             Sell unwanted from your house: If you are have small debts then you can borrow from a payday loan lender or from your friends and repay them. But, when you are facing some financial problems which require a large amount of money then sell unwanted things that are valuable. This includes selling things like antique furniture, old jewelries and make cash out of it. Research the internet to get best deal for your valuable items; advertise using eBay.

             Garage sale: During hard times, people often look for extra money. If you have a large garage space then you can earn money by turning your garage into a yard sale area. You can either start a new garage sale or you can rent for storage.  

             Freelance writing: It is possible to make money from freelance writing even for new writers. If you can write you can start your own blog and write or you can content for other websites that pay you. Consider revenue sharing websites to sell your work. With freelance writing you can increase your income and at the same time share your knowledge.

             Investments: Know which investments will bring you money. Try to find out the investment that has tax benefits, but make sure that you get more in return on your investment.
