Lots of time on hands, what other ways to earn money?

ClaphamDave

Morning all

I'm one of those people who is always looking for ways to earn a bit of extra cash in ways which are a bit unorthodox (but still legal of course).

I've dabbled in Bitcoin Mining, Matched Betting, A blog with Adsense, a Youtube channel, etc etc.

I am a shift worker so I have quite a bit of time on my hands and I love doing things to earn a bit of extra money on the side. I'm not debt free but my main income deals with that and I have a separate bank account for my little ventures.

I am currently matched betting still, it's quite slow due to not wanting to put too much initial capital into it but it's getting there slowly.

I'm fairly good at English so don't mind writing to earn a bit extra, but the only site I've really heard of is Fiverr and nothing but nightmare stories about it.

I'm intending to start a business soon but until then I'm just looking for any other opportunities that might earn a bit of extra cash in the mean time.

I'm hoping to grow the pot to a few £k and then start investing or trading properly, but the whole point of this is to come from as little initial capital as possible (in my case £60).

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Dave

Hi Dave, Based on what you've said I would consider two things.

(i)You have Adsense, so try and focus on You Tube videos (make sure you monetise them), as the amounts you make compared with a blog are far superior from my own experience and use the description area below to it's full effect including tags for a better chance of ranking.

(ii)I've been a member of Fiverr for over 4 years now and there are good and bad things about it like most other freelancing sites. If you're a half decent writer then, advertise your services with them, creating a good description with specific bullet points, tags, decent images and preferably a video. Only do writing tasks which take 20 minutes or less, or you'll end up working for much less than the minimum wage.

Best of Luck

For writing, there's Ciao review site. As already said, there are various suggestions on this forum.

I have registered with Topcashback and looked through all the Bingo/Casino sites.


Most offer cashback of between £10 & £50 for just registering and depositing £10 ..... simply play the £10 through (if Casino 1 bet on roulette - half on red, half on black will get you your bet back) then cashout and get upto £50 cashback


Have made £490 cashback in just over a week

While I recommend Top CashBack and I did get a nice little profit once from a bingo site, cashback is not guaranteed and you can't be sure you'll win anything on the bingo/gambling sites.
