Week 14: But the truth is, you can only get better with practice and first hand experience. So, I’m glad I finally jumped in and I can’t wait to see how far I can progress with the content creation.

Day 92: A Day For Uploads

To start off week 14 of my £1 a day challenge, progress went OK with Swagbucks. I loaded up my account straight after work. Within 45 minutes, I had completed 3 surveys and passed my day’s £1 goal. Today’s online earnings were 163 SB’s (£1.27) including a couple of search rewards.

I spent the rest of this evening editing and uploading the YouTube video of my 2nd month’s progress in the £1 a day challenge. Along with this, I also uploaded week 13 in the Blog section of this website.

Day 93: Not much time today…

I was busy all day today. This left barely has any time to work on improving my financial life. But it’s good to have a break sometimes, I suppose. However, this left me with little time in the evening to make sure I reach My £1 goal today. 

I loaded up Swagbucks and worked as quick as I could on various surveys. Thankfully, within 45 minutes, I had completed 3 surveys to pass my challenge. Today’s earnings were 130 Sb’s (£1.01).

Day 94: Short on time…

I was short on time again today. So I wasn’t able to work much on the online business side of things…

However, in the evening, I did manage to sneak in a couple of surveys. Along with some search rewards too, today I earned 128 SB’s for around 50 minutes of effort.

Day 95: Videos, Beers and Surveys…

Wow. Since lock down is starting to ease more here in the UK, I’m becoming really busy. Everybody is desperate to finally have a socially distanced catch up. This is great but it’s leaving me with barely any time to work on Money Your Concern this week. 

I did however manage to edit and post the next YouTube update of the £1 a day challenge. This covers my progress of month 3 and now means that the YouTube channel is fully up to date. From here on, I will try to update weekly on YouTube just like on this website. However, I intend to approach presenting the information slightly differently. By focusing on the most useful aspects I learned and expanding on these. I hope this style will be much more interesting and useful to watch.

If you’d like to see how this looks, I’d really appreciate it if you took the time to check out the Money Your Concern YouTube channel. You can check it out here.

I had a few beers with friends, this afternoon, for a well overdue catch up. I’m not going to lie, by the time I got the chance to work on completing today’s challenge, I was pretty tipsy. This made for probably the most enjoyable survey experience yet. Although, I’m not sure how long it took me… 

To my amazement, I did manage to complete my £1 goal. I think I completed about 3 surveys, and ended up earning 130 SB’s (£1.01).

Day 96: Scraping through…

Not much time again today. However, I did manage to once again, just do enough to scrape through the £1 goal. In the end, I completed 4 surveys and took advantage of a couple of search rewards to earn 132 SB’s (£1.03) for around an hour’s worth of work.

Day 97: Some spare time, finally…

I finally had some spare time after work today. I made sure I made the most of it. First thing, I loaded up Swagbucks to work on getting the challenge done with surveys. It took around 1 hour but in the end I completed 3 surveys to earn 129 SB’s (£1.01).

I then wrote up a post for the website and prepared my scripts for 3 audio recordings to do tomorrow morning. I think YouTube will be the best way I can get more people involved in this challenge. So I want to add as much value as I can here, to spark the interest of as many people as possible. 

Day 98: Improving My Confidence

I woke up at 5 am today, to drive to the same quiet car park and record those 3 audios before work. I’ve now done 8 recordings. I know I felt awkward and lacking in confidence beforehand. However, now I feel much more at ease whilst doing these recordings and I hope this shows through as my videos progress. 

I suppose that is the key of just getting started. Without this £1 a day challenge, I would have always been waiting until I get more confident or I get better. But the truth is, you can only get better with practice and first hand experience. So I’m glad, I finally jumped in and I can’t wait to see how far I can progress with the content creation.

After a long, hard day at work, I went for a surf to cool off. So I only had a few hours in the evening to complete today’s goal. Luckily I found a deal, which paid me 256 SB’s to sign up to another survey site and complete my first survey. This site was not as well presented as Swagbucks so I don’t think i’ll be using it again but the sign up and survey took no longer than 20 minutes, and I had passed today’s goal.

So along with a couple of search rewards, today I earned 270 SB’s (£2.11) for no more than 25 minutes of work.

Week 14 complete…

So wow. Week 14 was busy for me. And not just in terms of growing this business. As lock down is easing here in the UK, lots of opportunities to meet with friends and family all arose at the same time. In hindsight, I could have perhaps turned one or two of these days down and in future I may need to learn to say no a little more. 

However, it is super important to maintain a balance in your life. I try to always remember what and who is important to me in my life. And we should always make time for the people we care about in our life. So in that case I don’t regret it, but it does mean I didn’t progress as much as I would have liked this week. 

This will be a balance I’ll need to work on and correct as I move along in business…

With that being said, thanks for following week 14 of the £1 a day challenge. I hope with me sharing my journey I can motivate you to take part too.
