MARCH Make £10 A Day Challenge ~*~ All Welcome ~*~

Purpleroses

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

This challenge first started in September 2007, so this will be the 41st Month this challenge has been going. So thanks Batgirl for starting it and Aesop, JesaRose, Sweetpeas and MizMir,who also keep the thread going.

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 now called my survey 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 £1.50 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!

Sealed Pot Challenge 2011 - basically you put your change into a jar over the year so in December you should have a nice pot of money to help

Mobile phone to recycle? try Martin's mobile recycling comparison site first to see where you may get the best deal!

Music Magpie - have cds/dvds you haven't been able to sell at carboots or online. Try your luck here. Is you do sell your albums/dvds be sure to go via quidco to get a few more pennies

etsy and folksy - If you enjoy making crafts why not have a go at selling them on etsy or folksy. They've been getting increasingly busier each year.

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 March 1st - £10 a day this month will be £310...

Good luck all

Sign me up for March - a pants Feb but lots in the pipeline / paying out hopefully for March (when it is very much needed!!) as beg of April we want to buy a car as have been without since 1st Dec (when baby was 1wk old and we were knee deep in snow- long story!!).
£10 a day will be my target! Thanks for running it again

So Feb was absolutely pants, given I made NO effort at all - I'm declaring about £10 odd for Feb (and I thought with 28 days it might be a little easier!) :rotfl:

So rock on March!
I will continue aiming for £10 a day, but this time I will be putting a little bit of welly into it

Given my Dec and Jan totals, I do believe if I put the effort in I am more than capable of bringing in extra money, and even if I don't make the target, some money is better than none

Off to upload some stuff to ebay

Good luck for March everyone :heart2:

Don't think I'll do quite as well as last month, but I've been mystery shopping like crazy and have taken loads of photos of items to ebay.

Purpleroses
