Have a clear-out and get making money
Physical clutter can really build up mental clutter so clearing out your home will have a positive effect on your mind and your wallet.
Here are the company links I mentioned on the show
It is a time investment to load everything or scan it and parcel it up to send but it is two jobs in one. Decluttered home more money in the bank win-win.
Points cards
I use the Tesco Clubcard and credit card and although not as good as it used to be it is still an easy win. With points on your food shop and points on your Tesco petrol/diesel, these points add up
Cashback Sites
Using cashback sites is a habit you need to form, it is so easy to forget to check but this can be so much quicker than the Tesco points and can pay dividends on large purchases. In our house we favour Quidco but Top Cash Back is also an option.
Here is a recent example of how you can use these two methods to get the biggest bang for your buck:
A recent purchase of the iPhone 11 priced £652
By using the Tesco credit card we received 81 pts if we use them doubled or tripled that will be £1.62 or £2.43 it’s not a lot but as we’d have bought it on a credit card to protect the purchase it’s a bonus and of course, we will use it along with our other points.
By going through a cashback site we are due £51.92 back on the purchase.
So in effect, the phone cost £597.65 and it took 2 mins to do.
Join a multi-level marketing co.
I joined Scentsy in Oct 2019, I was what they call a kitnapper, the kit was a great price and worth so much more than I paid for it so I thought why not. It was never my intention to make money or do anything with the business. However, Covid hit, I was made redundant the business I had dreamed of setting up for 5 years (The Society of Professional Wedding Vendors) was almost halted entirely by the pandemic and I needed a way to make some money to top up my redundancy and make it go further while building the Society. That is when I looked at my Scentsy business more seriously.
There are MANY multi-level marketing companies out there not all are created equal and not all consultants/Representatives are created equal either. You may have been put off from such companies by pushy reps in the past but they aren’t the company and not every rep is like that though unfortunately, I do believe they exist in all companies.
Therefore I’m going to link some reps of different multi-level marketing companies who I know personally and trust not to ambush you or SELL you. So if this way of making money interests you reach out ask about it, let them know you heard about them here, they will look after you.
