HOW TO MAKE MORE MONEY AT YOUR CURRENT JOB

Sometimes you reach a point in your life where you cut, you scrimp, and you just can't do anything else. You can barely find the money to get by every month, let alone actually live a little! What's a Freeb to do? Lucky for you, we've got some great tips that will help you to make more money at your current job.

WAYS TO GET NOTICED AT THE WORKPLACE

  • Act Like the Owner – Work hard. Get there early. Stay late. Dress the part. If the manager has to wear a certain type of clothing, start wearing that type of clothing (if it's allowed). Act the part that you hope to rise to. Be a leader before you're actually a leader so your coworkers and management will notice you.
  • Think Outside of the Box – Be creative with your position. Be efficient with your time. Come up with systems that can make the company run smoother. Have ways the company can save money? Suggest them!
  • Simply Ask – Ask the boss what you can do to qualify for a bonus, earn a commission, or make more money. You may not necessarily want to ask them for a raise or for a promotion, but demonstrate to them that you're willing to do what it takes!

Start doing all of those and your boss will never have a doubt in their mind who they should turn to when they need to promote somebody to a higher level position.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY ON THE SIDE

Use these tips from Fun Cheap or Free for how to make more money by getting a side hustle!

This is perfect for those who stay at home, work part time or have full-time jobs, but are still needing more.

I really don't recommend jumping into something like an MLM or network marketing company unless you're really passionate about it. If you're going to stick with it and use the product regardless of your sales record, then go at it with caution. But if you're going to have to pay a chunk of change to get started and then quit within the first three months because you can't find any customers, then it's not worth it!

HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN BUSINESS

Have a bomb business idea? If you love it, then use these tips on how to make more money by building your own business and get after it!

  • Share Your Business Idea with EVERYBODY – Don't hide your business idea. Don't be afraid of telling people your idea. Talk to everybody about it! Your friends, your family, your neighbors, a stranger at the grocery store. You never know, those who aren't close friends of yours may give you the best feedback! It's always good to talk to as many people as you can to see if your idea is necessary and people would pay for it.
  • Sell It Before You Build It – Literally and figuratively, sell your product or service before you build it. Bounce all of your ideas off people before and during building the product or service. This will help you to create the perfect business for your customers. Plus, it's a great way to get some start up money by doing pre-orders!
  • Get Testimonials – If you have a service business, you don't necessarily need money to get started! All you need are whatever products are necessary to perform the service and you can get started. Do your first few services at a discounted price and be sure to get testimonials and referrals from your customers. Once you have a name for yourself, you'll be able to perform those services on a more regular basis at full-price.

So what are you waiting for, get to building that biznas already! 😉
