how can i earn extra money?

hi all.

i am a full time student at uni (3 full days a week) and i have a supermarket job for 5+ 1/2 hours on a sunday. i have a one year ols son and my partner is possibly being made redundant next week!! i am looking for any flexible ways of earning any extra cash, that wont require me to find (and pay for) child care.

i was wondering if anyone knows of any good jobs that you can either do part time from home or possibly something like a cataloge delivery job??? i have tried to do a bit of research into these but theres nothing like hearing from people rather than web sites.

any ideas???

thanks x

  • party plan would be ideal for you - there are various ones on here with their own thread.

    go and read through them and find out what products would work you.

    I do party plan as a second job and love it.

    What about something like Avon? You would be able to take your son along with you, and if you went to playgroups etc you would be able to get extra orders from there, along with ones from friends/family/work + your terrority.

    Ideal candidate for mystery shopping? It's flexible hours and you need to only look out for jobs that are ideal for you and if it is, just pick it up.

    Although a lot will require you to leave your house, you can just keep an eye out for food delivery shops or supermarket shops.

    I recommend GapBuster and Frontline Focus for food delivery shops.

    There is always doing survey sites as well, ,it won't really give you a lot of money, a lot of the sites will only give vouchers - but every little helps! I do: toluna, lightspeed and yougov but there are lots of others too.

  • Have a look at this article. If you don't match the criteria in this article you may be entitled to money elsewhere which is also mentioned.

    This one might help too.

    Have you considered a Student Account?

    Every little helps so they say.

    Good luck
  • Do your research before signing up to any site were they declare you supposedly get paid for using their service.

    You have to pay neobux before they pay out apparently so make sure you do your research first before signing up to anything like this.

    hi, not sure if youd be intrested but i've just started with a company called tish tash toys, to be honest i havent sold anything yet but i havent tried yet, it all looks good tho and you can make ok money.
    the job is selling toys on a comision basis so its perfect if you have a child because you can take them with you while doing toy parties or handing out leaflets. if you want any more info pm me or look on there website, google tish tash toys
  • Many ways are there if you have the mind.
