When the cost of living goes up, extra cash always helps.
But there are plenty of ways you can increase your cash without leaving your home.
We’ve put together a list of 5 ways to make extra cash, from selling used clothes to working part-time as a product tester.
How to Make money at Home
If you can’t work, have a full-time job, or perhaps are a stay-at-home parent, there are plenty of things you can do to earn some extra money.
For millions of families struggling with soaring energy bills and rising inflation, the extra cash could go a long way.
Whether you’re looking to boost your regular income or need some extra cash to fulfil your travel plans, we’ve got tips for you.
1.Share the deal and get paid
LatestDeals gives out coupons to people who share deals on its site.
The points you get add up to Amazon vouchers.
You have to reach at least 5,000 points before you can get the £5 Amazon voucher.
There is a guide on how many points you can earn for different activities on the LatestDeals.co.uk website.
2.Earn cashback
As you’d expect from the name, cashback sites give you cash back when you spend online.
TopCashback and Quidco are the two most popular and sometimes you can make hundreds.
When you shop, be sure to click on the website to get extra cash.
Both have downloadable widgets that you’ll never forget.
They are free to use, but there is also a £5 a year membership which gives you a higher cashback rate.
3.Watch TV to earn my salary
thereviews.co.uk organises research groups for broadcasters and programme makers so they can get feedback on TV programmes before they are screened.
You can participate in in-person research groups, fill out questionnaires online, or do both.
You can earn between £40 and £70 on a discussion group, usually in cash.
4.Snap photos of receipts
Some apps will give you cash or an Amazon voucher if you take a picture of the receipt, regardless of what you bought.
The “Receipt Hog” will provide you with points and once you earn 1,000 points, you can redeem them for a £3 voucher.
Each receipt is only worth a few points, but if you take a picture of each receipt, it quickly adds up.
You can also cash in by filling out a questionnaire.
5.Make money online
You can make money and surf by downloading and signing up for the Qmee app or browser.
It works by helping advertisers reach a specific audience so that the AD will be more tailored to you. If you click on an AD you like, you get paid.
Typically, this is around 7-15p per search, but you can earn up to £1.
