    Not been online much this last week or so, been doing promo work on top of my own full time job...

    Challenge wise March has been my best month yet, £589.82 :j

    Bumper month on eBay, promo work started paying up, lots of coupons used, vouchers received from survey sites, free credit from Orange for my anniversary with them, still doing great on Superpoints and got my head around Swagbucks amongst other bits and bobs coming in!

    One happy me! Sending a PM to Mennie with my total! :D

    hi guys,

    trying to earn some extra cash for when my house sale completes, coz need as much as possible to spend refurbishing it

    what are you guys generally selling on eBay? stuff you've already got or are you buying stuff to sell on for a profit?

    what do you think the most profitable survey sites are, in terms of how much time you have to spend on them to get the money

    i signed up to swagbucks but it doesn't look that good so far - you need 700 points to get $5 paypal payment. which is prob about £2 after the paypal fee and conversion. I've only got 77 points in 2 days. is it really as bad as it seems?

    thanks

    I use ebay for alot of old dvd's and clothes and gadgets, also use the local fb pages to sell stuff. Zapper is good for any books/ dvds that you cant sell elsewhere however you will get a much lower price for them. i also use quidco for everything and have starting using superpoints and found it very quick and easy. hope any of this helps!

    $5 is £3-07 on Superpoints for only 500 points

    swagbucks have got promotion running called march swagness, reach that days target and you get bonus bucks when it finishes. It is a site you have to keep on using and using to get the points on, a bit time consuming

    i have joined superpoints, it does seem better than swag bucks to me

    how do people get people to join up using their referral?

    literally just posting it on your facebook page and on this site?

    what happens if you get 2+ friends to sign up but they don't use the site? i take it if you can get them to sign up to be the basic member you'll move up a level, even if they never actually use the site

    I found Superpoints better than Swagbucks but after spending a bit of time looking round Swagbucks I would say they are both equally as lucrative. I am cashing out on Superpoints every 5 days and Swagbucks every 7. Swagbucks has more earning opportunities, many of the videos can be watch over and over - I just run them in the background whilst getting on with work or other things.

    On Superpoints at first in order to get to Gold Status I had my dad and sister sign up to basic level, they've not used their account since!

    Noticed your comments re eBay, I sell stuff I have but also asked friends and family to pass unwanted stuff to me rather than a charity shop, I sell what I can and send the rest to charity. Any CDs and DVDs that dont sell I get rid off on Music Magpie albeit for pennies but it all adds up.

    Good luck!

    hmm swagbucks doesn't seem worth it to me personally. it takes 3-5 mins to go through the tv meter to 100% to get 3 points. I've started it so i'll get to my first 700 points but it looks like there's more lucrative ways to spend my time!!

    got my first 'friend' on superpoints though, so if i can get other people to sign up and use it then that'd be good :)

    My March total is £213.83 so this hasn't been the best month for me although I have been busy with family things. Must try harder in April!
