There are an abundance of ways to make an additional income from home. Use this guide to find legitimate ways to boost your income from home.

Advice to get started:

Be realistic and mindful this will not replace a full time income. If you combine several of the methods, then it could practically offer you an extra couple of £100 per month.

You will need to register as self employed and declare the income if it totals more than £1000 per annum. Use the gov.uk guidance to understand whether or not you will be liable for ad-hoc income.

Avoid storing cash and rewards in these applications. You will have no protection if the business goes into administration. Payout as soon as you hit the payment threshold and add it to your own saving account. That way you will also benefit from the interest.

Spend gift vouchers straight away. Some sites will provide the option of payment via gift voucher. If you choose this option, then avoid storing the gift voucher in the event the retailer goes into administration.

Use a dedicated email address. Sign up using your dedicated email address for ad-hoc income only. This will allow you to keep track of the tasks and get alerts of new opportunities available.
