Need some more money each month? Would a little bit of extra cash each month make things a little bit easier? No not debt, not high interest rate just a little bit of extra effort and hey presto! Make money from your home! The top ten 10 creative ways to use your home to gain that extra bit of cash!

1. Have a Foreign Language Student or visiting Lecturer rent a room: As English is still widely used across the World especially for business then the UK is a popular spot for overseas students to learn English.
   As such a number of Language Schools have sprouted up across the UK and what do overseas students need, yes, somewhere to stay.
   So the opportunity here is rent a room to a Language Student on a short term basis! Searching online to find out where if there is a school near you is a good start.
   
2. Help make movie magic: Want to be famous? Well we can't do that but we could make your home a hit! Ever wondered how TV companies get their settings, their backdrops? Watch TV for a bit and you will see hundreds of homes being used as sets, think of 'Prime Suspect' or 'Phoenix Nights' and there are thousands more.
   The house that are used as backdrops are rented from people who are prepared to do so, often for a tidy sum! Sign up to an agency that specialises in this area, often for free, and soon you could be hosting the latest 'Inspector Morse'.
   And more than likely they will only need to film {the exterior of your home|the outside of your house} as all internal scenes are shot in a studio! The agency will charge you a commission but you could still earn up to a £1k a day depending on the property type and location.
   Not bad but you do need to take into account the disruption to your daily routine during filming, which could take months!
3. Fill that empty car parking space: And make cash! Extremely popular around the major London airports where literally people are earning thousands this great way of earning extra dosh is now spreading across the rest of the country.
   Simple, yet brilliant, if you live near a train station, airport, arena or major sporting venue.
   All you have to do is simply rent out your car parking pace at a price that undercuts the major multi-storey and hey presto another income! You will be amazed at how much someone will pay each year in parking, just nip down your local multi-storey and see how much they charge, for me it's £14 per day, that's £70 per week! If you had a drive that was free during the day imaging how much you could earn, just from me! Specialist websites include advice and information on what you need to do and can help you market your parking spaces.
   
4. Rent out that spare room: This can be a very financial rewarding and because of a Government scheme called 'Rent A Room' you can earn the first £4250.
   00 every year tax free! To learn more about this scheme please visit DirectGov website.
   There are of course many other advantages to finding a lodger, many of you daily house chores can be shared plus you will let another person into your life, making new acquaintances and friendships.
   Finding a lodger is becoming more and more popular, as a homeowners coming under more financial pressure realise that the spare room could earn them extra cash.
   There will be some downsides and you need to be wary of these and fully research them but they tend to focus on the loss of privacy.
   Just to repeat myself here, there are plenty of sources of information out there on how to safely take in a lodger so research the process thoroughly.
   
5. Mid week letting: Commuters, why not live nearer work and travel less, spend more time in bed or be in the office first? Homeowners (in cities) why not rent out your spare room to a commuter during the week? Saving the commuter cash, giving them more time and earning you more cash.
   All for a minor inconvenience.
   But think of the excitement of meeting new people, think of earning more cash and think about the fact that every weekend you get your privacy back! If your working too and living in a big city this type of room letting can offers the best hassle to reward ratio.
   It's a win-win-win situation for city dwellers with a spare room, commuters who want to save cash and the planet.
   
6. Start a Bed and Breakfast: OK so this may be drifting into the 'major |undertaking' and 'large effort' arenas but this is an opportunity for some people, maybe the retired, the recently unemployed or redundant.
   This is probably not the best idea for those of you with already busy lives but if you like a challenge!! Firstly it does help if the place you live in is the sort of place that attracts Customer to B&B's.
   If it isn't then you might want to move on.
   You will also have to understand the legislation that goes with running a B&B and a small business so this definitely a project for the determined.
   Again search online to find advice on setting up a B&B including organisations that run courses on this subject.
   
7. Rent a room as a daytime office: This is quite explanatory to be honest.
   There is a surprising level of workers who struggle to find a quiet and secluded place to operate from that is situated close to their work place.
   If you don't have a bedroom to rent out, but have a spare room that isn't being used for anything other than a bit of clutter, then this could be just the option for you! Offering a room to be a daytime office for someone will not only provide you with some extra cash, but it also gives you comfort in your home being occupied throughout the day.
   
8. Going away? Rent out your house!: If you are not in your house then why shouldn't someone else be, someone you trust of course and someone who pays you.
   If you are going away for an extended period and your home is going to be vacant, consider renting it.
   The cash will help!
9. Sell your garden: If you own a large amount of land which you are struggling to find a use for, then you could consider selling it.
   Farms across the country are continually looking to expand and will happily barter for a proportion of your land to use for animal grazing or crop rotation.
   Similarly, developers are always looking for areas to build on, and plots in former gardens have become increasingly popular.
   
10. Cash in the attic: This is an area that most people can make really quick cash from and all it takes is a rummage! That's it, rummage through the attic, the garage and the spare room and you will find 'stuff' you no longer want.
    It may well be 'stuff' you no longer want but we are someone will! Identified get it on an auction site or down the local car boot sale!

So, there you have it, an Englishman's home is not only his castle, it's a potential gold mine too!
