I need to make around £50 extra per week and wondering the quickest way of doing so?

I already do surveys (far too much time for so little in return). I pick up promo, modelling, acting, and extras work when i can - these are the best jobs as i've made enough money to last a month in just a few days, but the good jobs of course only come along once in a while:p

I was already accepted for Butler Hill, now waiting for the work to actually start *rolls eyes*, likewise with the Quext service.

I do a couple of hours freelance telesales here and there @ £10 per hour, but this involves travelling to an office and spending on petrol (yes i can and have done it from home too but tbh i'm sick of sales).


Can anyone else recommend anything, or have i exhausted the list?:rotfl:

    Sounds like you've got a few ideas already. :)

    I used to pick up around an £100 extra a week doing telesales in addition to my regular day job. This was many years ago, so the going rate would have improved. It was only 3 hours a night.

    I sometimes used to do a bit of promotional work, at weekends too, which used to net me around £140 a day for standing around grinning like an idiot, just to make a sale.
  • Risk free betting !

    Read up on the gambling introductory offers forum.

    Use your debit card, not a credit card and within a week you should of made £60 profit from a start up kitty of £250. money goes back to your card very quickly.

    Its quite easy to make around £1000 depending how much time you have and are comfortable about opening lots of accounts with online bookmakers.

    In a nutshell you place a bet with a bookie who offers a free matched bet to new customers, so you could bet £50 knowing that when settled the bookie gives you a free £50 bet. you lay both the initial and free bet on betfair(a site where punters bet and lay bets for a small commission 5%).
    From this free £50 you should make at least £35 plus £25 from betfair if you are referred by exsisting member.

    Myself or many others on the forums can refer you.

    if you want to do this BE CAREFUL, DOUBLE CHECK ALL BETS BEFORE BETTING.
    i use the online calculator at freebets4all as they work out the odds and you just fill the boxes in
  • The matched betting is far too complicated for me. Just reading your above post made me dizzy :rotfl:

  • Could you get a second job where you work casually or in a relieving role for a day or two a week? Sometimes easy to find if you just call businesses up and ask them since they can find it hard to get people to work such minimal hours ...
