Easy Ways To Make Money
ñ Film Locations – You can rent your house out as film locations for a movie, TV programme or a photography shoot. It can pay anything from €150 up to €1000 a day, depending on the size of the film crew, and the size of their budget.

Photo Locations: Owners of houses can earn up to €2000 a week. The larger the upheaval the more money you can expect to earn, says locations manager Donnacha Brady, who specialises in commercials. If you have a rather nice house you’ll probably get €1,000 for a 10-hour day, he explains. This money is paid on the day.
Fashion-shoot locations: glossy magazines prefer distressed, lived-in locations to brand-new, homes. Due to their intrusive nature €750 would be the minimum offered for at least 12 hours. This figure can rise to €1,000 plus, depending on just how intrusive the shoot will be. In terms of disruption, fashion editorials usually take a day to shoot. Commercials usually take one to three days. There may be some pre- and post-production also required. Rates are calculated according to the duration of the production’s stay. This makes feature films the holy grail of revenue generation for homeowners.

Photo Locations (photolocations.ie) charges between €350 and €500 for a day that starts at 9am and ends by 6pm. Homeowners get €350 of the €500. They are looking for unique new properties. kate@photolocations.ie Homeowners who rent their properties out as locations have a tax liability of 41 per cent, whether they are self-employed or a PAYE worker
ñ Etsy + Fiverr.com People often forget that they can use esoteric skills to make a bit of cash, even if they're not very good at them at all. If you're into knitting, or pottery-making, or any kind of crafting at all, you can make and sell things on a website called Etsy.com. Another similar venture, for people who lack the skills to be able to actually make anything, is to take a look at fiverr.com. This is a website where you advertise a job, trick or dare you could do for five dollars, and then wait for someone to pay you to do it.
ñ Keeping Chickens : There are lots of websites dedicated to this - http://poulacapplepoultry.com/html/about_us.html

ñ Rummaging :
There's specialist websites which mean that you can do the whole “flea market” thing without having to actually lug stuff around – and you're bound to find more buyers when the market is worldwide rather than being run out of a car in a picnic area somewhere. Searching through your old stuff can lead to a nice discovery of some old books or records which you can put on sites like Discogs.com.
ñ Renting - There's always the option of renting stuff that you're not using. There's a website called parking.ie where you could rent out a parking space that you might have in a city centre that you're not using.
There's a place called Getdigs.ie where you can find someone who just wants to lodge during the week.
ñ Mystery Shopping – The basic idea is that you get given an assignment of a particular shop to check out, and give a complete report of the employees, the cleanliness, and the service. You're usually asked to make some odd request or test the employees, and then report back to the company. It's a non-taxing way to make 40 or 50 euro.

You have to email and send in info, then go through training and pass a training test before you can take part. You have to be reliable, organized, efficient, honest, and thorough. Fees depend on the complexity of the assignment and length of reports, and can vary from €5 for a telephone call, to €100 for a complex visit. Typically it can take anywhere from a week to 6 weeks to get your first job. You will be paid on a monthly basis.
ñ Online Surveys – Lots of the time the remuneration is actually in vouchers or phone credit rather than in cold hard cash, but the fact is that if you sign up to the right place, and spend a lot of your day doing online surveys for a load of different brands, you can pull together a decent, if slightly small, amount of cash. They can also be handy in that they put you on the prospective panel for focus grouping, which is pretty much the same thing but in real life, and they pay a lot more.

You will be rewarded for every survey you take. The amount will vary and will be stated before you complete the survey. Your reward will be added to your account within 28 days. Rewards include vouchers for online companies, Amazon etc. When your balance reaches €30 you can claim your reward. You can check your account balance at any time by logging into your account.
ñ Online Freelancing – For anyone who ever fancied themselves a writer, you can log onto a website like Helium.com and write articles about any topic. They're all added to a database, and you get paid a few cents every time someone reads one. There are plenty of stories on the website about people making a living from doing it, but that's probably easier said than done.
