Introduction quoted from 2012 topic

Right who's with me?

I am setting myself a challenge of generating/ making savings of Ј2012 in 2012. I read the millionaires challenge and Make Ј10,000 challenge, but they are just a tad out of my reachtitle=Stick

I work full time, have a loooong commute and various other commitments so just dont have the time to commit to those amounts.

This year I have kept track of the additional money I have made/saved and my tally is at Ј1445.69. So Ј2012 shouldnt be tooooo much of a stretch.

This year I set up a spreadsheet and had the following catagories for each month, but you track it however you like.......
Selling - Ebay, Amazon Market Place, Music Magpie, Local Paper, Boot Fair, Swapping, Green Metropolis
Surveys - You Gov, one poll, Pure Profile
Paid to Click - Archer Fish, Pigsback
Cashback - Top Cashback, R Points, Free Fivers, Quidco, FatCheese, My Shopping Rewards, Misc
Mystery Shopping - Grass Roots, Gap Buster, Retail Eyes
Freebies - Applied for, Blagged, Multibuys, Chance, Try me free
Coupons - Applied for, Blagged, chance
Loyalty - Club Card, Nectar, local garden centre, east coast, cafe nero, advantage cards
Complaints - Train delay, voucher, cheque, product
Trials - Tesco, Boots
Misc - unfranked stamps, overtime, bonus, competition wins, money found on floor, Interest
I will provide a monthly update.
Is this anything obvious I have missed and who is with me?

I was not confident in 2013 that I would make Ј2013 but I got there.
I am confident I can get to Ј2014 this year.

No spreadsheet this year. I will add members names to the second post here and if people want to have a running total they can do. I'm not doing a spreadsheet because in 2013 we had over 80 members sign up and then disappear so its not worth my time.

Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/130929600411085/ (closed group)

List of websites or things that could be done/useful
Taken from my 2013 spreadsheet, some I'm keeping, some I'm ditching
What works for me, might not work for you

Best answers:

  • Approx targets for month/week
    2014 divided by 12 (month) = Ј167.84
    2014 divided by 52 (week) = Ј38.74
    Please do not worry if you don't hit the exact amount each month. You may earn more on some months than on others.
    Even if you just make an extra Ј5, that is brilliant, well done.
