Chris,
Years ago I did the same thing. I wanted to make more money and have. A couple of ways are available. Ebay is about the easiest and least expensive way. Selling items from household to cars on eBay is easy, even selling items for friends and the general public for a fee works. You can charge 15 to 20% of the selling price, plus the listing and shipping charges. The other business could be a shipping service. Mail package for people through UPS. This can be done by setting up an on call service with UPS for free. Charges for this range anyway from 5 to 10 dollars for the convience of the customer not doing it. If you like a little labor, you can do auto detailing from home. All you need for this is cleaning material and detailing items and a small vacuum. These should run you about 40.00 dollars. Charges for detailing range anywhere from 35.00 to 100.00 depnding on the amount of service, more for vans and or pickups. Our prices here at the car lot are 125.00 to start. If you need any help or information contact me and I'll be more than happy to help.

Well they stole my idea of the car detailing, it works fairly good, I set two of my sons up doing that at various times of their unemployment life, and it helped them pay the bills.
It is summer or soon to be a lawn service can get you going.
And there are some legit home customer service jobs that people speak of on here from time to time.
Even a 2nd part time job at many places like malls and the such.
And of course look at your budget, most people if not almost all people just make it, because they get use to spending to the amount of money they make.

Hey Chris,
I actually used to work for Verizon Wireless. I resigned December 2005. I still work on an independent contractor basis with them; much more lucrative that way. Essentially, I do a lot of the same thing that a sales person does, but I also have the ability to build my own team and leverage my efforts. The best part about it is that I don't have to get someone to buy something new, they already have the phone, all I have to do is either update their plan or upgrade them; it's pretty sweet.
