Thrifty Gifty - Money Making for Christmas & All Ocassions 2009

focus888

Good Morning all, so many new helpful posts, thanks for sharing. So far ive signed up for afew news things like one poll and toluna but they seem like they take alot of time to get to the redeem part i know this is free so its not wasting time but i think im going to still to bingoport for now because ive been doing stuff where you dont see anything and it doesnt really keep you motivated for long. if i actually saw what i was earning it would really make my day

I had been following the old thread on and off for ages as a lurker. Can I join you all here? I have been doing lots of moneymaking bits for christmas including lightspeed, bingoport and dooyoo. by far the best has been dooyoo, I have had £50 in amazon vouchers from them in the last 6 weeks.

I hope to get lots of inspiring ideas from you all

wow mum2one, no need for apologise, that post was FAB!!!!

with bingoport allowing same households multiple accounts, its a recent change, heres what the faq's say on the site

Q.What if there is more than one person that plays at Bingoport.co.uk in my household
A. With the increased accessibility of BingoPort.co.uk for members it is now possible for households with multiple family members to all set up their own BingoPort accounts. For this to be possible, each member who sets up their account must verify their mobile and e-mail address to allow other members in your household to register. If your details are not confirmed, other members within your house will be faced with the standard user access restrictions.

Hi Emmy, I personally dont use a spreadsheet but probably should. I have a little pad, in the back I make a note of presents bought & for how much. In the front I have a list of all survey accounts, clubcards etc I have & the monthly totals, & redemptions.
Normally on a monthly basis I work everything out, see the totals & see what needs inmprovements
Never too late to start, just take a note of what you can remember, or even start afresh from today

Jump in Lunar, the more the merrier - I havent heard of Dooyoo, care to share?

Can I add to mum2ones ebay tips, make sure your photos are clear, & be careful whats in the background.
People want to SEE what they are buying so are more likely to buy it from a clear photo than an out of focus/badly angled etc photo. Multiple photos are fab for this as well, especially if theres a small dent/scratch/stain etc on the item - no fear of them coming back moaning about it then, & using html you can list multiple photos for free.
As for the background, if it looks messy/dirty people will judge you on this thinking you dont take care of things. give the surface a quick wipe over so its free from fluff, or do as I do, place a piece of material under & behind the item whenever possible.

Its a review site and you get points for writing reviews. its 50p per review over 150 words, then you get 1.5p every time a member reads your reviews. Its brilliant once you get established. I woke up this morning to an extra 30p! If you write a really good review you can get a crown for it worth £1.50, ive had 3 so far. you also get points for referals and there are competitions too.

The address is www.dooyoo.co.uk

I should have added, you can review almost anything, and the payout level is £50 for cash or £20 for amazon vouchers.

Blimey, away for a day or so and new threads have appeared and loads of posts already!!!

I am not so good on the saving for Xmas but trying hard. So far I have:
Valued Opinions: £10 Amazon voucher and £9.50 towards next one
Boots points: about £8 I think?
Pinecone: £16 luncheon vouchers (will use in supermarket towards gifts/food for Xmas)
We also have a sealed pot and I am planning on doing a couple of craft fairs in the run up to Xmas to make some funds. I do ebay stuff but have been a bit rubbish at this recently, must try harder!
