How I Make Extra Money From Home.

Like everyone else, I am currently on lockdown and cannot go out with my camera. I was thinking about what I could write about and I thought it might be useful to share a few ways that I make a little extra income from home. I do have a 9–5 job and my extra income in no way would allow me to give up my ‘normal’ job (not at the moment anyway), but here are a few things I do to raise a little extra money from home.

eBay

I think most people use eBay these days. I have been selling on eBay for a long time, years in fact. I first started when I was made redundant back in 2008, I had a wardrobe full of clothes, shoes and bags that were just possessions that I did not need and with the thought of not having a job and no income, they had to go. Once I got myself back on my feet and into a new job, I kept selling on eBay as I like to buy clothes and by selling the ones that I no longer wore, It enabled me to keep refreshing my wardrobe. As I have got older, I buy nowhere near as many clothes as I did when I was in my 20s, but now I sell all-sorts from around my house that I do not use. For example, I had some printer cartridges from a printer that I no longer own so I listed them on eBay and sold them for £20 each. I do try and donate some items to the charity shop as well, I know online selling gets some stick…
