Making extra income

5 replies

I want to make a few changes to life in 2022 and need to increase income levels a bit, I’ve read the £10 a day threads but they’re a bit overwhelming.
Last year I really cracked ebay and sell all our unwanted items and flip some too. I’ve done well on surveys although they are rather time consuming and I’m time poor.
I’m looking at doing some matched betting and maybe selling ( I’ve got my hard hat on ready) well worn shoes (because I’ve got a few pairs) For the latter where is best to sell?
Longer term throughout next year I m aiming to move into e books, affiliate marketing and download products.
Any other suggestions that I’m overlooking?

Matched betting is definitely an option. You will make money from it 100% as long as you follow the guides.

Also think about reducing your expenses, as this has the same effect as bringing in extra money and might be less time consuming to do.

Eg cancelling subscriptions you don't use, negotiating the cost of your broadband and mobile phone services, switching to cheaper supermarkets, eating cheaper food such as frozen fish and berries instead of fresh, seasonal fruit and vegetables instead of asparagus, sprouting broccolli etc etc.

For a systematic guide to reviewing your finances, have a look at:

It might be framed as 'get out of debt' but most people can use some of the advice to increase their disposable income by making more money and/or cutting their expenses.

I’m going to try the matched betting.

Expenses are currently as low as they go. I have been through them (and go through them regularly). There’s no extras such as hairdressers or going out. Spending will increase in summer but income usually does as well!

Hmm, proceed with caution. Certainly don't get involved with mlm as you'll loose more than you earn.
Can you improve your situation by taking nightclasses, speculate to accumulate that way?

If you’re a two parent family (I’m assuming you have kids) could you babysit? You could then do your matched betting while the kids sleep.
