If you're constantly on the countdown to payday and want 2017 to be different, listen up!
There are some easy ways you can rake in the cash without leaving the house.
Forget taking up a second job, instead kick back and let the money roll in with these easy money-making tricks.
Here are five simple ways to earn some extra cash in 2017:
1. Rent a room on Airbnb
If you're a homeowner you can list your house online and play host to holidaymakers, either while you’re away or if you have some spare space and fancy taking in a temporary lodger.
Advertising your home on websites like Airbnb can be a great money-maker too, with properties in London netting nearly £100 per night.
2. Start a blog
The competition is fierce, but if you can spot a gap in the market and start up a successful blog it's a great money-maker.
A recent survey found that 9% of bloggers make between £820-£8200 a month. That's nearly £100,000 a year!
3. Start vlogging
Video blogging (vlogging) is also a great way to earn money from your bedroom. Successful vloggers can make an absolute fortune through advertising.
According to The Times, Zoella earned £400,000 over an eight month period in 2014 (£50k a month). And beauty vlogger Tanya Burr rakes in £20,000 per month, according to Marie Claire.
So whatever you're in to – make-up, cooking, tractors – get talking about it, video it, and whack it on Youtube. What's the worst that could happen?
4. Fill in questionnaires/surveys
Love it or hate it, give your feedback on everything from tracks to clothing and get paid for it.
Sites like slicethepie.com will give you money for reviewing goods and rating new albums.
Better yet, the more your reputation grows the more cash you can rake in.
5. Get into gaming
Enjoy playing video games? Well, did you know you could earn a small fortune from gaming.
There are multiple ways to earn cash from the hobby.
Firstly there is game testing or “play testing”. This is where large video game companies employ video game testers, who test games in development and report any problems or glitches they discover.
Filming yourself playing video games and uploading them to Youtube is another potential way to make some cash.
6. Simply save
Writing in his book The Automatic Millionaire, American entrepreneur David Bach suggests one super simple hack that could help anybody boost their bank balance.
The 49-year-old explained that the key to getting rich is to simply put a little into savings when you get paid BEFORE you do anything else.
”Most people think that when they get their pay cheque, the first thing they should do is pay all their bills – and then, if there is anything left over, they can save a few dollars," he said.
