    I spent 10 days in France did 49 evaluation and got paid just over $4000 for the work which converts to £2492.00 after costs of around £1200 this left me with a profit of £1292.00 add to that other work done in the UK this month of £650 I have earned £1942.00 I have also earned another sum for work carried out in Russia by my step daughter, which has taken quite a bit of my time but I don’t count this although it amounts to £1000 after I have paid the cost of doing the work. After conversion her cut comes to over £2000.00 net profit which will cover her studies and living cost for the next 7 months

    I exceeded my measly target of £100 in fees, I did do quite a few no fee jobs as really wanted a nice night out and got a lovely haircut. wathowl: 49 jobs, I take my hat off to you, that is quite amazing, I don't even think I have done 49 jobs in the last 2 months.

    I think we had this conversation a few weeks back, can't remember the outcome but don't think any company names were disclosed. Can't quite remember though. I'll look back and see if I can find it.

    Previous post by Wathowl if you want to email him.

    And also whole discussion on the April MS Challenge. I think its great that Wathowl can make this much but he also has the ability to travel everywhere, a wife and family that speak many languages, obviously works very very hard, but don't think its in reach of the likes of me or many others on here.

    I have the ability to travel because this is my only means of income I do this full time, as for a family that speaks many languages my wife is Russian and she has the ability to speak five languages me I manage two I am very good in broad Yorkshire and have been trying to learn the queens English for around fifty years.

    How do I find such work I do research much of it I spend many hours when not working trawling sites to find different companies and then apply for work I email them every other week asking for work I am flexible I travel all over England and into Europe, I take on some jobs at a loss, to help out companies they then tend to make it up by giving me more work where I can make a profit, I live eat and sleep work for around 8 months a year and then I can spend between 3 and 4 months a year in Russia with my wife visiting our Russian family.

    My advice to anyone who wants to earn the same is do it full time and give the hours that are needed, and the same rewards are available for all who give the same effort, one last thing there are others on here who earn more per hour doing this but work a lot less hours then me.

    Thanks Tigergold & Wathowl. :)

    Well I surpassed my May and very first month ever doing MS by £302. A total of £402 (which doesn't include reimbursements)

    Is there a June thread yet that I may have missed? £400 is my goal for June. I already have £213 of MS jobs booked so far for the months so I think this is very possible.

    Good Luck all for another month.

    thanks
