Alix's Money Earning Diary

[RedAlix]

EDIT: NEW TARGETS!!

I kinda got lost track of where I was with my online earnings so I have decided to start again with a fresh new target.

I am going to try and max out my 2 TSB bank accounts (£2000 each) then after than I will attempt to max out my 123 Santander account (£20,000!)

These amount are because TSB pay 5% interest on balances up to £2000 and the 123 account is 3% interest on balances between £3000-£20,000.


I am not far off my TSB accounts targets, they are currently £1161 and £1355. Also have just over £3000 in the 123 account (just to keep in the 3% interest band)

(I currently owe my Dad around 6k for building work but he said to keep the money in my account till I can afford to pay it back as I may as well earn some interest off it! My Dad is great )

Currently making most my money from matched betting but still doing a few sites like swagbucks for amazon vouchers.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I thought I would join you all with your money earning diaries

My first target is £500 before August so I can send my daughter on holiday with her grandparents. (We would love to go too but my husband has just started a new job and isn't allowed holiday during the school holidays)

I'm doing this by doing swagbucks and gift hulk, occasionally I use inbox pounds when I remember!

I've recently monetised my blog so feel free to have a read

I have my own business which is not doing well at the moment but I think I'll have good go at making it work again before I decide to close, which would be a shame as I've been running it for over 7 years.

I have some bits to sell of ebay as well as having a facebook selling page for all our old baby stuff.

Another one that's pretty good at the moment is giffgaff, as well as having a cheap mobile I also make money by using their forums. I've also ordered some sim cards to try and give out as for everyone I get to sign up we both get £5!

My current totals are

Swagbucks - 6848 (next payout I'm aiming for is 9399 for £50 paypal)
Gifthulk - 3640 (next payout I'm aiming for is 5000 for $5 paypal)
Inbox pounds - £11.96 (payout at £20)
Giffgaff - £50 (aiming for £20 a month - pay out is start of June)
ebay - 0 (I currently have 2 items to sell)
facebook - 0
Business - 0
Adsense - 0 (it said I made 97p the other day, but I'll update that when the figures are confirmed)

I think that's it for now.. I'll update when I can

Sounds a good target.
Great to have something to work towards.

Thank you

I also think I'll set a target of number of products I update on my website a day. I'll start with 10 a day but aim to do more if I have time. I do find I get distracted with swagbucks as its so easy! lol

I've been updating car aerials today - http://www.kpautomotive.co.uk/exterior-aerials-c-770_689.html

I'm also thinking about getting rid of kpauto car parts. I don't get that many visitors to that site and hardly any sales. i prefer the look of it though compared to kpautomotive. maybe I'll have a good think about that.

Thanks for letting me know. I don't have any errors showing for me. I'll look into it.

It works for me! It's a shame to give up your business after 7 years, do you know why it's not doing so well now?

 

[Jon]

Hmm..On the laptop the page appears fine

on my iphone and iPad i get a white page with SQL errors

 

[RedAlix]

How odd. I wonder if my website needs to be set to be shown on ipads/mobiles.

 

[RedAlix]

29 items updated (only 4000ish to go hahaha .... :-[)

Thanks.

I don't know. I think its because I don't put so much effort in as I used to, there seems to be lots of these ppc sites that you can make easy money from and I find them distracting!

Setting these targets will hopefully get me back on to track. I've updated 40 products now so I'm working through these ones a little bit quicker than I expected.

You Giffgaff payments impress me

That seems to be quite a payout for zero money on your part

Is it quite a lot of work to earn that much?

Not at all, its so easy its crazy.

I make sure i log in to their forums every day, read a few posts give a bit of kudos (their form of like button) and post something every now and then!

I got my sister to join up and she went on there one day and posted one thing and got £1 for that!

I have read about one guy on there who earned £13000 in payback a 6 month period (I believe that was mainly from handing out sim cards as you get £5 from them when someone signs up)

I only pay £10 for a monthly goody bag that gets me 500 calls, unlimited texts,1gb internet and free calls to giffgaff numbers. I'm making more that that a month in payback :-D

 

[Jon]

I need to get in on this Giffgaff kudos thing

well I would like to - Just don't think I have enough time to dedicate to that as well

seems like a VERY good way of paying your mobile bill each month. A lot like how I use QuickThoughts on the iPad to pay for my netflix subscription every month

Seems to be fixed or something as it works fine for me. I use Firefox Browser.

 

[RedAlix]

Its odd this error problem .. i wonder what could be causing it for some people but not others.

 

[Jon]

I only see it on iOS devices

It's fine on my laptop

At a guess because it is an SQL error it is to do with how your database of products are being presented to safari
