Leaflet Distributor

You get paid some hideous amount per 1000 you do which is a lot of hours depending on where you live.
 
Surely this is the sort of thing you do alongside a paper round (or as part of one) when you're say 13 or 14?

Assuming you're not 13 or 14 you presumably have some other skills you could put to better use. If you don't then perhaps your time would be better spend getting some.

earn enough in other jobs like doing 37+ hours but got a couple of hours free, and if you can do it whenever in that week may be worthwhile. no stress or hassle
 
I doubt it will meet NWM even if they say so as it will be an insane amount to deliver and you'll probably need a car and they won't pay petrol costs either.

Even delivering the Yellow Pages only pays about £100 per 1000 and you have to go and collect them yourself from a collection point.

yeah but if your aim is to earn more money then this seems like a very inefficient way to do that, what I'm trying to highlight is that it it literally among the lowest tier of work out there

I have a couple of days off in a week from my other jobs so wondering if taking up posting leaflets is ok, and pays nmw.


anyone done it?

I did it ~40 years ago because I was too young to have a paper round.

Is it OK? I'd say no, it isn't. No because you'll be doing a lot of work for very little pay and no because you'll be an annoyance to other people by stuffing even more junk into their homes.
 
Spend your days off setting up a few Wordpress blogs for niche fetishes, fill them with as much content as you dare, and get signed up for Google ads.

You are forgetting multidrop and housing density is important.... If op lives in a rural area it might take 3x as long to post 1k leaflets..

I'm not forgetting anything of the sort, whether he lives in a high density area or not my point remains the same.
 
Wife and i did it years ago - once.

She went up a drive and was set up upon by 2 dogs. We stopped delivering immediately, Yellow pages paid up the round we were supposed to be doing, but refused to discuss the incident further.
 
Thread shows the typical modern work ethic, save for hornetstinger who despite already working a lot of hours looks to bolster his income by considering doing a probably lousy, low paid job in his few free hours. If I was looking to employ someone his attitude would impress me. Good luck hornetstinger, hope you find something better, but money is money and better to take more whilst looking for a more profitable way to boost your income.
