Earn a fiver with Fiverr
Fiverr is an online platform which allows people to connect with businesses all over the UK and perform tasks for anything from £5 to £500+.
But that doesn’t mean you have to be a computer whizz to be able to earn money through the website, as a huge number of people offer alternative services, like the gentleman who will read out birthday messages and well wishes in a video, dressed a Jesus. We’re not kidding! Check out the page by clicking here.
There are loads of people who perform similar acts and get paid by strangers, so this might be your chance to do the same if you fancy yourself as a good celebrity or religious figure impersonator.
Alternatively, if you speak another language, you can find people looking for help on Fiverr by clicking here.
Make Serious Cash with MoneyMagpie.com
MoneyMagpie.com has its own rewards scheme which is open to anyone.
With a few click’s you could bag yourself a £5 amazon voucher and there is no limit to how many times you can do this!

There isn’t an easier way to make money online so it is the perfect time to start as the build-up to Christmas has begun.
Learn anything with professional courses, for free
The Khan Academy has been running for a number of years and is used by millions of people around the world to learn and advance their skills, so that they can earn money pursuing alternative careers or earn money performing other tasks outside of their day job.
From world history to computer programming, you can learn serious money making skills with the Khan Academy, along with business management and economics, if you start to make serious cash!
Become a part-time dog sitter
In a previous article on the best apps to help you make quick cash, we highlighted Rover.com as a platform to find and connect with dog owners looking to find dog sitters.
If you want to look after a dog for a number of days, that is ideal, but if you are looking for something a little less intensive, Tailster will help you find dog owners who are willing to pay you to walk their dogs.
There is an option to take dogs for longer if you want, but for those of you with commitment issues, this may be the best bet.

Put your money into premium bonds
In one of our previous articles, we highlighted how to get your hands on FREE cash by checking whether the banks are holding onto money that is unclaimed.
In the article, we spoke about the importance of checking for unclaimed premium bonds, so make sure to read the piece if you think this might apply to you.
Premium bonds allow you to enter into a monthly prize draw using every pound of your savings as an entry for free.
For example, if you put £5,000 into a Premium Bonds savings account with NS&I, you will be entered into a prize draw 5,000 times, with cash prizes going from £25 all the way to £1,000,000!
The government-run scheme has billions of pounds saved, as a huge number of people invest money into Premium Bonds, with regular free cash being distributed every month.
You can apply online with ease, so this represents one of the best ways to make money online right now, unless you really do want to dress up as Jesus and sing happy birthday in a video…
Winning a competition would be a great feeling!
