If you’re looking to earn more money, then you’re often required to get creative at times. For most people, being creative means selling things on eBay, starting a website, or using money-making apps. These are all lovely and normal ways to do that – but l love the weird ways to make money!
Some of these weird and wonderful ways to make money can pay huge amounts of cash. Whether you’re willing to try them is another question altogether though!
Clinical Trials
We’re starting off big (and risky!). I joke, but lot’s of people do this. I know lots of people who did this at University.
Clinical trials can pay whopping sums of money if you’re willing to allow doctors to poke around and feed you the newest drugs the market has to offer.
In fact, if you’re willing to have the flu inserted into you and be monitored in a room for a week or so, then you could get paid £3750 by FluCamp (oh gawd, don’t come knocking on my door if it goes wrong though!)
This one’s probably not for you if you’re a bit of a germaphobe, though. If you’re lucky you could end up being the new Captain America.
Check out the NHS website to get some proper information on it. You could do some real good as well as make a bit of cash!
PayPig
If you’re wondering what on Earth a PayPig is then you’re one of the lucky ones. It’s a term for a person – usually a man – who wants to find someone to ruin him financially (and yes, a stranger asked me to do this for a lot of money!)
This usually comes in the form of them sending you their salary while they live off scraps.
It’s an interesting one for sure, and there are certainly plenty of PayPigs looking for ways to waste their cash on social media if this is your cup of tea.
Selling Your Hair
This one sounds strange but there’s a perfectly good explanation for it – people want to wear wigs and hair extensions that are made from real hair. They will pay obscene amounts of money.
It seems like it would be hard to earn much from this venture considering you have to sell at least 6 inches each time, but I guess it’s worth a shot if you’re planning on having a trim.
Give it a Google, but a popular one is Hair Harvest.
Just a warning though, they’ll probably want you to have non-dyed hair in good condition etc.
Job Spotter App
The Job Spotter app is an awesome way to make money randomly on the side.
If you spot an advert for a job in a shop window, you then snap a photo and will be rewarded points that can be exchanged for withdrawable cash.
You can earn more for lesser known adverts – think handwritten in a country village – so keep your eyes peeled.
HOWEVER – Job Spotter is currently on hold thanks to the Coronavirus.
Life Modelling
Enjoy art or – alternatively – getting your kit off in front of strangers? Life modelling could be the gig for you.
People get paid to turn up, take off their clothes, and let people paint, draw, or sculpt art pieces of them. This one comes with an hourly wage, though, so you better hope they put the heating on if you’re going to be sat there for a few hours.
Freebies
The easiest way to make money is to save on what you’re already spending.
If you’re wanting to increase your income then deals, glitches, and freebies can help you to buy the things you were already going to, but for much less.
Nike sales, Yankee Candle discounts, and Topshop flash sales are just a few that make the list here.
Watching TV
Earning money for watching tv isn’t only reserved for those lucky enough to be featured on Gogglebox.
These days, tv companies are paying people to watch their shows and give feedback so you can genuinely earn money in this way. Don’t get your hopes up too much, though, because some of the shows are likely to put you to sleep.

Excellent stuff, I did a very profitable trial for a London hospital and got very well paid but I’d be careful with these trials
The downside of trying to save by not spending so much is often that you continue spending and looking for money-off deals – you spend less on whatever, but nonetheless, you spend. Or you think of ways to earn money, and you spot some unusual ways to make some, but you have to cast around for temporary offers and rewards, agree to uncongenial conditions, and wait to be paid. Being more in charge of your own earnings and spending can be a difficult position to reach, especially with so many tempting offers – including deals on spending and debt (like debt was a desirable object) and deals for someone else to rate your credit-worthiness (like you need that). Heck! there are even deals for someone else to tell you how employable you are, and what kind of a person you are. Some (such as DNA test touters) will even hedge your future if you’ll pay them.
The insurance industry provides essential cover for such items as pensions, homes, and travel, but must admit to making a huge profit from people who never need to make a claim since some kinds of insurance policy are hardly going to be used. No wonder that they can afford to invest heavily in the stock market. Large-scale competitions (raffles) also make a lot from gullible people looking to win holidays.
It would be better for ordinary people not to allow themselves to become fodder for these sometimes
impressive schemes. I’d like to see how we can improve on these sorts of situations.
Nice blog. The content is really amazing that you have shared. Thanks!

Wow great article with full useful information!! One unusual way to generate income is by selling your unwanted items online. Sites such as eBay and Amazon have made it easy for individuals to start their own mini markets at home.
Hadn’t thought of any of these! Very creative.
It’s always important to have additional streams of income. If that means donating hair for a good cause (people balding who need wigs) then you’re making money and benefiting others at the same time, a win-win.
Love this! Thanks for the tips!
I decided that money was more important, I started working on cryptocurrency, or rather making money on it, and in general, at first nothing was clear, but I went to forums like and people like here
Crypto Groups helped me and most importantly they are not afraid to try in this day and age.
