    What's the card reading then? is it well paid?

    No idea - most home based employment is either a scam or low paid.

    There was a lady on the housing forum who said she sometimes got paid good money but that there was a lot of waiting around to get calls which is unpaid (therefore I assume that overall it is poorly paid as it is on a per call basis). She also said she just read from a script so it was a fake reading.

    Does it have to be actually in the house? Otherwise you could do some dog walking.

    How about becoming an Avon rep. ;-))
    ( It is not a promotion - just an idea - seen on TV)
    Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind ;)

    Nobody is going to tell you ideas but there is a dedicated board called Up your income, take a few weeks to read the posts on that one.
    Nobody knows what you're good at, what you would be prepared to do, hours available etc.
    Some people make a decent income from cam work others wouldn't want to be involved in the adult industry.
    Sniping at people who suggest the best board won't actually get you better responses.

    I make a small amount of money on ebay each month. It is around £50 but I like the fun element as well. It is very easy to do. You can sell anything from dvd's which you find in sales online at play, amazon etc or your own/childrens clothing. Have a look at what other people sell and see if you can get the same items. If you have some time to do real research then you can make more than my £50 a month. My brother used to buy items from auctions but the way to do it is go and look during the day of the auction at the stuff, write it down, research what you think it would sell for and then go back with your top price. Also, if you buy anything online from play, amazon or lots of other well know companies, make sure you have a nectar car and go through the nectar site first to get points which later you can use at the cinema, at sainsbury etc. Hope this helps.:)
