  • Hi,

    Yes, I realise that. I think it takes around three weeks to arrive though and I was thinking that could be a quicker way to get approved with Betfair.

    Andrea, have you got a bank account? While you are looking for a better job, have you thought of selling your old and unused junks or ornaments on ebay?
    It won't give you a proper income unless you switch to sell full time on it, but it'll give you a bit of money, and you will be decluttering your home at the same time. But you need a bank account for it.
  • Hi,

    It's something I thought about but I thought selling e-products or dropshipping could be an idea. I'm not sure what anyone else thinks though?

    Dropshipping http://www.easywebstore.co.uk/drop-shipping-guide
    You probably have got the information allready, but you will need to be careful which suppliers you are dealing with.That website has a forum, if you have any questions about it, sign in.....
    I would personally try to sell stuff on my own and have a bit of money and experience (and confidence) in front of me before dealing with wholesalers, but it sounds relatively good if the wholesalers you are dealing with are serious and honest, so you will have a lot of research and homework to do before choosing your wholesellers.
    It sounds to me that you are housebound....................
  • Hi,

    Thanks, I appreciate the link. I'll have a look at it.
    I've started creating a website to earn with adsense.

    Andrea,

    Is there a reason why you want to work from home (disability/ children/etc)

    If there is, have a look at the new UP your income board theres quite a lot of new bits & pieces being posted there
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:
