Good ways of making a bit of extra cash???

wylo · 28-06-2009 02:39PM #1

Ok I have a job thats just BARELY keeping me by. I would like to make approx 100/150euro a week extra. I have about 4 evenings a week free and am willing to put in extra effort and time for this money.

Any suggestions? Any stupid hard working money extra earners in these tough times? Anyone ever do the whole delivering catalogue routine? How did it fare out?
Note that telling me to sell drugs will be WAAAY too predictable a joke to write down!!

galwayrush · 28-06-2009 02:41PM

Me too,barely surviving. I'd like about €2500 extra a week.

Sulmac · 28-06-2009 02:43PM

More seriously there may still be some scope for low cost services like window washing.

See here.

Those involved in prostitution activities refer to this sector of the underground economy as "The Game."

Although I'm not involved in this sector of the underground economy. :cool:

Have you a car? maybe contacting the local chinese or chipper asking do they need a deliver man.??

wylo · 28-06-2009 03:05PM

Seriously... :pac:

I do the odd marketing nixer myself. It isn't a regular gig but i test products and answer questions on said products.

Check out nixers.com, a lot of stuff on offer are usually product promotions (so they only want pretty girls for that! I'm too old :-)) but you never know, you might see something suitable.

CutzEr · 28-06-2009 03:57PM

Sell dvd's you downloaded off the internet.

€5/1
€15/4

Wertz · 28-06-2009 04:05PM

Door to door begging...if you're the shy type, try bringing a hand written sign telling potential contributors about your hard upbringing in [insert country], your twelve dependent children living in a skip behind the local retail park and the fact that you've not eaten this week.
Practice your "feel very sorry for me" face in the mirror before you hit the streets.
Shabby clothing and body smells are optional but will obviously add to the effect.

Let us know how you get on...oh and let me know the areas you intend to cover so we don't "double up"...that's bad for profit margins...

Sea Sharp · 28-06-2009 04:10PM

Wash random people's car windows when they are stuck in traffic. Homeless clothes preferable.

sneakerfreak · 28-06-2009 04:59PM

If your not afraid of having your face seen go on to gaydar and other gay sites,post pics of you exercising in jockstraps/boxers/yfronts etc then sell the used smelly underwear to guys who are into it,you will be amazed how much you make.You can also sell your piss to some of them,some kind of authentication will be needed though.

Also trainers and dirty sweaty socks that you have been wearing,they love that shít,again you will need to show pics of you doing it.

Buy a load in penneys of a couple different kinds underwear/socks etc,take one set of shots in each and make sure and charge for postage.

oh and dont use ur real address,rent a P.O. Box from An Post for like €100/200 a year

Walk around town for about an hour a day looking fro coins on the ground. Stick to busy areas (beside shops, supermarkets) and you'll be amazed at how much you can find. I found about a euro overall last friday night after a good hour's work.

dsmythy · 28-06-2009 05:45PM

Offer shopping services for old ladies. Yeah it's a bit random.

Greenmachine · 28-06-2009 06:02PM

Ah no, it's not a dangerous job tbh. You just have to be careful and not bang into anyone or get knocked down etc. I love my job.

You're a piece of work,my friend.
I've always maintained sex is where the money is,recession or no recession.
There's blokes who'll sign up to sites for 20 quid a month to watch webcams of fat birds pissing on the floor.

already offloaded that for a 2am mixed meat kebab , worth every f*ckin penny

In All Fairness · 28-06-2009 11:30PM

Heh chief, wouldn't recommend delivering leaflets (works out at about €3.50 p/h although I have the chest of a 65 yr old;you would be quicker) unless as a risky short term venture where you only deliver to one in three houses and take your chances.

If your English is good and you have any experience you might pick up some barwork but that's becoming tough too.

Anyway, best of luck with the hunt.

Alright then, I'll give you €2 for your conscience.

allthedoyles · 29-06-2009 12:01AM

Around here , stuffing letterboxes with fliers , is fast and efficient.

The guys normally complete one housing estate and then dump the rest of the fliers in the nearest dustbin.

Option 2........why not reply to that email ,which states that you have won the German lotto......................you never know '' it could be you ''

sit on o' connell bridge with shabby clothing and a rag over you and an empty mc donalds cup and as the cup fills up take some of the money out and put it in your pocket ... you'd be surprised :rolleyes:

or then again with your car stick out leaflets stating your a milk man and if you get any orders just pop down to the local shop

legendal · 29-06-2009 02:30AM

Have you any skills that you can put into a bit of freelancing work? If you can write the English good, and have interesting ideas, why not become a columnist? http://www.ehow.com/how_2141759_become-columnist-newspaper.html

Or just become a gigolo. :pac:
