Lollipop Lady/Man - The Job - The Pay

Most people live near a school and there is a opportunity to earn money working as a School Crossing Patrol Officer, better know as a lollipop man or woman because of the modified circular stop sign he or she carries, which resembles a large lollipop.

The job doesn't take up much of your time and for those who like working with children it would seem to be a good way of earning that extra cash. It is not always old people who do this job, many younger people are employed nowadays, usually parents of children who attend the school. And why not, they are there dropping off and picking up their children, why not hang around and earn a bit while they're there?

Did you know that under United Kingdom law it is an offence for a motorist not to stop if signalled to do so by a patroller? Also, the lollipop sign has the word "STOP", under which is a strip of black which is used to record in white chalk the registration numbers of motorists that do not stop. Under this there is the word "CHILDREN".

Just to be clear on what you duties will involve, they are quite simple but you are contracted to observe the following:
  • · Ensure the safety of children crossing a designated road between specified times.
  • · Carry out council policy to School Crossing Patrol which includes Health and Safety Procedures
  • · Use all uniform provided for the safety of you, the children and other members of the public.
  • · Maintain control over children who are awaiting you instructions to cross.
  • · Report any problems to your designated Manager

The pay starts at £1,722 per annum for working just 70 minutes a day, usually around 8:00 to 8:35 and 14:30 to 15:05. This works out at around £5.70 per hour, you will have to check your tax and national insurance liability on this.

Depending on the location and school times, your working hours can be extended to just under two hours with the hourly rate kicking in for extra money. The good side is that only work 9 months of the year, but you are paid over the 12 months!

Local authorities employ patrollers and this is who you should call for vacancies that might be around. You can find your own local authority and ask for details of vacancies under this site www.direct.gov.uk

It's a job that you can easily fit in around you day, especially if you have to do the school run every day. Another opening for a little extra cash that you may not have thought of.

Knitting and Crochet Business

Have you ever thought of a knitting and crochet as a home based business?

Here in Bulgaria, most of the women can knit, many actually do it as an extra income, selling knitted garments in the market or bazaar, even walking around the street selling their wares to passing people, this is normal here. So why don't others consider this in many other westernised countries? All you need is a little know-how!

Earn an income while staying home with the children, add to your retirement income, you may be disabled or can’t work full time for some reason. Whatever the reason, you can have a craft business and earn a small income from it. You don't even need to be a woman to do this.

I can't say how much you can earn, everyone wants that answer. The answer to that is in your own hands literally! It is purely commensurate to how much effort and time you put into it, what products you choose to make and sell and where and how you decide to sell them.

It's not only knitting that can bring you in extra income but crochet work is also an area to be tapped into.

Even if you can't knit (that is not a barrier as you are about to find out) there are many loads of resources about where you can learn to knit and crochet. http://www.learn2knit.co.uk/. For the beginner, it is not difficult to learn basic skills that will serve you well over the years, don’t forget, it is a craft for life.

Anybody that learns craft know-hows and has a few ideas of their won can create a knitting and crochet business. The start up cost is nominal compared to other businesses, the only real layout would be a knitting machine, and there was you thinking that everything had to be done by hand!
www.sewingmachinediscount.co.uk/

The technology is there to potentially work in an industrial scale if you wish, but most don’t want that; they just want a little extra income from spare-time work. Many do however choose not to get a knitting machine, if you are one of them you may already have the knitting needles, crochet hooks, and patterns you need to get started. If not, there are many places that can provide these, not least online shopping! www.angelyarns.com/

Marketing your work is easy, with so many market places about nowadays. Your own stall in a market, car boot sales, online auctions, your own website to sell, local ads in shops and local papers Most of these sales avenues are easy to access, but the biggest sale will be with family and friends who refer you to their friends and workmates, if the network know you knit or crochet you will get orders from many people.

Selling your goods is great but think of the saving you will make by making your own family garments, that’s any added bonus, so you make an income and save money. How can you go wrong?

Lastly, this is a ‘green business'. In Bulgaria it is common that old garments are unthreaded and new garments made out of that wool. The new ‘recycled garment is just as good as a new, but cost absolutely nothing but time!

Online Games Earners

How many millions of hours do people play games online? Countless, so why not make money whilst enjoying yourself, there are openings already there?

One of the current popular mediums are MMORPG which means 'Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games' Online computer users in their millions spend hours playing these games not just for fun. You could end up being addictive to earning this way. The series called World Of Warcraft could be described as having cult following right now. You have to buy the game from a retailer as usual and pay a monthly subscription fee of around $10.

The game was originally made up with the idea of being able to play against other users on the Internet. Millions have brought the game and are paying around $100 just to be able to make full use of the game. a sure sign of how fun and addictive the World Of Worcraft game is.

Popularity of these online games is down to a couple of reasons. The biggest reason is being able to use 'role playing'. MMORPG game systems get you control characters. You can earn money and upgrade your characters which all have set 'levels' which can go up in value. Time is the element here with a challenge set to improve these character levels. In the game World Of Warcraft there is a unique currency and a marketplace alongside where gamers can buy and sell.

Being so addictive and time consuming, people are willing to spend real money to improve their chances of succeeding in the game. This is where the 'real money' comes in and sets anew level to online gaming. If there is a market place here for real money trading from something you have worked at, this is a business opportunity!

World Of Warcraft isn't the only 'real-life' gaming program that has a money market. Second Life is another, based on the old game of The Sims. This probably is more geared to real money trading. Second Life give you the chance to control a character and you live in a virtual world. You can do anything you can think of that happens in real life in Second Life. The first millionaire was made out of this game some time ago. In the actual game there is virtual currency called Linden Dollars, but this can be excahnged for real money. So if you are good at playing games can potentially make a lot of money from this.

Playing online multiplayer games is a vocation for many people, if this appeals to you then you can get more information from World Of Warcraft or from Second Life with the links given.

Funds for New Businesses

Anyone who advertises or tells you that you can start a business with no money are lying! Any business that is started whether money from blogging to cleaning windows, you need some money to start off with and to carry you through.

It is so true, that many businesses fail because there wasn't any provision for funding until the business takes off. So money must be the biggest concern to anyone who wants to get a money making scheme of the ground.

There are many schemes you can apply for when you are on the verge of starting a business. Business money is out there to be claimed, yet every year there are piles of cash waiting to be invested in new businesses just sitting around doing nothing because many don't know about it.

You can apply for a direct business grant. This is purely and simply a cash award given out for most business ventures or developments. A direct grant is awarded on condition that enterprise involved usually putting up around half of the cost of the grant awarded. Useful.

Another option is a repayable grant, which is another cash payment grant but more of a loan where repayments are paid out of future profits. Although you hope your business doesn't fail, if it did the grant/loan is written off.

An Equity finance scheme is set up so it can help by giving cash injected into the business and the financer holds an equity share of your business. The idea is to pay but the investment when the business equity increases after time.

Finally, there is a scheme called a 'soft loan' where the conditions of repayment are more generous than they would be under normal finance circumstances. The interest rate may be less or no interest at all or the repayment term could also be for a longer period.

All these grant and loan schemes are about waiting to be claimed and are certainly cheaper than getting a bank loan or using credit cards.

Starting a successful business is all about planning ahead. The first stop should be a business and part of that is to plan find out how much you need and how you are going to fund you new business. You will need on if you apply for a grant or loan anyway! If you don't you will fail.

If you call you local Chamber of Commerce, most towns have one. They will give you more details on how to apply for the grants above. There may even be a recent new scheme to help new businesses as they often do, that's what they are there for!

FOREX - A Business for All

Earning extra money from dealing the International Exchange Marker sounds like a big business and over most people’s heads. Well that not the case in this instance. A scheme under the name of FOREX which short for Foreign Exchange has brought this business to everyday people like you and me. You don’t need to deal in millions to make money here.

Around the world there are dealers who will give you a price on major currencies. Investors buy certain currency thinking it increase in value against other currencies and when it does they sell it for a profit.

Another way is to try and make profit without the wait where a sell high and buy low betting that the currency is about to fall in value.

You need money to do this of course and what makes it accessible to everyday folk is a system called 'leverage' This is a facility where capital can be borrowed capital that funds are big enough to trade with or to reach the minimum to do a transaction. The trader will have to fund with a deposit of around 1 – 4% to secure the bigger funds to trade with This deposit fund is called the margin.

For every pound or dollar you fund you can get 100, 200 or 300 times this amount from brokers So with £1,000 you control £100,000 of currency.

This means you can make or lose big sums although in actual fact you only lose the margin you put in.


I have given an example of how this business works.

Deposit £1000 with leverage of x 100. This gives you control of £100,000.

You believe the value of the US Dollar will rise so you invest the full amount in US Dollars.

30 minutes later you assumption was right and the Dollar rises in value against the British Pound by 0.5%.

Quickly, you sell straight away and you have made £500! It could of course go the other way and drop of course if you get it wrong and the British Pound could drop in value by 0,5%% and you’d lose your £500. This happens all in the space of 15 minutes.

----------------------------


FOREX trading is a great way of making money on the Internet and is open to everyone. A small investment and an online facility and you are away. Big profits can be made quickly but losses can also be made too just as quick.

There is no substitute for experience in this business and to help you there are many sites that give demo in which you can participate in before going live.

Stamp Collecting for Profit

The number one hobby is stamp collecting, the number grow each day and with this the demand for stamps increases each day. It is a hobby that educates but at the same time can also be extremely profitable.

Stamps being of monetary value always hold there price is unused but it does stop there. The price of stamps is steadily rise due to the supply of stamps falling and demand increasing

A collection is usually started just for the pleasure and hobby, but this hobby, but the financial rewards come about as experience increases over time.

If you already have a good size collection and a bit of experience why not make extra money from it.

You will need or may already have a stamp album, hinges, magnifying glass and stamp tongs. If you don't they can be bought online or from a stationary store or local stamp dealer.

Stamps should always be handled with tongs as because the condition the stamp is in is important and commensurate to the price of resale value. There are various grades of stamps usually categorised as mint, very fine, fine, good and poor. Stamps in mint condition often sell at many times their catalogue value and this should be bourn in mind when handling.

There are a few book that give lists of every stamp in the world. It is in your interest to have one as a guide to the value you should buy and sell, this will effectively be your bible and guide to profit made. An online catalogue can be found with Stanley Gibbons or at http://en.wikibooks.org. Alternatively, if you want to initially check out your local library, they will have these stamp catalogues there and will give you an idea how valuable the book is to your business.

To start your collection is a very easy task. Simply ask everybody you know to save their stamps and give them to you. Go through all your old mail, the chances are that you will find many that way. Car boot sales, charity shops, and jumble sales will be another cheap source fro building up you collection.

When you have doubles find other stamp collectors and swap. There are hundreds of philatelic clubs all over the world and as a collector an potential dealer is advised you join one, not just for contacts but for good deals, advice and trading. Nothing can substitute the education you will gain and enhance your profit margin from you experience from them.

Try and read as much as you can about stamps by subscribing to a philatelic magazine, again this is money in the bank with the wealth of advice that you gain from them.

Stamps are a commodity; you will never lose as you can always go to a dealer who will give you the current wholesale value of your stamps. It remains for you to go one step beyond this by selling to other stamp collectors by advertising in magazines and newspapers that specialise in stamp collecting. A very good guide to selling stamps can be found at www.stampdomain.com.

In addition, by surveying several up to date issues of these magazines you can compare the advertisements to what you have to offer.

Quality instead of quantity is the big secret to improved profits and with a diverse collection the spread will see you through well rather than specialising in one area.

At the end of the day this business idea is one of the safest going, stamps never go down in price. Combined with the fact that stamp collecting is the most popular hobby in the world is a guarantee you will always have customers who wish to buy.

Bicycle Courier

Bicycle couriers are in great demand and there is no shortage of work in certain areas. So, if you like riding a bike and live in a town or city, this could be a good way of earning good money by doing something you like.

Cycle couriers or bicycle messengers are most often found in the central business districts of metropolitan areas. They are used and in great demand because bicycles can travel faster car and many motorcycles through heavy city traffic. This is cheaper as they just pay the courier with no vehicle costs. It is also the greenest type of transport in built up areas that need it.

An essential piece of equipment is a bicycle. Many different types of bicycles can be used including road bikes, hybrid bikes, mountain bikes and even BMX bicycles. the most popular is the fixed-gear bicycles as they are the lightest and most practical as not much can go wrong with it being less technical.

There is a three wheeled option if you work brings about big loads to transport but this is quite cumbersome in built up areas and the times of delivery are slower due to this.

A bag is needed to carry letters and packages as well as personal effects. Single strap bags are the best as it wraps diagonally across the chest, it is actually called a messenger bags. With these you don’t have to take it off as it can be swung back and forth giving ease of access There are two-strap backpacks available but these have to be partially removed to access the storage compartments, but this sacrifice may be taken for a more evenly distributed weight across both shoulders and are less movement while riding.

Most bags come with clips, pockets and webbing loops on the strap for holding a cell phones and other equipment. Because most a re designed for this kind of work they are usually large enough to hold a box of ten reams of paper.

Baskets and racks can be mounted on the front or the rear of a bike providing extra carrying space. With bigger loads a trailer can be used, this is an alternative to the three wheeled option mentioned earlier

Communication via a hand-held device is an essential part of the work kit as delays, problems and new assignments need to be made aware to you and your contractor. Even a GPS tracking device may well be a useful item to pinpoint delivery destinations.

You bike and equipment is your key to earning extra money so insure this by carrying and using a good lock. A simple chain and padlock systems worn around your waist while riding will do. There are U-locks that come with a purpose-built holder that holds the lock on the bike frame. Don't find out that you need a lock when your bike has disappeared.

Basic tools to deal with mechanical problems and good weatherproof clothing should also be taken along. There are excellent tools and clothing around which are very light and don't take up much room.

There are many courier companies that will take you on straight away if you have you own bike and equipment. Most keen cyclists have all this anyway and set up for earning right now.

Odd Jobs

Using our skills for money is an excellent way to make money. If you are good at something or better than someone else, this is to your financial gain.

There are a million jobs around that want а little work done in the house but some form of knowledge to do it. People don't want to call out the professionals and get charged the earth for something that might just cost a couple of pounds to fix or do. They just want someone they can rely on who know and can do the job.

Odd jobs can be from simply fixing a leaking tap or right through to landscaping a garden, if can mean anything. If you are a good DIY person this is right up your street.

People need to know you are there so advertising can take on many forms. The cheapest is to personally go house to house offering odd jobs that you are good it or jobs that they might need doing. You can post business cards that tell your potential customers what you can do. These can be bought very cheaply and advertise yourself as an odd job expert. Don't forget to follow it up with a personal visit a few days after you have posted you cards. That is where you will get most work.

Gardening is always needed, especially in the spring so this is a good time to get started, you will find that many have their own gardening equipment such as a lawn mower for you to use anyway so there will be no financial layout needed. This will of course lead on to regular work if you do a good job.

Simple plumbing, painting and decorating is also a job that many people want but don't want to pay big buck to cowboy companies and the odd job person would be an ideal option for them to take up. Electrical work would not be advised unless you are qualified.

Even going shopping for people who are too busy is something you might offer, baby-sitting, housekeeping or cleaning. Al these are in the odd job category and open money earners if but you need to get yourself known to get the business.

Another cheap way is to put an add in the local paper or in the local shop window, again this is cheap and will get you known as an odd job person in the area. You will be surprises how many take the number and keep it in case of emergencies, you may get a call from an ad you put in a year ago.

So, look at your skills and decide what odd jobs you can offer, advertise and the money will come in. If you are good and reliable you will get referrals and more business from it. The beauty is most will be little one person jobs but of course you may want to get someone to come in with you and share the profits if you get a job that is too big for you. There’s always someone who want to earn a bit of extra dosh.

Money from Renting

If you can't afford something, what do you do? Forget it,?Wait until you can afford it ?Rr is there another option? If you really want something you can't afford there is another option. That option is to rent it out.

Right now with the credit crush in full swing many people just can't or don't want to spend out on things, so the renting market is ripe for picking if you have something that other people want. You're not selling it, just making money on an asset you have that is in demand.

Look at what you've got much is there stuff don't use or that you don't use? I bet there is a wad of stuff that you have but don’t want to sell, so why not rent them out?

There are loads of things you could rent, and lots of ways of doing it:

Machinery, drills, lawnmowers, etc. can be loaned out for the day; there is always someone who will want to use them on the odd occasion without wanting to buy. What about wardrobe, how many suits and dresses have you there that could be hired out, there is a big demand for these things all year round with birthdays, weddings, etc.,

Do you live in a congested road and have am off road parking space, rent that out to neighbours who don't. All you need is a signpost advertising it outside you house.

Do you have loft space of garage space, why not rent out the space fro storage, many a time people want a temporary place to store stuff and pay good money for this. The beauty it is easy money.

What about if you have a spare bedroom, rent that out, rented accommodation is in high demand in many areas and if you are in a university town students would be looking for just a place. From my experience foreign students are the best bet. You could earn over £100 per week in most areas. Check with you local university and get known that you have a room to rent.


Part of your garden is a potential allotment, which are now hard to find in many town areas. You could rent this out to keen gardeners in the area and not only will you be getting rent but you could barter for the fresh fruit and vegetables they grow and the big bonus is, someone is tending to you garden in the deal.

What about your car, how often do you use it, do you have two cars and use just one? Rent your car out when you are not using it. You could make lots of money that way.

If you have computer games, bicycles, or even renting out the use of your washing machine and/or tumble drier. All these have earning potential as income from rent and no overheads to reduce your profits.

So, if you want to make the most of goods that are just gathering dust, give it a go, what have you to lose?

Finally, look at www.rentrino.co.uk. This is a new site sponsored by eBay that helps you rent anything out to anyone. Why just sit there on potential earnings, make the most of your assets, there is always someone out there who will want to pay you for their use.

Sell Lost Luggage

Making money out of someone's misfortune is big business. It is a fact of life that things go wrong or you lose things and when that happens there is always a business system that is in place to either sort the problem out for profit.

This business is one instance of doing just that. What happens if you lose you luggage at an airport? Sometimes you get it back sometimes you never see that luggage ever again. You can blame the airline staff or point a finger at the luggage handling staff it remains that this a fact that much of the luggage is lost forever.

We have tens of thousands bits of luggage being lost every year, but where do they go? Quite simply, luggage that is not claimed ends up at an auction and sells them to the general public. That pubic could just as easily be you.

The luggage can legally be auctioned off if not claimed after six months. Just think what stuff you put into your suitcases when you go abroad, not just for holidays but also for business or even immigrating. Lots of valuable items may well be contained with the luggage. These valuable items are usually separated from the luggage before being auctioned and sold as separate lots and can also be bid on. The valuable items sell a cheap prices at auctions and you have the option could either keep the goods for yourself or sell it on for more.

Like any auction, only bid on things you know about otherwise you could find yourself losing money rather if the item doesn't sell for more than you bought it for.

The exciting part is bidding for suitcases and hope there are some sellable good there such as, clothes, books, and other personal items you could sell on. It's a chance you take as auctioneers usually on give little details about what is in each suitcase so you won't know what you are buying.

If you bid wins the lot you can then open the Pandora's box and see what treasure it holds. Wash and iron the clothes it, take pictures it and stick them on eBay. Books have a selling place on Amazon. Don't forget to sell the suitcase, in many instances the price you pay for the whole package you will get back on the sale of the suitcase alone. The suitcases sell from around £5 to £50 on average.

Every country will have their own systems in place for auctioning lost luggage and may well also an auction house that is open to the public situated near to the airport. In the UK, Greasbys in Tooting, London are auctioneers who have been trading since 1919. Greasbys is the place where lost luggage is now auctioned from one of the biggest airports in the world. This comes of course with the reputation of being responsible for losing the most luggage in the world. The viewing is on Monday afternoon and the auction held the next day.

It's a very easy way to make extra money with hardly any expenses other than price of the luggage at auction. So if you are local to an airport find out where the lost luggage is auctioned and get bidding, there are treasure to be had and sold off and extra money in you pocket from other people misfortune. If you don't someone else will.
