Make £10 a day April 2017 - everybody most welcome to join

Aesop

Hello and welcome everybody :hello:


This is the 116th month of this challenge, which was first started by Batgirl, in September 2007.

Thanks to Batgirl for starting it, lynnejk, Rawdinosaur, Emmaglet, Nat21luv, Monkeynut, Sweetpeas, Purpleroses, JesaRose, MizMir for keeping the thread going.

I know this first post is long, but please read as it give tips on how this challenge works. Some of the content has changed

If you're new to the challenge don't be scared - here's how it works:

The aim of this challenge is to make £10 extra a day everyday for the month. A lot of people think this is impossible but it can and has been done, over and over. If you feel £10 is too much why not start at £5 or if you're brave join those who aim for £20 a day! Anything extra you make is great so set whatever target you think you can manage.

It also doesn't have to be £10 each and every day - some days you make more and some days you make less, but aim for £300 extra at the end of the month.

The idea is that everyone posts how they are making extra money and these shared ideas help all of us to learn new ways to help cut debt or earn/save money.

What cannot be added:
Wages from your main job

What can be added:
Overtime
Income from a second job
Daily clicks
Interest
Vouchers
Mystery shopping
And much, much more.

This board moves pretty quickly, so be sure to subscribe and read it regularly. Below are some ideas to get you started and a great place to read when you're in need of inspiration.

Sell your old books/DVDs/CDs/games here:
Amazon.co.uk, play.com, webuybooks, zapper, CEX

Ebay - a place to sell anything and everything.

Gumtree, Preloved, cquot, ebid, craigslist, vivastreet, netmums.com, trade-it , Friday ad, priceminster - these are all places you can sell items too.

Survey sites - mysurvey and pinecone, prolific academic tend to be the best but there are many more it really depends on you finding the ones that work best for you - toluna, harris poll, valued opinions etc

also join Topcashback and Quidco - type in surveys in the search engine and some will pay you to join up with them.

Sealed Pot Challenge 2016 - basically you put your change into a jar over the year so in December you should have a nice pot of money to help

Mobile phone to recycle? try Martin's mobile recycling comparison site first to see where you may get the best deal!

Music Magpie - have cds/dvds you haven't been able to sell at carboots or online. Try your luck here. Is you do sell your albums/dvds be sure to go via quidco to get a few more pennies

etsy and folksy - If you enjoy making crafts why not have a go at selling them on etsy or folksy. They've been getting increasingly busier each year.

Collect Boots points while shopping online.

Don't forget to search for your online shop at nectar.com before you buy, and earn nectar points for buying online, including ebay.

A must for all newbies if you are not already doing any of these:

1. Apply to PineconeResearch here. They pay a guaranteed £3 per survey. You are never screened out, they don't send out lots, but when you get one, you know you will be paid within a few days.

2. Apply to Shop and Scan - this is not the same as Nielsen Home Shopping Scanner. Shop and Scan is a hand held scanner, that you scan the barcodes of your shopping, you are paid 1100 points weekly for scanning, nothing if you are on holiday. You can cash out for various vouchers at 10000 points. Not much work for a good reward. They also send emails with questionnaires that are worth extra points.

Hello, I'm new to this challenge but having been inspired by Sunshine's progress on the PADding thread I'd love to join!

Don't think I'll quite make £10 a day extra though, so could I start with £5 a day for now and I'll see how I get on

Thank you!

Kantankrus_Mare

Thanks for new thread. :beer:

£10 for me please.

angelicious

Hey all, can't believe it's the start of a new month again, scary how time is passing by:eek:

I doubled my target for march so this month I'm gonna up the ante. I'm aiming t make an extra £50 a day:eek:. I'd like to hit this target cause ideally I'd like to add £1000 to my car saving find and £500 to my holiday saving fund. I have a lot of overtime booked for April but I'll need to do a lot more besides to come anywhere near that total but I reckon it's worth a shot lol!!

Hope you're all doing ok:)

I've been MIA for a while, OK , since Christmas
And really need to get back on track earning some extra pennies.
I've installed a waste not, want not pot in our kitchen, were there is a penalty for wasting food - 10p each offense, and that has saved us lots of money over the last few months, just been a bit better about using up the leftovers, and taking stuff out of wrappers as soon as we get stuff in, as even in the fridge it was going off quicker than it should. Its made everyone in the house think harder about it.
So savings were made whilst absent (yay ) - im going to aim for £30 for the month - not a lot compared with some, but i've got a huge amount due on at work this month (tax/accounts/stocktake) - not going to say any more otherwise i'll need a lot of chocolate to get me through, and that will use us the 30.00 saved. lol
best go edit my signature
