    what about home made Birthday cards and then sell them to family and friends, I make a few they cost about 15p to make and I sell them at 75p/£1.00.
    Can you sell things on ebay?

    are you any good at a bit of marketing and making websites (can use templates)? if so, a mate of mine buys membership of a site building site with about 10 domains included for £200 and then sells a site to local businesses for £250 each and charges them to maintain them

    Hi poppyjay,I have been looking at a book called "a bit on the side" which has a few ideas for making extra money.Because you are unable to go out at the moment the list is abit short,but here are a few.......Boarding small animals for people going on holiday.
    Renting out a room.
    Renting out your garage or drive if you live in an area where its hard to park.
    Telesales.
    Selling things on ebay for family and friends for a small cut of profits.
    sweet-making.
    Do you have any skills.......sewing,proof reading,can you make craft items to sell.
    I also found this website www.homeworking.com but be really careful of scams,maybe ask on here before signing up for anything just to check everythings OK.I havent looked at the above web site so take care.
