What do you do to earn a little extra?

redballoon_2

I am considering getting a second job to help with the bills

I have joined up with the usual pigsback, freefivers, quidco, ciao, yougov

I have points cards with boots, nectar and tescos

I have just joined as a mystery shopper

I am also a member of shop and scan, which you get points in return for telling them about your shopping habbits (on a weekly basis)


What do you do? Looking forward to finding out about other peoples ways!

I do Avon to bring in some money. I have also sold a few things through Amazon/Ebay and I'm now putting bits and bobs on IBootsale (hoping it's better than ebay!). Handmade cards is next on my list. And of course I do cashback, click and survey sites.

I'm going to follow this thread with interest, as I'm keen to earn extra as need to start saving as soon as debt is cleared.
I only do yougove and Pigsback at the moment.
How do you get into mystery shopping?

Ive been selling on ebay, green metropolis and amazon.

I did do one mystery shop, but it was bobbins. Just joined gapbuster hopefully more will come through

I exploit quidco as much as poss pigsback too, although had not a lot from them I dont know how people do so well!

I collect vouchers and use these off my shopping

I ebay like there's no tomorrow, I also sell on other people's behalf. I would have a second bar job but have a small child plus full time business anyway! Someone suggested an ironing service - apparently it pays really well. Try paper rounds, leaflet delivering and dog walking if you like to get out.

Have a read through this thread there are lots of ideas people have tried that might spark some inspiration.

you may want to edit your post as you arent supposed to name clients that each MS company do work for
