Hello all

I am following your thread with interest and looking forward to seeing how you all get along. I would love to work from home as I am struggling to find a job at present. I can craft and it is my dream to give it a go, however I have tried it before (before I was on benefits) and unfortunately never made anything I found I wasn't any good at the promotion side. I might give it another go as I am allowed to earn £20 per week without effecting my benefits and I can't see me making more than that. The things that put me off is the cost, I need to pay for insurance and pay to list items also I am not sure if it is worth the hassle of doing the tax return for such little (if any) money.

Good luck everyone, I wish you all well.

What an excellent idea, I would like to join you if I may? I have a full time day job which I do enjoy but my heart is set on web design and development and I'd like to work for myself.

I constantly revisit the idea and would like this to be a part time project and a thread like this may help me take that big step into marketing my site and services.

I'd like to aim for 100 per month although this will likely be averaged some months zero but some months more.

Good luck with all your ideas everybody

Why not try and use elance (what I use most of the time).

There's many free agency sites out there, there's ones that charge but freelancer is another that's free, they sometimes offer things for credits like on elance putting your proposal for some work at the top.

I am a professional web developer, have been for the past 5 years.

If you want any help I can offer if you need it?

PS the thing that distinguishes me from self promotion (which I really don't feel this is), if you wanted me to actually do some work for you, I'd charge for it, if it's advice I am more than happy to give that advice for free.

Got some great tips from my New Enterprise Allowance mentor that I would be more than happy relaying.

I found a good article for making money schemes today. It's aimed at Students but most of it seems relative to the real world as well

Wow, this seems like a good challenge. I wonder how this would end up.

I started on my blog but its alot more comlicated to actally set up then i thought it was...so far I can't control how to set up the links on dif pages

(Like one page shows every link to every page and I want it only to show a few but if I change it for one it changes it for all ugh lol)

Is anyone getting along well? I have to admit I havn't done that much since starting this thread but my OH has been off work (as lame as excuse that is) so hoping to get my head down into it this week.

Thank you for your reply - sorry for the delay in replying.

Thank you for your offer of help. My problems are not the technicalities but the promotion of what I can do. All of my work has been based inhouse for my employer so I cannot showcase the work. I'm not employed in an IT capacity or web developer role either.

Obviously I need my own site of some description which I am working on now but it's getting the next steps identified and then aligned that I'm just not seeing!

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

To start with, I don't think you'd have to have your own website. If you can do things like shopping carts etc and full on websites why don't you see (just as an idea) if their are any local takeaways in your area that want to get online for themselfs?

I think its a growing industry atm being able to sit at a computer to order (i.e hungry horse/justeat sites) but most don't want to pay their fees to advertise on their.

Theirs lots of things really, Id just start locally and just think to yourself who could profit from a website and start offering your services either by popping in or leaflets..advertising on gumtree..

To do it professionally though you will need a good website eventually but were all just starting here :-)
