I want to make some extra money

[mummytopebs]

Anyone any ideas, i want to really concentrate on paying off debt - Anyone got any ideas on how to make a couple of extra pounds? Was thinking about trying to make cards and selling them or something like that, can you make quite a bit by this? Or any other suggestions

Hi I am in the same boat and have recently been selling lots of things on ebay. Not sure if you've tried it or not, but a couple of years ago I made about £1000 in a few months! And it was all stuff lying about my house that I didn't use. I find that well cared for clothes, baby stuff and jewellery all sell well. Just don't make the mistake that I do and spend just as much as you earn on there!!!

Take in a foreign student............?

Second job, maybe? What do you do at the moment, and can you increase your hours?

I once took on a second job as had run up £3k worth of debt. Managed to clear it off over 3 months working weekends and evenings.

I don't think card making is going to bring in more than pennies unless you do it on a seriously large scale, talk to buyers in shops etc.

Have had some of my dd old clothes on ebay all really nice stuff but it doesnt seem to sell to well, i dont know why!!

I do 3 days at work and dont really want to do overtime cos i would have to pay more nursry fees. What was osbourne books someone had mentioned on another thread?

this is the thread you need - sell old shoes on ebay

I sell on e-bay, just remember if you are buying/making to sell you need to register yourself as a business and pay Tax which is a lot of hassle (filling out tax returns etc..).

I tried card making a few years ago and didn't make anything (more a hobby really).

I like blondissimo's idea .

I sell mainly childrens clothes and adults clothes but have only been doing it for a few weeks so not sure how much i am making yet .

Ha at the shoes link. A friend of a friend used to buy really cheap thongs from Primark then take a picture of herself wearing them, post it on ebay and sold them for about a tenner each! Something tells me it was not women looking for some new underwear...........

You could try Phoenix Cards? I have a friend who does this and I am sure she does quite well from it. I have another friend who makes cards but struggles.

Ebay

Are you a good cook? You could host Pampered Chef parties?

Vie? (Was virgin vie but has been sold)

Foreign Students?

They're nice those phoenix cards and they're cheaper than cards from the shop so you're not trying to sell something that's MORE than the alternative.

Hi Mummytopebs,
I'm a Phoenix trader so if you have any questions, please let me know. Here's some more info.

I really like it and it's a fun way to earn some income and fit it around your own hours.
