  • Hello everyone :j

    My first post on this challenge, but I've finally taken the plunge to sign up. I don't really have any other means of an income other than my main job, however I'm going to try and declutter the house and see what I can either sell or trade into shops.

    Can you sign me up for £1 a day please. If I complete this, and have £31 by the end of May I will be delighted. Then I can maybe move onto bigger totals like you professionals :rotfl:

    All the best everyone.

    Hi!


    Followed the April thread with interest and awe! If I could join in this month please, i'll be looking for £10 a day as I have a HUGE pile of stuff for ebay....also a couple of mystery shops coming up, joined a postal survey thingy, signed up to swagbucks and will endeavour to actually finish the paid surveys that I start!


    An extra £310 this month would be amazing! Hope to be able to join in the 'extra payment every week' challenge with the extra income!


    Thanks

    Hi All,
    Thanks so much Aesop for keeping this thread going year in year out. I am for the first time in about 6 years in debt :eek::eek::eek: Fortunately we are in debt to ourselves (savings) and money we have put away for our boys future university so not true debt but scary enough. The debt is for solar panels which will eventually pay for themselves but still.........
    I'd like to say £10 a day but have a manic May with 3 charity events taking up 3 of my weekends and friends visiting the 4th so I will try to smash £5 a day.
    May 2015 £10 a day currently £208

    Afternoon all, put me down for £10 per day, I do plan on doing a boot sale in this time so we could be really ambitious and go for £400 in total in may ;)

    Hi All,

    I'm a lurker but would like to join - can I go down for £3 a day please and hopefully will increase in time.

    I do have a couple of questions (and suggestions).

    I've joined iPoll - the app missions and surveys seem good and I'm already at £17 after a few days. However, I've read a few forums and it has taken a very long time for people to get paid. I don't mind as I am patient (and hey it's free money) but do they actually pay you? I know the threshold is about £30 paypal to cash out with 3% free.

    My second question is my other half is keen to join Geolotto and get digging (he needs to do some of that in the garden too ;)), but as we are both at the same address is that OK? We do have different bank accounts. And should he use the tablet rather than the laptop I use?

    The other sites I've joined are PureProfile for surveys - it is £25 to cash out but I have had a few surveys, it seems slow but the only good thing is that if you aren't eligible they give you 5p. As well as Opinion World - this is £10 to cash out and they you get 10p if you're not eligible for the survey.

    I've also downloaded Quick Thoughts app but never had any surveys yet - there was one but I wasn't eligible. Will keep trying for a bit.

    And finally, MindSwarms app - this is video based research but for quite large payments - they are US based. I think it is just difficult to get into one of the sessions. First thing I need to do is record a video!!

    I hope this helps someone and a massive thank you to Aesop for your amazing work and motivation to us all :j:beer:

    Hi all

    I've been lurking here for a while, and love the idea of being able to make £10 per day. I don't work due to disability, so some extra money would be fantastic!

    Not sure if £10 is do-able for me, so I will start with £3 per day (hopefully increasing as I become as competent as all of you experts!) So £91 for the month. I would be able to put this money towards my mortgage repayment, boring, I know!

    Have just signed up to geolotto and v8juice.

    Hiya Batgirl - wondered if you would be back after your short visit last year. Sorry to hear about the debt but at least you're at it now.


    Good luck everyone with the challenge
