Lovely news mum2three, evens it up nicely for you. Was going to say when you mentioned about eggs, that's all i could eat for the 1st 3 months with tabi and she was girl. Guess each pregnancy is different though.

Thanks Claros I got chosen for both the trials as well.

Elysia you are right, I do concentrate more on sw*g than the others, find it quite addictive and it's v easy to do little bits around the baby. I guess you get out what you put in.

Only two more to go - then you can have 3 girls and 3 boys like me!

Afternoon everyone.

Sorry I wasn't on earlier today. I did my volunteering this morning for the first time in weeks. I was there all the time DS2 was at nursery, so I have not had chance to do a lot today.

I see people wonder about the points, Elysia has tried to explain. I am working at money earning probably 12 hours per day every day, as I have no other income. So yes, part of my success is that I have got a few people referred to sites, but most of my fortune is down to hard work. No secret.

superpoints I have 10 referrals, but out of those, only 3 spin every day like me. I am lucky in the respect that those 3 referrals have also gone on and got lots of referrals as well, so I have 100 spins per day, and each of them also have 100, so we have a bit of extra chance of luck, but most of it is what the wheel spins. All I need is for each of my 10 people to get say 10 points a day, and I would have 100 points a day just from that, then I get my own too. There is no secret, it is just going on the site every day.

swagbucks, I make sure I try and get all the available codes, use the toolbar, do my daily searches, and do some videos and games. I have not referred anyone in ages, so I am not redeeming as much on there, but it is still at least monthly.

I could say the same about toluna. some people redeem there monthly. That is one site I can not be faffed with and I have not redeemed there since April. It's all about getting out what you put in. In an ideal world I would get something from every site, but I don't have enough time or energy, so I direct my time to where I think I will get most return from it.

Today is last day before payday on Cha so today's focus for me is doing what I can on there to up my pay, and try and get a new review on dy. Last weeks product suggestions are now all on, but I have not got round to adding anything yet, so I will try to do that too tonight.

Twelve hours a day! I don't have enough hours in the day at the moment without spending that long on surveys. I take it - that is what we are talking about. Thank goodness for my pension - getting to 60 has some perks.

Trying to make 100 points a day on sb, thanks boatgirl for the tip about games but it doesnt seem to add any points to my account?

I'm getting points after I've played 2 games and clicked on the back to the game details button.

Is there an idiots guide/best practice advice somewhere that I'm missing that isn't full of chat and just a Best sites, do this, do that type of thing

I have been watching lots of Sw*gb*cks TV but the meter isn't going up , am I doing something really stupid??

The best place to start is the first few posts on this thread. Elysia has written a few sentences explaining what you can do on the different sites to earn money/vouchers.

You need to let each clip on SB TV play for at least 30 seconds for the meter to go up.

Thanks Boatgirl, Rufus, Elysia & Cha97michelle for taking the time to reply to my suggestion about SB & SP. I hope my post didn't upset/annoy anyone I wasn't having a go its just that they are sites out there where it's more about luck or how many referrals you have as opposed to how much effort you put in i.e. bingo sites. I was just curious how members who are getting 100+ per day on SB i.e. what are they doing and how often. On a bad day I only get 3 points on SB, on a good day 25 points. I'm not getting the same amount of videos to watch on SB as the majority of members on here which is probably due to region. I'm lucky if I get one search win every couple of days and its not due to lack of effort.

The last person paid me today for my ebay items, posted all the others yesterday so I managed to make £53.45 profit,not bad from items I have had sitting around for ages. Still have lots left to list as well.
Went to Boots and they didnt even have one sale item left, oh well

Thanks Nicky. I'll head there now.

Michelle - Thanks for helping me to explain. I've been honest all along, You DO need referrals, but you've also got to work at it.

Florence - wow 6 kids. I'd have loved more (two girls) but it just didn't happen that way. Well done on your ebay sales. You said you were buying a train ticket earlier - where are you going nice?

Restricted - I'll have shiny teeth too. Mine came yesterday . I'm so sad - I love doing product tests. OH think it's funny - he says we're the only people who have our shopping dleivered by Royal Mail. :rotfl:

Kay - well done on the swag redeem. Woohoo. Not bad for three weeks. It usually takes me a month. Well done.

Nicola00 - Don't worry about all those other sites and threads. Just stick with us. All the info you could need is in the first four or five posts. We even have a monthly challenge to keep you motivated.

Seriously, Popping here there and everywhere is probably just wasting your time going backwards and forwards. We do most things and there is no quick and easy formulae to making money, it's just hard work and determination. If you don't get any surveys some days, go and see if you can find any, join another site, or do something else that can earn you some money.

Please take your time to read the first posts like I said, and join up to some more sites (if there's any you're not on), and keep coming back here to let us know how you're getting on.

Joe - Thanks for sharing the bargains. No Clintons near me sadly. How have you been Joe? Are you still managing on the review sites?

Purple - well done on your bargains, and well done on managing to get out and about. That's good news about your job. I'm glad you're not rushing into going back full time. It sounds like you'll be much better off when you're back and work so I'm so pleased for you. I'm glad you're feeling better.

Sorry if I've missed anyone - trying to post this, do swag and help DD do her homework at the same time.

Aspella - Don't worry hun. We knew what you meant. I'm exactly the same as you. I redeem once a month on SB usuallly. I'm lucky if I get two lots of points from searches too, but I use twitter to get the codes, and watch the TV and games to make the points mount up.

With Super P0ints - the wheel is like bingo like you said - it's down to luck, but there are other ways to boost your points, so it's worth investing some time to do those too. There's no trick to it, and no tips I can give, other than I have already. If I could, I would.


CandyBlue - Well done on completing your challenge. :T:T:T Three cheers to you. Hii Hip Hooray. As you have more to list - how about another challenge? See if you can make another £25. Come on, I know YOU CAN do it.

Well done everyone - wooo you're all inspiring me. Thanks. x

Question about maxi!! Do points from surveys go on straight away? Or in a few days??

emmad5689

Evening all, been run ragged at work today so completely knackered and am back for 8am tomoro too

Am determined to write some new reviews this weekend as I am going to run out of things to copy over shortly! also must do my suggestions before sunday.

Whoever it was asking sorry can't remember - sp I have been going 3 weeks, I have 6 friends but not all are active, I do my 100 spins every day and watch any videos I can and I am at 635 points but 150 points were from referrals so I am reckoning on redeeming once every 2 months. SB I have just redeemed and am back up to 167 points in 2 days however I keep going back to the search bar and put in radom searches until I get some points, I watch all the videos, do the quick polls and noso everyday and then have the swag tv running the whole time I am on the computer which probably averages at 4-5 hours a days - I am finding this one a good one so am giving it my all!!

Hope everyone is well - mum2three great news on your scan, off to bed night all xx

I've watched the clips right through, over and over and still just sitting at 10% I looked on their help pages but didn't see anything
