I have lots of suggestions. All are online sites where you can earn money and I get paid regularly by all the sites listed. Through trial and error, I've discovered which sites were to be trusted; Legitimate...Here goes: Surveys You have to do a lot of surveys, but there are so many to choose from, the payout comes quick! MyOp4G: MySurvey: www.mysurvey.com Ipsos-Isay: www.i-say.com iPoll: www.ipoll.com Writing Articles and Blog Posts Small pay per article, but articles are short and it's very easy to reach the $10 or $20 payout amount Hire Writers: www.hirewriters.com i-Writer: www.iwriter.com Knowledge Nuts: www.knowledgenuts.com Write Reviews: Get paid for writing in-depth reviews on products of all types Software Judge: www.softwarejudge.com View Point: www.viewpoint.com Review Stream: www.reviewstream.com Names New Businesses & Websites: These are contests-whoever comes up with the best names wins...usually $100-$300 Squad Help: www.squadhelp.com- Naming Force: www.namingforce.com Microtasking: Mturk: www.mturk.com...Hint: to make the most money, use the drop-down 'sort by' menu on the top left to see the highest paying jobs first. Then, check the button on the upper right hand side of the screen-"for which I'm qualified"- it's mostly surveys and other well paying tasks. Try Free Products: Crowd Tap: www.crowdtap.com-really easy to earn the points needed to cash out AND you get to try products for free!

You could join a BPO. You mostly just have to have good communication skills in order to get a job at some BPO.

Put your resume online. Indeed.com is a good place, I know a couple people who got contacted by employers there and got jobs. Another suggestion--be a temp! When I was able to work I loved being a temp because I worked when I wanted to and it never got boring because the assignments, for the most part, were short. I got to work at all kinds of different businesses, usually when someone was on vacation or absent for another reason. It is decent money and they have all kinds of different jobs ranging from manual labor to executive assistant and everything in between. Are you a nurse or another skilled profession? There are employment agencies specializing in certain skills, look up your skill and see what is there. I hope you can find something soon!

That is a great idea as you do not have to stay with one place if you don't like it.

@ramapo17 Yes, and many times a temp is hired on permanently! Temp agencies now offer vacation time, insurance, and other benefits for those employees who work a certain number of hours per week.

Buying and selling stuff on Ebay or Gumtree can be easy money if you know what to look for! Choose something you know about. Even picking up items from charity shops or car boot sales and selling for a profit of a few quid can quickly build up. If you have any experience of dogs dog walking is an easy business to start and very profitable once you build it up. More people than ever before are using walkers rather than leaving their pet at home all day. Online stuff like surveys, freelancing sites or writing sites can make you some spare cash. Very few of them will make you full time money though and some are very time consuming for the little you earn.

@cscaccia Yep I quite enjoy it! Especially making money out of stuff that's just lying unused at home anyway!

I do surveys and some article writing but I think in order to make real money you need something to sell..

Yeah...There are 2 sites where you can earn some big money. Squadhelp.com and NamingForce.com. They are contests that run from 3 days to 2 weeks, roughly. You think up names for new websites, businesses...that sort of thing, based on what they tell you they want. At the end of the contest time, they pick a winner. The pay is usually between $100 and $300 dollars.

Grab points is a fairly easy app to make money for doing tasks, watching videos etc. That one is the main one I use but I also use applike, surveys on the go, qme. You won't become rich but they pay out pretty decent amounts depending on how much time you put into them.
