We asked for your advice on this month's topic: "Entrepreneur Moms… Given today's economy, what have you done, or what are you doing to generate additional income for your family?"
I am a mother of a four year old daughter and an eight month old son. To bring a little extra money in, I sell a lot of things on EBay. Children's cloths sell very well on EBay. Especially if they come from a name brand. It also helps to clean out your closets to make a little money on the side. A lot of times I find that I have made more money by selling my gently used items on EBay than I would have in a yard sale.

I have a 12 month old daughter. I had to go back to work part time to bring in extra money. On my days off I work from my home computer to keep the money flowing. Also, I take all of her old clothes to a consignment shop to sell them. I then take the money I get there to go buy her new clothes. Another way to have some extra cash is to keep an eye on your credit card interest rate and insurance program to make sure you're not paying too much.
