I hope this well you people
Tell me about that please im very interested.
The only survey site worth joining is YouGov. I am on my way to my third £50 in 9 years.
It is called connecting. A special way of helping people in exchange of building my network. Let me describe it.
I usually look around and talk with my contacts and ask about their job, business and I help them by introducing them to other people.
If you have a business or involved in some affiliate program just like I am your best prospects are not those people who you know but those who are in contact with people who they know.
So after I did some good with them and helped them out I usually as whether they know someone who are interested in “the solution your business, or affiliate program offers to a problem” and surprisingly they are fast to provide you with numbers.
This is powerful guys so make money with it.
Best way of earning money by rating and reviewing songs for a lot of money.

I am particularly fond of 62days.com as it’s a site offering to appraise higher price items, and you have the choice of whether you’d like to keep the money or get back your item with no penalty.
You have now also peaked my interest in being a mystery shopper!
Thank you for this great post.
I have heard awful things about these instant loan companies and a friend of mine recommended 62days.com
It is an absolutely fantastic service! I sent them a picture and details of some jewellery, they gave me a reasonable quote, and the best thing about it is I returned the money back to them a month later and they gave me my jewellery back in the same condition.
I basically got a free loan for a month!
I never usually post things on-line but I was so happy with the service, I felt obliged to let as many people know about it as I could!
I would recommend this to anyone who is tight for cash and needs a loan or even if you want to sell something of yours. Much easier than going through the hassle process of ebay or something similar.
Raid every part of your house where you are likely to have stashed money––money boxes, coat pockets, jean pockets, spare bags, vacation bags, down the back of the couch, underneath furniture, in jars stashed at the back of the cupboard, etc. Think! It may be possible that there are lots of coins that can be discovered and they might even be enough to cover a grocery run or night out.
Everybody wants to make money in the times of inflation but the method adopted must be safe enough. I suggest gold and Silber kaufen
trading is also a good way of making money.
Spcifically like the sell jewellery one. Might have a good clearout at home and see what bits and pieces I can up with that I don’t wear any more.
We’re really chuffed that you’ve found our tips useful. 62 Days is a great company so make sure you give them a go. Thanks for your feedback,
the Moneymagpie team
Found several jewellery bits and bobs that I no longer needed (or even knew I had) and they gave me a good price for it. Even better, I didn’t have to do much, they organized the whole thing for me.
Their customer service followed it up, explained me all that’s happening and even phoned to let me know that the money is on its way.
Really great tip, once again thanks a lot moneymagpie for bringing it to my attention.
I’m looking to earn some quick cash, I have another baby on the way and want to do what I can when I can, or am able to before my bump gets too big! I looked through your site, thanks for the great tips, I will do some online surveys, mystery shopping for sure. Can I just say, the section you added on make money from your car is priceless… I never would have though of it. I read the comments from your readers and I decided to sign up with company called Advertise On My Car. I signed up and it told me that I can have £100 a month for adverts just on my doors of the car taking the mileage into account and my car make. I’m really pleased, sooner they get the advert on, the better, can put that in an ISA account, get free money from driving and hopefully get a little interest if I’m lucky. Really pleased for your advice thanks again
That’s great news! Thanks so much for letting us know, and good thinking regarding putting the extra cash into an ISA account – smart woman. Good luck with the new baby.

When it comes to trying to make money using online surveys, the key is to sign up for as many free programs you can. Each program may only offer you a few survey opportunities each month. However, if you have ten companies offering you a few each month, you will have a better chance at actually making some money from your time. So, don’t be afraid to sign up as often as you can!
Overall, there is money to be made with online surveys. Be sure to use these tips on ways to earn money doing online surveys and before long you will enjoy those extra funds rolling in. In addition, many survey companies will often send you free merchandise or coupons as well. You may even be asked to test out various products. It is a lot of fun to participate in online survey programs, so go ahead and give it a try. A typical survey takes less than ten minutes and might even be enjoyable to you. Just don’t tell too many of your friends, or you might not get as many survey opportunities as you would like!
Hope this helps those desperate for cash in a hurry. God Bless you all.

My name is Lauren Forbes and I work for the team here at Moneymagpie.com – lovely to meet you! Take a look at our article on how to make money if you’re under 18: http://www.moneymagpie.com/article/how-to-make-money-if-youre-under-18
Let us know what you think, it would be great to have your feedback.
Look forward to hearing from you
P.S. Stay away from the poker!
As my mother said, “with good manners and a proper eduction, you can dine with the Queen of England”
Great site! I must also say that Jasmine’s book is a very good read..go buy!
If you own a website it can be as simple as adding a few links. When people click on the links and buy, you get a percentage of the revenue. WHy not use dead space on your website to make money
Amazon and Clickbank favourites and at the moment I’m having particular success with Seek-a-date (Probably because it’s not all over the place)
Yes, they only produce a small amount of money, some might even say it’s not worth the hassle but it covers my ISP bills and pays for a few beers every moth.

I’m also an avid bagain hunter, where you get brand new goods from places like Matalan, TK Maxx, Market Places, Second Hand Furniture shops, as I recently had to furnish my new flat. You have to make it enjoyable.
I also have an ISA, the interest on there really did help me.
Also have a look at your local pound shops, it’s not always as you can expect, as you can get really good stuff from there.
Certain supermarkets also have good deals.
I have recently been discharged from the Army due to injury and haven’t been compensated due to it having been an injury that first developed before I joined.
I am stuck in a vicious circle of payday loans that over the months have been building bigger and bigger in size. I receive my last wage from the Army at the end of this month.
I’ve begun working in a kitchen as a Kitchen Porter, which I can just about get by on when it comes to my everyday expenses (rent, food, bills, etc… the usual!)
However, I need to make a couple of thousands pounds within the next month or I face major repercussions financially and will hit the point of no recovery!
I think I have a good aptitude for writing, but are there actually reasonable ways of making money over the net through article writing, or ghost-writing?
To be honest, I am absolutely desperate to earn extra money outside of my fulltime hours.
Many thanks, I’ve found this site to be genuinely informative and helpful.
So sorry to hear about this. You’re going through a tough time.
I’m sure you know about them already but just in case, do speak to the forces charities http://www.armedforcesday.org.uk/supporters/supporting_charities.aspx to see if they have any emergency funding available. If you don’t ask you don’t get!
Do make sure you also talk to one of the debt charities like CCCS, the CAB or National Debtline. Also don’t forget Christians against Poverty who are likely to have a group near you and could help. Any of these organisations can stop you getting into serious trouble if the cash doesn’t come in.
You can make money through writing although it’s not easy. To start with I suggest you get into writing letters to magazines as we show here http://www.moneymagpie.com/article/quick-cash-and-prizes-for-writing-letters-to-magazines. You can make £200 for very little effort, particularly if you’ve got some good pictures. Also, set up your own blog now so that you get practice in writing and also have something to show for yourself if you want to say you’re a writer.
Also get some cash in by signing up to focus groups and doing part-time work for marketing agencies http://www.moneymagpie.com/article/being-a-market-researcher.
Take a look around the Make Money section of Moneymagpie and you’ll find loads of really good ideas to get some money in. However, make sure you talk to the debt advice charities at the same time.
Let us know how you do! Jasmine
I know it’s not along the same lines as writing, but have you ever considered clinical trials? If you’re looking to gain a quick couple of thousand pounds and you are healthy, you could consider it. I have considered it, but there are factors which mean I can’t do it. I would if I could though.
Good luck whatever you decide to do. I’m in a difficult situation too, with debts I just want to get rid of!
Kerrie
I am living in Canada and came across your site by chance but I am finding it very useful although I cannot use many of the sites you mention in the UK. Have just run off your article on mailing letters to magazines and would ask if it is possible for you to make the articles more printer friendly!! When I clicked “Print This Article” I expected a print friendly version but had to print 10 (ten) pages just to get the two pages I needed. Just a suggestion!
Thanks for a great e-magazine

I have also read pieces by landlords/ ladies who have combined this with social enterprise work.
Ive been on both sides of the coin now; awful landlords etc and flat shares and found this was all useful experience.
Oh and I watched plenty of DIY horror stories and just had a go at jobs once my health improved, eg clearing the drains ( didnt need to pay for a colonic irrigation after that) , painting and learned from professionals.
I have turned my hand to gardening and planted herbs/ fruit and vegetables. So much damage has been done by paving over front and back gardens. I intend branching ( pun intended)out with this next year , either selling plants or doing some gardening. I was sharing a garden and trying to feed myself but sadly someone got access and stole my tools before Christmas , but Ill start again once I can afford new tools and a secure garage door. Alternatively, plenty of people are looking for peices of land to garden for free and quite often people share the produce.
Keep going………..
If you have the need, the time and the health to do it you can and I am grateful for sites like yours that gave me ideas that have helped me survive and I mean SURVIVE.
Thank you
This lady is on here giving ideas to people about ways to make quick cash NOT on the web and you guys are being $#@$@ about it. im just saying shes throwing out ideas, its up to you all to get up off your #%$# and do something rather than collect BENEFITS
or $#$#ing it up by sell DRUGS.
I’m gonna try baking some cakes for a car boot and selling some old junk maybe this will make me some extra cash.
We’re sorry you feel that way about the article, but if you’re interested in making some extra cash through baking you might find this article very helpful: http://www.moneymagpie.com/article/407/make-money-selling-cakes/
All the best,

like 5p each survay which takes 20 mins how is that quick and easy
Renting a room or a driveway is hardly ‘quick’ or ‘easy’.
drinks/soda cans sell them at your school and there you have it.
if this works repl too me: jwp2000@hotmail.co.uk
I am currently looking for Sales Reps (commission only) to sell our online video services and digital signage. £150.000 each sale.

All others are also welcome to apply.
I have just noticed your website on a search engine, im in need of some extra income, i have just had a baby and i already had a two year old, i took a 10,000 pound drop after my first daughter and now only work part time, we have lost our house and got debts that need to be paid, im trying to start up a cake business from home which isnt doing well as many “friends” who said they wanted cakes have gone somewhere else which is upsetting, things are getting to tight now, i have tried online surveys but they arent good enough or quick enough they never seem to have any for me to do, any information would be great.
thank you for your time
Sorry to hear about your business not doing so well unfortunately many people have cottoned on to the cake wagon so may be get paid to do something that can be done everyday. My friend’s mum goes around to the local business park offering to do washing and ironing for business men and women. She charges about £10 per bag (ironing only) and sits in front of Eastenders doing it. If not there’s Avon and Betterware selling which is very popular.
I hope this helps and wish you the best of luck.
I was in your exact same position as you at your age and what I found to be quick and easy money was mystery shopping. My friend introduced it to me and its quite good. However, it’s not the best pay in the world (£3-5 per assignment) and sometimes you don’t get a lot of jobs. But hey, it’s extra cash that you didn’t have before, right? Also, some assignments you can keep whatever you’ve brought or it could even be a free meal, which is a bonus for us students. I wouldn’t suggest it as a full-time job though, more as temporary way of making money. Hoped this helped

I have a disability which means I am unable to work, I have been looking for some sort of online work or envelope stuffing, I have put up ads asked around. Used to do avon but didnt make enough and was spending more than I was making. I have tried surveys etc becomes a pain when you get ‘ do not fit criteria’ everytime. So wondering if anyone has any ideas, and any sort of home work typing etc… that is legit and won’t cost me ?? thanks
Are you interested in adding another income stream to your site? Based on the fact that getting in at the top of programs is a good thing I wondered if you had heard about Zubie, which launched mid Jan. Feel free to reply and let me know what you think about it, It’s a good old fashioned forced matrix program.
David Elton, Reading UK.
Many thanks.
The best way to sell your Marvel Comics is by:
1. Holding a Carboot Sail
2. Have you considered selling them on Ebay/Amazon]
or 3. giving them to a local comics store/ (if there old) antiques
Hope it helps

The Idea of making Easy money “0n Line” is a CON.
Most of the schemes are Very Time Consuming, Tiresome, Poorly Paid & Full of Empty Promises.
The Only Effective way is to DIRECT YOUR ENERGY INTO THINKING OF A “NEED.” SERVICE IT & GIVE VALUE FOR MONEY.
ALTERNATIVELY, THE GENERAL ELECTION IS UPON US, GET ELECTED & BECOME AN MP.AND LIVE OFF THE STATE.
(Assuming the ring is gold!)
You often get the best prices from jewellers on the high street (as they take into account the craftsmanship of the jewellery itself when offering you a price – not just how much gold it contains).
It’s normally worth getting a few quotes – don’t just accept the price of the first jeweller.
Will I make enough money to travel 3 times a year..lol
Full of fantastic and interesting content,great to look thru.
I just popped on your site as a result of your Radio 1 interview, I lost my in December 2008 and am unable to get another … too many factors to go into… anyway I tried y hand at affiliate marketing, which I must say I wished I tried years ago. Just need a paypal account and a cickbank account and a littl? savvy
I now earn enough to pay my mortgage ad won’t ever be worrying about that stuff again I really suggest people who are smart online try it. What do you think of online marketing?

Geoff
Talking about making money or pocket money??
Real money making?????
PLEASE PLEASE TELL….
I have created a link on my blog back to this page in case others find it useful.
Some send off cheques when you reach a certain target and others send vouchers instead. Some of these take a few months to see teh rewards but some take a few weeks… I get sent about 4-5 surveys PER DAY so it speeds up the process of getting the benfits!!
Hope this helps anyone xx
Try Lightspeed Panel; i get my payments by paypal (at 115 points per £), the surveys come sporadically, but when you get a good patch, i’ve earnt up to £10 a month. Made enough to buy a couple of christmas presents last year, and overall I’ve probably made around £100-150 in a year with them.I use Valued Opinions as well, for the HMV vouchers (of which i have received £20 so far, and just waiting for my next £10), although it can sometimes take over a month for the payment from the completed surveys to be recognised. I am on YouGov, but as they wont pay out until the account reaches £50, i’m not expecting to get any money from them for another couple of years; after over 12 months with them, i’ve “earnt” less that £15.
iPoints is another good site, which is points based. You can get poiints from buying things, signing up to newsletters, and even receiving mobile SIM cards; its slow going, but after 6ish months with them, i’ve received a DVD completely free – didnt even have to pay for P&P – and i’m about 3/4 of the way to my next DVD.
The only thing I imagine is against me is my age (40) and the fact I dont have a degree. I am very disheartened as I consider myself a young at heart savvy mum with plenty of opinions and life experience who has a lot to offer.
So far the only thing I’ve achieved is wasted personal time and entries into a lot of competitions…..is this just a scam or am I doing something wrong?
Any advice?
