WHAT'S THE WORST THING YOU'VE DONE FOR MONEY?
I keep joking with my wife about how one day I will need to write a book about all the rubbish things I have done to earn money in both the online and offline world.
In the offline world it would be easy to say doing a paper round was pretty bad looking back at it. I had one round I would do on a Thursday that paid about £4.40 and involved delivering 128 papers WITH INSERTS!
There's probably a reason you don't see many paperboys and girls around much these days!!
I've also done canvassing on the electoral register which is when you knock on peoples doors and confirm that the occupants who live there are the same as the Council has on their list. I think I got a whopping £1.20 per house doing those but it had to be done during October / November months and I had to do them in some right dodgy areas of Leeds including bloody tower blocks!!!
In the online world it would HAVE to be answering Text questions for ChaCha at 3p a time!! (@auntygeek was lucky in that she got paid a whopping 7p) - I was actually a bit sad when they left the UK as it was quite a steady stream of money, although only about £60-£100 a month and I don't want to even think just how much time it took me to earn that money!
On top of that I suppose I used to do Mystery Shops that paid like £1-£2 sometimes for my report and those clicksites that are around I used think paid me well for my time but looking back at it I have a sort of WHAT WAS I DOING??!??? feeling!!!
What about you then?
