Vain Roxy

Like every girl out there, I have certain “luxuries” that I simply cannot (or perhaps will not) go without.  These include my addiction to Saks Fifth Avenue, True Religion Jeans, and Bumble and Bumble hair products.  However, my bank account is growing slim and it would be nice to have some supplemental income to help pay for my needs - one that would not interfere with my current full-time job.   So after doing a little research and asking some friends, I have come up with a list of possibilities…who knows, perhaps one would work well for you!

• Become a mystery shopper.  Getting paid to shop?  I know, it sounds too good to be true but believe it!  Retail and restaurant corporations use mystery shopping companies (who in turn employ mystery shoppers) as a way to improve customer service.  There are tons of companies out there to work for but unfortunately, a number of scams as well.  Legitimate companies will never make you pay to be employed or “become a member.”  Look for companies that offer an online application.
•  eBay!  I have a closet full of stuff that I am going to list on ebay…one man’s trash is another’s treasure!
• I have toyed with the idea of opening an online retail store using a dropship company.  Imagine an online store that sold nothing but designer purses…just my kind of store!
• Since I love to write (and I was an English Language major in college), why not put my talent to good use?  There are literally thousands of freelance writing and editing jobs available online…you just have to look.
• I have a friend who is an amazing amateur photographer.  He loves taking photos and he sells them all online and makes pretty good money on the side.  Do something where you can utilize a passion of yours.

Anyone have any cool ideas?
