January 30, 2020 /

Being able to afford an extra luxury or treating you and your family to something special can be really important. We’d all like to earn a little extra money than we do already and that is something that’s possible. Here are five ways to earn extra money for your household.

Run A Side Business

A side business can be a great way to earn yourself some extra money, and it’s usually doing something you love to do. A passion project like selling your own handmade goods or offering your services to those who need you, can be really fulfilling as well as putting some extra cash in your pockets. When running a side business, make sure to remember that you’ll need to pay any additional taxes that you owe through making money over the financial year. However, that small hassle is outweighed by the opportunities that come with running a side business. Think about what you’re good at and any skills you might have that could contribute to something that will make you money. You’ll likely need to dedicate a lot of your time to get it off the ground, but as soon as you start it, it might not take you long to be making good money from it.

Try Out Gambling

Gambling is something that needs to be done carefully because when it comes to any type of gambling, there’s a risk to it. Use casino bonuses and make sure you’re looking at the rules of any games you play online to make sure you’re not wasting money haphazardly. Knowing how to gamble and play these online games properly is essential for you to hopefully make a return on your money. Check that when you’re gambling that you are going on sites that are legitimate and not something that is going to just take your money as part of a scam. And when it comes to the money you spend on the site, make sure it’s money you can afford to lose. When you start gambling away money that’s not something you can afford to lose then you can get yourself into hot water.

Be A Blogger

Influencers are becoming a big industry for people to make a career out of and if you’re willing to put in the time and effort, then you could end up making some serious money from it. Being a blogger is great if you love writing and can write about different topics in order to work with brands and companies on content. Think of yourself as a magazine or newspaper, if you’re getting plenty of views on your website, then you can start making money. As more and more people get online, the need for online advertising is huge for companies, and they’re looking at bloggers as a source of advertisement. So if you’re good at writing and you enjoy it, then start a blog!

Sell Your Unwanted Belongings

Your unwanted belongings are something everyone will have because we often end up collecting a lot of stuff that we just don’t need. That or we get something new that works better. You may want to look at selling these unwanted items online because you can end up getting a good deal on a lot of stuff and making that extra cash. There are plenty of online websites, not just eBay, which is the original platform to sell things. Take a look around your home and start gathering things up that are worth selling.

Fill In Surveys

If you want to entertain your boredom, then you might as well do something that entertains you and makes you money. Surveys are something we often don’t enjoy filling out, but sometimes we feel obliged to. But when you’re filling in surveys in return for cash, that’s where it makes it that little bit easier to do them. You can sign up to plenty of sites and then find which ones are the most rewarding in terms of their payment. Some will pay out cash that goes straight to your bank account, while others pay in gift vouchers or cards. It’s up to you what you prefer, but it’s a great little money earner once you start filling in more surveys. The more you can do, the more money you’ll make it through, so give it a go if you need to fill up some time.

Earning that extra cash here and there can add more value and experiences for your household, so try to earn wherever you can.

Covid-19 has disrupted the entire UK economy, closing restaurants, shutting small businesses and putting hundreds of thousands of people out of work. People on 0-hours contracts and freelancers are some of the worst-hit, experiencing their monthly pay dropping from 100 to 0 in a matter of days. During such uncertain times, many people are suffering from financial difficulty as they have never seen before. So what can we be doing to make ends meet during the Covid-19 outbreak? Government support In an attempt to keep businesses afloat and to keep people in employment the government has announced more than £330 billion worth of guarantees. This includes introducing a Business Rate holiday, giving workers access to Statutory Sick Pay if they are forced to self isolate, supporting businesses by paying up to 80% of their worker’s salaries to allow them to keep employees on and making it easier for people to sign up for Universal Credit. In addition to endeavors above, the government is also in conversation with mortgage lenders about possible mortgage repayment freezes and is trying to bring about more support for self-employed workers who, at present, only have the Universal Credit system to fall back on. For many people, these measures don’t go far enough to help them support their livelihood, so what else can we do? Loans With business dropping virtually overnight, many people and companies are being forced to take out payday loans in order to survive. The government has promised an 80% money-back guarantee on loans provided by lenders to try and encourage them to continue offering them to SMEs in need, however, this has yet to be applied to personal loans that may need to be taken out by freelancers. Cutting costs In the face of so much uncertainty, at present, the only thing that most of us can do to try and make ends meet is to cut back on our own costs in order to make the money we do have to stretch further. Here are some things that you can do to help cut your monthly expenses: Apply for council tax relief One of the largest monthly expenses for most renters and homeowners is their council tax. If you are on a low income you could be eligible for council tax relief or a council tax reduction. Cut your food spend The new, tighter, social distancing regulations are forcing most of us to stay at home and this gives us the opportunity to experiment with lower-cost food options. Go back to basics and make hearty and filling vegetable-based dishes such as soups, stews, and curries that cost far less than meat alternatives and are healthier for you too. Stop all unnecessary spending Finally, if you haven’t done it already, then now is the time to look at your outgoings and to be strict about what you can no longer afford. You can save money on your phone bill with Apps such as Airtime rewards and you may also want to look at subscription services such as Spotify, Netflix, and Amazon Prime which may have seemed like necessities but are now little more than luxuries. Even if cutting these out only saves you £30 a month, that’s £30 a month in your pocket for essentials such as food and rent. There’s no denying that times are hard right now and for many people, this post barely scratches the surface. It’s important to remember that more help initiatives are being announced every day, so keep an eye out on the GOV.UK website.
