5 Easy Ways to Make Money This Weekend Vol. 1

1. Organize a Local Sports Tourney: Ok... this will take about a week to organize but the actual tourney itself will take place over Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday. I'll use Basketball as an example. You can rent a school gym for like $15 for 2 hours or you can rent it for an entire day for anywhere from $50 to $100. If you have each team pay an entry fee with first prize being 50% of the entry fee you can take home anywhere from $250 to $500 for a single tourney. You can sell pop and snacks to make even more money. A 24-pack of Pop is $5.00 if you sell each pop for $1.00 you can make $19, if you sell bulk bags of chips or hotdogs you can make another $20 for 25 items sold. Think of this over a 3-day period.

2. Host a Video Game Tourney: Do you have a big screen TV. Or two? Host a Video Game Tournament. Make it a single/double elimination with a buy in of $10/$20 where the winner takes home 50% of the pot. Sports games and First Person shooters work the best for this type of tourney. Like the other tourney idea you can sell pop and food to make bigger profits.

3. Visit Swap Meets, Thrift Stores, Flea Markets, and Garage Sales every Saturday: Look for great deals on all kinds of different products that you can resell on eBay or in your very own Garage sale. Books, CDs, Movies, Video games, and Toys are all big sellers as long as they are in decent condition.

4. Use your Digital Camera: Spend you Saturday taking beautiful pictures, spend Sunday turning those pictures into postcards, greeting cards, online greeting cards, screensavers, buttons, book covers, or anything else you can think of. You can market postcards and greeting cards to your local shops, and even offer to sell your screensaver to the city (the city can then put it on it's website to generate tourism)

5. Moving Man/Woman: If you own a truck you can offer to help people move every Saturday. Customers pay for gas, lunch, and your hourly fee. This is a simple way to make an extra $100-$200 every weekend. People move everyday, cash in on it.

I hope you've enjoyed this guide. If you do PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE.
