£1850 in 3 months???? Mennies Diary

Posts: 493 Forumite
Hi all
I am really trying to make/save £1850 in the next 3 months for a much needed holiday.
Reason being we have just suffered two miscarriages, one in march and then another last week. I really want to go to New York on Holiday in September - when the first baby would have been due. Hubbie is not convinced we can get the money together, I think he just humouring me, but now I feel the challenge has been set. I really think it will give me something to channel my energy, time and thoughts into for a while and the Holiday would finally be something to look forward to.
I work full time and commute to work so dont have much free time Mon - Fri. I can only spare around £40-£50 of my salary per month towards it.
I currently sell on ebay/amazon and will be listing some stuff later today, I do a lot of surveys, paid to clicks and have started entering loads of competitions and am planning a car boot in the summer
Does anyone have an advice on how to reach my target? Thanks

What skills do you have? There's plenty of online services you can easily make that sum of money - ghostwriting, set-up websites.0

whats ghostwriting.:footie:0

Is it where you just write reviews etc on random topics and if they are accepted, you are paid. I'm sure there was a site somehwere recently paying about 50p per review but it is not working.
Btw Mennie, sorry on your miscarriages. Me and my partner lost a baby through miscarriage last July so can sort of relate to how your feeling. Glad you and your husband are keeping strong by planning a trip xLBM - 30/07/09

unfortunately dont really have any of those skills.
I really dont think I am going to reach the target and feel like giving up already.
My daily clicks are only pulling in about 90p per day and they dont always track. cant see this happening some how but thanks to all for suggestions.2014 = New Year, New Me0 -
Read the gambling forum - last week I made £1700 ontop of my salary.
providing you read the instructions it's risk free0 -
Hi Mennie
Sorry to hear about your miscarriages. Don't give up. New York is fantastic and will be worth it, use this as your motivation.
Have a look at the Gambling / freebets loopholes. Also know as matched betting. If you do it correctly you can make at least £1000 in your first month just of free "Welcome" bets.
Read the forum make sure you understand and you know what you are doing before you place the matched bets. Use the forum on here. If you feel if its a bit daunting put you bets up on the forum before you do it. Lots of people will tell you if you are doing right, there's loads of helpful people on here.
Good luck0 -
The matched betting is a very good way of making money but you will have to deposit money before you make money and with only 50 pounds a month you wont make the figures stated above.
have you looked into the AQA reasearcher position, you can work in your own time etc. I dont do this but i know others on here do (other companies include textpert). Or if you feeling up to it you can also do the "naughty" texting too (saucy new job the thread is called)!
Or maybe look into doing odd jobs for neighbours/ family/ friends? wash cars, gardening, cleaning etc. (maybe even tell people the reason? - they might be more willing to help fund your trip).0
