Let me just add that if you are here trying to find get rich quick or quick money turn away now, there is no such thing and you will only end up losing your money or getting scammed.
This is not a long term solution but it is a nifty way to gain some cash. It is easy to think to your self "I might need this later" 9 times out of 10 you will never use it and if you do you will probably forget that you even have it and buy a new one. So now you have your little box of unwanted items how do we turn that in to cash?
The first option is Ebay, this on-line auction house has millions of people browsing for a good deal. the second option is a car boot sale, though you have to make sure you will make enough to cover the cost of entry but that only tends to be £20 or so.
Optimistic: You can make some extra cash
You will make extra space in your house
Realistic: You might not sell anything
Get paid to click adds and do surveys.
If you have the patients to sit there for hours and click ad after ad for very little reward then by all means go ahead and join a PPC (pay per click) program, personally I can't stand doing it, it is just so boring.
When it come to PPC there are a lot of scams out there, before you jump in do a little research in who you can trust. The same goes for getting paid to do surveys though they do tent to pay more.
Come to think about it in doing research for this article I could not find one trustworthy PPC website and very little PPS (pay per survey). My personal advice is would be avoid these they try and draw people in with get rich promises and end up just scamming you.

Get a weekend job
A weekend job (assuming you work full time) will leave you no time for your self and a very large amount of what you earn will be taken to the tax man. It takes a certain type of person to be able to work seven days a week non stop, personally I cannot do it I like my free time a lot.
The most likely place you will find weekend jobs are in shops and warehouses and if you want to work the nights you do earn a little extra more.
Optimistic: Secure way of earning extra cash.
Realistic: Will leave you with virtually no time to your self, it is very tiring and demoralising.
