    Just had a reply of the seller about how much you can earn - Here is what he said
    Hi, There is no set amount, some earn lots more than others, and I still don't know why. It is dependant on your connection speed, time spent on net, and referrals gained...


    I emailed several people who he had sold to and they all said the same thing. Probably the key phrase in his reply is "referrals gained". I imagine he earns the majority of his money both from what people pay him to buy the information and from what he gets for referring them. If you can sell this info on to a lot of people like this guy does, you will probably do all right. All the people I emailed only earned while connected to the net and said you don't get much this way and you have to spend a lot of time on the net to earn just a little.

    I do quickwise. pinecone, use rpoints, mutualpoints, greasypalm, I am a mystery shopper, cosmetic tester, test & vote has been crud in my experience. I have just signed up to give blood for medical research, and a few more mystery shop companies.
    I have a website and I am going to put google ads and an amazon link on it.
    I work with a telecoms company and get paid a comission for each new customer and a royalty from their phone usage every month.
    I sporadically sell things on ebay, and I am self-employed as a freelance p.a.

    You have to get in there quick, i.e. sign up for a trial as soon as any email from them hits your inbox. Also had things for the kids to test. I know its not cash in my hand but I must have had a couple of hundreds worth of stuff for nowt;) even cleaning products and protein shakes!

    I always pick up every penny i see on the floor, unless my kids get there first LOL;)

    How do you sign up to give blood for medical research please? And approximately how much do they pay?

    The link for the blood thing is in this thread. I sat down the other evening and worked my way through the thread signing up for whatever I wasn't already involved in (apart from kleeneeze!)
    I am in a business which is network marketing and there IS an actual product and you can make £1000 in the first month if you are prepared to give it a go. One of the products is phones for Orange - can't get more legit than that;)

    I am looking at paying off a big chunk of my mortgage because i am getting ready to move. I have started to sell things on Amazon and this weekend is the big sort out, i am going through the parents loft and my own house to get together things to sell, initially i plan to take it to a car boot sale and see what i can get. I took the copper jar to the bank and amazingly had 70 pounds worth of change so that is the start of the fund. I am also making a monthly over payment, this is my first one and once i am sure it has gone to the correct account i will increase it.

    I am also about to start a full time job and hope to continue my part time work as much as i can make it fir in.
    Mortgage free Start amount feb 2014 227000. Current amount nov 2014 217000.
