A Personal Challenge

srvr

Thanks for that flower, very nice of you to say. The whole betfair and matched betting gambling loophole is something i have been putting off until i run out of ideas. Most of the free roles are one time use you see, or at least the easy ones are. I think though the fateful day where i run out of excuses is fast approaching

Currently i am racking my brains for this month, so far i think i may struggle to get over £100 but then i thought that last month as well, might be right this time though, LOL.

Hi Srvr,

Just wanted to say well done on your money rasing so far. I am about to embark on a similar journey. I have already started my journal but for now I'm in the 'research' stage. I'm almost through this up your income forum and then based on the various revenue streams I've found out about I shall embark. Keep it going, you are an inspiration.:T:T:T

p.s. if you are documenting it throughouly, can you not sell your journey on ebay

Inspiring! You're doing really well so far - without wishing the year away, I'm looking forward to your December 31st update...

I'm only after £120 by 15th August. I should do it with ease, as I'm about to cash out of a few things, and have some stuff going on eBay this weekend.

It's 'citing. I'm enjoying finding free money

I have to say I have enjoyed this thread also, I am yet another who likes to find sources of free money:D (well who wouldn't say no to free cash lol)

Well done on the amount you have raised already - I'm avidly writing reviews to see if I can earn as much as possible this year

Good luck - will be coming back again and again just to see how you are doing!

Hello srvr and everyone,

Have any of you tried writing for magazines? I started with letter writing and got published virtually every time. You get paid either in cash or a nice present..

Then there are tips, jokes or short articles. And if you send in photos you get treble the amount sometimes.

If you read several issues in advance for research there is a better chance of getting accepted. It can take 3 months or more before you find out and you have to keep looking through each issue. Then take a copy of the published letter to add to your portfolio which you can then use in submitting aritcles.

Also enter competitions in specialist mags. I won many of those whereas rarely won any normal contests..

I haven't done any of these in years but after coming across this site and reading the posts, it will be nice to start up again. I'm writing this and eating a free yoghurt curtesty of one of the posts I read on this site. (buzz agent)

Hi - can you recommend any particular magazines?

Anglea

Hi littleowl,

I used to use a directory that was at the library (sorry I forgot the name now as it was all years ago) but it was aimed at advertisers and listed every magazine and had very good statistics that you could use for target audiences and also how many readers they had as for letter writers and competitions this is a good figure to know.

Here are some ideas for short fillers -

TIPS, JOKES, PHOTOS, LETTERS

Chat, That's life - all those sort of reality mags aimed at women - lots of opportunites but hard as high circulation

Puzzle mags - write your own puzzles - again hard due to circulation levels
Yours - for older people - hard to get published but lots of opportunities
Readers Digest - you can do this online - some high paid opportunites

LETTERS

Hobby/Interest magazines with glossy photos - e.g.hobbies/natural health/expensive home mags

ARTICLES

Personal life stories - Chicken Soup Series - do it online
Spark Magazine - if you are into natural health/environment

GET PUBLISHED, NO PAYMENT

Specialised magazines e.g. there are many creative writing ones that you find the details about in Writers News or Writers Forum magazines in WH Smith

Specialist hobby -I got published in various Sherlock Holmes books.

Publications relating to health conditions.

Newspapers - Letters to the Editor. Very good practice.

PAID FOR PROJECTS

If you are good at crafts or other hobbies there are magazines asking for projects with instructions to be sent to them e.g. dolls house


Hope that some of you will find this interesting. There is such scope nowadays that it would take a whole book to list it all.
