3 – No risk-matched betting (Make Money From Home UK only)

 

I started matched betting nearly 5 years ago now, although in the begging I was very unsure, I thought it was just gambling. It is not.

 

This is probably, in my opinion, one of the easiest ways to make extra money from home.

 

You can earn money really fast with matched betting.

 

I got started with a software and training package called Profit Maximiser (UK only) and it shows you exactly how to do this step by step.

 

If you can follow the instructions in the emails then this really is a simple and easy way to earn money from home.

 

It also comes with:

Mike the products creator offers a £1.00 trial where you can earn between £45 – £100 depending on how much time you put in. 

 

I continually earn between £400 to £700 a month with Profit Maximiser doing about 4 hours a week.

 

Some people do this full time and earn over £3k a month. 

 

You can find out more info and start for only £1.00 here —-> Profit Maximiser.

 

Have a watch of this video I did showing how I earned £25 in about 30 minutes.

 

 

4 – Start your very own money-making blog today.

 

You can blog about anything you like, just make sure you pick something which you love.

 

I enjoy learning about new ways to earn online and sharing this information so writing this blog is easy for me.

 

If I had picked another subject like say Yoga I wouldn't have a clue what to write about.

 

Being successful takes a lot of work and persistence, but it's a great way to earn some extra cash.

 

 

I have written a simple 3 step guide to start your own blog here. 

 

5 – List for free on Facebook.

 

Use Facebook groups and also the new in-app Facebook Marketplace to sell the stuff you no longer need or use.

 

Plus there are no fees for using this, unlike eBay and Etsy.

 

I have bought products from eBay and sold them in the Facebook marketplace on several occassions.

 

I have also bought products from 1 group on Facebook and then sold them in the Facebook marketplace on the same day.

  • Planners
  • Spreadsheets
  • Images

This is a simple way to make money fast.

 

If you have it and don't need it then sell it on eBay. Just remember – one person's junk is another person's treasure.

 

8 – Get Paid From Home To Flip Products.

 

Buy items to resell on eBay, Amazon or Facebook groups.

 

I have bought items before from the £1 shop and sold them on eBay for £8.

 

You can also get great finds at local car boot sales.

 

Plus you can quickly check on eBay using your phone to see how much people are charging for products.

 

You can also buy items on eBay and flip them on Amazon. This is really easy to do and if you do your research you can make £3 / £4 an item.

 

I have sold a camera on Amazon for £48 then gone to eBay and bought the same product for £30, then got it sent to my customer on Amazon making a quick £15 after fees.

9 – Trade your old technology.

 

Got a new phone or iPad? Sell your old phone on Gazelle

11 – Write and publish your own ebook.

 

Ever wanted to write your own e-book?

 

Kindles and ebooks are very popular right now.

12 – Affiliate Marketing – Earn a passive income sharing other peoples products. 

 

What is affiliate marketing?

 

Affiliate marketing is basically this….

 

When you refer someone to any online product or service and when that person buys the product based on your recommendation, you then receive a commission.

 

So Let’s say you create a website or blog about fashion, you can then work with different companies which sell fashion items.

 

You then take some of the companies marketing materials like a banner or image which you include in your blog, then when someone clicks on that banner or buys something via your unique link then you get paid a commission.

 

This is just one example.

 

You can also do really simple things like sharing a post on Facebook, answer questions on Quora, share pictures on Instagram and Pinterest.

 

I have written a full in-depth article on this and also share some of my own earnings with this method.

 

The money you can earn with affiliate marketing is truly life-changing.

 

Here are some of my earnings in the last 30 days using affiliate marketing.

29 – Starting a Dropshipping Business is a great way to make money online.

 

With the continued explosion of eCommerce and traditional shopping on the decline, dropshipping products has become very popular because of the low-risk factor.

 

What is Dropshipping? This can be broken down into 3 steps.

 

  1. You sell products on your website or shop.
  2. Once a sale is made you order the product from your dropshipping company.
  3. They then send the product to your customer directly and you keep the profit.

Not Taught At School - Bang Good

So an example of this would be.

  • You list a tent on your online store or eBay account for £50.
  • When it sells you then go to your drop shipping company and pay them £30 and give them your customers details.
  • They send the tent direct to your customer and you keep the difference, so in this example, you would have made £20. Congratulations 🙂

 

There are lots of different drop shipping companies out there, some charge you to join and others don't.

 

I have worked with several over the years and my favorite is Bang Good (I know, bizarre name)

 

Below is just some of the key reasons why I use these guys.

  • Free to join
  • They have warehouses all over the world so shipping is fast and you can sell overseas
  • Free shipping on lots of the products
  • No minimum order unlike other sites
