10 Ways To Increase Income Part Two!
5. Can you do odd jobs? People are always crying out for plumbers, electricians, gardeners, babysitters, dog walkers, house sitters, ironing clothes. Look in your Yellow Pages for a vast variety of ideas for possibly earning extra income. What about painting & decorating, anyone can do that! The funny thing is that you do a small job for someone & then they ask you to do another while you’re there and so and so on. Before you know it, you’re inundated. All CASH! In the 80s recession I had a chat with a builder client/friend over a cup of coffee. He was complaining that, because of the recession, many builders were cutting profits to the bone to get jobs. I asked him whether he ever got asked to do extra jobs that he hadn’t quoted for, whilst he was fulfilling a contract? “Yes, always”, he said. The penny dropped – that’s where his profit was! But, if he never got the job in the first place because of his pricing then he never would get the ‘extras’ at full price or more!
6. Are you claiming benefits? If you are, make certain that you are claiming everything that you are entitled to by going down to your local benefits office & asking or visit http://www.dwp.gov.uk/lifeevent/benefits/ . Don’t ask, don’t get!
7. Tax Code. Have you got the correct Tax Code? Are you claiming all the allowances that you are entitled to? Go down to your local Tax office & ask or visit http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/ . Don’t ask, don’t get!
8. Get a part time job. Look for a job that might offer an extra earning opportunity besides your wages. Don’t be a barman, you won’t get tips – be a waiter. Do you know how much a good waiter earns in tips alone? Do they have porters at railway stations & airports anymore? All CASH!
9. Rent a room. I’ve saved this till last because it’s by far the most lucrative.
