Matched Betting Update

​I have been matched betting for two and a half years. See how I started out in my blog post My Matched Betting Journey. So over two and a half years in and it is getting harder to make good money!  The main reason for this is that lots of bookies no longer want to give me offers! But I have made so far over £17,000.....amazing for part time work sat at home!  I am spending about 1 to 2 hours a day matched betting now.  Lots of people make more than me and put in more time than me.

My earnings over the last 6 months range from £684 to £274 a month which actually is still not bad going.  I am sticking with it a bit longer as it is still enough each month to make a difference to me. Just this week it has paid for a deposit for my son's school trip and a new tablet which I need for my new venture (blog post coming soon!).

To conclude: this is an easy way to earn money short to medium term, in the long term we will see! But at the moment an extra £350+ per month is useful to me.  Click the button to learn more!

I can't be in two places at once!

I can't be in two places at once, or three or four!! But this time of year I sometimes wish I could be!  I have had more enquiries than ever this year from people looking for me to have a stall at their event.  This is great of course, as people are finding my details and getting in touch.  I am just so booked up, with many of my Christmas events having been booked since the start of the year!
Some of this will be due to the fact a lot of Phoenix Traders did not carry on and become Flamingo Paperie partners.  Therefore there are so many less of us about! So there are plenty of selling opportunities if you fancy becoming a Flamingo Partner, find out more here.

​I also seem to get the feeling there are many more fairs being organised this year.  And they all seem to be on the same three weekends!  Perhaps this is why organisers are struggling to find enough stall holders.

So how do I choose which events to do at busy times?  This is to be honest a little hit and miss.  I always make sure I have my regular good fairs booked in as soon as I can, then I fit in what I can around that.  Then I talk to other stall holders and find out which ones have been good for them in the past.  Then I look at the local ones and fit them in if I can.  This year I have been offered a few which have been free, they just want a raffle prize, I take these if I can as they are a great way to advertise my business!

​There are many fairs I know I can't do, such as school fairs as they are usually immediately after school finishes and that is when I am picking up from school.  I also can't do Wednesday and Friday evenings as I have no one to have the kiddies on those evenings. There seems to be a lot on those evenings this year!  And I usually don't travel more than an hour unless I know its a really good fair.

​I find it very frustrating to see so many selling opportunities that I am not able to do for one reason or another.  But I do what I can and I consider each fair very carefully as I don't want to take on too much and burn out before the Christmas season is finished!  In fact a couple of years ago, I took on too many and it became really stressful and totally put me off doing any fairs the following year!
