Just got £36.50 from mystery shopping - a lot more should be to come, as I did four last week and have done seven this week, with two more to do.

My Pigsback account also tells me that I have £11 in there, but its not true - looking at the rewards section, to get a £10 voucher, you have to have 1150 points, which is a pain. I hope to reach it this month, anyway.

I'm chugging away at lightspeed and yougov (latter takes a long time, but is worth it) and am going back to doing a few other surveys too, especially since ciao now do quite high value ones, as well as the ridiculous 10p ones.

Matched betting - there is a faint possibility I'll do one this week, with the Wimbledon offers coming up, but it will need a lot of research if I do, and I'm not sure I can hack it.

There's also a comping challenge I still haven't got round to.... *so* inconvenient that I have to sleep sometimes!

Hi everyone! 11 pages already and only the 2nd! Thanks Ciara for taking the reins this month - and for adding me to the list!

Just back from holiday so haven't got back into this yet but will aim for £15 a day. Just been through my emails to discover a book has sold on Amazon (in spite of me setting myself to be on holiday! :eek: - thankfully sold Monday so will only be a day late posting!) - but I am getting over £35! Is a heavy hardback so will cost a bit to post but hopefully the profit should more or less cover my first 2 days and get me off to a solid start. Will update sig when have sorted it out.

Hi there, if you google cybershop gfk you should find them - I confess, I'm completely confused by the number of similar websites they have, which is why I can't just *give* you an addy, sorry. A lot of them are tiny, for phone calls, but they add up - I've just nabbed four more. When you first do one, it takes forever (it does me, anyway) but when you do a dozen jobs that all have the same questionnaire, you can rattle it off no problems.

Good luck with it.

Better get my bum in gear

Welcome to all challenge newbies

If you do a search for the previous £10 a day challenges there’s LOADS of great info on how people make the extra cash - Also Martin’s guide on the main site at http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/protect/make-money
(Thanks Karmacat & Frugalpam) has lots of tips - and the Up Your Income board has loads of ideas too

£10 a day REALLY is achievable but quite a few people start off with a £5 per day aim, others more, it just depends on your circumstances.

People count their extra earnings in different ways too - some only count cash available to pay off various things, others count vouchers, money saved etc - it’s up to you!

Challengers also count their earnings in different ways too, some count as they do clicks, earns points etc, others only count dosh when it hits their bank - again it’s up to you.

Off the top of my head, ways to make extra cash:
*Ebay
*Amazon
*Play.com - you can now sell on the site in the same way as on Amazon
*Green metropolis - Site for selling only books
*Cashback sites - Quidco, Freefivers, Pigsback etc
*Survey Sites - Lightspeed etc, sign up to these via cashback sites to get maximum dosh
*Free B!ngo - on Thursdays at g a l a and also available on some sign up to get a deposit sites, or where you can sign up for more cashback than you have to deposit & play through so you're guaranteed a profit. Not sure which sign up ones are still available though, don't use your own money!
*Writers Share - Don’t know much about it, more info on the Up Your Income Board
*Slice the Pie - Get paid to listen to (sometimes awful) new music and give your opinion
*Matched Betting - ONLY WHEN YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU’RE DOING!
*Car Booting
*Overtime at Work - That you wouldn’t normally have done if not for the challenge/this site
*Mystery Shopping

And depending on what you do/where you live there’s plenty more opportunity for getting a wee bit extra!

Hope that’s of some help, really should get to bed now!

Wrote that the other night - Page 7 of the thread.

Today's been another good moneymaking day so far! Cheque for £28.59 is on it's way to me from freefivers Plus a cd sold on amazon £3.40 profit from that!

Need to get ebaying so I don't finish at that

Love Suzi xx
