Weekend Update

Austin, Jonny, and I (and Patrick) did our first 5k Saturday. It was an amazing turnout. The Dan River Autism Awareness 5k raised over $12,000 its first year. We all had a great time, especially Austin. You know it's a fun time when there are balloon animals. Next year, we'll start earlier and get in on all the festivities. Here's Team Austin, minus Jonny who was in the bathroom at the time.

I've never seen a baby eat so much or go through as many diapers as Patrick. It's a good thing we use cloth diapers. Otherwise, we'd still be buying diapers every other day. Yes, every other day. That's like $7 a day in diapers. I guess a lot of babies probably need diaper changes that often, but Patrick refuses to sit in a wet or dirty diaper, whether it's disposable or cloth. If he starts crying, the first thing we do now is check to see if he needs a diaper change as it's the most likely. He eats every two hours-some times less-and we change his diaper about every thirty minutes unless he's asleep. It's a good thing he sleeps through the night because his daytime schedule wears me out. 

I joined Bing Rewards today. I can't believe how easy it is. It's not going to make me rich, probably $5 per month, at most, but it couldn't be much easier. You get a reward limit each day and you earn 1 point for every two searches up to that limit. My limit was ten today so I searched twenty times. It took me about two minutes. They have a variety of rewards to choose from: Amazon gift cards, Xbox Live subscription, Redbox codes, Hulu Plus subscription, along with others. The $5 Amazon gift card (my go-to reward) is 525 points. If my limit is ten every day, it'll take me less than two months to earn that. I've heard that eight is the lowest limit. If you'd like to give Bing Rewards a try, click HERE. You don't lose anything by giving it a test drive.

Jingit has started a new campaign. In addition to watching video ads on their website and doing check-ins at places like Walmart, they now have ads placed around Walmart.com (with other websites to follow, I hope). You go to Walmart.com, look around their site some, find an ad with the Jingit curl, and click. You'll get a pop-up window with the Jingit homepage and a video ad will appear momentarily. Once the video is finished, money will be added to your balance. Also, if you'll notice, the weekly limits have increased. If you originally had a limit of $5, it has been increased to $10. Through the month of April, there will be three ads available each day. If you're getting $0.50 per ad, you'll meet that limit easily. That's an easy $40 per month. I'm already at $3.00 for the week and my Jingit week starts today. That's $3.00 just today. Not too shabby.

A Little Bit About Irazoo

Another $5 AGC from Irazoo posted today. Irazoo is just so easy. If you're not doing it, you're missing out. If all you want to do is the bare minimum, you can get 10 points per day in games (all you have to do is open the window and wait for it to credit-1pt/game), 5 points for going checking out the offer walls and a minimum of 10 points for each search. I can generally get a search win every 1 1/2-2 hours. If you search just 6 times, that's 60 points. And there are Treasure Codes worth at least 10 points about every week. All of that will take you less than ten minutes a day. I do all the dailies (games, offer wall, at least three searches/day, and the treasure codes), I get a few points a day from referrals, I try a few surveys, and I do a few offers from the offer wall and I manage about $5/week. 

A little bit about the offers. Irazoo generally pays better than Swagbucks on offers. The conversion rate is  6pts=$0.01. It seems low, but if you look at how much AGCs cost at SB and compare them to Irazoo and you look at how much they each pay for things, you'll see that Irazoo is the better deal. The first wall (or tab) I check is Matomy. The only thing I do there is videos. There aren't always videos, but if they're there you can get some easy points that way. Just play them and go do something else for a couple of minutes. After that, I check Trial Pay. I generally only use Trial Pay for special offers I'm willing to pay for (great for gifts) as they generally pay the most and are the most reliable. But they also have Lab42, a survey group that has quick surveys for a fair amount. At Irazoo, they're worth 300 points. That's a dollar. They don't always have surveys and if they do, I don't always qualify, but I check throughout the day. Then, I head over to Radium One. They're reliable (I rarely have to submit a ticket) and they have a good amount of easy offers from which to choose. Some videos, some sample/coupon offers (submit your information and a new email every time), maybe a Facebook application. Just read the description under the title and see if it's something you want to do. The more instructions, the less likely is to credit. [As a sidenote, Hushmail is the application I use for a new email address. It's easy to sign up and easy to log in. If you don't sign in for two weeks, it self-destructs. Perfect for offers that require email confirmation.] Gambit is a good place to look for more videos. Then, I head over to Peanut Labs and see if they have any surveys. They're generally pretty easy, pay well, and will DQ you pretty quickly if you don't fit the qualifications. Lastly, I check Sponsor Pay and Super Rewards-only for high-paying offers because they often don't credit for me.

Best part about Irazoo is the fact that all the cards are exactly the same amount. $5 AGC=3000pts, $10 AGC=6000pts, etc. If you want to give Irazoo a try, click HERE. And feel free to ask me any questions you may have.

New Sites to Recommend

Irazoo
I finally earned enough irazoo points to cash out for a $5 Amazon gift card. It isn't much, but every little thing counts. And I don't use irazoo so much that I feel like I've wasted my time. You can win points with the search function up to 10 times a day. Yesterday, I won 240 points with 7 searches. You can get 1 point for each game you play, up to 10 points. You get 5 points just for opening up the offer page, which really just requires clicking a link. While you're there, check out Gambit for videos (usually worth between 2-7 points each). There may occasionally be some decent offers on the other walls as well, but for the most part I only do offers on one pay-site. It can get confusing otherwise. There is also a code (easily located on their facebook wall) issued every few days. The last code was worth 16 points. If you max out the dailies (search wins, games, offer page) every day, you could easily cash out for a $5 AGC at least once a month. I cashed out 3000 points for a $5 AGC yesterday morning and I'm already back up to 400 points. If you're looking for a new site just to tinker around on, I can definitely recommend irazoo.

Calyp
Calyp is a different type of earning potential. It's a pay-per-click network. You must have some sort of social network account in order to use this. Here's the basic idea: you endorse a product (ie. Lifesavers candy), you post a link to your Facebook, Twitter, blog, or LinkedIn, you get paid for 1-posting the link, 2-people clicking on the link, 3-people clicking through to an external site. I've been using the site since January 1 and I'm already up to $15. They issue a debit card at $30 so I'm halfway there already. I definitely like the potential of this site.

**Note:
Even if you're not a referral, if you every have any questions about a site, or you have one you want me to try, let me know. I'm always here to help. I won't be around as much, at least at first, once the little bundle of joy arrives (any day now), but if you leave a comment or email me, I'll try to get back to you as quickly as possible. I love all the money I've been able to earn on the different sites and I like to share my enthusiasm. I obviously appreciate referrals, but that's not what this is about.

Payouts for December

I've cashed in, and received $75 in Amazon gift cards for the month of December from Swagbucks. I have enough swagbucks remaining in my account to cash out for five $5 Amazon gift cards at the beginning of January and I have about 20% toward a $50 Amazon gift card. Here's a screenshot of my balance from my cash outs from the past month:

I have $29.00 on my Jingit card, which means I transferred $18.80 in December. Not bad for a few minutes a day of watching commercials while I watch television. Here's a screenshot of my balance (I cash out at the end of the week): 

These are still the only two sites from which I've received payouts so far. And as such, these are still the only two sites I will actively recommend. They are highly recommended from me. I've been very happy with both of these. Neither will be enough to allow you to quit your full-time job, however, it's a great way to earn a few extra bucks on your own time. My husband really only uses Swagbucks to search and he cashed out for a $5 Amazon gift card this month-just for doing something he was going to do anyway. 


Swagbucks: $75 cashed out to Amazon.com
Jingit: $18.80 balance (will cash out at the end of the week)


Superpoints: 816 points (2500 needed to cash out)
SendEarnings: $10.01 ($30 needed to cash out)
iRazoo: 1997 points (3000 points needed to cash out)
Points2Shop: 418 points (cashing out at 2000 points) <--obviously I didn't do much here this month
Opinion Outpost: 20 points (100 points needed to cash out) <--obviously I didn't do much here this month

Payouts for November

I've cashed in, and received, $125 in Amazon gift cards for the month of November from Swagbucks. I have enough swagbucks remaining in my account to cash out for five $5 Amazon gift cards at the beginning of December. Here's a screenshot of my balance from my cash outs from the past month:

My final November balance for Jingit is $10.20. That's really only for about a hour's worth of watching commercials while I watch television. Here's a screenshot of my balance (I cash out once a week after I max out):

These are the only two I have gotten payouts from so far. I have 685 superpoints; 3200 points are needed to cash out at 'basic' level. SendEarnings requires $30 to cash out; my balance is $8.25. iRazoo requires 3000 points to cash out; I have 288 points. I have 418 points at Points2Shop; I am cashing out at 1000 points (they do have prizes at lower levels). I have 20 points on Opinion Outpost; 100 points are needed to cash out. 

Swagbucks: $125 cashed out to Amazon.com

Jingit: $10.20 balance (will cash out after maxing out for the week)

Superpoints: 685 points from clicking a button 30 times/day (3200 needed to cash out)

SendEarnings: $8.25 ($30 needed to cash out)

iRazoo: 288 points from treasure codes and occasionally searching (3000 points needed to cash out)

Points2Shop: 418 points (cashing out at 1000 points)

Opinion Outpost: 20 points (100 points needed to cash out)

I will update at the end of the day or tomorrow if the points level changes.

There's a lot happening at Swagbucks!

Right now, there are a lot of exciting things happening at Swagbucks! There's a promo code out that adds an extra 80 swagbucks to the 30 swagbucks you normally get when signing up. There's a drawing for a $2,500 Amazon gift card. Swagbucks is giving away different items from the Swag Store (the store where you trade in your points for items like gift cards, electronics, movies, etc.) each day. There is also a charity drive to benefit Feeding America.There are also exciting promotions that run each week: Music Monday, Twitter Tuesday Phrase That Pays and Twitter Trivia, and Friday is Mega Swagbucks Day.

If you've considered joining Swagbucks, now is definitely the time to do it! There are still 39 days until Christmas. That's plenty of time to earn extra money for the holidays from Swagbucks.
