According to CNN, 6 in 10 Americans don’t have $500 in savings.
THE CHALLENGE
Save $20 every week for one year, and at the end of the year, you will have saved $1,040.
Some of my favorites ways to earn extra income are:
- BloggingWhat is a blog? A blog is an online space where you can share your passions, interests, and expertise. Bloggers post informational articles and ‘how-to’s’ in an effort to provide entertainment or advice to their readers. There is money to be made in blogging once you have built your following. Bloggers can earn money through advertising, affiliate sales and by selling their own products or services.
- Online SurveysThere are many survey sites that will pay you to take surveys. When setting up your profile with any survey site, it’s important to fill it out completely. Doing so will allow the company to send you surveys that match your needs and interests. Typically, the more surveys you take, the more surveys will be sent your way.
