paid forums

There are a number of paid forums on the web. My favorite ones are My lot and gather. They are easy to understand and easy to navigate. It is also fun to connect with others online. I have been a member of gather for about a year and half and mylot slightly longer. I have made about one hundred dollars on my lot and about 75.00 on gather. It is nice to be able to earn giftcards on gather as well. I have experimented with other forums but I have found these to be the easiest to use and also the most profitable for me.

Amazon Certificates

I belong to a few differnt online forums many of which offer Amazon certificates as payment. The online forums do not require a lot of work just usually answering a few questions per week, most of them offer ten dollar monthly Amazon incentives in lieu of cash. I was just able to get an ipod alarm clock with my certificates and have gotten other items in the past such as an ipod shuffle, a blender, electric toothbrush and dog grooming products. I think these sites are good because it is easy to participate and earning the certificates is nice. I would for opportunites to join these communities as the compenstation is more than fair for most of them.

Swagbucks

I dont know how many of you are currently using swagbucks as a search engine, but it is a pretty good site. If you dont know what it is, it is a site where you get paid for searching, you just surf the sites on the internet as you would normally do and swagbucks will credit your account with swagbucks. You get get anywhere from 1 to 3 credits per search. You can also participate in contests and such to earn extra bucks.
I have just gotten my second amazon gift card by participating. I like this site, because it has a toolbar you can download to make searching easier.

experimentation

This morning I was experimenting with different sites that promise a payout. I have been looking at GSN (Gameshow Network which allows you to either get paid for or to earn giftcards by earning oodles. You answer trivia questions or play games to earn oodles which you can exchange for cash and prizes. I also signed up for Prizelive which is a GPT site. This site has been around for awhile and promises payment with offers completed. I also was checking out cash lagoon again, but many people complained about offers not crediting and their site has some blinking going on. I couldn't get signed in. Just reached payout from Valued Opinons for the 4th time. It is a pretty good survey site. They are now offering 20 Visa cards so that is pretty good compensation for spending your time on there.

new skill

I have just copied and pasted some pictures from other places on the web onto my
blog. I know that isn't that big of a deal but it is a new skill for me. The next thing is to be able to post pictures from my digital camera on to various places on the web. I think there are other places to place pictures and to be able to be paid for them. One of the sites I could post my pictures is gather and another is red gage.
Another site that pays for photographs is red bubble. I know a number of people who have posted there and have been paid for their pix. My digital camera is now back in comission and I want to take advantage of using it. Anyway to make money on the web is good as far as I am concerned.

Twitter

I have been writing on twitter to get some followers, with two hundred followers you can monetize your twitter account. So far I have 59 so I have a ways to go, anyone interested in following me on there is crtainly welcome to. I enjoy tweeting ocassionally, although I must confess twitter seems pretty pointless for the most part.
still continuing with my survey sites and writing. I no longer am writing for reviewstream though. They continue to disappoint me. I have to forfeit almost 30 dollars but OH well...What are you going to do?

Social Networking Sites

I have been experiermenting with various social networking site, of course I am primarily interested in those that pay money. I really am too busy though to work on more than one or two sites at a time. I of course have my accounts on my lot and gather, but there is also morachat a paid social forum and global earn talk. Of course if you can get enough of a following you can also make money on twitter and facebook.
I will work on getting more followers and see if this is something I can potentially make money on. I may also work on some sort of blog posting site like smorty or today.com. They might be able to help me.

Trek pay

I think I am going to give Trekpay another opportunity as they seem to regularly be making payouts. It is a site that is a PTC. I don't like PTC's in general as they seem to always make it difficult to reach payout, but I think this one might be a little bit different. I think it is worth experimenting with site again because a number of people seem to think this is a good and worthwhile site. I will let you know whether or not I do reach payout. It is something that is worth exploring. I am continuing with my other moneymaking sites.

new online community

I was recruited by another online community. I don't want to say too much about it, because generally communities like to keep their information information private. I am excited about it though because it will enable me to earn more amazon certificates. I had enough this month to get a 10 speed Hamilton Beach blender. We have ideas for drinks we want to make for the upcoming labor day weekend. Online communites are a great idea to earn gift certificates. Most of them are pretty specific as to their requirements, but they are easy to participate in and allow you to earn gift certificates which come in handy.

IM Report Card

IM Report card is quickly becoming my favorite site. It is a really good way to earn about products and services offered on the internet. I think this site is soemthing that is going to be around for a long time as it is exceptionally useful to those of this who are trying to make a living on the internet. I think this service is one that people can really use. The best thing is that you can make money for reviewing the site. I would definitely take some time to look at this site and let it work for you, in terms of accomplishing your objectives of making money on the internet.

IM report card

I like IM report card the new site that lets you read and rate sites on the internet. This site pays you for rating reviews received on other sites and also
for writing comments on various websites. You need 2,000 points to cash out which I discussed in my last post. This is the cash equivalent of 20.00 and it is payable by paypal. I plan to try to reach the cash out limit today since I could use some money
(as usual) They pay by paypal so we will see how long it takes to get the money put in my paypal. I made a few mistakes with Hausernet, so I dont know if they are going to be senidng me any more mail. I think I probably have reached the cash out though.
They pay at the end of the summer I believe. IM report cards have given me some good ideas about programs to check out or follow up on, such as Easyhits4U, and cashle. Was paid by My lot on Friday.

posting

I have been busy with my various enterprises. I have cashed out on my lot. Gather is proving to be more challenging as they seem to have slowed down point accrual.
I missed the payout with hausernet also. I like gather because there is a lot of useful information on there, but in terms of cashing out it sems as though it has become incredibly slow. I am working on my surveys as well as the new site IM report card. You need at least two thousand points to reach payout on there. The site seeems like it has potential though. I will keep you posted.

Updates

I am not finding alot of success with TRekpay, but I may continue with it for awhile. It does seem to pay some people. They send weekly updates with your information included, although I accidently clicked on some of the links a few times and they threw out all of my credits. I was accused of "cheating." I did not appreciate that. I have been experimenting with IM Report card which is a useful site because it tells you which internet business ops are worth pursuing. You also are paid from participating on the site. Hausernet is apparently paying out, but
I may not have reached the minimum payout since I havent been paid as of yet. I have been posting alot on my lot to make the payout this month and after I do I will focus my attention on writing reviews again. Continuing with my work

paid to post forums,trek pay

I have still been experimenting with paid to post forums. I am still routinely posting on my lot and gather but in addition I have posted on postparker.com and cash talk. I really can't figure out cash talk that well however. I have often
posted on other forums as well like makemoney kingdom. I think that i will often
check on these forums but none of them are as user friendly as my lot and to a lesser extent gather. I have heard conflicting information about postparker anyway.
I am experiementing with a new site trekpay. trekpay is a PTC site but people claim you can reach payout every week. It will be interesting to find out.

still working

I have become unhappy with reviewstream. It doesnt seem to pay the way it did previously. Their site claims to pay two dollars per review but most reviews are paying more in the neighborhood of forty cents per review. I think that it is a bit too little for the effort you put into the reviews. I have heard fairly good things about epinions so that is a site that I am going to continue to follow and will probably starting posting on their site soon. I continue to post on my lot and gather which to me are the most lucrative of the social networking sites. I upgraded my account on clixsense as well. Clixsense does pay out and it has paid me to upgrade in the past.

June

As I have predicted June is not going to be as good a month for me as May was. I think that I will continue to make money with sites, but at a slower pace. I have continued with my writing sites Reviewstream, as well as gather and my lot. I have been working at Hausernet, but it is too soon to say what I have been making. I hope the money making potential is high. I have heard of people making 300 dollars every other month. This is a good site and one that I hope will be lucrative. Time will tell however. I also continue to get Amazon certificates from my paid forums

Lucrative May

I had a very good earning month last month. The total amount was about 228.99. This was not all in cash but involved a combination of cash and giftcards from various sites. It just worked out that they all came due about the same time. I don't expect nearly that much in earnings this month, but I am working on it. I think swagbucks has potential to be a good site and a lot of people are using it. They offer various incentives such as giftcards etc., but you need quite a few points to be able to get something worthwhile. I have just started using the Hausernet site so it is too soon to tell whether or not it is going to be a good site. I think it has potential to be.
I am continuing to write on various sites as well, to make money. There is a site that pays 5.00 per health review, I will let you know how that site is working for me.

you data.com

I have found a new and interesting website that pays you to view ads. It is a very nice site because they pay on Friday's with paypal, every Friday without fail. It
is very easy to go to this site and view the ads. The payments are not major, but they do allow you to make money the easy way. Last week I was paid 2.39 for my ad viewing, this week it should be about 1.50. You are not going to get rich with you data, but it is a way to make easy money. I have also had a contact from Hausernet services the agency that pays you to recieve the direct mail. Some people make some pretty good cash working for Hausernet in the neighborhood of a few hundred dollars every other month. I am using my cell phone exclusively now so I will no longer be doing the Neilsen Homescan panel. I will be turning in my scanner.

Annikas

I wanted to take some time to talk about a site that I like alot. This site is Annika's and is owned by Amy Lynn. She maintains a comprehensive list of survey sites over 900 in number and discusses the paying sites as well as the ones that you should stay away from. She also maintains a list of forums some of which are local and some of which are online that will pay their members. I have found this site to be very helpful and has helped me make a few hundred dollars over the time that I have been following this site. I would highly recommend Annika's because it is free and also
it is a site that is worth investigating as a moneymaking venture. I think it is the most comprehensive list of paying surveys online. You can easily subscribe to this site and I think it is definitely worth doing so.

swagbucks,vinefire

I have been experimenting with swagbucks. This is something that is supposed to earn you giftcards for doing the same searches that you would be doing on google. I think that it has potential as others have gotten several giftcards from this site. Another site that I have been investigating is vinefire. Vinefire is in the beta stage and should be giving payouts in October. This is their latest prediction. It is a site that
many people have made money on in theory. I will be interested to see whether or not this comes to fruition. May was a good month for me earnings wise (in the two hundred dollar range) counting my Amazon giftcards, but thus far June does not look so promising, having some troubles with reviewstream. I hope to start publishing on Constant Comment. They pay well for articles in the subject matter they are looking for.

new ventures

I am no longer writing for textbroker and have not gotten any mail from Hausertrack. I am experiementing with a new blog called getpaidbyus. I am also working with today.com blogging. These are too new to me to let me know how they are going to go. I do like experiemenitng with different moneymaking stragtegies. i still like reviestream as a moneymaking enterprise, plus my lot and gather. I have my various survey sites that work for me as well.

social networking

I have been working on gather and my lot to make some money. I guess that I like
dong thta sometimes as opposed to writing. I guess there are other things that make money, but social networking is fun. I think there are gome really good things you can do to make moeny. I havent beent hta excited about blogging.

back at last

I was unable to sign into my blog for some unknown reason but at last I am back. I have been writing for textbroker as well as continuing with my previous projects. My earnings are now close to around 100.00 dollars a month, but I need to continue to make money being as I am now supporting myself for the most part and one hundred a month is not going to do it obviously. I found a lucrative study on Annika's which is fifty dollars a month.

Hausertrack

I have been investigating Hausertrack which is a program to pay you for mail reception. I think this might be a good thing, because I have heard from other people that they make approximately one hundred and seventy five dollars every three months for mail collection. I have just started this however. i don't know how it works. I will find out.

Mystery Shopper Scam

Watch Out For Mystery Shopper Scams


National Notary Now Issue # 114 — January 2009

With times being leaner for everyone, many Notaries are looking for new kinds of work to supplement their incomes. However, the Nevada Attorney General’s office recently warned consumers about ads claiming to hire “mystery shoppers” that are actually a scam to cheat applicants.

Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto recently issued an advisory about the scam, which hires victims to evaluate a money transfer service as “mystery shoppers.” The grifters send authentic-looking business or cashiers checks with a face value of up to several thousand dollars, then ask victims to deposit the checks into their accounts and wire a portion of the “funds” to a designated address while keeping the “balance” as payment. When the check inevitably bounces, consumers are out both the money they wired and any fees for the overdraft.

Examples of genuine mystery shopping involve activities such as visiting a business to perform normal activities like purchasing products and then providing feedback on the experience. To avoid scams, the Mystery Shopping Providers Association has a Web site (s. The MSPA states on its site that legitimate companies will never promise large sumwww.mysteryshop.org) with information on how to locate legitimate companies for work opportunities of fast cash or require consumers to pay an up-front fee to become a mystery shopper.

post

I'm just continuing with my same money making ventures. I have not heard about any new sites recently so I am just continuing with the ones I have already been working on,
I like to do online writing so I have been working on that with textbroker. It is interesting.

update

I hope everyone had a happy holiday season. Mine was uneventful. I have been writing quite a bit for the textbroker.com site. The articles requested are relatively easy to do and you can reach pay out at ten dollars. I haven't been able to sign up on the Hausernet site yet but it is something that I am intending to do. I am continuing with my other moneymaking activities. I have many things to keep me busy as you well know.
I'm trying to increase my earnings at all times.
