We've got much more than just than quick money-makers on the site. Sign up for our free weekly newsletter here to be first to find out about the best deals on personal finance products, plus great bargains and money-savers.



1. Rent out a room - tax free income


You can make up to a whopping £4,250 a year by renting a room or rooms without having to pay tax on it. You can advertise your room for free on Spareroom.co.uk - it covers the whole of the UK. For more ideas, take a look at our article on renting a room.

If permanently sharing your nest doesn't appeal, consider taking in foreign students short-term. English language schools are always looking for good homes for their growing number of students.Depending on where you live and how nice your place is, you can make between £35 and £150 a week - read this article on hosting foreign students to find out more.

You don’t just have to rent to people, though. If you have an empty, dry basement or a big loft, you could potentially advertise them as storage space. If you have a cellar or garage that has its own access - other than your front door - you will be able to charge more for offering clients their own key and 24-hour access.You could make anything from £5 a week for storing a few boxes in your loft to around £50 for filling a garage in central London.



2.Rent anything

If you sell your junk you can make some cash but it's a one-off. Think renting, though, and the money comes in regularly. There are sites - like Rentrino and RentNotBuy - that let you advertise pretty much anything you can think of, from video cameras to baby accessories.

You can also rent out your storage space - advertise your cellar or attic space for free on Spareground.

If you have a driveway or garage you don't use, you can also contact Park Let or Parkatmyhouse.com to advertise your space for people needing parking in your area.

This could actually become quite a big earner if you live near a stadium, airport, or in a big city like London.



3. Online surveys

If you're stuck at home and you like surfing the net of an evening, you can make some cash while you're at it. There are a few websites where you can fill in online surveys for cash. Just write what you think and make a few quid.

All you have to do to make regular pocket money and have the possibility of winning cash prizes every now and then is sign up and answer a lot of questions. There are a lot of sharks in the business so you have to be careful what you sign up for. Some even have the cheek to try to get you to pay to join - ignore them.

Don't be deterred by the volume of questions. Some sites want serious info about you, but after you register the surveys are quick and simple. Never give out your credit card details - you shouldn't have to.

Our site of the month is Panelbase. Its the second best site in the UK and has just reached the top 10 globally! They have a new monthly prize draw of £50 cash for all respondents who are rejected from a survey because they don't fit the criteria (such as age, location etc.) turning a survey drawback into a positive. They have also launched survey opportunities through mobiles (SMS and WAP) where members are paid a 50p reward to answer a handful of questions via their mobiles, not costing them a penny.

4. Get paid for shopping

There are loads of ways to make money on what you are already spending. The only thing you need to remember is this will only make you money if you stick to what you would have spent anyway. If you start doing extra spending to get more cashback you will lose money.

Get started by doing your online shopping via a cashback website. There are several sites that will pay you cashback for making purchases. They are ideal for Christmas shopping, clothing and the like.

Cashbackshopper is one of the better ones because it makes no ‘admin’ charges and passes on all the money that it gets from the retailers. They will also give you £5 just for signing up and you can get an extra £5 if you refer a friend.

For shopping in the real world, get yourself a cashback credit card. If you manage to pay off your credit card bill in full every month (or don’t pay with plastic), there are several cards that give you cash back or other rewards when you spend money. Try theAmerican Express Platinum MoneyBack Credit Card – for the first three months you get 5% cash back on all your spending up to £4,000. Kerching! This isn't worth doing if you have outstanding credit card debts - pay those off first.

5. Market Research

Companies need to know what you think of them and they are willing to pay top dollar for you to spill the beans. By taking part in surveys and focus groups you can make between £30- 50 for a session and you should get free food.

To get started you need to register with a market research company like Saros Research. Register by entering your details on their website and they will email you when they need you for the specific groups you are suitable for.

The actual focus groups usually take place at an office local to you. You go down, sit around a table and give your opinions on a product or an advert or similar. At the end of the group you pick up your cheque and that's it.

It's best to join as many groups as you can, as you'll only be asked to do a few group meetings per year. You can also make extra money by recruiting other people for the focus groups. Check out the Saros Research site for details.

6. Recycle your old mobile

Instead of chucking your old mobile phones in the bin, get paid to send them off to send them off to a re-selling company that will recycle them.

Go to the Moneymagpie mobile recycling service in partnership with Mopay to find out how much your phone is worth. Enter the model number and details of whether the phone is working or not. You also might need to give details of any damage to the phone. We'll then tell you how much we'll pay for it.

If you're happy with the price, accept it and Mopay will send you a freepost envelope. Pop your phone in it and send it off. Then all you have to do is wait for your cheque.

What you get for your phone depends on how new it is and what condition it is in. Pay-outs range from £1.80 to £160. Basically the newer the phone, the closer to it's market value you'll get.

You could save around £300 by switching your energy tariff. Use the Moneymagpie Energy Comparison Service to see if you could get a better deal here.



7. Get paid to search

Wish you had a penny for every time you did an internet search? - well you can.

MyHomePagesFriends will pay you for everytime you use their search engine online. It's only a fraction of a penny per search, but if you're online all day at work or browsing in the evening it can add up fast.

Plus if you refer a friend, you will earn a percentage of their revenue as a thank you.

8. Sell your photos online

If you have taken (or can take) some good photos then you could make a very handy bit of pocket money. The photos need to have a clear subject (e.g. a hot cup of tea or two dice) and be of good quality.

Some websites, like Fotolia, rank their contributors in terms of how many of their files have been sold - have a look at their pictures for ideas. Others will have a look at the photos you have and will pick the ones they like.

You get a royalty fee each time a picture sells. To find out what sells well, have a look at the sites and get an idea of the type of photos that are there.

This is not as easy as it sounds so make sure that you have a good look around the different sites and understand what sells and what doesn’t.

If this is within your scope then go to Fotolia or one of the other sites below, sign up (for free) and upload your images.

9. Switch bank accounts and get £100 cash

Switch to an Alliance and Leicester Premier Current Account and they'll give you £100 as a thank you.

But it's not just another rubbish current account - it gives you an interest free overdraft (on balances up to £2,500) for the first 12 months. After that authorised overdrafts of up to £2,500 are charged at 50p a day - up to a maximum of £5 a month.

Plus you get free Euripean Travel Insurance for the under 65s and if you refer a friend they'll throw in another £25.

To get your £100, you must move at least £500 into the account within the first 11 weeks and the bonus will be paid within four months - you must be over 21 to apply.

10. Get Paid to use Social Networking Sites

We keep hearing about how social networking sites make around millions every month. Well it's time they started sharing that with us! Yuwie is the first social networking site that we have heard of that aims to share profits with users.

The way it works it that you set up a profile, do a blog, upload photos and videos and basically do what you do with all the other networking sites, but make money at the same time.

Yuwie pays you by advertising revenue. Each month the percentage is changed according to the revenue generated the previous month, and you are then paid that amount per 1000 page views - that's pages that you and your friends view. So say it's 15¢ per 1000 page views, that may not sound like much, but when you're logged in, it counts as one page view when you view:

your profile page
your blog pages
your friend's pages
your comments pages
if someone else views one of your shared pages
any of your control panel pages
What doesn't count includes: refreshing a page, any page that's viewed within 3 seconds of the last page, and any view from a 'guest' or non logged in visitor.

You also get revenue from signing up your friends, and also when they sign up their friends, and so on under a ten-tier structure. You can get paid by PayPal or by cheque.
