Top ways to make money online and offline

These are the best ways to start making extra money today.

1. No-risk matched betting

   

   Hands down the quickest way to make a lot of money from home. Lots of students have genuinely made £100s from this technique. It's completely legal, risk-free, tax-free, and anyone over 18 in the UK can do it. (Not in the UK? Skip to no. 2).

   Matched betting works by taking advantage of free bets offered by betting sites and 'matching' them at a betting exchange. This removes the risk as you are betting both for and against an outcome.

   You can then squeeze out the free bet, which can be as much as £100. Multiply this by all the betting sites there are, and you can quite easily be in profit by a few hundred pounds.

   We walk you through how to make your first £13 profit (using a real example) in this gem of a guide to matched betting. If you know of any better way to make £40 an hour sitting at home, please let us know!

2. Online paid surveys

   

   A popular way for people to make money online is to fill out online surveys in their spare time. Research companies are always recruiting new members worldwide to answer surveys and test new products.

   For a few minutes of form filling, you can quickly make a couple of quid which is paid as cash or rewards. You can bag up to £3 ($5) for some surveys!
