‘make some extra money’: I don’t think I have ever heard anyone say that I have way too much money
and I rarely hear anyone say that they have enough money, so I’m guessing an injection of cash is always welcomed, especially if you’re not exactly living the lifestyle you want to.
Here are some creative ways you can make some extra money.
Sell your stuff
When was the last time you had a proper cleanout?
Odds are you have soo much stuff you don’t need and aren’t using. I know I tend to hang on to things “just in case” I need them someday but never do. My rule of thumb is that if I haven’t used it in a year, it must go.
Sell it on eBay, Gumtree or even go to your local boot sale to make a little extra cash.
Enhance your skills
If you want to start a change career or take your current career to the next level to get paid more, consider enhancing your existing skills. Job experience is a big part of negotiating your wage and getting paid what you’re worth, as are skills and education. Going back to education is a great way to make more money.
Turn something you love into a make some extra money
Would you love doing something that could make you money in your spare time? If the answer is yes, then why aren’t you? Whether you like to spend your free time writing, making jewellery or whatever, I’m sure there is a way to make it into a professional side hustle to generate an income. Just think creatively.
Let people know what you can do.
Talking about the services, I have a friend who is a teacher who was short of money, now she tutors children in her spare time to get extra money. If you can sew, offer your service to friends and relatives by repairing and altering clothing. Or if you can build websites…..
Don’t be shy to talk about your work; ask your neighbours, friends and family to spread the word about your skills.
Get a part-time job
Not the most creative solutions but a solution. If you have spare time in the evening or on the weekends, why not get a part-time job? If you have experience in retail, you could apply at your fave clothing shop or in you
r local supermarket, so not only will you be getting more pocket money, you will save money using your employee discount.
Become a secret shopper.
There are loads of companies that offer secret shopping, which means you basically get paid to shop! Ok, there is more to it than that; you shop in certain shops, dine out in restaurants, evaluate the service you received and feed the information back to the company.
