Offer a service. This can be anything from babysitting to running errands for people. Just make sure you know your local laws regarding doing whatever business you want to take on.

You can also do freelance work with graphic design, editing, and translation. All you need is a computer and some time. There are several ways you can make money online.
Answer phones for companies. There are many companies that are looking for people to work from home answering customer service inquiries for them. Do your homework, though. There are many scams out there that promise this line of work.

I have several companies listed where you can make money from home.
Make a hobby into a profit maker. If you have a hobby that is creative such as crocheting, soap making, knitting or sewing, try selling your goods online on websites like Etsy. You can try selling it on your own, but Etsy helps you connect with people who are seeking homemade goods, even if they do charge small fees.
Direct marketing can be a good way to go. If you are good at selling yourself and products, direct marketing like Tupperware, Avon or Mary Kay may be a good way to go. At first, it requires an investment and it may be a while until you build a good customer base, but you can make some good side income if you have a talent for it.
Share your Knowledge. Do you know how to coupon well? How about cook or bake? Find out if there is a local adult continuing education school in your area that is looking for teachers to teach classes. Often, you can pitch the school yourself and offer a class. You collect a fee for teaching it. If you do this often or teach a couple of night school classes, you can make a couple of hundred dollars.
