Lynn Beattie is the founder of the Mrs Mummy Penny blog whose aim is to make personal finance seem simple and suggest lifestyle choices that could save you money.

1. Earning cashback

I love TopCashback and have been a regular user for more than five years now.
Whenever I buy anything online I go to TopCashback first and click through to the website from there, which triggers a payment.

That might be £60 cashback when switching broadband or £100 cashback when booking a holiday using Expedia.

One of my best savings using the site was when I booked a holiday to Las Vegas and got £115 cashback which I used for spending money.

EARNINGS: £100

2. Complete tasks for money

Money-earning website 20Cogs gets you to complete 20 tasks over a period of a few weeks.
They can be things like questionnaires and signing up to offers, but all can be cancelled at no cost.
I tried it and made £180 after completing the 20 tasks.

You can also currently earn a £5 welcome bonus just for joining.

EARNINGS: £180

2. Selling stuff on eBay

It's the oldest trick in the book but many of our money savers say they still sell their old unwanted items such as clothes and homeware on the auction website to earn extra cash.

You don't even need to go to the post office anymore, as you can choose to have couriers pick up the items from your home.

eBay will take a cut of whatever you make from selling your items though so it may be worth looking for other ways to flog your items, such as on Gumtree or on Facebook.

Check out these top tips for selling your gear on eBay and how to maximise your cash.
