    You could try paid product testing, you dont have to leave you house or spend a penny! Not sure you will make £50 a week... but you will definitely up your income!

    :eek: 2014: £20 voucher from SurveyFriends, £10 cash payout from Panel Opinion too and working towards more from Valued Opinions currently.
    2013: £35 and £50 vouchers from SurveyFriends! More than £15 made from other paid surveys sites (Yougov, Panel Opinion, Valued Opinions, Pinecone, etc.) Happy so far!

    How about working as a film extra? It's incredibly boring, waiting around all day for a walk through in a scene, so take a good book, but it is quite well paid. You have to have photos done and sign up with an agent, but bits and pieces do trickle in.

    Forget agencies for extras work unless you're in London or can get to shoots in London. If so then I'd recommend Ray Knight. Dove casting are ok too. Otherwise it just isn't worth it. After the agency cut, and 8 - 10 hours standing around doing nothing (or doing a lot.. depends) you'll get around £60.

    Cut out the middle man and sign up for starnow and castingcall pro (subscription is worth it and less than agency fees and sign up) and scour gumtree and local papers for jobs. This way you find and arrange your own work and keep the profit ;)

    Re your email on the product testing websites - just create another email address just to use for things like this :D

    Nice one Serious.

    Just as an update, I am now making well over £50 extra per week lol:rotfl:


    That's great news! Is that from stuff you used to do or from something new?

    You could try trawling through charity shops looking for bargains to sell on ebay. I'm thinking of doing this for vintage clothing which has massive markups.
