How We Earned An Extra $118.45 In May (Mostly from our couch)

How Our Family Earned and Extra $118.45 Last Month

How We Earned An Extra $118.45 in May (Mostly from our couch)

Each month, we try to share how we were able to earn a little extra income through various avenues, including reselling our outgrown books, clothes, etc… using online sites, apps, links and more.

Some of these links will earn us points or rewards if you click through and register.  Others will not.  We only share those we find to have been beneficial to our family, through personal use.

This month was slow due to my injury and the new adventure of babysitting three days a week, but some income was still generated.  Our babysitting income has not been included, due to the fact we have not received our first check from the agency providing it.

Income (Less Monthly Expenses) From New Direct Sales Business Clever Container:  $60.65


For only a few hours of work online, dropping off clothes/books, setting up a garage sale or on my Kindle Fire, I would say we made some fairly good money.

Who couldn’t use an extra $100+ a month?
