I have made my first £1 on quidco (in fact £1.25) - purely from nothing!
I have a website, I might look into doing a blog on it....maybe some referrals or something like that???:think:
What is your website, as I could start you off...:cool:
ps, found out what Quidco was....Had to pull out of the "Money for Nothing Challenge" workload has just proved to much...0 -

So to be clear, I have to make £1 from nothing??
And if i am right in thinking then, if i sell on ebay, then whatever profit I might of course exclude listings and sellers fees..?
I guess there is always my flatmate.... um what can i sell.
I think later next week baking cakes might well be on the agenda!
Yeah, you need to start off with at least a pound. Anything you sell on Ebay needs to be something that didn't cost you a penny and you would have to deduct fees etc from your profit
Welcome to the challenge by the way :j0 -
Right - well I went off to start looking in to matched betting about 3 hours ago and since then another 2 pgs have grown and everyone seems as positive as I do!!
I didn't actually look at matched betting - but I have been v. v. busy:
I put trainers on ebay, ordered 15 x free SIMS to sell on e-bay, used £2.50 tesco clubcard voucher to get £10 black country museum voucher to sell and did todays Pigsback links (my current account balance is £4.90)

Am I the only one still up? - well falling asleep at screen!! I put about trainers that I'd listed on e-bay in my last bit but I can't count them coz I bought them so scratch that.
BUT - I won 2 tickets to the Horse of the Year Show through a newspaper competition and I looked on e-bay and they're selling for £40-£50 - even though I would love to go and have booked the time off work, it would be a lovely kick start to this challenge, wouldn't it?
Anyway, night night all,

That would be a great start but if you were really looking forward to it then is it worth the sacrifice?0 -
Morning.
I don't know, I suppose it's a free 50 squid and I really want £1024 more than I want to go. Horse of the Year Show happens every year whereas my interest gets added daily so am going to be cold hearted and ruthless and not let my self go.
Have a great day everyone!!
