Answer 1

Ebay, not a shop as you have to pay about 6 quid a month for the privalidge, you can sell anything, trading cards, stickers anything free from Mc Donalds sells (can glasses are  selling good at the moment and those Kung Fu Panda toys were going for around £5.00 when they were out, keep checking for collectibles on Ebay and find out others are selling, remember if you sell things at even 1 or 2 pound profit it will all add up after a month.

Answer 2

Nice referral link on the Revolution Offers above.  LOL... You won't make any money by doing that.. but you might put a few extra pennies in his pocket!

The only thing I've ever been able to make good money on at home is web design.  It's something I learned on my own and have gotten extremely good at.. but that's been over the course of a few years.  I've done 4 websites this year.. at $1000 each.  That's a bargain for a really top notch website, but like all jobs.. there's pressure.  It's not something you can approach lazily and the client has to like what you create.  

Answer 3

The ones that i have chosen are not scams, have  done research and read forums where people have psoted topics on these:

Why don't you try online surveys and PTC's (paid to click) as a side job to help you earn cash. You have to be able to put time and effort into, and able to check your email throughtout the day. This truely is something to do to really earn money for a living. I am a stay-at-home-mom, and I have been doing this for about a week now and I have two $25 walmart gift cards coming in the mail, and one $25 Target gift card coming, from completing offers that you pay like $1 to try and then return it within 7 days and still get the gift card!! The PTC's is a website where you click on ads and earn like 0.01-.10 cents per ad and there is NO limit in clicking on the ads. Most have a minimum of $1-$2 dollar pays straight into your paypal account, alertpay, or e-gold account. i will give you links to some PTC's and if you'd like I can give you tons of links to paid survey sites that really pay for you to take surveys. You have to sign up for a bunch of them for them to work and check your email daily cause you're not gonna make money off of just joining one website. Join many and you could make a living off of taking them, trust me, i know! Email me if you want survey links.

Answer 4

No.  They're all in the business of stealing your money.. as can be evidenced by the above answers.  

Answer 5

Hi there

Not really sure what amount you are looking to make, on average I make about £250 every 2 weeks from my scheme, however the money isnt guarenteed Im afraid.

Am only 16 so do it part time between school, and more recently between GCSE revision.

Anyway, what I do is use those giveaway sites, where you sign up to a deal, (lovefilm, coral bet etc) and then refer friends.

SOme offers and entirely free, (lovefilm) others you have to pay a fiver or so for, but it is worthwhile. Obviously start with the free offers. You then refer people to do exactly the same as you and then you receive a free item, normally I get a PS3.

Anyway, I then sell the PS3 on ebay, keep the money, and start again on a new item.

I have created a website with all the info

www.freewebs.com/mark304

Is only basic but has all info on what to do, how to, and even proof. ALso has all the most reputable links towards the 'proper' sites.

Would advise you create one as it does help when referring friends.

Anyway, visit my site, is definatly worthwhile, you have nothing to lose and you will not regret it, I know I dont.

Furthermore, these things have been shown by the bbc, the video is on my site, so it does show this does work for real. Unlike many scams and cons on the web. Have a read.

Answer 6

i dont know but what ever company if any you join and i cant see it being a free one google it for reviews, complaints, feedback off other people that have used it.

good luck.  

Answer 7

why not do a buisness on ebay

Answer 8

Buy and sell stuff on ebay.

Answer 9

Basically NO!

any scheme that asks you to register but NEVER discloses what you are doing is to be avoided.

the only ones I have found are either envelope stuffing/addressing mailshot work, sewing repairs or proof reading.

none of which are particularly stimulating as they are essentially piece work.  many companies will allow staff to work form home where practicable but they only do this for Senior staff!!

of these proof reading is probably the best option but you must show that you have qualifications in the are for which you are proof reading
