What are 'Clicks'?

Hi there.

I would love to have a go at making some extra money with the internet things called "clicks". I work part time as a receptionist so when I'm not answering the phone I'm on the internet ;). Thought I might put this time to some good use and try and reduce my massive debts.

Also how do I become a mystery shopper?

Could someone please put me in the right direction. Many thanks! xx

    I use www.pigsback.com for some clicks you can earn points which can be turned into vouchers for places like boots.

    There is a thread about the site somewhere it might be worht doing a search as I can't remember where it is.

  • Hey

    For information on the mystery shopper thing, check out the Up Your Income section.

    There are also loads of tips on there to help you make some extra cash.

    Hi there
    Below is a list of survey and click through sites that I use and have been paid out on. There are others as well as this. Clicks are where you either 'click through' to another website say from the quidco website, and do a search. The computer software tracks that you have done this and pays you x pence as a thank you.
    regards

    www.lightspeedpanel.com - this is a survey site, where you get points that turn into vouchers (you choose). May not help with the cash flow, but the vouchers could be saved towards birthday/xmas or given as presents.

    www.ciao.co.uk - survey site that gives money. A bit fits and starts i.e. no surveys for a couple of weeks, then three or four the same day.

    www.yougov.com - again paid surveys. However takes a while to get to the minimum payout level


    www.mytns.com - again this is a survey site, but it pays you in points that convert into Nectar points at Sainsbury’s.

    www.pigsback.co.uk - this is a points site, i.e. they give you points for buying things via their site. BUT you also get points for signing up for news letters (some of which are even interesting!), and also for clicking on adverts with pink borders. I have spent NOTHING with them but got a £10 voucher through this week (only been registered since January). There is also a thread in the freebies section, of https://www.moneysavingexpert.com that gives you all the daily answers to the competitions so you can have a better chance of winning on them. I won £20 of points recently on the daily quizzes so a nice boost to the Christmas fund.

    www.mutualpoints.com - another points for clicks site. You can also buy things via their site and get points too. For a long time, I just clicked the links in the emails they send you, and that gets you 5 points. At 3000 points you get £20 I think. You can do searches via their site and that gets you points too.

    www.quidco.com - this is a cash back site, so very good, for checking if any potential new insurers (i.e. if you have checked your contents insurance say and found a new provider), are offering cash back. E.g. Lloyds was offering £120 cash back on new policies at one point (the offers do change). You can also get small amounts of cash again for doing searches via their site. You can earn 52p a day by doing this. Every little helps.

    www.greasypalm.co.uk - another cash back site, where you can do searches and get small amounts of money. But it all adds up. I think you can get about 50p a day on there for nothing. Minimum payout is £20 I think, but you can sign up to survey sites via there, and get extra money that way for nothing.


    www.topcashback.co.uk - another site where you can do daily clicks to get money for nowt.

    www.britishrewards.co.uk - same as topcashback, daily clicks to do searches for pennies a time.
