Moneymagpie is the country’s leading site for safe and legitimate money-making opportunities.

We have up to date information on hundreds of ways to earn a bit on the side and boost your income – and more are being added every week.

But there’s no point in earning extra money if you’re wasting it elsewhere, so we also have a wealth of information on best-buy financial products, plus heaps of articles to help you be a clever consumer and make the most of your money.

The site is completely free to use, and we are pleased to welcome more new readers every week.

Who we are

Moneymagpie was set up in April 2007 by journalist and TV personality Jasmine Birtles.

Because we are an independent site, everything we write is carefully researched and aimed at helping you find the best money-making opportunity, or the best deal, for you.

So why are some links in bold and others not?

Are we bold-ist or something? Heavens no – we love all fonts equally.

However, we feel that you should know which links can generate a small amount of revenue for us. There are two ways in which this clever little gizmo works:

1. (the majority) if you click through to another site to buy some goodies, the site from which you made the purchase might give us a few pence (or even a pound or two) as a ‘thanks for sending us the customer’.

2. (much less common) just by clicking on the link we might earn a few pence.

This revenue is what pays for the staff, the office rent, the computers, the servers, the stationery, the phones and a whole heap of other stuff that you just don’t realize you are going to have to pay for until you get a site like this going.

In other words if you press those bold links we can continue to give you more tips, hints and ideas than you can shake a stick at.

So if you’d like to keep the site free to use  and completely independent, then may we politely, gently, calmly and ever-so-slightly cutely, request that you press those bold links and click through to buy things from our site when we’ve found you a bargain? Can we?

Thank you.

What does it cost you to click these links? How can we put this? Zero. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zip. Yep, it’s absolutely free to click those links.

What about the adverts?

Yes, we have banner advertising to help cover the costs. But we choose our adverts carefully – we only include products which we think are genuinely good. We also look into everything we advertise to make sure it’s legitimate – so you won’t find any scams on our site.

Of course we also use affiliate links as we’ve explained above, but we are determined to use them only to recommend the very best products.

Having banner adverts helps us to generate some of the revenue we need to cover the costs of the website without having to compromise our promise to research and reveal to you the best deals, bargains and money-making ideas.

So, if you see something you like, please click through. That way we might get a little bit of money that we can put straight back into finding yet more great money-makers and money-savers for you’
