Make £10 per day – July Challenge Complete

At the start of this month I set myself a challenge to try and make £10 per day extra in July, coming to a total of £310. How has it gone? Well…um…July is always one of those months that just doesn’t seem to exist to me. It passes so quickly and I never know what happened – it just disappears. It is a non-entity. This July has been no different – work has been very busy; my social calendar has been a bit more bulked out than usual and I’ve been working so hard to complete this challenge. Whilst it is only 2.30pm, I am going to declare this month over.

Earns so far:
£35 Mystery Shopping
£9.63 Paypal – eBay sales & AppTrailers
£9.75 Mystery Shopping
£15.21 Paypal – eBay sales
£10 Paypal – eBay sales
£7.33 Paypal – eBay sales
£12 Clothes For Cash
£20.89 Paypal – eBay sales and AppTrailers
£10.89 Paypal – Qustodian payout and AppTrailers
£65 Paypal – eBay sales
£5 money off coupons (transferred the money from our joint account)
£70 cash for various things (Facebook sales, eBay collection sales, bagging up coins)
£17.50 Paypal – eBay sales and AppXpert
£4 Mystery shopping
£10.02 Paypal – eBay sales – I had to second chance someone after a buyer didn’t pay

Total: £302.22 / £310

As you can see, I haven’t quite made it, but I’m certainly not going to complain about being £7.78 short of my total. It has been a race to the last minute to get to my total this month, especially since I’m still waiting for a payout of £10 from AppXpert, a bag of clothes delivered to Clothes For Cash and at least £40 from Quidco that has been pushed back to August. I’ve also had a few unpaid item cases opened on eBay this month which has slowed down the progress.

eBay has obviously been the biggest earner for me this month, with a few odds and ends dotted throughout the month. The eagle eyes amongst you might spot that there’s no Swagbucks payouts this month – things have been slow and when I reached enough SBs to cashout £5 in Paypal (1,049), I decided to keep saving for £10 (1,999SBS). I’m quite pleased with my progress this month, so now all that’s left to do is decide how much I would like to make in August.
