£500 per month....£16.50 per day...easy. I make about £100 per day doing matched betting although you'll need a float of about £3,000 to be able to back and lay most of the offers. You can start small and work your way up.:footie:
Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S)
Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money.

How much does your husband earn?
Post up your SOA and see if there is any wiggle room!
There us almost no chance of earning £500 a month at home, unless you are in a pyramid scheme selling or working 18 hr days (not 20 in the week). Much better to have guaranteed income from employed work.
Could you downsize? Are you claiming all the benefits you are entitled to? Could your husband up his hours?
There may be other ways to help you run your home.0 -

What absolute rubbish -There are plenty of people who work from home on an hourly rate doing the same work their counterparts do in call centres (customer service roles not selling roles ) and are paid the same hourly rate. Evening shifts are especially popular as kids are asleep and or partner can care for the children after their own work day and the demand for hours is there as people often need to call these companies when they get home from work.
Why you assume all jobs you can do are self employed is beyond me. I've worked taking calls for the same company for the last six years I have the same pay rate and security as anyone else -(my job has even been TUPE'd-paid holidays, bonus PAYE etc ). It is certainly not "almost impossible" to find a "proper job" based at home.I Would Rather Climb A Mountain Than Crawl Into A Hole

That is indeed rubbish. I earn much more than £500 a month. From home. I don't sell or use the telephone. And I have a family so I most certainly do not work 18 hour days.0 -
Count me in for making £500 a month if it's possible from working online / at home.0

And who do you actually work for which company?
There are loads of you on here saying yeah its possible to earn what the OP is looking to earn a month but none of you actually giving any concrete information of what jobs and how to apply.
It seems to me you lot are just gloating that you have cussy jobs set up.0 -
It's certainly possible, but it will require plenty of dedication, focus as well as a clear plan of action.
One way would be to promote digital products as an affiliate. A lot of digital products have a payout of at least $20 so you would only need about 1 or 2 sales per day to reach your goal of £500 per month, as this would mean your goal is about $28 per day.
Once you get used to writing content to promote the product and driving traffic from places like Google and YouTube then you'll have the experience to expand even further.0 -

There are companies are mentioned time and time again on this forum, even in this thread! Do a quick search for work from home and you should find something.
I have worked for 360CRM making appointment reminder calls for the NHS.
Sensee is also another company that seems to be constantly taking on call centre staff from home.
And the jobs arent cushy, you still have to "work", turn up for your shift on time. You just dont leave the house.
I have also done web search evaluation for many years, another popular work from home choice.
There are also txt answering services. Lots of options, but like in the real world no one hands the infomation to you on a plate!! The number of times someone PMs me for info, I spend time replying and dont even get a thanks, its no wonder people are reluctant to share info!!0 -
Thank you for all the replies
I have applied with Leap force. I looked at Sensee but you need a PC and I just have a laptop. I have also applied for freelance audio typing working with an agency.
I have signed up to bubblews and have upped the ante on all the survey and click sites. I have also bought some stock for Ebay and I am just waiting on it arriving.
My hubby earns £12,000 a year. I will earn £7,000 this year (my leave will end in October and I will not return) This £7,000 includes statutory pay for the next 3 months, then no pay for 3 months, then all my outstanding holiday pay.
We currently get £20.80 Child Benefit and £31.53 Child Tax Credit.
