  • Hey guys would like to join in.

    Bit of background about myself, 25 year old Binman and still living with my parents but started to save for a deposit on a house which is what the majority of my wages will be going towards, i''m also a keen traveler so money earned from this will certainly be going towards a holiday at the end of the year.

    Also I referee on a weekly basis, just doing Kids games at the local playing fields but I get between £12-£18 a game and on average maybe £350 a season so that'll be a good chunk of extra earnings.

    Have been lurking these forums for a couple of a weeks to gain some ideas on how to boost my income and will open an account with Bubblews, Swagbucks, YouGov and a couple of others in the coming days as well as Buying and Selling wooden furniture.

    So good luck to everybody and Happy New Year!

    I received a cheque today for reviewing retail websites for £140 which I'm counting as it won't be banked till next year. Also £30 for taking part in telephone research.
    Trying to earn £2015 in 2015. Slightly early start ;). £175.88 today.

    Sold another couple of items at £5.99 each out of my £90 stock purchase. All looking good for making a decent profit on it come sunday evening when all my auctions end :beer:

    Still havent heard back from the ebay seller i've bought £200 of stuff from - emailed them twice now. :( They are 100% sellers with lots of feedback but "slightly" worried - if nothing else because although i'll get my money back through paypal, it was good cheap stock

    Fingers crossed....
  • When did you make your purchase motorguy? A lot of places appear to have closed until the 5th, even if they haven't specifically advertised themselves as such.

    I've identified some things on Ciao that I can review for more than the usual 0.5 pence per rating, also aiming to get enough ratings to be in the Premium fund a bit more frequently. Obviously it won't earn me the full £2015 but it's a start XD
  • Can I join too please :) I earned £2806 last year :) May be harder this year though as I have a new job and less time to spend trying to earn money at home :)

    So it's day one!


    I'm going to have a rummage around and see what I might be able to sell. I've loads of old books, CDs and vinyl. I sold a lot of these types of things years ago before prices crashed and downloading became really popular. I made well over £1000 then. I haven't got much to sell anymore but every little helps and I do have some classic text books that I really don't use anymore.


    Might also see about signing up for some survey sites. I currently do Yougov and make £50 a year. Can anyone suggest any others that are worthwhile?

    Debt-free and Proud! PPI Party Pooper
    I've been trying with the survey sites for the last few days. I've attempted loads but only been suitable for one! Ness I come up with a persona for answering them I don't think I'm not going to get very far :(

    Are there any suitable for 16 year olds? Maybe my daughter will have more luck?
