What I do to make extra money for reducing my debt is work on Sundays as a carer. It involves driving around to various (mostly elderly) clients and helping them with whatever is needed, usually meds supervision, making a meal, making beds...often personal care. It is a job where you help someone live independently in their home for as long as possible. The rate is about £8 an hour + petrol allowance. That sort of work isn't for everyone, I work in an office all week and prefer that full-time, but if it is something that interests you, then it is a win-win way of making extra money.
The other idea is network marketing, but with those schemes you need to put in your own money plus sell to everybody you know to make money, so it may not be suitable for those in really tight budget circumstances. I am trying this as well, but I'm better at my other two jobs!!! One thats just started in the UK is VMDirect, they have a good product-video streaming email, and I'm told, good earnings potential. Now I should try and recruit you as my affilliate, but I think in here that would not be ethical (see I'm c**p at selling!) Good luck.Sally Jo
