It all adds up

Mp3's from EMusic
How much would you expect to pay to download 25 of the latest music tracks? £25? £10? FREE!?!

Why even settle for free when you can get paid to download music you want anyway? I'm pretty chuffed with today's find, £4 for signing up with eMusic on a 14 day trial. I found this through (you guessed it) quidco.

It all adds up
You may be thinking that all these little bits of cash I'm getting aren't worth the effort, but it does all add up. If I can keep finding 1 little bonus like this each day I'll have around £30 extra in my pocket each week! As for the amount of effort, so far it's been pretty low. Five minutes tops. I spend more time writing this blog. =)

Protect yourself from spam
For anyone thinking of emulating me and getting a bit of spending money for themselves I have a recommendation for you. Create an alternate email address. I signed up for a free one from Yahoo and am entering it as the email address for anything I sign up for. This way I can be sure I won't have to worry about spam at my normal email address

The Tally
The Equifax and Audible deals from the previous entries have both now tracked, so I know the sign up was successful. It can still take some time for it to show up in my account though, so I won't count it as cash in hand until I've really got it.

Cash in hand: £0
Expected Earnings: £13

More Money for Nothing

Free trial from Audible

It's been a big day at work so I'm picking off some more easy money

for today's cash grab.

I've headed back to quidco looking for freebies. This time I've found

a £4 sign up bonus for a trial at www.audible.co.uk. Sign up was quick

and painless and I've downloaded a spanish audio book in the hopes

of fulfilling a long term goal and learning another language.

Don't get caught!

I'll be signing up for quite a few free trials as they are an easy way to
get some cash and you often get something useful from the service as

well.

The thing to be careful about is that as a rule, when the free trial
ends you will automatically switch to a paid subscription service. This
is of course something I want to avoid.

To make sure I don't get caught out I've signed up for a free service
called Remember the milk. It lets you enter in things you'd like to be
reminded of and will send notifications when they are due. I added a
reminder for a week from now to unsubscribe from Audible as well as
the Equifax credit report I signed up for yesterday. For good measure I

put in my wedding anniversery as well.

I've heard talk that this service can even send free sms reminders, but I
will look into that on another day.

The Tally

The Equifax sign up hasn't tracked in quidco yet, so still no cash in
hand.

Cash in hand: £0

Expected Earnings: £9

Money for Nothing

Welcome
My name is Peter and this is the first post in my new money-for-nothing blog. Soon to be full of cunning tips & tricks to get cold hard cash without doing anything that resembles real work.

I'll be writing about ways to generate real money using sign up bonuses, cash back offers, referral/affiliate schemes and anything else that will give me a bit of extra cash in my wallet.

As we go I'll be keeping a running tally of exactly how much I've managed to get and hopefully demonstrate that it's easy for you to do the same.

I've already done a bit of this and had some success, which is what inspired me to start this blog. However I won't be counting any past wins, the tally starts at zero right now but I'm looking forward to racking up a substantial amount of cash.

Today's Free Money
I've already spent a bit of time today getting a domain name and setting up this blog, so I'll go for a nice easy one. Quidco.com is a site you'll probably see me mention a bit in this blog. It is full of great offers. There's nothing better than knowing what you want to buy and then seeing that you can get £££'s back from quidco for something you were getting anyway.

I got knocked back for a credit card application a couple of days back despite the fact that I'm fine financially. Signing up for a free credit report for Equifax will get me £5 without (providing I remember to unsubscribe within a month) costing me a penny.

The Tally
Cash in hand: £0
Expected Earnings: £5
