\u00a0Making money in no way needs to be boring. It can, however, sound boring. Sometimes we read a side-hustle that is so grey it actually does a full 360 and becomes funny. Whether it\u2019s selling toilet roll holders, sleeping, queueing or any scintillating hustle that belongs next to a book of boring postcards, we are here to show you that you can literally make money doing anything.<\/p>\n
We Brits love a queue, so much so that when we travel around we sometimes get utterly baffled by different queueing etiquettes – one of the most asked questions when we travel is \u201chow to queue in…\u201d (yes really!)<\/p>\n
So here is a job suggestion about as painfully British as \u201ctea tester\u201d or \u201cweather complainer\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
How does it work, you ask?<\/p>\n
Well, we\u2019ve all seen the long queues as people wait in line to be the first to get their hands on the latest Apple product, sometimes even enduring a whole night of rain. Chances are at least one of those people would have paid you to take their place.<\/p>\n
Equally there are many people who would love to get the latest iPhone or concert tickets but can\u2019t because they have work or family commitments. They may well be willing to pay for your line sitting services.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Despite success in the US, it\u2019s still a relatively unheard-of practice in the UK so you\u2019d be leading the way with this money-making opportunity.<\/p>\n
You\u2019d be able to set your own price, either at a fixed rate or an agreed amount per hour\/half hour. For example, you could charge a fixed rate of \u00a3100, or agree on \u00a36 an hour.<\/p>\n

Could you imagine getting paid to sleep?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
How brilliant would that be?<\/p>\n
Well, some lucky so and so\u2019s get to do just that, and they\u2019re called bed testers.<\/p>\n
Bed testers get to test out a whole range of beds, often luxury ones, and then give a verdict based on the night\u2019s sleep they had.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re basically including this one for a bit of fun because it\u2019s really hard to become a full-time bed tester \u2013 as you can imagine, it\u2019s very competitive!<\/p>\n
Most people were first introduced to the idea of being a bed tester after Hotel Chatter put out a call in 2006 for a professional to test their 25,000 beds. In fact, there is one opportunity to do this right here.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Everyone wants to help the environment, and everyone has empty ink cartridges lying around their home or workplace. But, instead of chucking your empty ink cartridges away, why not recycle them instead?<\/p>\n
Printer Cartridge Recycling pays people for each one they receive. You\u2019ll get cash depending on the ink cartridge you\u2019ve sent. A minimum threshold of \u00a35 must be reached in order to send the cartridges to them.<\/p>\n
Alternatively, you can send them to the Recycling Factory. All you have to do is box up your cartridges and send them Free Post to the company. They\u2019ll sort out the rest and pay you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
This is very easy and can bring in some nice cash – especially if you live in built up areas or near offices.<\/p>\n
There are two main ways to do it. Either put ads in local papers or in the local newsagent or even on your front gate. If you live near a station, see if they will let you put a notice up there. Then see how much the station car park charges per day and try to undercut them \u2013 crafty!<\/p>\n
Or even better (and easier) register with sites such as Park Let or JustPark and let thousands of people know about your available space. Various websites offer you the chance to advertise your space for free but these are two of the most established sites and both offer a comprehensive service.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
If you have to spend your spare time ironing, then you may as well get some money for it.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s an extremely high demand for efficient ironing services. People would rather pay extra to outsource their laundry than iron it themselves and that\u2019s where you come in.<\/p>\n
If you can get your hands on some coat hangers and know the difference between your silks and your starch, this may well be the money-maker you\u2019ve been looking for.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Once you have got all your essentials you can sign up to an ironing agency, or even start your own.<\/p>\n
Your ironing gig can be as small as only doing a few shirts for someone you know or it could be a proper full-time job. You can iron when kids are in bed or while watching TV. Happy ironing!<\/p>\n
