Do you have a yearning to appear in films or on television? or maybe you want to join in the game shows or sit in the audience.

Here is your chance, you could be a film or television extra, or you could even be the star of the show.

Producers of TV shows, commercials, movies and photographic shoots often use “ordinary” people to appear in their productions as extras. They like to use “real” people, but also people who have some experience in amateur dramatics.

The great thing about this type of work is that it is usually occasional work and you can always plan for days off at work to coincide with the time span. The pay is good as well extras earn around £70-£100 per day and the photographic work pays £150-£300 a day.

 The appeal of this type of work is the thought of appearing with well-known performers in a professional studio environment, and being seen on screen.

Maybe you run your own website and you are looking for new content, if so you can contact them about taking one of their latest shows feeds?

If you are more technically advanced, you can receive feeds as XML or if you would prefer something easier to integrate, you can just include 1 line of HTML code to bring in their Javascript feed.

Sorry I missed a bit out of my last post on Little Acorns. What I didn’t say was to advertise house clearances. You can usually pay as little as £300 to £400 for a houseful of goods and furniture as the relations that inherit just want to get rid of it.

If your unemployed and desperate to start earning money then this could be your chance to get started in your own business.

They say from little acorns huge oak trees grow, so think about what I am telling you.

What is the easiest way to earn a pound or two?  Ebay of course. So start off by selling a single item from your home, it could be anything from clothing to ornaments, or or some little trinket that’s lying around doing nothing.

I had a tiny alabaster dog on my mantle piece so for a laugh I put it on ebay, it was no bigger than 2″ high, I thought oh well someone might pay 99p for it. I was astounded when it went up to over £5, it was money for next to nothing.

When you have made £2 or £3 go to a jumble sale or a car boot and spend wisely on a few odds and ends, you should be able to double your or treble your money.  When you have done this a good few times and if you are wise you have saved, it you should have a good few pounds in the kitty.

Now for the next part you will need some storage space, a garage or a large shed. You can improvise if that’s not an option at this point, clear out a room in your house by parking the stuff in other rooms for the time being.

The one problem here is you need a van of sorts, although there is a way round it. Until you have made enough money to buy one hire one for half a day at a time.  Keep everything of value to sell on your own website or Ebay, send the larger items to a local auction or advertise them in the free newspapers.

There is always someone looking for what you are selling so take advantage of it. You could soon be running a great business with a new van and one or two employees to do the heavy work.

Do you remember the old rag and bone men that came round the streets! they bought anything and everything, and many of them ended up millionaires.

This opportunity is ideal for moms that want to work from home.

If you are an out going person and have lots of friends, or you feel you work out a business plan to arrange parties, then this could be a rewarding home business for you. 

The company is called  Virgin Vie At Home and as the name suggests Richard Branson is the head of this company.  No its not mobile phones or anything to do with airways. 

You would be a consultant for a Health and Beauty Company and whether you want a flexible part-time job, work based in your home, or a full-time career, there couldn’t be a better time to join Virgin Vie At Home!.  With Virgin Vie At Home  You would have the independence to choose the hours you want to work so you can fit working in with your family and other commitments. 

As a Virgin Vie At Home Consultant you get the opportunity to run your own business and have the added flexibility to juggle your family commitments.  They offer you a range of benefits such as free make-up and the opportunity to receive rewards including designer jewellery, trips abroad and cars. 

To make starting your own business as easy as possible you will have a fabulous starter kit that contains products from their make-up and cosmetics ranges as well as the business tools you need to hold parties.  This kit is essential to your success and it’s packed with everything you need to give your new business a go!

Plus, you will receive FREE comprehensive training – so there’s no need to worry if you are new to skin care and cosmetics.

Here is an unusual way to make money. A young women named Avril Harper claims she makes lots of money by tearing up old magazines and newspapers.

She is an Ebay power seller with this business and sells worldwide. What you will purchase from Avril Harper is an e-book that explains in detail exactly what you have to do , she also tells you what magazines are the best for purpose. She says  if you can open a book and carefully sift through the pages you can operate this business. 

 All you need are the publications themselves and knowledge of what to do with them next.  But what you need more than this is a complete step-by-step guide to placing your listings on eBay at the right time, in the right place, at the right price. 

All this takes less than a minute to do and costs a few pennies a go.  Even so there are many ways I will reveal to reduce the ‘work’ involved and lots of ways to cut costs to virtually zero and still those eBay listings can generate upwards of $10, $20, $30 a time, perhaps much more.

The cost for this information is $27.00 but if you are unhappy she gives an money back guarantee that lasts for 8 weeks. She also has a blog with which she offers continuous back up support and advice it is set up to accompany this book.  Check it out here it sounds like a great business.

Mystery shopping is something I always fancied doing myself, I liked the idea of being a sleuth or a spy, but as I don’t drive it was not an option.

You are by all intent and purpose spying on the shop or business you enter.

You are employed to enter a shop and purchase a product, while doing so you will be keeping your eyes and ears open to what is going on around you.

Is the assistant polite and helpful, or is she or he busy talking to a friend or workmate and taking no notice of you?

Is the shop display arranged neatly so you can easily find what you are looking for, or has the assistant turned a blind eye or forgotten to tidy and rearrange the displays in between customers that have turned the displays into disarray.

This will also apply to restaurants you will be asked to visit. Are the premises clean, is the food acceptable, and is the waitress or assistant polite and helpful.

You will be a watchdog, watching what goes on around you.

You will need to have a good memory as once you reach home you will have the job of filling in the forms and writing down all what you have observed.

Any goods you purchase or meals etc are paid for by the company you are working for. The goods you purchase remain your own property plus the fuel required for your car when travelling to the destination is paid by them.

Each month you will be paid a salary based on the amount of visits you have made to shops, restaurants theatres etc, and all your outgoings are refunded.

It doesn’t matter what type of person you are as long as you are observant and have a good memory. You might be shy or out going but as no one knows you are a mystery shopper it makes no difference.
