Good ways to make money

List your ways of how you've made your money excluding the normal day job

I'll start off with my little fortune. I applied to Google adsense a while back and initially I didn't make that much about £1-2 a day so it wasn't really worth it for a full time thing but I was doing my A levels alongside this so money wasn't a concern due to my parents providing and funding my expenditure.

Fast Forward till now and with a lot of effort put it I've managed to rack up £664 from pretty much doing nothing which is pretty good and it's still going strong.

Before getting involved with adsense, I had a friend who introduced me to making money through online surveys I racked up around £100 on them but after I switched sides and got people to do surveys for me which racked me up $352

Maybe you could share your stories of how you made some extra cash

i think the most obvious and tried and tested way to make money over time, is to somehow buy a property somewhere in Greater London

You must have some serious money if that's an initial investment

I'm talking about the little things and eventually building up to such a stage as investing in properties

I can't really tell you otherwise I'd give away my niche but it's about spotting trends in society and producing something based on that with ads placed relevant to that subject matter. More popularity = more traffic = more money

When you say 'full time' how much were you earning on average per hour.

It didn't really work that way but the most I've earned from a 24 hour cycle is £60

You create a website. Place an Adsense banner advert on it. Get paid everytime someone clicks the banner.
I've made a decent income from managing Twitter accounts. Well, not income, free products to the value of:

1) £150 a month
2) £150 a month
3) £75 cash a month
4) £75 a month

However due to time constraints I am only continuing with one of the above.


If I was a student again, I would be diving straight into social media management for companies who don't currently utilise it.

Contacting companies, telling them what I could offer. I would do a free trial for a month.

I do free online surveys/tasks too, but for gift cards.
Don't make millions, but you can easily make enough for an Amazon gift card a day.

Never got how people earn money doing surveys. I signed up to a few but it seems like a never ending application process
