I am sorry to say that I did not MAKE any money, the only organisation that can do this is the royal mint.
I however did learn how I could earn extra money. There are several ways of doing this, they are in no particular order;
1, Get a supplemental income from working more hours in your traditional job. In the current financial climate this may not be an option.
2, Get a part-time job, waiting tables, cleaner, bar staff, home help etc… Again in the current climate this could be difficult.
3, Car boot – there are hundreds of car boot venues throughout the UK, simply book a stall/pitch turn up with your old unwanted stuff and sell to the highest bidder – this could also be done on e-bay or the likes. If you can find people that are looking to get rid of their ‘stuff’ you could offer a service where you will remove it for them at a small price, they will be glad that you removed the goods and you can recycle the rubbish and sell the rest.
4, start a part time business – this could be anything that you wish it to be, if you have any particular skills in any area such as guitar playing then give guitar lessons, if you are handy with tools offer your services to your local community, gardening/handyperson window cleaner etc… This can take a while to get established but the benefits to the top two is that the money that you earn will not be taxed at source i.e. not P.A.Y.E. so you could end up with a tax refund at the end of the year (bonus)
5, Start your own part time distribution business, this is the option that I used, for me it was far easier than any of the others, I simply paid for a starter kit, distributed my product catalogues around the local area then collected the orders, and processed them then simply delivered the goods and pocketed the profit. There are other ways in which you can market the products online, party plan, direct sales, many different opportunities are available.
