Review of my earnings so far

"How are you doing so far?" you may ask!

I have around 25 money making ideas so far; another 55 to find!

For the month of February:

I easily achieved my target with the cashback sites. I have eleven on my list, and made over £100 combined on them, meaning that on average I earnt 30p + every day on each one.

I've just started Mylot and have 50c in my account! On Bux.to I earnt a few pence from testing it out, but I have just started this and need to get some referrals.

The Moon real estate idea predictably earnt nothing. I need to be a bit more pro-active on this one!

I earnt 30p in the month of February on Friend Finder - not every day but for the whole month, unfortunately! Perhaps getting my referral link on a website that people look at would help....

Dooyoo was a good earner, especially with the new payment scheme. I earnt £40 + for the month for this. I'll do a post on this in the next few days.

No one joined Winzy using my referral link and won me an Ipod unfortunately.

I earnt about $13 on Google adsense. Not much, but near my unambitious target of 30p a day.

I earnt around £10 from Voxant. Not much, but again a step in the right direction and around 30p a day.

I received a cheque from Global Test Market. The survey sites are quite good. Onepoll offers at least an £7-8 a month. Yougov sends lots of surveys. It's Your View sent £12 of surveys in one day!

I have no idea how to use Squidoo. I have about $1 in my account. Maybe I should make some more lenses and put the link everywhere!

I managed to earn around £60 from Ebay in February, so that is one scheme that is above the £9 a month target.

If I take my month's earnings and divide them by 25, then I have earnt around £9 for each one, which is on target! I now need to find more ways of earning £9 a month!

Bux.to

I've decided to do a "paid to click" site, where you get a small amount of money for having a page open for 30 seconds.

I normally hate these types of sites, such as Archerfish, as you have to put a lots of time in just to earn around $0.005 dollars for each click! But I saw bux.to on the Cashinco referrals section; for some reason that suggested that this is more worthwhile than the usual Paid to click site, so I thought I'd give it a go!

With Bux.to, you get 1cent per page viewed, which I think is more generous. Not very, but more generous!


Here is their Earnings Example
» You click 10 ads per day = $0.10
» 20 referrals click 10 ads per day = $2.00
» Your daily earnings = $2.10
» Your weekly earnings = $14.70
» Your monthly earnings = $63.00

The payout is $10.

The trick is to get some referrals!

I'll give this a go - I will have to get some referrals to make my 30p per day - and will add it to my list!

Cashback sites

There are a number of cashback sites in the UK (and abroad I believe) where it is easy to earn at least 30p a day.

These cashback sites pay you a percentage back of any purchases you make through their site. For example, if you bought a computer from Misco, you would get around 3% of the cost of the computer paid into your account. If you bought some form of insurance - such as car or household - you would get £20 plus paid into your account.

These sites also offer one-off money for signing up to newsletters and registering on websites. For example, ordering a brochure from a company selling windows could earn you £1.50. You can do recurring clicks which entails searching for a product on a site such as Kelkoo and clicking through to a retailer to earn a reward such as 5p.

Without spending anything and doing the recurring clicks, you can earn 20-30p + a day on each cashback site. You can also get a bonus from any one-off offers. And if you you want to purchase anything online via a cashback website, you can earn some extra money.

You receive a sign up bonus on many of the sites - they range from £1.50 to £10. You can cash out your money when you have earnt a certain amount: payout levels range from 1p (!) to £30.

These cashback sites are not as lucrative as few years ago when you could earn around £3 a day in recurring clicks on many of them. I think they have become more well known with reports in the media advising you to buy insurance etc. through these cashback sites; and more and more people wanting to earn some money at home have joined these sites meaning that the affilites can pay less money for clicks in their campaigns.

But they are still worth doing, and provide at least ten of my 30p a day opportunities.

Here are the ones I currently use. Others are available, but some have hardly any recurring clicks.

Welcome

Welcome to my new blog!



Like many people, I would like to make some (easy!) money off the internet. Some people would like to make a fortune; others simply want to make a few hundred pounds (or dollars) a month as a small bonus.

To be honest, I fall into the latter category. If I manage to find a way of making £50,000 a month off the internet then I will pleased. But like many people, £500 a month would be a nice bonus.

Like others who have scoured the internet looking for ways to make some extra money I have found the familar ways of making money: Ebay, Adsense, Cashback sites, and all the other affiliate schemes. Like many others, I have received money - but not a lot. Many of these schemes earn between £1 and £50 per month.

What I want to do is find eighty ways of making the rather miniscule amount of 30p every day. If I could do this, then I could make £720 a month (30 days), which means that each scheme would have to make £9 a month. That should be achievable, shouldn't it?

What I plan to do is find eighty ways of making money, list them, and see how much each one makes a month. Some may make more than £9 a month. Some may make less. Can I make £720 a month? I will include some easy ways I find making money in real life too, although the fun part is finding ways to make a little extra money from the comfort of my own home.

Hopefully I will make lots of cash and retire to the Swiss Alps? Or hopefully just be able to make an extra £700 a month!

I hope you will read my blog and find out.....
