  • Fun ways to make money?

    Are there any fun ways to make money? I want to make some extra money, but I don't want to do something that isn't enjoyable. What are some of the fun ways that you make extra money and why you find it enjoyable?

    I think this depends a lot on what you consider to be fun. I consider fun and when you consider fun can be two completely things. I think we need to do is figure out what you enjoy doing, and then figure out a way to make money doing that. I don't think that there's a list of "fun jobs" that will encompass everybody, and it's important for you to figure out what you enjoy doing because that could be very different from everybody else.

      I agree that it depends on what you enjoy. If you love dogs, it might be fun to walk dogs for extra money. Personally, I would hate that. If you love kids, babysitting can be a lot of fun. I happen to love selling stuff so I find having a yard sale or setting up at a flea market to be a fun day. My wife really enjoys sewing and has made a decent amount of money selling custom bags. It all depends what you're into.

        What ever your hobby is, try to monetize it. I live that way.

        I like gardening, so I am a member of the Farmer's Market.

        I like writing, so I have a couple books. (One in my signature).

        I like to draw so I made a coloring book.

        you get the idea...whatever you like to do...do it and make money from it.

          If you have skills like you are good in painting or making artwork, it can be used to earn some and at the same time it can be enjoyable for you.
          I have read before that there are sites that will pay you while playing. I just have not encountered a real one yet so I cannot recommend a site. But that sounds a good thing if true since you will earn while playing.

                Painting does not sound fun to me.

                  Well it is fun if it is your hobby just like in my case. Try to find some hobby that suits you and use it on your advantage.

                    You know right and I was actually thinking that after I wrote it. If it's a hobby then I guess it would be fun to you but for me I can't draw so it's the total opposite.

                      Yup its like with other hobbies, painting its one thing. Some plays instruments, some sings on youtube (yikes :P).
                      I remember when i started drawing. Every painting was so poor. Begining of learning something was very hard.

                            Do you have a smart phone? There are plenty of Apps out there that pay you to try games etc.
