10 Ways To Increase Income!

1. Clear out your loft, cupboards, garage, shed. The stuff you have hoarded over the years has value. There’s money tied up in those unused items. There’s money lying about all around you. All you have to do is collect. Sell them in the free newspapers or boot sales. Do not, whatever you do, take them to the tip. Ask others if they need any of their stuff clearing out – for a fee! Buy from charity shops & re-sell. Some people get so hooked on this idea that they end up being regulars at boot sales. All CASH!

2. Have you got a skill? Apart from your regular job, can you do something else to earn income? I encouraged a lady I knew in my youth, stuck at home with a little baby, to do sewing & alterations by placing a small ad in the local paper. She was inundated with jobs. Can you bake cakes, make jam, make chutney? Have you got green fingers & grow flowers or vegetables? Can you paint, etch or sketch? Can you fix cars? Is your passion tinkering with motorbikes? Get the idea? Sell your produce at boot sales, craft fairs, farmers markets or advertise in the freebie newspapers. All CASH!

3. Special interest. Do you like children? Fancy child minding? Would you like to work with/for the elderly? Social Services & Care Homes pay good money for people to come in each week for a few hours and ‘entertain’ the elderly. Check it out, phone them up, do it now! ALL EXTRA INCOME!

4. Have you got a hobby? Can you qualify as an instructor? You can get paid for teaching people what you like doing or to write a book LIKE THIS! I know a lady who keeps a couple of horses, one for her and another for the kids. Now, horses cost quite a bit to keep. Hay, woodchips, feed & regular shoeing all mount up. This lady also has a wood-burning stove and lives in a rural area but on a busy road with lots of passing traffic. So, what’s the connection between horses, stove and busy road. Well, I’ll tell you. What she does is buy logs by the ton load, rebags them into smaller lots & sells them for a profit on the roadside. No, she doesn’t sit there all day, she has a collecting tin for the cash which she empties regularly – people are basically honest. The profit goes towards heating her house and some for the upkeep of the ponies! In addition, there’s a by-product. Horses produce manure & gardeners buy it by the bagful. So, this lady sells that as well –talk about recycling! Her next door neighbour sells surplus vegetables from his garden. The two trades compliment each other. Another guy I know owns a large sailing yacht which he uses regularly in the summer for club racing. He needs crew which he gets to pay a small amount each time they come and sail to defray the cost of keeping a yacht. Read more....
