How can I make extra £8,000 in a year?

[terri65]

Both me and DH earn a pretty good wage but even with saving a good chunk of our income each month + bonuses we worked out that we still need extra savings of £9-£11K on top of what we will be saving from our income between now and next January. We're looking to relocate and need this money in order to make it work and I've been trying to look for remote working jobs I could do on top of my FT job. Does anyone have any recommendations on how we can boost our income each month? I was also looking into matched betting but I'm not sure how much we could get with that? I would really really appreciate if someone could give me an insight and/or tips on what we could do?

£8-9K sorry not £9-11

Lodger?

Lodger? AirBnB? - just has to be a back bedroom and clean, plus a keysafe. Park on my drive/JustPark? - you do have to be somewhere people actually want to park but I regularly use these rather than carparks.

Can you offer tutoring?
Be ruthless with your household budget and cut right back for a year - lots of tips on this board.
Sell everything you don't want/ need - this may only bring in a few hundred but that's still the equivalent for a fair amount of hours worked.
Rent out your driveway.
Dog walking
Shelf stacking in ther supermarket at night.

You can do lots of micro tasks for companies like Appen, Lionbridge etc.
There's surveys, matched betting and various other possibilities. It takes time to get going but it's doable.

Find a better paid job?

Evening and weekend work around the day jobs to get that much.

Wow peachy. Bet the OP hadn't thought of that. You should be a lifestyle coach.

I did £2.5k last year matched betting - could have easily done double but I took it really slowly.

Money mustache website for a fresh take on saving.

I got £10k before tax once for just over a week of filming at our house (sadly never repeated after that so probably not a sure fire way to earn £10k)

You could also look at websites like www.peopleperhour.com/ and taskrabbit - my son used the latter and we saw a very interesting man who put some furniture together at our house for a fee in one room. My student son does Deliveroo (on a bike) and Uber Eats in a car.

Lodger and airbnb if your tenancy etc allows it.

£8k is a lot. Do you have any specific skills that you can utilise?

Well OP hadn’t mentioned that actually, so seems like the most obvious way to me.

Dog sitting at weekends can be really good. You can charge about £30 a day and you get a dog to look after!

If you have any experience then care work? Lots of weekend, early morning and evening shifts.

Lodger for 9 months at £400 a month (average rate approximately) = £3600

Bar work for both of you 2 nights a week at 4 hours each = 16 hours @ £9 would be £5472 over 9 months gross
