Rags To Riches: Online

Sorry All

Hey everyone!

I have not been around in ages, and obviously haven't posted in about a month!

Firstly, I had a problem with my lung, which incurred a week long stay in hospital!

Then as soon as I had recovered from that it was straight into A-level exams!

Now that I have finished all of this however, I'm back into making some money!

I'm going to try a few new things over the next month, cash gifting, affiliate marketing and probably some HYIP's as well, although they are usually considered scams ... I still think there is some money to be made there!

So here we are ... Got to day 5

I've probably made about £8 so far, and spent maybe two hours doing surveys?

All multiple choice mind you ... nothing too difficult.

But i keep getting caught by these minimum withdrawal conditions, as i have to generate a certain amount of points / money before i can actually get my hands on the cash.

I've signed up to a lot of sites, you will find a list with links to all of them at the top of the right hand column of my blog, and it will stay updated as and when i sign up to new sites.

Referrals also seem to play a fairly big part in getting at the bigger amounts of money, but i don't really like to email people asking them to join survey sites, as i would guess most people are pretty skeptical about these sites and take the "nothings ever free" stance.

Hopefully if i keep answering all the surveys i get emailed i will be able to actually redeem some of my rewards into cash!

Hey again

Found yet another new site today

http://www.songpeople.com

This one provides a kind of niche survey for the music lover (i.e. me)

I liked it, although you can tell its still in its early stages, the website doesn't look finished, but its functional.

I was sent an email, after being signed up for about a day, which gave me a link to a song to listen to, and then i simply had to rate the song to get my account credited with points. Was as simple as that. I like the idea of it, but to be honest it looks like its going to be quite difficult to raise money from it ...

Hi everyone

Signed up to yet another site today, but got a very quick (within 4 hours) response from this particular site:

http://www.pureprofile.com/

They sent me an email notifying me that i had been offered a survey that offered "between £0.20 and £1.00". On completion of the survey, £1.00 of credit was added to my pureprofile account. This is a good rate per survey, and definitely the fastest response in terms of actual surveys being sent to me compared to other sites.

I recommend you add it to your list if you are trying to generate an income!

Could help you a fair bit!

Hey all

I've just signed up to a new site, http://www.swatcash.com/

This site provides another slightly different survey style experience to those i have seen up until now. Firstly, this site treats the whole process as somewhat of a game. You slowly generate Swat Points and bullets to complete offers. You can perform the $1 missions each and everyday, meaning that from this site alone you could automatically earn around $30 (£16) a month, which despite being a small amount of money, is still an income, which is the purpose of this internet experiment.

The most interesting thing about this new site is that there are a large number of surveys that payout higher amounts than those i've seen before. For example, there are many surveys on this site that pay $3.00 (£1.60). This is much higher than the $1 price i have seen on most survey sites so far.

Looks like this one is a good start to generating my internet revenue!

I've been working on trying to generate my online income for a few days now

Have not got any cash to show for my efforts yet, but i have generated some "virtual" cash online answering a few surveys. Most of the sites i subscribed to simply said that they would email me questionnaires if and when they need me. This is simple enough, as i don't have to hassle them to try and get surveys, they just send me them to my email.

However, one site http://www.toluna.com was slightly different to this. On this website the user can collect points by answering polls posted by other users. Only the sponsored polls will actually give you points, so don't be fooled by the massive list of un-sponsored polls.

But the more i read up on the topic, the more i think that a second income may actually be possible from these sites!

If anyone is visiting the site and trying the same thing, let me know your progress, maybe we can help each other somehow?

Hi all!

Today i started my mission to try and earn some form of income from internet survey sites.

I have looked in various forums and sites relating to the subject, and registered for the following survey sites

http://www.mytns.com/
http://www.toluna.com/
http://www.valuedopinions.co.uk/
http://www.getpaidtodude.com/
http://www.juicybrainspanel.com/
http://www.yougov.com/uk/panel/

So far I've apparently earned about £3

However, I will have to earn a minimum amount to release that money anyway!

So I've made a start ... But nothing to show for it yet!

I'll keep trying!
