Of course this is no easy task. Most moonlighting can be in many forms, most of them are.. - selling items at auction sites - freelance jobs making websites and softwares - taking pictures and selling them online - write a blog, generate traffic. or write a book and have it published - bake pastries and sell at tiyange or fairs - setup a garage sale - buy old items and resell them at higher price These are just a few examples of what kind of moonlighting you can do.
