 is easier said than done, but it’s the best way to put a dent in your student loans. Here are some ways to make more money:

If you’re currently employed, try to negotiate a larger salary or promotion. Can you take on more responsibilities at your job to earn more?

Pursue opportunities for overtime or extra shifts.

Apply for jobs with higher paying salaries.

You can start your own side business based on your interests.

Get a part-time job. If possible, opt for one near your home or work so it doesn’t become a huge hassle.

Tap into the sharing economy: Try driving for Uber or Lyft, renting out your apartment on Airbnb when you’re away for the weekend, or pet sitting and dog walking with a service like Rover.

Sell your unwanted belongings at second-hand or consignment shops, online, or at a yard sale.

Offer your services: Do you play a musical instrument? Start giving lessons. Know a subject inside and out? Let people know you’re available as a tutor.
