Ideas wanted :-) 100ish Ways to make £270

Kayalana99

Hi Guys,

I want to buy a house on B2L so I need 27k.

The aim of the game is to do it 1% at a time.

I already have a Small Ebay business which brings in about £50-£100 a month so basing that on a year at £75 thats about 3%

Savings I am planning on putting away £22.50 a month (possibly £45 but won't know till novemeber if I can afford it really as already putting £125/monthly away for other things)

Already have 1% and I have lots of excess shoe stock upstairs (Failed ebay businses I guess at least one bit is working lol) that I am planning on getting on Ebay tonight (unf can't start it now due to times the auctions end so will have to wait till 6pm+ ) so reckon that with a few other house hold bits I will be able to get to 2%

So if I have that right... I am currently on track this year for at least 6%..

Has anyone got any more ideas on how to make £270?

Open to all suggestions but bare in mind I am on mat leave so have two kids in tow (or will do in about 4 weeks!! ) although I won't be complety house bound as I am with my partner so will be able to 'sneak' out if say ..I did a catalogue round or something.

Also currently on Swagbucks but I stopped doing it out of bordem really but I am unsure if I could make £22.50 a month off it but could start that again...but its alot of time/effort for such min amount of money but if its an extra percent I will do it..shall think about that one :-) (Just done maths on this and that would mean 150 points ish a day...and would probally take most the day up )

So far:

1% - Complete
3% - Ebay Business
1% - Savings
1% - Selling Excess stock and household bits

Total = 6% 'in coming for Sept 14'

Are you crafty in any way? I know there would be a small start up cost but handmade things sell really well at the moment xxx

No tbh. I keep seeing people on facebook advertising hand made items but I have never been an artistic person let alone 'crafty' I keep looking out for things that look easy to make but it's just not my thing I guess.

Thanks for your response though, I was expecting this to be full of ideas bit gutted tbh but nvm! Got some things on Ebay tonight so its a start.

The fake big issue seller outside our local supermarket got lifted after lighting up a spliff whilst receiving a caution, for smoking a spliff.
He had £307 in change and notes on him which he claims to have earned begging in 5 hours according to the court report.

You are declaring your income from your eBay business for tax, aren't you? You'll need to do it for any other craft businesses/surveys etc you start too.

Yup. All Legal.

Excellent. Didn't want you getting a shock further down the line when the taxman wants his share.

Great ideas there (I think anyway!).

If you're going to be on the computer for most of the day anyway then join clixsense.

They have a radio app which you leave running and every ten minutes there's a catchpa to solve. 1cents a go, so as I say only worth it if you're on anyway, but it doesn't mind being muted and even works with adblock.

Oh and they also have swagbucks daily survey 90cents each which I think is more than swagbucks pay. It's called opinion survey.

I normally recommend instagc for these, but clixsense pay in PayPal not amazon so probably better for you. It's all dollars, but PayPal can convert it (they always do for me anyway).

Millionaire challenge right?? Lol

If you're doing your AAT, you could do some freelancing as a bookkeeper??

Matched betting seems like a good idea in theory, but I'm too scared to try it just yet haha

Swagbucks is good, and you can get the money paid out into Paypal. It takes a while to get decent money but if you do the surveys it's not too bad + it's minimum effort really

You could try lending out what money you have on peer to peer lending website, but again, I've been too scared to try this so far

I've never been particularly crafty but due to getting married soon have embraced it and found that its easier than it seems :-) there's loads of free tutorials out there as well on YouTube to help. Message me if you want any help or more info, and I hope you found some good ways to keep making your 1% at a time. Sxx
