    To original poster :)
    I'm not with this company but just to let you know that PartyLite recruit party planners and have no starting cost - might be worth looking into? They sell candles, ornamental holders and some lovely spa goodies :)
    Good luck,
    Jenny

    can you make money out of nothing / no initial outlay / not selling on ebay?

    Why?

    I make a few quid from selling stuff on ebay that haven't cost me anything
  • Good point.

    Dog walking could be a good one. I am a volunteer dog walker but there is a demand for reliable people to take dogs out, especially for elderly owners. If you are honest and reliable, and turn up when you say you will, you can build up a round in quite a short time. I never let the dogs of the lead and only take one owner's dogs at a time. That way it does not get too much hassle.

    This is where nightmares start! What happens if the dog gets hurt, you lose the keys etc! If you do dog walking get insured (about £400 per yr individually, or about £15 through an agency)
    NOT a NEWBIE!

    Buying and selling is the best way. Find something cheap and sell for a profit. Just need to find that bargain :)

    Ahhhh, that makes more sense, I always thought it was chips for free....

    haha me too :rotfl: :doh:
  • only things I can suggest is car boots, try and find any unwanted things from your home or ask friends / family, or sell unwanted cds/dvds/games on musicmagpie, babysitting/dogsitting is another one - again friends / family might be able to help. of course you're not going to make mega bucks but hope that advice helps in some way!
