‘I made £120 in less than 30 seconds’: Woman shares easy way to make extra money from home – Express

One of the easiest ways to generate spare cash is to have a look around the house for items that are no longer being used. Most people will have an old mobile phone which they could list online in less than one minute – with some selling for up to £350. For anyone who needs inspiration, a new app promises to pay people straight away so they don’t even have to wait for people to bid on their item.

The cost of living crisis is forcing people to be resourceful – one survey shows (30 percent) of Britons have been selling unused household items such as old mobile phones.

It’s one of the easiest side hustles – whether that’s to pay for soaring food and energy bills or to build up a savings pot for Christmas.

Tom Moony, president international at ecoATM, which commissioned the research, said: “Everyone is feeling the pinch now as prices soar, from their day-to-day shop to heating their homes.

“So, it means people are looking at a lot of different ways they can either earn extra cash or save money.”

The survey revealed that 92 percent of respondents had at least one mobile phone in their home they had not used in the last 12 months.

More than half (53 percent) had between three and eight spare phones gathering dust at home.

Mr Moony added: “Selling off old unused items can be an easy way to free up some cash, and we often find that people are unaware of just how much they can get from items such as old smartphones, which in some cases can be enough to cover a flight abroad.”

Millie Wright, a 24-year-old from London has just stumbled across the Twig app where she sold her iPhone 8 for £120 and got paid straight away.

Twig is like Vinted and eBay but without the bidding – great if one needs a speedy cash injection.

Millie told Express.co.uk: “With reselling online, you always have to second guess who you are buying from or who you are selling to.

“It’s so easy to scam people, and I have been scammed whilst trying to sell my camera!”

With Twig, however, there is no chance of getting scammed as the item is sold for you.

The app also offers users money for referring friends and family.

Geri Cupi, founder of Twig said: “We want to reward people for coming on board with us and help us build a sustainable world.

“Together, we create a positive impact- increasing the item’s lifecycle in order to reduce the carbon, water and the waste footprints of fashion, electronics and other consumer industries.

“With that in mind, each user who refers a friend receives a £5 thank you and an additional £5 for using a code which we generate for every user.”

Authenticity Sells: Inside Beauty Brands’ Ongoing Digital Marketing Battle – BeautyMatter

Life without social media apps would be unimaginable today for most. Before Instagram, which launched in 2010, and TikTok, which debuted in 2016, there were apps such as Myspace and MSN (Windows Live Messenger) that seemed to be used solely by younger generations, predominantly for instant messaging. Now those days are gone, with these apps only ever mentioned in relation to what they once were. Even Facebook, which was arguably the breakthrough platform for how we use social media today, began to see a decline in everyday users at the end of 2021. As apps such as Instagram, Tiktok, Twitter, and Snapchat are named Adobe’s top social media sites to be using in 2022, the online world is being utilized for more than its original purpose of keeping up with friends, with the global social media advertising market predicted to be worth $262.62 billion by 2028 . Despite this, several consumers admit to being tired of advertisements across social media. 64% say that they’re likely to stop ...

RobinHood Tried And Failed. Entrepreneurs, Build A Simpler Investing Platform For Millennials And Gen Z – Forbes

A young Millennial or Gen Z using her smartphone to check on her investments. getty When you talk to Millennials and Gen Z adults about investing, their answers, and confidence, are all over the place. This article here, Bit Coin there, throw in some meme stocks via social media and maybe add Robinhood to the conversation mix. That is not the answer. Robinhood announced another 23% layoff of employees yesterday; that comes on top of a 9% layoff last quarter. What was supposed to be the great savior of investing for the next generation of investors is failing. Why? Well, Millennials and Gen Z are challenging populations when it comes to investing. Millennials and Gen Z for all their savviness about technology, still are not confident or knowledgeable about investing. According to a Yahoo Money article that referred to a Pew Research study, only 37% of millennials feel knowledgeable about their investments.
