Earn at home

I have to disagree with qmee - I do use it but my average is a few quid each month (not to be sniffed at) - but there are quite a few sites out there which are better value IMHO.

Populous and Prolific are my best earning, but also Globaltestmarket, Opinion Outpost, Swagbucks are all decent earners at a higher rate then Qmee. Swagbucks you can put videos on and earn money for doing diddyly squat

(you will need to confirm you are "there" every so often)

I make around £40 a month in Amazon vouchers with Branded Surveys (was Mintvine) I also use Panelbase for cash, I-Say and E-Rewards for Nectar points (e-rewards is supposed to be invite only but you can get lucky signing up) through all the mentioned sites I often get products to test and it has been an awfully long time since I last paid for a mascara, dishwasher tablets or laundry detergent. I've had chocolate, shampoo, alcohol and face creams too!
I do work from home with lots of down times in between tasks though which is how I accumulate so much on the side.

Basically I get ill a lot.
I had tonsilitius at the start of the month that put me out by 4 days at work. Now I have it again. I was ill for 4 days in Feb and a few days off for illness between November and Jan. I'm losing a lot of money and don't understand why i get so ill all the time. I used to get ill a lot as a kid.

But now I'm loosing £200-£400 monthly for illness on top of £8.60 for each time I need medication.

It's all adding up and am stressing alot about money.
I live with my fiance and I pay the bills and food shop. These amounts are put away but I barley have anything to save .

I'm looking for jobs or side jobs I can do at home alongside my job to earn some extra to put away in a health fund and to help cover us when i am unwell.

Thank you in advance

Sounds like you're on a zero hours contract, or have an employer that won't pay sick leave? Did you know that if you are off for a week or more, you can claim sick benefit from the Government but only if you have paid enough NI conts. I always make sure I pay mine voluntarily, even though I'm under the self-employed earnings limit because it means I can get pension credits later in life, sick pay and maternity pay now (should it be needed) and I have claimed on both in recent years.

Any chance you can change jobs? To one with a proper contract and benefits? If you're on a low income, you can can claim for help with health costs. https://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/Healthcosts/Pages/help-with-health-costs.aspx

Can you speak to your Dr about why you might be getting ill? Are you stressed in your job, or elsewhere in your life? How is your diet? Do you exercise regularly? These things aren't always addressable, but better to try and get on top of them now because sometimes these things can be our body's warning signs of a more serious illness developing.

Out of interest, what is a 'websearch evaluator' and how did you get into it? Any specialist training required?

You need to get yourself a cup of something and sit down and start reading some of the threads on this board. See what interests you and what fits your lifestyle. There is no one answer as everyone finds something different, or nothing at all.

One word of warning, those involved with MLM/pyramid schemes tend to start spamming people who ask this sort of open question. Pyramid schemes and MLM schemes are not allowed on MSE and should be treated with utmost caution- so if you get any direct PMs, ignore them or report them.

As previous poster has said, theres lots of guides out there. Much will depend on your available time available to you.

Much of this is trial and error, what works for you, what you enjoy (at least a little) doing.

You are highly unlikely to earn a "lot" of money, but could certainly earn some decent pocket money - so the first thing to do is be realistic over the earning potential. I estimate I would make somewhere in the region of £100 a month from these activities, but I have a full time job.
That said when I am able to do it for a day (like now over half term) - I don't earn that much more to be honest.

You will also find you might not make as much as you think up front because you are still finding your feet and finding what works for you.
