    how long does it take to hear when you sign up?
    :footie:
  • I'm new to this and like many others am feeling the pinch and looking for ways to earn a bit extra. I had a shot at mystery shopping last year but frankly the money is pretty poor for the time it all takes. I today signed up with a website www.shiftshack.com who say "employers will find you..." It seems to be looking for part-time/casual and temp staff for laods of different jobs and i'm hoping to pick up work in my freetime ie: evenings and weekends. Seems pretty good but I think it's quite new so I don't know what to expect. Has anybody else used it ? :confused:
  • hi there,
    Not an option for everybody but I do some webcam work for ExcelTelemedia. You can earn up to £15 an hour but its great for me cos I can do it when the kids are in bed and its not as scary as you might think!:rotfl:
    think their website is www.exceltelemedia.com and you can just log on whenever you want.
  • Hi
    In the past I have worked for my local District Counil counting votes after elections at night time and in the day. Elections are being held in June so this may be an chance to earn a little extra. Give your council a quick ring to find out !

    The cheek of some people never ceases to amaze me!
    Will people ever stop joining forums and blatantly plugging themselves in their first post?

    free to join.
    You earn by writing reviews on products on their site - for every rating that your review get's you can get anything from 1/2 a penny to 4p.
    You get a small additional bonus for being the first person to review something.
    There are competitions every week or so - where the best review on a certain product or topic can win £15.
    Excellent - rated reviews get an additional share of a money pot, which I have not had yet as an excellent to hard to get but can be anything up to a few extra quid for a review.

    I have been a member since October 2008. I love films and dvd's and enjoy writing reviews, I do maybe 1-2 a month.
    Since October I have got up to £3.

    You can cash out at £5.

    So if you can write decent reviews, regularly say 1-4 a month then I reckon you could make £20-£30 extra in a year - possible more if you win some of the competitions and things.

    My username there is the same as on here - feel free to have a look at my reviews.
    Not really comping any more as too ill - but hoping to win £1000+ in 2017 in cash prizes - watch this space!

    Post has been removed hence why the post about signatures looks odd
