Anyone up for an earn £10 a day challenge this year?

[Otterses]

I was wondering if anyone would like to join me truth be told I really need the support!

Having DS has reduced my savings, and ability to save now that I'm paying for childcare. So my aim this year is to make £3650, or £10 a day which sounds far less terrifying.

I just thought this would be a great idea to share ideas for earning extra money and cheering each other on. Way better than just staring at a spreadsheet.

Soooooo here it goes.

Day One - £33.37/3650

£22.87 matched betting, and £10.61 Leapforce.

Just applied for Lion Bridge and Leap Force! On the off chance I pass the exams for either one..!

Tell me about uTest??

I just signed up to uTest have no idea what I'm doing!!

I've been watching this thread with interest. @otterses I've been on the leapforce website but it makes no sense to me at all. I've clicked on something that says search engine evaluator but I'm not actually sure what that is. Is that what you do? Is that what I need to sign up for?

How long did it take for you to find out if your application was successful on Leapforce?

I've signed up to UTest and have an invite for a cycle, but NO idea what I've agreed to!

I've just taken the time to read it properly and realised its a 'training' case. I think its beyond my scope in terms of ability! And seems like alot of work.

I'm the same with uTest I have no idea and the tutorials look really difficult I think you need a more than basic knowledge of computing. Sadly I don't have it.

Has anyone had any prolific surveys I have been checking since Friday and not had any??

CourageCalls Prolific haven't been very prolific since Friday night/Saturday morning for me.

I think Prolific just depends on if/when someone wants some research. It's a bit 'pot luck'. Tends not to be at a weekend (though I had 2 Sunday, but very rare)

Ok guess my first day (over £8) was a one off. I had hoped it would be £10 a week.

@hiptobeasquare is VYPR worth doing?

I just signed up for Leapforce but just submitted a form, including CV. There was no test, is that still to come?

Otterses it is a bit!

I've just received the invite to their training and I am none the wiser. At the end, it says you have to complete it within the specified time, but I can't see what that is. I imagine it is a 'cycle', but I haven't yet found out how long that is.

I haven't got time to do it now though, so if it expires, it expires.

I listed 7 things on ebay. They have become a lot less flexible recently. I prefer to sell wit the Buy it Now option, and I used to get a certain amount of these free per month. Not any more, it seems.

I'll try to post a bit of a LF guide later when I get in

Oh love this thread! I've been thinking about MB for a long time but maybe it's now time to have a go!

Fab thread, thank you.

Today i earnt £5 on What Users Do and 37p on Qmee!

If anyone is interested i have a referral link for What Users Do...
app.whatusersdo.com/app/apply?referral=246529

What do you have to do Spock?? On what users do

And a link for Qmee which is a survey site
qm.ee/28838AAC

I also love User Testing but no referral program sadly :-(

For W U D and User Testing you test websites. You need to install screen capture software and talk out loud while you complete tasks on the website. I love it and average £100 a month between the two while DC are at school around other commitments.

Do you have to have broad computer knowledge as I looked at uTest which I think is similar and it was so complicated
Thanks

No, they just want normal people. Intellizoom is a good one too. I have tried lots but they are my top 3. Work is fairly sporadic but i normally do one 20 min test a day which is £5 or $10 depending on company.

DH has thrown yet another spanner in the works.

He's been promoted, which is fantastic, but it means another posting somewhere else in the country. He's coming home so we can discuss options tonight.

It's a pain in the arse, because it's not expected, and means I have to spend months again trying to find a new job, sort DS's nursery, and I guess use my extra earnings to supplement this period.

It's also a total ball ache as I'm not sure the role I'm going to be moving into in March is something I can pick up easily in another area, or if they'll have different requirements.

Sigh... I'm going to need to seriously up my earning extra game. Bloody hope LB get back to me giving me the thumbs up to work for them!

@tentative3 It’s a slow one, but really easy. You just give tick box opinions on products/shops etc. Its worth it to get a few extra pounds for not much effort. :)
