Extra Money Earned January: £243.95

I've set a target of generating £2,009 in extra income earned in 2009, which if I do will add another 8% to my income. I'm using this money for anything outside of my normal budget, which for February will be a passport renewal for my daughter and some costs for a school trip she's taking in April.

January breakdown:

• Amazon sales £21.69
• Blog Income £127.97
• Cashback sites £36.18
• Interest £3.11
• Side Income £55.00

Total £243.95/£2,009

I'm a long way off from making lots of passive income, £3.11 is not going to get me very far, but it is a start. The main thing is to start thinking of other ways to make money besides your salary.
