I bloody wish I had the confidence to become an influencer and have it all handed to me on a plate. I need to come off Instagram as it’s so frustrating I work hard as it is and shouldn’t really have to get a second income, so to have it shoved in your face daily that they get it handed on a plate is infuriating.
As I said, no offence to anyone that sells juice plus or perfume, but I want something I can do without having to build a team.
I’ve been signing up to survey sites but you get about 50p a survey, if you’re lucky to find a survey that’s suitable to you x
That would be perfect for me if I could do it outside of my working hours!

You could try upcycling
People are always giving away furniture that you could paint/add new handles etc and sell on. If my husband see a something someone has thrown out he always stops and puts it in the car. He does ask first if he can take it. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff people get rid of. Throwaway culture! Push bikes, exercise equipment, fridges and freezers all sorts. He puts them in the garage, tests them, cleans them and then sells them. He comes across something every week almost. If I'm with him I won't let him stop because I'm too embarrassed but he really doesn't care. I'm not sure if he should declare his "extra erenings" or not but he does have a full time job and pays his taxes etc so I don't feel guilty about that part. One man's trash is another man's treasure!

I do matched betting, definitely legit. I use one of the online resources and I've made 3k since March.
I literally fit it round all the other things I have on.. I know others that do more and have made more.
Took me over a year to start because I was so skeptical and it sounded too good to be true, I know nothing about sports or betting but it's honestly been a life saver.

What about some online dictation typing? I’ve never done it but I’m sure someone on here could point you in the direction of a reputable site.
I know what you mean and I completely agree with you. Wish I had the confidence to just buy followers and beg brands to collab with me but I like my privacy and wouldn't want to come across as an influencer to my family...
I would love to save up a few grand to put down as a house deposit though.

Wonder if there's a market for fatty granny pantsSome thing ladies could do is sell used underwear. There seems to be a demand for that. I have no idea who buys it but I have heard it is a no risk very profitable business.
Don't think it would work for guys who need extra money.
Having said that, if any lady wants to buy my used underwear just let me know.

Your best bet is to use any skills you already have and try to find part time WFH / freelance jobs based on that. Obviously be aware of scams
Realistically speaking, it’s very hard to earn much money online aside from that. Too many scams and pyramid schemes. Being an influencer requires luck and most seem to already have enough money anyway. Sex work (online) is a possibility if you’re comfortable with that, but even then the market is oversaturated so often there’s not a lot of money in it
The only survey website I have made ‘decent’ money from is prolific academic, and that is consistently about £30/month which obviously isn’t much at all
People who do absolutely everything (surveys, receipt scanning, cashback, free spins, etc) seem to be able to earn an extra couple hundred a month, but honestly there are not enough hours in the day
If you’ve got money to invest, matched betting is considered a relatively safe way of making easy money

Absolutely not. I was and still am awful at maths. The site I use has an oddsmstcher so it works out the calculations for you or you can use a specifically designed calculator for free.
One thing I will advise is read all the advice and guides on an offer, I know people who have rushed in without reading the guides fully (there's step by step ones) and made mistakes and lost money.

Does anyone earn any extra money alongside their full time jobs/being a mummy, that aren’t pyramid schemes?
With everything that’s going on at the moment it’s made me think about this a lot more and as much as I would like to keep my spare time I’m up for doing a bit extra for a little while.
Not interested in Selling perfume or juice plus etc (no offence to anyone that does), but am interested to hear what others do

I also have more respect for myself than begging. There’s true influencers that work with certain brands and then there’s people that are blatantly begging for freebies and it makes me cringe.

I thought this thread might get shut down as thought they might think I was trying to flog something
So refreshing to hear Others are in the same position

Thank you! Prolific is a site I had signed up to but 30 a month won’t get me far. Especially along a full time job.
Do you have any more info on matched betting?

I was a mystery shopper and home tester about 10 years ago and seriously it was more hassle than what it was worth, I done 2 and gave up, suitable missions very rarely cropped up, I was offered 2 in about 6 weeks, one was a rainforest cafe inside a rail station and the other was to buy a babys mobile from mothercare. You got to keep the items plus you got a very small reimbursement for travel. It just wasnt worth it. I was also once sent out a giant box of walkers sunbites to test.
I also did survey sites but again, suitable surveys cropped up once in a blue moon, you also had to fill out pages worth of survey just to see if you were suitable to do the main survey which earned you about 20 pence. Just too time consuming for what it was worth.
Personally I am looking into the online fetish scene. My sister sells feet pictures on Instagram every now then, she claims you only need about 2 or 3 very loyal people. I've noticed upon looking it up there is actually a market for "scally feet". However it seems to lean predominantly towards male homosexual folk... so I am wondering if there is a niche for women with chavvy feet because I will well be in! I ain't shy either so I am seriously missing a trick!
I have a few friends who earn a killing in escort work, they were able to fund holidays, plastic surgery, cars etc. On real hard times, I once enquired but my friend seriously put me off it. She said her honest opinion is that no one should go into it lighthearted and although I had a hard exterior my heart was too delicate and told me about some of her past clients. However not all want sexual contact and apparently these were more hard work than the wham bam thankyou mam clients... one just wanted her to sit in a house coat and slippers and chain smoke fags one after the other.
Wax melt merchant I suppose but the market is so saturated these days.
There are other ways of earning money on the side but I am sure any past criminal activity wont be appreciated here

Yes I have a full-time demanding job and I am saving as much as I can every month but waiting for payday after 4 weeks is such a long time. If I could do something during the week for a few hours and save 5K in few months then that would be a dream come true

If I was to sign up to Appen etc. Do I need to register as self employed as you are considered to be contracting through them? I don’t want to be law breaking

That’s exactly what I need it for. It’s so hard, and I work so hard which makes it even more frustrating
