    If your partner can be left in charge of your little ones, how about babysitting? I charge £12ph for evening sitting, minimum 3 hours. It adds up nicely. This past week I earned £186 in 3 evenings, pretty much just for watching other peoples' TV!

    It used to be ok when you could do the daily poll, noso, 10 x swag jump and you had the red and blue videos for 1 or 2 SB each that you could just click on and close, plus the 5 videos on peanut labs every day for 2SB each and the occasional video on radium one. Meant you could earn around 30 SB a day for very minimal effort.

    Offers vary so sometimes you'll get some good videos for a while and then they'll vanish. Same for other sites too though.

    Instead of NOSO there's the deal of the day which gets you 1SB.

    If you complete the to do list you get extra SB too, although they've changed that so you now have to do all 8 to get something whereas it was that you had to do most.

    For me the main change that has made it worse is Watch. Double the videos for the same amount of SB. They've shortened the time you need to watch each clip but it still takes longer to gain the same as before and I doubt anyone sits there for ages clicking onto a new video the second it counts as watched so most people are probably going through the same number of videos, same amount of time and now gaining less from it :(

    Watch is still a decent, and certainly easy, way to gain SB, just not quite as good as is was sadly.
    Now all of that has gone except the daily poll and the games which only credit if you leave a sufficient gap between plays i.e. waste lots of time on there.

    I think with the games it's still supposed to give 2SB after every second game, up to 10SB, but there seems to be an issue with it. It'll give the SB maybe once or twice after every second game and then stop. As you say, you then have to leave a gap between plays. I've also found switching the Jump and Run game can help, although sometimes you only get one more 2SB before it glitches again and stops giving the 2SB. Sometimes switching and playing the other game again 2 or 3 times works, other times it doesn't.

    It is annoying, but if you can keep playing and then leaving it a bit it's not so bad. If you only have, for example, an hour a day in which you go on the site it's more of an issue.

    Might be worth contacting Swagbucks. I don't know if they're aware of any issues with it.
  • Hi, I am registered disabled and have had to give up work due to disability. I was wondering if anybody knows of any legit jobs working from home.

    I earn around £27k from the day job, 37 hrs per week.

    Another £1k annually from my websites and blogs.

    Around £2k annually (gross) as a freelance webdeveloper.

    Finally just started Matched Betting, making £200 a month from that but early days, but it is tax-free!
    Make £2018 in 2018 Challenge - Total to date £2,108
  • I'm new, but so far have made about £500 in the last 6 months, not a big amount but every little helps!
  • I'm yet to do the specific calculations, but I made just over £1,500 last year through Facebook Buy / Sell groups making cakes for kids' birthdays. I had so many people comment over the years about how great they looked / doing a few for friends that I finally decided to give it a go 'for real' in my spare time and the response was great. Just about staying active and ensuring your posts are bumped each day so people can see them. The work isn't overwhelming (at least not yet) and it's made such a big difference to our household budget. Hoping for something similar this year! :-)
  • Is it really that easy to make money with youtube anna?? Surely to make any money from advertising you need a loyal fanbase that watch your videos, and for that you need a niche that makes people want to watch your videos. Won't it take years before any money is actually made?
