Another £17 today from a bit of MS, I am well over my £5 a day target and may hit £10 a day if I'm lucky as I currently have nearly £100 in Prolific.
Total 216 for the month so far.0 -
Been away helping my dad for a few days, so no time for anything, but today I managed £28.47 from a mix of P/fc, Qm** and a FB sale. Hoping the rest of the month is as good.

Hi all 😊
I'm thinking of joining you next month 😊 Just have a quick question though - with surveys etc do you track what you've made in a day, or wait until you've reached payout and count it all then? Eg I'm currently up to £7.05 with 1poll, but can't withdraw til I'm at £25 - would you count the amount made each day, or wait for payout?
Enjoying reading how you're all getting on - I do extra bits and pieces but don't track an overall monthly amount, but I'd like to!
Thanks 😊

I only count mine once I've physically got it in my bank account. Just in case anything happens & it doesn't pay out.Cheery_Daff said:Hi all 😊

I think its been a funny old month @WelshSaver. I am finding surveys very slow and running out of things to sell on FB & no mystery shops in the area. Hoping September will improve.Making the debt go down and savings go up

I just didn't have the willpower to leave my Prolific money sitting there until the end of the month so I cashed out £110.16 bringing my total to £326.16 for the month. Having a weekend off the mystery shopping but may pick some up for Monday.Total debt when my journey began in December 2022- £66,133.42
