How to Make $10,000

Making more money... it's something everyone wants to do. If you work a full time job, then chances are you don't want to work a part time job in order to get that extra couple of bills in your pocket. So how can somebody make some money without having to do that much work? Well first thing is first, figure out how much extra you want to make.

If you are just looking to make an extra $10,000 a year then it's as simple as just making $28 a day. If you can make $28 in a day then you are looking at $10,220 a year. This of course is considering that you could do this job every day. Now remembering that we don't have much time due to our full time job, we need to figure out how to make close to $30 in a short amount of time each day. It's actually not that hard when you sit down and think about it. Let's take a look at the dog method.

If your neighbourhood is filled with dog owners, you could easily be seeing an extra $10,000 coming in no problem. Now maybe you are wondering, "How can I make $10,000 just because I live near dogs?" Well actually there are 2 ways to easily make that money! The first one is dog walking. If you charge $10 for an hour walk with the dog and walk three dogs at a time you are looking at $30 an hour, if you do this once a day for an entire year you have just made $10,950. Now think about that for a second! You can make $10,000 just by walking your neighbour's dogs! Best of all, $10 is actually a low cost in a lot of areas. Some cities go for no less then $20 an hour. If you can handle more dogs, then by all means add to that number. If you can pull off 6 dogs at a time charging $20 an hour then you are looking at $43,800 annually! The second way to easily make $10,000 is to pick up after the neighbourhood dogs. Dogs need to go outside, and when they do they leave a little mess behind. Well most owners don't enjoy picking up that mess left in their own backyards. You could profit from this disgusting mess though! Knowing that you need to make $196 a week in order to make your $28 a day, you just need to find as many people as you can who don't want to pick up dog poop. Charge them a set fee for weekly cleanups. You could set it up so you go to one house a night and just pick up the poop. Get 7 clients and charge them $30 a week and you are over your $28 minimum. Cleaning up dog poop also isn't very time consuming either. You should be able to do each house in under 20 minutes. Remember to pick up the check after you pick up the mess though.

In later editions of "Making $10,000" we will look at other ways to make $10,000 without breaking our backs. Until then, get out there with your pooper scoopers and clean up for some good pay on the side!
