    With less income, higher prices and my job on the line, I am looking for ways of making some more money on the side. I cut down on spending, so the only real solution is more income...

    Hi I have to agree with Online survey's are something you can do at home and he's certainly given you a list.Bear in mind they are time consuming and below minimum wage for the time you would spend on them but when the rewards come in they are very nice and pleasing to have and after all, nothing ventured, nothing gained.Have fun!! 25H

    Thanks ! There's loads of online survey sites, i have tried most of them and would avoid Toluna and Swagbucks.But if you wanted to join just one, then it has to be Prolific, on this link https://app.prolific.co/They are the by far the biggest payers, the most interesting, and least time consuming, expect around £50 a month.

    Another one which comes in handy is Shopper Thoughts (shopperthoughts.com) - it's operated behind the team that introduced Clubcard into the U.K over a quarter of a century ago. Have been a member for a couple of years now and sometimes it can take a while to earn points for polls and surveys but given the fact you can turn them into vouchers for Amazon etc it does come in useful.

    There are so many pyramid and ponzi scams out there you really have to be careful. There is apparently a genuine website which tells you step by step how to use the free bets new joiners receive to UK based regulated online betting sites, and then betting on both teams winning at sports events, or both outcomes, in such a way that if you spend an entire day, following the sites instructions to the letter, you will build up a net a profit of around 1000 pounds typically. The problem is you can only do it the once, because of the free sign ups, and nowadays you are not allowed to gamble using credit, so you have to use a debit card. Go to the wrong site that is a scam, or is giving bad advice, and you could loose a lot of money. Make a single mistake and not follow the instructions exactly on a genuine site, and again you will loose a lot of money. It's not illegal, and I have not attempted it yet, but I known enough credible people who have done it successfully.

    One of the best ways to make some extra money in these challenging times is to look for freelance work online. With the rise of the gig economy, there are a variety of ways to make money from home. Many websites like Fiverr and Upwork offer opportunities for freelancers to offer services ranging from data entry to web design. Additionally, many businesses are looking for remote workers to fill positions such as customer service or virtual assistant roles. You can also use websites such as Craigslist and TaskRabbit to find various types of gigs.

    Another great way to make some extra money is to start a side hustle. There are plenty of ways to monetize your skills and passions. You can offer services such as dog walking, home organization, or tutoring. You can also start an online business, such as an e-commerce store or a blog, or create a product or service to sell. You can also look for ways to make money with your hobbies, such as selling crafts or taking part in online surveys.

    I would develop social media pages because once you have some audience it is easy to monetize it too. TikTok is a great option to develop a business. It has become a popular platform for business and entrepreneurship. Here are some ways you can make money on TikTok: Sponsored Content: If you have a large following on TikTok, you can collaborate with brands to create sponsored content. Brands will pay you to create content that promotes their products or services. Affiliate Marketing: You can earn a commission by promoting products and services through affiliate marketing. Simply include a unique affiliate link in your TikTok bio or in the description of your videos. Selling Products: You can use TikTok as a platform to sell products, such as merchandise, or digital products like e-books or courses. You can promote these products in your videos or through sponsored content. Don't forget about the fact that you need to gain as many views as possible, if you have trouble with that try SocCeleb services.
