I have just moved into a house with two fantastic roomies, and their 7 cats! These guys are masters in up cycling and taught me how to make a little something out of nothing.

We started off with just a bulk standard pallet and a little wood sealer.

After only a short while, and a little elbow grease, we ended up with a beautiful coat rack, and also a wine rock and bottle holder!

Check these guys out on Facebook for more of their designs. Old whites

Now we have all come across get rich quick blogs and people asking you to buy into their secret of making hundreds of thousand of cold hard cash.

Tempting as they are, they often ask for a lot of work for little return and quite often an investment. This is not one of those. This is a blog offering a few real ways to make some money with no risk to your pocket.

Let me explain. I have used a few websites which offer a variety of ways to make money in ways such as; clicking ads, reading emails, and generally spending hours doing menial tasks for a very small pay-off. These sites often set a minimum threshold before you can cash out!

Now I'm sure that as your reading a blog about making money, you have also come across these too and are as equally dubious/annoyed with them as I am. So therefore I would like to offer some advice and get you earning real money from real sites that actually payout relatively quickly.

I'm not going to lie to you and say you can earn a living from this, but you can pocket a reasonable amount in a fairly short while.

My favourite way of doing this is earning money by shopping. This site gives you either a set amount of cash back, or a percentage based off of what you spend. If you do a lot of internet shopping then this sites for you. It offers an extremely large amount of retailers, from Ebay to Vodafone, and, in my opinion, an attractive rate of cash-back.

Now don't be put of by the fact you buy stuff through this site, they also offer free cash-back too! You can search the web, get quotes for insurance, and much much more. Admittedly the speed of which you receive your money is quite slow, but when you realise why its actually quite understandable. The company receives their money from the retailer, and once this happens it gets paid to you. Not all retailers work too fast. But to balance this out, the website offer a free to use service, with coupons and discounts included, and even a great customer service team should you find one of your offers wasn't credited with your cash-back.

I have used this site for about 6 months, and I use it on a daily basis now, mainly for the daily freebies, but also my grocery shopping and i cannot fault them. They have paid me, and resolved any disputes quickly and with hassle. And to add to this, they offer an extra 5% if you cash-out in Amazon vouchers!

So if this sounds like your kind of thing, then give them a go.

Now this website offers something quite amazing really.

Heard of the National Lottery? Well here you can earn free tickets just by searching the web!

For every 25 genuine searches you make a week you get one lottery ticket, and entered into a syndicate. Now don't be scared, it's actually a fantastic idea. You get one lottery ticket, but you share it with 9 other people, who in return, share theirs. So thats 10 entries!

You are limitted to 2 tickets a week, but if you think of it as 20 tickets but with a 10% of each ticket return (if it wins!) then thats not bad at all.

I use it regularly, and always receive my numbers but I have yet to win. Hey, at least i'm honest!

So, interested? Sign up here.
