What can I do next?!

So I regularly sell bits and bobs on Ebay. Make a few quid here and there from it, I find their fees and paypals fees eats most of your profit. Ebay fees in particular are high.
I am on Quidco and TopCashBack, have £18 and £12 on there, although that seems to take months because none of the money is ready for me to have yet!
I do a couple of car boots a year in the summer, I find the summer outdoor ones the best, people seem to be in the mood to buy more. Make £80-£120 at each one.
I have sold all my old and broken gold to 'We Buy Old Gold', made some good money from that and should have some referral money coming my way mid month.
I have also sold all my old phones to envirfone.

What else can I do??????

I don't want to do Body Shop at Home or anything like that. I have done jewellery parties in the past and unless you know loads of people the outlay and time involved never makes you much cash.
I also cant really do mystery shopper. And daily clicks is pence, and im not really supposed to do stuff like that at work.

Is there anything else I can do or have I exhausted all my extra money making schemes?

At least I make my boyf laugh with all these things :rotfl:

Have you tried slice the pie, getting paid for listening to music?

Or how about online surveys, we make about £10-£18 a day doing these.

I find that most of the surveys I start off, answer about 4/5 questions, then get a screen saying (a) I don't fit the profile they're looking for, (b) they have all the answers they need already for my category or profile, or (c) I don't get as far as the questions, and get a screen saying the survey's closed already. Very frustrating.

I signed up for loads; toluna, valued opinions, global test market, etc. but only seem to have made pennies...... and certainly nowhere near £10 per day....

What's the secret?

surveys - i like lightspeed and valued opinions. sometimes you have to be quick off the mark and you will make more if you sign your OH up to them too.

ebay - re. fees. you can minimise the fees etc you pay if you are canny about how you sell. 99p listings are free - but of course you can't avoid the final value fees. try and sell a similar group of items each time eg. all similar clothes or books etc etc. not only does each item advertise all the others, but if you offer to reduce postage on multiple purchases then people may buy more, for which you can group into one paypal payment and therefore reduce those fees. offer to accept payment via cheques/p.orders too to reduce all paypal fees. also, source your packing materials as cheaply as poss to reduce costs.

quidco - i only use this. use for anything you buy. look for bingo etc sites to make money, plus at the moment i have had quite a bit of cashback from mags eg. autoexpress plus the 3 copies for £1/£3 with £5 cashback too. just be sure to cancel the d/debits in enough time. dvd rentals too.

Tell me if I'm missing something, but - DooYoo has many domestic appliances and consumer electronics items listed, and we're encouraged to review these. Now, I'm quite an electronics hog, I've got 4 or 5 DVD recorders, 3 TVs, a couple of video recorders, etc. Even if I review all of these, that'll barely earn £10 or so.

I can request other items be added to their inventory, but there's limits on the number of electronics items one person can own and review, surely?

I was going to review the music records section, but every CD I click on redirects me to Amazon!

Yeah you can request new items to be added. There is also sections like TV Programs, Food, Drink, Films, Places etc so theres loads to review! Just read the other reviews to get an idea!

Yeah, but what's the deal with Music - there doesn't seem to be any way of adding a CD review when all the site does is redirect to Amazon....

ebay are very expensive. I used to be a powerseller but their fees were hiked and it became unprofitable.

Good luck making your millions
