To ask how I can make some extra money

AlwaysSkint · 24/06/2019 20:30

I'm sick of hardly having any money. It's rubbish.

Anyone got any ideas of how to bring in some extra cash 'adhoc'?

The only thing I could give up is my cleaner but for £20 fortnightly she is such a life saver and not worth giving up.

What are you qualified to do?
What are you good at?

Look into matched betting. Seriously.

Mryog12 · 24/06/2019 21:00

Matched betting is good

russianoak · 24/06/2019 21:02

Could you link to the best matched betting threads. Am sure there was a really comprehensive one but can't find it. Thank you!

Bookworm4 · 24/06/2019 21:03

I think if your skint you don’t need a cleaner.

What is matched betting @Ifigotherewillbedouble?

Look at Profit Accumulator for a comprehensive explanation of Matched Betting - I made about £2k in two months but stopped as I went back to work after mat leave and just didn’t have time.

@Merryoldgoat Shock nearly 2K?!?!

I have thought about doing it many times,and shamefully I'm shit at maths :( is it very complicated to get into?

Mamabear12 · 24/06/2019 21:23

What kind of job do you have? If you have free time mid day, you could start walking dogs. I think its 15 per hour per dog and you can have 4 dogs at a time.

Yup - basically owing to a miscalculation I realised I couldn’t afford the first month of childcare in advance after mat leave.

Watched the profit Accumulator stuff and joined the FB community (Team Profit) and started very slowly.

Tips:

Open a separate bank account as it’s easier to keep track and then no need for all the spreadsheets and trackers.

Only use funds you can afford.

Don’t get sucked into casino too early - only do the risk-free signups - I made a separate £1k off casino in the same time.

It isn’t complicated but it requires concentration and you mustn’t rush. I started with £75 and that got me there in 2 months.

I don’t know how long-term it is as offers start drying up but there are some dedicated people making really good money.

Also google team profit - they have some good guides too.

Utterly irrelevant - as long as you can read and have decent compare skills you’ll be fine.

Merryoldgoat · 24/06/2019 22:40

Comprehension, not compare

You can win money for playing some games, I know Scratch Day Spin Day and Scratch Royale really pay out.
