  This practical guide is aimed at those who want to augment their salary or make their interests pay and have time on their hands. It shows how to choose the field that best suits the individual's ability, resources and circumstances and make a financial success of it. The book provides information on specialist skills or qualifications, for example, computing, editing and typing, electrical work and building and skills that are accessible to many, such as child-minding, catering, sewing, DIY and gardening or simply taking in lodgers. Other chapters deal with selling and promoting your services or products effectively, whether through retailers and wholesale networks or on a stall at your local market. Advice is given on how to cope with less appealing tasks and the groundwork involved in working for yourself, including costing and estimating, keeping records and raising finance.
