Hi, I am a student just finishing my a levels and I am 17, which is so annoying as I can't do matched betting. Basically, I have just over 2 months to earn as much money as possible before my holiday.

I have a weekend job where I earn 33 pound a week and have 50 pound already, plus 20 pound from Topcashback so...

20 +
50 +
33 x 10 = 330
=380

I would love to have around 600 but looking around it seems everything good is 18+, has anyone got any recommendations or ideas I could try? £220 extra is the target.

PS- I made a website a while ago (I wont state what it is as I don't want to 'self promote') and I put a referral advert to my TCB. Not realising how well it would kick off I forgot about it and changed my TCB username. I have been getting a few 1000 hits a month mostly referred from google.CO.UK and hope that now I have adapted the advert to link to my referral that I earn some more money this way which would be nice during the £10 bonus referral time at TCB.

Thanks in advance, appreciate any help!
:)

  • Sign up for a tempting agency - you could get data entry, admin, glass collecting (I think you have to be 18 to get bar work), waitering.

    Or there might be leafleting jobs.

    Sell your old A-level books.

    Drop me a PM if you like. If you are good at writing (good spelling/grammar) and have a reasonable knowledge of the UK, I may have suitable work for you that can be done from the comfort of your own PC. It's not fantastic pay but it's nothing scammy so no get-rich-quick promises! Just straight forward writing work that can be done from home.
