Are you looking for different ways to earn money and have tried all the most common avenues, such as online surveys, playing games, entering competitors, etc., but have had no luck? Not all avenues are lucrative for everyone, and sometimes, you need to look outside the box to find new and inventive ways to make money to help boost your bank balance.
Let’s take a look at some viable options for you to consider.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials, a crucial part of medical research, not only contribute to the development of new products and medications but also offer a potential income source. While not everyone may qualify for all trials, if you do, there is the possibility of earning from £200 per visit in some cases, depending on the trail you sign up to.
It’s important to note that clinical trials, while offering a potential income, also come with potential risks or side effects. Always consult with a medical professional before participating in a clinical trial. The amount you can earn will vary depending on the time you need to commit to and the activities involved. You will also be limited as to how many you can undertake in a certain time frame, but some studies pay £200 to £500 per visit for long-term studies, while FluCamp offers up to £3,750 for 10 to 18 days trials.
Reproductive Donations
This involves donating your eggs or your sperm, and again, there are medical exclusions involved in donating your eggs or sperm. Clinics pay donors for their contributions, and you need to abide by the specific organisation’s rules and procedures whether you want to Donate your Sperm or your eggs. It’s not a decision to be taken lightly as your donation could result in a live birth, meaning a child will have your DNA that is living its life with other people. But if you want to help people conceive if they’re unable to do it in other ways, this can be a great way to help and earn some money, too.
Sell Your Hair
Again, this is not something that can be done frequently, but if you have long, healthy hair and you want to grow it to sell (or donate if money isn’t an issue), you can make money by selling your hair for use in wigs.
If you have long, healthy hair and are considering a change, selling your hair can be a surprising source of income. Hair-buying companies typically pay anywhere from £15 for at least 10 inches of hair up to £250 for 30 inches. It’s not a significant income, but it’s a unique way to make some extra money.
Life Modelling
Life models have long been used in art schools. It involves exposing some or all of your body to a room full of people who are learning how to draw life forms. To become a life model, you typically need to apply to art schools or agencies that hire models for their classes.
The act of being naked makes most people feel extremely vulnerable; however, there is an estimated salary for life models of up to £7,789 per year, with most models earning from £20 to £65 per hour if you think you can sit there in your birthday suit in front of other people.
