We all know that the internet, if used correctly can be a viable second income.  What most of us don’t consider is that it can be a great second income even if the site that you have up is only for family and friends. You can make a few dollars at the same time that you offer them a viable service that will prevent them from having to search endlessly for products that they like.

One idea that we had that seems to be  workable for nearly everyone is to set up a site for family and friends that they can use to purchase online items that you know they need or like.

A few things along a sidebar, such as baby items or baby gifts for the family who has a member with a new infant will help your family and friends to send a baby gift and net you a few dollars too.


If you’re all into the environmental way of life, and today who isn’t, then you might set up an affiliate link to the natural products that you all use and love. Those are sometimes hard to find when searching online.

What we’ve done in the past that encourages family and friends to use our site is to save money for a plane ticket for a family member, or to save money for a reunion dinner. We set up the affiliates in a special email account. All the purchases from these affiliates go to save for everyone to have a family dinner together, an outing at the park, or a plane ticket to bring a favorite family member for a visit.


Sites such as these can be used by cousins, aunts, uncles, friends, pretty much anyone at all who is bound by the common cause of wanting to have a joint get together. Spread the word in email that you’re saving for a special cause and point them to the link where they can buy products that they like and use anyway, and the family will make money for your reunion.

There are some great ways to save money for special reasons or just to make a few dollars if you use your small site or your family website creatively.
