Leaflet Dropping / Delivering stuff

Hey all,
I'm currently on maternity leave and doing a lot of walking locally with baby in the pram. I realised this morning I could be earning whilst I'm doing it by dropping leaflets or catalogues or something? I have no idea where to start though?

Is there much money in it (though really for me it's more about pin money and a motivator to get outside) and can anyone point me in the direction of companies that do it without ripping me off massively?

It needs to be on my terms really as both me and the baby have a lot of hospital appointments to attend, so I don't want the pressure of it being, say, every Thursday, or whatever. Also I can only do it for a few months til I return to work next year.

Any help appreciated thanks!

  • email the companies around you and ask, that's the easiest way.

    I did this when I was about 17, you need to be self employed though and I work per leaflet dropped with a bonus on conversions.

    For example

    I worked for a few estate agents in my area, I'd say to them I would drop the leaflets at 200 houses (Take around an hour) for .3 a leaflet. That's £60 an hour essentially. I would do this for 3 companies, Monday would be Company 1, Tuesday Company 2 and Wednesday company 3. I would make around £180 a week. For 3 hours work.

    I would also get a £5 bonus per month for every person that phoned the agency quoting the number that was printed on the leaflets.
