    I do Usborne childrens books and work around my children. Anyone joining today will get £80.00 worth of books all for FREE. Really great books in the kit and would be easy to sell.

    What sort of places do you sell books at Tracey? Do you manage to sell many online?

    Hi

    I have not got down the route of selling online yet such as ebay but I have a templated website from Usborne where people can purchase online from.

    I sell to Schools - Mums and Tots - Softplay - Parties - School Fairs - Craft Fairs - County Fairs infact anyone you can think of other than people who will sell them on ie shops. I think with Usborne there really is alot of scope for selling.

    Hope that helps

  • Hi to all moneysavers. This is my first post!. Can anyone tell me of any other book selling sites, not green metropolis - am selling with them. Not amazon. Definately not ebay (passionately hate ebay!!!), not abebooks. I have seen another/other sites mentioned but cannot find thread. I love this thread it is really useful and everyones help and information and advice is so freely given and shared. It is wonderful, you feel as if you are among good friends.

    Hi

    Just interested to know what success stories there are from those reading this thread. I have been able to earn a little extra for example by taking a plastering course and then doing a few jobs since. Actually now just about breaking even after costs at the moment, but poised for the rest of the year to make an ok sum of money from this.

    Hi all money savers. I have been reading this thread with great interest. I would like to earn some extra money (I already have two jobs) so surveys or something which could fit around my work patterns (not that keen on ebay). My only concern about online surveys is the security aspect such as identity fraud. How do I know that when I sign up to a company that my details won't get passed on or mis-used?.

    If anyone can recommend some 'safe' sites that would be appreciated

    Thanks

    I have been using this thread for some time now and i have made quiet a bit on the side so i just wanted to share what i have done

    I enrolled in all the mystery shopping websites and i am doing quiet well and i have made around £1500 in nearly a year.

    I have also just started selling usborne books which I love. I get to go and play with my children and make money!!!

    I have also started grass cutting for the old people around me which is quiet nice as i feel that i am helping keep our commuinty happy, at a small fee!

    and last but not least i am just looking into a magazine for new mothers called small steps which could bring me in £3500 for each addition which i put together

    we are also taking our free holiday to florida next year thanks to tescos

    I wouldn't have done any of these if I hadn't looked on this website and read other peoples great suggestions so thankyou everyone
