“I think probably the easiest and best way I’ve ever made money (and still do!) is through referral codes,” he shared. “I don’t know exactly how much I’ve made over time, but it’s definitely into the thousands of pounds. This is mostly thanks to the higher value ones, especially an old energy supplier I was with who used to offer £50 per person you successfully referred to the company, and occasionally boosted that to £100.”
“But I’ve used loads of others too, including banks,” Tom continued. “Basically, the message is: check all the products and services you use to see if they have a referral scheme. If they do – and, crucially, if you would honestly recommend them – then encourage all your friends and family to sign up via your link.”

“That said, we do have a list of ways to get free money that require little or no effort from you whatsoever,” he added. “Referral codes are one of them, but there are other things like signup offers and even making money from walking.”

“There are loads of easy ways to make money, and again, we’ve listed dozens of them on our website. Some of them will earn you a relatively modest amount, like paid survey sites. But others could earn you hundreds of pounds a year, if not per month, like renting out your parking space,” Tom shared.
“If you live near a major transport hub, sports ground, or anywhere else where parking is at a premium, people will pay good money to rent out your parking spot for a few hours or days,” he noted. “It requires next to no effort from you, and it’s an absolute no-brainer if your driveway is currently sat empty!”

Well it was probably their money anyway so they didn’t actually turn a profit
