I recently found a piece by David Bach titled Five Ways to Grow Your Income by 20 Percent. As the title suggests, he offers five ideas for growing your income -- some of which I like and some I don't. Here they are:
1. Change your thinking by asking better questions.
Weak. I'm passing on this one.
2. Start a side business.
Good idea. I call this turning your hobby into an income but it doesn't HAVE to be a hobby. It can be simply a new, side business you think will make you some extra $$$$$$$$.
3. Raise your rates.
Yeah, this CAN work, but sometimes in a competitive environment, you don't have this choice.
4. Get extra work -- at work.
A new, original, good idea. Think about what your company is paying others to do and see if you could do it as well as or better for the same amount or less.
5. Get a raise.
I like this idea and have written about it before. Good!
This said, maybe none of these ideas work for you. If that's the case, check out all the articles in my making money category -- there has to be something there that can add an extra boost to your income.
