Best way to make an extra £50 per week?

Sammyantha

Thanks guys, keep the ideas coming

I already have a full time day job, a part time freelance sales job, and occasional promo, modelling, and extras work (i have all the survey sites etc too).. so i am ONLY looking for work which is easy and pays a lot. By a lot I mean £20 per hour+:rotfl:

On a nice side note, i just made over £100 on ebay :T

Have you looked on the sureboom forum, they have a company called CRM that take on a lot and its ringing patients and confirming appointments, only £6 an hour but at home.

Heres the link for the old closed down saucy thread with all camming and chat line info...prepare for square eyes though, massive :eek:

Cheers claribel, I've been reading through it bit by bit over the last few months

1. Ebay is the obvious short-term suggestion. Hit boot sales and charity shops once a week. Invest £10, aim to make £50 profit (after all your fees and P&P).

2. For a longer-term idea, have a look at the freelance sites like Elance and Odesk. There is a demand for plenty of services. Go through all the categories, consider what you can do already (or easily learn) and that set yourself up a free blogger blog advertising yourself. Then start bidding on the jobs. You might have to start with low bids but once you get some good reviews, you can increase your price. Don't forget to quote your good reviews on your blogger site!

Good luck!

What are the mystery shopping sites?

I'm not sure if the whole adult thing works or not so I can't comment but I made £70 on eBay last week just by selling stuff round the house that I hadn't seen for ages so it is worth rummeging around for stuff!

I would advise mystery shopping which is easy money and pretty fun. I also came across a site where they train you then set you loose as a camgirl. I can try and dig it up if you're interested?

Mystery shopping has never been worth it for me. By the time you've gone around the area, driven to the place, done whatever, it only works out as a few quid. And the jobs are few and far between.

Just made over 100 quid on ebay already
Elance and Odesk I never really got hold of. Can you give me more info on how they work?

JuniorDesigner

I think the Elance site is a lot like the very advertised People Per Hour website, it looks good on the outset but you very rarely see a job awarded to yourself and many people really underprice jobs to recieve work.

Ive used it now for well over a year and never had one job awarded! (No Workman and his tools jokes....!!)

Excellent earnings on ebay! :j

As for the freelance sites–yes, there is a lot of competition and people from India and the Philippines are willing to do work for ridiculously low prices. But that has actually created a market for quality work that is delivered on time.

Services in demand always include web programming, graphic design, writing, etc. A good one is Virtual Assistant - this can be link building, article submission, posting messages on forums (!) etc.

As with anything that pays decently, you need to invest time and commitment to make it work. But if you can provide a service, you can make money. Apply for jobs en masse (look for the ones with long-term potential). All you need are a couple of positive reviews, and you're away!

Here's a link with some advice:

I've used PPH for a few years now lol. I was a freelance telesales consultant for a long time, and always have various options like that open to me. But that involves more effort than i'm prepared to put in these days Really I'm after minimal effort/ no travel/ no expense ways to make £20 per hour or more

Thanks re ebay - i had about 20 items of old clothing i no longer wear, and there was a free listing day so i went for it
