EpicRewardz monthly contest

There are a few contests spread throughout EpicRewardz. The 1st is a monthly daily survey contest for US people and I'm currently in 1st place. The 2nd is a monthly daily survey contest for UK people. The last contest is an offer wall contest open to any nation. All these contests require people to do the most in 1 month. I'm trying but work is making it hard to do more. If you want to sign up under me and enter go ahead. It still isn't too late to join up EpicRewardz because I joined pretty late and reach 3rd place overall. Not bad for me and you can prove yourself to do more offers or surveys in the middle of the month.

Lead Castle

Lead Castle is a CPA network. CPA means "cost per action." It's what GPT sites use to bring offers to their websites. Interestingly enough, you can do your own offers on CPA. Granted most of them seem to be incredibly difficult to get in since they do ask if you own a business and a website. After that, you can post offers on your site to see if they get approved or not from yourself and other people. The biggest problem is that CPA sites pay on a net 15 or net 30 scale, which means you get paid every 15 or 30 days. If your traffic is good and people are doing offers, then you get upgraded to net 7 and be paid weekly. In reality offers get approved if you do them correctly and you get paid much later. Lead Castle pays by PayPal which is what most GPT sites pay by. GPT sites pay by other methods like Payza and Liberty Reserve.

Out of work, but another job assignment

Out of work for now, but I did get another job assignment for doing email marketing at home. Not too shabby and could help me earn some extra cash since I don't make as much on surveys anymore.

Back to work

Looks like I'm going back to work tomorrow. The assignment is suppose to be until next week, but it could either be finished early or be delayed even further. Once the job is over, I'll be buying an email marketing kit and will be working at home so I'll be using my PC more often. This is just a small stepping stone for me since I still can't find a job here in Georgia. They want candidates with experience so I'm out.

Work is exhausting

Going back to work is exhausting for me since I have been out of work for 7 weeks. My job is to make sure materials are in place, setting up sample kits, load them on pallets and the shipping trailer, and cleaning up our division's trash. It is really strange that the cardboard baler gets full every other day and I have to clean it up. It gets worse when the bale of cardboard gets stuck and I have to get help with another person just to load it on the pallet. It makes me sweaty and tired since other people are busy with work or chatting away.

I just need the money to buy an e-mail marketing software package.

Instasurf website

Instasurf is an interesting site that is suppose to be an autosurf and HYIP (high yield investment program). All you do is invest at least $12 into the site by PayPal, Payza, Egopay, Liberty Reserve, or SolidTrustPay account. You surf 8 sites a day then you get back 12% for each day for 12 days for a total of 144% return. After that it expires or you must reinvest again for another 12 days to surf 8 sites a day. I purchase $12 and it does seem to be legit so far, but the site seems to rely heavily on advertisements from other sites to promote them. You can even promote your own site by buying credits for them. I would be careful about investing there since the site doesn't seem to have a support tab of any kind. Also, make sure if you're paying by PayPal to make sure your Payza account is the same as PP since they seem to transfer money to the same email address. It does have potential but it is kind of risky since the site seems to rely heavily on advertising other sites. They also make money from referrals buying into the site. Overall, not sure whether it is good or bad but at least Instasurf pays decently. Only time will tell though. I do have a banner on the upper right area of my blog if you're interested in joining. Make sure you have a way to recover funds just in case the site runs into problems.

Making money online through research

Making money online isn't as easy as people make it out to be. For one thing, there are just as many scams as opportunities so proper research is necessary to find ones that actually pay you. It's not easy to find them, but once you do it's still up to you whether to take chances on them. Of course, some methods of making money are either legal or illegal, which is divided into white-hat versus black-hat methods. All these acronyms thrown around so people have to figure out which methods are best. I will continue that later in a future post.

Life at home

Life at home isn't so bad but the problem is finding a steady source of income. Fortunately there are plenty of opportunities out there for making money income. I just have to be careful about which are legitimate and which are scams. I'll update on them soon if I can find the right ones.

RewardingWays GPT

I'm going to tell you about another GPT site since it's been a while. It is RewardingWays. This site is very much like other GPT sites, but they seem have weekly referral contests and monthly offer contests which is nice. PaidSurveysLive! and SurveyMad used to offer contests, but they cancel them earlier this year. If you want to win a contest, you have to do what the site wants. Referral generation and doing the most offers are the typical themes of most GPT sites. Unfortunately for me, I seem to have lost my edge in doing offers and surveys since they're much harder to approve now. On the bright side, RewardingWays pays by PayPal, Payza, and Liberty Reserve. I like a GPT site that has various payment options. Minimum cashout is $1, but if you buy a membership upgrade you can get instant PayPal cashout. The membership upgrade also helps you make slightly more money from offers so it helps. Upgrades last one year and have to be renewed by paying for membership.

Paid Surveys Live is a great GPT site

Paid Surveys Live is quickly becoming my favorite GPT site for a few reasons. One is that this site specializes in surveys. Yes most of them are surveys with offers as well. Two is the daily contest everyday where you could possibly win $0.50, $1, $2, or $3 depending upon how much you earned in one day. Finally is the daily jackpot where an offer or survey approved gets you one entry in the daily jackpot. Multiple approvals give you more entries in the daily jackpot and increases the money in the jackpot.

You could see that I've made so much in such a short amount of time. Of course, there are better ways to make money online, but I don't want to spend money just to get a measly return on investment or possibly lose it all. With the way things are around the world, people are turning online to look for ways to make money. It is hard enough for people to find a job, but this is just something to tide me over in the meantime.

Paid Surveys Live! - GPT site specializing in surveys

I have stumbled across this site after being put on probation at TreasureTrooper for violating their surveys, which is a joke. So I stumbled across Paid Surveys Live!, which is a GPT site similar to NatureBucks. Of course, this site seems to specialize in surveys and there are plenty of them on the site. Of course, there are also surveys for international members but mostly for those from China, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Don't get me wrong, there are still plenty of surveys for USA and Canada members.

Like NatureBucks, Paid Surveys Live! has low minimum cash payout at just 1 cent. Never thought that would be possible, but it is true. Payments are processed daily. I like the games they offer when you can use your points to get more points and possibly convert them to cash. 1 point equals 1 cent while 100 points equals 1 dollar. Of course, there is also spin the wheel where you can use your tokens to get the chance of winning either cash, a free spin, or rarely an account upgrade. Their chatroom isn't as active since people just come to ask support questions and busy doing surveys.

This site has become my instant favorite due to the wealth of surveys there, but qualifying for them is another matter. They do pay pretty well, but surveys do run out very fast since other GPT sites use the same affiliate networks to get them. If you love doing surveys, then Paid Surveys Live! is perfect for you. Offers are decent like any other GPT site.

Penny auction sites - a way of making money

There are so many PA (penny auction) sites now that it is not even funny. Some of these people make a living buying items from PA sites and then selling their winnings on Craigslist and eBay. You can usually tell because all these items are brand new and untouched if selling on eBay. From DSLR cameras, Macbooks, iPads, laptops, gift cards, and just about anything could be found on PA sites. Reselling them on eBay also brings a large influx of income just so they can buy more bids on PA sites easily.

Some PA sites are giving away free bids just by referring new people to their sites. One example is ALicense2Bid where they are giving away 5 free bids just by referring people and buying any bid package. The auction items listed are really good but $1 a bid seems very expensive. Another site is Bidrodeo. This site is more friendly and gives away 5 free bids if you sign up from a referral. Another 5 free bids will be given if you buy any bid package, so you get 10 free bids.

BidonCash only gives you 1 free bid which isn't much, but you can refer people and get 10 free bids if the referral buys a bid package. This PA auction is only for bid packages and cash. Yes you heard me, cash. Too bad they don't use Paypal, but for cashout you can do a bank wire or Eco Card (sort of like Paypal but you can get the cash by bank wire or a virtual Mastercard like a real Mastercard for online purchases).

Most of these people have to have a steady flow of income, so they must have money in order to win these PA sites. Strategy is a necessity on PA sites since you have to know your opponents and know if you can win the auction. Otherwise, you may waste plenty of money on bids and never win anything at all.

WarReWARds: An upcoming GPT site

WarReWARds is an interesting site since it follows in the same vein as other GPT sites like Treasure Trooper and Inbox Dollars, but this site came out yesterday. If anyone is asking, yes it does share some similarities to defunct GPT site SWATcash but it is a completely different site. It takes on the military theme and has plenty of ways to make money. The most obvious is the Offers section, which you do daily surveys and numerous offers to choose from. Minimum payout is $15 which is better than some others. Referral bonuses start at 15% and can go as high as 20%. No second level referral bonuses.

The most interesting aspect of WarReWARds is the Combat Map. You have to choose which military branch you're going to be in and appear on a 9x9 map. You're provided with a pistol, 10 bullets, light armor, and shoes. This is where it gets interesting. You have to move around the map and seek out enemies in order to earn WR, which is currency used to upgrade your equipment. This currency is also used to buy referrals or increase your commission rate from referrals (+1%). If you lose against an enemy, your health decreases slowly until you lose it all and can't move the map for 24 hours. Bullets can be earned through Offers and contests sponsors. You have to be active if you want to earn WR, get referrals, and bullets.

Overall, WarReWARds has the potential to become a great GPT site. If it can outlast other GPT sites, then WarReWARds will be a great way to earn some money and have fun in the mean time.

Treasure Trooper referral program

When you become a VIP you will be able to get 10 referrals a month for free. This is where the money starts flowing pretty nicely. If you become an active VIP member on treasure trooper for a while you could earn as much as $500 a month and the best part is once you get enough referrals you don't have to do anything. So my advice to you is to do all the hot offers and as many popular offers as you can. Do all the daily surveys and work your way up to becoming a VIP member when you earn $500. Work hard during the first couple of months then sit back and watch the money flow in from your referrals.

It's getting really hard to make money in a recession. Referrals are the only way to get decent money from [url="http://www.treasuretrooper.com/364640"]Treasure Trooper[/url]. You have to be very active in order to get gains from the site. $500 is incredibly hard to attain, but the rewards are great. If you want to join the site, contact me and I'll send you the link. You also get 20% for every one you referred and 5% for each one they referred.

Treasure Trooper having a referral contest

Treasure Trooper is having a referral contest for those who signed up for them.

So that everybody can participate, and have a shot at winning, February's referral contest will have 20 winners! We have also structured the prize money in such a way that you are rewarded for the amount of referrals you actually gained, in addition to where you place in the rankings. In order to discourage fake signups, your referrals must complete at least 1 offer or daily survey, or earn $5 in clicks, to be considered a valid referral. Folks, there is over $6000 up for grabs here and we've made it real easy to make some good money with this contest! If you've participated in our referral contests before, you've no doubt noticed that it is VERY easy to be a winner even if you only get 4 or 5 referrals! You can do this!

[b]PRIZE CHART[/b] (All of these cap at 500 referrals max)
1st place - $1 per referral PLUS 100 gold coins!
2nd place - 95 cents per referral PLUS 50 gold coins
3rd place - 90 cents per referral PLUS 25 gold coins
4th place - 85 cents per referral
5th place - 80 cents per referral
6th place - 75 cents per referral
7th place - 70 cents per referral
8th place - 65 cents per referral
9th place - 60 cents per referral
10th place - 55 cents per referral
11th-20th place - 50 cents per referral

For a leg up in the competition, join the Referral Machines over in the referral discussion forum where I will be posting new assignments every other day, throughout the month of February, especially designed to help you achieve multiple referrals!

There is money involved and in this recession money talks. This is probably the largest payout yet for Treasure Trooper and I'll invite you in on the fun. It's a good way to earn money and it is not a scam. Most of them are surveys, offers, and clicks.

Got paid again from Treasure Trooper

I've got paid at Treasure Trooper again this month. $45 from January. I get paid once a month (around the 15th) and the deals are getting harder to get by. Even jobless, I can still find ways to make money online. Treasure Trooper is still pretty consistent in paying out their members, but the approval rate for the offers seem to have dwindle slightly.

I might as well be making money online since finding a job is next to impossible here in Georgia and most require experience in a certain area. I'm going to try out other GPT (get-paid-to) sites that are not scams. A little extra money doesn't hurt you unless you're in some scam or scheme. That did happen to me 3 times in the past, but now I know what sites people generally use to get paid.

Still no jobs even at the end of the month

Even after last time I wrote on this blog hoping to find a job went down the drain. This time I went to a few stores and filled out applications for possible job positions that are suited for me. The only experience I ever had is six years of warehouse/light industrial work. Unfortunately, managers think of this as no experience at all except for those working in the same field. How in the world do I pick up office experience if I never had any except academic work (does not count as experience)? I might as well be selling stuff on eBay, but I need a dSLR camera with macro lenses so I can sell some old jewelry and computer components.

Treasure Trooper makes payment to me

TreasureTrooper has made a payment to my PayPal account for doing all those surveys and clicks I did for them. Ever since SWATcash went down, I turned to TreasureTrooper for my needs. Sure it doesn't pay as well, but at least I get some money coming in. There are plenty of offers available on the site. I did mostly surveys since they don't cost me any money. It's really hard to make money when you have no job and no connections. Here's my proof of payment:

TreasureTrooper is a great starting place for those who need a little cash in PayPal or delivered by mail in check form.

Earning money from eBay

I've earned some money on eBay by selling iTunes gift cards that were left over from my last job. It sure is hard though to make money and avoid all those scams promising large sums of money. I was a victim of these quick rich schemes and avoid them since then. There is no way you can make money that fast unless you have a successful business venture. Selling my stuff seems to bring in some income, but not much. With the way the economy is running, many of us sell off our stuff just to pay for the bills. I need to replace my old router since I'm getting interference from 3 other networks around my house. Too bad I'm out of work for the time being.

No job equals no spending

I haven't worked much this month due to job hunting and still coming up empty. Christmas wasn't any good and New Year might be even worse. I'm getting desperate for money now, so I might end up enlisting in the military. I don't care what anyone else says, I need money really bad and what they offer seems to better than what I earned this month. Benefits and paid college tuition are great bonuses as well. It's time that I start out on my own even if it costs me my own life. All I ever live up to now is abuse and torment, not spreading out happiness and hope to others.
