CloudCrowd Progress

So, I must report that as of yet I haven't done any work for CloudCrowd.  They sent out a message, however, informing people that basically, they have a huge following right now and are working on improving the process in order to make it easier for us (the workers) and more appealing to the people who are requesting the work.  They're also working to make sure that we don't get rejected when we weren't supposed to.  You can read the letter here.  I will alert y'all as soon as I actually do get some work from the application!  I'm really looking forward to it.  This service did just start up, and there's no minimum payout, so I imagine it will be well worth it.

The Testing Process: CloudCrowd

So I heard about this new application on Facebook, called "CloudCrowd".  They have a range of tasks you can get paid for, like online research, reviewing websites, grading written texts, and editing poorly written writing.  The last part is what I heard the most about- the daily rate apparently changes, but for today, you can make $1.42 per 4-5 paragraphs you edit.  In comparison to some sites, that's pretty damn good.  The reviews of it say that they're making upwards of $40.00 a day by putting their minds to it, just for 5 hours or so.  I've gone ahead and signed up for the site, but as of this moment, there's no work available.  Demand is probably pretty high.  I'll continue to post about this app and let y'all know how it's working out for me.  Important side note: They pay out in 24 hours or less after the work is complete and accepted.  Pretty cool.  I'll let you know if it's legit and worth your time!

TrekPay Verdict: 3/5

So, if you've been reading my original posts, you may notice that I recommended Trek Pay.  Here's my ultimate verdict on the site after being with them for 4 months.

The pros: Low minimum for payout, Pays out to Paypal within 1 week, 1-tier Referrals, and you can advertise through them. Quick technical support.

The negatives: It takes forever to reach the minimum payout (5.50). I have 6 referrals, though I have no way of knowing if they're active or not, and I only just reached the minimum payout after clicking daily for approximately 4 months.  In comparison to sites like Clicksvista, this is absurd.  However, the site is still considered in beta, so that may be why the pay is so low at this point.  It might be worth checking back on once they're fully running.

If you're looking for advertising, I highly recommend their sister service, which is what powers TrekPay... Trek advertising.  You can sign up for as little as $5.00, and choose between having people either just view your site, or click the ads on your site as well.  I do not use this service, personally- I'm more interested in making money, but, the sites I see on TrekPay are usually for the same sites week after week, so I imagine it's working for them.

Bottom line: If you've got a ton of friends who want to sign up, give it a shot.  If you want cheap, guaranteed advertising, go for it.  Otherwise, don't bother with Trek Pay, at least for now.

 

By the way, if there's an online money making service you'd like to hear me talk about, drop me a comment.  I won't review anything that requires putting money down, but otherwise, I'm game.

Quids & Clicks Update

Sorry this is a bit late, folks!  The payments actually came in on-time, I've just been so busy I didn't have time to post them here.  Here's my payment proof for the month.

Quidscorner came in pretty low because I had just barely joined them. Next month will be way more impressive. Important note: Both sites have converted to once-monthly payments. You get paid for the clicks and offers you sign up for through the 20th of the month, and the payment comes in on the last day of the month/the 1st of the next month.

 

 

Free Daily Dough

Have you tried this site yet? Every weekday, they give away $1,000.  It's absolutely free to enter, unless you want to use their cellphone subscription service.  Personally, I just put a link to it on my toolbar and come back everyday! The initial run of this service will only be open until midway in October, then they are going to consider whether or not to make it a regular thing.  So enter while you can!  http://www.freedailydough.com/start.html

Clicks Vista Update (Again!)

Hey all,

I haven't gotten my 2nd payment just yet (should be coming in on October 1st... look for an update then!) but I wanted to let you all know that the two sites have increased their pay. Rather, there's more links to click! It's gone from $4.00 if you click all links at both sites per day to $4.30. It might not sound like much, but instead of $28 a month, it's now $30.10. $120 a month has turned into $129 a month. When these sites originally opened, they each only offered about $1.00 worth of clicks, and are now up to $2.15 a pop. The future looks pretty bright! Make sure to check it out, and remember, there are no fees, nothing to purchase or buy (unless you want to be one of the advertisers), just money to be had.
