How can i make money??

I am hoping this is in the correct place.
How can i make some money just extra cash so that we have cash in the bank every week after bills etc have been paid.
I dont expect not to work for it, maybe homework etc?? and i dont have money to put in upfront like for these gambling loopholes etc.
If you have any suggestions that might help please post here
thank you in advance.
Rach!!!!!

    Plenty of possibilities but all will require investment of some cash and a lot of time.

    Based upon the little information you've given here, how about
    * Childminding
    * Taking in ironing
    * Selling on e-bay
    * Secretarial services

    Obviously I don't know what your skills are or at what level - do you have a hobby you could turn to commercial use? How much time are you prepared to put in before any returns? Are you on any benefits at present - could these be affected by earning other income?

    There are plenty of points you need to consider. One tip - avoid joining any schemes that ask you to PAY money up front.

    well i could maybe afford a little outlay at the end of the month when DH gets monthly wage, I can use all my time whilst kids are at school, only reason i want it to be soemthing to fit around this is if i go out to work i ahve no1 as emergency contacts if my kids take ill in school,and need picking up or whatever.
    I wouldnt be able to afford much though as selling on ebay would be one id love, but cant afford to buy much to sell on
    my biggest hobby is reading i dont think i could use that at all tbh, i love animals so i guess i could do a dogwalking thing or maybe a holiday home kind of thing, but thats if council will allow i already have plenty of pets of our own, lol
    i love internet and i would be able to do telephone work only thing is finding some telephone work based at home.

    thanks for your reply Mark:beer:
