New and Eager

PurpleSmile

Hi there,
I am new here. I currently have a debt of £940. Which although it sounds like a lot, it is actually low considering recent situations. I have been ill and unable to work for 5 months. With all my outgoings etc, I am happy it is not higher.

Anyway I am on a job hunt. I have a good education and am fairly confident something will pop along within the next 2-3weeks.

But I am going to have to earn extra money to pay of my debt.
I heard about Daily clicks on cash back websites. Even if it is only a couple of pound a day that will all help. Does anyone else do this? I found a good link on google with lists of cashback websites and their daily clicks. It says you can make around £100 per month.

I have all the time in the world. So I think this will be able to help me.

Also I have heard of dooyoo. But you need £50 before you cash out. Which would be 10 days at 10 reviews per day.

Any advice anyone?

I would recommend using Topcashback for daily clicks and online cashback. No annual fee or minimum withdrawal amount

For your debt, i suggest start affiliate marketing program and also blog marketing activity at home. So, your debt is almost cover.

Thanks,
Morris

If you're a dooyoo newbie they only allow a maximum of 5 reviews per day for the first 30 days. Although you do get 1.5p for each person that reads your review.

1.5p for each person that reads your review?
Is it for each person that is a member that reads the review, or just any person on the net in general

ARRRGGHH
I sound so pathetic.
Applying for jobs this week, and I know its normal not to hear anything back straight away, as a lot of them have closing dates next week. I just feel really depressed with this debt hanging over me. and I'm never sad

Hey Purple Smile!
Welcome to MSE.
First off - it's natural to feel sad/frustrated when you are in debt, but being here is a great step towards paying it off and becoming money-savvy so you don't get in debt (or rather, in unmanageable debt) in the future. Also, hugs. :beer:

Second - the options for boosting your income straight away:
Market research - there are sites like Opinion Bar (which I can't advise on, as don't use), OnePoll, YouGov, Lightspeed and probably many others (check out this forum!) which will net you a few pounds a day by doing surveys. Try to get invited to Pinecone (people here who are members will periodically post that they can invite new members, so pm and grab an invite).

Reviewing on Dooyoo - you have to be dedicated, and if you want to make it a rewarding experience, don't just write the min number of words to get the 50p. You'll get there faster than you think! Good reviews = more reads = more lots of 1.5p for you!

Mystery Shopping - grassroots is good, as is retail eyes. Make sure you are getting enough in fees to cover transport etc, and hopefully you might get a free meal/snadwich/coffee along the way too. Plus, it's really good fun! You need to sign up to a few to get assignments - there are loads of other people looking for assignments, don't forget!

I don't know how daily clicks work, but they seem popular.

You could think about your skills and what you could make from them. Are you a good writer? Can you find somewhere to get paid a small amount to write? Some guides (esp online) will pay for people to constantly update their info.
Can you make something that can be sold - crafty types can use Etsy.com, or of course Ebay. Are you good at web-stuff? There's usually a way to freelance and make cash out of being techie.
Car-boot sale? Ebay unwanted stuff?

As for work - I feel your pain. Took me four months to find a job! Sign up with ALL the temping agencies, and call them (politely) at least twice a week. If you can find out when their new assignments generally get processed, call that morning as they open.

Sign up to all the online job sites - totaljobs, monster, gumtree etc.

Read a book on how to make your cv stand out. I thought mine was kick-!!! until I read the book. Then I re-jinked it totally, and got a job. This is SOOOOO important. Your cv is one of hundreds. You can't put it on neon paper (or they will think you are a teensy bit odd...), so you have to do the equivalent of neon paper by tailoring EVERY cv to the job description. Cut out jobs that don't show your ability to do the job you're applying for, if poss. Put crucial info down the left hand side (the eye naturally scans this side) and stuff you'd rather not highlight on the right. List the key skills/achievements for each job - as they relate to the job you're applying for.

Anyway, HTH, keep your chin up, and remember it's nearly summer! Summer is cheap - parks are free, heating is less necessary, and clothes costs less. Well at least the first two...

Daily clicks on cash back websites do work, but I'm not sure about the 100$/month thing. With these you can hardly make few pounds here and there. Try some long term kind of job, that will definitely help you clear the debts.

Cheers Jojo!!

Thanks for advice goes. I'll be making extra money in no time. Plus a job will pop along soon.

I have just been paid for my first job on peopleperhour.
I got £30, it just involved moving data over from one source to another.
I did 6 hours. I only got £5 per hour. Which is below minimun wage. But every little helps. Woop!!
