Making extra money

What other than surveys do people do to make money?

I never seem to be able to make much on them.

I also have sold everything I could possibly sell.

Just wondered what others are doing

    I've just started doing a few mystery shops. You won't get rich on them but its an easy way to accumulate some extra cash, I only work part time so I can earn as much in a 20 minute shop than I can in a 4 hour shift.
    Ironically I'm the most short tempered person in my own job so Lord help me if I ever got mystery shopped 😲

    I'm wondering the same thing - I've recently started doing some paid surveys which are good but slow progress and I'm selling through old bits and bobs that I don't need.  But I'm coming to the end of the road on selling stuff.

    How does this work re getting paid?  Are you just classed as a zero hours worker for the company or do you need a business account?  I'm getting totally confused over the bank issue.  I spoke to my bank, the Halifax, and they said I could get my account suspended if I use it for business purposes?
