How could I make £9500??? Any ideas??

Hi all,

Im just brainstorming ideas on how I can create this amount to pay off my unsecured debt before my wife and I have our first child. I much rather spend my wages on my son/daughter rather than debt.

I work full time but I am very good on the internet in my spare time if this helps with ideas.. Also I have an Ebay account if any ideas circulate around that.

Any sensible suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks in advance

    Well, you could start by ebaying every piece of junk in your house, garage, garden - always worth a go. A second job is good (evening cleaning or a couple of shifts in a pub perhaps?).
    Take in foreign students - coming up to a good time for that if you have a spare room - just contact your nearest school of English . Or rent a room out on a longer basis - income from this is tax free.
    The internet is a bit of a dream income - never quite what is promised. You could have a website - but you'd need a product to sell - and visitors to your site - not as easy as you'd think.
    As someone else has said read through the £100 to £10,000 threads - might take some time but can be useful. People on there are doing bingo and matched betting - okay if you are strong willed and not likely to get addicted!
    Look at your loan debts as well - using the info on this site - can you change to a much lower interest rate, but carry on paying the same amount by shortening the term? Are you getting all your working tax credits/benefits? You can quickly check this out on entitledto.com
    May help.
