Oops i've had too much time on my hands with being off work. I've bought 2 web domains -both com and co.uk and ordered business cards and set up a new email account. Haven't even registered the business yet. That's my number one job for tomorrow. Today's proved pretty expensive - i hope it pays off this time. I've got a good feeling about it - but always do have a good feeling about new ventures until i mention them to OH/Mum and then i write them off. I don't know whether i'm 'brave and ambitious' or 'deluded and idiotic' lol. I'll stick with the former for now!

I did that a couple of months ago (bought 2 web domains) in preparation for a business we're starting in April (it's leisure-based so will be busiest at weekends so we'll run it alongside both our current jobs for as long as we can.) We've not discussed our plans with either sets of parents or my workmates because they will be negative/worried for us. I haven't read back what your business idea is but, provided you don't stand to lose lots of money I say go for it, life's too short not to give it a try!

We're spending our time until April buying the equipment we need as and when we can and brushing up on the extra skills we'll need (it's loosely allied to what I do now and something OH knows lots about but we still need to gain some new skills.) I think I may add any profit we make while this is still our second income towards my £11,000 as otherwise I won't have a hope in hell of hitting it!

mystery shop for £10 lined up for tomorrow

Can i ask if any of you are using Pay Per Click sites to raise extra cash? I used to make quite a bit out of using them a few years back but stopped using them when the payout started getting so poor.

If you do, which are the best ones in way of amount of clicks and reliability/payout?

Hello!

I was going to ebay today but im leaving it to the weekend now to take full advantage of the free listing weekend i did sell a doll last night so thats another £12 for the total.

Plans for today:

- check out topcashback (getting fed up with quidco!)
- costabingo
- scout for change (even if its only a penny i find!)
- sort out more dvds to exchange for cash
- Aim for NSD with the exception of posting some parcels
- and save,save,save!

I know it's a bit late but I'm going to join in on this!

Got a few bits listed on eBay with bids roughly equalling £100 and made a few bits on surveys yesterday.

Aim is to save as much as possible this year on top of my usual income.

Morning all,

really glad to see everyone is getting on so well with their money making i have a few MS jobs lined up so that will be another £20 for me and the free listing weekend is much appreciated i have loads to list so will be downloading turbolister and trying to build them all up ready to go.

I also emailed a study on british accents on a whim even though it was an out of date flyer and they are still looking for participants so thats another £15 to add.

Then its all the books on green metropolis and hope i finish reading them before they sell:rotfl:

summertea you cant usually use turbolister to take advantage of the free listing double check but that is usually the case you have to list directly through ebay if you see what i mean

** does anyone know that if you schedule your listings to start on a free listing weekend,do you still have to pay the full listing fee or will it be free? iyswim ** i dont want to miss the free listings but i think im going to be too busy this weekend to do it.


edit - doh! i dont think i can do it.

free listing info here: http://www2.ebay.com/aw/uk/201101.shtml#2011-01-06105846

Summertea,it states that you cant use the turbo lister

It says on the site that it has to be listed directly through eBay and Turbolister cant be used! I've got loads to put on so a free weekend is perfect for me.....time for a clear out to add to the pot!
