Very Scary Times......

Well done on paying off a debt.  It feels so good doesn't it?

What a shame about the Textbroker rating.  I used to write a lot on there but had the same thing happen a couple of times for no apparent reason.  Like you, I'd like to have known what the problem was so I could correct it and make sure it never happened again.  They were both articles that I was really pleased with and I can't for the life of me see what their gripe was, especially as they accepted them.  It put me off Textbroker, I haven't written for them for about a year.  I might go back and have another go as I used to enjoy doing it.  More interesting than surveys anyway!

Do you do PopulusLive surveys?  I've finally reached their £50 payout threshold again.  Their only payment method has always been a cheque but I had an email to say they are now paying via BACS as well.  It's administered by some company called Hyperwallet which I've never heard of before. I wonder whether you've had any dealings with them.  At one time I was so strapped for cash that I'd have signed up for it so I could get my hands on the money as soon as possible but I'm tempted to wait until their office is back up and running and let them send me a cheque.  Apparently their staff are working from home now and cheques will be very delayed.

Congratulations on clearing a debt

Definitely feels good clearing a debt, and it frees up £50 a month now.

I do New Vista surveys, which I think are pretty much the same deal - they usually pay via cheque. Only about half way to the £50 though at the moment.

Try Textbroker again. I have found there are quite a few jobs to get at the moment (have to sit there with it on refresh sometimes, but I have been finding jobs pop up quite quickly). Most of the articles I've written have had good reviews, it's just from that one person, and at least I've been able to block them now.

I think I'm going to stop making note of what I earn each day and just stick to my monthly running total of what I get paid instead. I'm getting muddled with things and am forgetting to note some stuff down. As long as I get to £300 by the end of the month, I'll be happy!!

April Earnings:

£12 - Panelbase
£5.01 - Prolific
£29.32 - Textbroker

£46.33

Bang on target for this month. I have paid the Textbroker money off the Currys debt - so I now owe £447.68

Morning - hope everyone had a good weekend.

I had a bit of a quiet day yesterday. Couldn't get any articles to write (although I did quite a long article on Saturday), but I did do a couple of Prolific surveys and made sure I got my Swagbucks target done. I've got an article to write this morning and will get that done before lunch so I can try and get another for this afternoon. I had some accepted over the weekend (including the nasty comment client, who luckily didn't say anything this time!!), so I'm expecting a nice big payment on Friday.

April Earnings:

£12 - Panelbase
£5.01 - Prolific

Morning

Nothing to add to my earnings, but I should get a nice big payout from Textbroker tomorrow. Articles seem to have slowed down a little bit, but I still managed to get a couple yesterday. Everything has been paid for, so my payout should allow me to get my Currys debt down to under £400.

Had my second food box from the government this morning. Lots of great stuff in there and it's all saving my OH having to go out and possibly bring some germs back with him.

Good news on the box. Xx

Hi Emz, that's really great about the box! For some reason, my mum hasn't received any boxes at all even though she's shielding. Must look into chasing that up..

That's great that you are getting the boxes.
