I need extra income!!!

Hi all! This will be my very first post and I feel that you will all be able to offer me good advice.

I'm a family man and looking to boost my income to make our lives more bearable as we live on a very basic income.

PLEASE HELP!!

I dont mind what the jobs entail but my current job is in sales and thats in my blood but i dont mind doing anything to bring in extra income to support my young family.

    Are you any good with computers? Starting an eBay business is always a good one, buying bits that you know about from charity shops and car boots and auctions etc, then selling them on eBay for a profit. Obviously you have to know what's cheap and what isn't when you buy otherwise it won't sell for a profit.

    You could also look at Kleeneze or another similar MLM business. Don't believe the countless people around you that WILL tell you it's a scam and a 'dodgy' pyramid scheme, cos it's not. Also don't believe the person that you sign up under who WILL tell you it's easy to make lots of money, it's not. It takes hard work and some long hours, but if you're into sales you're halfway there already - just need to be willing to do a lot of walking!!

    I agree - An eBay business probably could be a good idea... It's just hitting upon that niche product to sell - Just got to try and find something and few/no others are selling on eBay.

    I love boot sales for myself but if I ever thought I spotted a real bargain I would buy it and put it on ebay, always made a profit, sometimes only a very small one but still a profit nonetheless!
