  • Hi Lilacpixie - its obvious your mojo involves weddings here so I am assuming you want to keep with that idea?

    I personally would recommend that for February you concentrate on the easier things Choose 2 hours that you can commit to everyday. It might be 10-12 or 2-4 or 10-midnight, but try and set aside 2 hours. Then from Monday make a list of the bingo sites you want to do. Sign up and get playing. After a few days it will become habit and will no longer be an issue to get round to doing. Same with ebay. Either spend first day photoing items for 2 hours, then divide the total by 4 and spread out the listing of them a few each day. It will all become habit forming after a while.

    Then whilst these things are ticking over and part of your daytime routine, we can start breaking down the other things. The good thing is they all link today so researching/advertising etc.. all seem to be shared.

    I am declaring my first month at £398.91. I'm pleased with this and it has come from selling unwanted bits and pieces, free bingo wins, small premium bond win, ome cashback, small bonus from work.


    Lilacpixie, re the blogging I would concentrate on minimal words and more pictures if you're not sure what to write. Content is content and the more you update, the better stats you will have etc.

    Can anybody help me with focus. I NEED to do something but not a clue what, I have abut 20 things on the go and nothing is doing well. I seem to have drive but it is diluted over about 8 different things.

    Right I have the following:
    • supply a wedding dress shop with tiaras/hairpins and have my business cards in there
    • Website that does the same but v little custom so i took it down. Have mega trouble with pictures.
    • Blog for wedding jewellery keep forgetting to update because not sure what to actually say
    • Blog that I post recepies i have created on (possible money maker??)
    • A heap of stuff for ebay but no motivation to list
    • keep threatening to look at the bingo sites but never have time
    Anyone help??


    forget the bingo just now the others are long term money making businesses not a flash in the pan with £20 now and again.
    get a timetable together nothing too unrealistic say 45 mins per project per week each for the next fortnight. its like everything else the biggest hurdle is getting started.
    1) its sunday get 45 mins on ebay TONIGHT not tomorrow, nor the next day. even if you only list 6 items.
    2) Monday;-get into the wedding shop tomorrow or you will miss the summer/autumn brides, think how good you'll feel when you sell the first one or get the first phonecall.
    3)Tuesday:-once you've visited the wedding shop then you'll have something to write on your blog,
    4)you can have wednesday off! and tell us what you have been doing
    5)Thursday - try and sort out your website - cant help there as i'm useless at that sort of thing
    6)Friday Look at your recipe blog - valentines day coming up - play on that or pancake day/mothers day
    Weekend - you can then spend time on here telling us how much you have achieved or made.

    okay sorted!

    Thanks to MMTWGR and Saucy.

    Problem with pictures is I am crap at taking them. I have a decent camera but very little technical ability KWIM. I think i will try just a point ant shoot camera as i get better pictures with my phone. I started making jewellery to improve my manual dexterity, would love to expand into a decent website and probably start doing fairs. I am vista printed out with business cards and postcards. Recepies I enjoy doing.

    I want to look at matched betting and definatly BB. I like the sound of comping just for a change. I am signed up for various survey sites but seem to always forget to do them.

    Right what can I do to help others??

  • Oh My Gosh! I feel like i've missed out on loads being all poorly and working all weekend. My head hurts even more now trying to catch up!!
    My 'lovely' son decided to wake me up at 4:49 this morning :eek: I only got in at half 3 so i'm more than a little bit cranky today and i've got work again in an hour and a half :( I sooooo need a day job, you know, like regular people.

    Too tired to really concentrate so i'm going to formulate a master plan for tomorrow instead, when i'll probably still not be able to concentrate :rotfl:

  • Talking of weddings...how did people hear choose their wedding stationery? Did you go for elegant, or cute, or was it something specific? I'm designing a range at the moment and I'd appreciate input!
