I'm sure there must be something honest, reliable and dependable to do at home part time to boost my income but there are so many scams out there it's almost impossible to know which one to try. I can do ironing, gardening etc etc but with over 30 years admin experience using the computer would be good. Willing to try anything that is honest any help greatly appreciated don't care what it is even stuffing envelopes will do cheers.

Hi there strgay. I have joined a network marketing company that is in operation for 24 years here in New Zealand. They have a fantastic wellness product and they have started with it way back then. I am using the product myself and my whole being is uplifted and I feel fantastic for the last 3 weeks. People around me can see what its doing for me. I have seen and heard only good so far from other people. I have met the founder and spent a weakend with him on a training camp in Tongariro and what a great guy. The company is listed on the NZ stock exchange so it isn't a company that is out there to make a buck and then run.They are the only direct sales company listed on the Stock exchange as well. Longevity. They have received a New Zealand trade export award in 2003. They published a 25 percent annual profit last Monday. Not many a company can say that!!.
They also have a fantastic compensation plan, training program, support system, products and All you need is the right attitude to be succesfull. They are expanding into more countries every year so if you have friends and family in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Phillipines, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia and South Africa you can sell the products to them too and grow your network internationally. This is 100% New Zealand Product, 100% Natural. Everyone, Yes Everyone can and should use it to protect their health. You can even give it to your pets.
I have seen what great the product is doing for elderly people and it also give them the opportunity to earn extra honest income.

strgay ,
I'm in the same suitation as you, I also would like something from home, ie: data entry, copy typing, not into selling as such, wouldn't mind doing the survey thing, Goodlife is it selling? that you do? Just curious to know more. Thanks.
Good luck strgay hope you find something soon.

A useful sideline is SCRAP METAL--Not so daunting as it seems. Keep it underlock and key as you collect it. Alloy, copper, brass. An old car engine has about 60 kgs of alloy- -good exercise to dismantle it- -opp. shops with heaps of old alloy and aluminium pots, pans, trays for next to nothing all add up. Put scrap metal prices in google to get latest prices per kg.
1 tonne of alloy worth quite a bit as pocket money. Not so hard to accumulate. Use a sledge hammer to smash motors up or good socket set, depending on how much excerise you want.
Why someone even pinched the rusty old barb wire out of our horse paddock so that must be worth scrap value also. Find reputable buyer so you don,t get diddled when selling it.

Continuing in the Scrap Metal theme--Brass is fetching a reasonable price per kg--OLD household taps are brass and heavy--usually chrome plated but scratch with a hack saw and you can see brass. Easier to handle than some forms of scrap metal and all over the place in junk shops and whatever. Start a collection now and by christmas a few hundred of those to sell off for a nice yuletide bonus.

We've been having a clean up and taking stuff to the dump. It is now a recycling depot, and what they take is unbelievable to be recycled. They took the old mower, old stove rusted on the bottom, bits of really rust eroded bits of metal, in fact anything metal. Plastic they didn't want to know.

There were bins for old clothes, cardboard, old batteries, and the staff clean up anything worthwhile and sell it in the recycling garage.
You don't get paid for it of course, but just pointing out what Rustproof is saying, there must be money in it if you deal with the scrap merchants.

If you are short of cash clean out all your unwanted stuff by selling it on Trade Me.

Don't bother with options like the $1 reserve, just set a fair price and stick to it.

I've made over $5000 on Trade Me in the past 18 months. I've sold everything from a rolling pin to a new, unwanted iron.

I haven't had any big stuff to sell, mostly small stuff and books. It's amazing how much all those little sales of $5, $10 and $20 tot up to!

I never do `buy nows' and only offer `fixed price offers' to sole watchers. If there's more than one watcher on your item relist it and let them bid for it!

With my five grand I've had my lounge suite recovered, renewed my television and dvd player and bought a new washing machine and drier. All the old stuff went to the Sallies.

It's well worth the effort.

A friend of mine grows plants (vegetable, flowers and succulents) and sells them at the gate. She puts her money to overseas holidays.
