how can you earn £100 per week -any idease??

Hi
I need an income of £100 per week to support my other pension income - I am 55.I don't want to work for anyone else I would prefer to earn it off my own back but must earn £100 after tax.
Does anyone out there have any good and genuine ideas?
Is anyone do something similar - how is it going in the current climate?

Thanks
T

    Have you considered reselling on Ebay?

    I'm assuming as a pensioner you have plenty of free time at your disposal. If you take it up seriously you can make some serious cash (much more than £100pw), and it's pretty fun and addictive.

    If you have some exceptional knowledge of a specific market (eg coins, antiques, art, etc) you can use it as leverage to earn some healthy returns.

    Try selling some stuff you don't need round the house and see if you like it. It's really easy and fast to get started - you can put up your first auction by the end of this evening.
  • SPARKY is spot on, if you go that route add AMAZON and EBID as selling sites as well. good luck
