5 Ways to Make Money Online in the UK – How to Make Money at Home

I’m not sure in which life situation you are now, and why were you looking for advice about ways to make money online in the UK, but I know for sure that there are several legit ways to earn £1,000 of extra cash per month while working from home.

Swagbucks – play games, watch videos and make cash!

This survey platform became very popular because of the variety of short online tasks – you can watch videos on YouTube, complete polls, test new products, do some online search, etc. Swagbucks works with advertisers for market research, which allows the site to pay part of their earnings to users to complete tasks. The earned money can be exchanged for PayPal credits, real money, gift cards for Amazon and other online stores. Register here!

Rent Your Spare Bedroom on Airbnb

If you have a spare room, tree house, boat, etc., you might be interested in making extra money on Airbnb renting it out. 

The UK has a huge tourism market, both from abroad, and local. So even if you live far from a big city, you can definitely make some extra money renting a bedroom in your house or apartment to people who want to escape crowds for a weekend in a silent country-side. In big cities, there is a big market for short-term rentals (2 weeks – up to a month) for people who came to your city for studies or a new job and need a temporary home until they manage to rent another place with a long-term contract. By the way, you never know, if a person who rents for a short-term likes your house and makes you a great offer for a longer period of stay – this might become a great sustainable income for your family.

And of course, Airbnb can be particularly profitable if you live in a popular destination for tourists, or if some high-demand events happen in your locale (concerts, sporting events, festivals, conferences, etc.).

Here’s the link to sign up as an Airbnb host.

If you know other online survey sites that you’d like to recommend to other side-hustlers like you, share in the comments below!

Become a website tester and make £22-44 per hour!

Website testers usually work with a microphone and web camera (or the default camera in your laptop). These devices are necessary to allow your employer record your reactions during the testing session.

I’m registered on TestingTime – it’s a platform for website testing tasks for European users. The office of this company is located in Zurich, Switzerland, they pay in Euros via PayPal or directly to your bank account – payments are released within 5-10 days, and they are looking for international testers. This platform has the longest tests – 30-50 min but also pays for them up to 50 Euros depending on the length. Testers are required to have a microphone, webcam, and a Skype account.

Test and keep or win products!

Some companies and brands are willing to give you free products for testing them. Sometimes products are given away in return for your feedback, in other sites you can get paid in cash for sharing your opinion. Product testing is a great way of making or saving money. You can subscribe to many sites that provide product testing and get such freebies as food, cosmetics, Amazon vouchers, magazines, clothing and even Apple or Samsung devices.

General recommendation about product testing: don’t get carried away and request every product available because you won’t be equally interested in all of them. And if you are not interested in a product, image the pain of having to make a review on it. Ah, you can’t forget actually making a review once you have the product because if you ignore them once, they will never send you anything again. Usually giving you feedback takes a few minutes though, so don’t get too shy and submit your requests for all the products you are interested in.

To get invites for the best products, don’t forget to regularly check product testing sites, otherwise, you will simply miss all your opportunities.

Check below some of the best sites for product testing in the UK.
