Earning Additional Income in UK

If you have recently moved to the UK or planning to move soon, the foremost thought would be, 'How do I ensure additional income' apart from the regular income from employment or business or services.

One of the prime reasons why people move to the UK is the fact it has enormous opportunities who want to work and earn and do something with their lives. This can be established from UK employment rate, which stands at a very healthy 90-95%. Better than the US. Recession did have an impact and the employment rate go down by 2-5%.

Surveys: Participate in research surveys or online surveys. Physical surveys can offer as much as £50 for 2-3 hours where you may be needed to answer questions or review a product. Check out www.gumtree.com, which happens to be one of the most reliable and free advertisement medium for UK.

Odd-jobs: There are quite a lot of small part-time jobs available which offers handsome pay, vis-a-vis event promoters, Charity collectors etc.

Cashback Websites: Most of the websites offer cashback for shopping online each time you shop, which otherwise you won't if you had visited a high street shop.

Tesco Vouchers: When you spend in Tesco you earn double points.  A £ spent earns you 2 points, in addition to that you can save on by re-using the Tesco, 'green' carrier bags ( which earns you a point). The points are redeemed and Tesco sends you money off vouchers in lieu, every 3 months, once you cross 1000 points. These vouches can then be used in Tesco to buy your usual groceries.

A move ticket can cost anywhere between £5 to £10, you can get redeem your Tesco vouchers for movie tickets, valid on all days and for all shows across cinemas in the UK. This you can get for as little as for a £3 voucher. ( That's a cool saving of £7 , if you plan to see a movie after 5PM or on a weekend in Cineworld cinemas)
