Investing
Investing is always an option to add money to your income or grow your finances; however, it is not a simple "game" to play, and like investing in a business there are possible large losses. However, there are stock brokers and investment clubs to help with investments. To dabble on your own, perhaps a hundred to two dollars in some low cost stock to learn the ropes. Be sure to check the fees, some companies get you coming and going pretty hard.
There are many types of investing, from stocks and bonds, to real estate, and angel investing for real estate or business ventures. And now people are investing online via investment groups or web platforms that allow angel type group investing.
Also if people start when they are younger, there are life insurance policies and annuities that can help with retirement income planning.

MLMs. Some people love'm and some people not so much. The people that love MLMs are often the kind of people that really enjoy other people and tinkering with "stuff". So before you get negative, keep in mind the "Different Strokes" rule, and that people don't need advice, they are grown adults, and you just never know what will work for someone else. MLMs can be such fun, but they do often require a large base of acquaintances. Some people are now using social media to reach beyond their own circle of friends. Another way is to write a "How-to" article about your product. There are some examples included below of social media and how-to articles.
