Wow Listerbelle well done on Bubblews. Im up to $13 now but haven't been able to post much over the past couple of days. My aim was to do 10 posts a day but I've never done it! Im going to try and get to $50 within the next 10 days or so though. I really need to get going though, think Im waiting for the weekend for ebay listing but should really start scheduling as I never end up having enough time anyway!

£17.87 from eBay to add. I've had words with the guinea pigs about getting themselves paper rounds, but they just looked at each other in disbelief as if to say 'The servants are getting dreadfully above themselves. You just can't get the staff these days...' and carried on eating their cucumber. I'd better switch to Plan B. Once I've come up with one

Debt free in 11 years apparently so gonna aim for 10 makes me feel happier actually going to have money left after bills so not got to worry where money is coming From for daily living now

Great to hear you have managed to sort things out so quickly and good luck. Hope you manage to reduce the time with savings

OK, a little about Bubblews.

Firstly, there is a short thread on MSE: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4924807

Bubblews is a US-based site that gains advertising revenue, and shares that revenue with its contributors. ie you and me. It pays via Paypal - you can claim once you are at or above the $50 level.

As I understand it, the writer gets one cent per view, per like or dislike and per comment left on a post.

The post you write can be about absolutely anything. You can submit a maximum of ten posts a day - their day is slightly odd, server times. Each post must be more than 400 characters.

I recommend at least 300 words of useful, grammatically correct information.

The aim is obviously to have as many people as possible visit each of your posts. Your "friends" on the site are called "connections". There are many people from around the world who take the P, who connect with you but never actually read/like/comment on your posts.

I recommend choosing a simple username that is four or five letters long and is easy for others to remember. This will be useful when they quote you to get your attention.

I have only been on the site for seven or eight weeks, and for the first month I was hardly there and certainly didn't interact enough.

If I had my time over again, I think I would submit two or three posts in the first day and then go around the site and read, like, comment on as many peoples' posts as possible. I would connect with people who I thought that I had something in common or who seem to write about interesting topics.

Finally, the mechanics. What I do is as soon as I wake up in the morning I post an article. Then I go to my previous two or three posts and reply to each and every comment, and go to the profile of the people who commented on my post so that I can return the favour.

Such people will then see that I have commented - at some stage - and then check if I have written anything.

I have also seen someone describe a knock-on effect of having 2/3/4 new posts within a few hours, and when people visit your profile to the latest post they also notice and like a few of the others while they are there.

I have redeemed three times. I have been paid into Paypal twice - it can take up to ten days. I am within the time-frame to be paid for my third redemption.

OK - long post here - really sorry!!

Oh I nearly forgot - I also share by better posts on facebook and twitter as we earn from those views as well

I am BellaDoc there

Feel free to hit me up for a referral - I make 20 cents if you do join

A double your money challenge is just that lol
A few of us on here did it quite a lot on here a while ago but think we got lazy :rotfl:

What you have to do is to buy something out of the money you have earnt on this challenge. So you may take £5 out and buy something from a charity shop,bootsale. store sale anywhere in fact
Then sell it aiming at a profit which doubles your money.
You can sell it anyway you like and it can be any value.

You must post to tell us the type of item you have purchased and how much it cost you and where you purchased it from.

Then you must post and tell us how much profit you made

My best when we were doing this was I purchased a pair of shoes from a charity shop for £3 and they sold on Ebay for £70 :eek:

Dont go mad and spend loads of money a couple of quid will do and as we are savvy shoppers on here we tend to do pretty well on this :rotfl:

So who is up for it ??????

Wow Listerbelle!! How are you earning so much on Bubblews??

My earnings have shot up this past week - I've reached 300 "connections" which helps. It's ALL about chatting to people, commenting and liking all over the place. I'm not sure I'll stay on there long term but now I'm up to $32 I can see the end result. The food category seems best for earnings. If anyone wants to let me know their usernames I'll be sure to try to comment more often on your posts
