    Count me in.

    I sold £630 of bits and bobs from around the house on ebay before christmas, so i'm going to use £300 of that to do a bit of buying and selling through an ebay shop i've set up.

    Bought 100 jiffy bags with £10s worth of Nectar points and a big roll of bubble wrap for £6.90. Picked up £90 of stock today from a guy in Belfast and another £200 on the way due mid week.

    Aiming for a 40% net markup which i think is achievable at the moment.

    Hope to turn over my stock twice a month, so my stretch target is to make that £300 into £600 by the end of January.
  • I would love to join in too, started last year but didn't keep up with it. Going to start with a declutter as I tidy away after christmas. Good Luck everyone x
  • Pleas add me, guy. Iam ready

    Hi Gemma,

    With regards to blogging I would say that if you write about something you know about, in my case earning money online through multiple websites, you should get readers. In my first month I had over 1,000 unique viewers visit my website, and I don't pay to advertise.

    I use my own website, that I purchased via GoDaddy, which is powered by Wordpress. This means I can just turn up, write and post and it is pretty much all done for me. I paid £11 for my first year of hosting, confidential name and address details and a few other bits and bobs, including the url that I wanted.

    I can't link to my site, or give more details on it, as MSE doesn't allow that, but if you write about what you know, whatever that is, or even blog as you learn a new skill or try something new in life, you should get some people visit you. I don't use Adsense or anything to monetise my blog, yet, but I may do in the future.
