For those searching for a solution to making extra money and debt cures you need to think realistically about how to resolve these issues.  How can you make extra cash to become debt free and build your savings account up?  Here are some tips to help accomplish your goals;

1. Sell something on EBay.  In a recent survey, 1.5 million people said they supplement their income by selling items on eBay.  You can log on to their community first to get a feel for the kinds of fees that are involved, as well as the merchandise and pricing that are most popular.  Then you can go through your old trinkets and clothing you want to part with and try your hand at selling them online.  Additionally, you can purchase inexpensive items and garage sale gems to sell at a profit.

2. Cater dinners or homemade goods.  Start by contacting churches.  No state or local licenses are required IF you work on a small scale.  Promote yourself through local news and community papers, community boards and flyers.  Factor in the cost of ingredients, delivery and labor in your prices.  You can also contact businesses nearby that might be in need of catering services for office meetings.  If you need a place to develop your catering, speak with churches about renting out their kitchen or the fire house.

3. Start a personal concierge service. Offer your services to people in your neighborhood such as busy professionals or individuals with children to help them through their to-do lists.  Run errands like picking up the dry cleaning or grocery shopping.  Shop and wrap special gifts and deliver packages to the post office.  You can charge a flat rate or an hourly rate with incentives to drive traffic to your door.

Those are all ideas for the entrepreneur in you; however, also consider getting a part-time gig at the local mall or an office looking for extra help.  You must keep your goals in mind of ridding yourself of extra debt and setting objectives to get it done.  The longer you put off making a dent in that list of payables, the longer it will take to pay it off.
