Very few people get rich by their wages. But if you are an intelligent investor, you can be one of the elite groups. You can continue to make astounding gains if you are well versed with the stock market. You can also make thousands from the property market, gold, or by investing in the right sector at the right time. Of course, making millions of pounds everyday is not everyone’s cup of tea. But if certain ways are followed one can certainly achieve this with a special kind of knowledge.

Your hobbies can fetch you a few million pounds. Skills, contacts and knowledge that are gained and developed in hobbies like upholstery, or interior design, gardening or picture framing can boost your income. Such skills are god-gifted. Right from selling your work to teaching the craft to others, there are plenty of opportunities of making money.

If you are planning to set up a new venture, plan carefully to make it a success. You can come up with millions of ideas when you sit idle. All you need to do is take pen and paper and catch every idea that passes through your mind and jot it down. The ideas should be unique and should be your own invention. You can take suggestions from your family members and friends. Once you have finalised the theme of your new venture, research on similar businesses in your area. Find out what people want.

The Internet can be another lucrative area for creative people. Individuals with a talent for writing, drawing, photography or music can use the Internet to make enough to live comfortably at the same time do what they like to do professionally.
