Make cash from old clothes
Use this time for a wardrobe clear out and make money from your old clothes, shoes and even accessories. You can sell second hand clothes online via websites such as Depop, Vestiaire Collective or simply eBay.
Sell photos
Into photography and have some cool holiday photos? Or perhaps some newsworthy snaps of a headline making story? You can upload photos to stock websites or news agencies and then sit back. Anyone that uses them will pay you a fee.
For stock photography try Adobe Stock and Shutterstock. For news images visit Cavendish Press
