Inboxdollars.com

Oh, and by the way - while investigating the amway thing, I came across "ripoffreport.com". I've previously used this site thousands of times to investigate random "opportunities" and have been successful in finding the information I was searching for. I had forgotten to run a search for inboxdollars.com or cashcrate.com. Huh?! Wonder what I was thinking.
So both sites came up with random complaints. I have already recieved a check from cashcrate.com, so I am not worried about that - but I found an entry about inboxdollars.com that said the woman never got paid, etc. etc. ... Long drawn out process....
We will see what happens. (*my payment is due to be processed on August 1st)

Ehow.com

Wow! Optimizing keywords helped out! I only have 2 articles that aren't making any money now, and the others have made more money since I've done this. One of the two that are not making money is about how to change your avatar and make sure other people can see it on Ehow, so I guess it wouldn't make too much money anyway, but I wrote this article because an Ehow friend who was brand new on the site sent a message to me asking how to fix this problem. I had had the same problem just one day before that, so I figured, " hey, why don't I make it an article!" I'm not counting this one, so really only 1 out of 9 articles hasn't made any money yet.

The best thing about Ehow, to me, is that even without posting every day I can still make money from the articles I've published before. That is nice! I am definitely going to keep at it!

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 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.

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:
