Payday 1-15-10

Here are this weeks earnings, but first: in checking the stats on all the sites on which I'm making money, I went to Bidvertiser, which I hadn't been to in a long time. I remember why: problems logging on. So I decided to drop their ads from this blog, with this message I sent to support: "I'm dropping all your ads from my site, and blogging about the experience. It seems I have the hardest time getting on your site to check my stats. The logon never lets me thru, and I think part of the problem is the drop-down menu with 'Advertiser' 'Publisher' and 'Referral' selections. Whatever is wrong with the process is not my problem, there are too many other sites out there to choose from to use one that is troublesome. Goodbye."
I'm not fooling around here. This stuff is time consuming enough, if I get on a site and it isn't functional and easy to use, I leave it. Forget the promises of easy money, they all promise that. Go with the well designed, easy to use, functional sites.

for an incredible $31.35... which is my YTD, so I didn't even double last weeks earnings. But, let's keep it in perspective: I'm working on community computers with some limitations, and since they're shared, I can't save sites on them, so I have to logon everytime I do anything, which is very time consuming.
Plus, I'm on some new sites which are geared towards trafficing and affiliate marketing, auto-responders, etc. I'm gaining a new set of skills, and there's a learning curve, and not a lot of time to pursue the sites above right now. Will update with better figures next week.

Payday 1-8-10

Here are my weekly earnings, and this is the first of a weekly feature, showing what I made, starting with the most lucrative to the least lucrative money-making sites I'm on.

• hits4pay          $10.48
  
• dealsncash       $5.4
  
• Peoplestring:   $1.95
  
• cashcrate         $1.00
• clixsense          $0.54
  
• linkgrand         $0.078
  
• myfreeshares  $0.0001
  
• bux                 can't logon
  
• wordlinx          has funky password, annoying to change    
• For a total of  $19.4481

Now, this may seem like a paltry sum. It is. But, take into consideration- I'm working on community computers with severe limitations, like no Activex, video (no tutorials), software downloading, etc. Also, I have time constraints since these are shared computers. I'm just starting out, so these numbers should steadily increase as I learn. And, I spent a lot of time doing this, which was a setback. And, lastly, this blog is for the evaluation of the money-making sites, not to actually rake in. If that happens, it's just a perk.
I was reluctant to leave up bux and wordlinx, but I thought I'd note my experience with these- I'm having problems dealing with the username/password thing on these sites. I tried using the same username/password combination on all of them, for the obvious reason. I chose a password that has one special character, because it's more secure, but some sites don't allow it. On top of that, some sites don't let you choose your username, but use a number or your email. It makes it hard and confusing to keep track of, and, for example, with the password retrieval from bux, there is this: 'You only have 1 hour to change your password since you requested recovery for security reasons.' That's not always practical, and since there are so many sites to use out there, I just drop the ones that give me a hard time.
