Make an Extra £10 a Day January 2024

£25 Swagbucks for me. I haven't used it for a couple of years and signed in to find I was 250 points short of a £25 voucher. Don't think I will bother again though as it's taken me 3 weeks to earn those.

£7.06 today from P/fc. 
Listed some stuff on FBMP, but no joy so far. Also been doing other survey sites, but way to far from cash out yet. Need to think of some other ways to make money

I'm considering whether it's even worth bothering any more as I'm getting so many time wasters. Problem is where i live by the time you factor in fuel to the nearest car boot it's barely worth doing those either these days.

I agree, Even on the free pages, people say they want stuff and then don't turn up. Think I'll just take it to charity TBH. We don't really have enough stuff to car boot. Got rid of most of it over the last few years.

Sorry, catching up a bit.  I have honestly given up on FMP, even offering free things (maybe especially free!). 
I did list some things, but got messed around so much and some very rude people expecting instant replies (literally within minutes) that I started losing my faith in humanity. It was a shame as some people were lovely but......argh. If I can't sell on Vinted, or eBay I just take it to the charity shop now. It doesn't help with extra income, but most things aren't as valuable as we think anyway, and it's not worth my time, mental energy or stress with people for a low amount.  Sometimes I think about trying again, but then I remember how annoyed I was, and just .....no. 

My time and sanity isn't worth the small amounts of cash I might get. 

@outoftheviciouscircle congratulations on your job! I'm so pleased for you! 


Surveys are slow, and user testing is slow this month as well for me. 

I am at £160.85/£155. 


I think that will be it for the month now.  So I'm pretty happy I exceeded my £5 a day target! 
I had some user testing sessions, some cashback from Lloyds recently. 

If I add in birthday money and some cash gifts to say thank you for things, I have 'made' 

£510.85  extra.  
So just over £16 a day including gifts. 

Still wouldn't get to £10 a day from usertesting etc but did make over £5 a day without gifts bonus. 
Which I'm very pleased with given it's Jan and usertesting was very sparse. 
I think the only way to get to £10 a day extra is to have a side job/gig or hustle in addition to work or whatever your main income is, or a cottage industry selling extra things. Or selling things /turning things for profit on ebay etc, or perhaps having a lot of saleable stuff to sell (and time to do so). 

But I'm still pretty in awe that when I put my mind to it, with the usertesting open whist I'm doing report writing and website development from home and things, remembering to check for available cashback and use links/activate offers before buying what I planned to buy, shop*ium 've made an extra £160 a month.  

I have been doing other receipt scanning but I'm not at a payout yet at all. 

I have been doing some surveys (yougov and market research) but no income yet. I honestly don't have time to spend on survey sites really, especially when they are glitchy, a thousand screeners for nothing, and liable to kick you off for no reason (yes this happened to me in one I'd been doing for years happily getting £25 amazon vouchers periodically, I was so annoyed. I was at £24 too. Essentially - I read too fast I think. Instant ban, for life. I've sworn off survery sites since! It was one of the better ones - not prolific. Still on waiting list for that.) For me: survey sites aren't really worth the time, given I need that time to work on business etc. I'm also not sure I have the patience at the moment. Prolific might be different, it seems better. 

Are we doing a Feb thread? (pls?!)  

Feb I am working *a lot* to increase income through main job/regain clients after longer term off. 
So we'll see what I can manage. But I do plan to declutter and hopefully put some things on ebay and vinted, so a challenge thread would keep me motivated to actually find time/energy/will to list things!

another £5.85 from prolific. I think my little mans nap time fell just perfect for a few surveys today :-)

And another £12 that's been sitting in my pinecone account. had my first survey for months which nudged me to check my balance
So despite the odds I've managed to hit my target for the month 

Makingabobor2

Yes @CoffeeSonata, I will start a thread for Feb. 

BTW, not sure if I told you, but I got DH to look at my laptop and apparently there was something in the settings needed fixing for the audio & camera to work properly, so he fixed it and I managed to do the test thing on Usertesting. So just waiting for them to reply and see if I've been accepted. Fingers crossed, 

With regard to surveys, P/fc is definitely the best, but I also do On*P*!! which pays out at £25. Its a long slog, but I do manage 2 or 3 surveys a day on there. Also Y!*ve which pays out at £50 and they email you when there is a survey. My last £50 was July and I'm now £6 away from the next one.  I've recently signed up to Op*n*um, that also pays out at £25. Only on my first week with them, so not sure how well they will go. They also email you and so far I have had 3 in a week, at 75p each,  I look at P/fc as the main one and the others are like little savings pots...they take for ever, but get there in the end

£3.40 cashback for me paid out, so that takes my total to £310.10 - so I've JUST hit the £10 a day! Hooray! 😃

Got a bit in Prolific but I'll cash out tomorrow and start Feb total with it 😊😊

Thank you all for the inspiration and encouragement!

£1.48 Chase Cashback
£7.00 Prolific
£5.00 Shoppix (rounded up from a very small number of points as people in my area are no longer required...)

Ending on £109.76/£155 not bad considering how slow Prolific has been
