    It's a complete waste of time done by people who would rather stay at home than actually work for a living.


    So not true...I work on average 50 hours a week and still do clicks...you're sooooooooooooooooooo wrong it's obscene. :D

    Had a read through the thread and it seems like a lot of hard work.

    The other thing that puts me off is having to send a copy of my bank statement and also a copy of my debit card to them, I'm one of those that worries about ID theft and it just seems a bit too risky.

    So any other ideas? I'm already doing surveys, review writing, My Lot, PTC/PTR and cash back shoppings, so anything that doesn't come under them categories I'd love to hear about :D

    i saw the list and brought up fatcheese. it's a cashback site in the sense you buy something and get a discount on it. am i right in thinking this isn't an income?

    Like all the other sites i mentioned there is the option to do 'Daily Clicks' which pay u anything from 1p to 9p for visiting certain sites. There are numerous threads on this forum explaining it in more detail. Doesnt seem much but can make a good few pounds each day which soon mounts up.

    Going on what i said earlier.. £100 a month is £25 a week... 5 or 6 hrs (with tax) at a £5 P/H job (and min wage is just above that) easily done on a friday night in a bar, or on a saturday/sunday job.

    I, like many people here I imagine, am looking for some ways to add to my income, I already work full time and want to be able to stay at home in the evenings and weekend with my family. If I had to pay for a baby-sitter, then there wouldn't be much left after tax etc!
    Proud to be dealing with my debts,

    Everyones situation is different :)
    F'rinstance, your ideal situ would be to find something you can do while at home, and can be dropped and picked up at will, or can be done mainly after the kids are tucked away.
    for a trickle income, 'clicking' and review sites (like slicethepie) might be the way forward.
    If you're adept at some sort of a craft that can be sold thats brilliant!

    And i know this might sound a bit blunt, but EVERYONE would like a job where they could spend all their spare time with their family and friends while making money, but its a rare occurence, if theres something that you can do with your family that will get some extra income, thats a super bonus.
    Im not saying anything silly like 'sacrifice all family life for the sake of earning a few quid' because that would be insane.
    Plus, a few hours on a saturday in a shop, or cleaning or something is better than nothing, and the babysitting cost may be negligent if someone who alredy lives in the house, or a neighbour can look after the kids for a fair but minimal price.
    My point was, that in general, SOME people may spend so much time trying to make money a really silly way round, but if that same time was on a per hour job, it would be more profitable.
    Its the same as my view on people who do crimes for money. so much time and effort goes into it. if that was channeled into something legitimate, it would be better for everyone!
    That being said though, i wouldnt put all my faith in this clicky things, its nice for a few extra quid, but i dont think you could make substantial sustainable amounts with it

    There are lots of full and part-time jobs available with the 2011 census all over Englad and Wales paying decent money. They are recruiting at the moment. I cant post links as Im a new member, but if you google 'Census Jobs' you'll find their site.

    7 posts telling people to google " census jobs " ... wonder who you work for??
