According to ABCNews.com, credit card debt in America reached $963 billion in January 2009. The convenience of credit, plus enticing low interest rates and low monthly payments, makes it easy to fall into the credit trap. The Center for American Progress website reports that Americans held $946.1 billion in credit card debt as of November 2008. With hard work and effort, it's possible to get cash for credit problems.

Sell Used Items

The Internet is about more than playing games and finding information. With websites such as eBay and Amazon you can sell your used items online. Make money by selling used CDs, books, games, clothes and more. You can set your own prices and sell as much and as often as you want. You can also make money selling used items locally. Craigslist is a popular classified ads website. You can list various new or used items to sell in your city. Yard sales and consignment shops provide a way to make money locally as well.

Offer Services Online

Do you have an in-demand skill? If you're a good writer, consider providing website copy or online sales letters. Website builders are needed to design websites. Computer programmers often create software for small business owners and entrepreneurs. Create your own website and use it to promote your services.

Perform Odd Jobs

Manual labor is another way to earn extra cash. Washing cars, cleaning windows, mowing the lawn or babysitting can provide much needed cash. You won't get rich, but any extra money you make will help with your debt problem.

Get an Extra Job

Part-time work provides extra income. If you don't want a long term commitment, sign with a temporary employment agency. Temp agencies send workers on temporary assignments. You can specify if you want long term or short term assignments. The assignments can last from anywhere from one day to a few years.
