Great ‘Bit On The Side’ Hunt

Alysie

Hi
Im not trying to advertise here but I am a marketing executive for a eco products company. I buy all my stuff from them that I would buy anyway, washing up liquid, shampoo etc and earn points that I can swap for goods and I also have people signed up under me and I make a percentage of what they spend. The products are excellent and I make around £250/300 a month - which is a big difference.
I really love ebay too and was thinking about doing it more but I dont know where to get stocks of items cheaper than I can actually buy them on ebay LOL - anyone any ideas???

Have just spent a little while reading through all your suggestions, am now about to register with some and check them all out. I complete surveys, yougov give on average 50p per survey and they are ususally short, quickwise pay about £1 per survey also short (they text you to let you know a survey has been sent for you to complete) mutualpoints is an easy money maker, you gain points by clicking on their ad link (5points) pricerunner search (9points) and you get a % if you shop with one of their retail links. 3000 points is £20 money for nothing. I am a mystery shopper but mainly check out banks (for setting up new accounts) am now going to register with the more enjoyable sounding company links. Will post my results. Thanks to all for the info.

I'd also recommend dropshipping. You can dropship branded clothing & designer sunglasses by visiting this site.

Not sure where to put this so if its in the wrong place, apologies.

here's a site where you can sell your story to popular magazines. May help someone who needs cash and has an interesting tale to tell.

Might be best going in the 'Great bit on the side hunt' which is in the mortgage free board.

Maybe one of the board guide will move it there.

I wrote an article about some of the money saving schemes Ive done over the years to Real people magazine last month,and they rang me up last week to say they will publish it in two weeks time and they will pay me £300 for the story

I think if it's okay this will be good in the 'great bit on the side hunt' as you suggested, catchambers. I'll move it over in a little while. It'll still be on the same board but it'll be in the sticky so more people will see it.

Humph. One of my rivals. That's the job I do. You could all just PM me and help me pay my mortgage

How about volunteering for medical trials? This can be very lucrative, I am on a panel with Astra Zeneca. Haven't been able to make a trial yet for various reasons, but the pay can be upto and over £2000 depending on how long etc. You get to have a complete medical before being accepted. There is also a procedure to get onto the panel. You have to be in basic good health, not overweight or on medication. Worth looking at. Visit https://www.healthyvolunteers.co.uk

Hmm - I'm thinking I might give this one a miss!

We have finally booked a trip to see a close relative who emigrated on the understanding we can stay at their house but they have just told us they have dogs and my husband is badly allergic to them. This means a cheap hol has become v expensive as we now also have to pay for hotel accommodation so extra money needs to be earnt in the next 5 months!

I have tried many of the suggestions on this thread already about making extra money (Kleeneze, ebay, car boot sales, jumble sales, phone book delivery etc) but as I always have to have my young children with me (hubbie works long hours and then works more hours when he is not at work!) I get annoyed as I usually end up spending more than I make as the children pester for things we come across and I can't concentrate and stay long enough to make it worthwhile!

Does anyone have any ideas for work I can do without having the take the children with me or getting anyone else to look after them? I have A level English and used to work in banking, marketing and retail. Most of my experience requires me to work with the public which I can't do (profitably!) with the kids in tow! Would be very grateful for any suggestions
