Making extra cash around full time work

Hi all,

Me and oh are trying to save for a deposit on our first house and its seeking impossible as we have to pay rent as well! We both work full time but I'm looking to do something part time around that for a bit of extra cash. I already make things and sell them on eBay so has anyone else got any other suggestions? I've also sold everything that I don't need on eBay recently, done cash for clothes etc.

Thanks,

Sxx

    Do you do swagbucks? you can get £25 per month each if you can hit their targets every day.

    I worked out you'd have to get 150 points a day to make £22.50 on average.... which is alittle less then half of their targets? :money:
    People don't know what they want until you show them.
  • I used to be on swag bucks, might try my log in again and see ifi can get it working. I do surveys on valued opinions as well but it takes ages to get to the £10 mark for vouchers! Xxx

    I do the following -

    Swagbucks - £10 per month roughly depends on if I get surveys) You can get Amazon vouchers or paypal credit from this, I get Amazon vouchers, minimum payout £5

    Valued Opinions - normally get £10 very 2 months but again depends on the surveys. You can get M&S, Boots, Argos and sometimes Amazon vouchers from here. I at the moment get Boots for the Christmas 342. Payout level £10

    YouGov - I've been doing it on and off for 6 years and earned £100, just claimed my second £50 today actually. YouGov is minimal effort but surveys are not a daily occurrence, in fact sometimes you might not get one for weeks if not months but I've never been disqualified from a YouGov so if you do complete them your get reward points and the surveys you do get a fairly quick and easy. Cash goes in via bank payment, £50 payout level.

    Dooyoo - reviews on food, music, electrical goods, toiletries, movies etc etc. Its abit like trip advisor but you get "Dooyoo Miles" for a review and then for each rate, different levels and the more rates you get the more miles you get. Pay out is Amazon vouchers or £50 cash, I think this is bank transfer. Minimum payout is £20 for Amazon, I got my first AGC about 4 weeks ago and took 8 weeks but now I have the hang of it I expect to get another soon or continue to get cash £50 payout level for this.

    Now SB and YouGov Ive been doing these for longer than a year, the rest I only started about 3 months ago but Im enjoying them. I don't do any at weekends, during the week I probably spend 2-3 hours on them, maybe longer if Im doing several Dooyoo reviews. Its fun!

    I was thinking maybe setting up a small ironing business considering I actually don't mind doing that anyway so I don't see it as a chore, I can't think of anything else people don't like to do except cleaning so I could advertise to do that as well I guess.

  • Why don't you think about looking into network marketing? Most of them have low start up costs, high levels of support and training, fun, positive people around you? It's the next trillion dollar profession and can be done by anyone in any situation - worth looking into it.

    And along comes a network marketing sheep.

    Only get involved in network marketing if you want to alienate all your friends and family by trying to flog [EMAIL="!!!!"]!!!![/EMAIL] to them.
