eBid

I have set-up an auction at eBid for a Garmin Oregon 650t GPS. It's not the GPS used in cars; it's for outdoor activities and mapping geographical areas. It's quite nifty to have and works pretty good if you want to know your surroundings. It is up for auction at a reserve price and I ship to the US only. Here is the link to the GPS.

EpicRewardz

This GPT site is very interesting since their daily surveys are paid higher than most other GPT sites. In return, the referral rate is only 5% for 1st level referrals and 2% for 2nd level referrals. It's a great site anyway and there is no minimum to cash out. Payment method is PayPal, but soon the site will undergo a complete makeover later this year to have other payment processors like Payza and Liberty Reserve.

EpicRewardz: another GPT site

This site is just like any other GPT site, but the rewards seem to cater to video gamers. EpicRewardz does however have no minimum payout and payments are made daily which is quite nice. Payment is usually PayPal only, but you can custom order anything off Amazon if you have the points to buy an item from there. The rates for daily surveys are quite high, but referral bonuses are at 5%. Still it is a good site to join and make some cash. I'll be back later to post some links to daily surveys you can do on the blog here.

Pollbuzzer

Pollbuzzer is an interesting survey site that gives out surveys by email. They're incredibly rare though, but they do pay instantly to a verified PayPal account. The surveys are $1 each, but they pay within 24 hours so I think it is a worthy choice to use. Main reason is that the surveys are only 1 question each, which makes it really short and simple.

MassProfitShares slow

The site is getting slower lately in paying people, so I guess that means people aren't investing into the site anymore. I shouldn't even waste money on it in the first place when there are better passive income sites out there like ProfitClicking and PassiveRevShare. Just goes to show you to spend as little money as possible once a site opens up to see if it is indeed worth investing.

InstantCashSweepstakes

InstantCashSweepstakes is a survey site that pays you to take their surveys, which are short and fast. Of course, you get paid in tickets and coins for chances to win $50 each day or $2 every 4 hours. Sometimes you do get paid from 1 cent up to 10 cents occasionally. Minimum cashout is $2 and it only pays by PayPal.

MassProfitShares

MassProfitShares is an interesting site which is somewhat similar to Instasurfs, but it only has opened recently. You make money by investing a small amount into advertising packages for as low as $2 to as high as $60. You get money in the form of dividends and people continuously invest in the site. They expire after 2 days, then you can auto-enroll again with the dividends that you made. I'm not familiar with it, but I assume it is similar to ProfitClicking and PassiveRevShare. Not sure how long they'll last since they'll probably turned to scams, but it's better to invest early instead of later so you'll get some extra money. A decent way to promote your websites and gain traffic. Also you'll be making money before the site turns sour.

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.

Promoting websites

How do people promote their websites and get referrals? One method is to use autosurf or traffic exchange sites to get visits to their sites. A rather easy way to get views, but what about buying products from sites? That is a different matter since people either ignore the pages or just click to see what it is. Referrals are also the same way and people want proof of something from those sites. Either you go there or you don't, it's that simple. People have ways of making money online through autosurf and traffic exchange (TE) sites. You just have to take your time to promote your websites and possibly money as well.

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.

Still looking for work

I'm currently still looking for work 9 months after graduation. Everywhere in Georgia employers keep asking for those with relevant job experience. Nothing even remotely entry-level. Not even low-paying jobs are being offered. Might as well make money online even though generally they don't pay as much.

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.

Winner of October's survey contest

I won October's contest at Paid Surveys Live!. The money made is worth it, but still not enough to make off for a living yet. A bunch of people from China were trying to overthrow my place, but I beat them by a huge margin. If you want to make money online and support extra cash for yourself, go to Paid Surveys Live! and you get extra money you can spend on for the holidays. I know I will anyway.

Paid Surveys Live! contest for October

Sorry I'm a bit late but this time PSL! is having a contest this month for who can do the most offers until the end of the month. The money is great for those international members who can get surveys, but the USA still has the most options when it comes to surveys. China and Italy are not far behind in the rankings, but it is fierce out there. Beats being jobless with no compensation whatsoever. Average earnings in a month on PSL! is usually around $120-$360 per month depending on how aggressive you are at doing surveys. Winner of this month's contest will get $75 added to his/her account! It makes other GPT sites pale in comparison due to the sheer amount of surveys offered there.

Everybody has a chance at it, but only one person will get the top prize.

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.

NatureBucks- new GPT site

It's been a long time since I last blogged here, but spring semester at college is over. In the meantime, I have joined up a brand new GPT site known as NatureBucks. It is completely different from some GPT sites because the minimum payout is $5 and you can withdraw anytime by PayPal or various gift cards like Amazon and eBay. Payout is comparatively low, especially on surveys but they approve rather quickly in minutes.

NatureBucks seems to be a brand new GPT site that has plenty of potential. There is also a 40% referral commission at the 1st downline, but none at the 2nd downline. It will grow in time, but advertisers seem to be doing reversals lately for fake addresses, fraud, and spoofing. This applies to all GPT sites. I suggest giving NatureBucks a try. People want to cash out quickly instead of waiting 30 to 45 days for payment.

TreasureTrooper monthly contests

It seems that TreasureTrooper is going to do monthly contests from now on to attract old and new people to GPT. The last month of the year is a daily survey contest and the prizes are cool hard cash. I seem to be doing very well in the top and no one else seems to be where I'm at. Even if I'm unemployed, at least there are some ways of making money online. It may not be much, but it is much better than earning nothing at all.

Click on my egg to help it hatch

I put up a banner on the right side showing a dragon egg. Clicking on it will redirect you to Treasure Trooper, which is a GPT site to help you make money online. This site helped me get a little extra money every month for me to spend on penny auctions. It is better than spending your own money and lose everything from penny auctions. Treasure Trooper is a great site and I've been using them for 2 years. I want to make it into their VIP Club which requires $500 in lifetime earnings. You actually do get paid to answer surveys, make credit card purchases, and other offers that are completely free. The dragon egg is another mini-game where you can possibly earn extra money.
