Method 2: Find a Freelance Tutoring Job


Much like finding a babysitting job, finding a tutoring job is another excellent way to make money fast. Not only is possible to get a job that starts tonight, but there’s also a good chance that you’ll get paid in cash on the spot. And when you’re in a bind, it doesn’t get much better than that.

When it comes to tutoring, there’s a good chance that the student or the student’s parents will want you to have some sort of formal credentials. In some cases, they’ll simply want you to be in college. In other cases, they’ll want you to have a bachelor’s degree or an advanced degree. And in other cases, they’ll want you to have significant prior teaching and/or tutoring experience.

If you’re already starting to worry that your credentials may not be sufficient,
don’t. If you satisfy even one of the criteria, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to find a bunch of tutoring gigs; and then leverage them into future gigs (if you decide to continue with it).

Before you do anything else, start by creating a resume that focuses on skills that you have that are pertinent to tutoring. This should include all prior teaching and tutoring experience, all degrees you hold, all standardized tests scores (if relevant), all reference you have from past tutoring work you have done, and all relevant coursework you have done on the collegiate level

Once you finish typing up your resume in Word, spend some time to format it so that it looks nice, and then save it in PDF format. Whenever you send out
applications for prospective tutoring jobs, you should always attach a copy of
your resume.

Now that everything is prepared, your next step is to look for tutoring jobs online. Again, you can do this through www.care.com and www.collegehelpers.com (if you are in college). Another great source of tutoring jobs is www.craigslist.org. If you do decide to search for tutoring jobs through www.craigslist.org, one thing you’ll notice is that many of the tutoring jobs are posted by agencies. If you want to continue to do tutoring in the long term, working through an agency may be your best option. If you’re looking for short-term work agencies may not be your best option, as they are unlikely to pay in cash; and will require you to do through a lengthy application process.
On the other hand, if you do want longer term jobs, you should seek out all of the agency jobs and post an application on each agency website.

Method 14: Use Myspace Forums to Sell Products

Social media has proven itself to be one of the best venues for marketing products in a hurry. In the past, Internet marketers have held contests to see how much they can make in one day, one week, or one month by creating a new product and selling it through a social marketing medium. When it comes to this type of project, there are two things to ask yourself: 1) what type of product should you sell? And 2) what medium should you sell it in? In this section, I will cover how to sell on Myspace forums. In the next section, we’ll consider Twitter. Let’s start with the types of products you might want to sell on Myspace. What Product to Sell You might immediately assume that you should sell one of your flagship products, but in fact, social media sites are not always the best place to do this. For this reason, you will want to answer this question by doing market research, rather than simply picking a product and running with it. One way you can approach this is to...

Method 15: Use Twitter to Market Your Myspace Forum Product

If you used method #14, you now have an inexpensive, entry-level product, a sales page, and a check-out system. All you need to do now is direct additional traffic to it. While posting on Myspace Forums was a good way to start, there are still a lot of options available for traffic generation. One such option is Twitter. If you’re unfamiliar with Twitter, it’s a social networking service that allows you to add and remove friend as you would on Myspace or Facebook. The difference is that the main purpose of Twitter is to send out 140-character “tweets” to your friends; and, in return, to read what they are tweeting about. Of course, this network can also be used to make money. To do this, you’ll need to start by creating an account if you do not already have one. After that, you will want to begin adding people who might be good targets for your sales campaign. You can do this by searching to see who is tweeting about topics related to your product. You can then...

Method 8: Freelance Graphic Design Work

way to make money online and quickly. If you’ve already done graphic design work of some sort, this is a definite plus; however, if you haven’t, don’t worry. It’s still possible to make money online doing graphic design work. For now, I will assume that you don’t have any prior experience. In that case, it is essential that you begin by accumulating items to put in your portfolio, which you will show to prospective clients. At a minimum, you will want to create the following objects: 1) an e-book cover; 2) a banner; 3) a small business logo; and 4) a payment button. If you’re not skilled with Photoshop (or GIMP, the free analog to Photoshop), this type of work probably won’t be easy initially. You’ll probably do very poorly on your first few banners, but with a little work, you can get better. If you plan to sell banners, one good way to start is by going to the following site: http://mybannermaker.com . This site will allow you to create a banner by uploading a back...
