How Do You Make Extra Money?

[Ian]

So I've been out of work a while now due to a lay off. In the past months I've been trying to boost my EI (employment insurance) income by doing little jobs on the side for cash. I've picked up a few freelance design jobs here and there as well as being paid every now and again for performing at shows and selling a few books.

But I want to explore more options. Google and blogs seem to always have the same list saying:

Collect and Sell Scrap Metal
Sell Your Jizz
Ebay Things from Around the House

Most of the lists suck, involve way to much bullshit or are just not set for the average person. So I thought we could all share some ideas since theres a good chance many of us won't overlap and steal work from each other. Ya know, with the internets and all.


So, how do you boost your monthly income?
How can you make a quick or slow buck?
