We are always looking for creative ways to make money while trying to build our fastlane business.
We know that a 9-5 simply takes up way too much time, leaving not much time to work on our business so we are always looking for some bootstrapping method to make a few bucks.
Found a great article for whoever is interested in some alternative ways of making extra $$$ without the 9-5.

From the article:
"Britney Bedford gave up her fulltime job as an aesthetician to work in this new economy – and she makes more now than she did before. Her most consistent work is through TaskRabbit, an online classifieds for odd jobs. “I can make anywhere between 20 and 60 dollars an hour,” she says. “One time I was hired by someone to drive a Rolls-Roycefor their wedding. I had to pick up the car and drive them down the aisle…. I believe I got paid $200 for that.” But more often, tasks are mundane, like going to Costco for someone – she charges about $40 for that task, depending on how far out of her way she has to go."
Here are a few websites listed as possible income sources:
· https://www.airbnb.com/ allows people to rent out rooms/homes
· https://www.taskrabbit.com/ allows users to outsource small jobs and tasks to others in their neighborhood
· http://snapgoods.com/ allows you to rent or borrow gear from within their network or neighborhood.
· http://www.getaround.com/ lets you rent your vehicle when you aren't using it
· https://poshmark.com/ lets you buy and sell fashion
· Etsy specializes in hand-made crafts and vintage items. No longer do you have to fight for good placement in a local gallery; with Etsy, you offer your talents directly to the world.
· thredUP provides an outlet for clothes your kids have outgrown.
· Uber and Lyft let you be a taxi driver on call.
· RelayRides lets you rent your car when you’re not using it. (And in San Francisco, you can park your car at the airport, and a traveler rents it while you’re gone. Not only do you collect the rental fee, but you don’t have to pay for airport parking!)
· GetMyBoat and Boatbound let you rent your boat (yes theyprovide the insurance).
· ParkatmyHouse even lets you rent out space in your driveway.
· Vayable connects travelers to local hosts who give personalized tours all over the world.
· And ofcourse Ebay and Craigslist
p.s. I am not affiliated with any of these services nor have I ever used any (except ebay and craigslist) so thread at your own risk.
