in Boost your income
Hi, thanks for reading.

I have a full time job, but lots of spare time on my hands. I'm wanting to to earn some extra money from home via my computer, but everything seems to be a scam. I'm an administrator so something in that area would be great.

I'm willing to do questionnaires/data entry or pretty much anything where i can earn and work around my own lifestyle. Just nothing like Avon/Kleeneze etc (you know the type).

Any recommended sites would be great, which you have had personal experience with.Dont get me wrong, im not hoping for wonders or ''earn 800 in a day'' i just want to bring some extra pennies in and i'm willing to put the time and effort in.

Thanks again for reading.

    It depends how many 'extra pennies' you want to earn.

    I get £25 a month in vouchers from swagbucks, also just started using clixsense and that is going well, over $10 in just over a week. These are easy things to do whilst watching TV in the evening. hardly any effort needed and it pays for Christmas and birthday presents (as well as little treats for myself!)

    Where can the vouchers be spent?

    I get Amazon vouchers but there are different ones you can request - itunes, new look, m&s, mango, buyagift, john lewis, pizza express and a few others.

    There's no such thing if you want to make a living wage.

    Sorry it wasn't the answer you were looking for.

    Those vouchers don't help to pay off debt or buy food shopping.

    You can exchange your swagbucks for paypal cash then you can spend it in what you want.

    I choose vouchers as you get slightly more for your points and also if you buy birthday gifts etc with vouchers you can then save the cash that you would have spent and you can use that for debt or normal shopping.

    Not true. I know several people who work from home full time, mainly call centre work. I earn a decent part time wage around £500 - £700 and have done for several years froma combination of web search evaluation and call centre work.

    Hi Kaley,

    I agree with comments by Al1x. I'm an administrator too, with a regular job, but it is also possible to make money from swagbucks and Clixsense. I prefer Clixsense myself and have made a few quid which I have cashed out to my paypal account. You can obviously buy loads of stuff via paypal, and I often buy things on ebay which I need for the house, at least that way it feels sort of "free". How much money you make depends entirely on how much time you have to devote to it, but an hour a day and a few hours each weekend can be quite rewarding.

    Drop me a message if you fancy any more info.

    xx
