Ehow.com

I've submitted my articles to a few of the social bookmarking sites, which helped increase traffic and profits from ehow.com. I have a total of 10 articles right now, which isn't all that many compared to a few folks in the ehow community who have 100- 200 articles! 6 of the articles are making money each day, while 4 of them just aren't. I plan to optimize the keywords for these 4 articles to increase the profitability.

I would definitely suggest ehow to anyone who is creative, would enjoy writing how to articles, and would also like to earn a few extra dollars. It is too early to give a final word on ehow, but for right now, I would definitely suggest giving it a shot yourself.

mylot.com

The official word on mylot.com:

Not worth it!


I guess if you are going to talk/ chat online anyway and you'd spend your time doing all that posting for free, then it's worth getting paid for it, but in reality, you are only making a few cents a day, so it is not worth the time to try and make serious money on this site.

If you have a few friends that would actually get online and participate in your conversations, it is plausible that you could earn a lot more money than I did on mylot.com, but unless you do, you might as well try another money making idea.

quickrewards.net

I signed up for an account today with quickrewards.net. I am going to try it out and see what happens.

They pay for surveys, games, and other offers like inboxdollars, cashcrate, and gangstergreed. They also pay you for printing out coupons on their site. That's kind of neat. I read the FAQ section and it sounds good, you can cash out whenever you'd like to. You can redeem your points/ $ for cash, points on other websites, or prizes.

I am going to fill out some offers and see how many points / dollars I can earn in the next few days. Here is a link to the site:

inboxdollars.com

Finally! I got an email today saying that I have been credited for microsoft live file sharing. This was one of the first things that I did when signing up on inboxdollars. I thought I would never get credited! I think it's been over a week maybe even 2 weeks!

gangstergreed.com

Logged in to gangstergreed.com today, too. I am now credited with $2.65!! Yay!!
I haven't been able to fill out too many offers on this site, because some of them are the same as inboxdollars.com and cashcrate, so I wouldn't get credit for them since those companies already have my information. I am still going to keep this account open and check back from time to time to find offers that I am eligible for.

cashcrate.com

I logged into my cashcrate.com account today, and I have $16.90 still credited to my account, and $24.00 pending. It's been saying that same amount since the 13th. Not sure how much longer it will take for the $24.00 to be credited. I read the FAQ's and it says that it could take a while to be credited, but .....

On the 15th, there was already $16.90, so that means that I should be sent a check for $16.90 on July 15th. I'm going to fill out some more offers in between now and then, and see if I get credited.

inboxdollars.com

Okay, I have $10.00 to go. I'm waiting on a few offers to be credited to my account, but I'm very close to being able to request payment, so we will soon find out if inboxdollars is for real.

Inboxdollars.com

I'm still working on the $30.00 payout amount, but to be fair, I got confused with gangstergreed or cashcrate, I thought they just sent out a check, so I wasn't trying to reach the payout amount until yesterday! (Oops!) I'm pretty close, though.
I'm looking into getting an account so that I can use a debit card that will not be connected to my bank or paypal accounts, like a gift card kind of. I heard about it on mylot, someone posted a message.

Oh- and speaking of mylot, someone responded and signed up under me, so I now have a ONE referral since my friends didn't do it!! I posted some stuff on there today, but I'm still not that excited about mylot since it takes too long and you don't get paid very much to post.

inboxdollars.com

On inboxdollars, you have to have $30.00 to request payment, so I'm working on it!!

gangstergreed.com

OK you only need to have $10.00 to cash out. I now have $2.65.

inboxdollars.com

Signed up on Inboxdollars.com, I've filled out a few surveys and some offers. It's taken a total of about an hour of my time and I've been credited so far with 15.90 in my account. I am going to request payment and see how that works out.

gangstergreed.com

Gangstergreed is like cashcrate.com , you get paid to complete offers and participate in surveys. The only difference is that they have an automatic payout option. You must have $30.00 to request payment, though. I signed up for an account yesterday, and have 1.65 in earnings today. We'll see how this works out.

cashcrate.com

So I started an account with cashcrate recently, and have completed some of the free offers on their site. So far my account says that I have made 16.90 and I have 24.00 pending confirmation.

On this site, they have you fill out surveys, register on all types of sites, and sign up for free trials of random products. The downside is that you are asked for your address, phone number, and email on some of the sites, and even for credit card ino sometimes. I only filled out the ones that didn't need a credit card.

Another way to make money on this site is by referring people, they give you a referral link, like this:

http://cashcrate.com/628553

and anyone you refer makes money for you as well. You get 20% of what your referrals make and 10% of their referrals. That sounds good. I guess the hard part is getting people to try it out.

The minimum payout is only 10.00, that's not so bad, I've made at least that, so however much money I've earned by the 15th of June, they will send a check out for that amount on the 15th of July. I will update then.

ehow.com

yay!! More money from ehow! I'm definitely going to add more articles! The one from last night has already made me some money!

Check it out:

Ehow.com

I've added one more article to my ehow profile, and am adding another tonight. Also, I found out about a few advertising techniques to get more views. I submitted my articles to stumbleupon, digg, diigo, and a few other bookmarking sites. We will see how this turns out.

Ehow

So I've added one more article to ehow, and found out a few techniques for advertising my articles to get more views. I submitted them to stumble upon, digg, twitter, and some other bookmarking sites. We'll see how that turns out. This evening I am adding another article, and I'm going to continue to add a few more.

Ehow

I wrote a few articles on Ehow and I've waited to see if they've earned any money so far. Today I logged in to find that 1 article has made 16 cents, while the others have not made any money. The good thing about Ehow, though, is that if you publish one article you can keep making money off of that same article again and again. I am definitely going to keep posting and promoting my articles on the site.
Many users on Ehow have over 100 articles, so if my 4 articles have only earned me 16 cents so far, I guess by my rate - that would be 3.60 they would have made in the last few days. I better get writing....

MYLOT

Alright. That's it. I've finally given up on mylot. Final conclusion:

*mylot is not a scam, it DOES pay if you post
*You can make money on mylot, it just takes too much time for not enough money.

MYLOT score: 4/10

Mylot day 5

So this morning, I logged in to my mylot account. I made another few cents, but still did not reach one dollar. Seems to me this is a little bit too much trouble for what I've earned so far, but I do see the opportunity involved. If in fact the people that I referred to mylot would remain active (as in keep on posting things online) I would definitely make more money. I would need to have a whole lot of referrals, but it can be done.

I'm going to keep trying it for a few more days before I reach a definite conclusion.

Day 4 Mylot.com

Checked my earnings on mylot this morning and it was still less than 1$. Didn't give up yet. The number at least got higher. None of my referrals are active so far, so I will have to see if that is the key to making money on mylot.

Ehow.com

One way to earn some extra money online is to write articles on ehow. They have a somewhat new writer compensation program. Here's how it works:

1. Sign up for an ehow account
2. Write How To articles about what you know
3. Sign up for the compensation program (requires a paypal account for payments)
4. Ads are placed on your articles based on keywords
5. You are paid based on the number of times people click on these ads

I signed up on ehow about a week ago. I've written 4 articles total, and only one of them is actually making me money. I read a few of the articles that other ehow members wrote explaining how to make money on ehow, and found that it is pretty much a numbers game.

The more articles that you have and the more people that view them, the more likely someone will click on the ads on your article. So......you will definitely want to promote your article in any way you can like submitting it to digg, stumble upon, etc. I'm going to add more articles and update on Ehow later.


For examples, Here are links to some of my articles:

Mylot - Day 3

So yesterday I let some of my friends know about mylot, because they have a referral program which is supposed to make you money. I also put ads in some free advertising sites with my referral link. We'll see how this pans out, later. I logged in this morning and found that I actually did make more money by starting conversations than from commenting on them.

Total so far is not even $1.00, but I've only spent about half an hour actually trying to interact and post on the site.

Two friends of mine have begun to post things as well, so tomorrow I will update with thoughts on referrals, total earned and so forth.

Mylot.com

So I've stumbled upon this site called mylot - apparently, you get paid to post content on the site. There are a whole lot of users as far as I can tell, and the topics range from "what kind of juice do you prefer? Orange Juice or Pineapple?" To "what makes you happy?" - So there are a lot of options as far as content goes.

I set up my account yesterday, which took pretty long since it asks you to choose your interests in just about every imagineable category. Once I was finished with all that, I started posting replies to random conversations others had started. I even uploaded a photo of one of the things that makes me happy.




This morning I checked to see if my activity had earned me any money. I made 4 cents.
I guess at this point it is too early to tell if it is profitable or not. I'm going to post more responses and maybe start a few conversations and we'll see how that turns out later.

Here is a link if you'd like to see what I'm talking about:

Seriously

I've recently been researching ways to ACTUALLY make money online. I've found countless ways, it's just that most of them seem like scams or like they may just be too good to be true.
I've found 2 or 3 different blogs and sites that seem to be "real" and "honest" but when it comes down to it, that's hasn't been the case. We'll just see about all these "opportunities."
