wait in your house for money

If you find yourself spending most of your time at home due to looking after the children, homeworking or just generally like sitting in your armchair, offer yourself as a parcel delivery host.

Just offer yourself up to neighbours and friends as the local drop off point for any mail/internet orders they make. Make some leaflets on your computer, advertise in the local press or knock on doors and wait for the money to roll in. It might make a little time to build up, but if you can build a good reputation (and resist the urge to look into their letters/parcels) it should take-off.

Although your customers will be thankful for not having to give up a days pay to stay at home, don't expect them to pay you an equivalent of their days wages; maybe £1 for a letter to £2 for a parcel. But if you were going to be sitting at home anyway, its all nice cash.
