My moneymaking journey...

[Andrew]

Just remember every pound you earn is a pound you didn't have yesterday. So every month you're richer even if only by a few pounds

Thanks. I am trying to remember this and not get to carried away with thinking "what if.."

 

[Queen Jess]

Now I am not panicking about the amount I am earning, I have started to have a good review of what I do. Gone back to the roots of where I started and having a good spring clean of the surveys.

Curious cat has gone as I never got anything from that. I want to jettison OnePulse as I never get any paid ones anymore, but slightly reluctant to delete the app as I am so close to payout. Re signed up to global market and hoping to do better this time as my profile has changed and they have an app (I love a good app..) and going to have another look into swagbucks as I was halfway to earning a gift card. Trying to log into one poll a bit more often to complete the £40 (am halfway through) and then I might be more motivated with the new lower £20 limit.

Might give myself little stress free tasks to do on the survey side for some motivation, but not quite decided what they should be yet. Could be as simple as cashing out for those I am getting closer on to concentrate my resources.

Still doing matched betting as a sideline although doing more casino stuff at the moment to see where I can get to... Currently on £0 though.. as soon as I get a couple of quid I seem to lose it again. Got £100 though on the free bet side of things.

Curious Cat - gives me £20 a month. But it helps if you're less than honest with your survey responses! Onepulse is good for $10 a month minimum but you need to sign up for every group on there so that you get sent stuff. And do it straight away as the pulses get filled quickly!

I've decided to take a leaf out of Katykickers book and cash out all my surveys at the start of the month. Means I have another few weeks to earn some money here.

Going to take things very slowly and have just 3 goals at a time:
1. Panelbase - get to £10+ so I can cashout (I have £9 in there so should be easy)
2. Global testmarket - get to my first cashout (£5)
3. Onepoll - get to £25 (currently on £22.5)

Update on targets. Decided to have 5 rather than 3 as a variety is more helpful since the number of surveys vary widely. Also already met the Panelbase target, so added a new one:
1. Panelbase - get to £10+ so I can cash out (I have £9 in there so should be easy)
2. Global testmarket £1.66 / £5
3. Onepoll £22.7 / £25
4. MB £137 / £150
5. PA £13.08 / £20
6. Swagbucks - 630 / 800 points

 

[Queen Jess]

Another update.. already there on MB so added the next £50 on. Am liking these small little targets as it keeps me very focused with much less faffing around, but as I have no date on them I am not stressed out by whether I am reaching them quickly enough.

2. Global testmarket £1.79 / £5

Really interesting way you are going about your aims here

Seems to be working really well!!

Really interesting way you are going about your aims here

It is working well. In case it helps anyone else, my problem is I have random pockets of time - e.g. when baby decides to sleep on me for 3 hours, but am generally time poor and often have a sick baby to look after. If I set monthly monetary challenges, I find them quite stressful and feel bad when I am not making enough progress. I also get carried away with long-term plans with my, "well if I could just make another £100/month then.." thoughts, which stresses me out more and I just feel worse for not meeting targets. Generally, I end up wasting a lot of time when stressed trying to think what to do.

So, although I have a vague long-term want, I have decided to forget all this and just create very small achievable aims with no end date. This means I have removed the stress of a deadline and if I do nothing for days as I am busy or have a sick baby, then it doesn't matter. It also focuses my mind to just look at 5 things at once which means I waste less time and just work through each aim in turn and if there are no surveys I move onto the next one. If I have extra time I work on other sites that I want to work on. It also has the added bonus of variety as surveys can be a bit dull when you do a lot of them. The aims cycle through different sites so I should get less bored.

Doing little things makes me feel I am achieving things as I cross them off my list and small amounts should add up over the month.

At the moment I am actually enjoying it rather than feeling stressed, so seems to be working!

Love the way you have set your targets. Great idea to do it that way and makes it easy to see how you are progressing on each site earning wise.

I like Yoursaypays, you have to log in everyday to check, cashout is at £20 by PayPal . Sometimes they do telephone interviews. I have cashed out 3 times

Thanks might give it a go. Thing is that I take so many surveys I think I do a lot of their ones through other platforms like swagbucks!
