Hi Ellie Thanks for this, I've just had a look at the site. It looks interesting, am I right in thinking that customers mix and match components to make their own jewellery? If I'm honest, I'm not too keen on paying out for a kit as ideally I'm looking for something that I can promote online...

Thanks Jon! Really like the new site by the way. :)

Hi all Just looking for some advice about any opportunities similar to Kitsy Lane here in the UK. Kitsy Lane is a direct sales opportunity, which works by selling jewellery though an online boutique that the Kitsy Lane company provide. It's just for residents in the US, so I was wondering if...

I haven't had any warnings at all from them... very interesting. I'm not listing mine as digital downloads or anything like that, mine's actually under educational resources, because that's what these are. I'll keep you posted in case I get any warnings or experience any problems when I start...

Thanks for clarifying the terms! Wow can't believe they suspended your account for that, especially if you're delivering a useful product. It seems the seller is taking a risk in that case but I haven't had a problem so far (been doing this for a few months) and I've seen others doing the same...

Thanks Jon! :) I've never come across that before with eBay banning my account. I say in my description that I'll email the buyer and then I just use the details which are on the paypal invoice. Not had any problems yet with it... There might be a way of emailing through eBay and sending as...

Hi all I just wanted to share with you all something I'm working on at the minute which is in very early stages.... but has some mileage I think. I've been creating my own digital products which I'm selling on eBay. I don't mean digital products like an app (I wish!) but basically I'm...

Yes, eBay could a be different tactic to try! I've seen people offering WordPress websites on there before actually with their portfolio included in the description. Advertising on eBay would actually be cheaper than Gumtree in this case. I wondered about including different listings on...

Thanks Jon. I had been thinking about whether Facebook would be an option and I've never tried FreeIndex before so will give that a try too.

Interesting! I don't have any experience of selling domains on but I do have experience of researching domains so I just wanted to add to this thread that domain names which refer to 'how to do something' might be more valuable than others - domains which include the words 'tips', 'info'...

Hi all In the past, I've advertised my freelancing services on Gumtree (when it used to be free). I liked Gumtree not only because it was free and attracted visitors to the ad locally, but also I could add new services when I wanted to through another advert (I offer a few different freelancing...

Hi Lindsay I had an eBay shop once - I didn't sell clothes but sold various other items including baby items. I found that eBay is a very competitive marketplace, so like Jon says understanding the market is important. What would be your unique selling point for example - price perhaps, or...

Hello! I just wanted to say that I'm really pleased to be working with The Money Shed in this way. Since I came across The Money Shed, I've found some really useful information and ideas about earning extra money. It's great to be part of a network of like minded people! Here's to a fruitful...

I hardly take any time off, although this year I am taking Bank Holidays. Sort of anyway, no doubt I'll be working on my blog or something similar! I just worry too much about losing money to take any time off. Not good really!

Hi Gemma What about also planning special occasion birthday parties to widen your options other than weddings and hen parties? With party planning, it wouldn't matter where you live as such because a lot of research could be done online and remotely. It would be a case of advertising though...

In the past I’ve blown way too much money on buying brand new ‘stuff’. When I bought my first home, I filled it with brand new furniture, knick knacks and gadgets. It all looked very nice to start with but now it’s all rather worn and tired looking. I used to spend a lot of money buying clothes...

Hi Fiona, I used to, but I seem to have lost it! Am I right in thinking that you can use it at Sainsburys? I shop at Asda but I seem to remember that they stopped being a partner for the cashback card a couple of years ago? Hayley

I also use Utility Warehouse for my utilities (4 services) and I'm really happy with them. The company has saved me a lot of money. I did also set up as a distributor myself a couple of years ago, but I didn't feel that confident with the network marketing side of it so ended up dropping it. I...

Hi Ted - my blog address is www.diseasecalleddebt.com It's primarily a blog about getting out of debt but also has money saving tips on there too. :)

That sounds like a great idea Jon. I can imagine lots of retired people wanting to take a class like this. Did you have to book a venue for that or did you do this in your home / theirs? Group workshops seem like a more efficient way of making money as you say. Another thing I do outside of my...
