  • Hi nice to see everyone getting back into things. I havent made any money over christmas but I also havent went over board with spending either. Ebay here I come. x
  • Well £17.23 so far from amazon and £1 from a lottery card my mum sent me. Two more books sold on Amazon last night and over £15 bid on my ebay listings. I'm looking for £50 this week!!

    How's every one else doing?

  • Well with a combination of Ebay profits, amazon, quidco and other little things I've now made £50.46:T
    I have more stuff for ebay, going to list them tonight. The kids are having a clothes sort out also today so I could have more listing things later.

  • Thought I'd better give an update. It seems to have gone a bit quite in here.

    Sold my first few bits on eBay so the total so far is £19.22.

    I'm also doing my daily clicks on PigsBack and Cash Back rewards which is a new one on me but the daily clicks are starting to add up now. If you missed it there is a link to the site and info here:

    I am in on this too - I did the 'Make Money From Nothing Challenge' in October-December and made a fair bit.

    However, now I have invested £10 from that into the new 'Make Money From Anything Challenge' and am going to include things like interest, Quidco payments, extra savings I can skim from account into savings, savings on shopping and of course Amazon and Ebay.


    Effectively, it is still 'money from nothing' as I will deduct ebay and Amazon fees as I go, plus of course the cost of buying anything.

  • Hi EagerLearner and Drunken Butterfly

    My total so far is £169.41. This is mainly from ebay/amazon selling with £32.20 from daily click money on cashback sites. Its amazing how quick this builds up.

    Hi Pink Fairy - how do you rack up so much on click sites? I mean, I use Quidco and Pigsback - so do you mean you have earned £32.20 total from those 2 sites just from January? I want to make more money this year - I have to as we're saving up to either buy a place, or to have Mr EL become an electrician and be self-employed...

  • Hi EagerLearner

    The daily clicks do add up. I joined Cashback Rewards on the 6th Jan and already have 10.76 tracking :) You get £5 for signing up at the moment which is a good start and if you refer someone you get a bonus when they get a pay out too :)

    Details from my previous post - click on the link to read about it :)

    Pigsback is good too. You get points for clicking on sponsors links or signing up for offers - I've got nearly £10 in that too and I didn't open my pigsback account long ago either (just before Christmas I think).

    Cashback reward pays out cash and pigsback pays out in vouchers but there are plenty to pick from.

    Obviously you can also get cashback and points from buying things through these sites too.

    I'm sure that pink fairy will be along soon with more info too :)
