Hello all. I'm 45 and have been thinking for a while it's time I sorted out my money, especially putting aside something for the future with a view to retiring early or downscaling at an early age - health reasons (both me and OH) are a part of this. So I guess I'm interested in earning a bit more money. So far I've dabbled with surveys on various sites, just had my first £6.30 from Prolific which is a start, but obviously I'm looking for more and better ways to earn. I've also started a blog, but it needs a lot of tampering with before it's ready. I'll try and keep a diary in the diary sub-section.

Thanks John. I'm still at the stage of fiddling with spreadsheets to make sure I haven't missed anything, but I'm almost ready to start the diary!

Hello everyone. I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Carl and I'm 30. I have a full time job but I'm wanting to make some extra money on the side as I'm looking to buy a house with my girlfriend next year so trying to build our savings up.
I started match betting around 2 months ago and only used £100 to start I'm now upto £350 profit. Started slow but it's getting there. I set up a separate bank account to keep that money away from my normal money. I would recommend this so you dont get tempted to take the profit as you want to build your bank balance up.
I've also now done a few tasks on task360. Really enjoy these and make a few quid from being out and about.
Thanks and happy earning :)

Hey [member=4101]Carl3655[/member]

Great to have you here

Like you I work full time but don't let that make you think you can't earn some serously big cash each month online. I easily clear £2000+ a month and that's only with blogging and matched betting so the money is there to be made :)

Hello everyone

I am Mr Majika. I am a competent mystery shopper, having been doing this for over 11 years now. I am also an experienced and regular matched bettor and AP'er. This is where I make most of my income, clearing £600+ per month. I hope I can add value and learn a little along the way.

:)

Hi
I'm just testing the water for Match Betting I am no longer working, gave up work after 40 years , so a while before I get my pension. I do Mystery Shopping but thought I would give this a go to boost my income so I don't have to go back to work £400 a month would do nicely.

Hi everyone! I have just joined the forum but have been browsing over the past few months. I have just left my job due to stress and health reasons and am looking forward to making money from home. I would be happy with £500 a month, but will see how it goes initially.

With the advice on the forum and blog, I have tried matched betting over the past couple of months very slowly and am hoping to do this more now that I will have the time. I've joined the well paying survey sites which worked for me, and have got myself an iPhone to do the apps tasks whilst I'm out and about. I haven't started these yet, but just wanted to check where it says time '20:00' does that mean 20 hours? There was a mystery shop task which required the initial part to be done at home, so I hope it's not 20 minutes, otherwise it would be tight to get to the location from home!

I'm sure I will have questions as I try out new things, and it's great to have this forum where everyone is so helpful! Thanks to everyone who contributes here! I'm very happy to be a part of this great community :)

Hello

I have just joined the forums with an aim of boosting my income to repay debt. I've done my first two qualifying bets and a free bet with the help of PA so hoping to get funds from this! I already do Prolific Academic, Swagbucks, One Poll and a few others but hoping stalking these boards can help speed things up!

Hello

I have joined the forum as things have been tough recently. I took voluntary redundancy from my last job last year and have been looking for work since then. Things have changed again recently as my Dad has become unwell and I am now his main carer. Money is tight so looking for something to supplement my income and not have to rely on benefits. Looking forward to trying Matched Betting and the mystery shopping apps! :)

Fantastic to have you on here but sorry to hear you have been having some hard times

If money is tight make sure you check out the beginners guide toolkit on the blog as you can earn an easy £700-£1000+ a month from that alone

Welcome to you [member=4169]Buzzybee_77[/member] - I started out avoiding benefits 4 years ago and now make around £3,000 a month working from home full time. Anything is achievable with enough time/effort/motivation.

Hi!

I'm kirsty, I'm a supply teacher, so throughout the holidays I've been looking for a way to make a bit of money as it's time where I can struggle for cash more!im really interestedf in to apps such as roamed and field agent and the matched betting. Though I'm a little more wary of the matched betting so I'm going to read all of your suggestions before I go anywhere near it.

Such a great idea for a website, thanks!

Hey [member=4188]Misskyoung23[/member]

Fantastic to have you on here..

You've found a great resource here so I would head over to the blog and make sure you check out the beginners guide toolkit as you can earn an easy £700+ a month from that without any trouble.

Matched Betting - Honestly, there is no reason to be wary! IT's Risk Free, it works (I wouldn't promote it on this site if it didn't ) and we have a HUGE matched betting thread with all sorts of people doing it (myself included)

I would click the banner above and do the FREE TRIAL at lease. You will make around £45 RISK FREE for a few minutes work and will have your hand held all the way. You will then see how easy it is and can decide if you want to carry it on or not

Any questions just ask away!!!

Thanks [member=1]Jon[/member] ! :) :)

It's just seems amazing that more people don't know about it!

I do remember my formed taking about it a few years ago. I'll have a read of the threads now.

Thanks!

Welcome [member=4188]Misskyoung23[/member] nice to see you here! Don't forget you need to be registered as self employed and will need to declare all monies, apart from matched betting which is tax free of course :)

Matched betting always sounds hard but really it's not bad at all once you get started!

Hi [member=920]katykicker[/member]

I believe I've seen your blog? It looks really useful. I'm going to spend a bit of time reading when I'm by my laptop!
How long have you been making money online?

The matched betting is really intriguing me, do you have to keep all the money there though in order to keep betting? Or can you claim the money you've made immediately?

Thanks,

K
