How to Make Money Without Money in 2009

This is one of the conundrums that I know many people are facing at the moment. They have been made redundant or are simply out of work. Any money coming in is nowhere near enough to live off properly. So you are facing the new year with little or no money and poor prospects of things changing. How to make money without money seems impossible. Now I am not going to sit here and tell you that I have a magic wand of an idea that will sort out all your financial worries but I can give you a few examples of how to make a start.

Use a practical skill you already have
What I mean by this is offer to do a task or job that other people are prepared to pay you for. This can be anything from gardening or window cleaning. The point is to keep it practical and simple. If you are prepared to work then you can find work just by getting out there. I know someone who had no work. They printed 6000 handbills and personally delivered them to houses in their locality. As a result of this he got calls and work valued at £3,000. All it cost was some paper and printer ink and a lot of leg work. Another person I used recently fixed a leaking roof for me. I told him that all the roofs on the estate had the same problem and needed repair. So he simply told people what he had done in fixing my roof to other people in the area and he was inundated with more of the same sort of work.

Use computer skills you already have
If you know your way around computers then you can very easily make money without money. There are 2 ways you can do this. Firstly you can offer to write content or prepare graphics or even produce websites for people. If you have some specialist knowledge or skills then you can sell them online. The other thing you can do is to go into internet marketing. There are a huge number of ways to make money online. From simple AdSense websites to specialist sales websites there is a wealth of ways to make money online. And the beauty of the internet is that most of the resources you need are freely available.
