Some advice on uping my income please?

Hiya,

Me and my Fiance' have to move house, so we need to save up money for a new bond etc.

We both have jobs, but they only leave us around £150 spare each month, so I'm looking at other ways to up our incomes.

I've seen some posts here about doing surveys etc, but honestly I don't know where to start as I've never done anything like that before!

Can anyone offer me some advice on how to get started with this please?

Thanks. :)

  • Surveys do not pay a lot and take a lot of time. My sister does them and she does get maybe £20 a month, but if you work out how many hours she does, she is on a lot less than half min wage.

    Have you ever considered mystery shopping. You can get £10+ per visit. It is very good if you live in a city as there seems to be more jobs. It is all explain https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2600607

    Also selling old junk on ebay. You just need an ebay and paypal account.

    I think that is your best bet.
    Loads of info on this site about surveys if you decide to go with that.
