Hi I thought I’d start this thread and see if anyone has any ideas of making extra money, business ideas etc. I’ll post a few of my ideas too when I get a spare minute. No MLM

Stock photography can be a good one, if you're into travelling (even if its just around the UK), or set up a space in your house to shoot things. (Not necessarily people, but flat lays and such)

Depop I find can be a bit better than Ebay - especially if you're selling vintage type pieces or anything 90s/00s.

Udemy - I used to follow a Youtuber who made a lot of short courses on there on things like PR, English, blogging, photo-taking etc. I think she made a full-time income out of it.

I have to be careful with my contract at work so it’s not a conflict at work but I was thinking of freelance programming/analytics. I’m an R and Python wiz and I know I’m useless at anything creative so just playing to my strengths. Does come in handy for recreational things too like tracking Twitter sentiment on particular topics or building apps to make my life easier.

How did you get into/learn how to do programming/analytics stuff like R and Python was it through a degree, course or part of your main job? Im quite interested in doing a course in this area as it fascinates me but not a clue where to start!

Buying cheap tat:blankets from alibaba and selling them for over inflated prices aka Sarah Ingham.
Joking aside any kind of hobby or skill you have is always a good bet.

What about marched betting? I’ve made just over £200 doing that in two weeks. It’s perfectly legal, tax free and it’s not actually gambling.
It’s a little complex at first, but once you get the hang of it it is so easy, I signed up to a website like oddsmonkey to help me with it.

I keep looking at that but I’m completely clueless with it! How did you get started?

Is FM not another one of these pyramid/MLM schemes I see everywhere I look online?


If you're good at typing (ie: quick and accurate) some websites pay people to type documents which have been dictated. I've done this a couple of times now ! My job as a legal secretary involves a lot of typing anyway, but in my spare time I thought "I know I'm good at it, so why not earn a bit extra from it?". You do have to be quick to snap up to assignments though as they get taken fairly quickly. Just google paid online typist work.

It is, however with a massive difference. You pay nothing of your own money in to it, therefore are not able to lose any either. I've earned £2k since I started in August.

I just went on to team profit and odds monkey and I just read all the tutorials and watched the videos first so that I could get confident before I started. Once you understand the concept it’s so easy to do. It’s just getting your head around it in the beginning that’s the hard bit. :)
