Chugging round the country
Spring is here and the 'chuggers' (charity fundraisers) are definitely in bloom! Several charities are looking for people to stand on the street and persuade passers-by to pay monthly amounts to their charity. You can earn between £8.50-11 an hour, on average, and the work is flexible. It involves being outside and meeting people, of course, but you could get a lot of abuse from pedestrians. There are several commercial organisations that run 'chugger' campaigns but they keep a percentage of the money raised. Better to work direct for the charity if you would like to do this. Just a few of the organisations looking for fundraisers directly are Shelter, Concern and Everychild.

Earn money with your mobile
This sounds like some sort of telemarketing job, but actually Noodle.co.uk pays you money just for making the calls to your friends and family that you would make on your mobile normally - get 2p per minute for peak calls and 1p for off-peak calls. Noodle either works alongside your normal contract, or you can get a Noodle Sim card. You can also save loads on international and roaming calls as Noodle is permanently roaming and therefore doesn't charge you the extortionate rates that most mobile providers in the UK do. Noodle also has a referral bonus and you can earn 1p for every minute that someone you've referred spends on their phone.

To register, text the world NOODLE to 81025. You will then receive a Noodle number and password which you use to log in at www.noodle.co.uk and they will tell you exactly what you need to do to start earning. Your earnings are paid directly into your bank account leaving you to do whatever you like with them. Do check out with your network provider before you start using the service, as sometimes Noodle doesn't work with free minutes bundles.

Become a Mobile Caterer
We know what you're thinking... horrible burger vans at cheesy events, but actually mobile catering with MJR Tom actually involves walking around at events at all the major london stadiums and football clubs, as well as stadiums around the country and all the major british racecourses, and selling whatever it is you are told to sell.  MJR Tom say that the most common product they sell is beer and the most common receptacle they use is a rucksack, so you won't be lugging around bikes with icecream freezers on them or anything.  Once you've got a stock of your product you can then wander around, enjoy the event and sell your product.  You are paid a minimum wage base rate and then can earn commission on top of that depending how many of your product you sell, which does give you motivation to try and sell as much as possible.  Most of the events are during evenings or weekends so it's something you can do in your spare time if you work and hopefully the events themselves should be pretty enjoyable.  However carrying liquids can get pretty heavy, so it's not a job for those who haven't got the strength to lug around a heavy load on their back. MJR Tom hold interviews every Thursday.
