    Hi!

    I was just wondering if anyone had any idea on how to earn a bit more money?

    I'm a student still and already got 2 jobs but obviously part time (total of 22hrs), just wondering how to pay for everything. For me if I could do some working from home. I'm pretty good at tutoring friends and family but I don't think you can do that properly can you?

    Any ideas will be apprieciated!!

    Thanks!

    I dont see why you cant home tutor? Ask some of your friends and family if they would be interested in paying and see what their thoughts are? xxx

    If you're a student, are you at uni? If so, my best advice is not to think about short term earnings at the sacrifice of the long term prospect, i.e. don't spend all your spare time working in bars etc to earn money if its impacting your studying - as its studying for the qualification that affects your future career prospects. If you have the summer break, try to get a placement at a company doing whatever it is you are studying - I did a 3 month summer placement at a company between years 2 and 3 - did a placement report on it (so it counted as a third year module) - got paid for it but most importantly, it gave me experience I could put on my CV which landed me my first 'proper' job.
    I appreciate that life as a student isn't cheap, and neither are weddings, but I hope my advice makes some sense for you x

    If u google u can find sites where u can do surveys and stuff to earn bits of money that way... They normally pay £1-2 per survey you fill in your profile and they send u them based on what info you've provided, even doing a couple a day could help x

    Have you tried mystery shopping? You can get paid do go out for a meal or stay at a hotel place a bet etc. alot of the time it is stuff you would be doing anyway and getting paid to have a meal with your oh can't be all bad xx

    i scan the barcodes of my shopping each week and in return get vouchers for where ever i choose .... its a great way of saving as i only take the vouchers when i want them

    What about doing home parties or brochure selling? Ive done a few of them and if your able to take a night off a week or an afternoon with some of them you can earn between £50 - £150 for a few hours work! Obviously depends on how much time you are able to put in as others have said studying is much more important. :)

    it can be done, i did both parties and direct selling with 2 major companies and i was very successful with both. working up to managing teams in both areas too. The more you put into it the more you get out of it. however you can do only a couple of hours per week as well. depending on your spare time and what you want to do.
