July - The Month in Review

Its been quite a good month on the money making front. I have earned the grand total of £47.83. - £22.00 better than last month. But not enough to give up my day job!!

I had hoped to have had more paid blog posts offered to me, but I only received 1.

So, this month I have been paid by:
Paid to click:
archerfish - £3.00
adpaid - £2.42
10ads - £0.96
Cashback sites:
rpoints - £4.47
linemypocket - £10.00
cashbackbay - £8.42
britishrewards - £7.61
Surveys:
lightspeed - £6.00
Others:
bloggerwave - £4.86
found - £0.09

I'm still here!!

Well... what a week - my money making project was put on hold for a couple of days as I had a little problem to worry about -- namely a couple of flooding Oxfordshire rivers. Thankfully the water did not come into my home - except into the brick shed where i keep my bicycle. If the water was an inch or two higher it would have been in my flat. The bottom two rows of bricks of the building were submerged.
On a more positive note - I received £10.00 from linemypocket and have done a couple more surveys.

This morning I have read some forum posts that say Adbux is a scam. I am seriously considering stopping this program as I dont earn very much from it.

Update

It seems that gainpay.com is picking up slightly - instead of having 1 or 2 paid emails a day, I am getting 7 or 8. I hope that things continue to improve on this site as I have earned a fair bit from them.
I have had several surveys today - one of which was from pureprofile and I earned £1.00, There are regular advert click-thru's where you can earn 5p each.

Some interesting news....

I have spotted some news from Google that they are setting up an online payment system to rival Paypal. I have a couple of ideas that may help it to be better than PP.

• Have a better exchange rate.


• dont have a monthly receiving limit on accounts.

I will be comparing the two payment systems to determine which is best/cheapest when 'Google Payment' is up and running.

In the post this morning, I have received the £10.00 John Lewis/Waitrose gift voucher from Pigsback.com - this was a bit of a suprise as our post sorting office had been on strike this week.

I gotta lotta money...

Well... some money.
I have received payment from lightspeed surveys - £6.00, and from Britishrewards - £7.61. I have requested payment from cashbackbay - yet another shopping cashback site - for £8.42.
I have had many surveys in the last couple of days - about 50% I qualified for - earning cash and points to go towards shopping vouchers.
Still no sign of any paid to post offers :-(

Another request.

I have just requested a payment from linemypocket - to the value of £10.00. hopefully this month I will be able to reach level 9 of the earnings chart - £256.00+.

cashout time

I have requested payment from three sites I am a member of this weekend. ECashRewards - a shopping cashback site with daily clicks - are sendig me £17.00 by bacs. Rpoints is another shopping cashback site which has daily clicks - you are rewarded with points that can be converted into cash - the conversion rate is 1 point to 1p. I have requested £4.47, payable to my paypal account within 7 days.
Lastly, I have requested a £10.00 John Lewis/Waitrose voucher from Pigsback.com - as they do not pay out cash, I will be swapping this voucher for cash with my family as they buy some stuff from waitrose on a regular basis. Pigsback is yet another cashback site - but there are no daily clicks, instead, every monday you can click on a small number of their advertisers to earn 10 piggypoints each - equal to 10p each. there is also 10 piggypoints available each week for answering a quiz question from their advertiser Totally London.

10ads

I have received payment of $2.00 (£0.96) from a paid ro read site called 10ads. Its not the fastest earning site by a long way but when you do reach cashout, they pay quickly. Payment requests are at $1.00 and $2.00. Normally, I receive one half a cent ad and three or four quarter cent ads each day (average 1 and a half cents a day).

I have had a few more survey invites - some I qualified for and some I didnt.

No sign of any Paid to post assignments yet - but I am still hopeful.

Whilst surfing the web this morning, I came across this quote and thought it was rather appropriate to my project.........

"Cash, like a person, is a living thing. When you wake up in the morning and go to work, you are selling a product - yourself (or more specifically, your labour). When you realize that every morning your assets wake up and have the same potential to work as you do, you unlock a powerful key in your life. Each dollar you save is like an employee. Over the course of time, the goal is to make your employees work hard, and eventually, they will make enough money to hire more workers (cash).
When you have become truly successful, you no longer have to sell your own labor, but can live off of the labor of your assets. "

Amen to that!!

More progress

Things are continuing to improve and gather momentum in my money making quest. I have had a few surveys from the various sites that I am a member of - including Yougov and Ipsos, I have received my second payment from Bloggerwave ($10.00 or £4.86) and I found 9p outside my front door.
I have also received notification from Blogvertise that my blog has been accepted into their advertising program - so, I will be writing a few more paid blog posts. I will join more paid to blog sites as soon as I qualify as this seems to be a really good way to earn money.

Blogvertise.

I have found a new Paid per blog post site called Blogvertise. I have signed up and I am awaiting approval. Basically, what they do is send you a URL to their advertisers site, you check it out and write a review, publish it in your blog and link to the site - easy really. Payment is via paypal and average payments are $5.00 to $10.00 each review.

Paid again.

Archerfish.co.uk have sent me £3.00 via Paypal yesterday. Also, I had a survey from Ipsos - worth 350 points (buys a £2.00 voucher for Argos, Boots or WHSmith) - the subject was cough and cold medicine! Thats the good thing about doing surveys, They can be about absolutely anything - you never know what you are going to get.

Joined a new Paid To Click.

I am checking out a new (to me) Paid To Click site called LinkGrand. LinkGrand is a profit sharing internet advertising company that will pay you to visit their advertiser's websites. As I've only just joined today, I am not sure how many ads there are a day. Each ad is worth a third-of-a-cent and there is a timer of around 20 seconds. Cashout is at $5.00, Payment is by paypal. If you would like to join this site then please click on the link above or click on the banner below. I shall be reporting how I get on with this site at a later date.
This one looks promising! (I hope!)
