Even with a FULL-TIME Job.
“I haven’t had a pay rise in 14 years” Steve said.
That’s when I quit, instantly!
And you should too if you’ve not had a pay rise recently.
How To Get A Pay Rise… TODAY
The Essential Guide To Getting Paid What You Wantmedium.com
A Cadbury’s chocolate Freddo used to be 10p. Now it’s 25p.
The rising cost of living, greedy corporations and inflation has forced you to work 2.5x harder to enjoy the same luxury.(A Freddo in this example)
Think about that.
Conversely, you can enjoy 2.5x less luxury on the same wage.
I don’t ride the bus, but it used to be 35p. The last I heard it was £2.10. 500% more expensive.
If you were earning £50,000pa, you’d now have to earn £300,000 per calendar year to compete.
Do you earn 500% more now than you did 10 years ago? Could you see yourself truly earning 500% more than you do now in the next 10 years? Probably not.
I’ve been fortunate (with my Marketing business) and I only earn 316% more than I did last decade.
I’m not saying that inflation is 500%, but some goods or services have increased dramatically to that level. Making the cost of living more expensive than it’s ever been.
In this blog post I’ll teach you how to turn those hours in front of the TV into CASH.
Cold, hard cash. Or warm cash. It’s your call. I don’t know why people say cold as an adjective for cash.
SELL GIGS ON FIVERR.com
I don’t do it anymore, but a few years ago I used to be a level 1 Gig Seller on Fiverr.com.
For me, I sold SEO advice. Reviewing a client’s website to tell them why they weren’t ranking well in Google and what action steps to take to fix it.
With minimal work put into it, I racked up $140 worth of extra income in the first month alone… and it grew after that.
That’s about £111. Which is 444 chocolate Freddos or 52 bus trips.
Go check out Fiverr.com, as it’s got nothing to do with SEO. You could sell anything on there.
Great at guitar? Play a song with a company’s name in it.
Part of an African tribe? Hold a sign up with ‘Happy Birthday Sarah’ on it for $5.
Sexy with the lights on? Blow someone lonely a kiss for $5.
It could be ANYTHING.
I could complete 4 gigs per hour.
At that rate you’d be earning $20 per hour. That’s more than minimum wage in almost all countries.
Now all you have to do is decide which TV programme you’re not going to watch in order to earn extra income.
RENT YOUR SERVICES ON PEOPLE PER HOUR
I was an early adopter to this platform. It’s come a long way and now professionals are offering everything from graphic design, to voice-over work, to marketing advice.
I earned £8 with my very first job. Slightly more than 1 hour at minimum wage (at the time), but the gig took me 30 minutes in photoshop time. So it was a steal on my end.
£8 extra can get you 2.6 Flat White coffee’s from Costa. No questions asked. Or 54 miles down the road in your car.
Based on average commute to work figures, that’s 1.5 free trips of driving back and forth your job.
UK workers travel just under 17 miles in 41 minutes per day on average.
You can charge as little, or as much as you like for your services.
Now I charge a day rate for my freelance clients, but nothing stops you starting on at People Per Hour.
Get a friend or family member to buy an ‘hourlie’ from you. Get your first piece of feedback and you’re well on your way.
Let’s say you watch 2 hours of TV per night on average.
That’s 728 hours a year that you could dedicate to earning more. A new car, a holiday or towards raising a child.
In April 2019, the UK minimum wage raised to £8.21 (for people over 25), so even at that rate, you’d earn an extra £5,976 per year.
That’s a full years FREE grocery shopping if you spend an average of £115 per week.
#3. EBAY YOUR OLD/FORGOTTEN HOUSEHOLD ITEMS
Entrepreneur Gary Vee set a challenge in 2017 for people to try and earn $20,170 that year.
He recommended selling your old and unwanted household items on eBay.
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
This is certainly true. My brother has earned thousands of £’s/$’s selling our old DVD’s, his old bikes & childhood toys from our parent’s attic.
Progressing to buying stock now, he scouts local supermarkets for offers. e.g. 50% OFF Nerf Guns.
He’ll buy stock, then put it on eBay for full retail price, or a tiny bit less.
It constantly sells.
He puts any extra money into Premium Bonds and wins about £200 per year in their raffle.
That’s a better return than ANY interest a bank can offer.
You reap what you sow.
Work enough to give yourself the freedom to have a happy life.
A full day of work closely followed by freelance task until 2am shouldn’t scare you.
That silent sacrifice is what all success is built from.
While you sleep your competition works.
A few hours extra work today could be an all inclusive holiday to Mexico by next month.
Make it happen.
