    have a look at the £10 a day challenge on dfw forum. i am doing it and £10 a day seems quite achievable from ebay/amazon sales, mystery shopping, cashback websites etc.

    i am sure you could try for £16.66 a day which should cover your £500!

    better than working for a living!!

    Hi guys,

    Im currently in a full time job working 8am-6pm. Im also studying an open uni course in web design and development.

    Im looking into trying to earn an extra £500 per month, do you think its possible or am I being unrealistic? If so, what do you think are my best options?

    Im looking to earn as close to £500 extra as possible.

    Thanks

    Are you wanting to earn that much extra permanently, or just for a specific timeframe?

    I used to earn over £400/month working Saturday mornings and Sundays in the local supermarket...would be great for the short term, but not having a day off would be horrid if you were doing it permanently.
  • try looking at the gambling loopholes thread, Matched betting could earn you quite a lot in a month.( its not just betting and hoping you win read the threads before saying gamblings for mugs!)
    November £10 a day challenge. Im starting early- 66p so far!
  • As already suggested why not try party plan - I done this as an extra to make ends meet and really enjoying it - there is a thread on here called party plan and there are lots of different companies, so pick the one which would suit your lifestyle and go earn some money - you don't need to party to earn as you can get book orders and do xmas fairs or fundraisers - so as well as earning money you are helping good causes.
    Please feel free to pm me about my party plan.
    I get paid to party!:rotfl:
  • what about betterware or kleeneze,
  • I was generally hoping to do something from home but im open to suggestions.

    Can matched betting really earn you that much money?
    :beer:
  • Look in 'a saucy new job' thread, you can make 500/pcm easy

    I have seen some jobs going with the open university, working from home. If you have a degree you can tutor in that subject. All you need to do is be available for a certain amount of time on the phone/net. This ranges from 3 hrs a week to as many as you want. Depending on the course, 3 hrs a week can earn you about £400. Good money and you can do as much as you want.

    YUP! :j I average over £500 a month which compared with some of the others who post on the forum is nothing! The legend that is "Donglemouse" has raked up over £40k in 3 years! - he has a diary over of the forum which plots his progress from day 1! Definitely worth a look - and remember if it wasn't risk free (if administrated properly) then it wouldn't be allowed on the site :money: Also worth noting is that gambling profits are tax free!
