Yay more friends on Superpoints! I've got another payout yesterday on the way to paypal, the good thing about this site is the speed at which you get your money, normally within the week.

Also waiting for a £15 payment for a product trial of baby bottles I did a couple of weeks ago.

Up to about £20 on dooyoo, if anyone is on there and want to look at my most recent review its

http://members.dooyoo.co.uk/baby-toy/leap-frog-shapes-sharing-picnic-basket/1635813/

I normally review baby stuff as that it my life currently

Also if anyone likes the idea of earning money by doing reviews this is a great site, PM me your email & I will send a referral. I think you get an extra 500 miles (worth £0.50) if you get referred. You earn 10-60p per review & earn 1-2p per read, if you participate & read/rate other peoples reviews they are friendly & return read/rate so most of my reviews get around 60-100 reads. For really good reviews you an get Crowned which gives you an extra £1.50, so some of my reviews have earned me £4 to £5, which is not bad! You can get paid in either cash (£50 payout) or Amazon (£25), never waited for cash as I usually use this money for presents of Amazon, and the vouchers come within the week of order.

Almost finished lesson 3 of 9 in my course, about a week ahead of scheduled study plan. Hope to keep this up & get qualified quicker!!!

Still waiting to hear from CTC I hope it comes soon as it will be a BIG help with the bills! Then I can get a proper SOA sorted!

I signed up to that ages ago but don't bother with it now. I think you can dowload their browser and get points from using that. I'll see if I still have the PM someone sent me about it.

Yay got 4 numbers on the lottery last night & won a whopping £51! not the millions I had hoped for but will help when we are counting every penny!

I'm liking the new peanut labs sponsor on Superpoints, 5 points for watching a video. Easy points

Hi,

Really loving all your money saving ideas, you even convinced me to join Dooyoo just before I saw your referral post. If you've got any hints they would be greatly received, I'm Bunnyhop2 on there.
Well done on your lottery win :T

Hi TwinnyD I'm Red51 on there, I have just added you to my circle of friends dooyoo tips:

1 - its a community firstly! (a bit like on here) You get to know people & once people recognise you they will return to rate your reviews frequently. People are a bit reluctant with new members as some people go on there just to do a load of quick reviews & not bother rating other peoples (its quite political ). You make more money from people rating your reviews than writing them I find. So make friends & return rate when possible (ie in your account, under community activity - "whos rated my reviews" and it will show you the last 50 people has rated you)

2 - Your reviews look good, so no real problem there. I've found it easier to write about what I am passionate about. Its a lot easier for me to review toys & baby stuff than makeup! Good reviews get crowned, however, you have to have someone to nominate your crown, so the more people you can get to look at your reviews the better chance of crowns (worth £1.50 each)

3 - Also I've found it seems easier to get crowns on negative reviews (objective ones!) - a critical approach is good to any product, even if you love it!

4 - you've got a while yet, but you only get points for rating of reviews up to 6 months, however, you can update it after this time & it will get points for the next 6 months. So it is good to look back at your reviews after a while & see if you can better them/update them when you get near the 6 months mark.

If I think of any more I will update this

Thanks for all those great tips and for adding me to your friends, I was feeling a bit of a Billy-no-mates!!

Just read your diary, and wanted to say well done on all the money saving/earning so far. Am very inspired by all your surveys etc, that is one aspect I am not great on (but working full time/being ill with migraines makes that quite hard!). Hopefully when I'm on mat leave and my migraines are under control I'll be able to use some of your useful tips.

Keep up the good work!
