Update from Wanelo

Wanelo (Want Need Love) is a website for mothers (and parents in general) to review products that they have personal experience with. Whether it's baby products, toddler toys, PS3 games or margarita mixers.

Now that they've reached their goal, they're putting a limit on the number of paid reviews that can be done by each paid reviewer weekly. The limit will be 10 per week and you still have to meet the requirements that we've been working under already:

-Personal experience with the item
-110 words or longer (they say for a new item review that's 8 lines of text, for a review of a product already on the site it's 11 lines because the form is more narrow).
-Good spelling and grammar
-No foul language

They also have weekly contests with prizes ranging from $5-25. I won $5 last week for "Favorite Collection" which was pretty exciting.

If you haven't started writing paid reviews yet, I'd recommend finding one of my earlier Wanelo posts and checking out the job postings that are linked for them to see if you can still get on with them. I'll update my payment proof later tonight with the $5 prize as well as my second review payment once it comes through.

$40 a month is equal to 10% of my end goal for December - how much of your goal would it be?

Update: TrekPay, Cloud Crowd, ALikeList (Special Offer for $25 Gift Cert)

Shortest first, TrekPay did the cash conversion late yesterday evening for me. I was sitting at about 401 Credits, they took 300 and turned it into 70¢. So the conversion for this week was roughly .23 cents per credit - not what I was hoping for, but since I'm just starting I have rock bottom conversion rankings. It can only go up from here!

Cloud Crowd: I mentioned Cloud Crowd recently and sat down and put some time into it. It's an easy source of income. I haven't invested a lot of time into it, but I'm making more than a dollar a day just to sit down and grade a couple of websites each day.
The tasks they currently offer are:

• Find foreign manufacturer websites
• Grade websites found by other users
• Rewrite text on websites found by other users
• Grade the rewrites done by other users

The pay varies depending on which task you choose, and the demand that they have for that type of work. They recently bumped the Rewrites up to $2.00 (from $1.50) and dropped the others a couple cents each.

I got paid last night for the first time (since I hadn't joined on Monday night until they'd already paid out). I've posted payment proof on ImageShack for everyone to see. They pay out every night through PayPal.

This is a really great egg for anyone, no matter what type of task you go for. People are making $10, $20, or even $50 a day in reasonable amounts of time. I figure even if I only make a dollar a day, that's $31 this month which is over 10% of my goal for October! How close can Cloud Crowd get you to your goal?

And finally, I have a special offer that's only available directly through me:

ALikeList, is the site I mentioned in my previous post that's in it's Beta stages right now. The basic idea of the site is that users are able to give positive reviews to all kinds of establishments/shops in their area and other areas they are familiar with.

This includes restaurants (family owned and national chains), grocery stores, hospitals/fire departments (and who deserves praise more than your local firemen - especially the volunteers?), and a whole array of other shops and stores. Even the smallest of mom and pop shops can be found on their site. It's incredibly impressive how thorough the site is.

On top of the great site quality, their staff is amazing. After signing up yesterday with a goal of reviewing 20 places and recruiting 3 new folks to their site for a $25 gift certificate, I decided I had better double check with them to make sure the offer was legit.

As it turned out, the offer itself wasn't available directly through them - it was actually an offer from a 3rd party site that I don't associate with. One of their staff spent their day wrapped up in correspondence with me, and the lovely lady who had referred me as well - and came to the following conclusion.

Not only would she and I be able to earn our $25 gift certificates, but so would anyone we refer! (Their referrals however would not be eligible.) This is a limited time offer though, and you do have to go directly through an invite from me to be eligible. You can check out the site through the link above, but to be eligible to earn the $25 gift certificate I have to actually use their invite tool to send an official invitation to you via email.

Once you've signed up, I will be able to forward your email to the site owners so they can track your progress and get you your SuperCertificate after you've added 20 businesses to your LikeList and referred 3 folks to the site.

You can use this link to send me safely send me your email, without anyone else seeing it.

Cloud Crowd

I joined up with a new program today called Cloud Crowd. It's not like anything I've done before, but it's really quite simple for the most part. It's an application on FaceBook, but don't worry it doesn't actually put an app on your page, or even post that you joined the app so you don't have to worry about people wondering what you're up to lol .

The basis of it is that you review websites that are non US, rewrite info from their pages to make it more understandable, or other things of that nature. Tasks are paid out daily through PayPal and range from 5¢ to $1.50. I personally made 30¢ in just a couple of minutes testing it out.

It's pretty excellent overall and a nice little egg to keep in your basket, especially since you can do some of the tasks in less than a minute whenever you stop by your computer to check on something.

They are a new company as well, so keep in mind that there will probably be a larger variety of tasks available in the near future.

I'm also really looking forward to seeing my first cash conversion with TrekPay, I'm up to 362 credits right now and it's been less than a week. They do the conversion between Tuesday and Thursday of each week, I was hoping it'd happen today (that's why my post is so late) but it didn't - hopefully it will tomorrow and I can start tracking conversion rates for everyone :)

I hope everyone's doing well, and finding helpful info here - thanks so much for reading, clicking, signing up, and keeping me inspired!

((As a side note, unrelated to the general concept of this blog - but still related to being a WAHM I heard back from two phone jobs I applied with that I've made it to the next step! Neither of them are the one I really wanted to hear back from, but I'm still happy I finally heard back from someone. I'll add little blurbs here and there about that issue to my posts, but none of those earnings will be added into my goal tally.))

Just a Quick Note

After browsing through a few different PTC and Survey sites, I realized that quite a few mention AlertPay as a method of payment. As it turns out, PayPal seems to slowly be moving away from PTCs.

I was INCREDIBLY uncomfortable with the idea of signing up to be paid by any means other than PayPal since I've used it for nearly 8 years (and so I was passing over money making opportunities just because I was afraid of something "new") , but after doing a bit of background research I found that AlertPay is a legitimate company that has been in action since 2004 with positive feedback and a wide range of currency and transfer options.

They do tend to have a few more fees for some account types, so make sure you're cashing out enough money to make it worth it :)

I would recommend signing up with AlertPay, even if you intend to use your PayPal account as your primary, it can't hurt to have it for the couple sites that prefer it.
