Data transcription can be an efficient method of making money. If you are educated to a reasonable level in maths and English and have good listening skills, this could be the job for you. Many companies are outsourcing their data processing to reduce their own cost.

If you have a specific skill, such as the knowledge and ability to repair a broken mobile phone screen, you could record and sell video instructions for others to follow. You could even write an ebook to explain the process.

Paid surveys can also provide additional income, although it is beneficial to register with several companies if you really want it to pay. Companies really will pay for your opinion. Surveys can be on any subject and may involve completing a questionnaire, watching a video or advertisement or comparing pictures. You can expect to receive anything from 50p to £1 for an average length survey lasting 5-20 minutes.
