Make a list of everything you can and are willing to do. Then put ads on ebay, craigslist etc.
If you don't put the same name on all it looks more serious Smile

I teach at all levels, English, French and literature.
I pet sit.
I breed and sell (family style, not industrial) rats and guinea pigs.
I do genealogy.
I help with homework/make you do the homework.
I sell books on amazon, and occasionally clothes or items bought abroad on ebay.
among others! Only mentioning those who function now BH!

I planned to baby sit non walking babies at night (when DH is home and DD in bed and I can just sit with the baby in front of tv Wink

) but think most people would want a bigger apartment even for that.

Depending on your personality and life experience, you can try:
life coach, diet coach, relooking, dating/shidduch coach, organize people's closets, personal shopper, teach people the basics of make up/appropriate dress for their type of body/hairdo/sheitel care, education/chinuch, work coach, selling wigs, catterer, photography/kid photography/pet photography, photography lessons, teaching computer use, ... be original!

While I personally don't like the idea, some do shidduchim, teach BTs... for money. Now maybe you could teach small classes kodesh for kids who need to catch up, even bat mitsva prep depending on what's expected. Inquire what is the "bad course" in local schools (here it's English) and see if you can offer catching up.

I would be very cautious when using craigslist. It is a great tool, but there are lots of wackos on there. IMHO anything that involves you going to other people's homes IMHO should be started more through word of mouth and advertising in frum magazines.

There are also craigslist people that try and get work for free (on ebay it's not such an issue because of the rating system, usually you can spot the duds). Make sure to have your terms clear and keep all written/emailed memos so you can have evidence. I know it sounds sad, but it really helps you in the one in a hundred case when the client is nasty.

I know someone who does medical transcription. She makes about $20/hr. If you're interested, I can find out which company she got trained by/works for.

Is this something that is from america or israel? If it is in israel, I would also be interested to find out more about this. Thanks.
