My third way to make £100...

GPT (Get Paid To...)

I'm sure everyone here knows about sites like Swagbucks, Maximiles and CantBeatFree.net. You get points, redeemable for cash and/or vouchers, for doing things like watching short videos, completing surveys & offers, clicking on stuff, doing tasks and so on.

The MSE Swagging thread has loads of tips on how to maximise your earnings on Swagbucks.

I've written a short guide about CantBeatFree.net (CBF), my second favourite GPT site after Swagbucks. Swagbucks is great, but CBF is better than Swagbucks in a few ways. You can access the guide on the referrers board here (and no, I wouldn't object at all if you wanted to sign up using my referral link found there )

Anyhoo, for this challenge I went through all of my GPT sites to see if there was anything to redeem. Hooray, I did have some $ to cash out:

Cantbeatfree.net: US$20 = £12.08
iRazoo: US$25 = £15.03
Points2Shop: US$7.50 = £4.53

...added to the two £5 Amazon vouchers I've received so far this month from Swagbucks, that's a total of £41.64.

Have also cashed out at ZoomBucks, and a 2nd cashout at iRazoo, and have two more Amazon gift cards on order from Swagbucks, but won't count any of those until they're in hand. Almost at cashout level at GiftHulk, SnapDollars and Maximiles.

Haha I have my moments!

Bought 3 rolls of parcel wrap and 5m of bubble wrap. Going to wrap everything tonight to post tomorrow!

Going to try and set up my over locker so I can crack on with a few handmade presents to keep my spends down this year and I need to make my daughters present too, she will be 4 end of feb and I'm going to make her a dress and a few busy bags (little bags filled with a game/craft/educational something). So far I'm going to do a wee play dough one, a little puzzle, a bead/bracelet making set, notebook and colours etc, a colour matching one (using the dulux paint cards you get in b&q) etc should be well loved but cheap too!

Hi all

Number 122 checking in:-
Paid 6.30% now.

Paid £200 of my N#xt bill. Should be able to pay another £300 off L1ttlewoods Catalogue next week which will make my % look better.

Been abit slow this month as have two large bills to pay that were not included in my % total .

February should be better though.

Listed five 99p items on eBay this evening. Figured they may attract people for some of my more expensive items! I really must get some more parcel paper from Wilcos myself!

StressedSteph- that's great, I reckon January is a horrid month for debt busting!

ThriftyFelicity- am loving these entries. Really must give these things a go! Why is there not more time in the day!?

Another NSD for me :j - still no progress on % front yet though as I dare'nt transfer it over until end of month - running on empty due to paying for villa for holiday and having to buy a new washing machine after ours decided to stop working :mad:

Morning all

It's finally pay day so I finally put some numbers on here!

I have just paid 3.58% which is cool I have made about £65 profit on ebay, but because I have been doing a lot of travelling for work I have been using that on diesel. As soon as my expenses have been paid, I can transfer that too.

Also, I've started my own 'business' - selling things for people on ebay and I take a small commission. I already have two customers and lots of items, so that'll be my evenings gone!

Hope everyone else is getting on ok

greensaints . i had thought about this. i have lots of people who i work for that im helping to have de- clutter and whom dont want to or are unable to do e- bay but didnt know how much commision to charge. it has to be worth all the time it takes takes although may be the more you do the easier it gets .:j if you are queuing in the post office for 1 parcel you may as well have more.
any way still thinking about it

Morning all, I have taken an impulsive day off today so going to have a declutter and start ebaying etc

I was just wondering if there is anything I can do with old bedding? I saw on the front page there are companies that take old clothes so was wondering if there is a similar for pillows/duvets etc? If not, can they be recycled? Haven't a clue what to do with them lol!
