Options
Hi guys!

I am in instore demonstrator working on a zero hours contract and work has been a little short of recent months.

I need some extra money coming in ....

So I work 3 to 4 days a week as and when i can.
I list what I can on ebay but nothing is selling.
I list items on facebook and gumtree but again nothin is selling
I have looked and am looking for another job but I either can't find anything I am qualified in or as I have been out of the admin world for a few years, I cam not being successful

    There are plenty of threads on this board to answer your question. If you can't(?) get another job or more hours in your current one you're going to have to spend a bit of time reading through various threads to get ideas.

    Why is stuff not selling on eBay, Facebook and Gumtree? Overpriced? That is generally the only reason something won't sell, everything will go if the price is right.

    What sort of items are you selling? The items not selling might have something to do with other factors such as the quality of photos or the item descriptions.

    What id do is, type in the name of the item you're selling into eBay then look at the auctions that are ending soonest, then see if they have any bids. If they do, then you can compare what is different about your listing compared to theirs, such as whether they have a more compelling title, whether they give free P&P, etc...

    How about selling some services on fiverr?
  • Perhaps you can do what @baaluo suggested and at the same time try getting works in other freelancer sites such as upwork.com, freelancer.com. Anyway, good luck :-)
