Make £2020 in 2020

bit_by_bit

#80 here. Just popped in to give my monthly totals and was pleased to see so many of us still checking in. I would say it is even more important to keep going with alternative earnings right now. I used a lot of my 2020 money to help my brother out and was glad of it as I kept it separate from my emergecy fund I still had something to fall back on.
Anyhow, here goes:
All bank interest £4.31
Barclays reward £7.00
Free coffee & £5.90
refunds £576.30 (from holiday things)
halford cashback £25.00
ebay sales after charges and costs £23.04
Sale of old mags of F/book £15.00
Free carparking &+£12,50 ( I think this is going to stop this month and we will be back to paying.)
Total of savings etc for July: £669.05 
Grand total for 2020 £2182.78/£2020 Target met, yay. Where are the cliking beer glasses emoji when you need it.
I will keep checking in as i am enjoying this challenge and it is moving me nearer my goal to be mortgage free next year.

Id very much like to know how youre racking up £133 on Prolific? Also noticed you got £136, i just find that hard to believe with the lack of studies and the low paying studies recently, if im wrong id happily love to hear how you do it.

My average on Prolific is about £70 per month over the course of a number of years. Some months I get lots of studies (the most has been ~£250), other months not much at all (about ~£30). I am getting fewer studies now so expect a lot less this month.

Depop and Vinted are both selling apps. I started both about 5/6 years ago and have built it up to what it is today with over 400 reviews across the two platforms. It started off as a extra little earner and can become a full time job - But with a lot of effort to put into it. Consitency, trust and knowing the market is key. They`re 2 very different platforms with 2 different markets so it requires some research before diving in. Also it may seem lucrative but I go the majority of every month without a sale (Without ebay), The pandemic has not helped. Alas I also sold on Schpock (minimal success) and Facebook (No success)

Commission is a lot harder to start with. Theres a lot of commission sites out their, But I like things to be easy and simple and so Awin is my top one as it`s really easy to use and navigate. But with commission you need a good solid base like a blog or a website with lots of subscribers/followers to get your links out.

See iv only just started using it so maybe im expecting alot in a short time, really wish id found it years ago, any tips to get more studies? Or tips at all? Not got any studies in nearly a week, even contacting them to check if theres a problem with my account, guessing being on it for years has built your rep?
