I didn’t think I’d ever be able to share this… again.

About how early in 2021, I couldn’t afford to feed myself whilst living (rather surviving) on benefits thanks to a mental break pioneered by the big ‘C’.

The COVID-19 pandemic, not cancer… nor the Netflix show.

These things can and do happen to us. So if it’s happening to you, don’t fear.

You can create a free account, enter a few details and be matched on short surveys to complete. Once you’ve earned a minimum of £1 (just over a dollar) from each, you can cash out to PayPal and transfer to your bank account instantly.

Qmee and Curious Cat App allowed me to earn my own way out of absolute poverty and into the supermarket.

I really hope these can help others do the same.
