I've got a couple ideas so far, i've got a lot of stuff on ebay currently (35 items)
I've got a whole potful of euros/dollars/cents that I think you can send away for sterling on some websites?
Looked at doing the amazon trade in also, a lot of my books dont come up though. Are there any alternatives for book selling?
Any other ideas to help me along?
it is more about trying to make £5 per day, but not all of us manage to hit our daily targets. However we may make £20 one day and this will count for 4 days, but we will still try to make money over those 4 days, by doing surveys, swagbucks, etc.
There is Green Metropolis but unless it is a much in demand book, you are not likely to get much for it. Try Facebook selling, look for your local buy/sell/wanted/free page in your area and see if anyone wants to buy your books.
or gumtree.
with the money, probably about 5/6 months back we discussed how to exchange loose coins for sterling. I will have to look for it and find you the link. I have some that I would like to see if worth any hard cash too.
As said before, have a look at the first post lots of ideas on there.
Also if you have a smartphone have a look at the upyourincome board for ways to get your phone to pay. check ins with Quidco, I made £7.xx something over last 3 months.
About £7.50 with getjam, £15 with a phone app, where they want to see what websites I visit.0 -
first post has lots of idea, joining survey sites, mystery shopping, writing for sites, shop and scan, etc, etc.
Have a look around your home, anything you really don't need anymore? Try facebook selling.
Oh if you have a smartphone, there are apps you can install to make money. On the UP your income board, is a thread for Android phones for apps that make you money.
Hi you mention the Up your Income board having a Android Apps that make money section. I had a look but couldn't see it. Could you post a link, or PM me please.

Definitely interested in the iphone apps/earning! I'm on my phone a lot, in fact I have a work phone and my own phone, so could possibly earn twice!0 -
Posted my ebay items and one thing which I thought was a parcel went as a large letter so I've made £1.50 more than I thought. Also resisted getting a coffee while out and banked a Christmas cheque from my Aunt.0
