Exploit your parking space
An unused parking space or garage can make money. If
you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to £200 or £300 a week. Put an advertisement (广告) for free on
Letpark or Atmyhousepark.
Rent (出租) a room
Spare room? Not only will a lodger (房客) earn you an income, but also, thanks to the governmentbacked
"rent a room" program, you won't have to pay any tax on the first £4,500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or
Roommate easy.
Make money during special events
Don't want a fulltime lodger? Then rent on a
shortterm basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the
Olympics or other big events could bring in money, Grashpadder can advertise
your space.
Live on set
Renting your home out as a "film set"
could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production
company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will
bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for
free—but you will be charged if your home gets picked.
Use your roof
You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost
of fixing solar equipment(around £14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return,
they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you
have to sign a 25year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you
from changing the roof.
