How are you getting on with KDP?
Still only for the one book, which has sold one copy …!! I haven’t find a decent niche yet, had a bit of a brainstorm but after research they were all non starters

Well that's a shame, but thanks for replying! I appreciate it.

Hello all!

I'm revisiting this thread after a particularly poor July where I've earnt....£130 :unsure: It's a bit of a pain that I couldn't draw matched betting out until September next year but I really don't think I'm going to get it to last that long! Although you never know, I've been on here a few times thinking it's the end and I have an OK month that saves it again....!

So I'm going to be looking at some other options again that can bring in the £ relatively quickly, as just need something to tide me over for the next year :p

I wanted to look at other Lionbridge opportunities - I used to the social media evaluation work which I enjoyed and was easy money!

@Jon I looked on the careers page but nothing similar, and I can't see the shopping job either. Have all those opportunities finished do you know?

Yeah would love to do that, but can't see it on the careers page?

I've applied for loads on Appen but either nothing is happening, I'm not getting any work, or the typical thing where I've been told I've been successful, but then haven't heard anything more...!!!!!

Has anyone considered forex trading, especially using algorithms, I do it and have found it helps and once you focus on getting decent money, you soon get bored with the matched betting and move on to using the money to boost your trading account.

With forex trading, how do you find an edge in the market?
There must be a winner and a loser on every trade, how are you going to be win at least 50.1% of those trades? (after spreads and costs).

I am using manual and automated software strategies. The automated software has been more profitable for me to date, with spreads and costs taken into consideration, so I definitely won't be stopping from there.

@MELMADIKANE, I wish you all the best with it. Purely for the purposes of debate, I'm struggling to see where the retail investor finds an edge in forex trading markets. Surely all the value would be arbitraged out by traders/bots/maths gurus?

I'd be more convinced if there was a price anomaly to exploit - like an obscure market such as UK micro caps or Olympic sports.

It's all statistics based really, sometimes you don't have to know the ins and outs of every strategy but be able to profit from it. I did enjoy matched betting but just wanted to use some of my other skills. Bots are automated trading, retail investors choose which strategy to implement, be it trend or counter-trend. You have to find what works for you and stick with it and leave the hype.

I'm back!

Finally took the plunge in January and cancelled my PA membership so no more matched betting for me. As I mentioned in previous posts I just wasn't making any money any more so wasn't worth the time spent doing it.

Need to decide what to focus on next - I did get everything lined up for a blog but having not done anything with it in 12 months, I have to admit I don't have time for that so site/hosting etc has been cancelled.

Hope everyone else is doing well!
