Here's 7 ideas.....
- Sell unwanted items on eBay. You may have done this in past or perhaps even considered it but dismissed it. You'd be surprised at how much money you could have hidden in 'stuff' that you no longer need, use or even know is there.
- Sell unwanted gifts, old toys or household items through Facebook Marketplace or local Facebook groups FOR FREE. This is a great way to de-clutter and those purchasing from you are likely to be local and able to collect quickly. It's ideal for larger bulkier items that would have cost a lot to post or courier if selling through eBay.
- Sell old tech boxes and accessories. Yes - really! If you are one of those organised types that keeps all the packaging that comes with a brand new iPhone or gaming system - your luck is in. You can actually make money selling these through sites like eBay, Gumtree and Facebook - so long as they are in tact of course. You could even bag as much as £5-20 for an old tech box (do a quick search on eBay to see what the going prices are).
- PPI - Last chance! Did you ever check if you were eligible for a PPI claim? Is it worth doing? As of 29th August 2019 you will no longer be able to make a claim with your old bank or building society, so if you think there's even a small chance that you could claim - you need to do so quickly.
- Check your pension. If you have been paying into a pension, or like me - did, but then stopped many years ago - it's definitely worth seeing how much is in there now. I certainly had a nice surprise when I checked after not paying in for the last 8 years. If you are in property, your pension pot CAN be used to invest in commercial property so long as it is transferred into a required fund (please check with your financial advisor for advice!). This means I can use mine for a deposit to purchase a property for my Serviced Accommodation business.
- Get paid listening to music! I know... but it is true. Here's a handy article highlighting 10 different sites that will pay you to listen and review their tunes: https://ivetriedthat.com/get-paid-to-listen-to-music/ . This could be a job for anyone in the family!
- Rent out a room. If you have a spare room and could do with the extra income, you can earn up to £7500 per annum by taking a lodger and letting out a furnished room, through the Governments Rent a Room Scheme.
There are so many ways you can boost your cash, as a quick google search will show. Get yourself into the money making mindset and watch the inspiration flow into your business too!
Happy money making ;o)
Have a great day! 😃
