In 2016, around the time my daughter was born, I started putting more time into online income streams. Multiple ones. I upped the paid surveys, focus groups, monetising my blog and much more. On top of this, I started to dedicate more time on a weekly basis to matched betting. I knew I never wanted to go back to working for someone else so it was time to take action and make more money. As it has been an amazing 4 years I wanted to post the first recap for several years from me! How much can you make matched betting?
I’ve said it before here, multiple times I’m sure, but I am a firm believer that £1 saved is worth as much, if not more, than £1 earned. Making small, sustainable changes to your household spending can really transform your family finances. Today I have been asked, by Fidelity, to talk to you about the little luxuries that I cut back on to save for big financial goals and ways that you can do the same.
Whether hitting your daily step count, buying a coffee or achieving the percentage needed to pass an exam, no matter where you are in life, numbers play a significant role. Some numbers are more important than others, and no I’m not talking about the winning numbers for the lottery!
I quit my job in 2013 to work for myself full-time, as my regular readers will know. I’m really proud that I have created a job that I can do, at home, working for myself. I’ve always wanted to be self-employed and now I am really am living my dream! I am earning a full-time income and have been able to have some wonderful holidays, and other treats, for my family over the last year in particular using the money that I have earned. I’m also debt free – which is a wonderful feeling, and feel the most financial aware that I have ever been.
I love being able to make money online! For me, personally, I think diversifying is the key to online success. I run this blog, and AllergyFreeDay and make money from those blogs in a variety of ways. Alongside that I like to keep up the online moneymaking too as this helps us with family holidays, nice days out and provides a boost to my income on quieter months too.
If you’re someone who doesn’t have as much time to dedicate as I do, or perhaps a lot of energy to dedicate to starting a website and creating content, there are still some fantastic ways that you can make money online.
Matched betting – If you’ve been around making money online for a long time you may have heard of this already. Basically you are using free bets an offers from bookmakers and casinos to make yourself a profit. I made made £15,000 in my first 4 months! Once I won £7,906.12 – there is screenshot proof too if you want to check. Long term I would say you can make a small, regular pot of money each month from this and the return on your time is much higher than paid surveys and the like. Although I do enjoy these too as I like to keep things diverse! Be sure to read my pros and cons of matched betting.
Paid surveys – I love getting paid for giving my opinion. There are SO many sites now and these are some of the ones I use and like:
There are LOTS more survey websites that I use, and you can find all of the ways to that I make money in my ways to make and save money online post. I love lots of websites listed there and am trying to update it regularly now!
