This is an update on my progress on my Free Christmas 2016 Challenge, where I attempt to earn enough money online to pay for my family’s entire Christmas budget. You can read more about it here.
This month wasn’t super in terms of earnings, as I really focused on blogging. I sponsored a few giveaways, and took a few ecourses which really ate up my time, and it shows in the amount I earned. I did participant in some market research (unrelated to the following survey sites) and earned a $25 giftcard to Amazon that I’m placing towards Christmas money, and I started shopping for gifts for family members using deal sites and the money earned. So we’ll see. I’m officially halfway through the challenge.
YouGov: 19500 Points (+ 500)
SurveySavvy: $6 (+ 0)
I-Say: 986 points (+ 5)
Opinion Outpost: 55 points (+ 0)
MyPoints: 3201 points (+ 245)
MySurvey: 557 points (+ 0)
American Consumer Opinion Panel: 2435 points (+ 15)
Swagbucks: 1588 (+ 200)
Mintvine: 10 (+ 88) Cashed out $10 from here
So, for June (not including the gift card from the panel) I earned about $20. Not really where I need to be, but in combination with deals I think I’ll still accomplish most of my goal.

Thanks! I’ve earned about half of my family’s holiday budget so far which is still a HUGE chunk of money for us. Good luck! 🙂
