July has been the most successful extra income month since I began tracking in March! If you’re new to my content I set monthly goals over on my Instagram. I then publish exactly how I make extra money online. July’s goal was to make £75 and my final total was £145! Here’s how I made it:
Surveys
Streetbees – £6.00
Referral code – 7946AT
July was another fairly quiet month for surveys. I did a couple about what I feed my dog and the treats I give her so managed a small payment. The total I’ve made on Streetbees now stands at £37.60.
Voxpopme – £10.43
Referral reward – *If you sign up using my Voxpopme referral link we’ll both get £1 when your first response is approved!
In July I got a nice little payment for recording my responses to questions on Voxpopme. I’ve gotten used to being on camera now and I find these 60 second clips really easy to do. The payments per survey can be pretty small (I’ve had a few at 25p) but they seem to mount up quickly.
GfK – £1.00
I won a £1 Amazon voucher when taking part in GfK MediaView surveys in July. I signed up, downloaded the app and quickly rated the TV programmes I watched the previous day every evening. It only takes a minute as I don’t watch a lot of terrestrial TV and I get entered into giveaways which happen every week.
Total – £17.43

Receipt Scanning
SnapMyEats – £10.00
I had a really good month with SnapMyEats in July. You simply scan your food and drink receipts and earn a £1 reward credit for every 3 valid receipts you submit per month. If you submit the maximum 15 valid receipts in a month you earn £5.
Shoppix – £5.00
Shoppix allows you to earn tokens for scanning receipts, doing surveys and occasionally rating your experiences of certain shops. You can also earn scratchcards which reveal if you’ve won a prize or not.
ZipZero – £6.00
By scanning your receipts in ZipZero you can earn 1% of the value of your purchases. The payments are sent to your utility bills (electricity, gas, water, internet, phone bill and council tax) and I use mine towards my gas and electricity bill.
HuYu – £5.00
HuYu has been a bit of a slow burner but in July I cashed out my first £5 Amazon voucher. You earn points for scanning receipts from certain shops and completing surveys.
Total – £26.00

Cashback
TopCashback* – £2.53
I always use cashback sites when shopping online and have also been taking part in TopCashback’s summer treats giveaway and have won a couple of small cash prizes.
Quidco* – £5.30
I made a couple of purchases through Quidco and earned some cashback in July. I suggest always comparing cashback rates on Quidco and TopCashback before deciding which site to purchase through.
Total – £7.83
Free Spins
Coral – £13.11
Coral are still running a promotion called The Rewards Grabber where you can win free spins and more on their casino games. You use the grabber to select a symbol and reveal if you’ve won a reward. I seem to be getting less lucky as the weeks go on but I’ve still been logging in every day and have had a few small wins.
William Hill – £0.60
William Hill are running a similar promotion called Bonus Explorer. For this you collect symbols to win free spins and other prizes. Again I feel like this promotion is getting worse the longer it continues and I didn’t win much in July.
Betfair* – £0.06
Betfair have the odd promotion on and I take part whenever I see free spins appear in my account. I didn’t manage a big win but every penny counts!
Tombola– £20.20
I managed to get my hands on a free £5 voucher for Tombola and won £20.20 with free spins. I played Golden Gongs and upped the wager so the prize pot increased.
Total – £33.97

If you have any issues around gambling it may be best to avoid these types of promotions.
Second Hand Selling
eBay – £7.16
In July I sorted through our games collection and decided to list a couple on eBay. One of them sold so I made a small amount.
Total – £7.16
Blogging
Sponsored Posts – £53.10
Since returning to blogging I’ve managed to boost my domain authority back up to a point where I can take on paid work. In July I did my first sponsored post in a while working with a blogging agency. I’ll be writing a detailed post on how to make money blogging later this month.
Total – £53.10
Grand Total – £145.49
