Hey guys,

This is completely off topic! But recently I found out my mom has breast cancer; thankfully it's very early on, but the doctors have decided that she needs to remove both breasts just to be safe. Now what that means, other than a long recovery, is that my family and I are B-R-O-K-E from these upcoming surgery bills.

I work part time at my university for my university, but with winter break coming they're limiting our hours a bit...So! I ask you, community, how are some ways you've found to make side money?!

Current ideas:
- babysitting
- art commissions
- dog walking

Thanks everyone!

People like creative things, and adoptables. It's only a few dollars, like 5, for an average artist, but writing ideas, or maybe a Kickstarter fund or something could bring in more.

I recommend Kickstarter or something similar. Plenty of people are willing to help.

Best of luck, mate.

Thank you. :)

House sitting is always good around holiday times when people are leaving :) I know I got paid a bit when I house sat, just checking around the house/refilling the cats water was pretty worth it.

Cooking/nannying, bake sales (specially holiday goods yummmo), selling ornaments, shoveling snow, clean houses, waiting tables, ice skating rink, concession stands, and ski resorts.

hope one of those might give you an idea ^^

house sitting, pet sitting, dog walking, art, baby sitting, etsy if your crafty, kickstarter.

Sittercity is a good place to go for a variety of things, and usually the pay is fairly nice. Don't go to care.com unless you want to pay to be able to respond to messages.

making ears, tails, and other cosplay items is a good business on etsy

Sell different items around the house that you don't need on letgo, ebay, or craigslist

some grocery stores take recyclable items and give you money in return
