It might seem hard to believe, especially as I’m known for my love of shoes, clothes and shopping (I even find the food shopping exciting!) but I have a really hard time justifying spending money on myself, more so since moving and I feel I need to keep a track of every penny. I’m all for a bit of guilt free spending though and I tend to use money I’ve earned outside of my full time job for treats like a new dress or those shoes I just can’t resist and I spend quite a lot of time searching online for the best ways to earn some extra pennies. Being kind like I am I thought that today I’d share some of those tips with you.

One of the most obvious sources of extra income is good old eBay, I will admit I do find it a bit of a faff taking photographs and arranging the listings but what better way to justify an online clothes shopping spree than selling the things you no longer wear (or like me, buy and then forget about!). I’ve had a look at some of the other online selling platforms too, but I’m easily confused and a bit stuck in my ways so it’s usually back to eBay I go.
My next tip might seem a bit of a riskier one but used cautiously and with some clever researching for the best sign up deals online casinos, online bingo games or the more risk free option of matched betting can see some pretty much free cash come your way. I’m always careful to only invest the minimum for these and once the bonus terms have expired I move on to the next one.
Survey sites are another great way to earn some extra. It’s tedious and can be time consuming but there are a couple of sites I use regularly and reap the rewards in the form of high street vouchers. It’s not ever going to make you millions but the vouchers are handy, especially amazon ones for stocking up on gifts (or loading up your kindle!)
Other options I’ve explored are using cash back sites for online purchases- there can be some great deals out there for signing up to certain things although it does take a while to track and you need to be on the ball when it comes to cancelling. Bloggers can of course make some extra through affiliate links and selling ads although I’ve never had much like with these and whilst I try not to make a habit of it sponsored content has been a bit of a life saver from time to time!
I’d love to know your top hints and tips for funding your love of fashion- I’m pretty sure I’m only just skimming the surface here.
