have multiple streams of income

I want to be financially independent by the time I am 40. So with this as a goal, I am trying to develop multiple streams of income. I have my full time job as Accountant but I also have freelance clients on the side as bookkeeper. This takes up too much of my time and I work over 50hrs a week now. Right now, what Im doing to diversify my income is thru my investments (earning dividends) and selling my old stuff thru craigslist or ebay and preparing income taxes with Jackson Hewitt. I am currently still searching for other doable streams that would fit into my skills and talents. Any ideas? Im more the introvert type, very much at home with numbers and not so much the artistic or social type of person.

I haven’t ruled out Arbonne but I don’t think it is for me.

I attended a seminar for Arbonne. Do you think I should join them or are they like the rest?

I’m gonna try ebay, because so much has been written about it that I can learn from.

Since we just moved into the new house, so we are now renovating our condo and plan to find someone to rent it before New Year. This rental income will help us pay off the loan (for the new house) to the bank.

I need some ideas for generating extra income that do not involve multi level marketing. I’m ok with affiliate program on the internet that have several levels, but I don’t want to get involved with recruiting people or doing direct selling.

Diversification. That’s what I want.

I dogsit a lot for friends, and never ask for payment, but wouldn’t it be awesome to get paid to play with dogs?!? A friend’s husband has just opened a veterinary practice, and she’s excited for me to put a flier or business cards in their waiting room advertising my services.

As well, I recently spent 5 days nannying for a family with two young girls. Getting that paycheck was pretty sweet! The mother and I have discussed making a semi-regular gig of it on Saturday nights this winter.

—Which benefits me in several ways!! They live only 10 min from the ski area I instruct at on weekends all winter. Best case scenario: I instruct all day at Bolton, babysit the girls Saturday night and crash in their guest room, then roll back up the mountain to instruct Sunday. Saves time, saves gas, brings in money the whole time!!

I am very interested in making money online. My newest experiment is a blog I have put together. I would love some feedback or comments-

i have been putting together a blog that i am hoping to make money with. it is new. i have been researching on the best ways to make money. the lesson today-do not let fear prevent me from trying. it is not a slick sales tool website. it is not focused. i do not know who my audience is. what i do know is that i am trying and experimenting and perfection may come at a later date…at least i hope. open for comments www.patsyincb.blogspot.com
