Make your dream amount for 2012 or reach for the sky and make 12,000 in 2012

I'm in, I would just settle for putting money in a Xmas fund as this year I did ok but just before Xmas things went pear shaped.

Hi, i am in..determined to raise £12,000 off my own back in 2012. Feeling motivated although it is going to be difficult, I am starting my own freelance graphic design business, I am also a qualified journalist so plan to find some freelance paying work as I can't get a 9-5 at this point in time. I plan to also do surveys, save money where I can with loyalty points and freebies and reward vouchers, sell things on ebay/ Amazon etc and maybe look into getting a part time work from home telesales job. Wish all the rest of you th best of luck with this challenge.

I'm definitely in

I have been a lurker on these kind of things for a while and always thought how much of a good idea it was! I want in please! I already do a few bits but I lost my job and it's so hard to find another one (not through lack of trying) so in 2012 I am making my own money all the way! I already do loyalty cards & coupons/vouchers, some surveys but used to work in Market Research so I could not do many so am hoping this will pick up, I make some money from my blog but that is more of an ongoing side-line and I sell on FaceBook, GumTree and eBay. I am also an avid comper but only really comp for nice thing I can't justify buying and to give as gifts. I suppose I could sell what I win ubt then there is no guarantee of winning so it could be lost time with no monetary results. However, I have a few ideas for next year but I am still working out exactly what I'm going to do. I have no choice but to succeed plus I really, really want to and so my motivation will be high (I hope!)

All ideas are welcome, I hope to have £100 to use as start up on the 3rd of Jan and aim to use about half of that on matched betting. Then after that I am not sure what else to do. I am really creative, I can sing, write, cook and bake and I love to upcycle things (I have tried to sell vinyl clocks and bracelets I make online but have not sold any after 2 months) I am also good at advising people in their business matters, I helped a few friends market their businesses and gave them some fresh ideas on how to grow them further. Have been toying with this idea but with everyone losing money every where I am not too sure if people could afford to pay for a service like that

I will be over the moon if I can clear 8,500 as that is what I made a year before I got laid off because the company I worked for were going under :S

Good Luck everyone and remember, every penny counts and so if you find one on the street, pick it up and put it in your penny jar! You have to start somewhere right?

:eek:I'm in.
