   People be smart.Buy in bulk. Plant your own vegetables. (Lettuce grows like a weed.) Give gifts of food items. Cancel cable. Get chickens. Stop watering your lawn. Learn to raise livestock. A single lamb is extremely easy. Find ways to reduce /eliminate heating & air expenses. Lease a hybrid dump your gas guzzling car you will actually save money. Eat whole foods / eliminate processed packaged items and save significantly. Buy silver. Any move to self-sufficiency is better than none. Then encourage others.

     Don’t keep just one lamb (or any other animal) as they are herd animals and it is crule to keep them alone. Even if you do plan to murder and eat them later.

     A good way similar to Amazon is GreenMetropolis.com they are free and dead easy to use! Enter the ISBN number and it brings up the details all you have to do is enter condition of book…You pay P&P but you get about £3 plus per book, more than at a carboot and without getting up early!

   I’m on pre-payment meter for the electic and gas at the moment, so what I did was to top up my meter by more than what I should’ve have done, not use much, as I’m saving it for when the big chill finally happens.

   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.

   Hi there,

   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.

     Hi Ben,

     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

       Hello,

       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!

    If your determind you can overcome anything. When i couldn’t afford to pay the rent, i offered to do work for the landlord to reduce what i owed. For the block of flats i lived in, i became the cleaner, the gardener, and the handy(wo)man. I built brick walls, painted everything!, dug holes, and scrubbed floors. I had kept a roof over my head, only for the landlord to put the lovely clean/painted/tidy block of flats up for sale! I though look what i’ve done here, and decided to do it for myself! I went around estate agents looking for cheap properties (not 1′s usually displayed) Found 1 that was unmorgageable. I convinced family/friends/everyone i knew to lend me what they could afford. I put in an offer and got it. Moved in with no hot water or heating. I paid everyone back with interest in just 6 years. I worked very hard, used every penny to pay back what i borrowed before spending anything on the house. I had a full time shop job, worked my days off from that at another branch. Got an early morning cleaning job, and another cleaning job at a warehouse, answered the phone for a takeaway shop 2 nights a week. And did a couple of hours a week tagging clothes in the shop next door. When i sold that house i made £80,000 profit! I now own a 3 bed semi, and have 3 p/t cleaning jobs, and have been offered more! I have learnt that takeaways are a good place to work at dinnertime! And there are jobs out there if your willing to do the jobs others dont want! Always jobs avalable for cleaners! Hard work pays!!!

        ps Have you thought of renting out one of your rooms; you can pay off your mortgage early. You could then rent out that house and start a business. There are plenty of people in need of good, reasonably charged rooms. I did this due to illness and couldnt work.
        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………..

    Unfortunately I became unemployed just over a year ago. I am single, female and whey over 50 and not much chance of another job. Benefits did not cover rent on my small one bedroom flat or cover water, gas, electric. I applied for over 280 jobs in the first 6 months, not even an interview. I had to retrain but could not afford the course even though it was discounted through benefits. I found your site and have done it all, I like the mystery shopping best as I pick the ones that require me to buy something and I then get what I need and they reimburse. Car boot was fabulous for me when the water company or gas bills get too much. I managed to find a great way to pay for my retraining through auctions, granted you have to have a little in the piggy bank to buy stuff (general sale) and then sell on e bay. This was my life saver and helped by basic things like food. I finally graduated the course last week and yesterday have been offered a full time job. I will be doing a last car boot this weekend (weather permitting) to get my hair done and buy a new outfit. Yes I still have debts but they are manageable now I have a job.
    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

    Toluna is a total scam, who steel your points if you get anywhere near enough to buy a voucher, also greatly increase points needed to buy voucher whenever they feel like it, failing that they insist they can only send voucher code by post, then off course they have been lost in the post, also send scam emails trying get your bank details of whatever bank you decided to tick in one of their so called surveys

    I actually think a lot of these tips are useful and legit, because it’s “free” money, of course it’s going to take a while for it to amount, but things like recycling your old mobile and selling things on eBay, I think are great ways to release money (that’s stored up in items at home).

    There is no such thing as a free lunch and what you sow is what you reap are sayings that never date. Anything worth doing requires effort and I think the article is showing is that ways of making money that perhaps people havent thought of. I am disabled and unable to work or get benefits so I sell unwanted items on ebay andwhilst it is incredibly tiring for me it is also challenging, I have learnt many other skills during the process and am doing something worthwhile since I give half the proceeds I make to a local charity and the rest is spent on things that I want but wouldnt necessarily have the money to buy. It gives me purpose and a challenge. I agree that the surveys are tedius and boring with a low return but if you have nothing then 10p can make the difference between a loaf of bread or not. So I think it depends what you need and want. I think its a great site and suggest that you pick out the things that work for you – look at the positive not the negative

      I cannot believe the small minded comments you have put. Has it ever occured to you that prehaps its not the ‘lazy’ that look at things like this but also the desperate?? I work full time as does my husband and we support our three children. I have never claimed anything from the state or sold drugs, body fluids, sex or anything else. I have a family member who needs an operation and I will do whatever I can to earn any extra money, regardless of how small an amount. If you are so offended by such sites and ways of making cash maybe you should spend a little less time looking up the websites and making judgements about what you consider to be a certain group of people.

      thats so correct. The absolute least you can do is to put effort into a free survey site for money. Most are scams though. I use prizerebel, and it has been good to me. I made over 60 bucks in a week sitting at home doing surveys. With the help of their guides of course. But the catch is the referrals, If you get people to go on the website, you make like half of what their making, by doing nothing. So if you want to try, please use my referral link. I would appreciate it. prizerebel.com/index.php?r=2118747

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

      You could try dropshipping on ebay, amazon and other auction sites there are loads of companies out there its a simple process and you need no start up cash you simply sell products from the dropship company on ebay etc when you make a sale just order the item from the supplier and have it shipped straight to your customer so you keep any profit you put on top of the purchase price but remember to calculate all the ebay selling fees and paypal fees involved.

      Hi Natasha. How about getting into being a Virtual Assistant? We’ve got a big article on that in the ‘Making Money’ section. If you can type and do secretarial work it could be for you. It does take quite a lot of effort to get the clients, though, so you wouldn’t necessarily get the money in immediately. Also, have you thought of setting up a website and using affiliate marketing to make commissions from selling services? Look up ‘affiliate marketing’ on Google and read up about it.

      Hi, Rita
      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
      Joanne (:

      Selling comics is very hard, it all depends on whether they are UK or US editions, the grade (condition) and overall collectability (first issue, key issue, first appearance of…etc)..I personally wouldnt try at carboots as your get a fraction of what theycould be worth…eBay is good, but you need to know about the comics to give good descriptions etc. If you need any further advice Im more than happy to help…you can give me an idea of what you have, I can guide you better.

      Hi Pamela. There are a couple of companies that do this. We mention them in this article http://www.moneymagpie.com/article/250/ads-on-your-car/. It’s not easy to be accepted though. The companies have pretty strict ideas on what kind of car they want and how much driving you do. Still, it’s worth getting in touch with them!

      One of the best mystery shoppers are retaileyes.com, get plenty of jobs but can sometimes go a bit quiet, may not make alot of money but you get to try products for free, just register its free, all they need is a account number & sort code, and nobody can take it and take money out just put money in

      I think that being a childminder is a great way to make money while looking after your own child. Also, if you don’t mind the work, offering to take in ironing can be lucrative, although it depends where you live and how much money your neighbours have. If you want to make sensible money, though, and you have a computer then I would recommend learning about affiliate marketing and how to set up a specialist website. There are a lot of online resources (many of them dodgy so be careful) so you can learn online. It will take a few months to learn, though, so it would have to be more of a long-term plan. Many of my friends make money by doing a lot of different things so don’t reject anything – a bit of online surveys, a bit of referring friends, a bit of ironing/dog-walking/mending etc all added together can bring in a decent amount of cash.

    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.

      Have a look at the article on how to sell your gold: http://www.moneymagpie.com/article/13519/should-you-sell-your-gold/

      (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.

I come home in the evenings and work for 2-3 hours coding for a solicitor. I do my houswork on a Saturday and Sunday is spent cooking, making clothes for my family, writing letters and articles for magazines and making things to sell on E.bay. This brings in about another £100 a month BUT it is £100 I wouldn’t have had. GET OFF YOUR BACKSIDES!

    I heard you speak on the radio the other week about doing work as extras and you mentioned some agents do not charge to get on their lists can you name any. I went one who said they did not charge I completed most of the personal profile and was stopped before completing because they then said they charged £10 + vat for admin.

      Good point there – actually I think £10 + VAT is OK for an agency. It’s when they charge £100+ that you need to be suspicious and just walk out. See our article about being an ‘extra’ here http://www.moneymagpie.com/article/1568/film-tv-extra/. There are links to good agencies and also a website that warns of bad ones.

        Hi, am new here and really do like your website. But I digress, the best website for film extras, modelling (catalogues etc) is StarNow. My son has got work as an extra and so have I – although to get our portfolio going we did do a couple of “extra” jobs purely for the experience – they do pay all your expenses and from there you can start branching out more. Then again, just join and apply for all – reach for the stars! Good luck xxx

      I was advised to join a few online survey companys at a time so i could get more benefits and recieve quicker payments. The best ones are Valued Opinions, GlobalTestMarket, NewVIsta and LightSpeed Comsumer Panel.
      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!!

    Joanne/Maggie;

    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.

    Inspired by the slot yesterday on GMTV I looked up this website to follow up on doing surveys. I logged on to a few of the sites and although I was accepted I have been unable to complete a single survey as I don’t fit the criteria or the survey miraculously freezes (although at this point I have spent on average 5 minutes giving them my personal information!)
    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?
