SurveyHead

Just a quick update - I just hit $25.50 worth of posted surveys with SurveyHead (with almost $40 still pending). I've been with the site for less than a month and am already capable of cashing out. They do say that most surveys will take 4-6 weeks to post, but obviously I've seen quicker results since I haven't even hit the 4 week mark yet.

Initially I was going to wait a few days to request my cash out, but with the end of the month drawing near I'm going to go ahead and do it now. Their website says it can take 4 weeks for the payment to reach Pay Pal, but most of what I'm seeing online is that it takes less than 14 days. I want to test this for myself - I'm hoping it hits soon enough to count into my October goal total!

This one is definitely a keeper. Even at $25 a month that will still be a big push towards my monthly goal (12.5% of my goal for this month). I also think that the earning potential is just going to increase over time since things will be posting more consistently to my account than they were the first few weeks.

I average more than one completed survey per day with a very common demographic (white, female, I say single since I'm not actually married, young child, some college) and lately I've found myself turning away some surveys because of burn out. I actually just purposely disqualified myself for one because I didn't feel like doing it, then when I refreshed my page I saw that I had reached the minimum pay out because something new had been approved.

Needless to say that making the pay out quota has lit a fire under me to stop doing that now!

Updates!

PeopleString: I got my post card today, so for those of you who have signed up, it took about 3 weeks for me to get it. Now hopefully I'll start getting more mail!

__________

Cloud Crowd: They've got tasks up again! Hopefully that means things are almost all straightened out. Not all tasks are available, but some is better than none.

__________

GreenField Online: Turns out I got approved for the second $30 interactive survey! I found out this morning that I was accepted for the afternoon session they had today. I had a few technical difficulties that caused me to miss a few minutes of questions (read that as my son turned my hard drive off while playing!) but their tech support said that as long as I was there for most of the survey I would still be paid. I'll update when it posts (if it posts).

That's two $30 interactive surveys in a month that I've qualified, and one $50 that I missed out on. One on the 5th and one on the 20th - which is pretty awesome. I still haven't managed to qualify for one of their regular surveys, but I'd still recommend them just for these interactive surveys.

__________

Wanelo: They're up over 2000 reviews right now but I'm not sure how many of those are "qualifying" reviews so I'm going to keep writing until I hear otherwise. Hopefully they'll keep paying. Either way I did over 60 this week before they reached the 2k mark and one of my collections won $5 award! (Haven't been paid yet, I assume that will happen Friday with the review payments.)

__________

I'm super excited, the month is 2/3s over and I'm 3/4 of the way to my goal for October purely based off PayPal deposits and not including pending payments or gift cards.

It feels good to be contributing (even a little) and it's great to know that others are learning and earning as well!

iRazoo and Many Mini Updates

iRazoo is something that I just got started with a few days ago after being referred by a fellow blogger and I've worked it into my IMShopping routine. This site in no way will make you rich, BUT it will easily make you $15 a month in Amazon gift cards. Again, not overly impressive, and not real cash - but if you were to save your $15 a month from December to November you'd have an extra $180 worth of giftcards for Christmas shopping.

The way it works is that you sign up and get 50 points, and then you use their search box to look up whatever you're looking up. It takes you to a site and you get 4 points for grading the site, 4 points for commenting on it, and an extra 8 (or is it 4) points if someone else has graded it before you.

You can earn 300 points per day, and a $5 Amazon card is 3000 points. So every 10 days you can cash out! There's also a chance to win a gift card randomly while searching, but I've only been with them for 3 days so I haven't seen it happen yet. Either way $15 a month, even in giftcard form isn't bad since Amazon is such a versatile place to get pretty much anything.

I'm actually using it while I do my IMShopping questions and when I find an item for my bookmarklet, I just open that page in a new tab and add it.
__________
Since my post yesterday about IMShopping, I've had several more answers that were awarded "Best Answer". My total is now at $22 out of the $40 I need to cash out with them as a regular (non shopping assistant) member. I'm hoping to reach the $40 before they start hiring but I've been a bit busy so I haven't been meeting my personal 5 a day quota which might make it a bit harder.

I still think it's a great site and I look forward to them opening their new Shopping Assistant positions this month. One of the CMs actually announced today that they've lowered the hiring age to 16, so if you have teens at home who enjoy being on the computer and need some extra cash you should get them started now so they can reach the 25 question minimum for consideration. I don't know anything detailed about the position or pay, but it can't hurt to be prepared by meeting the qualifications.
__________
Cloud Crowd: Reports from Cloud Crowd are that they're still making improvements and work should be up again early this week. To check their forums, go to the facebook page, scroll down and click "Cloud Crowd" in the bottom left corner, click "Discussions" on the page that loads up after that and you can find updates from them and threads by other workers.
__________
I also recieved my $30 payment from GreenfieldOnline, I had requested the payment on the 14th and didn't expect it anywhere near this quickly so a big bravo there. I also received another offer for another $30 interactive study survey two days ago, but haven't heard back as to whether or not I've made the cut. (Payment Proof)

I still haven't been able to successfully complete a regular paying survey for them though hehe
__________
Wanelo is getting close to reaching the 2000 review mark as well which is the pending cut off for paid reviews (this could change in the future). I'm super sad because I was really enjoying this little egg and the thought of it expiring doesn't make me happy, but that's how it goes I suppose! Last I checked they were around the 1500 mark, so if you're planning to get in on this and earn a few bucks do it now! (Check my previous post on them for details.)

IMShopping

So I've been spending time on IMShopping a little more regularly lately. Nothing serious, but I've been answering 4-5 questions almost daily for the past few days.

I hold by my previous statement that it could be profitable to work on cash questions alone. 4 out of 5 that I did on Thursday (I think it was Thursday) won the $2 tip yesterday when they finished which is pretty awesome. Right now I've answered 22 questions, gotten best answer on 7 (some other answers are still pending), and gotten 6 additional thumbs up.

I've only been signed up since October 3rd, I haven't put consistent time into the site until recently, but I've still managed to earn $14 with them which is nearly a dollar a day. At that rate IMShopping could account for 7.5% of my end goal (or more) monthly.

Their community manager has also recently made an exciting announcement about hiring, and new ways to get paid:

IMshopping will begin hiring from our site starting on October 27th. We will be inviting community members to become paid Shopping Assistant Guides at that time. In order to be invited, you must answer 25 questions on our site to showcase your research skills.

View the full post here.

I do however think that their most recent update has decreased the number of tip questions though, because all the questions I asked used to pay $2 from the site, and they no longer do - so if you're looking to try and get hired, I'd suggest jumping in now!

ALikeList Update

I just received an update from the folks at ALikeList: They're ending the $25 gift certificate program on October 22nd, which is this Thursday.

If you requested an invite from me, and didn't receive it, it probably went to your spam. If you can't find it, just send me a new request here and then keep an eye on your mailbox (and spam). It would come from my personal email address with Gmail and the subject line would include ALikeList in it.

Remember to get your gift certificate you need to at at least 20 places to your Like List and get 3 new members to sign up, after you've done that you need to contact the staff with ALikeList and let them know the emails of the people you referred. If you need the contact email (I've sent it to everyone through the site, or in the invite), use the form above and let me know!

I received my gift certificate already (through email) here's the proof.

Wanelo - Temporary Project

This isn't exactly the type of thing that I'd normally post in my blog, but because this seems to be an off and on project with them, I feel like it might have the potential to be a steady income gig.

Here's a freelance style project for parents being offered by a new website (that I really enjoy) called Wanelo - Want Need Love.

I wanted to test it out before posting it, I made $20 writing reviews on Thursday night and Friday morning. (Payment Proof)

1. Go to Wanelo and register. Make sure to upload a profile picture. (Registration is very quick. Don't worry–we never send out spam or ask for any personal information.)
2. Email momreviews1@wanelo.com to let us know your Wanelo username BEFORE writing any reviews. In the email, please let us know your age, the ages of all of your children, and your location. If you are hired, instructions for writing reviews will be emailed to you.

(Only the first 2000 qualifying reviews will be paid as of this posting.)

Qualifying reviews must be:

- in English
- between 110-130 words in length
- products reviewed must be products for babies, toddlers, older children, or specifically for parents.
- relevant to the product the review is about
- free of any curse words
- must employ good spelling and grammar

Updates!

Trekpay did their credit to cash conversion on Wednesday, unfortunately my computer had self rebooted over night so I'm not sure how many credits I had before the conversion. I'll also admit to slacking on this a little bit throughout the week and checking back for extra ads as often as normal. I'll pick up the slack this week!

I believe the rate was around the same as last week, roughly 250-300 credits for 70¢ but my profile page now tells me that I've moved up in rank, so hopefully that means the value of my credits will go up.
____________
If you haven't signed up with LiveWork yet, then I highly recommend doing so ASAP, I just got word yesterday that the new Query work should be up "soon" granted soon is a relative term. I've been getting impatient personally so I'm really hoping that soon means next week at the latest.
____________
Cloud Crowd has been busy making improvements to their system, so work has been scarce - hang in there though, there's more coming soon including something about singing according to one of their recent payment notes.

I really think that this one is worth the wait.

For an explanation of what's going on you can read this official letter from them.
____________
I also reached the $10 point range with LightSpeed Panel. Within less than 24 hours of posting that I was at 850 points I gained another 300 giving me just enough to cash out $10 - I'm holding off though to see if I can get to the $20 mark soon enough to include it in my October cash totals.

Goal Check!

October is officially half way over, and I figured it was time for me to do an update on my goal progression for the month.

My goal for October was to earn $200 by the end of the month through freelance work, sites, and other projects that I mention here. For the sake of simplicity I'm just going purely off of deposits made into my paypal account and monies sent to me in check form for the month at hand.

This means that pending payments and checks that are in the mail to me will not be included. Only cash that I already have access to will be tallied. It is important to note though, that with any Freelance or IC work I do will also count for whatever month I receive payment during. So even if a project ends at the ended at the end of September, but didn't pay out until October - it would count in for October.

Right now, I'm thrilled (and proud) to say that I'm right on par with my goal! Half way through the month and my PayPal balance is at $102.97 with the first deposit of the month being from YouData on October 2nd.

Here's the breakdown so far (cash totals may differ slightly from earned totals because of PayPal fees):

YouData: $1.97
LiveWork: $66.19
Cloud Croud: $34.81

Total: $102.97

I'm really proud of this, although it isn't a full time income - it's a great start especially since I'm just starting out with these programs and many of them (like Cloud Crowd) will be expanding and growing with me over time as well.

Thanks so much for sticking by me and keeping me encouraged, feel free to comment and share your input and successes!

"Maintenance"

I'm tinkering with my format, so if you refesh and the blog is suddenly totally different, don't be alarmed ;)

Survey Spot, Greenfield Online and Lightspeed Panel

Three quick survey site reviews, I've been working with them for a few weeks (since around the same time I started with SurveyHead) and I'm finally at a point where I feel like I can comment on them. None of them offer a referral program, so all of your earnings are purely based off of survey participation.

GreenFieldOnline: This one is a blessing and a curse. Would I recommend it? Yes!

First, I've been with them around three weeks now and am yet to actually qualify for an actual paying survey which is ridiculous to me.

BUT in that three weeks I did manage to qualify for a $30 "interactive survey panel". It was on October 5th and lasted a little over 90 minutes. It didn't credit into my account immediately so I didn't want to mention it, but it has since credited and I requested a PayPal deposit today. I don't expect the deposit until next month (they're a little slow) but still $30 for under 100 minutes of work is pretty darn good.

I received another chance to qualify for a panel today (for $50 this time) but I didn't qualify :(
___________
SurveySpot: Would I recommend them? At this time I can emphatically say No! I'm still waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel with this one. Most of the surveys they send out are just for "sweepstakes entries" which I'm not interested in really. When you do get a paying survey, and are capable of completing it, I'd recommend writing down the survey info.

They do NOT keep a record of what you complete readily available for you to view like others do. The money from surveys can take up to 6-8 weeks to post to your Rewards section and until that happens you just don't know if you'll get credit or not. In the 3 weeks that I've been with them nothing has posted to my account, and I didn't keep track of the surveys I qualified for and how much they were worth so I have no idea if I'm going to get shafted or not.

If I continue on with them, I'll be keeping tabs from now on.
___________
LightSpeedPanel: Would I recommend them? Yes!

This is probably ranked number two for me. Below Surveyhead but a step above Greenfield purely because I can never qualify for their regular surveys.

I've been with them since September 30th, my first survey credit was done on October 1st. In a course of 14 days I've managed to earn 845 points with them from their surveys. (Honestly, I could have earned more but I clicked the wrong button on a 300 point survey and hit enter before I realized it, and ended up disqualifying myself from it. Darn Philies game distracting me! If I'd finished that survey I'd have made $10 by now!)

They give points for awards, and honestly the value per survey is a little low - but the points add up quickly. They also have a quarterly $5000 drawing that you earn entries to when you qualify for the paying surveys. They offer different prizes you can turn in points for, including a wide array of gift certificates most of which are 550 points per 5 dollar increment.

Cash Conversion Rates:
$5 on PayPal = 575 points
$10 on PayPal = 1150 points
$20 on PayPal = 2300 points

IMShopping and IMReportCard

So I started putting a bit of time into a new find. IMShopping is a site where you can ask questions about merchandise and/or answer questions about merchandise.

Supposedly they select people periodically to become "Shopping Assistants" which means that you get money for each question you answer. However, until you're selected to do that (don't ask what the qualifications are, I don't know and neither does anyone I talk to) you can answer questions for "tips" of up to $2. To actually get the tip you have to be selected as the best answer.

I've only messed around on the site a little bit, answered 9 questions, and I've won best answer on 2 of those! The 9 I've answered also includes one I did before I had a clue what I was doing. Once you reach $40 you can cash out.

I think that if you put some decent time into it, it could be profitable. I haven't done it yet, but I plan on creating a schedule for myself and putting an hour into IMshopping daily to see what kind of turn around I can get from it.

Here's the first question that I was selected a winner for: Where can I buy a chemistry set for my daughter? at IMshopping

_____
Another site I've come across that has potential is IMReportCard. This is a site for grading and reviewing all kinds of financial oriented websites and programs. You get points for everything you do on the site, and you also earn points for anything your referrals do.

You get 50-150 points for writing a comment on a review, 10 points for grading a site, 1 point for rating other comments - etc. Each point is worth 1¢ and when you reach 2000 points ($20) you can cash out.

The site is legit, and has great earning potential BUT before you can do any rating you have to comment on something and get your comment approved. That's the hard part. It took me a couple weeks to come up with something that I could comment on because you have to have first hand detailed knowledge of it - and most of the more familiar ones (like TrekPay, YouData, etc) are closed because they've gotten enough comments already.

Regardless, at the very least, it's a good site for background checking sites before you sign up with them.

ALikeList and Crowd Cloud

Just a quick couple of updates.

First I've been sending out invites to everyone who has contacted me about ALikeList and the $25 Super Certificate from GiftCertificates.com.

Last night though it was brought to my attention by a fellow blogger, that their invite had gone to their spam folder! The user was a gmail member, so if you're still waiting on your invite and you used a gmail address, please check your spam. The subject should read something along the lines of "Check out AlikeList - a new way to find local businesses".

If you still can't find it in your spam then feel free to request another invite.

I know some gmail users found their invite without a hitch because they signed up very quickly after I sent it, but some still have invites sitting in pending status.
____________
Cloud Crowd is still going strong! I've made $30 since I started (proof), and I've never spent more than a half hour on the site in a day. I didn't actually fiddle with it much over the weekend though because of the maintenance they're doing.

Right now they're working on fixing a few different bugs and putting in some anti cheat precautions. Apparently a lot of scammers were just going through the work and putting in gibberish, approving incorrect work, and passing completely unedited work.

Not only is this harmful to the whole set up, but it was hurting the Credibility rating of the legit workers, and it was taking away money from us at the same time since these cheaters were getting it instead of us.

They're doing a few updates so tasks may be unavailable for a day or two, but you should still sign up ASAP so that you can start building up your Cloud Crowd and can jump right in when the work gets reopened.

It shouldn't be long from now, and they've also said that they have a data entry project coming up in the near future!

As soon as one of the project managers updates us, I'll update you ;)

YouData, Cloud Crowd, and a Weekend Off ;)

Just a quick post to say that I got my second payment from YouData (7¢ lol) and my third payment from Cloud Crowd ($9.45)!

I'll update the payment proof for both of them on Monday.

Since we've seen that Cloud Crowd does indeed pay out regularly, I won't be blogging about every payment - I'll just update the totals in my sidebar for it each day instead and add the proof to the album that's linked there as well. I'll only blog about it on special occasions ;) I will mention though, that they're doing maintenance over the weekend so they've announced that the jobs won't be quite as plentiful during this time frame, so don't be alarmed.

I still have the ability to invite people to ALikeList for the $25 gift certificate opportunity (check my last couple posts for details). Just fill out the form linked in the posts below to get your invite.

I'm going to take it easy on the blog this weekend. I'm really thrilled to see that I'm helping people out. I've gotten a few new followers this week, people are starting to leave comments, and there has been a steady stream of 100+ unique visitors coming in over the past few days.

It's exciting, and fulfilling to know that I'm providing information, leads, and help to so many people who can use it.

But - I don't want anyone who is following along on my journey to get overwhelmed, and I don't want to burn out - so I'm going to take today and tomorrow off... I bet that I'm actually going to have to force myself not to post haha

Have a great weekend everyone!

LiveWork, ALikeList, Cloud Crowd

ALikeList - I still have open invitations for people who want to earn a $25 Gift Certificate through them. They've actually extended the offer by a level, which means now MY recruits can earn it, and THEIR recruits can earn it! So I recruit Jenny, she can earn it, and if Jenny recruits John so can he, but whoever John recruits will not be eligible to earn it.

To send you an invite I do need an email address for you, I will not use it for any purpose other than sending the invite through the ALikeList form and forwarding your email address to the person in charge of the $25 Gift Certificates so they can mark you as eligible and qualified once you fulfill your goals.

The goals again are 1) Add 20 places to your Like List (this takes 10 minutes) and 2) Recruit three additional people to the program.

It's really simple, the site is really great (especially for those who enjoy supporting stores/doctors/schools that they feel are good quality), and the staff is the most amazing that I've ever dealt with. When you send in a concern to them, it's an actual warm blooded human person that responds - not prefilled cookie cutter responses.

To request an invite click here and fill out the form, once I send the invite I'll delete the form response from my email and that'll be the end of that, no need to worry about anything else coming from me unless you contact me.
_____________
CloudCrowd is proving to be really great. I got my second payout of $8.23 from them today since they pay daily via PayPal, I've added the payment proof to the appropriate folder on imageshack. (Payment Proof).

I'd really recommend getting in on this one now and building up your reputation with them early on because so far it seems really solid and getting in with a good program like this early on can be really exciting.
_____________
LiveWork finally paid out for the queries I did last month. It totaled up to $68.48. Just a reminder, this is a freelance site run by the folks who do LiveOps (legit telecommuting company). They hire folks as IC's (independent contractors) which means you have to save your own taxes to pay since they aren't deducted - but the work is easy and the pay is decent. I did Query work - which basically means you join a team, get a list of search queries like "1986 Cubs" or "free tote bag patterns", you look up some info on them, write a quick 5-7 sentences about the query and put a link in for more info at another site. You get about 64¢ each. At first it seems terrible because you start off slow, but once you relax you can knock out 12-15 an hour which is nice money.

The downside is that you don't get paid until the team finishes the project and the work is approved. In this case there were a few complications with people plagiarizing so it took a little longer. The projects ended on 9/29, and payment came through on PayPal earlier this evening, so it was about 9 days turn around. I assume it'd be a lot quicker normally. (Payment Proof)

There's also other freelance work available through them that pays by task or by the hour.

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.

Another Couple of "For Fun" Sites

I'm unsure of the status of this one currently, but am researching it. The site itself is of good quality and I'm really impressed with their staff as well, but it seems the gift certificate offer was not through them directly. I will update when I find out more.

I just stumbled into a new beta site that is giving out $25 gift certificates to new members who complete 2 simple tasks.

Step one, find 20 businesses on their website that you're familiar with and give them good feedback. This took me about 15 minutes to do because I started blanking out on companies that I really wanted to promote. You can choose to comment on small business, restaurants, auto shops, hospitals, pretty much anything - it's really an interesting idea.

The variety of places they have listed on the site is really impressive as well. For example, they include a small shop owned by my boyfriend's father - it's tiny, and maybe a year old, but is still available for review on their site. They include small family run shops as well as chain grocers, and even fire companies make the list!

Step two is just as simple, refer 3 additional users to the site so that they can spread the word about the places they love as well.
-------
I also signed up for Lockerz which is similar to ClubBing in that you earn points and turn them in for really awesome prizes (mp3 players, digital cameras, etc), however the point accrual is slower so the prizes are cheaper. It only takes a couple minutes to log in and earn points, but they are an invitation only site. It took me a while to track down someone to invite me, but I finally did earlier today. They're doing some pre launch maintenance today so the site may be up and down a bit.

I've earned 34 ptz (their term for points) today by logging in, answering their daily questions (which happened to be what blog do you visit most often lol), and playing a simple game where ptz fall from the top of the browser and you move the mouse back and forth to catch as many as you can. All that took less than 5 minutes.

The prize I'm currently eying (although I haven't looked at them all) is a Sony Cybershot 12.1 megapixel camera for 500 ptz. They also have video games for 100 ptz, game systems for 250-375, make up, jewelry, and many other prizes.

Unfortunately, both sites lack actual referral links which makes it a bit of a pain - current users actually have to email out an invite from the site using their form. If you're interested enter your email here and tell me what you want an invite to (both or just one, doesn't matter to me)

I'll send your invite(s) as soon as I get your form :)

Feel free to include any other info you'd like... comments on my blog (good or bad), inspirational stories, improvement ideas, etc.

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.))

Weekend Update

Don't worry! I haven't forgotten about you guys (or my goal!) I just had a busy weekend...

Just a quick update.

I'm really impressed with TrekPay so far, unless the credit to cash ratio is absolutely terrible, I can't see anything bad about this site. I'm up to over 220 credits in less than a week and the process is so incredibly speedy (unless the site in general is going slow). I look forward to seeing what that equates to later this week. When you sign up, remember to log out and back in if your ads aren't getting credited properly. I look forward to seeing what that equates to later this week.

I also joined a new site this weekend:

ClubBing - This is a purely for fun, take a break, type of site. There's no referral credit for this site, so what you earn is based purely off your own work. You actually get some really awesome prizes for playing games though. Play games for tickets (1000 per day max), turn them into awesome prizes (including video games, software like Microsoft Word, cook books from FoodNetwork personalities, etc), rinse and repeat.

What I haven't figured out is when/if games reset after you complete them... they definitely don't do so on a daily timer perhaps it's weekly? If they don't then the earning process may get a little tedious over time, but so far it's been quick and easy.

I'm shooting for a new MP3 player for my SO for Christmas :)

TrekPay and CashCrate

I signed up with TrekPay last night through another person's referral link. It's got a lot of positive reviews so even though it doesn't give any concrete numerical per click cash exchange values, I went ahead and jumped on board to try it out. (I joined about a day or two too late to see what last week's exchange rate was though.)

My credit accrual so far:
Week One: 300 Credits = 70¢
Week Two: Approximately 250-300 Credits = 70¢

The way it works is that you view their ads, and accrue credits, and once a week they convert credits into cash for you to cash out. The amount of money that each credit is worth is based on how much TrekPay earns.

I think the money making potential is pretty decent. I earned 21 credits last night after signing up, and am up to 42 credits now after the reset.

It's a speedy process, just click the link browse the page quickly to make sure the TrekPay symbol isn't on it to be clicked, then go back and click the next link. You may occasionally need to click an ad, but even that just takes a second to do. You don't have to remain on any page for any specific amount of time.

They say you can earn up to $50 a week off credit earnings. I'll be tracking each week's exchange rate in this post in the future.
__________

I also signed (back) up for CashCrate, I was a member with them before and made about $24 days in a couple of days with them. They're an oldy, but a goody! They do pay out, they have lots of offers, and aside from having to click through a lot of pages rejecting additional offers, they aren't too bad to handle.

Right now I'm taking it slow so I don't burn out like I did that first time, but if you're interested in jetting through all the offers, you can earn a decent chunk of change in just a day.

They have over 10 pages of "free" offers with different values ranging from 30¢ to $1 or more per completed offer.

I honestly recommend setting up an alternate email address to use for CashCrate though because you do tend to get some random spam after completing some of their offers. You also get notified each time an offer posts to your account as successfully completed.

September Recap

So I probably went about this backwards (lol) posting my October goals out of pure excitement before summarizing my September experiences. Oops!

September Recap:
Site || Date Started || Amount Earned in Sept.
SurveyHead Started || 9/26 || $8.00 (+$11.00 pending)
NeoBux (PTC) || 9/21 || 66.5¢
YouData (PTC) || 9/21 || $1.94
PeopleString || 9/29 || $2.03
SuperNovaBux (PTC) || 9/28 || 17.5¢

I also signed up with AlertPay in case I decide to join up with a site that prefers them over PayPal (although PayPal will remain my preferred method on sites that give an option.)

I joined LiveWork to pick up freelance job opportunities, remember their work is Independent Contract work so you'll have to file a W9.

I also applied with a few other work from home companies that won't be included in my goal tally since they may require phone work (although I will let you guys know if I hear back from them lol).

I want this blog to be about work that anyone can do. Whether you have a 4 year old little boy that runs around making car noises all day, a two year old little girl who sings Disney songs, or a newborn that requires constant attention, or if you just don't like phone work ;)

I'll be updating again later today with another site I've joined, but before I do that, I want to thank everyone who has been reading. I've had a couple people use my referral links, and I'm super thankful to you. I also have a new follower! Both of these things make me happy, because I know that it means I'm getting the word out, and that other people are benefiting from what I'm doing.

So thank you all, whether you just read, or you sign up, or you add me to follow, thank you for helping me stay inspired!
