to earn me a little because it is less common than business blogs.

There are also some survey and points based sights believe it or not that can be trusted and can earn you a little over time. The ones to be avoided are the ones that claim to be able to make you hundreds of dollars per day for just filling in surveys as they simply wont pay out or are just spyware. The points based sites are usually along the lines of either filling out forms so that you will receive lots of largely useless emails advertising things or to join sites such as online betting. The emails they will send might be annoying but can be avoided largely by just setting up an alternate email address that can be filled with spam and offers you can ignore

These points you collect will usually be redeemable into CDs, DVD's or electronics etc, which can then either be sold or given as gifts, therefore either saving you or creating you extra money that way.

There are certain items which will sell better on a market stall and some better on eBay, so judging which is which is another thing you can do to maximize the money you make on these types of items.

The main way I do this is to look around yard and car boot sales for bargains which perhaps the former owner doesn't know are valuable, and sell them on for a profit on eBay to real collectors. I'm no antiques expert myself but its often as simple as having a keen eye for quality or unusual things that makes the money rather then looking for specific
