Did you know that the average persons goes over £600 into debt over the Christmas period? Whether that money is paid back from January's wages, or it continues well into the new year, Christmas debt is something that impacts a lot of us.
This year I have been thinking about how I can help my readers with the cost of Christmas, and then it hit me – running a money making challenge.
Details about the challenge
The “make £1,000 for Christmas” challenge is just that – a challenge to make £1,000 before Christmas.
The challenge will run for 10 weeks, meaning that we are trying to make £100 a week from the 16 October 2017.
The challenge will be run in a private Facebook group – that means that unless your friends and family members are taking part in the challenge themselves, they will not see your posts in the group. The group will only be for people who are taking the challenge, so you can be assured that you are surrounding yourself with like minded people.
Best of all, the challenge is completely free to take part in. I won't be peddling any get rich quick schemes, or any multi level marketing schemes like Younique or Juice Plus. You will be getting information on all the ways I earn a living online – everything is tried and tested by me!
I am really excited about this challenge and I really hope that you get on board.
How to join the challenge
If you are keen to join in my challenge to make £1,000 before Christmas, simply enter your email address in the form below.
Once submitted, you'll receive an email with the next steps, including a link to the Facebook group.
Due to the nature of these emails (money making), some spam filters will block them so be sure to check your spam folder! If you have any issues you can comment on this post or email [email protected] and I'll get you all set up.
I can't wait to have you on board!

September 22, 2017 at 4:14 pmSo wanting to do this. I was in a car accident 14 years ago, and I have chronic pain and bad insomnia, I also have 5 kids at school so I need to make money around all that. I need to work from home and it to be flexible. It’s really hard just relying on my husbands wage, he works so hard for us all and I would love to give back to him
Emma says
September 24, 2017 at 8:49 amThat is so nice Lucy! Really hope this can help.

September 25, 2017 at 11:46 amAs we are retired and averse to matched betting would it be worth our joining in? Would be interested in learing about ways that we can make a little more though.
Emma says
September 26, 2017 at 10:54 pmOf course. I will be sharing apps that I use and other ways I make money.

October 2, 2017 at 9:26 pmI would love to do this! It feels rather terrifying and £1000 is an intimidating sum. Going to join in and see if I can get some inspiration

October 3, 2017 at 2:40 pminteresting challenge but quite hard to achieve if you hold down a full-time job
Emma says
October 7, 2017 at 8:25 amPossibly, but then all this can be done any time of the day. It’s like anything really, you get out what you put in. x
Amanda says
October 3, 2017 at 5:42 pmReally excited about doing this – I’ve just started uni again as a student midwife and have so little income Christmas was going to be cancelled! I really hope that this works and I can make some money to get us through and maybe beyond and through my studies
Emma says
October 7, 2017 at 8:22 amCongrats Amanda! This will work, but like most things, you will need to set some time aside to do it. Good luck. x
