Hello,

Just introducing myself. I'm a 32 yr old mum in the SW. I found this site when I started looking into ways of earning money from home and it's been brilliant. I have a temp contract at work which runs out in August and my aim is to be earning enough money to not have to find another job so I can focus on being a stay at home mum. Thankfully I only need to earn about £800 to cover this when you take what we are currently spending on childcare out of the equation. Easily doable looking on here.

I had already started doing some things before I found this site. I've been entering competitions for years, and rarely need to pay for birthday and Christmas presents for the extended family and I sell on what I don't want. I write emails in to the trashy woman's magazines. Nobody seems to bother doing that and most months it nets me at least £50 for something I spend less than an hour on. I also spent a good few hours last month typing up my old uni notes and putting them on to a note selling website. Only made £8 so far but now they are done its a passive way to make a few £. Seriously considering putting them together into Ebook form for each topic and putting them on as kindle books.

I also have a blog and attached social media to it but I had never thought to make money out of it. I am definitely looking into that now. It's about losing weight as a fat vegan so quite a narrow niche as well which I'm told is good. I get a few hundred views every week so it isn't doing too bad.

I've signed up to quite a few of the survey sites and downloaded the apps to my phone. I don't have access to a PC very often so am limited to what I can do on an ipad until I earn enough for a laptop. It will be my first purchase. I'm updating my CV and will then apply to leapforce. And I'm going to look into matched betting. I want to be 100% sure I totally understand it before signing up to do the free trial. I'm less likely to get flustered and make a silly mistake then.

Anything else I can do? I would like to build up slowly if I can. Don't want to get too used to having loads of extra money to start struggling again when its the only income I have.

Hi @maisiemog

Great to have you on here and posting.

Seem you are already off to the races with a lot of areas of earning online.

There's nothing wrong with having a very niche blog you know as if anything you are going to end up with more engaged users than a general one as they would be happy just to know there is someone else blogging about situation.

I would say once you get a laptop you are really good to go. Leapforce will bring in around £600+ a month and Matched Betting around £700+ I would say so hopefully that will help you

I would investigate mystery shopping. A lot of jobs I am offered are tweets, e.mail's, phone calls or receiving letters. I also get to keep goods I purchase. Today we got to taste test some lovely sausages. What site do you use for your uni notes?

Hi,

I use notesale for my notes. They do take a percentage of your proceeds though. It took me a while to type them up and convert them to PDF but now it's done I don't need to do anything. I've put them on for between £1 and £5 dependant on the topic and the size of the document. I'm lucky that my degree subject means the facts won't go out of date so I can basically leave them on there. If they make money that's fab. If not I haven't spent anything other than a bit of my time. I am going to put them into ebook form and put them on the kindle market though at some point as I think that will make me more money in the long term.

Thanks my son was looking for something to do with his Spanish teaching GCSE notes, he has moved to a new school where they don't teach it and it seems a shame to just throw them away.
