Best way to make money quick?
I'm not after 'get rich quick' schemes or anything, but I was wondering if there's a way to make a decent amount of money quickly online. Like within a week or something

It completely depends what you mean by 'quick' and by a 'decent' amount. If you want to earn hundreds within your first month, you're probably best looking at one time bonuses like bonuses for switching banks and energy supplier. If you're looking to start earning a regular income online, I would say you need to start more slowly than that and hedge your bets by trying as many different kinds of opportunities as possible. You can make £50 per month from surveys if you can be bothered to spend the time.
If you want an actual full time income, you just need to find your niche. There are loads of ways of doing this; YouTube, website creation (easier than ever now thanks to AI), even building your own phone apps are just a few of many suggestions.

Matched betting is the quickest way, but my guess is we're not allowed to discuss it here

Why not?

Because it involves gambling websites, even though it's technically not actually gambling, so it's frowned upon by a lot of communities

If you genuinely need cash in your account within 5 to 7 days, bank switch incentives are hands down your best bet. Several UK banks pay £150 to £200 within 10 days of your switch completing. Just make sure you set up a dummy bank account with two active direct debits so you dont mess up your main bills

User research panels like Askable and People for Research are surprisingly fast payouts. If you apply for screeners early in the week and land a 60-minute remote video call, they often pay £50 to £70 via bank transfer or PayPal within 48 hours of completing the session

Selling clutter around the house on Vinted is another quick one. Pack up clothes or old toys that havent been used in a year. Once the buyer recieves the parcel, the funds hit your Vinted balance and transfer straight to your bank in a couple of days

Agree with the bank switches, but also look into Prolific if you can get off the waitlist. Studies pay out to PayPal as soon as the researcher approves them, and you can withdraw as soon as you hit £6

Seconding Askable - did a 45-minute screen-share test on a banking app prototype through them last Tuesday and the £45 hit my PayPal the very next afternoon
