Hi guys I have recently been made redundent from my part time job.
I am a university student and would like to earn some extra money.
I have started on dooyoo writing some reviews and I think that it can be worth about £20 a week without too much effort.
I have registered with yougov but there isn't any questionaires on there for me at the moment.
Anyone got any suggestions I am free all the time until October at the moment and to be honest only need £100 a week to earn what I was working 13 hours at M&S.
I have also been thinking about car valeting I have more equipment than most valeters as I would class it as a hobby ( we are talking £1k plus of equipment and products)
Thanks
Aaron

Best way part time job, surveys tend to pay peanuts
Other way is matching betting see gambling forum0 -
If you,re fit you could make a fortune doing topless(if aaron is a guy,not topless obviously if a girl) car washing during the summer.Sexist but lucrative:o.

I would be careful about relying on Dooyoo as a regular source of income. £20 per week is a pretty unrealistic target. If you intend to write lots of minimum word reviews within a short space of time (known as churning) Dooyoo are likely to close or lock your account because of abuse and you won't receive any payment from them at all.
With Dooyoo you also need to spend time rating other people's reviews on there otherwise eventually your reviews will not be read by other members, making it more difficult for you to earn miles per review. Hopefully you will know all this already and will be rating other people's reviews and not churning, but I still think £20 per week is not realistic on Dooyoo alone, certainly without being an established member who can write concise reviews extremely well.0 -
Like Jenny mentioned their are loads of partyplan opportunities out there and if you are female you just need to find the right one for you...I do Partylite as I love candles so they were the right one for me. I love doing it which is always good in a job, you can do as much and as little as you want. If you want any more info just let me know0

Matched betting.
Made £25 today, and I'm quite slow at doing it tbh.
Open an HSBC bank account and get the £50 cashback (I assume you're under 23, which means HSBC don't require you to pay in a salary).0 -
Im male must just type like a girl............ lol
Might just look for a part time job
Thanks for the info0 -
Here's some ideas:
1) Pizza Hut delivery or Dominos pizzas - they are ALWAYS looking for new drivers (although usually will have to do weekend shifts)
2) Supermarkets - evenings and weekends
3) Pubs and clubs - behind bar.
Surveys, reviews, matched betting, ebay and everything else that people do on the "up your income board" won't pay the bills!
10 hours a week part-time work will give you 50-60 pounds.0 -
[COLOR="Magenta"Az what it is that you love doing most - not thinking of a job here just what are your interests? If you think along these lines then it may lead you to jobs/careers that you may really enjoy
Look at this as an opportunity to do something that you really want to do 
Good luck

I earned £5.92 an hour and worked 12 hours a week. Even at 10 hours a week that hourly wage would still satisfy your conditions.
So in 2 weeks I earned £142.08
I have earned £223.03 in my first 11 days of matched betting, not including cashback.
Yes it will eventually dry up, and no I haven't been keeping track of how many hours I've actually worked (although for the £25 I got yesterday it was definitely less than an hour's work), but when you start out it does beat minimum wage jobs - not to mention it's more FUN than a lot of minimum wage jobs.0 -
I wish I understood matched betting :-(0
