Making some extra money from your own home
By Barbara Mclullich
We all need to make a bit on the side with the recession hitting us all very hard. They say 'an Englishman's home is his castle', so how about letting your castle earn some money for you. Have you thought about may be renting out one of your rooms for some extra cash, it could be for short term let for visiting foreign students and lecturers or a long term let. Look at the governments rent-a-room scheme and visit the websites www.easyroommate.com and www.spareroom.co.uk How about running a B&B, do you live near something of interest, have you a room with a view. With the access of the internet now you have an easy and inexpensive way of advertising your room or rooms. Are you within walking space of a station, exhibition centres, Wembley stadium, or anywhere that holds annual events. Then you could advertise B&B just for these specific dates. Or how about renting your driveway out for these sort of events. You would be surprised how many make a lot of money from renting their drives and sometimes even their homes during Wimbledon etc. Visit www.parkatmyhouse.com or www.yourparkingspace.co.uk two good sites to look at. Is you garage hardly used then you can rent your storage space out for others to store things. Some other good sites are www.spareground.co.uk which has free listings from accommodation to driveways. What about seeing your house on a film set. There are agencies that you can join which has pictures of your home for prospective film producers to browse through to use for the next 'Downtown' episode, www.mylocations.co.uk Is your garden to big for you to look after ? Well why not turn it into allotments. Growing your own vegetables has become so popular that there are waiting lists for allotments. You could also grow your own vegetables and save money as well as make some money at the same time. Look at www.plotsearch.com and the governments www.hmrc.gov.uk in case you need to apply for permission. Are you an expert at something then tutoring at home is another excellent way to bring in some extra cash. Register for free with www.firsttutors.co.uk |
