Have you ever found yourself wondering how to top up your income?? Are you living paycheck to paycheck, hoping that you'll have enough to get you by.

I know all about this, as I used to be one of those people that struggled to make it through to that next payday. You know how it is... mortgage to pay...family to feed...and bills that you can't seem to see the end of. The price of living gets more expensive but your wage seems to stay the same..Ahhhh!! Frustrating hey?

You find yourself constantly thinking....there must be a way to top up your income...without having to sacrifice even more time with your family. Well there is!

If you're one of those who do find yourself struggling, here are my top 3 tips on how to top up your income, from the comfort of your own home.

How To Top Up Your Income, Method 1 - Sell Some Stuff

This is the first thing you should look at doing... what do you have laying around your house that you no longer use. What can you sell for some quick cash.

Ebay and the like, are great for getting rid of junk that you no longer want or need. Don't forget... "one man's trash, is another man's treasure!" So if you think that your stuff isn't worth even bothering trying to sell...well...just make sure you think twice before you throw anything in the trash. Chances are, someone on Ebay is looking for that particular item.

Ok...so this one probably won't make you rich...but its a start, and it might just help you through.

How To Top Up Your Income, Method 2 - Freelancing

Do you have a specialized skill, or are you pretty good at doing something? Chances are, you'll be able to find people who will pay you good money online, for your expertise in a given field.

For example...you may be great at writing articles or building websites or you might be an electrical engineer or an architect or lawyer...there are people out there looking to pay people like you, to help them with their projects.

You can set yourself up an account at Elance or Odesk for free, and start being notified of jobs that fit your profile almost straight away. I used this method to get me out of the poo poo, quite a few times...

How To Top Up Your Income, Method 3 - Blogging

Although this method takes a little longer to set up and learn to do, the effort you put in can be very rewarding in the long run. You could start a blog about a specialized skill you have, or on one of your favorite hobbies or interests.

Like I said this one takes a little longer to get your head around if you've never done it before, but...learning how to blog for money can be very...very rewarding, both personally and financially.

So there you have it...my top three tips/methods on how to top up your income. Applying just one...or all of these methods, could mean the difference between not having enough to live, and finding it hard to support your family from week to week...to having more than you actually need, so that you can sleep easy at night and not stress about when that next big bill is going to hit. I hope this has helped and good luck.
