    They are all online surveys. Once you have completed one, they then send you a £3 set of luncheon vouchers in the post as payment
    I only get around 8 surveys per year so it's not a big earner. If you happened to be a less popular demographic(maybe a young man?) you would probably get more.
    They do not take up much time though and pay promptly so I think it's worth it. Haven't had a referal email yet but if I do I will let you all know;)


    You can change it to get paid via Paypal aswell normally takes 2-3days to come through, i think you have to have luncheon vouchers for your first payment though, at least i think i did, i only ever had them once so i forgot about that.

    Hello everyone - havent been on here for ages :(

    Lost my motivation at first (havent even looked and thanked anyone who replied, sorry) and since last sunday have been funeral arranging, bank/finance sorting and POA sorting so have had to put everything on hold...., my whole life!!

    Have sold two more book on greenmetropolis, so not completely stopped at least! But now having to pay out for funeral when we already live in our overdraft in current account and my student account is very difficult, however i'm thinking oh 'uck it and i'm taking my OH away for a weekend to get away from it all! Too stressed to worry about it.

    Many motivating and 'bum in gear' thoughts being sent to everyone. xxx :beer:

    I have to say I agree with Bing0.

    I was one of the first who signed up to this challenge and I think it started well, however, although I am still doing the challenge, I have almost entirely stopped visiting this thread as I cannot read it fast enough.

    I agree that there is too much chat - there should be an ideas thread and a chat thread. And for those who say that lots of ideas come from the chat, then it will just have to be that those who choose not to read the chat end up missing out on the ideas!

    I just think it is a shame that the thread seems to have been taken over with chat and people are dropping off...

    :eek: getting ready to be slated now....!

    How many ideas do you expect us to come up with, though? I'm not an idea machine! It's a slow time for selling, we're all trying but let's be fair, some of us have a lot going on in our lives and can't drop everything else to be buying and selling. The friendliness on this thread is a BIG motivation for me, and hearing how other people are getting on with their bits and pieces DOES give me ideas, what do you expect us all to be, like robots, spewing forth links to websites every few days or so? There's a group on Ning for people to swap and discuss tasks, there are people popping on and asking random questions, the answers to which may help other people too, it's all good, let's enjoy it :D slated lol :rotfl:

  • We've been through all this before though ...

    Okay, what about we split into two camps - the grafters and the chatters? I'm firmly in the latter camp, that doesn't mean I'm not committed to the challenge, just that it's the approach that works for me. Hopefully there will be enough of us in each group. I personally don't have the time or inclination to read both threads, but that's the best compromise I can suggest.

    I have been following this thread from the beginning and have posted a few times, I love this thread and all the chit chat, why do people need to be told what they can and cant talk about, there's no law saying that you have to read every single page of the thread, if you cant keep up then just dont read all of it! I have always had a right giggle with the various chat topics and would miss them if they weren't there.
    We are all in the same boat with wanting to make some extra cash, this is our way of getting idea's to help our dreams become reality, just because there is banter on this thread doesnt mean we arent taking it seriously. Just relax and let the thread flow, blimey it's only a website!!

  • I think it's bit silly people complaining about the chat, it just causes pages of chat about the chat, it's a bit of a vicious circle.

    I do appreciate that maybe some people don't want to know about peoples highs and lows, their motivation levels, whips and smelly socks BUT I do think they are in the minority. By all means if you don't like the chat, skim it, share your ideas/totals/whatever it is you want to do, maybe stick around for a bit of feedback and carry on, regardless of the inconveinient and irrelevant chat/vents/kidnap plots that happens to be getting some people (who may well need this more than you) through the challenge. It does not, by any means, suggest people are any less serious about doing this.

    Forums are supposed to be about support and sharing things, theres no need to turn it into a battleground. If you don't like it, don't look - simples.

    Oooh forgot to say, I FINALLY got some money out of BB, will add it once it has hit my account :D
