Extra Money Around the Neighborhood

Looking for creative ideas to generate some extra cash? Try looking around your very own neighborhood. Theres always someone close by that's in need of something you have to offer. Whether it's your time, knowledge, or just an extra set of hands. Try creating a newsletter showcasing what you have to offer and put them in each mailbox you come to as you walk the dog. You can tailor your newsletter to something specific such as mowing lawns, grooming dogs, house cleaning, whatever you have to offer. The sky is the limit with your creativity and the kiddos can be a big help in scoping out new customers. As a matter of fact the whole family can get involved to make a task go by faster while having fun and developing your relationships with one another. Picture this, dad's mowing while mom is in the garden. Little Timmy is sweeping the driveway after he pulled all the weeds because his big sister is still washing the vinyl siding. Seems like alot huh? This task may only take an able-bodied family an hour to complete. But the nice old man with the bad back down the street will be gleaming with joy as he watches his yard come back to life. A value in his eyes for $100 dollars. How many people in your neighborhood can you help this weekend?
If the weather is nice outside you could get alot done. Your neighbors will love the service you provide and in time they may think of you first every time they're in need of help around the house. You may not be able to accommodate them every time, but wouldn't it be nice to know you're thought of like that? Maybe your budding handy service can extend through the fall and winter months as well with cleaning gutters, raking leaves, shoveling snow, etc. Keep in mind as your demand increases, so will the pay and so will your relationship with the family.
