Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a bit of extra income (ideally £100 a week but happy to start at less). I've had no luck with surveys or pay per click and am ideally looking for a computer based job that I can do flexibly in the evening to earn a bit of extra money. I'm generally a good all rounder but I don't hold a degree.

Any suggestions would be greatly appeciated :D

Thank you :beer:

    I registered with Odesk https://www.odesk.com/login.php on Sunday and have my first job doing Data Entry. You do have to bid on jobs though.

    Thank you. I've done this previously with Elance but found I was always outbid by individuals in countries such as India and China who were will to work for pennies :eek:. Is this the case on odesk too? If you dont mind me asking, how much did you bid for your data entry job? :j

    Yes I would be interested to know too. I am registered with peopleperhour, but I just always seem to be outbid by people willing to work for nothing.

    It is the same with Odesk and it is more like $1 per hour than $8 per hour but i have noticed there is a feedback thing here so i'm hoping that the more feedback you get the higher you can charge if that makes sense. You can also set you required amount per hour in your profile.

    Betterware is a good second income and no costs at all :)
    Jenny :)
    Everything happens for a reason :)

    Thanks all, I have done my first bid on peopleperhour and ODesk. Still nothing as yet though!

    JennyJewell- thanks for the idea about betterware but I'm not good at selling to friends or otherwise- I find it a bit awkward, thank you for the suggestion though.
