extra income?help please?

Options
hi,i am a single mother of a baby so dont have much free time,i am in quite alot of debt and with a house and baby its spiralling out of control. I have trawled through many threads about how to up your income but as i dont buy alot online cant make cashback even though i have signed up to quidco. ive signed up to the survey sites but i always seem to not be eligable this time for every survey.
Have anyone heard of amber jewellery and if so isit possible to do this without having your own company?
I am very good at selling so anything along them lines would be great...wholesalers who give the items upfront?... i used to work for a company like this before but they shut down and i cant seem to find another 1.
any help is greatly appreciated
thank you x

    A few ideas:

    - Could you sell anything on eBay?
    - Complete surveys online?
    - Market research?
    - If you're on the Giffgaff mobile network they pay their customers for helping out on their forums. Only pay out twice a year but you can build up £100s in that time.
    What will your verse be?

    If you are struggling with debt, you should seriously consider a trip to Citizens Advice. They can help for example by getting interest frozen (depending on your circumstances) or negotiating lower payments from lenders.

    Dropshipping is a great way to resell without spending huge capital. Some wholesalers are open to this arrangement - you promote their products/resell, mark up the price, and once you have a buyer, you will just need to advise them (and pay for the item) to be shipped to your buyer. You pocket your mark up as profit. That way you will not be keeping stock or worry about spending on something that might not sell. Hope this helps!
