Look at what treasures you have lying around the house
When sorting out your house, you’d be surprised at just what potential treasures you have lying about that people will want to buy from you. From something such as selling American Eagle gold coins that you might own, to second-hand clothes, and furniture that you don’t want anymore. You can take things such as jewellery to a specialist – especially if you think it is worth a lot, but items such as clothing can be sold on sites such as Vinted and furniture on local marketplaces such as Facebook. You could be shocked at how much money you can make from items just lying around not being used in your home!
Find some freelance work
Another great way to make some extra cash from home is to get some freelance work in. There are many things you can do, from writing blog posts and doing social media for a business or individual, to photography, or helping out as a virtual assistant. These are all good ways if you are creative to help bring in a bit more money without having to leave the house. Remember to be organised, stick to deadlines and always underpromise and overdeliver as opposed to the other way round!
Look into survey sites
You may have heard of or seen survey sites, but never used them. These are another easy way to make some money from home and you don’t need to put too much thought into them. Infact, you can simply sit in front of the TV or do other activities at the same time as answering surveys. You don’t get paid a lot for these necessarily, but they can be done at any time, anywhere and are easy to do. If you put aside a few minutes each day then the money can add up to a reasonable amount.
These are just a few things you can do that can help you to make extra cash from home. You’d be surprised at how successful you can be without having to leave your house and to boost your bank balance. What are some top tips you have for making some extra cash?
