muldoon74 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I need an extra few quid a week (legitimately, i.e. nothing dodgy) to help pay some stuff off early.. Anyone have an extra job? What does it pay? What skills are required? I've been a private hire driver, delivery driver and current full time proper job hours don't allow for these types of positions.. Have been considering something in data entry from home but there are so many companies its a hard to know what's genuine and not just a scam. Could easily fit in 2 hours a day doing data entry or surveys but as mentioned so many companies and who's genuine???? Over to you JKB...

rudi must stay Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Lot of money online Depop eBay and Vinted. You don't make loads but you make some money and what's more it's fun you can choose what markets you want to go into. I got an eBay 6 years ago and I've made 3000 sales, I'm not the best businessman in the world but I enjoy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrysmithsgloves Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Look for another job that pays better,been in a similar position to yourself, delivering Chinese after work,was good tax free money at the time,but decided to get a better job. Unfortunately the money jobs were abroad, missed a lot working away,the upshot was I could retire at 55 Mortgage free . Mrs works part time,not rich,but comfortable now👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs works part time,not rich,but comfortable now👍🏻 Could easily get another job with my main (current) skill set as I have a class2 license. Actually for first time on many a year am happy in current position. It's not that hard and although you get the occasional shit week or day, generally home by 7 on the worst days. I could push 40k a year easily. But for that I will have no home life, be working every other weekend and be absolutely knackered 99% of the time. Working abroad not an option. Almost all delivery jobs these days are deliveroo or just eat etc so not much cash in hand anymore. My current job utilises my skills yet I am job and finish. Start at 12, paid for the day yet finish when I finish. Usually under 30 hours a week. That's why I'm looking for just a few hours day doing something easy to get maybe up to an extra £100 a week. Was thinking data entry online or similar as I have years of admin and pc based work so am up on using a pc etc. Want to pay some things off early so my wife can retire in 5 years at 65. And I can get a bigger bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of Depop so will look into that. Vinted seems to me like ebay but solely for clothes. May look into that aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threedoorsdown Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 A few of my younger family members sign up on justeat etc as a pushbike and just use their cars. Can earn about £70 for four hours work on a weekend. You apparently get an app that pays you instantly aswell. 2024 and people need second jobs to live. Ridiculous.

This hoodie was one of the fist things that popped up. Seeing the price things go for (i.e. sub £10-£15) I'd have to put a fair amount of work into it to make it pay.. I can think of maybe £150 -200 quids worth of stuff in my wardrobes between my wifes unworn stuff and mine. After that I'll have to start looking for stuff elsewhere which may start costing me money.. Re vinted etc... do people actually buy un-ironed t-shirts from strangers off the internet? Seems to me that nothing is ironed and the way to sell is to make it look as 2nd hand (but clean) as possible.. Might give it a bash just to clear the wardrobe out tbh! 😂(which vinted was how vinted was started in the first place..) Re CPC and agency work, CPC needs renewed 2027 but theres no agency gonna give me 2-2.5 hours a day monday to friday (I've worked weekends and public holidays for 20+years before I got this job, not going back to that shite!!.. Weekends are mine now! 😂) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She sold a pair of converse I paid 25-30 for years ago for 40😂 there are alot of moaners on it, 1 guy bought a white shirt for 1.50 I wore it once to a job interview and he wanted 75p back because he said it had baubles on it. I couldnt be arsed with dealing with that shite. if your only looking for 1 or 2 hours a day its gonna be hard to find something, if you have your bus licence you could easily get on school runs.

Gershwin Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 What's better for selling street wear like Carhartt/Stussy/Dickies/Stray Rats? Depop or Vinted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovecraft Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Either prostitution or selling drugs. Both tax free income. Or cover both and sell drugs to prostitutes. I've heard it's a really high mark-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
