Welcome to the week 3 of my new series where I share with you all the ways I have made money on the side and brought in little treats for my family. It’s been a really good but very busy week. I’m trying to be super organised and have bought myself a new planner to keep track of everything. I do keep spreadsheets of all my earnings too which makes filling in my tax return a lot easier.
Some important things to note before I begin.
All earnings from income streams including blogging, surveys, focus groups etc must be declared for tax purposes. I recommend using a spreadsheet to keep track it makes completing your tax return a lot easier.
In the UK prizes are not taxable.
For freebies I will try to include links where I can, lots are time-sensitive offers so may have expired by the time I post.
Earnings
£50 blog income.
£5 Populus Live survey (£2 away from my cash-out point).
£20 cashed out from Pinecone Research.
£11.26 cashed out of Prolific Academic.
£8.26 LINKILIKE.
I’m hoping to have more time for survey sites next week, I’m so close to cashing out points on a few of them.
Wins
Just the one win this week, another Cheesestrings Emoji lunch bag from their daily competition. The competition is running until November if you want to have a go yourself.
Gifts
A PR company sent me these huge Dairy Milk bars as a thank-you for some work I did for them. I don’t think I’ve seen a bar of chocolate this big before in my life. It was definitely a very welcome surprise, the kids were excited as you can imagine.
Blog Reviews
Daisy was excited when some Gel-a-Peel arrived for her along with a notebook for her to decorate. She has wanted to try this for ages.
We are big fans of Kinetic Sand so we can’t wait to try out this Kinetic Rock it’s right up Jake’s street.
I was sent some products from the Zippo range, look out for a competition coming soon.
This Xtrava hair curler looks brilliant, I’m going to test it out this week. There will also be a chance for my readers to win one too.
