Well folks, I’m pleased to announce to you some breaking news.

Slowly but surely consumerism is being overturned by the new wave of creativity. Hand-made beats machine-made hands down and now you can get involved too. Think about what you do best…

Here are a few ideas from get rich slowly on how to become more creative and maybe even make a little extra money on the side. Making money instead of spending money will make you happier and is more of a challenge. So give it a try.

Here are just a couple of the suggestions at Get Rich Slowly

Knitting – Knit. If you’ve been bit by the knitting bug, put that yarn habit to work. Create simple, beautiful hats and scarves. Take commissioned projects. My wife is learning to knit adorable little stuffed animals; she could sell them for $20 a pop.

Cook. Do people rave about your food? Offer to cater events. Provide food for a picnic, for a cocktail party, for a sit-down dinner. Sell cookies and cakes.

You could also;

Produce hand-made cards, soap, candles, or coasters.

Sell your old things on an auction site, and other people’s too.

Make flavoured olive oils, lemon, chilli, garlic – sell them at craft fairs.

Stop spending and start earning. Are you making money from a hobby? Let us into the secret.
