I was at Sekinchan and Kuala Selangor over the last holiday and notice tremendous business opportunity there.

I saw a lot of people from city visiting this kampung area for sight seeing, enjoying the food, buying fresh seafood and fruits also visit the local attraction such as firefly and eagle watching.

So where is your home town ?  Is there something that you home town can offer to city folks ?

Simple things such as waterfall, orchard farm, rubber tapping, traditional food etc etc can be an attraction.

You may say you do not have any orchard or good cook nor there is any water near your kampung, what if your neighbour ? They may have something to offer ? Why not leverage on what they have and offer it to your friends or officemate in the city ?  At the same time, you got a chance to go back to home town yet making some money out of it.

Now start looking at what you have in your home town, any specialty such as nature attraction ? historical attraction, traditional food ? etc etc. If you have more to offer, then look for a potential homestay package, it is not necessary to be a beautiful house as long as it is clean and safe. You might not have one but your neighbour  might be interested to offer.

For example,

8am Depart to Kampung from KL

10am Reach Kampung – proceed to orchard for food harvesting

12pm Traditional Lunch at Makcik house

2pm Visit near by waterfall, birdwatching and butterfly hunting

5pm Shopping at local market

6pm Traditional Dinner at Makcik house

8pm Back to KL

Even you do not have anything to offer, you still can make money by leveraging what others have to offer.

I like cars especially four wheel drive, I know most of the four wheel drive in Malaysia and I do keep a close eye on the current price of each model.

Yesterday was an excellent day, I spotted an advertisement for one of my favorite 4×4 selling at a huge discount, almost RM10,000.00 cheaper then the market price.  I was very excited and quickly call the owner for a viewing appointment, due to my earlier commitment, I can only go with my mechanic at 3.30pm.

While waiting for the appointment, I was very excited about the opportunity making about RM5,000.00 to RM6,000.00 in a short period of time doing nothing – just resell the car.

BUT… too bad.

At 2.30pm the car owner called and telling me that the car has been sold… oh my god.. what a disappointment but I cannot blame the car owner as the understanding is whoever pay him first will get the car.

Errrh……my fault, I should not miss such a good opportunity.. this kind of deal hardly come by and I should put it in top priority.. I learn a lesson and I will not let it happened again in the future.

So for those car lovers visiting this blog, there are a lot of opportunities to make extra money out there.  You might say you do not have money, but why are you worry so much about money, if you have a good deal, you should be able to find someone to work together with you. 

If you don’t have a partner, leave a message here, I will find a financial partner for you. We work together to make extra money..

A friend was asking me what she can do to make extra money, I pause for a while and thinking most of us living in the city area like Klang Valley, Penang, Johor Bahru, Ipoh, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching wanted to making extra money as living cost is getting higher.

You salary might not be able to cover your living expenses, you may end up working part time such as directly selling, insurance, chef, retail assistance or even waiter or waitress during off office hour and during weekends.

The above scenario also provide a lot of companies coming up with some “home based” data entry job, it sounds a perfect job where you can make a couple of hundred dollars a month working from home.

The trap is you need to pay a registration fees before you can get the job, PLEASE AVOID those job, it is a scam. Once you pay your registration fees and hoping that the job is coming, don’t dream about it, your money is gone forever.

Now come back to my friend’s question, what can she do to make extra money in Malaysia ?  I believe everyone born with a speciality, be it cooking, arts, analytic skill, selling skill and etc

The first thing you need to do is understand your current situation.  How is your current working schedule ?  What are the times that you are available for the new task ? 

For example, you may work 9am to 6pm, 6 days a week. So you are only available form 8pm to 11pm Monday to Saturday and whole day on Sunday.Once you find out your available time, you will have to move on to what are your skills. I have heard many saying that they do not have any skill. Please take some time to think about it, it need not be a perfect skill, as long as you think you can do it will do.

Get a piece of paper and write down what do you thing you are good at. For example, cooking, singing, writing, teaching, maths, art, relationship with kids, designing, sewing, sport, home DIY, car repair, gardening etc.

Make sure you have 10 of those skills before you stop, as I said, it does not need to be excellent skill, as long as you feel you can do it, just write it down.

Once you have the available time and type of skill that you may have, then you need to narrow it down to 2 things that you can do during your free time to make extra money. So from 10 to 2 is not so difficult isn’t it ?

If you cannot get the above task done, then I am sorry, you are not going anyway. Money will not fall from sky, if you are not going to put in effort, money will not coming to you.

If you don’t even understand you current situation, you are not going to move to next step. Get a piece of paper, write down what is your available free time and 10 skills that you may have, then narrow it down to 2 most potential one according to your available free time.

One more note I want to emphasis here

If you are not giving yourself a credit, No body will ?

From the previous posting about making extra money in a week time, we talk about selling your used items to get extra cash quickly.  One way of doing it is selling to shops that buy used item such as Cash Converter Malaysia. Today we are going to talk about selling it via Internet.

There are several classified portals in Malaysia where you can put up your used item for sale or auction for free.

mudahThe notable one is Mudah, the website is Mudah It offers free service to the personal posting. No registration required, all you need is having a valid email to validate your posting.

 

 

Another website worth mention is Lelong Malaysia popular auction site.  The website is lelong

Selling it online can reach out to the customer directly and the price will definitely be higher than selling to shops like Cash Converter Malaysia. But there are a few items need to pay attention when selling used item online in Malaysia.

First, you need to take photo of the item you are selling, more photos will attract the more buyers’ interest and reduce your time to explain the detail of the items for sale. Please provide as detail information as possible such as the colour, material, size and condition on top of the photo.  The quality need not be very good unless it is an expensive item. In most cases, your camera phone will do the job.

Please also state clearly the delivery method of the item. If it is a location near you, you may consider deliver directly to the customer, or arrange the customer to pick up at an agreed location.  Please choose location with a lot of crowd such as shopping mall, fast food or petrol station for security reason.

For outstation delivery, you might want to use Pos Laju and please do state either you or the buyer to pay for the delivery charges in your posting.

For payment, if you are meeting the buyer directly, cash on delivery is the best option.  For outstation, you need to consider using direct bank transfer such as Maybank2U, Public Bank transfer etc. Please do not send you items before you receive the payment, like wise, please delivery the item once you receive the money.

Please keep all your promises and make use you put accurate information on the item you want to sell, failing to do that, you may find your name circulated in the Internet for being a bad seller or liar.

If you have any others idea that you would like to share with others, please leave a comment.

Cash Converter SunwayThe procedure of selling used item in Cash Converter in Malaysia is very simple, all you need to do is bring your items to the shop buying department, take a number and wait for your queue to be served.  Once your number being calls, bring it to the counter and show it to the counter staff.  If the item is huge, you may just leave it in your car.

I will advise you call the branch near you to find out if they are interested to buy what you had.  If they are overstock, then I am afraid they will to buy your stuff. 

Once they check your stuff and they will offer you a price, if the price is right, all you need to do is fill up your detail personal information, collect your money and that is.

I have seen some other shop around but I do not have detail information about them, please leave the information HERE if you know any other places to sell our old junk.

Everyone need extra money from time to time, be it paying your bills, credit card, housing loan, car loan, children expenses etc.

What can we do in a week to make extra money ?

1)     Sell off items that you do not use.  I am sure you have a lot of stuffs hidden in the drawer that you hardly use since you bought it. Take it out and have a quick check, if you do not really need the items in a very near term, sell it off.  You may sell it to your local shop that buys used item or you can sell it online via free local classified website.  Selling it the used item shop will be fast but the price will be lower as company to selling it yourself via free online classified.  Depending on your situation, the most important is selling the item fast and get the money.

2)     Work Part Time. Looking for a part time job that pays daily or weekly. If you are working day time and only able to work at night or weekend, I will strongly suggest you check out the local hotel if they have any banquet function.  Banquet function usually hosted at night or weekend. Furthermore you don’t need any special skill to be a banquet helper.

Other than that, please check out the local retail store, restaurant, food court, coffee shop for part time vacancy.

 3)     Part Time Business.  Some time you don’t need money to start a business. For example, you may approach car owner in your neighbourhood to offer car wash service. Charge an amount that cheaper than the car washer but use their car shampoo and vacuum cleaner. Given a choice, I would rather have someone washing my car when I can relax at home rather than waiting at the car wash station. If you can wash 2 cars a night, I am pretty you can make some good money in a week.  Furthermore, what kind of skill do you need to wash a car ? The best part is you get cash right after the job.

 Gardening is also good for making quick money in a week.  Just approach your neighbour for garden maintenance and get paid once the job done. 

4)     Street Performance – Do you have the skill such as singing, music instrument, dancing, story telling, joke telling ?  Head to the street and perform to the public and I am pretty sure the some public will reward you with some small change.  My motto is “ if you don’t try, you will never know the result “. Remember you need some money to settle your problem in a week, what have you got to lose if there is no result ? Nothing at all.

The above are the simple and common ways to make quick money in a week, if you have any other idea, please leave a comment HERE to share with others.

Please take note that the following money making method highly depending on your age, background and environment. To make more money, you may need to have different combinations at different stage to achieve your goal – Rich.

For example, you invest your money in real estate, collect monthly rental from the said property or you invest your money in the stock market and receive dividend annually. In summary, you get your money to make more money for you.

Speculation is short term and depends on supply and demands.
