The upcoming UK recession – how will it affect you – how to get money
There is no doubt about it; with the cost of fuel and food going up and soaring inflation, the Bank of England has warned that the UK will enter into a recession towards the end of this year and will continue well into 2023. As a result, over a million households in the UK are predicted to be on the breadline and will have to choose between buying food and heating their homes. This is obviously a very worrying and catastrophic time for many, who have already been badly affected by the lockdowns of the past two years. The continuing conflict in Ukraine is to blame for many of the price increases.
As people will be eating into their savings, it is predicted that by 2024, one in five households will have no savings left whatsoever. The Bank of England also expects that unemployment will continue to rise for the next three years.
So amidst all this doom and gloom, is there anything you can do to earn some extra cash?
Why not sell your story to a top women’s magazine or newspaper?
If you have had something interesting, funny, or even tragic happen to you, it might be something that people would want to read about, and could earn you thousands. So how do you know if you have a story worth selling? Well, to find out, you can give us a call or send us an email, or alternatively, you can fill out the free form on our website to give you an idea. Of course, we will not waste any of your time if we don’t think your story is worth selling; however, you never know, there are many diverse subject matters that people enjoy reading about.
What sort of stories do publications want?
So many different things can happen in a person’s life; you might think that your life is boring and that no-one would want to read about it, but you would be surprised at the stories that magazines snap up! Obviously, certain subject matters will earn more money than others but have a think for a moment about what has happened in your life. Have you managed to lose a substantial amount of weight? Found a diet that works? Do you have an interesting or unusual hobby you would like to share? Maybe you have a large number of pets? Have you been the victim of a scammer or credit card fraud? Ever been cheated on? Found love in the unlikeliest of places? Or, on a far more serious note, have you been the victim of abuse? Or sexual harassment at work? All these and more would qualify as a story that a magazine would buy – the subject matters are endless. There is no need to worry as we handle all clients and their stories with the utmost sensitivity and respect.
Why choose us to sell your story?
You can be assured that you will get a much better price for your story by going through us instead of approaching a publication directly. This is because we are a leading independent agency. We offer your story on your behalf to all the top respected women’s magazines and newspapers, for example, Chat, Bella, Take a Break and many more. You could earn anything from hundreds to even £10,000 or more!
What happens when I want to sell my story?
First of all, you will need to have a chat with us to tell us your story and also, you will need to supply us with photographs and names of the people involved. Your story will then be written by a professional writer, after which it will be read to you for approval to make sure you are happy with everything and that it is all correct. It is important to us that you are always in control.
So if you have a story to tell, why not find out what it is worth by getting in touch with us today? We could all do with some extra cash with all that is going on in the world!
