There’s a tonne of posts for teens and students out there showcasing
ways to make money over the summer period while everyone’s off school,
college or whatever it is you do in term-time. The only problem is that
most of them tell you to go babysitting or pester people to let you mow
their lawn; most people don’t want to look after snotty toddlers nor do
they want to slave under the scorching sun until someone’s lawn is
spotless and even then… you might end up picking the weeds too.

Start an eBay Business
For all you smart-ass motherf’ers out there that think you’re funny by
planning to say “oh, what about going to post office… that’s outside”
before you even read the post, suck on my hypothetical cucumber. You
don’t need to touch a single item, nor get off your behind to post a
thing to run an eBay business. The magic is in the method, simply use
arbitrage, I’ve mentioned this is in a few methods before and in simple
terms, arbitrage is the of selling something you don’t own yet, in order
to buy the product with your customers money at a lower price, so that
you can keep the difference as a profit.
For example, I will go to a website of my choice and find a popular
movie or game, this movie or game cost’s £10. I will then advertise this
item for sale on eBay for £15, even though I don’t own it, and copy all
the images and item specifics into my eBay listing. Upon sale of said
item, I will use my customers money (£15) to buy the item from the
cheaper site (for £10) and put in their address details so the item is
delivered straight to the customer. I then keep the £5 (- eBay fees) as
my profit. Most large retailers allow you to use free gift-options to
make sure that no invoices are left in your parcel, so no, they don’t
know how much you paid for it to get sent to them.
Do Paid User Testing
Sites such as WhatUsersDo pay
people to “test” websites and applications, and no, you don’t have to
be technologically gifted to complete the tests. Companies go to user
testing sites so they can get feedback from a huge range of people all
varying in age, geo-location and computer skills. I wrote a post and did
a video on user testing sites here.
Get your friends and family to sign up as your referral
If you’ve got some friends that would like to make money online too,
send them to sites that have referral programs; referral program’s allow
you to earn from your referred user’s earnings. Most of the user
testing sites (mentioned above) offer referral programs but WhatUsersDo is probably the best one for this.
If your friends have any sort of computer skills then get them to sign up as your referral to Freelancer.com or Fiverr.com
as they can bag larger sums by completing larger projects, which
fortunately for you, you’ll be getting a nice creamy percentage of.
Get your friends family to buy things through your Amazon affiliate links
You can earn, I think, £5 per free sign-up to Amazon Prime that you
refer, and it’s completely free for them to use; if you know that
someone is buying something online soon to then refer them through your Amazon Affiliates Associates
link so that you can get a percentage of the sale price. Convincing
them won’t be difficult if you can set them up with free one-day
delivery too!
Start a blog
If you’ve got very little to do, then blog about something you’re
interested about. If you’re into games, then blog about games, tie this
in with a YouTube channel where you do reviews and gameplay videos and
you’ll get a decent amount of traffic. It’s a great way for you to
further get people to do number 3 and number 4, sign up via referral and
buy via your affiliate links.
It also gives you good reason to be playing video games all the time, because you’re making money from it!
