hello everyone,

like most of you i have not sold a book on amazon for weeks. however oldest kids are selling there old uni books at on average, a book a day. if only the rest of the nation wanted my books.

good luck for next week

I am member of www.valuedopinions.co.uk, the system works but you will have to answer many many surveys to have at least £10.00 voucher, the problem is that they take so much more time in the administrative department that you have to wait like a 60 days for you count to be updated and another 6 or 8 weeks to receive your voucher. So think in another way to have money for Christmas!.

Sell!

Amazon

Amazon 'Sell Your Stuff'

You can sell books, CD's, DVD's, and more on Amazon. It is very easy to list them and, unlike ebay, there are no fees until you make a sale.

Ebay (add the code "mseolympicchallenge" in white if you wish so other challengers can find your items!)

Learn how to sell
You can sell anything on Ebay (well almost!). Listing can be quite time consuming and it costs to list items even if they don't sell. Ebay can be fun and quite addictive!

This is a good focus group website:
http://www.focus4people.com/index.asp

Mostly in london, but if you are close enough to go there then you could earn some serious money. I have only matched their requirements once and wasn't accepted so I don't know yet if the focus groups are any good but it was recommended to me by someone who has done one and said it was very good and good money.

Another tip is to join swapit shop and collect free points, then get vouchers or goods for these free points then sell them on ebay. You can get the points from this thread:

It's a completely flexible, do as much or as little as you want, part-time work from home job, all the details in the link. It's a text messaging service and you will be hired as a researcher to answer the questions people send in and you get paid 30p per text, you do it through a pc not your mobile phone. You need a degree though and the test to pass is not easy. If they are not hiring right now, check everyday because it seems to change daily.

Please PM totals for Week 12 ONLY (29th September - 5th October inclusive) over the next few days to be counted in
Just that week's totals please, not overall totals

Couple of old uni books sold on amazon this week clearing £48.33 so I am very pleased with that. Cleared some space on the book case too!!

I've sold a book an amazon, and another on Greenmetropolis in the last 24 hours. I've posted them but who know when they'll arrive. I've also done some matched betting and made profit, but theat's not into my bank account yet - so so far this week I've made a loss!

candyblue

I made just over £66 this week

mumofcookers

hi everyone,
I only have £5.77 to go to get to bronze:j
Does anyone think there is time to upgrade to sliver? Bearing in mind there is 8ish weeks left?
Good luck to everyone for this week:D

Gemmzie

Definitely, even if you don't make it then you can give it a good go

The week 12 target for a Silver challenger is £1043.52 so you're definitely on target to make it by the end!
