Is Donating Eggs for Cash Ok?

As I promised yesterday here’s a way for the ladies to make money, donating their eggs. Egg donation is in high demand with an estimated 10 million woman looking for fertility help as a last resort to adoption. Clinics will pay anywhere from $4000 up to an amazing $50,000 to an egg donor for a donated egg. While some might think that egg donation is similar to sperm donation, the truth is that there are actually few similarities. Continue Reading →

Travel Freebies and Deals Around the Web (4th Edition)

So, I know this is called “Travel Freebies and Deals…”, but it looks as if I am straying from the focus a bit. I hope you guys don’t mind, it’s just that there are so many compelling travel stories and destinations that it can be hard to stick to just the deals and freebies. Let me know in the comments if this is ok and I’ll continue to throw in extra goodies each week. Continue Reading →

A Business Idea That’s Going to the Dogs

If you love animals then walking dogs could be the perfect side hustle for you. Many people are too busy (or lazy) to walk their own dogs, offering you the perfect opportunity to profit.

While it would be nice to just start taking on customers, there are actually quite a few things involved in setting up a dog waking business. How to incorporate, do you need a permit, what should I charge, do I need insurance and how to market the business are just a few of the questions you will need to answer before starting your dog walking business.

Blood Money

Donating plasma is an easy way to make money to help pay down debts, fund an emergency savings fund, fund a sinking fund or even to save for retirement. It surely isn’t for everyone though. If you are freaked out by needles there’s no way you will get into donating plasma. Continue Reading →

Is Blogging the Path to Wealth?

I was thinking of doing a list type post of all the different ways you could make money, both online and offline, from one off’s like selling your crap to part time jobs to side hustles that can be expanded into a full business. It was shaping up to be quite a long list and then I realized that there are plenty of lists out there and while they are fun they don’t give the reader any details about all those different money making opportunities.

Paid Surveys for Fun and Profit

Ok, well maybe not so much fun, although that depends on your personal temperament. Paid surveys CAN be profitable though. I am not going to lie to everyone here and tell you that garbage about making $1000’s and quitting your job to do surveys full time. That is all just BS. I am also not going to try and tell you that all survey sites are legitimate because there is no doubt that there are scammy and spammy sites out there. Full disclosure: I started making money online 6 years ago with paid survey sites, but haven’t done a survey in the past 4 years or so. Continue Reading →

Side Hustle

A side hustle is something that you do aside from your main occupation or studies to increase your earnings. In many cases the side hustle is something that we love, although this isn’t technically necessary. For many people the ultimate goal is to turn their side hustle into a full time business and enjoy making money for doing something that they are passionate about.




I wasn’t able to determine where the term side hustle originated, but I believe it is fairly recent. I have been reading about making money for some time and it is only recently (2011) that I first came across the term. Interestingly, in the 19th century in America the term “hustle” meant “to get in a quick, illegal manner”. We’ve dropped the illegal part, but I think many people still believe a side hustle is a quick way to get money.
