Whether you want to top up your income, your savings or to pay for those luxuries, I’ve got 5 ways that you can make money. I want to keep this post short and sweet, so lets get started.
Offer products or services on your blog
This is a great way of making money. If you have a blog, think about how you can help other people. Whether that is creating Pinterest Templates* or offering Blog Advertising, or even something completely different. Think about what would be involved and what would be a good price point and get promoting.
Sell unwanted items
I have spoken about this loads on my blog so far this year. Selling unwanted items is such a great way of making money. Depending what items they are, you could make hundreds of pounds. There are so many different sites and apps to sell through. From Depop, Vinted, Gumtree, eBay as well as Facebook Marketplace. Do your research and choose a site where your items would do well. For example, large items like pieces of furniture do better on Facebook than they do on eBay, so bare that in mind.
Scan your receipts
Apps like Storewards offer tokens in exchange for receipts scanned, which can then be exchanged for money. I’ve been doing this for a little while and tend to average £4 a month. Whilst that doesn’t sound like much, it all adds up and that could be an extra £48 for just a few minutes work. If you link your email and Amazon accounts, you can earn more tokens on your online purchases too.
Complete Surveys
This one can take a little time to do but there are some apps that offer payouts with no limits. Curious Cat, Qmee Surveys & Streetbees allow you to cash out at any level. I usually complete surveys throughout the month and then cash out on the last day of each month. I then get a little bonus to add to my savings. Some apps take longer to reach the payout level such as VYPR, however these are usually ones that take less time to complete too.
Use Cashback sites
Ok, so technically you aren’t making money, you are just getting back some of what you spend. At the end of the day, its still a saving though. I use sites such as Top Cashback, but make sure you always read the small print of each offer. Some of them aren’t valid for click & collect, so always check the terms & conditions to avoid disappointment.
There are so many other ways you could choose to make extra money but I’ve narrowed it down to 5 for this post. What do you do to make extra money? Will you be giving any of these suggestions a try?
Thank you for this Kelly, it was very helpful!
Offering products and services via your blog is a great idea, and the first thing I did to make money was offering advertising for other bloggers 🙂 thank you for sharing x

Thank you for sharing this information, friend. Btw, what criteria does a blogger needs to offer blog advertising service?
Nice ideas! I am selling my image consulting and personal styling services on my blog and I get affiliate income from LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app 🙂
Wonderful ideas! We’ve been thinking about offering advertising. But I definitely use cash back websites! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Some great ways to make extra money and fast! Selling things is always a good idea! x

I’m a minimalist, and I’ve still saved a lot of money from cashback sites. It’s a really great way to get discounts.
I haven’t tried completing surveys before and have really never known which sites are worth it. I’ll definitely have to check these out. Do you recommend one over the other or do you complete surveys at all of them? Just curious, how much on average do you make in a month just by completing surveys?
All sound prospering Kelly. I am a big fan of writing and self-publishing eBooks to help folks and to prosper. My bite-sized reads number at 126, I think.
Cash back, rebates, and surveys are all small ways to make money and get a little back of what you spend. The little really adds up in the long run and does not take much time to do, so I think it is totally worth it!
Selling unwanted items and creating something inventive and useful to sell via blogging is also a wonderful way to add to the community and come away with a little in pocket. 🙂
Thanks for these tips! I surprised by how many of these services I don’t know about. I’m glad you brought them to my attention. I’m always looking for other ways to make a little side income (isn’t everyone?).
I find Prolific the best for surveys and it’s so handy to just have open in a tab throughout the day. I used Shoppix for scanning receipts. You can get a payout pretty quickly so I usually get about £5 extra a month through that! I need to remember to use my cashback app more often though! x
I really need to get better at using cash back sites! I always forget!
I’ve never taken any surveys! Perhaps I should try some of these! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for this list! Lots of great ideas to try.
I’m going to investigate surveys! i spend so much time online I may as well make a little cash while I’m at it! Thanks.
This is so helpful, I recently had a massive clear out, and got rid of so much!
Love, Amie ❤

Earning money is always on everyone’s list.
Great ideas! I need to start doing more surveys. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for ideas! A few things I am already doing, but there is this one thing I have been thinking already a long time – Surveys. Maybe it’s time to start? If not now, then when?!
Thanks for sharing these ways to make extra cash 🙂
