Money Making Methods

So these survey sites only offer surveys in US and UK. Can you people share websites offering surveys in Asia as well.

I belong to the UK version of this one and have been paid several times.

There are many ways on net to make money online. Many people make that way in which they have interest. Amongst them there is ways called betting by which you can make money. Now days there are many betting sites and by this many people are making money out of it.

Going back a bit, the matched betting isn't the same as arb betting.

It's cashing in on the "free £25 when you sign up with us" bets. In short you bet for and against an outcome, and so will have a guaranteed £20ish. The section on this site explains it, but it is all above board.

Seems like I'm another one curious as to your mystery shopping successes!

I'm currently in a library, stuck between two mystery shops, having typed up the breakfast one, but will probably only break even once I take petrol into account
Could you please pm me as well, or post in the thread, I'm sure lots of people want to know!

Ah I see, yes, I've done a lot of matched betting, to the extent that I doubt I'd qualify for many incentives as they specify new customers.

The mystery shopping success has been a bit short-lived I'm afraid, this month is looking rather barren as I've done every assignment within about 40 miles of where I live! Doubt I can get anywhere near last month's levels but I will PM you anyway with some details.

I don't want to post too much on a public forum as although I am not mentioning clients and specifics some of the info might make some of the companies a bit squeamish!

Thanks scared.

I wondered if the levels might drop after that one very good month.

And definitely don't post anything in public, unfair to both the shops and the mystery shopping companies - I'll think they'll be happy you telling everyone you cleaned up one month though, more shoppers applying can only be good for them

My aim is to have a diverse income stream so if one dries up I've got others to fall back on.

The problem with webdesign is it will take a while for me to get enough interest for that alone to support me, the mystery shopping will be my mainstay for the first couple of months and having signed up to half a dozen or so sites I can see there's enough work for me to earn around £70-£100 daily for a couple of weeks at least. I expect more work will come through as time progresses so this is hopefully sustainable for at least a few months.

I had the idea of leaflet dropping when I was walking down my road, there's a lot of small business owners with their own vans with telephone numbers on but no websites, for less than a £100 getting online might be tempting.

I do photographic work for insurance companies that should see me able to earn around £2-300 a month and then my website income is around £150 monthly currently.

I need to earn a minimum of £1,000 a month to pay the bills, put food on the table and run a car (necessary for the mystery shopping) but that would mean living a hand to mouth existence, £1,500 gives me some comfort and £1,800 would see me having the same standard of living that I had when working full-time but with the benefits of being my own boss, no paid holidays though!

Other ideas:

domain name trading, small risks but good possible gains, time consuming though!

consultancy work - I've got some success and good knowledge of SEO, website optimisation etc, could make that pay, not sure how best to approach that one yet.

writing articles - I've got quite a good writing style, or so I've been told, might be marketable

blogging - my old blog, that I had to stop working on, was earning around £50 a month, I've got some ideas for a couple of new ones.

I'm going to give it a few weeks and see how it goes, if I fail, then it's back to the job hunting, wish me luck!

Advice and comments welcome.

May I ask how you earned money through your blog? I have a blog but it's dried up a bit now as I stopped writing when I went abroad on an internship. Would be interested to know how you do this )

Can you please pm me the details of your mystery shopping sites?

scaredofdebt

There's a thread on this forum Jo4, all the sites I use are listed on that.

bobtail_5 - I'm having the same problem, a lot of my income from blogging/advertising is drying up too, I am trying something different and will report back if it works.
