Newest iRazoo Updates - Better Than Before?

This is exactly why I chose to stick it out with iRazoo and didn't instantly write off their changes, while they are not amazing, they're making improvements and going by the numbers I would have to admit that NOW is the time to jump on board with iRazoo.  You can easily start earning a $5 gift card every week ($260 a year) or even every 2-3 days... 

As I'm sure you all know, they recently went from the guaranteed 300 points earned per day to a search and win system similar to SwagBucks (who also went through a makeover recently).  Each time you win with iRazoo now, you get 75 points with the possibility of winning multiple times daily.  You can also refer people to increase your earnings.

SwagBucks Birthday Celebration

I logged into SwagBucks this morning and thought I'd hit the jackpot, until I looked closer.  I had 2700 SB's on my account and was actually afraid something might have gone wrong haha

What actually happened is that the SwagBucks Birthday Celebration began and ushered in a new point system... 

Right now I'm a little concerned about the fact that our SwagBucks have been multiplied by 10, and the cost of prizes has been multiplied by 10, but TSG says that search prizes will be worth "1-20" or more... I'm hoping the 1 is just a typo and is supposed to be 10 otherwise they're blinding us with big numbers just to shaft us in a way that we won't notice.


I'm crossing my fingers for some awesome stuff today though!

R.I.P. IMReportCard

Yesterday brought along an announcement from IMReportCard that deserves to be noted here.  Yesterday they sent out an email announcing that they were no longer honoring their cash payments system.  Although they have been over a year, they've (suddenly) decided that there was too much scamming involved once real money was introduced into the picture and are now saying that you will "earn status icons based on your credits earned".  Woop dee doo!

iRazoo, Why did you do it?

As most of you have probably noticed by now, iRazoo is working on a complete and total overhaul of it's previous self and is converting into something more SwagBucks-ish.  Since they started their remodel, there have been a lot of iRazoo complaints and rightfully so, but I'm not quite ready to cut ties yet...

I will admit that when they initially implemented the changes, I was ready to jump ship instantly, but since then my annoyance has subsided partially and I've decided to stick it out and see what iRazoo turns into.  Here's a recap of the changes for those who haven't been with them very long.

Pay Day!

I now name today Proof of Payment Friday... even though this post is actually coming through on Saturday since it's now 12:10 on the East coast.

Since Friday is the most commonly accepted pay day, I've decided to make it my official proof of payment posting day. This means that every Friday I will post all my payment proof updates from the week before. I figure it will be a lot neater and more convenient for you to see all the different proof of payment updates at once instead of splattered throughout the week.

It's been a while since I've done my Proof of Payment update so this is a bit of a long one:

• YouData: I've received two payments from them since my last update, one on 12/11 for 5¢ and a second today for 21¢. (Proof of Payment)

Updates

Things have been oh so hectic. Apparently on top of the holidays, my SO's family has half their birthdays in December and I had forgotten about... plus the firehouse does a lot of charity work during December which leaves me and my 4 year old bundle of energy stuck indoors by ourselves a lot more than usual.

I did want to say that I took advantage of the gift card sale that Swagbucks was having and bought 4 discounted Amazon cards (saved 20 SBs which is almost 1/2 of another card) bringing my total with them up to $30 with over 100 SB left over.

My scheduling goal is chugging a long like the little engine that could but hasn't quite made it over the hill yet. I have been using a small notepad to schedule my tasks from 6am-6pm and I'm managing to finish most things in their allotted time slots, but not everything. I have been royally slacking on remembering to do iRazoo, TrekPay, NeoBux etc though so I think I need to actually schedule them in so I won't forget.

Coming Soon: More Proof of Payment for IMShopping and Pinecone Research.

Swagbucks Sale

For those who have been watching the gift card sale from Swagbucks, they have finally put up the $5 Amazon Card at a discount. It's very minor and only a 5 SB discount, but it's still not terrible.

You can only grab two cards per day so I just snatched my two and am hoping that the timer resets at midnight so I can grab two more!

Proof of Payment

Here are a few payments that have already come in for December!

• YouData 12/4 - 39¢ (Proof of Payment)
• iRazoo 12/5 - $5 Amazon card which was requested on 11/10, bringing my total up to $15 out of $25 received (Proof of Payment)
  
• Greenfield Online 12/7 - $30.00 for my Interactive Survey on Nov. 18th (Proof of Payment)
  

Thank you iRazoo and SwagBucks

I finally used my iRazoo and SwagBucks Amazon gift cards for a bit of Christmas shopping. I ended up with a total of $20 off my order... If I had all my iRazoo cards, my order would have been almost free haha

Little T will be pleased to see that Santa brought him two Lego Indiana Jones playsets, and I'm pleased that it only cost Santa $14.99 thanks to iRazoo and SwagBucks!

I only wish that I had gotten involved with these sites earlier instead of snubbing SwagBucks for so long!

November Digest and December Goals coming today or tomorrow at the latest!

PeopleString

First, I want to thank everyone who has been visiting, it's great to think that I might actually be helping other people learn (and possibly earn) through my experiences.

I wanted to let everyone know that the two freelance projects I was working on through LiveWork have finished up, and soon I'll be able to invoice my work. I'll post my numbers for everyone as soon as I can :)

Second, I decided to go ahead and bite the bullet. After all, if I'm going to get junk mail, and there's a chance I can paid for it - then I should probably jump at the opportunity.

Today I signed up for PeopleString through someone else's referral link (because everyone should always make sure they give credit to someone) and am up to $1.53 after less than 5 minutes. It started me off with 3¢ right off the bat and then $1.50 (pending receipt of the postcard) because I did the starter survey that gets your first piece of payable mail sent out to you.

The basic idea is that they send you special "junk mail" with codes on it, and when you enter these codes on the site you get credit and get paid.

It's got some pretty good reviews so far and I'll be sure to update once I get the postcard!

Week One: $3.03
Week Two (ends 10/13):
