Hey guys – just a quick update this time: I am VERY excited to report that I
have been able to save enough money for my iPhone and I’m getting it on July
20th when my current contract expires! The day can’t get here soon enough!!!
I kept going back and forth trying to decide if I should get the new one or
not, and after scoring a pretty cool "job" unexpectedly (I’ll tell you about
that one in a sec) – I am choosing to go for the new S model.
The thing I am most surprised about? How I was able to earn extra money in
such unexpected ways! My latest job was something I did for my aunt. She is
really clueless when it comes to computers and her digital camera. She has
a friend at work who made a photo book for her husband for Father’s Day, and
loved it so much she wanted to do something similar for my uncle’s birthday.
She paid me to put it together for her … and it was EASY! (If you wanna
make one, try using iPhoto for a iPhoto book, or mypublisher.com)
After that, she decided she wanted me to help her do one for their vacation
last year … and for my grandma’s birthday! Even better, my aunt’s neighbor
got all excited about it and asked me to make two books for her. After
getting paid to put together 5 photo books, I found myself with a pretty
solid stack of cash!
I can’t say this enough – be creative when it comes to thinking about ways
to make money. You may not make a ton from each little thing on it’s own –
but a bunch of odd jobs and creative efforts can really add up!
