Make £10 per day in August ~ALL WELCOME!~

sweetpeas_2

Hello to all newbies & regulars and welcome to another £10 a day challenge. :hello:

This challenge first started in September 2007, so this will be the 35th Month this challenge has been going. So thanks Batgirl for starting it and JesaRose, PurpleRoses, MizMir and Aureol, who also keep the thread going. :j

I know this first post is long, but please read it as it gives tips and info on how this challenge works!

If you're new to the challenge don't be scared - here's how it works:

The aim of this challenge is to make £10 extra a day everyday for the month. A lot of people think this is impossible but it can and has been done (and in some cases some show offs have even doubled or tripled the monthly challenge).

If you feel £10 is too much why not start at £5 or if you're brave join those who aim for £20 a day! Anything extra you make is great so set whatever target you think you can manage.

The idea is that everyone posts how they are making extra money or saving money and these shared ideas help all of us to learn new ways to help cut debt or earn/save money.

What cannot be added: wages from your main job
What can: overtime at work, income from a 2nd job, savings in shopping, daily clicks, sales, interest, vouchers, mystery shopping...the list is endless.

Feel free to add any extra money earned (above normal wages) or any money you saved when out shopping. For daily clicks and sites like quidco it's upto you when you add the money earnt there. Some add it when an amount tracks others when it's paid out - it's your challenge so it is upto you what you want to count and when you want to count it.

This board moves so fast so here's some ideas for people to make money. (click the links for some shortcuts to threads on each subject):

Amazon.co.uk, play.com, Green Metropolis - sell your old books/DVDs/CDs/games here. (Green met is for books only)

Ebay - a place to sell anything and everything. There is a whole board about ebay which gives you ideas, hints and tips about selling

Survey sites - I've found lightspeed and p!nec0ne to be the best (p!nec0ne is hard to find but well worth trying to find it!) but there are many more it really depends on you finding the ones that work best for you - toluna, ciao, harris poll, valuedopinions etc etc

Daily clicks - go to EagerLearners thread on this board and ask for her guide. Last I checked it could get you £3 per day. Although clicks take time to add up its worth it in the end if you have the time to spare.

Mystery shopping - Get paid to be a mystery shopper!

Up your income board - full of great ideas!

Free Daily Scratchcards - a few of the b!ngo sites let you play one of their scratch cards each day for nothing (twice on Sundays).

Everyone is welcome - just post your target, update your signature and get going. If you have any questions just ask here and someone will help.

Challenge starts August 1st - £10 a day this month will be £310...

Good luck all...

debtbegone

Hello :wave:

I'm back in for £10 a day this month. Need a kick to get me motivated to get on with listing on ebay and amazon, and finding any extra dosh I can really!

Will be my birthday at the start of August, so hoping for a few wee "treat" things that should help stop me from spending my profits on anything but the debt

WelshWoofer

Right, I really didn't do very well in July due to holidays, a broken fridge, a broken boiler and not getting paid at all (I knew this would be the case and hopefully will have a decent payday in August).

So August needs to be different!
I know I won't make £10 a day as I only count actual money made not savings so I'll set a target of £100 and see how close I get.
I'm on holidays from school and only have 4 days away later in the month so I should be able to get at least something accomplished!

Good luck to everyone else.

archersluck

I've had a few months off but I'm back home for the rest of summer, have done some travelling and the bank account is bare! No jobs to be found so far but have just moved house so doing a lot of sorting out which should give me stuff to sell. £5 a day for me please :j

Purpleroses

woo new thread! Thanks for starting it sweet!

larlie1983

Please can you put me down for £10 a day Sweetpeas. I think i'm going to struggle for the next few months to hit the target because we're getting a puppy in August so wont be working as much OT in my normal job. I'll have to hope Ebay takes off again!

ilovetea

Hello.
Can you put me down for £10 a day again please. Did well this month so I'm going to have another go in August,

Thanks, ilovetea x

Amara

I'm in! This time £10 per day. I'm very happy with my results from July, so I'm confident for a challenge

froddington

I'm in again for my usual £5 a day.

Thanks for the thread sweetpeas x

LadyfromVenice

Yay, got on first page!

Not very successful last month. Must try harder.

Can you put me down for £5 a month again please. Thanks very much for the thread.
