If you know you write pretty good, you can sell your story. If you’ve lived through some unusual experiences, you may be able to make money from your story. Magazines and websites will pay for everything from extreme weight loss through to family drama and first-person accounts of dramatic incidents. Options like Real People Mag focus on more extreme events and as much as £2,000 for featured stories. There are also groups like FeatureMe! on Facebook which feature journalists offering slightly less (typically £100-£500) for smaller features and less shocking stories.
If you’re a TV addict, you could be making money by sharing your opinions on the latest shows. The Viewers puts together research panels for broadcasters and programme makers so they can get feedback on TV programmes.
So not only could you be making money from watching TV, you could get a sneak peak of the latest shows before they air.
You can earn up to £50 for taking part in a 90-minute research panel via Zoom, £10 for a programme review of an hour-long show, or between £1 and £3 for a survey.
Payment options include bank transfer, PayPal, Amazon or flexible gift vouchers redeemable at most retailers.
