These seven tips will be helpful to bring home more income, either immediately or for the future

1. Watch your job and improve your wages
The economic situation and unemployment is not enough to go jumping from one site to another in search of a little more money, but still demonstrates why not just deserve to keep your job, but also that they pay you more if you and just think your company is not in deep water. Documenta to your boss what you’ve contributed to the company in terms of money you have saved or the solutions you’ve implemented. Show your skills, how they have benefited your work, and highlights what you do to improve operations. Offer to take on additional responsibilities for more pay, but neither exaggerate nor torment your boss, because right now most companies are not very likely to make gains. Search website www.salary.com to know what the average salaries in your field. The best time to address the issue is right before your annual review or when you’ve made a special achievement.

2. Get yourself a second job
If you have a special talent or a skill, use it to make more money at the same time. If you can make desserts, cakes to offer your local business. If you are a teacher, gave private lessons. Or open a business on eBay. Start small and if it’s okay, it could become a new career.

3. Request advice
Everyone needs little help from time to time! Ideally, find someone to guide your career, a sort of consultant, mentor or “godfather” or “godmother” (as you want to call it) which will save you time and introduce you to important contacts. Find someone you admire within your organization, call the Chamber of Commerce, make a list of companies adhering to find out who is the president. Attend conferences in your industry and join associations. Make a list of specialists in your field, choose one or two, contact and learn from them.

4.Reduces debt and interest
Analyze your loans (to be clear what you need), part your debts according to the annual interest rate, and give them priority to those with higher interest rates. If you have a good credit record, call your creditors and ask them to cut the rate. If that fails, consolidating your credit cards and transfers the balance to one that charges a lower interest rate than you’re paying for. Now just lower the federal interest rate, you have a good chance to refinance your mortgage to lower monthly payments, both at home and in your car. Remember that if you have more than 20% in the accumulated surplus of the value of your home, equity, and not have to pay to secure your mortgage and you can remove the prepaid mortgage insurance, or PMI. Close credit cards you use to save you no annual fees.

5. Consider returning to college
If your company offers a program where they cover your education expenses, known as tuition reimbursement, you should seriously consider to improve your skills. Each company has specific requirements for their employees, but usually there is a limit on the maximum reimbursement for courses they take, and these usually must be related to the work you do. You can use the knowledge you acquire to ask then a raise or a promotion, or ultimately get another job where you pay a better wage.

6. Sell what you do not use
There is money hidden in your house! Sure you have a stereo or an old exercise machine gathering dust in some corner of your home. Take inventory of everything you do not use, get even profit. Go piling old clothes, records, books, CDs, DVDs, furniture, computers, cell phones and everything you find. There are several sites where you can get rid of your junk: resale shops (in English, consignment shops) sell your stuff for you and pay you a percentage of what they receive. You can also get an ad in the classifieds of your local newspaper, listing everything they want to sell, or do so online, at local www.craiglist.org page. Another option is to organize a garage sale or direct sales at home. You can also sell your used items online at eBay.com. Finally, if you do things your donation to any charitable institution like a church, you can deduct the value of your belongings from your annual income and thus pay less tax.
