10 Ways to Make Extra Money
18:00:00
I recently got a new job (mind you, I don't really like it much) but before I got the job I was looking for easy ways to make some money. I haven't tried and tested them all, but other people have found these are successful ways to make some cash.
1. Do some online surveys
Okay, I will be honest with you... You do have to put in a LOT of hours to make any decent money out of doing this, but it could still be an option!
I know some big fashion stores such as New Look and Primark do online surveys which are based on your store experiences, and will enter you into competitions to win their gift cards if you complete them,,, so keep hold of your receipts!
2. Advertise on your blog
I'm pretty sure you need to have a blog to be able to do this, but sites such as Google Adsense can pay you (not much, but this all depends on how often your blog is viewed!)
3. Enter competitions
You're not guaranteed to win anything, but if you don't enter, you don't win...
I used to enter competitions on ITV and in magazines, so keep your eyes open!
4. Sell your old stuff
Apps (and other sites) such as eBay, Depop and many others, are great platforms for selling your old bits and bobs. In the last three months alone, I've managed to make just over £200 just by selling my old clothes, shoes and accessories on eBay and Depop, which I think is fairly good!
This is definitely my favourite option!
5. Do some mystery shopping
You can actually get paid to go shopping, which I think is pretty cool!
Sites such as GFK and UK Mystery Shopper (just examples I've come across in the past) will pay you to visit stores (such as Primark, Tesco and many others!) if you make a purchase and review the store and service. Not bad for a paid shopping trip! It can take a while to get any work, but it's worth a try if shopping is your thing!
8. Dog walking or babysitting
Advertise your services in your local corner shop, post office or superstore, and make sure you include your phone number! Make sure to include some experience or qualifications if you have any (when I say qualifications, I mean for childcare and that kinda thing).
Dog walking will not only get you some extra cash, but also get you some exercise and fresh air! Win win!
9. Youtubing
I'm no expert, and I've never done this, but if you get enough viewers and subscribers you can actually get paid to Youtube! If you get adverts at the start of your videos, this means you can get paid. It's a great hobby to have. I really wish I had the time to be able to do this!
10. Do some blog designing
It can really pay to be good at HTML and Photoshop, and many people will probably pay you to make their blog look fab! If you advertise your services well, through social media and your own blog, I'm sure you'll soon be raking it in!
BONUS!
11. Do some product reviews
Some companies send out freebies if you'll do a review of their product for them. Okay, this doesn't exactly mean you'll make money, but you can always sell it on if it's an item of clothing!
Have you tried to make any extra money, and has it worked?
