10 quick ways to make money in June

With a big summer of events kicking off this month including Wimbledon, The Euros, Glastonbury and Taylor Swift’s Eras tour, you might be in need of some extra spending money. 

And even if you’re not heading to anything in particular, you might want some extra cash for a summer holiday, which is where Which? can help.

We've not tried and tested every website and app referred to in this piece, so please read the terms and conditions carefully if you plan to use any.

2. Make £40 answering surveys

There's a fair number of research agencies that pay modest amounts to people who complete surveys online.

Most surveys will pay you anything from 10p to £2 per survey, but there are some sites that are more generous, and you might be paid with retail vouchers instead. 

Here are our top tips for making money using survey apps:

Refer friends to get extra money, most sites will pay you a referral fee and some will give you a percentage of their earnings.

Set up a dedicated email address to avoid survey sites flooding your main address.

Pay attention when answering as most providers will put in questions to check you are still engaged. 

Be honest and you’re more likely to get more surveys suited to your demographic and location. 

Look out for political surveys, in our experience we found we were less likely to get screened out of these – and there are plenty going round at the minute in the run up to the general election. 

Withdraw cash as soon as you can and move it to your own account. If the site goes bust there’s no protection on your earnings.

3. Earn £400 selling old clothes

According to eBay, the average person is holding onto £400 worth of clothing they don’t wear. 

If you’re thinking of having a wardrobe clear out, here are our top tips:

Take good photos, it could mean the difference between something selling or not. 

Choose a plain white background if you can, and try to include a picture of the item being worn. 

Research similar items to see what other sellers are charging to stay competitive. 

Upload little and often rather than big batches all at once, it means your items have a better chance of appearing in buyer’s feeds more regularly which could lead to more profile visits.

Consider bundling items like baby clothes to sell them quicker rather than individually.

Sell at the right time, save those Christmas jumpers and winter coats for when it gets colder, and list summer items such as shorts and swimwear now.

4. Generate £2-£10 for mystery shopping and tasks

Fancy getting paid to drink a pint or take pictures of tomatoes? These are a couple of the tasks we’ve recently spotted on mystery shopping apps. 

Mystery shoppers are regularly used to test supermarkets, retailers, restaurants and hotels. 

Other apps such as Be My Eye, Field Agent and Shepper work in similar ways. 

Some tasks require you to announce yourself to the business owner/manager/employees and can pay as much as £10 per task.

The Rent-a-Room scheme allows you to earn up to £7,500 a year tax-free from renting out your spare bedroom. 

However, it will vary depending on location – Londoners renting out a room earn £995 a month on average, while those in Northern Ireland earn £536.

7. Make £400 over a weekend renting out your property

For more flexibility, consider a short-term let and rent out your home or room when you’re on holiday, or at certain times of the year. 

Airbnb said a typical host who rents out their home for 30 nights a year makes around £6,000 per year, so for two nights you could make £400 on average. However, you may be able to earn significantly more depending on your location. 

Last year, homes near Wimbledon made an average of £1,000 during the tennis tournament.

You can rent out your parking space or electric vehicle charging point to motorists. 

According to Compare the Market, you could earn £209 per month, or £2,500 per year doing this depending on your location. 

The most 10 profitable locations include London (£587 per month), Glasgow (£400), Cardiff (£354), Belfast (£326), Bradford (£324), Bristol (£291), Plymouth (£283), Leeds (£281), Manchester (£277) and Edinburgh (£272).

9. Get £10-£250 per day renting out your stuff

From camera equipment to evening dresses, you can rent out stuff you rarely use rather than selling it. 

Popular categories on Fat Llama include film and photography, DJ equipment, and garden tools and furniture.

What you earn will massively depend on what you’re renting. For example, you could rent out a high-specification camera with lenses for as much as £250 per day, whereas we saw jet pressure washes for £13.

10. Bring in £44 per hour for your skills

It is possible to be paid for skills, such as photography or doing DIY. 

We looked at how much it would cost to rent a handyman to help with Ikea furniture and the average hourly rate was £44. 

If building flat-pack furniture isn’t your skill, how about dog walking or cat sitting? Several sites can match up home and pet owners with willing sitters – your housesitting credentials will need to be verified, and you'll receive reviews each time you do it.
