My wife works about 12 hours a week doing freelance telesales. She is in great demand and could work 100 hours a week if she wanted (I've tried to persuade her - but she prefers to just sit around!). This line of business is well paid and in constant demand because so few people are willing to give it a try. It is one of the most flexible ways to make extra money. You basically work pretty well when you want to. Take a look at this link where you will find more detail freelance telesales HOUSE SITTING/CHECKING When people are on holiday, especially extended holidays, many are willing to pay trustworthy locals to make visits to their property. This is a good way to earn extra money. You may be expected to: Of course potential customers are not going to give just anyone access to their property. You will need several recent checkable and 'glowing' references from impeccable sources as to your honesty and reliability (we don't want the cat to starve!). Our neighbours started a small business in this line and it has grown and grown. They started working locally and got more and more work and recommendations. They then started to actually stay in houses all over the UK and now they do the same job all over the UK and the rest of Europe. They love it. If you can do this and find the customers, it is a very pleasant way to make extra money.CARING FOR SMALL CAGED PETS/BIRDS When people are away from home, they may need someone to care for their pet. If you have sufficient space and like animals, then this is one of the easiest ways to make extra money at home. A friend of ours started out by taking in a neighbour's gerbils for a week and now has a thriving little business in this line. She also walks dogs for elders whose dogs require more exercise than they can provide for them. MAKING OR ADAPTING GOODS FOR SALE Turning a hobby into income is one of the best ways to make extra money. You can't beat doing something you enjoy AND earning from it. If you already have a marketable skill in this area - well what are you waiting for? Give it a try. If not, and this is one of the ways of making extra money that interests you, go to a good hobby/crafts shop. Look around, buy a book or two in something that looks interesting. Buy a kit, make something, make a few more until you are producing something marketable. Test the market, go to gift, card, flower shops and ask if they might try to sell a few. You might also consider adapting/personalising/decorating goods for sale. Goods such as 'T' shirts, waste paper bins and hundreds of other ordinary items with stencils/photos etc. ONLINE SURVEYS/FORUMS - This is not a full time nor even part time income opportunity, it is more of a 'pockey money' activity. If this way of making extra cash interests you take a look at this link online surveys PRINTED AND FRAMED GIFTS There are companies that will supply, at a very reasonable cost, software that will produce 'On This Day' events for every birthdate and such things as personalised Santa Letters which enable you to produce saleable items.
