June - The month in review.

This month I have earned (or rather - have been paid) the grand total of £25.06. - Actually, I have earned more than this but I am waiting to reach payout levels on some sites - this will happen in July.
Hopefully this will improve over the next few months as I will be signing up to sites that pay me to write sponsored blog posts.

This months earnings came from:

british rewards - £5.32
linemypocket - £5.00
alphapoints - £5.00
bloggerwave - £4.89
gainpay - £2.95
apairof - £1.00
found - £0.90

So:
Cashback sites have earned me £15.32 (61.13% of the months earnings)
PTR sites have earned me £3.95 (15.76%)
Paid blogging has earned me £4.89 (19.51%)
Finding money has earned me £0.90 (3.6%)

Archerfish.

I have requested a payout from archerfish.co.uk.
I have been with this site for a year and have earned nearly £20.00.
Archerfish.co.uk is a PTR and PTC website which will pay you between 0.25p (1/4 of a pence) and 1p to click on ads. The value of each ad will depend on how much the advertiser has paid for placing that particular ad on the site, which in turn will correspond to how long you have to keep the page open, for example a 0.25p click had to be kept open for 15 seconds, a 0.5p ad window for 25 seconds. You can only have one ad open at a time - to prevent cheating.
Payout can be made by Paypal, cheque and amazon vouchers.
There are several sections in which money can be made:

• Paid To Click - usually a few ads, there is a click competition in which every ten clicks one lucky clicker wins 0.5p. I have won over 85p from this competition!
• Paid To Read Emails - at the moment there are about three or four emails a day - mostly reoccurring.
• The top clicker contest - click the most number of ads in one week and win a prize.

Pro's and con's:
(+) quick to pay out after request. Pays in £GBP.

(-) takes a long time to get to payout (£3.00). Only people living in the UK can join.

Doubling

I have decided to introduce a way of tracking the amount of money I make online. I have been reading posts on the Doublers Den forum and it has inspired me to adapt some of the principles of doubling to my project - there are ideas and stories of how people have made their money.
Doubling involves starting off with nothing, then finding 1p or £1.00 and then doubling it until you have reached your target - which is usually £1million!
In the rules of doubling, you have to spend or invest your current stake to reach the next level - say, going from £128.00 to £256.00. But, the tight-wad that I am, I cannot bring myself to spend my hard earned online cash. I will be using the target table to break the earning target into smaller chunks.
I have not heard of anyone who has actually reached the millon target - a few of the bloggers and members of the forum are making good progress in their challenge.
I have added my target table to my blog and I will be signing up to the Doublers Den shortly.

On a different note... I have had a couple of surveys in the last few days. I am also considering a mass cashout request from all the sites I am a member of.

Bloggerwave paid!

Today I received payment of $10.00 from Bloggerwave - after conversion via paypal, I ended up with £4.89. which isnt bad considering. I have had the second article approved aswell, so there will be even more cash coming my way.

I have joined Adbux - but, at the moment I am not particularly impressed... There are three what I call 'static' ads - which are there all the time, and many other 'flash' ads - which pop up and disappear very quickly. As I go out to work during the day, I miss out on many of them.

I am still waiting for the owners of Paid 2 to start posting their ads. If there are going to be as many ads as they say, it should be good.

Paid 2

I have just signed up to a new 'paid to' site called.....well....Paid 2. It hasn't started sending out paid emails or paid clicks yet as the owner is waiting for 250 people to sign up first. (currently there are 134 - the site was launched on 21 june). It is owned by the same person who owns BritishRewards. The payout level is £4.00 and you get a little present for signing up.
They offer a very good referral rate too.
Please use my link or banner to sign up, Thanks.

New earning opportunity - Bloggerwave.

I have decided to try and increase the amount of money I am earning each month – to help with this I recently signed up with Bloggerwave – a pay per review blog advertising scheme. You log in to their site to see if they have any available opportunities, write a review of the website, service or product, publish your review in your blog and wait for it to be approved – payment will be received after the specified time.
I have been offered a couple of opportunities by Bloggerwave – and have accepted them both. I am hoping it will not be long before others appear.
The site itself is easy to use and doesn’t take long to sign up.
This could be a good money earner.

More money.

I found 90p in a drinks vending machine today, which has made me break through the £200.00 mark!
I also had a survey from YouGov, it was one of their brandindex ones - worth 50p.
Shortly afterwards, i received a survey from ciao about IT - I qualified for it and earned £1.40.

Blog advertising.

I have just signed up to a site that offers cash for writing adverts on you blog. I will give more details when my blog has been approved. I hope to write a handful of paid articles a week as time allows - this should bring in some decent money and boost my earnings significantly.

Apairof

YES! - I have just received payment of $2.04 (£1.00) from Apairof. I just hope that they start sending me some more emails.
Update: I have just sent an email to the webmaster about this.

A bit concerned.

There are two sites that I am a member of that I am a little bit concerned about, they are Gainpay and Apairof.

Firstly, Gainpay - The number of emails I have received has dropped dramatically from about 20 to 2. I am hoping that this is a temporary glitch as I have made a decent amount from them in the past.

Secondly, Apairof - A few days ago the site was unobtainable, now, there are no emails. I have asked for a cashout - so we'll see what happens.

YouGov surveys

I had a survey from Yougov this morning, for the princely sum of 50p. It covered various topics. The only downside to YouGov that I can see is that the payout level is £50.00. - and earning on average 50p a survey, it takes ages to achieve. But, if you are sent a survey, there are no screener questions, so you are sure to get the money credited to your account.

I also had a survey from Lightspeed Research. This time it was about the BBC. I qualified for it and was cedited with 150 points. 115 points are worth £1.00 paid via PayPal. You can swap your points for other stuff - such as HMV vouchers, crockery etc.

More surveys

Today I was invited to take four surveys, two from ciao, one from ipsos and one fron surveys.com. I only qualified for two of them - one from Ciao about toothpaste etc which earned me £1.36 - and another from Ipsos which earned me 250 points.

The pros and cons of Ciao are:
(+) They send out interesting surveys, you can write reviews of products.
(-) They take a long time to credit your account and take up to 6 weeks to pay you when you cash out.

Ipsos pays you relatively quickly in points - which can be redeemed for WHSmiths, Boots or Argos vouchers. I will probably sell the vouchers to family or on ebay.

Payout arrived.

I got the $1.00 (49p) from Gainpay today. I am two fifths of the way to another payout - this 20c was reached in only two days. I hope the number of emails stays high.

More survey invites.

Today I received two survey invites from Ciao.co.uk and Ipsos - unfortunately I did not qualify for either of them. This can get a bit irritating after a while. Ipsos gives you 10 points if you do not qualify - which is nice (at least you get something).
I am considering signing up to PayPerPost when my blog is over 90 days old - as I understand that there is good money to be made.
I have reached the $1.00 cashout level at Gainpay again - I am going to request a withdrawl.
