Hello and welcome everybody to our first challenge of 2020 :hello:

This is the 149th month of this challenge, which was first started by Batgirl, in September 2007. Here is a link to the original thread as I am sure some of you are interested to read where it all began.

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=542835

Thanks to Batgirl for starting it and for everyone who has kept it going for more than 11 years! I would especially like to thank Aesop who ran the thread for the last few years.

The original purpose of this challenge was to help people to try and make an extra £10 a day on top of their normal income to help things along. Ie paying off debt, making savings, paying for holidays, overpaying mortgages etc.

That is exactly what this challenge is about, attempting to make extra income on top of your normal income to help you wherever you need it.

People start the challenge by setting a goal of £1 a day. Then when they find they are smashing this regularly, they up it to £5 a day. Some of us gluttons for punishment go for £10 a day. It really is entirely up to you. We only ask you to post what your goal is to help you keep motivated. Some days you make more and some days you make less, but aim for extra at the end of the month.


What cannot be added:
Wages from your main job

What can be added:
Overtime
Income from a second job
Daily clicks
Interest
Vouchers
Mystery shopping
Survey income
Profit from selling on eBay etc
Cashback
And lots of other ways too. Check out the boost your income guide on this website for lots of ideas.

The idea is that everyone posts how they are making extra money and these shared ideas help all of us to learn new ways to help cut debt or earn/save money.

This board can move pretty quickly, so be sure to subscribe and read it regularly.

I know a lot of us will be penny-pinching in January, so why not kick start the new year by bringing in some extra money?

So who wants to join us?

    Haven't been around as doing lot of overtime.

    But not sure if any of you who use apps know about ZIPZERO?

    it's a mobile app for android and apple. You upload receipts and earn 1p for every £1

    Maximum you can earn in a month is £50.

    The money earnt can only be sent to council tax, utilities or mobile phone companies, sky bills.

    I have cashed out about £10 towards my water bill. Now going to put towards my leccy bill

    I have now downloaded this which was recommended by Aesop, took some photos of receipts from the last week or so whilst uploading them to shoppix, and now have £1.74 pending which I'll let build up for my sky bill as OH pays the rest, I am a fan so far, so thanks for the info Aesop :beer:
