text: what is the best way to make extra money on a part-time basis? i already have a full-time job and i have a young son. i am currently saving a small amount each month. i need to make some extra money to eventually use for a down payment on a house. any suggestions?  serious answers only please! thank you. depends on what skills you have. if you have accounting skills for example, or book keeping you can do outsource work for companies part time at home.  post what you do and your hourly rate on craigs list, or other free internet sites to attract business. many companies use part time home workers to fill in when they are busy. but again,  what is it you do?
