I have tried hundreds of money making ideas and tend to cull those that take too long to payout or pay badly (mystery shopping being a case in point, used to be quite a good earner, now it’s too much work for too little pay for me). I started back in 2001 collecting Beenz (anyone remember them?!) and became addicted. My best ever earner was matched betting (made £2k plus) but I decided to get out while the going was good. Great to see what everyone else is up to!
