I play several daily lotteries. They haven’t been very lucrative so far, but you never know… and it’s only a few minutes out of my day to check. These are the ones I use:

Raffall – install the app and watch a 30 second video each day for 1 ticket in the weekly £1000 draw. Follow the link and I get a bonus. 🙂

Pick My Patch – pick patches of land near you on the map, one patch is chosen each day and your prize depends on how much you check the site. You add 50p each day and I’ve personally won £6 on this plus a friend has won £17.50. Use my link to earn yourself a £5 bonus to start with (plus I get 15 extra patches!).

That’s it for now, but I may well do an update in the future, I’m sure there are other free draws I’m yet to find. 🙂

I made a fair amount from surveys in September, this is a list of the most interesting and best paying sites I’ve found so far.

Swagbucks – I earned £32.69 in September with this site, but it did take a bit of effort on top of completing the paid surveys, I’ll do a full post on this site in the future. Follow this link and I’ll get a bonus!

Branded Surveys has been a nice earner, I made £23.24 in September. There’s a mini poll each day which you get a few points for, then a bonus if you complete it 10 days in a row. I get a small bonus if you sign up using this link.

Inbox Pounds – I earned £11.47 in September, again not all from surveys so I’ll do a post on this one in the future too. Follow the link to give me a bonus!
https://www.inboxpounds.co.uk/r/174086364&s=7

You Gov – I earned £5.10 through this site in September. The surveys are interesting and you feel like you’re contributing by completing them as they’re often cited in news articles. Main surveys pay 50p a time and bonus mini surveys get you 10p. Again, follow the link to give me a bonus!

https://yougov.co.uk/refer/rS9jTKDMUFOpXvhom7xhdw/

There are others I’ve been using, but I need longer to decide how good they are, so there will be another post in the future. 🙂

These apps are slightly different to the ones in part 1 and aren’t strictly micro jobs, but I think they’re similar enough to put them together.

The first is Job Spotter. This is an app run by Indeed and pays you to photograph job adverts in shop windows. The pay depends on various factors outlined in the app, but I’ve found I tend to get around 30-50p per job (although I have had a lot paying 10p or less and a handful paying around £1.50). This might not seem like a lot, but it adds up (although it only pays out in Amazon vouchers) and I earned £67.39 in September (£109.10 in total), so find it on the app store or check out the link.

Streetbees has surveys and tasks but is very different to any of the others. The surveys are more like a conversation with a bot than anything else and a lot of them are not paid but can lead to a paid task in the future. I started out really well with this earning £10 in my first couple of weeks, but I only received £1 in September. I do have several things I’m waiting for confirmation on though, so I expect another £10 to carry forward in to October. The tasks and surveys are interesting and allow much more expression than traditional survey sites. Look for it on the app shop or follow the link below and use my code ( 78969Z ) for a £1 bonus (I think!).

Quick Thoughts is a more traditional survey site with paid tasks too. The surveys are varied and interesting and give a set 50p each time, regardless of length and the supermarket tasks I did for £2 a go were quick, simple and could be performed at a variety of locations. I earned £23.50 in the first 2 weeks of September (£30 over all) HOWEVER, I got locked out of my account when I tried to cash out my 3rd £10 (Amazon) payment (due to suspected fraudulent activity) and have little help from them in regards to resolving this. A look on the app store shows I’m not alone, so be aware that you may not get paid. I’ll let you search the app store for it yourself if you want to give it a try anyway.

20 Cogs is different again, you earn cashback from sign ups to various sites, subscriptions, etc. With this one you do sometimes have to pay out, but the rwards more than cover this (eg sign up to a 99p trial and receive £4 cash back). It’s quite unique and is simple and easy to make money from, I have made £30.50 in September with an outlay of £2. Look for it on the app store or follow the link if you’d like me to earn a bonus worth 5% of whatever you earn.

That’s it for now, but I’m testing out other money making apps so there may well be a follow up soon 🙂

One of the best ways I’ve found for making a bit of extra cash is micro jobbing. I’ve tested out a few of these over the past month or so and these are my experiences so far.

By far my best earner has been BeMyEye. I earned £68.40 in September (£74.60 total so far) completing a variety of tasks including documenting street addresses, checking for products in supermarkets, queue management audits, bar mystery visits and promotional material checks. The tasks are largely simple and take less than 15 minutes to perform with payments from £3-£16 per job. Find it on the app store or click the link below, and if you sign up using my code (npp2nv) you’ll get a £1 bonus on your first job!

https://invitation.bemyeye.com/invitation/npp2nv?lc=en_GB

Roamler is another good one. I’ve done similar audits plus really simple menu checks and earned myself £30.25 in September (£32.25 in total). There’s no invite incentive for this one, but the link’s below or you can just search on the app store.

https://www.roamler.com/en/main/join

StreetSpotr is basically the same again. With this one I earned £24 in September (£32 total). There’s no bonus with this, so just search the app store or follow the link below.

https://app.streetspotr.com/en

Next up is EasyShift. This one I found a week or so back and have only performed one task which was a quite involved audit of a whole section in a supermarket. The whole task took around 15 minutes and paid £6. I’ll be taking on more tasks in the near future, unfortunately there are none near me at the moment though. Agsin, there’s no sign up bonus with this one so just head to the app store or follow the link.

Field Agent is also along the same lines, but the jobs aren’t always location specific (ie you can carry out the task in any branch of a particular chain), but I’ve found you have to be quick when they send out invites as spots go quickly. With this one I’ve only made £8.50 so far but I’m optomistic I’ll be able to make more. Once more there’s no sign up bonus so search the app store or follow the link.

https://fieldagent.co.uk/for-agents/

Finally, worth a mention are ClickAndWalk, Findyr and AppJobber. I’ve not had any success with these so far, but they may turn out to be good. I’ll let you find those yourself on the app store if you fancy trying them out.

That’s all the ones I’ve tested so far, but do check out part 2 with some slightly different money making apps. 🙂

Thanks for joining me!
