It's been a while since I made a post about earning extra money, without the extra effort. I work from home, I create and manage a website and social media accounts for a commercial vehicle dismantler, and have my own small crafts business LAPapercuts . I've four young children, 6 and under (my youngest is just 11 months old), I keep a house and all the inbetween and I still find time in the small minutes of the day to earn some extra money in this way. It really is virtually effortless for me now, but you really need to find out what works for you! What works for one person may not suit another. Here is a list of my absolute favourite apps and sites which can help earn you a little pocket money. I do have several others that I will dip in and out of, but these are the ones I use regularly: Panelbase.net Through Panelbase.net I've had not only surveys which earn you a designated amount, I've had product trials (where you earn money for testing products), I'

SMA Pro 6+months Follow-on Milk trial with TheInsidersIreland

Whilst most of my blog posts are on ways to make an extra income without the extra effort, I’ve recently been taking part in a few product trials at home which I have thoroughly enjoyed. One of which is my first product trial with a fantastic company called TheInsiders , a word of mouth review platform. I have four children, I have breastfed them all but normally make a switch to formula when they are older (mainly as I find I no longer have the time to express any longer). My youngest has been exclusively breastfed from birth,  and now at ten months still she refuses bottles and pacifiers, so when the opportunity came up to review SMA Pro 6+Months follow on milk  with TheInsiders, I immediately applied and was accepted. The trial takes place over a 6 week period so you can get a really good feel for the product and have plenty of time to talk to others about your experience of SMA Pro Follow-on Milk. Not long after being notified that I’d been accepted for the campaign, I re

Couponing - how to save money from coupons.

I am sure you have probably heard of the American television shows 'extreme couponing,' but can you really make your coupons count in the UK? Here are a few helpful hints, tips and links if you are interested in saving more on your weekly shop. Extreme couponing Last year I was invited to 'like' the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook. Click on the link above to head over to their main page to discover coupons, deals, competitions and more. They do also have a Youtube channel attached, a fantastic blog and some incredible guides to get you starting on your money saving. SuperSavvyMe I adore this website, I've used it for a few years now. Every now and again I've been accepted to be a product tester as part of their 'Savvy Circle' of brand ambassadors for several different products from shampoos to laundry products. There's a wealth of information on different things from smart shopping and money saving to home, lifestyle an

Receipts - can I really save money from them?

View the latest blog here -  http://banter-and-babies.blogspot.com/2018/07/i-am-sure-you-have-probably-heard-of.html?m=1 I had a wonderful chat this morning with Esther from the Mirror Online after having my details on this very subject passed on from Dominic at Topcashback . I thought it was a great subject for a blog post. You can read the full article over at the Mirror.co.uk here: https://www.mirror.co.uk/money/never-bin-another-receipt--12906292 Last year I became aware that you could actually save money on your receipts. We have so many receipts daily with a large family, so it seemed like a great way to save a little more money. A few top tips first: Check your receipts, as they often contain information on special offers, discount deals and sale dates. If you have the time and there’s a competition (for vouchers or cash for customer satisfaction survey feedback) it’s always a great idea to fill them in as you never know when you might be a winner! I won £2

Product testing and freebies!

Over the years I have had the opportunity to product test for several companies. I enjoy it because you get to try something for free (normally) and I enjoy writing product reviews. www.bzzagent.co.uk   I was introduced to this site through a bargain hunting group (if you haven't already, check out Extreme Bargain Hunting UK on Facebook!). I joined a few months ago and so far I was able to try some Coleman's Seafood Sauce (which was absolutely delicious!). Sign up and fill out your information, remember to fill in all additional surveys you receive to keep your account up to date. You will get invited to take part in product testing via email, but be quick! They fill up fast (I missed out on a Johnstons baby product trial recently). It is mostly foods, shampoos, pet products but I have also heard of others trialling and being allowed to keep Shark hoovers so well worth it! www.supersavvyme.co.uk   Several years ago I discovered this site. It's fantastic for coupons,

Are there really Apps that make you money? Yes - read on!

This is just a quick and easy list (with referrals) of the apps that I use and check into each day. Some might take a few weeks to accrue money or points, but if you have small amounts of money coming in every now and again it all adds up! So here’s a little list and a brief description. If you click on the links while on your phone you can download the apps. Some of the apps you will have heard of before if you follow my blog and in my previous post. If you don’t fancy apps, have a watch out for a list of websites this week in another blog post. There are LOTS more out there, but these are the ones that I use currently with success. You may have noticed me mention a few of them before. Attapoll Attapoll is an app which invites you to take surveys based on your profile, to earn points which turns to money and you can request payment either directly to your paypal account, to bitcoin, to Ethereum or donate to your chosen charity.
