Whether you’re looking for a new job, or you’re just looking to make a bit of extra money on the side, there are a number of things you can do that don’t require any experience. Best of all, you may learn a new skill and have a lot of fun in the process.
Coding
One of the most in demand professions in the world right now, as it is used in the development of computer software, websites and everything in between. Coding can be a complex skill but with enough patience you can teach yourself with the help of online guides and tutorial videos. Rapper Willi.i.am has been an advocate for coding and even ran an online video course with the BBC in order to encourage younger people to get into coding. A key benefit of teaching yourself is you can learn at your own pace and it will become easier the more you do it. It’s not unusual for coders to ear six figure salaries.
Blackjack
It may seem difficult to believe at first but you can make money from blackjack providing that you’re sensible with your wagers and spend enough time to really study the game. This handy blackjack guide can be a very useful resource whether you’re a beginner starting out, or if you’re an experienced player who could do with refreshing your memory. As with anything, practice makes perfect and you can always play a few hands for fun against a friend or there are many free online games as well.
Home Business
You can always take advantage of a skill you already have and turning that into a new job. If you’re skilled with woodwork or sewing then you could make products at home that can then be sold online. Many people are always looking for products that have unique feel or a more personal touch for household décor or as gifts for close friends and family members. Homemade items are a fantastic way to start up your own little business that you can run in your own time for as much or as little as you want depending on the demand you receive for your work.
Extra
There’s nothing quite like the glamour of show business and it’s something that anybody can get into. Naturally, you’re not going to become the next George Clooney over night but being an extra (or a background artiste) can be a fantastic job. For a start you don’t have to do very much, there can be a lot of sitting around, drinking coffee while you wait for the next scene to be shot. Generally you’ll be the person in the background of the Queen Vic drinking a pint. Best of all the pay is really good with anything upwards of £60 a day.
Mind Muscles
Your brain is a muscle and needs training to grow stronger just like the rest of your body. There are a number of ways you can train your brain with a series of games that are fun and engaging while also improving your cognitive abilities. Puzzles like Sudoku and crosswords are also very effective towards this aim.
