Make Money - SendEarnings.com update #4

It's been a few months since I put sendearnings.com up here and I thought I would do an account update for all of you.

I admit that you won't earn a living off of this, but you can a few dollars. I spend maybe two minutes a week on it. They send me an email that I click on, then when it takes me to their site I do a handful of searches. I only make a few cents a week, but an extra $30 in my pocket every year or two is still nice to have.

I am only up to $6.92 which means I have earned less than a $1 since April, but like I said, I'm not planning to get rich from this. I just want a little bit of extra cash.

If you click on one of these banners you get a $5 head start.

Nelves by Joni

My last several posts have been on saving and making money, something we all need to do, so I thought it was time that I flipped back over to the re-purposing/recycling part of my blog.

I want to introduce you to Nelves, The Nature Loving Elves by my friend Joni. She started making these a short while ago as a way to try and get an income and they have taken off.

Nelves Nature Loving Elves! Nelves help Mother Nature look her best! Hand made and no two are exactly the same.

Nelves are fun
They laugh, they play
They take care of nature in a really great way!
They talk to the trees, the bears and the bees.
They make flowers grow and help rivers flow
They take care of the fish and the birds
The ocean and the forest
The mountains and deserts
The parks and fields

They live in the tree in the middle of a field
In the coral in the ocean
In the park and the city
They can’t be seen but they are there
Helping nature happily

Don’t think they are rude
They don’t mean to intrude
But they can’t help but stop in your garden
To give an encouraging word to the things that you grow
Just wanted you to know

They are here now to ask for your help
You can help in so many ways
Little things really, but they pile up in a hurry.
Pick up the garbage, the can and the wrapper.
Throw out that garbage! Recycle that box!
Reduce, reuse and recycle all that you can!

One last thing they ask and it’s not hard at all
Plant a seed, plant a garden of veggies or flowers
Plant a tree for the future
Help them grow
The Nelves say thank you!

Make Money: Zerys.com

As I said in an earlier blog post you can make some money by writing, the problem is knowing where to start.

If you want to write and make some money fairly quickly then I suggest you head over to zerys.com. You make a fortune, but, if you can write, then you can pull in some money. Don't expect to start writing instantly. You need to fill out their application and submit a writing sample.

An editor at zerys will review your sample and give you a rating. This rating gives you your initial standing at zerys. Once you've been approved you log in, fill out your profile and start looking at jobs available on the board.

If your initial rating is low then you will probably start out with articles that only pay .7 to 1.4 cents per word, but it's a start, and once you up your rating you can choose higher paying jobs. Your rating increases with your quality and is judged by the clients.

This is a good place to get a feel for what people want written and a great place to return to when your budget is running a little short at the end of the month.

NPD Online Research

There are a lot of survey sites out there, but most of them send you the wringer to get any form of payment. There are a few sites that I participate it, I won't say that they pay great but I do get the occasional free product, or $5 cheque from them.

NPD Online Research is a site I have used for a while.You get entered in their monthly drawing for $1000 with every completed survey, plus you earn points you can enter into drawings for various prizes. Occasionally they have specialized surveys that pay you cash or send you products to test. I just finished a week long survey on food for points, sweepstakes entries and a $25 gift card.

Yes, that is my referral link, but it doesn't really get me anything except an entry in a quarterly drawing. Their referral program is not much to write home about.

Make Money Writing

If you are the type of person that reads some of the news articles on Yahoo and flinches, then you are probably aware of some of the basic rules of grammar and punctuation. It also means that you know how to use spell check and maybe even how to do some research to verify facts. It that is the case then one way for you to make money is by writing.

Start off with a basic blog so you can build your skills and your portfolio then apply to a few writing sites like Helium.com and zerys.com. These places let you write for money, frequently they are small 'fluff' type articles, but they still provide cash and cash is good. I've been writing for a few years now and have advanced beyond those sites, but I still occasionally return to them when I need to supplement my income.

Once you get into it you can stick your name on the articles and you not only get paid for writing the articles, but you also get paid for traffic generated to the articles.

Check out a few of my earlier articles and I will admit that they aren't spectacular, but they are decent and had earned me some money;

Paid to Blog - Don't do these sites

Well it has been over a week and I am pretty sure that those websites on getting paid to blog are scams.

I got their automated responses on signing up, but no further emails after that and I have checked my spam folders. The only one that actually responded to me was blogdistributor.com which rejected me stating that my blog was not in English and I wasn't in a country that spoke English as a primary language.

Thank you for your interest in submitting your blog to Blog Distributor. Unfortunately, we can only accept blogs that are from bloggers that live in countries where English is the primary language. The reason that we do this is that we have found that there are subtleties in English, that are important to our clients, that are not noticeable to bloggers that are from countries where English is not the primary language. Therefore, we cannot accept any of your blogs. Thank you for your time. 

I guess this means that Spanish is now the official language of the USA?


I guess these will be the first three listed on my 'avoid them' page.

Paid to Blog?

I am not sure whether these sites work or not, but today I am signing up for a few different sites that claim to pay for blogging, I've done some research and I'm not seeing anything too bad about them, so I thought I would give them a shot and see what happens.

So far the ones I have signed up for are;
http://www.blogsvertise.com/
http://www.bloggingads.com
http://www.blogdistributor.com

I guess we will wait to see if they actually pay off.

Swagbucks.com - Definitely a Money Maker

 

I signed up on on March 10th, and told you about it on the 18th.  I then did a followup post on April 15th, well I got confirmation on Saturday and spent my new $10 Home Depot Gift Card on the Home Depot website. I am picking up my gardening stuff today.

I also had enough points to cash in for another $10 gift card yesterday. So at this rate, I would estimate $10 every two weeks, with little effort. It looks like an easy $500 a year extra just by following along with this nice little program. Not a bad deal at all.

This is added to my list of definite keeps. You can make money here, with very little effort.and I'm going to keep using them. You can either work off of their website or use a simple toolbar (Which I chose to do) The toolbar is easy to remove.

You earn earn by watching videos, websurfing and randomly finding codes or playing games. So far it's looking good, I will try to post an update in a month or so. In the meantime, click one of the links to sign up.

Make Money - Swagbucks.com

 

 I just signed up on on March 10th, but I already made $10. I cashed in 1000 points on 4/8/13 and my order is currently pending for a $10 home depot e-gift card. The only big problem with this site is that most of the cash outs are e-cards.

I plan to use mine for some gardening supplies, I know what I want, so I will just order it online when I get the card and pick it up at the local home depot, so no shipping. Ordering my stuff online from them also means that I don't need to hunt it up myself, they will do it.

I suppose that I could save up for one of the big dollar items, but I haven't really seen any big items I need, my husband would love the TV, but we don't need it. The gardening supplies, I need.

I promise to give an update as soon as I actually receive the information and spend the money, as they claim it takes up to 14 days to receive.

Make Money - Sendearnings.com update #2

Sendearnings.com is a legitimate site.

On March 4th I did an update post on  sendearnings.com, at that point the screenshot showed me with a balance of $25.67. Well today I broke the $30 barrier, I did make one purchase that gave me $5, and I had downloaded two programs that I never loaded.

I am now in their 'Gold' level of earning which means that I should be earning more money from them from here on out.  Here is my screenshot for today, apparently they want to charge you $3 for processing. I'm fine with that because I don't have the money yet anyhow.

However, when I went to cash out, I got this message. If I can make it to $50 in the next 30 days then they will waive the $3 fee...sounds like a pretty good deal, however I noticed the catch. You don't become a gold member UNTIL you cash out your first cheque. Which means that over the next 30 days I don't get the extra bonus moneys that you earn form being a gold member.

I figure that it has taken me over a year to make this much, there is no way I will make $9 more dollars in the next 30 days so I am going to cash out and request a cheque. When the cheque shows up I will do another update for all of you



I'm certain that if someone actually put effort into it then they would already have entered the gold level.

Make Money - Swagbucks

 

I can't say too much for them as I have just signed up on March 10th, but I have been hearing about them for a while and I finally signed up.

After one day here is my earnings;

71 Swagbucks so far

I can cash in as little as 5 Swagbucks for donations or digital wallpaper, 40 points can get you discounts at several retailers. If you really want to save your Swagbucks, then for 75,999 points you can get a 40" Samsung TV.

Everything I have seen in my research shows that this is legitimate and I'm going to keep using them. You can either work off of their website or use a simple toolbar (Which I chose to do) The toolbar is easy to remove.

You earn earn by watching videos, weburfing and randomly finding codes. So far it's looking good, I will try to post an update in a month or so. In the meantime, click one of the links to sign up.

Make Money - trymyui.com

Like I have previously said I will only post e-jobs on here that I know are legitimate. Trymyui is a website tester that I had signed up for a while ago, however I hadn't worked with them. I recently picked up a job from them and they reviewed it quickly and deposited money in my paypal account. They are legitimate and do have some work, however you need to pass a quick test and fit the end customers criteria before they even offer you a job.

I haven't made a lot with them, but money is money. They pay you $10 per successful test.

Sign up, you've got nothing to loose.

Make Money - Sendearnings.com update

Sendearnings.com is a legitimate site.

Back in January I did a post on  sendearnings.com, at that point the screenshot from December showed that I had made $21.14, now I am up to $25.67 and I still haven't done much more than click on emails. For something that takes only a few seconds a day that's pretty good pay, your not living off of it, but its money.  If I make 4 more dollars I get to move to their next level and at that point I start making more money.

I still consider myself lazy and this is probably one of the easiest ways out there to make some extra cash.

Screenshot of my earnings as of February 25, 2013

I'm certain that if someone actually put effort into it then they would already have more than that.

Featured Blog of the Month

This is a fairly new blog, so I know that this one doesn't have too many followers, but I hope to have some soon. The followers I have here, have come over from some of my other blogs and I thank you for that. I started this blog over here instead of on WordPress where my others are because WordPress didn't want me to have put up any affiliate links. I'm sorry WordPress, but Blogger lets me. I'm not put up anything major, just a few links for legitimate sites that I am making money at. If these sites pay me for referrals, then I will gladly take the money.

There are other people and websites out there that are trying to do the same thing as me, get the information out there so people can survive in this day and age. Once a month, on the 1st of each month I will post a featured blog, that I feel is doing a good job. The first one will be tomorrow.

Make Money - Be a Web Site Tester

User Testing

I have been using this site on a regular basis now and I pick up anywhere from $10 - $50 extra dollars per week. I could probably pick up more if I checked in more frequently, I usually look at this site only once or twice a day. They pay you 7 days after each test is complete.

You follow a set of instructions and their screen recorder notes everything you do. You need to talk a lot while you do this as they also want to record your reactions. I suggest a good headset with mic, but you can do the voice recording over the phone.


If you want to pick up jobs, you need to look at it frequently and grab them before someone else does.

They have also recently started doing testing for iOS and Andoid Applications, so if you have a smartphone or a tablet, they could use you.

Qualifications:
-        Must be at least 18 years old
-        Must own a PC or Mac (with OS X 10.5 or higher)
-        Must have a broadband Internet connection (cable, DSL or satellite)

-        Have a PayPal account
