Make Money With Surveys
 It's true that there are a lot of scams involving surveys but there are a few good ones.If you like completing surveys and polls for money one genuine company is You Gov. They are looking for people for their panels. Here in the UK we often see their polls in newspapers and quoted on television. Payments are made for completing surveys. It's not big money but it is extra cash. They also offer payments for introducing new members to their panels. The cheque shown is one I received from You Gov for £50 (about $100) to verify that they pay out okay. Labels: Surveys |

Make Money Marketing Patterns
 For as long as I can remember, my wife has made and designed dresses, though not quite as much nowadays.She has a stack of patterns for dresses, she has made in the past, and also for stuffed animals, like teddy bears, that she also used to enjoy making. The thing here is that many people are unable to make patterns themselves. And this is for all types of craft work, including such things as knitting, sewing, embroidery, tapestry, quilting, toys, carpentry and so on. If you can make the patterns for other craft workers then there are pounds, dollars and euros to be made. And once you have created the pattern you have it for life to sell over and over again.

Make Money House Sitting
 More and more people feel uneasy about leaving their homes unattended while they are on holiday or on business trips. This is a niche that could produce profits. An example of this is the service offered by Guardian Angels.They also want 'angels' to house sit details here. It is however something that anyone could set up in their own area and might be ideal for someone retired. Not a massive earner but something that could also be enjoyable for the right people with time on their hands. Labels: house sitting |

Make Money With Jewellery
 This opportunity can range from making and selling inexpensive jewellery, to producing custom designed or novelty items. Whatever quality or speciality one opts for, will determine the method of sale. Lower cost and gimmicky items might best be reserved for craft fairs, party plan, car boots sales or in bulk to local shops.Higher quality items could be created to customers' specifications or else produced specifically for sale on a commission basis in local craft and jewellers shops, at craft fairs, trade fairs - the opportunities are endless! Kate runs an interesting blog about making and selling jewellery where you will find several useful articles. Also more information: Jewelry Making Labels: Craft work, Jewellery |

Make Money With A Free Online Shop With Zlio
 Do you fancy your own online store, with a full range of products, and all for free? Well you can have all of this with Zlio.Okay, so what is it? I'll give you the official description from Zlio: 'With Zlio, you can open your own online shop in 5 minutes. You don't even need to have your own products. Zlio lets you choose from an extensive catalogue of thousands of products and allows you to design your ZlioShop quickly and easily! Your ZlioShop can provide: Your favorite products. Items from your wishlist. Products within the theme of your choice. Products aimed towards a specific group of people (new moms, video games fans, rap music lovers, etc) You can then offer your ZlioShop's services to your friends, relatives, neighbors, colleagues, on your blog, via messenger, on online forums, just like a professional vendor! Shortly after you've set up shop, your site will automatically be referenced among the main search engines and will attract visitors with no efforts on your part! Thanks to Zlio, anyone can run their own store without ever having to worry about deliveries or customer service! Join the Zlio revolution!' My thoughts: Firstly it takes much longer than five minutes to set up a Zlio store properly. In five minutes all you would have time to do is the basic store - but without any products. Puting on the products takes an age and quite frankly I made a right pig's ear of it on my first attempt. It was my own fault as I didn't really know what I wanted to sell. There are many categories and lots of products to choose from. It's best to decide on a theme, relative to your blog, and stick with this. I didn't, unfortunately, so I had to start all over again. All products have a different commission rate, as they are from various suppliers. Commissions are paid to members via PayPal. There is also commission payable (10% and 5% over a further 2 levels) for referring other people into the program. At the present time products are aimed at the USA market, though UK and Canada will be following soon. It looks promising providing: (a) You make a decent job of your Zlio store regarding products, layout etc. To me it looks better than the Amazon aStore. (b) You can get vistors to the store. (c) You can refer others to Zlio. (d) You have visitors to your blog from the USA. If anyone has any sound experience with Zlio your opinion is welcome. Labels: Internet, Online Shop |

Profit From Cherished Car Number Plates
 This is something for UK residents but maybe there is something similar in a few other countries as well.Take a look at the motoring section of magazines such as Exchange and Mart, or do a search, and you'll discover a wealth of car number plates offered to discerning drivers. Prices range from £100 or so, for a number a little out of the ordinary, to something like £50,000 for a plate that spells a name. When you look into this business you'll find that several dealers are selling the same number plate. What they are doing is simply acting as agents for the owner of the vehicle currently bearing the number plate. They are working on a commission basis - so no big outlay involved. All that is really required to start up something similar is government information regarding the transfer of number plates and the cost of advertising. |

Specialised Greetings Cards Make Money
 Greetings Cards seem to be all very similar. I bet at Christmas you get loads that look alike. Usually from the same shops and stores. Often the same cards are repeated year after year.So wouldn't it be nice if you could get a card for a loved one, or on a special occasion, which is unique and different from the norm? This is a service that could be set up using DTP or by craft workers and those of an artistic bent. And, of course, it can make you money! Labels: Craft work |
