Are you dreaming of the summer? After the UK’s short-lived time in the sun, I think we’re all hoping the blue skies and hot temperatures return soon. Summer is the best time to throw a garden party or book a weekend holiday on the coast of England or Scotland. However, for these events and outings, some extra cash would be ideal.
Thankfully, there are some super simple ways to make money in time for all of your summer plans. You may need to do some decluttering to find household items to sell. But, getting cash for gold and jewellery, clothes or homemade items is a sure way to make some money for the summer.
Check out these top ways to get some additional money for those unforgettable summer excursions and parties!
- Clean Out Your Wardrobe
Cleaning out your wardrobe, your partner’s wardrobe and your children’s wardrobe can result in finding a lot of clothes which can be sold. There are many different places to sell old clothes online, such as eBay and Facebook. If you’re not sure which clothes to get rid of, Cosmopolitan has put together the ultimate guide of what can be removed from your wardrobe immediately.
- Sell Homemade Items on Etsy
Have you got a creative side to you? If you’re a fan of making homemade bracelets or notebooks, Etsy is an excellent platform for selling your items from home. Although it may take some time and money to make your items, the return you can make is worthwhile and you’ll be able to reach a global audience. Etsy is ideal for making some extra money to supplement your income over the summer months.
- Get Cash for Gold
Unwanted gold and jewellery can add up to quite a lot of money. Getting cash for gold has never been easier, as a reputable cash for gold website will transfer you the money within 24 hours of offering you a price for your gold or jewellery. If you’re concerned about posting your gold, look for companies that offer free insurance on your valuables when you send them off. To have an idea of how much your gold could be worth, you can check the hallmark and keep up to date with the current price of gold.
- Rent out Spare Space
A spare room or even a driveway can increase your income by renting it out. If you have a spare room, Airbnb makes it easy for you to rent it out when it’s available, earning you some extra money on the side. Driveways or parking spaces can also be in high demand if you live near a train station, airport or city centre. Renting out a driveway is a great way to earn some extra money and requires barely any of your time.
- Get Online and Give Your Time
Spending time on social media and checking emails are how most people spend their time online. However, spending 20 minutes away from Facebook and on a different website could earn you some cash. Taking online surveys, selling your photos, or testing websites for businesses are all ways to earn a small income online. It won’t be big money, but if you take some time to do these things occasionally, the cash can go a long way.
- Attend a Car Boot Sale
If you declutter your home and find yourself with old books, toys and games, attending a local car boot sale could be the best option for selling them in one go. For very valuable items, such as gold and jewellery, be sure to sell gold online to get the best deal. However, for bits and bobs, a car boot sale could be just what you need to earn extra money for the summer months.
