Investing can be a difficult concept to understand when you don't know much about it. But here is one strategy you can use while investing in the stock market. This strategy is to split your money between four different types of businesses.

Sell Stuff you Don't Need One great way to make money is to sell old items in either a yard sale or on eBay.

This could be great for if your neighbors are away on a trip and need help with their house, or are just too busy to do house work in general.
