Here's another a mates brother does. He buys second hand laptops,
strips them then paints the casing mad colours such as dayglo pink and
then sells em on Ebay. Can't make them fast enough.

You claim to know about computers. No doubt your family and friends are
aware you do so start up doing that. Charge £20 an hour or so. Offer to
do a "service" for £40 where you strip them, clean out the dust and
muck, clean all the crap off the hard drive, make sure the drivers,
software and AV are all up to date, that it's got no viruses and give
the HDD a quick defrag. Money for old rope. That's how I started my IT
business up and before long, I was making £1500-£2000 a weekend profit
doing LAN installations for small local companies. Admittedly those
jobs are rare but I've done them. All of my work was sourced through
word of mouth - never advertised once.

So there's another two to add to the five I've already given you that
even someone with no legs could quite easily do.
