£10 a day thread, January part two

I'm so happy to see the thread has been ticking along with so many new people joining us Grin

It's been a shitty couple of weeks for me. I started out the new year with an awful sore throat, and it turns out I have glandular fever, so I've been too exhausted for any serious money making.

I'm actually really enjoying Chip! It's proving to be a great way to stash all the little bits of money from profilic etc. so I can see it actually adding up to something.

This morning I've switched bank accounts (£100 for joining, then £100 if I leave unhappy in six months) and managed to reduce my life insurance policy by £9 a month, and get £85 cashback for doing so via Quidco, so I'm trying to be productive.

Hope everyone is having a good January.

@flirtingwith40 I'm the same, got the email saying I could do mod2 yesterday but despite logging out and in again, can't see it. I've emailed them, waiting for a response.

Don't mind though - am in a good place monitoring, just nervous about switching Grin

MynameisJune · 15/01/2020 21:28

@madasaboxofcats have you emailed the shift manager on slack? The items you're moderating on phase 1 are already pre-moderated hence why things change when you move over.

Patapouf · 15/01/2020 21:29

@justtheonethen fab, that's exciting. This will be my first Appen project! I also have two other projects listed on the page but don't seem to be able to access them (Fletcher Minor and Atascadero) i wonder if its a glitch that means they are still there, and why i haven't had anything for Forester.

moneyshed that's interesting, i've had a couple so far and they are all lower than £5 in value. is there a limit on how many referral codes they will issue?

i'm hoping the ones i have are magic dividend-paying ones!

i just completed a quick task on respondent, hopefully that will be a nice $10.

MoreMoneyPlease · 15/01/2020 21:29

@themoneyshed £40,000 is incredible! Last time I was scared by the betting sites as I found them rather overwhelming Confused

madasaboxofcats · 15/01/2020 21:32

@MynameisJune ooh no I haven't. If I don't get a reply from the person who emailed me yesterday by tomorrow, I'll pm the shift manager on slack. Thanks for that.

Loopyteddy · 15/01/2020 21:33

@justtheonethen I have also qualified for forester but when I click the 'work this' button it says 404 error.

Patapouf · 15/01/2020 21:35

@Loopyteddy I have just emailed them about this, i'm hoping they fix it because my other two projects that i've qualified for have apparently ended!

themoneyshed · 15/01/2020 21:38

@Patapouf

I hope there isn't a limit on trade referral codes because I can put them to good one use lol

Respondent: Nice one, love that site, earned $800+ from there, focus on the BIG BOY studies when they come up that pay over $100. ;)

@MoreMoneyPlease

What was it that scared you on the betting sites? It's like anything where the more you do it the more you get used to it. Matched Betting MATH is absolutely correct so if we can just get you used to the sites (how they look, how they work etc.) then you should be good to go for bringing some MAJOR tax free money into your life in 2020!

Loopyteddy · 15/01/2020 21:38

@Patapouf the same has happened to me too.
I have sent an email as well.

freetrade.io/freeshare/?code=J11665F4OR&sender=ThAI3XHp You should sign up to Freetrade! It’s an app for investing in the stock market with no fees. Plus, when you sign up, we both get a free mystery share!

SilverOtter · 15/01/2020 21:53

If anyone needs a Freetrade link🤗

Lougle · 15/01/2020 21:55

@toastytea when did you join? So far I've only done academy test cases. I haven't got anything paid yet. I hope I do soon!

toastytea · 15/01/2020 21:59

@Lougle have you tried any projects? I must have joined at least a month ago but not really done anything until today. I started the academy but today saw a project which was really quick and got paid a few hours later.

EchoLocation · 15/01/2020 22:03

MoreMoneyPlease I was exactly the same. There's a heck of a lot of information to take in on a bookie's website - I felt very overwhelmed initially. But you get used to it really quickly. Just follow the beginner's guide to the letter, you can't go wrong Smile Enjoy!!

EchoLocation · 15/01/2020 22:04

Sorry @MoreMoneyPlease - didn't tag you above

madasaboxofcats · 15/01/2020 22:07

@flirtingwith40 just spoke to the senior on slack who told me to log out, clear my cache and log back in and see if any change. No change so need email RA queries. Try it and email them if you can't see it either.

Lougle · 15/01/2020 22:09

Maybe I'm getting confused @toastytea, but I thought you had to be invited to test cases?

flirtingwith40 · 15/01/2020 22:15

Thank you @madasaboxofcats I will try that

MoreMoneyPlease · 15/01/2020 22:43

@EchoLocation @themoneyshed Yes, exactly! It was how busy and confusing the sites are that freaked me out. I need to spend some time looking at the sites and getting used to them. Thank you for the referral, I'll sign up tomorrow!

Boobahs · 15/01/2020 22:47

Well I've completed everything Isoftstone and Lionbridge have asked for so far, just a(nother) waiting game now Hmm

I've also made a new email address, got a Monzo account and signed up for Coral and Betfair tonight so I might have a try at MB tomorrow Confused

SpinneyHill · 15/01/2020 23:10

When did Forester start? Both are still showing as hasn't started yet on mine!

Whatsmyname2019 · 15/01/2020 23:21

Talking about freetrade whoever used my code needs to top up £1.00 or me & them won’t get a free share and I won’t get any further free codes !!

Catatemyhomework · 15/01/2020 23:25

I made my first £16.79 tonight on MB. Really pleased ,all though was very nervous to check once I knew the match result. First free bet utilised! Grin

MoreMoneyPlease · 15/01/2020 23:28

Well done @Catatemyhomework!!

AFemaleWoman · 16/01/2020 00:05

I found it overwhelming when I first started. I don't have that many new accounts to open as I've been going almost three years but when I do I have a click about the site before signing up to get an idea if the layout and where to click for footie and horses.

I use oddsmonkey but am considering cancelling as the main reason I have it was for the calculators for the more complex offers further down the line but the last year I've found that I'm able to find the offers myself from the Team Profit Facebook group and my emails. It's the zero commission on smarkets that's keeping me from cancelling.

A tip is to remember to check cashback sites before creating new accounts as you can often make a little extra that way, Coral for example has £39 cashback for signing up and placing a £10 bet. (It was £60 cashback when I signed up) I've made several hundreds on top of my matched betting profits doing this.
