Ideas for a Newbie Please!

Hi all, am new to the forum, but loving it! you've all given me loads of ideas and inspiration.
ive set myself my own personal challenge for 6 months, ive set aside 3hrs per day (when id normally be playing on facebook or watching soaps) to see if its possible to generate any income from sitting at pc.
so far ive opened an ebay account (not much to put on there yet), signed up for mailpay, swag bucks, !!!!!!!!!, fat cheese and a few survey sites (im a bit limited living in ireland)
ive started a blog about my progress and put google ads on it
signed up for keyforcash (didnt rate too highly tho hehe) and dooyoo

what am i missing? any ideas welcomed :beer:

    On Mailpay, you've signed up as a advertiser I believe (through my referral link), advertisers are people who spend money on there. It's the buddies one where you earn the credits for receiving email.

    Hi Gill :)
    Have you thought about any direct sales?Not talking the whole getting out and doing parties 24/7 but something you can do from home on sofa too?
    I am a Scentsy team leader and have a team in Ireland too,they only launched there 5 months ago.No targets,no need to do parties,can sell via FB,customer groups,through website etc

    Strictly no pressure the way they run things...uber laidback I think sometimes lol!
    But I have earned every single month since I started and it has helped us with bills and kids want want lol

    Anyhow just another thing to think about :)xx

  • Have you signed up for any cashback sites? They come in handy. Any old mobiles kicking around that can be sold? Can be worth looking on Facebook to see if there's a local for sale/swap page for your area. That can be good for selling.

    Ive signed up for fat cheese, is topcashback aimed just at uk shoppers? living in ireland is a real disadvantage when it comes to stuff like that.
    I'm trying to sort out some stock from a shop i used to own to sell as job lots on donedeal, will check facebook now - thanks:T
