    Clean out your clutter
    Look in your cupboards, If they're full of clothes you
    haven't worn, or 'good ideas at the time' you haven't
    used, for a while (if ever) you don't need them. So
    why not sell them to someone else who does? Use eBay
    or go to a car boot sale and turn old stuff you don't
    want any more into money in your pocket. Not
    only that,but de-cluttering can be therapeutic.

    Parking is a real issue up and down the
    country and, chances are, if you live
    near a train station, hospital or even
    a popular sporting arena, there could be
    people willing to pay for the privilege
    of parking on your drive or in your garage.

    Turn your car into a rolling advert
    Turn your daily commute into a money-making
    operation. Companies will pay you for displaying
    ads on your car. These companies are selective
    about who they work with. But they choose
    based on the make and model of the vehicle,
    as well as the driver's geographic
    location.

    Lift share
    Bag a cheap lift or turn the empty seats
    in your car into a second source of
    income. Either way you can halve the
    cost of your commute or slash your outlay
    on long journeys.

    Become an extra
    Always watching TV and thinking
    'I could do that'? Getting on TV is easier
    than you think. Extras earn a basic £90 a
    day for turning up, rising to about £200
    if a spoken line or overtime is involved.
