    I do think that this work must only be thought of as a hobby with a perk which is a little bit of pocket money and cant be relied on as a main income

    You can make as much out of it as you want to, but if you want to have it as a full time income, you may need to diversify a bit and do some Merchandising and compliance auditing,

    I started off 12 years ago doing it part time for an extra bit of money with a few perks ( the fees were a lot higher then with no FFF allocations) and progressed to full time in 2004, I am now at the stage where I have to turn work down as I just can't fit it all in.

    At some point, I really want to start video m/sing, I have done 2 before and loved it, but maybe I should leave that until at least 1 child has left school. ;)

    If you just want to do it as a hobby, enjoy it.

    Anybody else doing the posh healthclub for Tern ? It's my first time in a health club and I am loving this assignment. Hopefully when it comes to cancelling the membership I would not be addicted.

    It is nice to hear of one going well, I did one for RE which was pants, they kept coming up with excuses why I couldn't have my induction, it dragged on for so long, it took me over the allocated time and I had it cancelled on me, I did get paid, but never got to use the gym or facilities ( apart from the swimming pool) :( enjoy yours while it lasts. :)

    Hi,

    I have an excellent income from this industry full time. I do admit though that it has taken a long time to get to this position.

    Then I take it all back, what sort of income do you think can be achieved and how long would you say it takes to get to that point. I would love to know how you did it and take some tips. :beer:

    Completed three nice Helion visits today.

    The fourth was more of a problem. The site was meant to be a Mall kiosk. I had seen it on a previous visit to the shopping arcade, but today there was nothing there. I've taken photos of where it used to/should have been. I've emailed Max.

    What do you reckon will become of this one?

    I can't help but can you let me know the outcome?

    One of mine is also a kiosk in a Mall. I'm hoping to go do them today but can see this one being a problem one.

    I'm down for Q3, so i'm looking forward to that. I'm glad you've got no problems with yours too as some people were apparently having a few problems with Tern over the reports and refunds, so I was starting to get a little worried.

    I had a closed shop and spoke to Max about it yesterday. He said that he will have to confirm with the client about closed locations and will then let me know, but it will probably be a half fee. HTH

    Yet to be reimbursed since I only started start of this month. But from experience Tern are good in payments. But the assignment itslf has gone pretty smoothly so far with proper personalised exercise regime and tennis coaching. I am loving this one.
