Straight after work today, I rushed home to log onto my laptop in order to get day 1 of the challenge underway. I feel the sooner I get started on this journey, the sooner I can get momentum going. Too many times I have had business ideas which exited me, only for to over research it and be put off by all the possibilities it may not work.

Not this time!! This time, I plan to take action first and learn as I go…

Swagbucks:

When thinking about the simplest way to get committed to this challenge; I thought of Swagbucks! It’s an app which pays you (albeit very poorly) to take surveys, shop through their affiliate links and watch videos etc. It sounds simple, so I think i’ll start here. I’ll learn a little about making money online through this, teach you what I’ve learnt and move onto more profitable ventures.

So firstly I downloaded the app and had a quick browse. From a glance, It seems you get paid $1 (or £0.78) for every 100 swagbucks (SB’s) earned. So in order to make £1, I need to earn at least 128SB’s a day on here. 

Let’s have a go!!

* 30 minutes later*

My first impression is that I am already frustrated with this site. You can sign up to do a survey, answer a few personal questions to be declined for not being what they were looking for; rendering those 5 minutes worthless apart from a 1 SB constellation prize. I have also found the time recommendation for each questionnaire to be pure underestimates. A ‘4 minute survey’ took me 20 minutes to complete. Giving me 20 SB’s (the equivalent to 16p). This definitely isn’t going to be a fast way to earn some extra cash.

Anyway, so I stuck at it and after 1hr 36mins, I finally reached my target. In total I earned 161 SB’s, the equivalent to £1.31. This is a terrible payout I know but it is a start in the right direction. The direction of taking action in online business. where I expect, the more I get involved, the more opportunities will become visible to me.

Day 1 of the £1 a day challenge complete!!

I hope this challenge can inspire you to take part in the challenge for yourself. Furthermore, it’d be great to hear from you in the comments if you plan to give it a go!! If you want to see how I progress, You can check out the Blog section of moneyyourconcern.com.
