October Side-Gig Month - LBI Giveaway!

Yes, it's here - we love saving money and we like making money even more! Every Saturday for 5 Saturdays, we're going to look at opportunities to earn a little on the side that don't require qualifications or a huge outlay in capital. Last week, we had great feedback from @phoenixwren about selling things through Etsy and Ebay - check your wallet for an extra LBI!

This week we are going to look at the opportunity to sell skills! Here's a few ideas:

  • handy-person - are you any good at putting up shelves, clocks, curtains? Can you assemble flatpacks or do other odd-jobs around the home?
  • gardener - like the above, can you mow lawns, cut hedges, weed and water, sweep paths?

I've seen both the above advertised on a notice-board in my local convenience store - the bottom edge of the notice has been cut into little slips, attached by a small strip at the top of the slip to the main notice, with the phone number of the person offering their skills, so interested people can just tear off a slip. These are often small-scale low-key jobs that people need help with and you can arrange times to suit yourself.

  • garment-maker - any good at knitting, dressmaking or crochet? you might get commissions or you could make garments to sell on Etsy.
  • good at touch-typing, proof-reading and editing - look at freelance opportunities.
  • freelance copywriting or writing magazine articles and stories is another opportunity.

For an opportunity to win LBI in this week's giveaway, tell us in the comments any other ideas you have about selling skills - or any important considerations like local regulations. We'd also like to hear your experiences if you've done any of these.

Thank you for taking part in Saturday Savers Club, everyone!

What's been happening in your world this week? anything exciting or fun? Tell us in the comments - you could win some EDS tokens 😁.

More about EDS tokens

EDS tokens are a low-risk income token, ideal for people who want to save. There were only 20,000 originally and they were all sold at 1 Hive each, with guaranteed earnings of 12% each year. You can now acquire EDS tokens through the EDS Miner token.

Earnings come from powering up and leasing out the Hive that came from selling the tokens, plus earnings from posts and comments each week. EDS pays out every Monday evening. Last week the pay out was equivalent to 23%.

610 EDS Miner tokens left!

Back to business ...

We're going to be here every Saturday through the year growing a little savings honey pot, if you have plans for saving or getting to a different place this time next year - maybe $5 Hive by the end of the year 🤑?

Whatever it is, stick with Susie Saver through the year and we'll get there. Along the way, we'll share lots of tips and tricks for saving and how to get the knack of making your money work for you and not the other way round.

Let's Get Started

We're using the 365 Penny A Day Challenge framework for the Saturday Savers Club. We're aiming to save £667 worth of pennies by the end of the year.

Penny a Day Tracker Sheet

Right click on the image, save it to your computer and then print it out.

Okay, let's check in ...

1. Check Progress

Each week, we're going to check in through this post and see where we are up to. Our target for today, 9 October, was 19.53p. Next week, we'll be saving 20.02p and by Saturday we'll have saved 417.80p (that's 41,780p just compounding a penny a day)! 😁.

Each week, I'll be buying Hive for @susie-saver's account with the pennies we've saved.

Here's this week's results - 19.53p buys 22.04 Hive.
910 Hive powered up in 41 weeks and the remainder invested in EDS and EDSM! Plus we're earning 3.22% inflation on powered up Hive, 20% on EDSM, 23% on EDS tokens and a little on curating and posting!

How much did you save this week? Did you meet your target? Or did you save even more?

Being accountable to another person or a group is a great way to motivate yourself to save (or anything you want to achieve). Of course, you need the right kind of people around you - ones that think what you're trying to do is worth doing ... or at least fun 😁.

Sign up here with us to start your savings journey:

  • just leave a comment below if you want to join the challenge.
  • follow @eddie-earner so you never miss a post (Eddie has lots of ideas about how to make money - he's the earner, I'm the saver - you'll like his posts).
  • share this post if you think your followers might be interested.

2. The Golden Pig Tip

Every week, we're going to share a Golden Pig Tip for saving. By the time you've tried them all you'll have £670 saved.

This Week's Golden Pig Tip

We're running the LBI Giveaway for October Side-Gig month which will have Golden Pig tips every week - check that section above. Here we will continue to promote building the EDS income token fund. Here's how you can help:

  • Vote for @eddie-earner posts - all Hive, HBD and H-E token rewards on posts are powered up to grow the EDS fund and increase the Hive income that is given out every week - it's the magic of compounding combined with a virtuous circle combined with time! Never miss a post by setting up an autovote with Hive.Vote.
  • Carry a little notice about Saturday Savers Club and EDS in your signature at the bottom of every post (See below for sample text and check the bottom of @shanibeer's posts for an example).
  • Write your own post now and then about the Saturday Savers Club and EDS and why you are involved or talk about it in your monthly Hive Power Up Day post.

SAMPLE NOTICE TEXT

Thank you to Saturday Savers Club members who are already doing this - fabulous! Should we be setting a target for how much we want the fund to grow by the end of the year? Have a look at the latest report and let us know in the comments.

And today is always a good day to start saving - you can start on Day 1 or make up the first forty-one weeks (or join the Autumn Challenge) to catch up with @susie-saver.

That's it for this week. Hope you've enjoyed it and look forward to seeing you next Saturday with progress so far and our next Golden Pig tip.

For a moment there I was worried that we were going to skip this week’s report. Great to see your post @shanibeer @susie-saver. Hope you are well.

Susie is very close to her goal. Looks like she’ll get to 1000HP pretty soon. I’d say no later than the end of October. Go Susie !

  • Saturday 6 November

I think that will be the closest date, I feel though that it will be closer to November 4th.

I am still pretty much on track to my 10,000 HP, I converted some of my HBD via the market and powered up to 9,500.

For my Hive-Engine investments I am still suffering through the splinterlands daily quest, but as soon as I hit 10,000 HP, I think that chore will end, because I do see it as a chore and not a pleasure.

My guess for when Susie hits 1000 HP is Saturday 30 October. :)

Thank you so much for the EDS and LBI! Wow, I am lucky today - that's my first LBI, too!

I will add to the skills list of suggestions, pet sitting. I'm the resident pet sitter for people in my building; I've watched over cats and birds while their people were away, and taken a dog for walks when their person was staying late at work or school. This has generally been a positive experience except for one lady who had eleven birds loose in her apartment. I don't have a problem with birds; I watched over one for another neighbor who was one bird and had a cage. But this lady's birds would dive bomb your head because you were a stranger in their home (and not just me, they did it to the super too, apparently). Eventually I stopped agreeing to watch them because it was like going in to Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, and the lady would call me about five times a day asking about them. I do have limits. 😂 But otherwise, animals get taken care of, I earn a little extra cash, and neighbors are able to take their vacations with their animals safe at home, so it's a win-win-win. :)

Pet sitting sounds like a win-win for you. Good way to connect with your neighbours, too.

Ohh forgot to comment last week, too bad. what happened to the 9 hive EDSM sale. I've had a buy order for couple weeks now and was hoping it would get filled by that :-) (Nevermind, didn't read thoroughly sorry, looking forward to the update!)

As for the prediction I'd say 30 October, probably a little sooner but not a whole week..

Great news my friends. My friends have always encouraged me to do a weekend food stand but I’ve always been a little reluctant for various reasons. This month is side gig month so I decided to just push through and start. I’m glad I did.
