How can I get more income!!!!!!

Options
Hiya, I a married mum of 2 (ages 2 and 5). My husband works full time and I work part time (Around school times). I am wanting to up my income if at all possible but I am struggling to be able to as I don't really have alot of free time!!!!!!!
Monday and wednesday are mine and my husbands ONLY nites together!!!!!
Tuesday and Thursday hubby is at rugby training
Friday hubby is either at Leeds Rhinos watching or cooking for the players!!!!
Saturday is taken up by hubby playing rugby
Sunday hubby normally is working in his friends pub cheffing!!!!!

I don't really like asking family to look after the kids as they do enough of that already cos we can't afford to put them into childcare full time. My dad has just come out of hospital after 13 weeks after a very bad head injury and I just want to help my mum and dad with things at the moment as they have do so much for us in the last few years.


Hope someone out there can give me some ideas???

Thank you

    You could do some form of direct selling, but I do find that you need some spare time to do this - which you are a bit short of.

    Some involve parties and events (such as the one I'm in), but there are others where you are effectively given a round and drop off and pick up books when you have time.

    A lot of them also have some form of initial start-up fee, but they can prove to be quite successful. Especially if you pick a product that you love and believe in. I've done Avon before and I did enjoy it and like their products, but I got fed-up wandering the streets every week or so and found it very time intensive. The party-plan one I'm involved with now means I can run parties from home or go out to planned events and fit it around mine and my family needs. (I have a 2 yr old and 6 yr old) and because of the reasonable price point I can earn a decent living too.

    Worth a thought though...

    A very good guide for daily clicks is kates site

    http://www.click-your-way2cash.co.uk/

    I'm happy to answer any questions in the forum.

    I have a routine, probably an hour a day and earn a good £10 a day from daily and free clicks, and do know good sites to get started on.
    I would suggest starting with the better sites Fatcheese, GetPoundsBack, TopCashBack...these are sites where the money really adds up quickly.
    If anyone is interested in joining the sites, there are threads in the referral forum with referrals for all these sites!

    Also as Kates site isn't completely uptodate, I would avoid the following sites at the moment
    Greasy Palm
    WepromiseTo
    CashinCo
    SMSInn
  • second to avoiding greasyplam and wepromise 2

    my current favs are topcashback and fatcheese. i also like quidco but they need to scrap the fiver charge a year in my opinion to remain competitive.

  • How about commission based promotion type stuff on the web?

    Places like mariposa-angels do that type of thing. It wont be a massive amount of money but i am sure a few extra pound a month.
