6 months in and still going strong! It's the July earn £10 a day thread!

[Otterses]

Let's try not to fill this one up too quickly

I think everyone had an absolutely smashing month in June, with lots of luck thrown in at the end of it for good measure. I think we're all proving it's possible you can earn £10 a day from the comfort of your own sofa.

I'll pop together an updated list of earning methods later, I haven't had coffee yet

All new joiners are welcome

It was a couple of months for me - I can't see them taking more on at the moment, there's not enough content, really struggling to make much right now. DS is on the waiting list too!

@reddA it's really slow. Isn't it? 🙁

I was really looking forward to getting on Crisp, thought it would be the thing that got me a nice regular income. There isn't much work though, I've had a few times I sat down to it and I wait so long between items for a new one. I'm barely making anything, just £14 this week for about 4-5 hours of effort!

Got a bit desperate and took the Yukon test which I had hoped to not need thanks to Crisp and I failed it at the first part so don't have that back up now.

I am getting my £10 a day thanks to the Inari project but I really need more, I am going to have to start looking at what jobs are around evenings and weekends outside of the house I think unless I get a new Appen project or Crisp picks up.

No offence but I hope crisp don't take anyone else on until the new influx lose interest. It's a bloody nightmare at the moment 🤣

@anxiouswaiting

Have you had a look on RedWigWam? They're advertising for merchandisers for two hours every Thursday again

Losing enthusiasm for Crisp here too.

@anxiouswaiting

And you've got UTest, whatusersdo, intellizoom... there's work out there 😊 I promise.

Just leaving this here as I know some people will sympathise. Doing Fletcher on Appen, losing the will to live!!!

I've been on crisp for the last couple of hours and it hasn't been slow.
One night this week it was slow and I gave up but other than that it's been fine for me.
Is it worth going on early in the morning? I thought about it this morning but laziness won and I went back to sleep.

Can a fellow crispy person tell me what it means when people on slack are saying about things being in api? It all still seems a bit confusing on there sometimes

@ShinyButtons an api is an error message when the tool fails.
It's felt super slow for me. No idea why.

@seizethecuttlefish that one is AWFUL!

@TheLolaMontez I FINALLY GOT MY TAX REBATE !

That puts me on £895 this month, I'll keep ploughing on, but I'm chuffed to bits I met my target.

@whatthewhatthewhat

I think it was you that was wondering why companies aren't taking advantage of women that could work flexibly from home (without selling their bodies or MLM shite!). I think, I might possibly have the beginnings of a solution.

Since going back to work, I've been having a bit of an existential crisis I think. I'm seeing women every day that are financially, victims of men, and a society that doesn't give them viable career options for their circumstances. It's really getting me down, that even in my role, pointing them towards places like this thread is inappropriate, and they haven't got the resources or support to even know where to start.

I know I mentioned a work from home job fair previously, but I think this is a bigger issue than that can fix.

I'm thinking, if it's not a completely shit idea, about starting a charity. I want to be in a position to lobby companies to provide flexible, work from home options. I want to be able to provide laptops and phones and courses to help women have the tools to work from home, for themselves or an employer. MLM's and driving women like square pegs into round holes into jobs like childminding, because it's 'convenient' with small children, is infuriating me. I want to give women options.

I've spent the early hours drafting a proposal I'm going to knock together some surveys and hopefully do some interviews to get some decent data to hopefully back up what I think. I'm going to start with military wives, where unemployment is something ludicrous like 32%, then hopefully be successful enough to branch out more.

Please do tell me if it's an absolutely crap idea before I present my idea to DH and the RAF Benevolent fund I don't want to look like a tit.

I hope that makes sense I'm quite tired now.

Yay! About bloody time @Otterses
I am also very much in favour of your idea - it sounds fantastic and the idea of us having options is a little bit exciting I must say!

I don't know if you will know the answer to this one or not - I got paid for the Noyo task via Payoneer and I only got $2 when it should be $5 - is that normal/their amount for fees? If so it's a bit bloody steep I've not raised it with them yet, thought I'd check here first

Still haven't had any money from Appen! 😡

@Otterses what a fantastic idea! I know from being a sahm on and off for 16 years how difficult it is to find work and even college courses that fit around school hours or are viable options. Not all schools have breakfast clubs or after school clubs so even trying to get to a class at 9am can be hell and most courses have huge fees are inaccessible.

Not to mention the toll not earning money can do to your self esteem.

Anything anyone can do would be brilliant. And you seem to actually be doing something! 👍🏻

Let us know if we can do anything to help!

Does anyone still use this if so I need advice im 32 weeks pregnant a d I applied for the sure start matirnity grant last week I got a text saying they had received my claim and would contact me in 21 days im confused because I thought they send you a letter? 😕Can anyone help?? X

@JessLx19

I think you've posted on the wrong thread you're probably better off posting over on the pregnancy boards. I'm not sure any of us can be much help!

I fell off the thread!

Just jumping on.

I think it is a great idea Otterses. Let us know how it develops please.

@margaritasbythesea

We'll see! I have no idea about starting a charity, it'll be a steep learning curve.

Im new to this site lol, baby brain is kicking in sorry 😅😁X

I always found the charity commission website quite easy when I was secretary to a board of trustees. Maybe that will give you an idea of what to do.

The charity sounds like a great idea. So much talent not being utililised amongst stay at home parents.

There are so many attempts to disrupt the way different industries operate, I'm surprised there hasn't been more of a push to home working.

So many people commute into jobs that could easily be done from home.

Has anyone been paid for 202 or 509 yet?

@JessLx19

Don't worry

If you want any advice on making money on maternity leave or anything feel free to pop back. We all know what a stretch it can be.
