How to Make Extra Money On Active Duty
The U.S. Military provides a variety of pay and benefits for all members of the armed forces and their families
but it sometimes does not cut it for many young junior enlisted members giving them one of two options, the
first is to go deeper into debt by getting some sort of
unsecured loan or getting a second job to help pay all
of those bills because lets face it BAH does not cover all of the expenses for most of the military families that
live off post. I do not recommend that you get a loan because that will be no more than a temporary fix to
serious problem. I do recommend a second job to help get you back on track with your finances.

You should talk to your supervisor before you even start looking for a job as there are different policies for
each branch of the military that provide guidance and set limits for off duty employment such as the amount
of hours that you can work and start times that won't interfere with your military duties. Do not make things
worst for you by not informing your Chain of Command, be honest with them and talk to them about your
issues.

The following are some ways to earn extra money while on active military duty:

Delivering Pizza is always a popular and easy way to make extra cash even while stationed overseas, you
just have to look for one of the many Pizza shops close to post and ask. The Pizza shops like to hire people
with some sort of military ID as this makes it easier for their deliveries to get on post.

Convenience stores Provide many opportunities for part-time and seasonal work. Flexible hours and fixed
pay make working in a convenience store or gas station a great source of additional income.

Starting a BLOG on the Internet to make money from advertisements is a cheap and easy way to make
extra money while on active duty. You can easily sign up for a free blog spot account and let your fingers do
the talking for you. Pick good topics and network with other bloggers to get visitors to view your blog then
open a google adsense account and watch your earning grow. You should know that writing a blog is not a
one time deal and you must write a number of blogs in order to create a good following and keep visitors
coming back to read more of what you post, in other words you will get out what you put in.

Building a Website to make money from advertisements and sponsors can also be a great source of extra
cash as you will work your own hours and set goals to meet your needs. Building a good website can be
easy even for someone with limited computer knowledge. In order to be successful you must create a
website that provides a service or information that both people and search engines like Google and Yahoo
will want to read,  I also recommend that your website be related to something that you already know how to
do are at least already familiar with. Remember not to use material that is copy right because you can get
sued or be asked to remove the content from your website. This can provide a good source of income for a
long period of time, I have web pages that I created over 4 years ago that are still making money for me on a
daily basis.

What ever way you choose to earn those much needed funds please do it the legal way, I see too many
Military men and women get in trouble while looking for an easy way out of a financial battle. Talk to your
Chain of Command and get help from AER if you have to.
