    Well i've done a review of this year's activities and a business plan for 2010. The £24,000 I'm going to earn breaks down like this:-

    Lollypop/School work - £4,800
    Mystery Shopping/Cash back/Surveys/Clicks/Yellow Pages delivery - £1,800
    Cleaning job - £800
    Account's business with current client - £4,800
    Ebay/Amazon - £600
    Tesco points - 30,000 points for £1200.00 of deals (holidays/cinema/meals out)

    The above is what I made this year, so it is easily achievable and worked out at around 28 hours work a week.

    The extra £10,000 is to come from new account's clients. The next step for getting my new clients is to produce a marketing leaflet and drop this through 50 prospects letterboxes during the first week of January 2010.

    Any tips for the leaflet? Maximum impact for minimum cost!

    Thanks.
    I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
  • I have a pdf or word document ( I cant remember) about how to write a good leaflet. I do leaflet distribution and sometimes clients want hints and tips !

    If you PM me your email address, I can forward it to you. If you are uncomfortable with that, I can PM you the main points.

    Good business plan - you cant fail with that level of prep !

    Good Morning KarleyMarie,
    I am registered S/E & do MS'ing, this year I've not done much as I had surgery & took a while to recover.I don't have any entries in my 'wee book' for this period & I never claimed anything towards broadband / house expenses & noted my book to that effect. :A:A:A:A
    When I returned to my own job after sick leave I started MS'ing again.
    Regards
    E
  • Hi All,
    Have been reading through the thread since it began with great interest, I've finally decided that I should join!
    I have started listing on e-bay again recently after about a year off (old stuff I had lying around the house) and have a few books listed on Amazon which have sold recently.
    As per advice given on the thread I have started a spreadsheet to keep tabs on how much I'm making, I'll update my sig as and when the money rolls in!
    Good Luck to all!
