Boost Your Income Challenge – Day 2
Let’s get stuck into making some money!
One of my all time favourite ways to make money is Matched Betting.
I first discovered Matched Betting just over 3 years ago, when I was on maternity leave from my self-employed childminding job. I was expecting our third child and although I’d enjoyed childminding, I really didn’t want to go back to it with three young children of my own – the prospect terrified me! I’d been making extra money online for a few years anyway, but it wasn’t enough to keep our heads above water without going back to work.
I kept reading about Matched Betting and initially I was very sceptical about the whole concept. To be honest, I always am with anything that suggests you can make a lot of money online. There are so many scams out there that it’s sometimes difficult to pick out the genuine opportunities.
Eventually, after a LOT of research, I did my first Matched Betting offer. It took me a LONG time to get my head around how the whole thing worked and that first offer seemed to take forever. BUT, by the time I’d done my second offer, I worked out I’d made just under £50! I was hooked!
Now, if like me, you’re thinking this is a scam or you’re totally unsure how it works – then read up as much as you can online. I do also have a FREE matched betting for beginners course which you can sign up for too.
What is matched betting?
If you’ve never heard of it, or you’re flummoxed about what it is, then here’s a brief explanation. I do go into this more in my beginners course so definitely sign up for that if you haven’t already!
Matched betting takes advantage of offers from bookmakers by using a betting exchange to guarantee a profit every time.
Bookies love to entice new customers with opening offers such as bet £10 get £20 in free bets. Now they’re hoping that you’ll gamble with them and lose £10! But with matched betting, we use a special calculator and a betting exchange to “lay off” our bets so that we guarantee a risk-free profit every single time.
Where can I find the offers?
All the offers are online for you to find, but searching individual bookies and scouring their terms can be a bit of a pain!
I’ve been using Profit Accumulator for three years now and they find all the offers for you. Initially, I signed up for their free trial which gave me access to two offers with video tutorials and step-by-step instructions. Once I saw how much money I’d made, I signed up for their monthly subscription.
Now I will say here that I have a little confession to make – six months after signing up, I actually applied for a job with Profit Accumulator and I’ve worked for them since then. That aside, they are a fantastic support and I wouldn’t have made ANY money if it wasn’t for them!
How much money can you make matched betting?
The answer to this really is “how long is a piece of string”. When you first start out, you’ll make around £45 from the first two offers. I now regularly make £500 every month.
If you sign up for Profit Accumulator, you’ll see in their forum that they have two really popular threads – how to make £300 per month, and how to make £1,000 per month. They post what they’re doing every day so that you can follow and achieve those figures too.
As with anything, how much you get out will depend on how much you put in. If you’ve only got a short window of time each week though – you can still make a decent amount of money from matched betting!
I hope you’ve found this useful!
