The question everyone is asking...

Are there any real oppurtunities for normal people who work (or like me work and attend university!) to earn a few extra £'s?
Problem I have is I only have a wireless internet connection and use of a laptop so all the phone/sales etc which require you to take calls this way are of no use to me :(
I don't really fancy saucy chat-up lines either :rotfl:
I'm not really opposed to the survey sites but as times goes on, I'm getting nowhere fast :(
I'm a hard worker tho so anything else goes! :)

I realise we are in the middle of a global financial crisis so half the world is looking for oppurtunities like these but help much appreciated!

    Work out how many hours of your free study you don't need and try to fill in most of those hours with a part time job. Theres no quick, get rich method otherwise everyone would be rich. Only thing i can recommend i guess is reviews and freelance work.

    exactly, no get rich quick schemes are real, unless you are a real entrepreneur OR very lucky!

  • I do quite well from running my own websites. It has taken time and work to get going but I now earn enough to pay for Christmas, a holiday etc. Unfortunately like many of these things there are plenty of empty promises to be found on the net (for a fee of course!) that sucker people in.

    But if you stay grounded and committed and enjoy doing it then there is no reason anyone can't build up a site. The barrier to entry is low (nothing) but the hardest part is sustaining the effort.

    I would post some helpful links to a few well known sites but last time I did that the mods deleted them on the grounds of advertising. Soz.
