It is always a good feeling to earn a little extra, especially when it is going towards a vacation or something that you have wanted for a while but thought too frivolous just to splash out on.
Luckily, there are several ways that you can earn extra money and some of them are fun to do, although not all are guaranteed to make you a millionaire.
So, whether you are a student managing on a budget, or a busy mum wanting to put some money away for birthdays or Christmas, all of the ways mentioned below are guaranteed to earn you something.
One of the most popular ways to earn some money is by filling out online surveys in your spare time. It only takes a few minutes to fill out a survey and you can either be paid in cash or rewards like Amazon vouchers.
Try sites like InboxPounds, to see if this way of earning suits your lifestyle.
You can also get paid for searching the web, which has to be one of the simplest ways of making money online. What you will need to do is install a simple add-on to your browser and when you do a search thereafter, there will be some extra sponsored results alongside your normal search.
Another popular way to earn extra money is to use ‘Get Paid’ sites, which are similar to making money from online surveys. Once you have completed an offer or activity online, then you will be paid for it. Check out sites like Swagbucks.com for this method of earning.
A fun way to earn some extra cash is to make use of some of the best UK casino bonuses and spend some time playing games. In this way, you won’t have to spend any of your own hard-earned cash (that would be defeating the point) whilst being in with a chance of a win.
Using an online casino’s bonus money will have terms and restrictions attached to it, so remember to to read all of the small print before opting in. Of course, you won’t be guaranteed a win but there have been some amazing amounts of prize money won on slots, especially the progressive games and someone has to win. It could be you.
Another interesting way to make some extra money is by carrying out gigs on Fiverr. Fiverr is now the world’s biggest marketplace for people to sell small services, and it works like this.
You can offer anything as a freelance worker, from writing and translating to creating social media posts, creating music, voiceovers or short video clips – even playing pranks. The default price is $5 but there is always the option of attaching extra services to gigs, which will earn you extra money.
All of those Fiverr jobs soon add up, especially if you get a system in place which minimises the time that you spend on each gig.
One other way to perhaps make some extra cash is to enter competitions. Of course, they do not come with any guarantees, but again just like with online gaming, someone has to win, and it may as well be you who takes home the income.
