Ideas to earn from home

[Helpmeearnsomemoneyplease]

Hi, I imagine this has been covered before but I’m looking for ideas on how to earn extra money from home. My evenings are generally free, I’m well educated (couple of degrees) with, I imagine, lots of transferable skills.
I’m already signed up to online surveys but these aren’t frequent enough to make any difference.
needs to be something I can do sitting at the dining table after a day at work but am happy to do something dull as ditchwater to just up our income, does data entry or proofreading still exist?
Thank you for any ideas 🤞🏻

Thank you, haven’t a clue what that is but I’ll take a look this evening.
I’m grateful for all and any suggestions and happy to invest time and energy as long as it pays!

But not selling, that’s not for me.

Try cambly, it’s not massively well paid 12-14 usd an hour and you just talk to people learning English, it’s not formal lessons, just helping people practice convos. I’m not a fan and kinda hate doing it and it can be an utter slog but it’s good for when I have an urgent bill, likewise sign up to crowd gen/appen lionsbridge (I think they’ve changed their name but if you google lionsbridge it will come up) it’s not steady work you can go months without a project but then one pops up, it’s reviewing ai stuff, data entry just basic tasks.

Have you looked at the £10 a day threads on Money matters board?

I have used all of these with varied results. Top one is the best. Some people say they are scams but they are not scams, it's just that if you don't pass their entrance requirements you sometimes don't get a rejection notification you just get zero projects.

You can look into matched betting as well (it's not gambling as the whole matching part of it covers your losses).

There was something called CRISPR or something which I didn't qualify for but apparently paid well.

The £10 a day thread is a good one on the money matters board.

Would you consider becoming an independent travel agent? I’ve just signed up to a company that does this because I wanted discounts on my own travel and it’s been really good so far. I’m not interested in booking for anyone else’s holidays or starting a business but I know plenty of people that do that side of things and earn good money as a side hustle, working flexible hours from home. If you’re interested let me know and I’ll give you the details so you can look into it.

@LJ125 im interested in this too please

Yes proofreading is still a thing, I do it and work from home, no vacancy with us I'm afraid but have a look on Indeed, that's where I found my job!

That’s selling, which OP said she didn’t want. It’s also a MLM scheme.

Marking exams

I'd like to follow any suggestions too please. Applying for Data Annotation is on my to-do list and I might quite fancy Cambly.

@Paoo is that rate set by Cambly or do you set your own rate? And is it always an hour? Do they give you topics to talk about to avoid running out of conversation/being repetitive?

Thanks

No the rates are set for you, for the kids one it’s 14 and it comes with lessons, for the adults it’s 12 and you just talk about whatever they want, normally basic stuff, but I’ve talked with a lawyer in Brazil who was fluent and wanted to talk about news articles which he linked me too. You’re not expected to prepare lessons it’s just casual English chats or the person might bring their own online resources they want to go through. It’s rarely a full hour with one person, sometimes it’s just a minute or two so sometimes it will be lower pay if you’re just waiting around as you’re only paid while with someone

I've been doing matched betting for over 8 years and I did very well out of it. The money is nowhere near what it was but there is still money to be made, I use oddsmonkey, its worth a look at least.
Ive also been using this app for the past 5 months and it's not making me big bucks I am saving money on things I would be buying anyway...5% cashback on the weekly shop really helps

Thank you everyone. We’ve had a bonkers few weeks so I’m just sitting down and registering with those that are suitable. Will also take a look at the £10 a day threads.

Just bumping this in case anyone else has suggestions.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

@linny28 what qualifications do you need to be a proof reader please?

Changing bank accounts can get you a quick £175

Hi,
A good qualification in English Language is good, O Level or equivalent, (but may not be essential, depends on the company hiring), I did a proofreading course by the Centre of Excellence before I'd applied so I mentioned that and a strong admin background helps as well. Hope that helps?

Good evening,
I’m currently waiting to hear back from one of the above companies but just wanted to see if anyone had any more useful tips.
I’m looking for extra work, preferably from home to supplement our income. Links would be fabulous.
thank you.

What about buying stuff to sell on Vinted?

https://makemoneywithoutajob.com/ has loads of ideas - I do usertesting, survey sites recommended on there and I’m debating setting up a faceless YouTube channel for passive income

Thanks for the website link, I’ll explore that today.
have a box ready to list on Vinted, just our unwanted clothes. Don’t really have time to go out any buy stuff for this purpose, although would it be worth looking at car boot sales? Any tips?
thank you!!!

Made £200 on Vinted and Ebay! But not much left to sell now…

been accepted for Data Annotation so will crack on with that soon.

using Qmee for surveys but that’s unreliable and very time consuming.

so thank you for the ideas and keep them coming, please!

Could you do some kind of remote tutoring? I do private tutoring at postgrad level. I began on a website but now I just take students by word of mouth and set my own rates. Usually £50-£80 an hour. More for weekends or bank holidays. They pay by bank transfer direct into my US bank account. All mine are international students who may need help with academic English, referencing, bibliography and preparing for a viva etc.

Just as an update I finally had the patience to get going with Data Annotation today, just messing around due about three hours and got $57 so thank you very much for that idea.

Found it quite tiring though, and not sure I can do that regularly after a day at work - open to any more suggestions!

Thank you.
