Make Money Online Free

Another exciting thing that happened while I was away is that Cashcrate finally implemented the Direct Deposit payment option! Now instead of getting checks, you can choose to have the money you make on Cashcrate go straight into your bank account! This should also be great news to all the members/non members that had a problem of Cashcrate not paying by PayPal before!

Now don’t get me wrong, checks are still available for those that choose to receive them, but I’m definitely loving this new Direct Deposit option because I absolutely hate making the trip to the bank. Yes, I’m lazy. You should have figured that much by now.

So anyway, here are the basics about this new option.

– It’s available to Silver+ members. (To be a silver member you must get 50 active referrals. It’s easier than it sounds… really.)

– You simply need to enter your Direct Deposit information through the secure server and at the end of the month (starting next month, August, which is July’s earnings), Cashcrate will send your money directly into your bank account!

I’m sure a lot of you reading have the same questions.

“Hey I’m already skeptical about joining Cashcrate, now they need my bank account info for me to get paid?”

Well let me address this concern. Here’s what was posted by Patrick, who is an Administrator on the Cashcrate forums:

– We will be enabling HTTPS on our load balancers in preparation for the launch of direct deposit payments, which launches tomorrow. This is the “lock” you see when visiting a secure web site. We will be using full 256-bit encryption – same or better than your bank (my bank is 128-bit!) which will protect your sensitive account information. Once submitted, it is encrypted and stored in our systems using 1024-bit asymmetrical encryption – ensuring your account information is safe. These are industry-standard practices used by all major banks, credit unions, credit card companies, etc.

Initially, this security will only apply to the page where you submit your direct deposit information, since that is the only page that needs to be secured. This is the only page where your direct deposit information is transferred, so it is the only page that needs to have security applied.

Now I don’t understand a bit of that but it sounds like it would make sense. Also, I trust Cashcrate with my info because I have gotten paid from them every single month since I’ve signed up. For you who might be a skeptic and now looking to sign up, you might not be as trusting.

Well just remember, the check option is actually still there too! So if you’re worried about your bank account information being on Cashcrate, just select check as your payment method and you’ll get your money in the mail the good ole fashion way! šŸ™‚

If anyone has any other questions about this, please comment and I’ll gladly answer them, or try to find the answers if I don’t know them myself. šŸ™‚

This is just another asset that makes Cashcrate one of the best GPT sites in the industry!

So I am back from my vacation! Florida was awesome!! I really had a great time! šŸ˜‰ I took tons of pics! The view from my hotel was gorgeous!! I was so sad to leave.

view from hotel, florida, trini

Well other than that, I’m back here in New York and there’s so much to catch up with! I spent the entire day today catching up with my online work.

I read a few updates, did some offers, answered emails and pms, moderated at the forum, visited a few blogs, etc. Yup .. life is hectic lol.

Anyway here are a couple of things that happened recently!

First, I got another payment from YouData, which I always describe as the best PTC (paid to click) site I’ve ever come across.

youdata payment, best PTC site

It was for $1.77 and it brought my total online earnings to $1720.01! Pretty soon I’m gonna be hitting that two grand! That’s really exciting, considering that it’s been less than a year that I started doing all this.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Also, other than that payment, I just found out that I won the Jackpot on Deal Barbie Pays this week! I was really excited about it since I’ve been a member there for quite a while, about 6 months or so, and I’ve never ever won this weekly thing. But I knew it was my luck all along.

My luck is so bad, that I’m sure if I bought a cemetery, people would stop dying. True story.

Jackpots are randomly drawn every Tuesday at 9pm, and all it takes to enter is completing offers in the Offer Of the Week folder. These offers are marked special with **JACKPOT** so you know the difference. You get paid for the offer, it has to credit off course, and you also get entered into the jackpot.

Here’s a screen shot of the post in the Forum.

And here’s the money credited to my account.

So yup, all I did was complete an offer, which I usually do anyway, and I believe I only had one entry in there, meaning I only did 1 offer of the week, and I won a total of $16 woohoo! šŸ™‚ It was a nice lil addition to my total earnings there for this month, which happens to be over $100 by the way! (Will do actual amounts in my total earnings update post at the end of the month).

Another payment from one of the best survey sites out there, Pinecone Research.

pinecone research proof of payment, paypal

This is one of the best survey sites to earn money in your Paypal account.

This is my 12th payment from this company and it has brought my total earnings online to $1718.24!

____________________________________________________________________________________

Other than that, I’ve been packing to go on my mini vacation to Florida. I’m leaving tomorrow and I’ll be back Monday evening. šŸ˜‰ Can’t wait…

I even bought a new camera! Thanks to my online earnings I was able to purchase it without actually breaking my bank. It’s sweet.. I love it! And it’s P!NK!!! Just like my blog. lol..

new sony cybershot camera, pink

What do you guys think?

Well that’s all for now.. have a great weekend.. I know I will!

About Reanna R

My real name is Reanna but around the web, especially in the MMO (make money online) world, I'm referred to as TriNi. On this blog, I aim to teach people that it CAN be done; that there are legit and 100% free ways to make money online.

As always with this Make Money Online Free blog, I don’t always talk about what works for me and the ways I make money online free, but I’ve also promised to discuss things that DON’T work for me, which include scams, and other programs that I just find to be a total waste of time.

So today I’d like to talk about SurveyHead.

Surveyhead is a website like Pinecone Research, where you are sent emails whenever there is a new survey available for you. Surveys are usually assigned depending on if you suit the demographics the survey is looking for.

The difference between SurveyHead and Pinecone Research is that with Surveyhead, the amount you are paid varies depending on the survey. I’ve gotten surveys worth anywhere between $1 and $5. With Pinecone Research, you are paid the same amount each time you complete a survey. My payment per survey at Pinecone Research is a fixed $3. I have heard others getting paid $5 per survey completed. I believe it all depends on the time you signed up.

Anyway, before I start talking about why I found SurveyHead to be an utter waste of time in my opinion, let me post the following screen shot so you can follow along.

surveyhead account

In the above image, it shows a snapshot of my account so far. You can see that I’ve earned a total of $25 and have $6 pending.

Now take a look below.

survey history
^click for larger view, opens in a new window.

Above you’ll see a breakdown of how I earned that $25 dollars and which surveys I took. You can see that I got a $5 bonus for signing up. You can also see how much I earned for a particular survey I took, and the last line says Cash Out Request, because I’ve requested my payment which they will send via Paypal.

Now that all seems fine and dandy, but here are my issues with this company!

1. If you look at the date I registered, you’ll see that I registered on the 25th of October, 2008. I cashed out on July 17th, 2009. That means that the $25 I earned took me 10 months!

2. As if that wasn’t bad enough, a lot of the surveys I took above stayed pending for a VERY long time. It was not until I contacted support, not once but TWICE, that my surveys magically started crediting. It seemed to me like if I had never contacted them, I would have just been waiting still.

3. As if THAT isn’t bad enough, after I requested my payment, I got a message saying that it would take up to 4 weeks. That’s another month I have to wait, making it about 11 months, for $25.

I’m always talking about how every little bit add up on this site, but I only mean it for the sites that don’t require as much work. Eg, I make a little at a time on a paid to click site, YouData, but I only take about less than 2 minutes to click and view those ads.

These surveys on SurveyHead are usually pretty lengthy. They take at least 10 or 15 minutes to complete, sometimes even more. And in my opinion, I don’t think waiting almost a year to make only $25 is worth it. The only reason I stuck with this site for so long is because I believed that money I made doing those surveys was owed to me and I was determined to at least cash out once. Now I’m not so sure I’m going to keep this account anymore. I might just leave them with the $6 I have pending, because it’s probably going to take another year to get to me.

So in conclusion, I’d like to say that I would NOT recommend this survey site to anyone! As for if it really pays, I’m not even sure! If or when I receive my payment I’ll post it.

But it takes way too long to make money online on this site, and in my opinion, it’s just not worth the time.

If you’re looking to get paid for taking surveys online, then stick to Pinecone Research.

** Edit to add **
This was written as my first impression of this company but after re-reading it, I realized I was pretty hard on them and sort of made it sound as though they were a scam. They are not. After this post, I have been paid by SurveyHead, and I can say for sure they are definitely a legit survey site.

youdata payment proof, get paid to click and view ads online, make money online free

As usual I got the above payment from YouData last Friday! Again it doesn’t seem like much, but you can’t expect to be paid a million dollars for clicking and viewing an ad. It’s still something and every little bit adds up. It’s also the highest paying PTC (paid to click) site I’ve found, paying up to $0.25 per ad!

Sign up at YouData.com and earn a little extra every week!

This payment brought my total earnings online to $1715.24!

Other than that, not much is new. I’m really tired after going to a wedding this weekend, so today I’m pretty much just relaxing. Next weekend I’ll be in Florida.

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Happy Sunday! šŸ™‚

Today I wrote my first Ezine Article, Is Cashcrate Legit? It more or less explains why people think Cashcrate is a scam when they first hear about it. I’m pretty proud of it because you’re articles have to be of a certain quality to be accepted by Ezine. You don’t make money from Ezine Articles, but it can be a great source of traffic for your blog. I plan on writing a few more in the near future.

Today, I also had THE MOST painful bikini wax ever, but I digress. šŸ˜‰

fast easy money online Anyway, I just wanted to do a little update and let everyone know that I’m still around making money online free. I have a couple of hectic weeks coming up and I’ll be running around here there and everywhere, so I might not post as often, but I’m still here, raking in some free extra money!

Here are how my earnings add up so far for the middle of the month:

Cashcrate: $49.30

Deal Barbie Pays: $110.37

Squishy Cash: $16.81

Those are my 3 main sources of online income, there are others, but I’ll include them in the total monthly earnings post at the end of the month.

As you can see, I’m not doing too bad even though I’ve really been focused on alot of other things this month!

A few other things I’d like to mention before I head to bed:

– The “Guess The Image” forum contest held by me on the Deal Barbie Pays forum ended tonight. The winner was Lizplustwins! Congrats to her, she won $5!

– Thanks to a certain Robert M. who donated $5 on my blog recently! I really REALLY appreciate it. Thank you again, ever so much!

– Last but not least, it’s just about a week more until I go to Florida on vacation! I can’t wait! šŸ˜€

Goodnight y’all!

Last Friday, YouData sent me my eleventh payment. Now it’s not for much, but my point is, I got this without doing a whole lot at this site. At any other PTC site, you’d probably have to click close to 100 ads before you earned this. So not worth it in my opinion! YouData is definitely not a scam, and it’s a very fast easy way to make some extra bucks every month!

youdata proof of payment

Today, I also got a payment from Pinecone Research for another survey I completed! This survey site is so quick with their payments, and I must say that their surveys are actually really fun and interesting sometimes!

These two payments brought my online earnings to $1714.47! šŸ™‚

I’ve written so many posts about why people think Cashcrate is a scam. I have gotten tons of questions which include, “Is this legit?”, “Do they really pay you?”, and “What’s the catch?”

Well today, all I have to say is, the proof is in the payment! And here it is.

Cashcrate Payments now come in an envelope, as you can see above. (P.S. I really need a manicure so ignore my horrendous nail). Here is the actual check that was inside of that envelope. That also got a face lift and looks a bit different to the previous ones but it’s 100% real and legit!

This is my eight payment from Cashcrate.

If that doesn’t prove to you that this is a 100% legit program and it’s definitely not a scam, then I don’t know what will.

I think what most people wonder about the most is, “Why would they give away free money?” My blog is called Testimonial of a Skeptic, and trust me, it’s for a reason. I was so skeptical about Cashcrate when I first signed up! I didn’t even tell anyone I joined because I was afraid what if I never got paid and everyone would laugh at how stupid I was for falling for a scam.

But look at how far I’ve come today!

This payment of $118.99 brought my total earnings online to $1710.49!

But it’s 1:10A.M. right now, and as much as I’d like to stay and talk about Cashcrate not being a scam, I have to be up to hit the gym in about 7 hours or so. Had a really long tiring, but fun weekend too so I’m pooped. Goodnight!

Will try to do another post tomorrow.. or well more like later today.

*** EDITED TO ADD ***
This post was made before Scour cancelled their point reward system, so basically, everything mentioned below no longer occurs on Scour. I have removed Scour from my list of sites to make money online with. Please read the following post for more info on this.

Scour Cancelled Their Point Reward System!
******

So usually on this site, I rave about how much I love Swagbucks! I’ve already accumulated 851 by simply searching online. Well I’ve found another great site that awards you points for searching online. You can redeem these points for Visa giftcards worth $25, $50, or $100!

Earn money with Scour!
I have added this site to my list of legit paying sites you can make money online with. Here are the basics you need to know about Scour:

You can win a maximum of 3 points per search, but usually you get:
1 Point = Search, 1 Point = Vote, 1 Point = Comment

Points will be earned from the first 100 daily searches with a daily cap of 300 total points.

It’s currently open to members of all countries, but the current rewards schedule for Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, U.S., and U.K is:

* 6,500 Rewards Points may be redeemed for a $25.00
* 12,500 Rewards Points may be redeemed for a $50.00
* 25,000 Rewards Points may be redeemed for a $100.00

The countries that weren’t listed above are eligible to participate in the following rewards schedule:

* 50,000 Rewards Points may be redeemed for = $5.00

Scour is open to members 13 and older!

Another great feature is that, in addition to your regular Scour points, you are awarded 1 “Scour Giveaway” entry point with every search that you make. Each point enters you into our $1,000 giveaway drawing at the end of each month!

I know by now you’re probably aching to sign up, but here are some other important things you should know about Scour so that you don’t put your account at risk! The following is not tolerated and can either cause points to be deducted from your account, or you can be banned in full!

Searching:

* Searches of invalid characters:
o Example: asdfadfadsfsadfadslkal;kjfdlakjfdalsjfa, $@#%&^%^
* Suspicious non-human search patterns: Searches conducted by an automated script
o Example: X5648, X5647, X5646, X5645, X5644
* Repeated searches
o Example: a, ab, abc, abc1
* Spam Searches: Excessive one word searches that do not exhibit normal user behavior.
o Example: dog, park, vote, starks, green, sand, box, filled
* Erratic Searches: Excessive unrelated searches within very short period of times.
o Example: Dog, Sony Plasma TV, Einstein, newyek, repsev, newyork,…

Commenting:

* Excessive amount of short non-descript comments.
o Example: great, i like it, cool, fun etc…
* Repeated comments
o Example: recommended site, recommended site!, I recommend this site
* Invalid words within comments
o Example: asdfadfadsfsadfadslkal;kjfdlakjfdalsjfa, $@#%&^%^
* Vulgar comments: Profanity or offensive content.
* Self promotion: Excessive promotional statements about your own site.

Promotional efforts

* Instructing others on how to game the Scour rewards system (Youtube videos, blog posts etc…)

Email Invites:

* Emails sent to users who you have never had any previous interaction with.
* Emails that cause multiple spam complaints from users.

No Self Invited Accounts or Multiple Accounts Under A Single User

Notes:

* Any banned account within your friend network will deduct points earned from that friend.
* Please do not violate the rewards system. It is something we are trying to offer to you as an incentive. Don’t abuse it.

Negative Behavior or Inappropriate Language – Hate speech, discriminatory words and negative behavior are not acceptable. Don’t use sexual or vulgar language or images. No insulting others, using slurs or objectionable terms. No spam or soliciting. Don’t Use Scour For Personal or Financial Gain. Do not use Scour to proposition people or promote your products/services. Refrain from comments that aren’t related to the listing. Don’t Break Local or Federal Laws While Using Scour. Do not attempt to trick people into sharing their personal information, don’t harass, threaten, impersonate or hurt others, don’t invade the privacy of others, don’t try to steal anything copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise not yours… don’t break any laws. Do not link to or promote any site that has viruses or other malicious programs that may interfere with Scour or with other users.

Creating multiple accounts or posting any content just to gain more points or solicit others for points is not accepted. Copy/pasting other users’ comments and answers, as well as posting filler answers, questions or comments is also considered cheating. Don’t post the same thing multiple times.

Now here are a few of the things I like better about Scour than Swagbucks! But don’t get me wrong, In my opinion, they’re both great and can be used side by side daily to combine your earnings online!

Scour awards you up to 300 points per day, whereas Swagbucks only awards randomly and you can probably only win a few times per day.

Scour also awards you points for commenting and voting on searches you perform. Swagbucks doesn’t have this option.

Scour awards you 25% of the points your friends make, for life. Swagbucks awards you up to 100 bucks and then that’s it.

Scour has a message system where you can contact your referrals and help them if they aren’t sure how to use the site. Swagbucks doesn’t have this!

Scour gives you the option to customize your search results so that it shows results only or mostly from your favorite search engines, eg Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc. You can set it to bring in results 100% from Google if you’d like. This makes it a much better search engine than Swagbucks.

I’ve only been using it for a couple days and I’m already up to 280 points! Sign up at Scour.com and start earning points too! After all, you SHOULD be getting paid to search!

This is very exciting news so I had to do a separate post about it.

Swagbucks, which is a search engine that awards you digital dollars that you can redeem for prizes online, now added the option to cash out via Paypal! Instead of winning just prizes and gift cards with this great program, you can now earn cash! This is about the easiest way to make money online free that I can think of.

Currently you need 80 bucks for every $5 in cash deposited to your Paypal account!

I already have 851 Swagbucks! That’s about $10.63 in cash, but since I’ve been saving for a while, I might keep going and cash in for a prize or giftcard. I prefer a prize or gift card option as of now because I make money online free in other ways. But that doesn’t mean you can’t earn cash with Swagbucks. It’s a great way for anyone that isn’t interested in taking surveys or offers for cash. You can make money by just searching online, which I’m sure you already do anyway!

What’s even better is that this new PayPal option is open to UK and Canadian members!

If you’re still not familiar with how this site works, you can read my post about What is Swagbucks?

And here’s my latest win from Swagbucks.com!
