    Hi :)

    I'm currently looking for some money making ideas whereby I can make myself some extra cash in my spare time. I'm saving up to surprise my partner with something special and as I work only the 4 days per week, I have the other 3 days to myself which means I can concentrate on making some spare cash. I've just recently started selling games on Amazon and PlayTrade which brings in about £10 profit on every item sold, but as I'm new business is slow and it can be hard to compete with the more established sellers (though I have excellent feedback already). What other sort of things can you recommend to me? I'm very grateful for anything at all that you may wish to share.

    Thank you so much :)

    There are quite a few ways in which to generate an online income and Fiverr.com is all the rage at the moment. This is a site which allows you to buy and sell gig service mainly relating to SEO and internet marketing and you get paid $5 for each task that people order from you. There are a wide and varied selection of tasks ou can advertise including -

    ~ Article writing service
    ~ Building squidoo lens
    ~ Backlinks
    ~ Banner design
    ~ Twitter followers
    ~ Facebook fanpage likes
    ~ You Tube channel views
    ~ Linkedin profile views
    ~ Ebook design

    If you have a talent for any of these or any other marketing products then, you can open a free account with Fiverr.com register your main Paypal account and start advertising your services in their marketplace. Only ever undertake a task you are good at and can complete within 40 minutes and once you start to get orders and positive feedback, you'll gain more orders and a nice part time income

    Best of Luck

    On the flip side you could broker the gigs on fiverr. Some people on there do stuff for peanuts which actually sells for much higher. Pick a few gigs and then sell 'your service'. When people buy you just purchase the gig on fiverr.
    It's quite easy money really - have a look at facebook likes/twitter followers/xrumer blasts and more.

    If you are already selling stuff perhaps you could write some press releases to give yourselve a bit more exposure online.

    There are a few sites that allow free press release distribution.

    Some of these are quite good I believe -

    http://www.the-media.com/
    http://www.i-newswire.com
    http://www.free-press-release.com/
    http://www.newswiretoday.com
    http://www.theopenpress.com/
    http://www.transworldnews.com/

    Hope this helps.

    Article writing and other such jobs should bring you some money, I guess. There are also a couple of freelancer sites that have posted this sort of jobs, maybe you should start looking around those sites for some extra money making opportunities.

    i've had a wee look on smobs uk and thought it was decidedly dodgy - there are no terms and conditions - the website said "insert your terms and conditions here" there was no faq and nothing to tell you how much you will earn or if there are any deductions ... was going to sign up and offer my services but think i will look elsewhere for the time being

    Oh yea, didnt look at that! Guess this is why im still a MSE noob! I have emailed them and asked why the details aren't on there. I will keep an eye on them for the time being.
    Things are far easier than you think.
