Nearly every morning, I get up early to go exercise at the local Crossfit gym<\/a>. While I wait for it to open at 6:30, I do laps around the cold, dark parking garage with my friend Dan. Sometimes we talk about money and how to make money.<\/p>\n

This morning, for example, Dan asked, “Do you ever feel like you’re not going to make it financially?”<\/p>\n

“I used to,” I said, “I worried about it all the time, but not anymore. I have things under control now. A lot of that is because I learned how to make more money.”<\/p>\n

“I wish I could say that,” he said. “I just feel like I’m never<\/i> going to make enough money.” Dan is a self-employed web designer in Portland, and like many entrepreneurs, his income fluctuates. Plus, he’s young, so his business hasn’t grown to its full potential.<\/p>\n

“You know what,” I said. “I’ve had a lot of people ask about how to make more money lately.<\/b> I think it’s time to write an article that rounds up everything I’ve ever written on the subject.”<\/p>\n

So, here you go. This post is a collection of the best tips from Get Rich Slowly (and other personal finance blogs) about boosting your income.<\/b> Almost anyone should be able to find some ideas here to make more money.<\/p>\n

Why bother making more money?<\/b><\/i>Frugality is an important part of personal finance. By managing your expectations and living with your means, you’re more likely to be wealthier and<\/i> happier. But cutting costs isn’t the only way to boost your cash flow. If your goal is to build wealth, you’ll get the best results by looking beyond frugality to increase your income.<\/b><\/p>\n

Why? Well, for one thing, you can only cut your costs so far. After you’ve cut to the bone, there’s nothing left to trim. On the other hand, your income potential is unlimited \u2014 at least in theory<\/i>. Unfortunately, it can be tough to generalize about ways to make more money.<\/p>\n

For most folks, earning more means managing a career effectively: finding the right job, learning how to ask for a raise, and so on. Others can up their incomes by selling stuff they already own, pursuing money-making hobbies, or starting their own businesses. In this article, I’ve tried to cover all the bases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span>Maximize Your Salary<\/span><\/h2>\n

When you think of making more money, you probably think about doing something \u2014 anything! \u2014 other than your day job. But for most folks, the day job is actually the best place to explore increased earning opportunities<\/b>.<\/p>\n

For one thing, changes you make to your salary today have residual benefits. You’re not just making more money now \u2014 you’re making more money for years to come. That’s<\/i> why it’s so important to get paid your worth from the start. Giving up $5,000 a year now is actually giving up $5,000 a year for the rest of your life!<\/p>\n
