I'd really love to hear from people who earn extra income by doing the kind of things talked about in this part of the forum (ie. extra income activities). I'm trying to decide what kind of things might suit me, and I thought a thread like this might be useful for other people.

What do you do?

How many hours do you spend doing it?

And how much money do you make?

(If this gets done all the time I apologise!) :D
Grateful to finally be debt free!

    I'm a part time teacher of vehicle mechanics.

    50-60 hours per week, more during certain times e.g. start of the year, when assessments are due etc.

    I'm a full time internet marketer and I'm also involved in basic web design for local businesses.

    My work hour varies, but even after nearly four years of doing this I still put in about 50 hours per week and more importantly, I enjoy it and have a have a passion for this type of business.

    The first two years were a struggle, but I now enjoy a decent full time income from the various income streams I have in place and I'm always looking to build for the future.

    There has probably never been a better time in working from home with the doom and gloom of the worldwide economy and poor selection of available jobs, but you have to put the work in to get the long term results.

    Thanks. I kind of meant with regards to 'extra income' types of things. I probably didn't make that clear. :)
