Making money at home!

 am really trying to branch out just enough that being a single parent I can still afford to give my son the luxuries of a two parent household, or at least be able to afford daycare, an apartment, and still eat and have gas! 

I already do a bunch of things "on the side," and I want to help them become bigger. 
I need to create myself a to do list daily! 

1. Etsy- I have sold every babyfood jar my son ever ate, and made money doing it. We are out of the babyfood stage, so on to other adventures! I'm hoping to list around five new items a week.  Last year I made around $500. 

2. EBay- I used to list like crazy, and I used to do alright, but I lose motivation, quickly... 
 
3. I am brand new to direct sales! I just started selling ThirtyOne and I love love love it! I'm having trouble reaching new people so far, hoping my vendor events help! 

4. Swap.com - I resell kids and women's clothing, my grand total since October 2013, is just over $1000 in sales. It negates the clothing I buy my son! I don't spend much and rarely buy new.

And I save money in as many ways as possible. 
1. Thrift stores- I alternate between 3, I go at least once a month. Always keep your eyes open for things to resell! 
2. Yard sales- are even better, people give things away! Read my earlier post for more on that! 
3. Yerdle app. - sell others things for credits, and but what you need for shipping! 
4. Swap.com again- I also can trade items I have listed for items I need, then collect them until I have enough to make shipping worthwhile!
