Need an extra £200-£300 per month!

Hi there,

I'd like to earn at least an extra £200 per month. I currently work from home as a copywriter, which gives me about £1k. I'm really scraping the barrel each month.

I'd get a part-time job, but at the moment that's out of the question, partly due to the state of my mental health, and partly due to the fact that I am currently in the middle of moving house.

Would doing Daily Clicks and Surveys be a way of reasonably knocking up that sort of figure? I would be very grateful for a point in the right direction... The best survey sites, review sites etc.

Thank you for your help

  • Kt.swan Hi and welcome i'm afraid to say that whilst daily clicks and sureveys is a step in the right direction they alone will not bring in the kind of money that your looking to find, have you thought about posting your statement of affairs in the debt free wannabe forum so that other helpfull mse'ers can take a look and see if you can cut back anywhere

    I use slice the pie its a music review website however that also isn't a reliable source of income i am currently trying to meet my target of £100 which i think is achieveable more than that would take so much effort

    Hopefully some other kind people will be along soon with more advice or potential ideas

    They're not a good way at all - in fact, I'd argue that they were one of the worst ways of making money. People make a big fuss out of doing their daily clicks and scratchcards and surveys - but in all reality, they're only suited for bored housewives.

    Wouldn't we all if you find some where please tell us. Most of us would be doing this for the amount of money its never been the case you can make that sort of money on surveys or cashback sites without thousands of surveys or referrals. Best bet is match betting see gambling forum for that :)

    Surveys and daily clicks may be around £5 to £20 tops really a week

    Most places are cutting back the days of making much money on net though that route are long ago the trade was dropping even before credit crunch hit us and its getting worse every day ie Kelkoo search 8p now 1p soon

    a combination of Slice The Pie and Matched Betting should net you £200 a month, but would be dependant on bookie offers I guess, and available bank roll to start with.
  • Not really a regular income but doing competitions has brought me in a lot of money in the past 6 months (see sig.). Of course the trouble with this is that its in no way guaranteed but it's a nice bonus when you get a call saying you won! If I average out my winnings over the 7 months I've been comping I guess we'd be talking around an extra £550 per month just for putting my details in a few boxes and getting some junk emails.

    Don't think you'd make that kinda money doing surveys though so a PT job may be your only option otherwise sadly :(

    Good luck
    2008-2011: £23k of wins :eek:

    Could you not do some articles for magazines etc in addition to your copywriting. How did you get into that field? do you have contacts who would be able to help?
