Cleaning attics and garages can be a good gig if you have access to a pickup to haul the junk away. They key is one man's junk is another's priceless heirlooms. Old coffee tables and such can be resold for good money. Pictures too. Most people don't realize in most cases the money is in the frame and not the painting.
Yeah, gotta have that truck. Most cases you do have to have a truck to do any actual labor.
He's right though, sometimes you can get a little money cleaning out the garage or attic, but most of the money is actually in re-selling the good found therein.
Also junk haul-off is another one that is a good consistent money maker. Going to peoples houses that look really junked up and ask if you could help them clean up their property. Most of the time, in these cases you can make some money on hauling off metal to the shop.
Collecting metals - copper, aluminum and so forth can also make a little extra money. Your whole family can pitch in to collect soda cans.
Something else that makes a little money, but you have to be really good at it is extreme couponing... getting like 50 sunday papers, clipping the coupons out and getting a bunch of free stuff and sometimes you can even find items that pay you to buy. lol. I'd reserve this if you had a lot of time on your hands.
