What are your best (legal!) moneymaking ideas

Hello. I've had a bit of a look around the forum but correct me if I've posted this in the wrong place or whatever. It's been useful to find ways to save money but as a student without a regular income I've been looking for ways to earn money. I have one which is working pretty well but I was wondering what everyone elses best methods were...

The way I'm trying to start making a bit of extra cash is through filling out online surveys and doing free trial sort of stuff. It's a bit tedious but i think it's working quite well. It's the usual referal deal so I might as well stick in a cheeky link ***Sorry - No links!**** if you're interested.

Anyway, what are everyone's ways of making money. I'm thinking of buying things in bulk off ebay and selling them to friends etc. So I'd be interested in hearing of anyone that's done that succesfully.

Cheers. *rubs hands in greedy manner*

    * go to the psychology department and sign up to experiments (mostly harmless and give about £5/6 an hour)
    * TNS gets you nectar points
    * Evening bar work!


    and i think you'll have to remove the referal link unless it's on the referal board.

    i match bet too but i wouldnt recomend it to any tom !!!!!! or harry. Requires great understanding of what you are doing, don't go into it lightly - research it and understand the system backwards and inside out.

    Try dropshipping - no outlay and uncapped income potential :)

    Oh yes, that is a great way to make money, spend hours every day giving out your personal details for a £5 voucher at the end of the month! Whooopeee!!

    Seriously, if you are a student and want to get paid, get a part time job.

    Matched betting is also a good one, but you need to know what your are doing.
