Want to know how to make money at home? Are you a stay at home Mom that needs a part-time job? Maybe you're disabled, and need to work-at-home? Or simply retired and just need to earn some extra cash? Simply need to supplement your income? There are many reasons that we need or want to earn extra money, so I've put together a list of possible options for that include work-at-home jobs, ways to sell your stuff, SwagBucks, donating your stuff and other ways to make money. I'll keep adding to this list as I find legitimate options!
Most of these work-at-home jobs involve answering in-bound customer and/or Customer Service calls. Some may involve sales or outgoing sales calls. You, yourself must have a pleasant phone voice, typing skills, be able to read, write, learn their software/programs, and have great customer service skills. Let's face it, in customer service, you will have to deal with difficult customers from time-to-time, and you will need to be able to remain pleasant under those circumstances.
In the way of equipment, most of these positions require that you have a computer, high-speed Internet access, a landline phone, and a quiet place to work with no dogs barking, loud birds chirping, or children screaming (a room to yourself). They do not provide any of the equipment needed, but there may be a tax write-off for your work-at-home activity if you allocate a specific space in your home (ask your tax advisor). You may be required to purchase specific equipment, such as a telephone headset for the position.
Most only hire part-time, or during the Holidays, and the hours may vary or shift from day to evening to graveyard, so it's best if your schedule is flexible. Sometimes seniority and/or performance play a great part in getting the best shifts. Be aware that they will conduct interviews over the phone or online (i.e., Skype), and if you pass the initial stages, they will probably send you a packet that will include authorization for a criminal check, credit check, and possibly blood screening (for drugs and alcohol). For some, you will have to pay for the criminal/background check yourself (they will tell you how much it will cost). Once you've passed all the screenings and online interviews you'll be provided with either phone/online/computer training and be given a start date.

If you have extra space in your driveway, or you have an extra long driveway to your home with grass and/or pavement, you might be able to rent out parking space(s), if it's legal in your jurisdiction. This is especially lucrative if you live near a Stadium, Ball Park, Event Venue, Carnival, Theme Park, Airport, etc.
There are now several apps that will help to connect you with people looking for parking spaces for short or long terms. See the list below.
But, many people also find people that need parking spaces on their own. If it's legal and/or you're not in an HOA, you could simply put out a sign that says how much you're charging (i.e., Event Parking $10, or Monthly Parking $150). Then (if it's nighttime) they use a large light stick or flashlight, to guide people to their homes to park. You hand the person parking a card or piece of paper with your first name, address and cell number. They keep their keys, and they pay you in advance. When they're finished at the event, they simply come and drive away. You must make certain to have the cars park in such a way as not to block each other from exiting.
Also, if you live in a Condo or Townhome and you're allotted, say, two(2) spaces, but you only have one(1) vehicle, ask around to see if any of your neighbors might want to rent your spare space from you on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Or, if you don't have any vehicles; because you use Uber or Lyft, ride a bike to work, or simply don't drive, then rent out both spaces. You get the idea. In many situations like this, parking spaces are like gold, and extra cars and visiting guests sometimes have nowhere to park, or must park far away to a resident and walk. So, it may be worth it to your neighbor to pay you for your spare space.
