We are all looking for money - without it, we can't really do much. Problem is, your traditional way of making money through a job will often lead you to exhaustion from working all day and, unless you obtain a professional level position (i.e. doctor, lawyer, etc.) - your time versus income investment ratio is not the best.

So, what are some money making strategies that can get you an extra buck without getting another job? There are many. If you are a student, there are dozens of sites out there dedicated to scholarships. Go online and spend a few hours a day applying to these - most people never do and the money just gets thrown away. You can literally get free money for nearly anything.

Some other money making strategies are taking your savings and investing them, like in real estate or mutual funds. Of course, neither is doing so hot right now, so save your cash for later investments or put them in money markets as they are safest.

Of all the money making strategies, though, the king is saving. You can't make money work for you unless you save it first - so remember that.
