Money for forum posting

Some people at some of the WAH forums I frequent have been talking about a site called Postloop. It looks interesting they are estimating that they are making around $8 per hour, but haven't actually cashed out yet.

I went ahead and signed up and posted my first 10 posts for review. Hopefully this will turn out to be a legitimate site. Would be great to get paid for chatting with people on a forum.

I will update the if I ever actually hit payout and will post a screen shot of when I get paid.

According to Postloop you get .05 per point and the average post gets 1 point. I guess a rough calculation would be that it would take 20 points to equal a dollar. I don't know my brain hurts, I have a headache and don't really feel like figuring the numbers out. I will update later with a better description of this site at a later time.

It Pays To Know People

I am very excited today. I was just offered a new opportunity to make money. The client that I do some private work for offered to pay me to moderate their forum. It doesn't pay a whole lot, $15 a week, but it won't take that long to do either. All I will need to do is make sure people are posting in the correct spots, aren't spamming the forum, and post topics occasionally.

Update on Month So Far

With a week left to go for the month, it doesn't look like I will hit my goal income. This has been a very slow month for pretty much all of my work so far.

On the VA side, 2 clients put their accounts on hold for an indefinite time. They both are going back to more traditional work, because it offers more security than what they were previously doing. While I am sad to let them go, I understand that they wish for more security in their work.

As for my other work, my husband has started a new job so he's had a week of in between them, so I haven't been as focused on the additional things I can. Instead, we have spent more time hanging out with our kids and spending time together. Great for the family, but horrible for my motivation to work.

At least I have met my base goal of what I absolutely need to make, so I can at least be happy with that.

Treasure Trooper

I have been a member of Treasure Trooper for quite a while now and have truly enjoyed making money with them. Unfortunately, my time has been taken up by other pursuits, so I have really done anything with them since about January.

If you don't know what Treasure Trooper is it's a GPT site where you get paid to perform certain actions. To make the best use of this, I would advise creating a handful of emails with something like mail.com, so that your real email address doesn't get hit by a bunch of scam.

Even though I haven't actively used TT, I have been using the app of Facebook. You get a free Jackpot spin everyday and have the chance to win money, pearls, relics, and gold coins. If you get all 4 of the relics you can win $100. I've been doing it since the app was released and have 3 of the 4 relics.

In a later post, I will write a more detailed description of Treasure Trooper.

Earning Cash Back On Your Online Purchases

If you do a great deal of shopping online you may be able to receive back a percentage of what you spend. A great site that I like to use is called BigCrumbs. I don't do a lot of shopping online, but the few times I have I purchased the items through BigCrumbs. The purchases I made were from Walmart.com.

The percentage you get back depends on the retailer and in order to get the cash back you have to go through the links on the BigCrumbs website before purchasing.

In addition to earning cash back on your purchases, you can also earn money from referrals who sign up under you.

In the next few days, I will be adding the payment proof on the Proof of Payment page, so be sure to check it out.

If you want to sign up for BigCrumbs visit www.bigcrumbs.com or sign up through my referral link.

Getting Paid To Watch Ads

So, I was looking across one of the work at home forums that I frequent. It's called Beezag. From what I have read of it online, it seems to be legit.

In order to make money, you have to watch ads that match your profile and you are rewarded points. For every 1,000 points you can get $1. Minimum cash out is 8000 points. I was able to make 200 points yesterday by watching 5 ads.

With this website you actually have to watch the ads and keep an eye out for scrolling numbers that go by as you watch it. At the end of the video it will ask you what numbers scrolled by. If you don't answer the question or answer incorrectly you don't get the points, but you have the opportunity to watch the ad again.

I'll update again if I should make the payout.

How I Make My Swagbucks

I have found Swagbucks to be a great way to build up Amazon giftcards. I average enough points to get about 1-2 Amazon giftcards per month. Each giftcard costs 450 Swagbucks. Here is how I make those points.

First, I do all the daily activities which reward Swagbucks. These are:
1 buck for loading the toolbar
1 buck for looking at the daily surveys
1 buck for taking the daily poll
2 bucks for going through the No Obligation Special Offers (NOSO)

Just by doing that, I get a minimum of 5 swagbucks per day.

In addition to that, I try to enter every Swagcode that I can. To help me do this I follow SBCodez on Twitter. Every time there is a new Swagcode the send a message out on Twitter letting you know. Now, I don't really pay attention to Twitter, so I have Twitter email me when there is a new update from SBCodez. Since I am near my computer off and on all day while I work, I just leave a browser tab open to my email and check it every once in a while.

In addition to those two things, I also make sure to do a few searches each day. An easy way to do this but not just be spamming for searches is to use Swagbucks for when I do research for my writing. I win for searching about 2-3 times per day and average around 8-15 Swagbucks each time.

Earnings For June

Now that I am updating my earnings on the sidebar, I thought it would be nice to have a post with what my June earnings were. 


VA Work: $719.51
Private Client: $160
Textbroker: $107.38
Merchant Circle: $4
Surveys: $6
Swagbucks: $10 (in Amazon Giftcards)
QuickRewards: $0.93

Total: $1007.82

I exceeded my goal for the month by a whole $7. Yay!! Unfortunately that was used to get caught up on past bills, so I feel like I have nothing to show for it. I'm thinking of opening up a savings account specifically for all my extra online earnings such as surveys and writing. So it doesn't end up being spent in the day to day life. 

Found a new egg to make money

Came across a new egg to make money. It's called SliceThePie and you get to review songs from unknown artists. I've had the songs on in the background for part of the day while I finished some writing assignments. So far, I've totaled $3 and some change. Not too bad for not really actively trying. I just switch browsers and jot down my comments once the song is over and I get a chance.

It starts you off making 2 cents per review as a 1-star rater. You can reach up to a 5-star rater and can earn 20 cents per review. Not bad. Should you only listen to the minimum 60 seconds of a song you could make as much as 12 per hour as a 5 star rater if your internet is really fast. Now I doubt that anyone really makes that much but it is a great way to earn some extra cash in your spare time.

I'll update on if the site actually pays in a couple of days. I plan to hit the minimum payout of $10 in a few days. I only spent about an hour on it. Hour and a half tops. Today was my first day doing it and I am already a 3 star rater. That means I make 10 cents per review.

If you would be interested in signing up for SliceThePie visit https://www.slicethepie.com/SignUp.aspx, and no it's not an affiliate link, so I get nothing from you signing up with them.
