When temps reach above 100 and the heat index reaches even higher, all you can do is stay inside and bath in the air conditioning. However, these hot temps also create high electric bills as your air conditioner fights to keep your home at a comfortable temperature.

Instead of watching your bank account go below zero every time a new electric bill comes around, consider picking up a second job. A summer job can be a great way to keep a little extra cash in your pocket, and you don’t even have to brave the heat or leave your home to work at one. To find a summer job this summer, simply grab your computer and:

Become a Freelance Writer

Becoming a freelance writer can put quite a few extra dollars in your pocket this summer, but can be a little more difficult to get going. To gain business freelancing, you will have to network which isn’t always an easy task, but it can be financially rewarding if you acquire a couple high end clients. To become a freelance writer this summer through the most hassle-free way possible, simply:

  • Find an online freelance forum
  • Sign up
  • Pay membership fees
  • Bid on projects
  • Pray someone accepts your bid
  • Get awarded a project
  • Complete project
  • Get paid
  • Set aside money for independent contractor taxes

Take Online Surveys

Taking online surveys is by far one of the easiest ways to earn extra cash; however, those interested need to make sure the company they choose to work for is credible and not just some scam. Companies like SurveyHead have been around for a few years and have numerous positive reviews allowing novice survey takers to realize the company’s credibility. If all you can find are bad reviews or if you can find any reviews at all, don’t sign up with the company. It will most likely be a scam. After you find a company worthy of your employment, all you simply have to do is:

  • Sign up with the company
  • Take surveys
  • Receive cash and other rewards

Open a Store on an Online Market

Selling items through an online market can be highly profitable, but it also takes initial start-up capital and payment isn’t always reliable because you don’t know when and if your products will sell. However, if you have a huge collection of items lying around you need to sell, selling items through an online market, such as eBay, could be perfect for you. To open a store through an online market, you simply need to:

  • Collect or purchase items to sell
  • Take photos of all items and determine individual values
  • List them on site
  • Attempt minor marketing through social networking sites
  • Wait for auction to end
  • Package and ship purchased items
  • Purchase more items with profits
  • Start cycle all over again

You shouldn’t have to work your summer away, but you also shouldn’t have to sacrifice the funds needed to enjoy it simply to keep your house cool. A small, part-time job can provide you with the flexibility and funds you need to have fun this summer, and who knows, could possibly turn in to a career all on its own.

It feels exciting to be able to get your own spot where you can display all your creativity. You must have felt at times that a web page could have looked better with some changes. You now have the opportunity to do all this on your own web page. Since most of us have a Google account, it is easy to start here. Learn how to make your own Google webpage so that you can have fun while on the job.

  1. http://sites.google.com is a good place to start. With an already existing account, you can just sign in first. In case you are a first-time user you can “sign up for sites” and do as it directs you. After you have formally signed in, you can begin creating your own web page by clicking on the “create site” box.
  2. In fact, you will be guided along every step with explicit instructions to make your work easy. You have to start out by giving your site a name. The name should be relevant with what you are going to use the site for. For example, if you want the page to talk about pets, you can write “Mary’s Cute Little Pets”. An URL also has to be chosen for your page which should also be synonymous with the theme of your page, like “Maryspets”. You have to choose a name which has not been already used. There may be a few suggestions from Google too but it is up to you to select the name.How to Make Your Own Google Web Page1 How to Make Your Own Google Web Page
  3. By following the given directions, you can write a description and select a theme which will suit the page. The look of your site depends on the theme. Then you have to write the given code to identify that you are indeed a human and click on “create site”.
  4. You will then come to a page with the word “home” written on the sidebar. If you want to add something more to the site then click on “edit page”. Since this will be the main page of your site, be careful to design it such that anyone who visits it will be impressed. You can add a little description of the site to help the visitor understand the purpose of the site. This page will be auto saved from time to time and you can also click on “save” after your work is done.
  5. The editor used is WYSIWYG which suggests that the site is exactly how you see it. You can experiment with a few ideas about the look of your site. In fact, Google has also provided a “help” link to help you out with ideas.
  6. Always remember that you have 100 MB space which you can use for both your text and pictures. And be prepared to have the world take a glimpse of what you are putting on the site. Therefore, it is wise not to put any private material.

Your site is finally ready and waiting for improvements. You can be happy to finally have a web page of your own.
