Great ‘Bit On The Side’ Hunt

westernpromise

I fill in online surveys over lunch at my desk.

So far this year I've collected about 200 quid in vouchers for places like Boots and Amazon. The beauty of it is that if you don't want the voucher you can usually flog it on eBay.

https://www.pureprofile.co.uk, https://www.ciao.co.uk, http://gb.lightspeedpanel.com and https://www.yougov.co.uk all pay out regularly - the latter less frequently.

https://www.sarosresearch.com also run focus groups which pay substantially more - anything to about 200 quid for half a day of your time.

I am now a teacher so in my holidays I fit kitchens, laminate flooring etc, we dable at e-bay more and more, getting good at making a few quid here and there, and until recently lectured at college evening classes. It all makes a huge difference.

I make money doing matched betting. More information can be found over on the Gambling Introductory Offer Loopholes board. It takes a bit of time to learn and understand but i find it a good way of making money in my spare time (currently about £1600 since Feb 05). Managed to pay for my Fiance's engagement ring and the rest will go towards the wedding.

My only word of warning is you need to understand what to do first.

There are plenty of helpful people over on the Gambling board and a lot more over at Rpoints.

Well that counts me out then :rotfl:

I am finding this thread very interesting as I need to find some way to raise cash as I am fast running out of money. For reason that I will not go in to I don't feel that I could work in a office job due to the stress of it.

Will keep reading.

I do paid surveys, cashback/points reward sites, rate websites, product testing, mystery shopping, sell old stuff online and at car boot sales, scanning my shopping, focus groups, competitions, receiving snail mail, and i run a website http://www.ilovefreebiesuk.net all about how to earn from home and get free stuff! It was fairly easy to make (and i was a complete beginner!) I first started creating the content in word, as i didnt have or know about free website design software. I managed to get hold of frontpage and just played about with it and just copy and pasted the content over.

Something like Frontpage is good in that you dont have to know html, it converts it all for you. Timewise, i could have cut lots of corners, but i wanted it to be, just so. So I've put in a lot of hours and it took months of work to research and create it. But i'm really pleased with it as a first attempt and others seem to think so too, which is fantastic. Especially when they go out of their way to say so. It never fails to cheer me up!

If you are in a new area and don't know many people, or just typically have Friday evenings free, why not get a job in a bar? It doesn't have to be a noisy pub, there are lots of smaller cafes, restauraunts and bars that always need reliable staff for a Friday / Saturday evening and if they are short may be happy to take you for just one evening a week or even one a fortnight. Our local arts center employs staff on this basis, with occasional weekday evenings and weekend lunchtimes thrown in. It's a friendly place and although it doesn't pay a lot, every little helps - if it's enough to tip the balance between having a bit left over and not quite having enough it's worth it!
Other things I've done are driving a nightbus (met loads of lovely people) and sticking address labels onto envelopes - this was great as you can watch the tele while you do it.
Or you could try being an Avon representative if there's not one in your area, and meet your neighbours while you earn a few pennies.

We are doing a similar sort of thing, has anyone heard of Kleeneze?
