Additional income ideas

gandalftheking

Hello All

I have recently reverted from a well paid sales job to an education-based job (less money - more job satisfaction). I have been looking into ways to supplement my income, but all of the opportunities seem to involve selling to your friends & family etc some kind of product ('Forever Living' etc etc).

Does anyone know of other genuine opportunities which do not need an up-front investment? I'm only trying to generate an additional £200-£300 p.m. I tend to spend a fair amount of time sat at my PC, so something "online"-based may be good. Any ideas/experiences welcomed.

Thanks.

Education - have you thought about tutoring. Also a lot of teachers mark exam papers.

Matched betting, definitely. Knock three times on the Gambling board and tell Innovate I sent you...

(Seriously, 200-300pm is easily achievable and it is risk free - this is NOT gambling, it is using a mathematical trick to extract money from bookmaker signon bonuses).

Ebay seems popular to suplement your income, some people even make it into a full-time job.

Clear out the loft and gett rid of those unwanted christmas presents, that reminds me does anyone want amanle piece for a fireplace ! :-)

You will have to get used to packing lots of parcels, Bublle wrap, and jiffy bags !!

Although there is usually a limited amount of stuff 'in the loft' so its not really a perpetual income.....

Id agree matched betting and perhaps casino bagging is easy enough money to come by if your good with numbers and have the time at the pc. You do need a bit of upfront stump cash to get going though and not be adverse to the odd risk.....

Gambling, doesn't sound very "money-saving" to me !!

Sorry, too risky for me, also I don't have that much "spare" money to "waste".

hmm, think i agree. i'll have a look anyway. ive got a 270 transactions (100% by the way ) record with ebay, so the loft is bled dry!

thanks for this, ahem, obvious one - but i hadnt considered it honestly! im going to see my local college re nvq assessment, and tutoring on part-time courses - so if theyre evenings/weekends i'll be fine.

thanks everyone so far, but is there anything else apart from ebay and matched betting that money savers have experience of?

Ironing service, oven cleaning service, garden maintenance service, odd-job person for older people (get on local Age Concern and Help the Aged approved list), ebay agent if you have a weatherproof garage, baby-sitting, local tutoring, refereeing, car cleaning/valeting, supermarket evenings/weekends. All of these can be done outside working hours or during weekends.

Thankyou. More food for thought... (I even buy "Iron Free" shirts, so ironing is probably out of the question!!! )
