I'm Getting Overloaded With Info

I am sorry this post is taking so long to get out. March has been a busy month so far. In addition to the paid survey sites, I have started to market the Key-To-Cash program as best that I can. As of right now I have no one signed up. I have joined four really good traffic exchanges to get traffic to the Key-To-Cash sign up page. I have put in about an hour a day, and have sent the page out over 850 views. In addition I have had the banner viewed over 170 times. As you can see by the banner on my blog to the right, I have also joined, SpinSuccess. Because I really have no experience what so ever with search engine optimisation SEO, I thought I would pay the $29.95 to have these guys do it for me. They manually get you registered with 100's of search engines, of which I know nothing about. I'll give you a update in a month to tell you how it worked. I have also joined ClixSense.

I'm going to jump ahead of my self a little to catch everyone up on what I am doing with the blog. Right now I am trying to drive traffic to the blog and to the Key-To-Cash program. The traffic is not really targeted traffic, just surfers. I hope that just by the numbers, a blind squirel might find a nut. To build up my traffic numbers, I load Traffic Swarm, Dragon Surf, Hits 4 You, and ClixSense into my tabbed browser and start surfing. I put ClixSense in there for a very good reason. You are required to have the site open for about 20 seconds for each of the traffic exchanges. If you load 3 of them in your browser and surf, you have some seconds left over. That is why I make up that time with ClixSense. They pay $0.01 to $0.05 to surf their ads. Why not make money while you wait if you are surfing anyway. Well it is not very much money, but it is something! You do have to upgrade for $10.00 though or you will run out of ads to view.
I have a ton of surfing credits to use now and I have made $4.80 on ClixSense at the same time.
If you are going to do the traffic exchange thing, you might as well do ClixSense at the same time, if nothing more than to have something to show for your time.

This month I am going to work a little harder on the GPT sites like Cash Crate. I have been a member with 5 of them, and I have made a little money on each. There was more opportunity to make money on each but I did not have the time with everything else. I am going to try to make $300.00 a month, just by using the 5 sites. My next post will outline the 5 sites I am going to use, but there are a lot of them out there. $300.00 might be pushing it a little, due to the fact that a lot of the offers are duplicated between the sites. All I can do is try though.

Getting back to the Key-To-Cash experiment, I am getting a little sceptical at this point. I think that the program will work, I have no doubt about that. I have seen it work over and over in other instances. The problem I see with it is that it plays right into my personal weakness. I do not like to ask people for money. If I have a product to give someone in return, like a house, or a bookcase, or something like that, it is a different story. My early conclusions to the program is that it must be used by the right person, or else you will go no where. $25.00 is not a lot of money though to see if you have what it takes, if you are unsure.

My Every So Often Rant

On a blog that I like to visit, CashCrate Tips the author has a section where she posts her "daily rants". I thought this was such a good of a idea I thought I would add a couple of my own rants to my blog. This involves the survey companies that ask you to do a survey for a sweepstakes entry. Anyone who knows me will tell you I am very passionate about the value of one's time. I feel that we all have a limited time on this earth, some have a lone time, and some way to short. Regardless of how much time we have, every one's time is of equal value. Anyone who believes that their time is more important than another's, is selfish and rude. As a employer I always expected to compensate my employee's for their time no matter what I asked them to do. It is up to that person to judge if their time is worth that or not. The survey companies that would like you to take a survey, for which they are getting paid, and do it for free, or what they like to call a sweepstakes entry, is being rude and irrispective. And that's all I have to say about that.


Coming up: The last of my survey site reviews. This is a group of "get paid to" sites.

Paid Survey Site Scams? Not Really.

Well here is the rest of my list. These sites have produced little to nothing for me in the past 6 weeks. There are many people on the Internet that would like to call these scams. That is just not the case. Many of the following survey sites have not sent out surveys to me simply because I do not fit the profile that matches most of their surveys. I'm ok with that. There are also a few on the following list that are there because they sent out 2 or 3 surveys a day, but they are only for entries in sweepstakes.

I am not going to grade these sites for the fact, I just don't have enough interaction with them yet. After a few more months, I may review them if needed. I am not going to put my referral link to these either. I feel doing so when they have not really worked out for me, would be some what deceptive. I am trying to stay away from that in my blog. Please use your own judgement on these sites, some could be very productive for a different person, and I would not want to steer you away from a good site. For example, the Contractor Advisory Board never sent one survey out in 6 weeks, then yesterday I got one for a lawn tractor review, it took about 10 minutes and I made $20.00. So here is the rest...


Netverdix.com...No surveys

MySurvey.com...Surveys every day but qualified for very few, and surveys were long for little money.

VocalLabs.com...I had one survey in February where I had to call Best Buy and give my impressions on their customer service. I made $1.00 for this.

FocusFwdonline.com...I am getting more surveys the last couple of days, but in February I only did one for $1.00

Contractor Advisory Board...$0.00 for February, but I did just have a survey for $20.00 that will go towards March totals.

JuryTest...$0.00 with no surveys, but I bet it would be interesting to get on one of their jury panels.

Buzzback.com...$0.00 for February, and no surveys.

MyPoints.com...A lot of surveys for sweepstakes entries. Points are worth very little for surveys.

Esearch.com...$0.00 one survey in January and that is it so far.

Nielsennetpanel...MyHughesnet security program did not work well with their software you have to install.

Greenfieldonline.com...Nothing but sweepstakes entries. Check out my" I got a rant!", post.

SurveySpot.com...Same thing, nothing but sweepstakes entries.

ExecutiveAdvisoryBoard.com...I only had 1 survey and that was in January, it was worth $10.00.

Ipsosi-say.com...Very few surveys, worth very little.

Surveys.com...I have not been a member very long, a review is still to come.

That is my list of the Paid Survey Sites that have not been very good for ME. I would like to say again that the results might be totally different with someone who fits a different profile. If anyone out there has had different results, please let me know so I can pass it on.
