I just checked my bank account online and the $60 cheque I paid in has come through.. I got around £25 for it (paying fees on it took about £8 ). Yesterday I got a notification that I'm getting a £5 voucher in the post for doing surveys, etc.. and recently I've also had a £30 cheque come through. In addition I sold an unwanted book on eBay which netted me about £2.

I always find it amazing how much "free money" I can get on the internet. I don't have a job anymore (my last contract ended in Fed. and it wasn't worth me getting another one with my exams coming up - I'm doing 5 A-levels and 2AEAs ("Super A-levels") compared to most people just do 3 A-levels....so I have plenty of work on my plate.

Once my exams are out the way, I'm hoping to get round to relisting more books etc on Amazon. I'm also going to hunt around for old videos no one watches, as Blockbuster has started paying you for trade-in videos, DVDs etc. I'm going to try selling stuff I don't want on eBay more too..and entering more competitions - I find if you enter enough you do win stuff, and anything I don't want makes good presents or can be sold on eBay etc.

This year I won a mini-MP3 player worth about £80, but I gave it to my boyfriend as an early birthday present

If anyone has more tips on making money online, let me know! if I think of more things, I'll post again later
