MarketForce Mystery Shopping

Being a student, I am often short on cash for important things such as alcohol, bacon and takeaways. This led me to looking online for other ways to make a bit of money on the side. After a bit of reserach I found a website that did mystery shopping: MarketForce. This website allows you to sign up and see mystery shopper tasks in your desired locations. You get paid for the task itself and reimbursed for the actual purchase. So basically you get paid to buy something for free, excellent! The only thing you have to do is answer a questionnaire when you’re finished which takes about 10 minutes max.

Since joining Loughborough University in September I have become more and more interested in Banking and Finance. Due to this I have been applying to various banks for internships.

How I made an easy £82 – Quidco

I haven’t made a post in a while and the thought came to my mind  when seeing my friend, Jack Saunders, making a few posts on his blog. I couldn’t think of what to talk about at first, but then it came to me – Quidco. For those of you who don’t know what it is, it’s a cash back site that gives you money back on purchases done through it for many different retailers including eBay, Amazon, Play and many many more. What’s more, and what sets it apart from other cash back sites, is that it can even work in store. Yes, you simply put your card number into the site and any purchases done in store on that card with the retailers they have on board, you earn cash back on, brilliant! So that’s Quidco in short, now how did I make my £82…

419eater.com – Fight the scammers and spammers

Yes, a few days ago I did say how global spam levels had fallen, but 50 billion junk emails a day is still a lot. Obviously no one likes spam, hence the invention of the spam filter, but what’s fun about them? Nothing. This is where 419eater comes in.
