Making Money At Home

doitmyself

Back to the point, Jen44 you're dreaming I think. Working from home with wine in hand doing data entry? I hope it ain't my data you're entering!

Seriously, I work from home usually 2-3 days p/w and it is nice, not least cos there's an office to go to which I look forward to on the other 2-3 days a week, but to do, in your case a stressful day's work and then come home and do another, extremely tedious and poorly paid job wont work. You wouldn't do it well and the reward wouldn't be worth it. You need the downtime.

If you enjoy the job you're doing currently is there any flexibility available to you that you haven't considered or discussed with your manager?

Not the sharpest tool in the box using the same username on all the different forums and that claim of Trading Standards having confirmed they made "£210,000 in 12 months filling envelopes" was just waaaaaay to suspicious to be true.
Nobody makes £210,000 a year filling envelopes - not legally anyway!

The "filling envelopes" jobs are nothing buy pyramid selling. I fell for it one-luckily it only cost me £7.50 but at the time it was like losing fifty quid today! It was a case of "put out ads in local newsagents" send a leaflet to the people who reaponded. Pass on the money to the company and the leaflet was selling some holiday voucher and joining this money making "opportunity". The only genuine one I heard of was a friend of mine who assembled jewelerry for C&A years ago.

Bullsheet!! You own that site - your username is exactly the same on the 'Warrior' forum where the site is in your signature. How you can come on here and tell blatant lies like that just shows that you do indeed have no morals:

You also went on this site using the same user name and told complete lies:

It's people like you who take advantage of honest people who just want to earn a bit of extra money who should be reported to Trading Standards!

nice detective work there mate.i tend to be a bit wary of newbie poster,s who come along offering a good site or decent advice.

Ermmm......could I please just say, that whilst some might be pyramid schemes not ALL companies that do envelope stuffing are stinky scammers?

My sister runs a legitimate business that offers a packaging service to large companies for when they want to send out free samples and things via mailshots. They are always looking for home workers, not because they're out to scam but because the two of them can't stuff 10,000 envelopes, they pay them by the hour and are generally quite nice Shame they get lumped in with the lowlilfes....

What about setting up a blog and selling ad space on it?

Lot's of people write articles in their spare time, for either web based mags or paper mags.

I've wrote articles for my local paper's. Just phone the editor find out if they are o.k. to talk, find out what's in the pipe line, and if you can help, ask if you can submit an article. If you get given the go ahead, you should get paid for it, but word of warning here. You will only get paid if they use it.

Wouldn't it be great to sit in frnt of a laptop and make thousands of pounds for nothing! If that was possible, EVERYBODY would be doing it!

It really annoys me when people make claims of loads of money for minimal work.

Does anybody seriously believe that any company would have envelopes filled with such wondrous financial value to it's recipients, to be worth £210,000 per year to the envelope stuffer???

Yeah, sure, some marketing company is out there paying somebody £4000+ a week just to fill envelopes!

Thats £576 a day based on a 7 day week! Is anybody out there really that stupid to believe that the economics of a company distributing sales literature in envelopes would pay anybosy that money?

If it is so simple, they would get some Albanians in to do it for £3 an hour!

I suppose the world is full of gullible people after a quick and easy life. Unfortunately in the real world that doesn't happen.

Over the last few years I've taken a lot of digital photos, and quite a selection is of high quality. I'm considering putting some of these onto a stock photo site so can make a bit of money that way. But the sites that I've looked at all pay in dollars through PayPal, which isn't that great because of the exchange rate and the cost of converting it back to pounds. Does anyone know of any British run sites, or sites that will pay in pounds?

There's fotolibra. You can also make galleries on photobox.
