**August 2012 - Make £10 a day challenge **

Aesop

:hello: Hello to all newbies and regulars. Welcome to the August Make £10 a day Challenge of 2012.

This challenge first started in September 2007, so this will be the 60th month that this challenge has been going . So thanks to Batgirl for starting it and SweetPeas, Nat21luv, Monkeynut, Purpleroses, JesaRose and MizMir, who also keep the thread going.

I know this first post is long, but please do read it as it gives tips and info on how this challenge works!

If you're new to the challenge don't be scared - here's how it works:

The aim of this challenge is to make £10 extra a day everyday for the month. A lot of people think this is impossible but it can and has been done (and in some cases some show offs have even doubled or tripled the monthly challenge)

If you feel £10 is too much why not start at £5 or if you're brave join those who aim for £20 a day! Anything extra you make is great so set whatever target you think you can manage. The idea is that everyone posts how they are making extra money and these shared ideas help all of us to learn new ways to earn money and reduce our debt/save money.

What cannot be added: wages from your main job
What can be added: overtime at work, income from a 2nd job, savings in shopping, daily clicks, sales, interest, vouchers, mystery shopping...the list is endless.

Feel free to add any extra money earned (above normal wages). For daily clicks and sites like quidco it is up to you when you add the money earnt there. Some add it when an amount tracks, others when it is paid out.

This board moves so fast so here are some ideas for people to make money. (Click the blue words (links) for some shortcuts to the site/threads on each subject):

Sell your old books/DVDs/CDs/games here:

Amazon, play.com, Green Metropolis is for books only.

Amazon Trade-In, trade in your old books


Ebay - a place to sell anything and everything.

Other places to sell include: Gumtree, Preloved, cquot, ebid, craigslist, vivastreet, netmums, trade-it

If you are on Facebook, type in buy, sell, wanted, for sale in the search part. See what local selling groups are set up for your area. Then join one or more Sell your items for free, no fees for selling/sold items.

Cashback sites - our top two are Quidco and Topcashback.

http://www.volunteer4panels.com/ Famous for 'Shop and Scan'. They may also ask you to join their other panels :

Shop and Scan gives 1100 points a week, plus a bonus 500 if you upload a receipt.

Food on the Go - upto 5000 points a week (200pts for the first 20 texts sent weekly - none after that. Plus 1000 points just for sending. If you have no submissions, you can also just text to say that and still get 500 pts).

Petrol Panel - 2500 points per month for all petrol submissions.
Consumer Pulse - up to 12000 points a month + extras! (500 points per purchase details entered, plus 500 for weekly login)

All panels: 1000 points = £1

Up your income board - Full of great ideas!

Mobile phone to recycle/sell - Check this comparison site first. Also check out Completed Listings on Ebay for your model, as for some, you can make more by selling it. Even if it is broken, people may want them to fix or for parts, so you can still get some cash for it!

Music Magpie - If you have CDs/DVDs you haven't been able to sell at carboots or online, try your luck here. Search via Quidco or Maximiles first for Music Magpie. You will then earn something for selling them via Music Magpie.

Etsy and Folksy - If you enjoy making crafts why not have a go at selling them on Etsy or Folksy. They've been getting increasingly busier each year.

Treat Street. Collect Boots Advantage Card points while shopping online.

Nectar points - shopping on ebay? Use nectar online.

Surveys - Get paid for your opinion. [URL="https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/1003753"This thread[/URL] has a fair bit of info on the different sites.

Swagbucks, Superpoints, Maximiles, GetJam - ways to earn vouchers/paypal. You need to be referred to Superpoints, go to the Referers Board and search for Superpoints referrals.

Referrers Board

Recycle your ink cartridges here.
