Day 31 – the final day is here, and you’ve survived! And hopefully lined your pockets with some extra money this month. If you’re happy to share how much you’ve made then please do let me know.  Today I want to leave you with a few final websites to sign up to a few more sites that will help you earn in the long run – these are sites that have a bigger payment threshold, so it’ll take a few months to reach payout, but it’s still worth keeping them around.

  1. YouGov, a survey site.
  2. DooYoo, where you’re paid to write reviews.
  3. Fivesquids, where you post jobs you can do for £5.
  4. People Per Hour – various freelance jobs.

There are no Teacher’s Pet options today.

REMEMBER TO CANCEL ANY FREE TRIALS YOU TOOK OUT.

Well, that’s it for March’s Money Making Madness. I hope you’ve all enjoyed it – I will welcome any feedback.  You can read all the March Money Making Madness posts to date here.

Day 30. We’ve all heard of You’ve Been Framed, which shows funny video clips on ITV. Did you know that you can get £250 if you clip is selected and shown on tv? I’ve got a ton of funny cat videos I’ve filmed on my iPhone, and I’m sure you have something similar.

  1. Upload any of your funny videos to You’ve Been Framed here.

Teacher’s Pet – these are a few optional tasks to help you earn that little bit more today:

Viewsbank host the following competitions weekly or fortnightly to win £5 added to your account balance. As the payment threshold is only £6, spend a few minutes entering them all. (Seen this before? This has featured as Teacher’s Pet two other days, but this counts as a new week).

  • Pet picture of the week here.
  • Holiday picture of the week here.
  • Worst parking picture of the fortnight here.
  • Joke of the week here.

Day 27 and we are going to tackle the books, DVDs, games and CDs that you’ve tried to get rid of but you’re still stuck with. Gather them all up and we’re going to trawl through the “we buy it now” websites – you get very little for most items, if they’re accepted, so compare the prices paid across all sites and choose who to send your items to – you may want to break them into a few places.

  1. Zapper (includes books). Reviewed here.
  2. Ziffit (includes books). Reviewed here.
  3. Music Magpie.
  4. Fatbrain (books only).
  5. We buy books (books only).

Package up your items to send off, print off any labels and arrange to get them delivered to the Post Office or nearest Collect Plus depot this week.

Day 24 – March Money Making Madness http://fromalditoharrods.com/day-24-mmmm/ http://fromalditoharrods.com/day-24-mmmm/#respond Mon, 24 Mar 2014 07:00:35 +0000 http://fromalditoharrods.com/?p=1366 Day 24

Yesterday you should have found unwanted items around the house to sell, so today we’re going to look at where you can sell your unwanted jewellery quickly. If you didn’t put aside any to sell then move straight for the Teacher’s Pet tasks.

  1. Weigh your gold and silver jewellery.
  2. Log on to Hatton Garden Metals and arrange to send off your jewellery.
  3. Package it up, include the packaging slip and take it to the Post Office this week.

Hatton Garden Metals are, in my opinion, one of the best “we buy your gold” companies out there. I’ve sent in gold to them 3 times, and every time I’ve been paid the best rate (you’re shown the rate before you agree to send in your gold) and paid within 2 working days of sending off the gold.

Teacher’s Pet – these are a few optional tasks to help you earn that little bit more today:

Today’s Teacher’s Pet is signing up to Bubblews. Bubblews is a content writing platform where the advert revenue is shared with you. You’re allowed to write 10 “blog posts” a day, each one must be over 400 characters. People tend to write about anything and everything, and there are 15 categories to choose from. You make money for gaining “likes” and comments, so it is important that you spend some time connecting with other users and commenting on their posts and hitting the like button. Payout is at $50, and Laura, who told me about Bubblews, was able to hit $50 in one week recently.

Day 23 – March Money Making Madness http://fromalditoharrods.com/day-23-mmmm/ http://fromalditoharrods.com/day-23-mmmm/#respond Sun, 23 Mar 2014 07:00:51 +0000 http://fromalditoharrods.com/?p=1364 Day 23

Day 23 – another Sunday is here, and you know what that means? Time for another Sunday Sort Out! Today is all about finding those random things you keep meaning to sell, but never quite get around to it – those things that need to go to separate places to be sold, etc.

So today’s task is to go and collect all these items from around your house and arranging to collect all those items you’ve been asking friends and family to put aside for you. This includes:

  • Old mobile phones
  • Used ink cartridges
  • Broken jewellery or jewellery you no longer want
  • Foreign currency including coins
  • Old (including broken) electronics.

Throughout the March Money Making Madness boot camp, we will be looking to sell each of these on.

Teacher’s Pet – these are a few optional tasks to help you earn that little bit more today:

If you’re still raring to go after finding all of your items to sell, anything you want to sell because they’re new, or still working, photograph and list on Facebook (guide here) or eBay.

Day 22 – March Money Making Madness http://fromalditoharrods.com/day-22-mmmm/ http://fromalditoharrods.com/day-22-mmmm/#respond Sat, 22 Mar 2014 07:00:56 +0000 http://fromalditoharrods.com/?p=1393 Day 22

Day 22 nicely coincides with free eBay listing, so no prizes for guessing what’s on today’s agenda. You can view the details of the free listing weekend here, but the basics are that you need to be invited (sometimes those invited don’t get the email, so try to list something and see if it is free) and limited to 100 items with a start price of £1 or more.

  1. Photograph items for eBay
  2. List items

A great tip is to price your items high (or the amount you’re happy to receive) on Saturday for a 1 day listing, then relist them on Sunday for 7 days, priced a little cheaper.

There are no Teacher’s Pet tasks today.
