10 Ways to Make More Money This Fall
We may have just entered the fall season, but the holidays will be here sooner than you think. Who doesn’t need a few extra bucks to help pay for the gifts, travel expenses, and holiday parties? The good news is that in today’s booming freelance economy there are tons of easy ways to make an extra buck and new gigs are popping up daily. Here’s a list of 10 ways you can fatten up your wallet this fall.

If you’ve got a smart phone and a car that’s younger than ten years old, you could consider driving for Uber or Lyft. The average Uber driver makes about $19 per hour – that’s pretty solid money for a side gig. However, make sure to call a Freeway Insurance expert before proceeding. Most typical personal use policies do not cover commercial driving activity, and you definitely want to make sure you have the proper coverage before using your car in this manner.

Through TaskRabbit you can sign up to do odd jobs or run errands for people in your neighborhood and get paid for it. According to Time, top Taskers “can earn $6,000 to $7,000 a month.” (Just note that, like with Uber or Lyft, you’ll want to call your Freeway Insurance broker to verify that you’re covered while using your vehicle for commercial purposes.)

According to USA Today, the average employee is expected to get a 3% raise in 2015. If it’s been a while since you’ve gotten a raise, and you feel you continue to add more value to your company, now may be the time to ask. But how should you go about it? You’ll have to justify your request with a clear idea of how you’ve contributed to your organization. Personal finance guru Suze Orman says, “Ask for a meeting to discuss your compensation; get it on the schedule…prepare a one-page list of what you have accomplished. Be as specific as possible.”
