December went very well for me. Hit my Amazon goal (bought my husband his own switch) and my main website made great ad revenue.

January will be quieter of course, but I'll just use it as an opportunity to update old content and publish some new posts.

 

[EdibleDormouse]

I have plans for boosting my earnings this year, but I'm starting small with achievable goals. So £500 for me from NON-MUSICAL SOURCES.

 

[Sherliarty]

£500 for January

 

[BreeziOG]

£200 for the holiday savings pot! Not counting Crisp, as usual, 'cause that's my 'main' income these days.

 

[Februarycat]

£200 for me please.

 

[Karonher]

I'll go for £300 as January is always quiet.

 

[Forest91]

I am going to go for £110 again. Though I hope that I can do better then that.

Happy New Year Katy and everyone!

Please can you pop me down for £600? I have my tutoring but I also have loads of stuff to sell on Vinted and I am hoping to have some time to get on DA this month too.

 

[NRS]

£300 for me this month

Matched Betting £5.77
Amazon Shopping Panel £8.00

£13.77/£300

£500 again for me, though uTest is usually a dead zone in January so I'm not hopeful.

On the plus side, I succeeded in the 1p Challenge in 2023 so managed to save £667.95 which is miraculously still untouched in a Space in my Starling Bank app - for a rainy day. I'll be doing it again this year. Does anybody else do the 1p Challenge?

 

[Doobee]

I'll start with a meagre £50

I do, but I do it as a weekly standing order of £12.92 (the total divided over 52 weeks), rather than having to log in every day and move pennies about.
