Challenge to make an extra £10 a day in November 2022 ~ everyone welcome

makingmehappy

Hello everyone and welcome to this month's challenge. This is the 183rd month of the challenge which was started by Batgirl in September 2007.

Here is a link to the original thread as I am sure some of you are interested to read where it all began.

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/542835/make-10-a-day-extra-every-day-in-sept-challenge

The purpose of this challenge is to try and make an extra £10 a day on top of your normal income to help things along eg paying off debt, making savings, paying for holidays, overpaying mortgages or even extra spending money. Every little helps!

If you feel £10 is too much why not start at £5 (or less if you want)  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 £310 (or whatever your target is) 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.

Thanks to Batgirl for starting it and for everyone who has kept it going for over 15 years.

Hope you join us and see how much you can make this month!

Below are some ideas to get you started and a great place to read when you're in need of inspiration.

Cashback on things you're buying - Topcashback and Quidco are the two main sites along with Swagbucks. Some bank accounts and credit cards also give cashback so check out yours.  

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.

Make money from recycling - mobiles, ink cartridges,

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  loyalty points for shopping - Tesco clubcard, Boots Advantage card, Morrisons More card, Superdrug Beautycard, Nectar card  (please let me know if there are any more loyalty cards to add)
You can also go through Nectar to earn points for shopping at ebay.

Hi November!

I'm going for £20 a day again!! I didn't get close in October, but I have got a lot I'm waiting to pay out any second now, so I'm feeling confident!

I'm going to take @Makingabobor2 's lead and survey a little bit every day! I'm determined this month! £60
I AM going to sell this $4!t I have taking up space (I mean it!) £100
I'm going to keep up with the mystery shopping £200
I am going to pay more attention to TopCashBack - I am waiting on £260 to pay out, but must use it more for day-to-day stuff! £60
I am going to start my own side hustle to make a regular extra income £200

Some won't pay out until next month of course, but then I'm waiting for loads, so it'll hopefully balance out and should see £600 paid in...

I'm in for November again. Was tempted to up my target, but as we have a few days away in middle of month, I think I should stick to £5 a day. 
What's your side hustle @CMD69?

Offering CV writing and interview preparation. The government keep telling people that it's very easy - everyone should get a better job! (My better job started yesterday, so although it's a tactless, idiotic response to a crisis, I can't entirely disagree with it!!)

Hi... I'm in again! Going to aim for £5 a day this time as got a bit of travelling which will distract me for a couple weeks. Good luck all with your goals too!

Hi everyone, happy new month   and good luck

I'm aiming for £10 a day again.  Already sorted for my first day's target - received £11.02 from TCB.

Where do you find "customers" for your side hustle @CMD79 ?  I'd love to have a side hustle working with spreadsheets, but no idea how I'd start getting jobs.

Hi everyone and good luck.
As I have failed so miserably in the past please may I have a target of £5 a day and I promise I will try really, really hard to meet this one  
Thank you

Thanks! I've been at Prolific today.... I think I'm in love! I cannot believe the difference when you compare the standard nonsense sites.
