Ok so you have a lot of holidays booked and trips you would love to afford to go on ? But with trains, buses, food etc a bit of extra cash goes a long way. In this post I will show you how to make a bit of extra money at home. All you need is a computer and Wi-Fi, or some of these things you could do via a smartphone.

  • MAKE MONEY FROM OLD ITEMS :
  • Sell off old items on eBay or vinted. Especially clothes would make a great side hustle. You can also sell on websites such as gumtree or preloved etc. Vinted at the moment is a very popular way to sell your old items for that bit of extra cash! You have a 1,000 tax free trading allowance on vinted before you need to pay tax. You probably will only make around £ 200 quickly from this side hustle but that’s still good. Check it out here : Vinted
  • EARN GIFT CARDS :
  • Earn Gift Cards by doing quizzes and searching the web with Microsoft rewards. This is super easy to do, You basically earn points every time you search on Bing and also take part in fun quizzes. You search the web daily anyway so why not earn points from it, Its a bit slow to accumulate but perfect for redeeming at the end of a few months, you can redeem it for things like Tesco, lastminute.com, uber, pizza express and also chances to win cool prizes. Although there’s no tangible cash to be made you can use this money to buy food for your holiday and trips etc. Check it out here : Microsoft rewards
  • HOME CRAFTS OR BAKING :
  • If you have a talent for making jewellery, painting or any homemade crafts You should start up trying to sell on ebay or etsy! Not everyone is a at home crafter I know but this one is great if you do have a talent, try to make extra money while monetizing your craft hobby ! This can also apply to baking, If you make killer cupcakes or muffins/cookies you can try making them and sell them in batches to your local café. You need to ask for local café manager and drop in a sample box with your details. Its worth a shot.
  • RENTING OUT YOUR PARKING SPACE : This may never have crossed your mind before but if you have driveway or a garage and you live in a place that has many visitors or near a city where someone may need to pay to park you could offer a cheaper price and basically earn money for nothing. I guess you might need space for your own car too but if your lucky enough to have a space to rent out this can be a goldmine. rent to people who need a space for one night! or near an airport maybe they need to park for 7 days. Check out these websites to find out more : Rent your parking space , Just park and Park on my driveway
  • START A BLOG : This one will take time to build but can generate a good passive income every month, you make money with selling advert space on your blog or becoming an affiliate with companies and services. Read my FREE course on starting a blog here!
  • SELL YOUR SKILLS : Sell tutorial videos or private 1 on 1 messaging for things such as bodybuilding, cooking, podcasts, nutrition even sewing. Basically become an online tutor and share your skills in return for cash. A good website for this is patreon! Sell digital products or online courses to your fans/subcribers. Talk about what you love and what you are good at and get paid every month.
  • BECOME AN ONLINE TEACHER : Start a small online business teaching any subject at teachable.com. I think this is an amazing opportunity to share your skills and you can do it in the comfort of your own home or around your full time job. You create your lessons and have full control on pricing etc.
  • DO PAID SURVEYS ONLINE : I know. I know a lot of people think these type of sites are a scam but a few of them really do pay off. They are slow though to build up some credit before you can redeem what you have earned. So committing at least 30 minuets per day to doing these type of things will make you an extra £100 to £200 so its not bad for 30 minuets out your day. Most popular quiz site is probably swagbucks where you can earn pints to play games, answer questions or just search the web. You can exchange your points for giftcards or paypal cash.

How I save hundreds of pounds shopping online with the paypal honey browser extension | Save on millions of products! 💲💰🤑

SummerLeave a comment

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share with you one of my favourite browser extensions that helps me save hundreds ( literally hundreds ) of pounds every month while I’m doing my online shopping. I cant believe I don’t believe i done my online shopping without honey in the past. At first i thought it was just a few coupons or codes that you could save maybe like 5 pounds or so and didn’t see the point in installing it when it first came out. I thought it was a scam, I’m a really big skeptic but it was only when a friend actually showed me proof of the savings they had from honey and i was like wow!

In this post I will show you some screenshots of my savings and my honey profile so you can see how it works, its super fast and easy to download and make an account with honey and you can start saving straight away. if you haven’t had honey before and you get it because of this blog post.. then please thank me in the comment section after you save !!

PayPal Honey, formerly known as Honey, is an American technology company and subsidiary of PayPal known for developing a browser extension that aggregates and automatically applies online coupons on eCommerce websites

– wikipedia

Once you have downloaded the honey extension and made an account you can start saving on books, clothing, travel, hotels and cosmetics etc. Honey will do all the work for you and will pop up with coupons on eligible webistes as you are surfing and shopping. Your profile can be personalised to your tastes and you can follow each merchant that you are interested in, for instance I follow boohoo and holland and barrett etc. See picture below.

Above this is a list of the stores i follow on honey, you can access this by clicking the profile icon on top right side of screen that is pictured circled in red in the picture above then click on ” followed stores ” also circled in red on left side of screen, this will show you who you follow. You can see another red circled are ” get deal alert emails ” i have mine turned off just now as I follow a lot of sites and don’t want too many emails in my inbox. Honey applies coupons automatically at checkouts anyway so I can still shop and checkout without ever having to come onto the official honey website.

You can add items you may want to buy to your droplist which basically keeps you updated on any deals on the particular item, on the droplist tab you can also create a ” collection ” and name each after a topic of choice, like mine I did ” home ” and ” fitness ” etc. You can save items here for looking at in the future or to keep track of wanted items. i also have a ” gift ” collection for friends and family. It kinda feels a bit like pinterest when you are making collections but it is so great to keep organised.

To access your droplist on honey just go to droplist at top of page circled in red in the screengrab above and this is where you will control your droplist items and your collections. see above circled in red “ create new collection ” click on this to name your collections. So easy !

Above is an example of what paypal honey will look like while you are shopping online, the tab in the red circle will display all the money saving info you need for that particular website. I love seeing it pop up and also when I am in checkout I love when honey automatically applies the coupon codes.

Anything you are needing to buy you can easily search in the search bar and from here you can see your money saving deals, add to droplist or collections etc. The website has a beautiful design and functions really easily. If you have any questions or thoughts on paypal honey let me know in the comment section… Happy Saving !
