How do you earn your extra income?

antispam246

I have a pretty solid daily routine which I try to build upon every month or so.

1. Pigsback - Enter daily comps, racecaller (2 bets then 1 more and 1 more if needed)
2. Quidco - Daily clicks (check for new ones every week) + any cashback
3. WePromiseto - Daily clicks (check for new ones every week)
4. TopCashBack - Daily clicks (check for new every week) + any cashback
5. GetPoundsBack - Daily clicks (check for new every week)
6. Nectar - Check for new surveys/free points + any points back (Amaazon)
7. Lightspeed - Daily check for new surveys (I do them all for comp enteries too)
8. Global Opinions Panels - Daily check for new surveys
9. Pinecone Research - Surveys when e-mailed
10. Ebay - Buy and Sell. Daily checks for anything to sell on, from here and HDUK as well as cleaning out junk from my loft once a month.
11. Anything that won't eBay I list on online classified and check for replies daily
12. Shop and Scan - weekly scans
13. Food on the Go - weekly texts
14. Cokezone - collect codes from various places

I used to use Money Back Madness and Cashback Kings but I didn't really like either of them to be honest, the setup didn't suit me but I check now and then incase the situation changes.

There's a few other things I do now and then and I'm looking to add a new cashback for daily clicks and no purchase offers every month.

As for all my current cashback sites used I check about twice a month for new no purchase offers.

My daily routine takes me about an hour.

No that it's entirely relavant to your question but I find it helps, I also keep detailed records using excel of all the schemes I use for upping my income and update it once a month or whenever I make an order for say vouchers.

Since May last year, I've made *checks* £1438.51 from all cashbacks, vouchers and ebay. When I get vouchers I tend to buy something to resale, usually I aim for profit but aslong as I make an equal amount then I've basically converted my vouchers to cash and they go straight into my "Cashback" savings account

I do occassionally treat myself of course but only if I genuinely need it, I've finally broken free of impulse buying.

There's so many ways to make money, the longer I do this the more that open up to me and I tend to get a few one off ideas of my own which help make a nice lump sum. Atleast in the past, now I'm working full time I don't tend to do this anymore, although I would like to it's jsut a case of organizing myself a tad better to fit them in without wasting too much time on it.

My greatest friend in all this has been..... Firefox Browser lol. I swear the thing is geared for cashback, absolutely love it.

Edit: Actually I want to add something because I found this highly reelvant to actually increasing my income. I mentioned before I keep records using excel. I've increasing made these records more indepth with use of formulas. Nothing that burned up too much time but done well enough to keep genuine records.

For example with ebay, every auction is listed with numerous details and if a sale is made I keep a record of everything, from the item, the buyer, the start, current and end price, the fee taken by ebay for sale, the paypal fee if payment was by paypal etc.. This helps me keep a record of the actual profit I've made of each item, that was when I move the money about I ensure that only the profit goes into my savings account and not anything I paid from my own expenses as well as other expenses. Same with vouchers, what they were used on, if I converted them to cash and the profit.

So yeh, excel and firefox and my 2 best friends when it comes to keeping tabs on increasing my income.

Even more importantly but not relevant whatsoever! All the data including firefox profiles are backup up every week should the worst happen I even keep copies in a fireproof safe, lol.

Finally, I know it all sounds like too much work, it did too me, I remember when I started trying to get my finacnes in order, boy I've come a long long way. The more you keep at it, the easier it becomes and the more you begin to understand how very very easy it is to up your income without wasting too much of your time.

I've just gotten started on chasing extra cash so at the moment I'm working my way through the deals on quidco. Seems to be plenty on offer. I'm up £75 so far after just under 2 weeks and some of the deals are very cool. I watched a couple of movies this weekend that I got paid to receive!

I plan on venturing out to some of the other cashback sites soon, topcashback seems to have a pretty good reputation.

What is matched betting? Is this taking advantage of cashback and free bets for signing up to online betting sites, or something different?

Daily clicks specifically refer to cashback sites. Basically when you sign up to one they generally offer links you can click through every day, usually once or twice, and these accumulate a small amount of money, like 1-5p everytime you click through to do these links. You click them daily and watch the pennies add up. It doesn't sound like much but when you counter in all the daily clicks you can potentially do from numerous cashback sites it does add up. It can be time consuming but it's just something you get used to after while.

I've found that from signing up to a new cashback site doing all their no spend offers (the 100% no spend offers) and doing the daily clicks will eventually equate to about £20 cashback per site.

No spend offers are similar to daily clicks but require you doing abit more, it may be anything from simply cliccking through to a link, registering with a site, or doing a survey and you can only do them once.

When you're using multiple cashback sites you always have to remember that some of the offers be it daily clicks or no spend overlap one another so where you say do them once on one cashback site you may find your unable to do it on another. The easiest way round this is to simply use a different e-mail address, and different details where necessary. For daily clicks you can clear your cookies and where necessary also reset your i.p address (if it's not static).
