3 sites I have been paid from this month.

3 sites that I have been paid from this week are:
GP treasure
MyLot
Sizzlefizzle.


I am enjoying trying out these various sites to bring the information to you,

Mylot Paid!!

Today received £16.37 from myLot for postings in August. An excellent site that has a good reputation and I have got the proof I needed myself.
Highly recommended as a safe and fun site, with a good payout system. The site says about the 15th of each month is payday, and I have received today on the 12th. :)

Sizzlefizzle paid!!

Happy as I have received a payment from Sizzlefizzle for $16.25 in the end. The rest I have re-requested and hope to receive the first week of next month. As usual I will keep you posted.

Reviewstream Update - September.

Wow, wow and an even bigger wow. I have been on the site now for just over 2 weeks and have submitted just 14 reviews. 1 got turned down, but I was able to adjust it, add a bit and resubmit and it got accepted the second time. I have made so far........ $13.20!! Woo hoo

One tip though is to only use 1 email address and I would presume one that is linked to your Paypal for payment. I started with one address which I have earned the $3.20 on and the other $10 is on another email. The reason being that I actually forgot what email I had first signed up with. The payout is at $50 but at this rate I should do it in no time, using the account I have $10 with. Once I reach it I will have to concentrate on reviewing under the other email to reach the $50 there too.

I have so far managed to get a lot of my reviews accepted at $2.00 and the rest at $0.40 so this is good.

Tip 2 - Tick the bulk rate box no matter what when submitting. I do and they still pay the $2.00 rate if they particularly want the review.

Sizzlefizzle update - Sept

Still no payout from them. I emailed and eventually got a response saying they want lots of ID from me, including address, full name and photo ID. I thought this a bit bizarre as I have a verified Paypal account and have never been asked to provide this sort of ID to any other site up until now.

I have spoken to some other people that use the site and some have said they have been paid but for me alas no joy until I give out my personal details, which in this instance I am not prepared to do.

September update. GP treasure

I received my first payout today from GPTreasure. The site is one that has offers (free) to complete, in a step by step manner. It is a great site as it tells you exactly how far on the offer you need to go to get the payout and complete it. I have only done a few to try it out and most offers seem to pay between $0.20 and $0.80 and today I received my first payout from them straight into my paypal account.

I am happy about this and give this site a big thumbs up. I have been chatting to others and have heard some very good reviews about this site, hence why I signed up in the first place and they were proved to be right.

Reviewstream

What better way for me to earn money than reviewing things. I love to review hence why I started this blog in the first place, and then through someone on mylot I was introduced to the site http://www.reviewstream.com

What a wonderful site this is and I have already spoken to people that have been paid out. People seem to be earning (and getting into Paypal) between $20 and $50 a month for reviewing everything and anything. It seems that it is easy to reach the $20 by doing 2-3 reviews a day.

What do you review? Anything you like; a place, product, person, country, shop, car, book, song and the list could go on and on. Decide what you want to review and go ahead and do so. I have heard that to give a good review you should really make it thorough, at least 200 words and also use more opinion than description in it.

How does the pay work? Well they are currently paying $0.40 cents per review that is submitted to the bulk section, unless it is something that is requested and then they pay $2.00 for it. They can reject a review if they feel it not good enough though but from the people I have spoken to this rarely happens. After submitting a review it goes to them and they send a confirmation email. Within up to 72 hours you are meant to receive a confirmation as to whether it is accepted and your earnings for it. Payout seems quite high at $50, but then keep reviewing and this doesn't seem to take long. I tonight have submitted 4 review. 1 about value rice pudding and 1 about value coffee granules, 1 about Chessington World of Adventures and 1 about mylot.

For more information about reviewstream from others that use it, go onto mylot and search for it in the search bar. Click discussions tab and full text for a variety of topics about the site, including from those that have been paid.

Tip: When submitting click that you will accept bulk payment as from what I can make out, if the review is wanted they will pay you higher and if not you will guarantee your $0.40 no matter.

Free to join and no registration. Just provide them with a username/pen name and then your paypal email and off you go.

I am going to aim to do at least 1 review a day on there and see how quick my money comes in and I shall update in a few days time on this site.

August 13th.. Update on previous sites.

I have a new site to review tonight but more on that later. For now I want to have a quick update on the sites I have already reviewed so far.

Mylot is going very well, although I haven't posted there every day. I joined the site on July 15th and so far have $8.13 in my account and that is before it gets updated tomorrow. The minimum payout is at $10.00 and it is 2 days until I have done a full month so guess what my goal is?

I have reached over 200 posts now which is great as I now have access to the smilies to make my topics more appealing and I have so far got 9 referrals writing under me. None of these referrals are very active though and it probably accounts for about $0.50 of my earnings only so the rest is earned by me.
To summarise it looks like I can make a regular amount of $10 a month from mylot and if I get more active referrals this will go up even more

Sign up for free through the link on the right.

Sizzlefizzle is now at $28.56 and still my $15.00 is pending. Due to be paid out on the first week of the month I am still waiting with baited breath. I have used the site a bit since but until I see if payout is actually going to happen I will keep it down for now, concentrating on some of the other sites. I half expect now to receive the money in the first week of September. The site has undergone a new look over the last few days, and so they are active and maybe so active that payments are being delayed.
I shall keep updating with the progress.

Slice the Pie I have to admit, that I have not used this site again since I last reviewed (rapped knuckles!!) so I must try harder this week :)

Also note I have been cheeky and added my link for Helium, where I have written a few articles. The link will take you to my home page where you can read my articles and rate them. From here you can go off and see what else the site has to offer. As a quick summary review, it is a writing site, where yet again you can earn from your writing, but so far it is very slow. Still a great site though and I hope to review at a later date.

Pay to click sites are going good. I am currently signed up to all of the linked sites on this blog and try to click daily. Some are earning more than others, and in about 1 week I have approximately $10 from the sites put together. Some are not going to pay out, as this is the way it goes, and the way to find the real scam sites. There are a few sites though that others have been giving very good reviews on though and they are isobelmarco,neobux,crewbux and thinkbux. I am a member of each of these and I get some more time I will try to give a review on each of the sites.

Helium

CBClickbank - Does it work? Ongoing review

Hi everyone.
Its been a busy week what with clicking away at PTC sites, joining a few new ones, and checking out different sites.

Last week, through another fellow mylotter (see review) I joined as a referral under CBClickbank. http://cbclickbank.com/affiliate/?r=eveeee
I was dubious (and have to be honest, I still am) but I thought well I have nothing to lose apart from a bit of my time. All he was asking was for people to join up under him, as his referral. There is no costs to join up and the registration was very quick and simple.

Now this is where I get confused, as a bit of a newbie to this type of site. So hopefully someone can help me out here, and leave a comment. How does it work?
On a straight referral system. Once you have signed up then you get you own referrals. No clicking on ads, or anything else. Just get them referrals.

I can see how the person I signed up under was getting his referral line built up. I think he was giving referrals away to those that signed up underneath him, so as to build his own even quicker. Good idea if it works! I like his style :)
By the time I signed up under him, he had had loads of requests and sign ups, so I didn't get any which was a shame, but I know of others that did as they posted replies. I presume he was too busy. Less than an hour ago I put out a post for my own people to join, to help me with my research. Hopefully I will get enough to get the ball rolling. If you are interested then click and register using the banner below.

Sounds to easy? Yes thats what I think, which is why I am giving it a go, as I love to proved wrong in situations like this and if I am proved right, well I still have nothing to lose, as I can write a full report on here, for my friends to read; naming and shaming.

Slice the Pie

Wow, I just love this site and have only been on it for a short while this evening. Upcoming artists and bands have the chance to get their tracks rated by members, who in turn earn. You can also listen to a variety of music without viewing and also there is a very active forum to go in and meet other members. I have only touched on the whole site here, but would highly recommend that you pay it a visit.

Go to scout rooms and listen to a track. After 60 seconds the box comes up to leave a review and there is the slide rater to give an out of 10 score. Your personal star ratings go up by leaving good and meaningful reviews and also rating on par with others to show that you are a good reviewer.

Based on a start system for ratings, the earnings are as follows: from 3p per track on a 1 star rating up to 25p per track on a 5 star rating. Money can be requested at £5.00 and can be paid into paypal amongst other options

Please take a look at this site which incidentally is free to register on, so if you love your music and earning then this is the site for you. http://www.slicethepie.com

Sizzlefizzle update

Right it has now just passed the first week of August and so far no payment. The site states that requests need to be made the previous month, and are paid out in the first week of the next. Not the first site to be slow though. I am so close to reaching my next $15, that I really want this one to pay out, so that I can think about requesting my next payout. I love the site and would hate to leave it and 'Scam it' through non payment.

If anyone has anything to share about sizzlefizzle, like if you have or haven't been paid, then please add a comment, as I would be really interested to hear. It would also help us to spread the word about the site.

There's no denying it is a fun site but are they a 'payer' or a 'scammer'?
Answers on a postcard please ;)

PTC Sites

Happy Tuesday!

I have been busy with lots of different ptc (pay to click) sites, and have been making some notes on them all. Once I have an idea of how they are going I will start reviewing. In the meantime the links are on the right here and feel free to join any of them.

If you have a review you would like to share on here about an existing linked site or another, then please email me at: cosmicscache@yahoo.co.uk or leave a message on the blog.

List of known scam sites

I have come across a great list that shows in alphabetical order all the known scam sites to avoid. This not only means you can check any site against the list and then avoid them but also you can see that none of the sites I have linked to this blog are listed either.

This also makes my life easier as I only have to review the good ones. :)

The list as promised is at this site: http://www.ptctalk.com/scamalert.php
Thanks to those of you (and you know who you are) who have signed up to some of the sites.

If anyone else has any sites that they wish to exchange with me then let me know.

Sizzlefizzle

Site: sizzlefizzle

Cost to join: Free

Site overview: This site is a voting, pay to click style site. The site runs competitions that are mainly photo based, but sometimes videos, and the idea is to click on the one that you feel will be the competition winner. There is hidden money that you will receive as you keep voting, which adds up in your account, plus chances to win money elsewhere. Earn points for entering a vote, and for correctly predicting the winner of each round. Points give you a place on the leaderboard, and the highest on the leaderboard each day wins $10 and the overall monthly winner wins $100. Users of the site can also enter competions, which is usually free, but this is clearly stated, or they can start up there own competitions. Points can also be earned by entering a message about the photos at the bottom of each page.

My review: I have been with the site for a few weeks now, and have participated most days. It is a fun site, and although some of the competitions are a bit strange, some are great. Either way it makes for a fun time clicking. I find I can sit and do this while watching tv, so not too much hard work.

I have managed to get to the top of the daily leaderboard within the first few weeks, and the money is pending to be transferred over. This helped to bump up my money, but I have also nearly reached payout again and have not got to the top again yet. My aim for this month is definitely top of the monthly board. I couldn't do this last month as I joined part of the way through and was too far behind the others.

The daily leaderboard is quite easy to do when you start, as you will probably click and vote in each one, which means alot of points. After this you will only have a few competitions to enter if you go in everyday. There is not a way (I have found yet) to arrange the competitions to find the ones in progress that are waiting for votes, which is a pain.

I have found that by popping in daily and clicking through the pages you will come across a few daily ones that have one round only, and these normally contain hidden cash. If you are aiming for points though to get to the top, I recommend going in about every 3-4 days, to give the rounds a chance to finish. Once you have entered a round, you need to wait until the round finishes before you get a chance to vote in the next round.

Since joining I have added a few photos to competitions to see how they do. I don't think there is any prize money for winning on these ones, but some you can win on. This is stated on the contest page, and is worth double checking for any fee to enter. As far as I have seen this is the only place where there can possibly be a charge, and this is only optional as there are plenty of free ones to enter.

So far I am enjoying this site, and I shall keep you informed, with payment proof where possible, of my earnings.

Money: Paid in US dollars, you can cash out at $15 and I have reached over $23 in a few weeks. $10 of this has come from being top of the leaderboard and the rest in hidden cash. Payment requests need to be made and then you are paid monthly. I am due to receive my first $15 this month, so I shall review this as and when I get. Paid into paypal, and maybe other options too, but I have yet to find these out.

Referrals: You can refer friends to the site, by sending them an invite directly to their email. This means having to collect in emails of those interested to send to, but worthwhile as for every person that signs up you receive points and a bit of cash.
(If you are interested in joining than send me a message or email me at evefasham@hotmail.com so I can send you an invite) Alternatively you can sign up by clicking the link above, but then you won't be my referral.

Top tips:
  • If aiming for as much of the hidden money as possible then go in daily, and check each vote so you don't miss any daily ones. These are often under sport, if you click that category, but not always.
  • Enter a message where possible under a vote to earn extra points.
  • If going in for the daily leaderboard, then don't do anything for a few days to a week to give rounds a chance to finish and open up lots of the competitions for you to enter. There won't be enough otherwise.
  • A good mix of daily use and the odd blitz of the site to aim for the daily prize, plus entering messages will be good to get you on the way to winning the monthly prize.
  • If you are not sure about a vote, then click anyway as you have nothing to lose.
  • Remember that you are voting on which one that you think will win overall. This is not so much your personal opinion, but more a guess on what the public in general will choose. A winning vote earns extra points.
My rating 9/10

myLot

Site: myLot

Cost to join: Free

Site overview: This site is a discussion site. You get paid a bit for ALL participation to the site, including posting messages, starting discussions, replying to discussions, adding photos, blogs, and rating posts. The money is credited to your account every day for the previous day.

My review: I have been with the site for a few weeks now, and have participated most days. My post rate is at about 170 posts, and my star rating is 9. This is good as a rating of 10 is the most you can get. I have really enjoyed my time on this site and will continue being a member. I love to write, debate and discuss and so this site suits me down to the ground. I have started up many discussions which I get a little bit for, and also I earn for the responses I get to my discussions. When you first join, you are invited to add your interests, and then the site can direct you to posts you may be interested in. This said, you can reply to posts on any subject, and there are 100's of topics, each with 100's of discussions. I enjoy getting responses and reading and replying to other's posts and then I am able to choose a best response. The site has the facility to rate others comments too which in turn earns you a bit.
This site doesn't pay out a lot, but is fun, especially if you love to write, chat, and/or debate. I find that I get carried away and forget I am earning out of it. The people on there are really friendly too, and I have added some nice friends which is an added bonus.

Money: Paid in US dollars, you can cash out at $10 and I have reached over $5 already. I have arranged to be paid into paypal, but I think you can also be paid into moneybookers. The money is paid out monthly. As a new user I have yet to reach minimum payout, but read plenty of posts where others have cashed out.

Referrals: Option to get referrals to the site, which adds to the money you are earning, providing your referrals stay active.

Top tips:
  • When posting, aim to post at least 3-4 lines and make them as descriptive as possible.
  • Upload photos to topics. You need to have (I think) a minimum of 500 posts before you can upload to your own discussion.
  • Tag discussions. Your own and ones you are commenting on.
  • When starting a discussion, check in the search bar, under discussions to see if their has been something similar started recently. If there has been don't start a fresh topic, but comment on theirs instead.
  • Try not to use text or IM talk.
My rating 9/10

I shall keep you informed of my progress and if you wish to try out the site for yourself then go to: www.mylot.com?ref=eveeee

Welcome and a big thank you :)

I'd like to start with a big thank you!

Why? Because you are here and you are reading my blog. Good enough reason?

Secondly, a big WELCOME to all of you.

Thirdly, what is this blog about? Well, I think the title says it all doesn't it?

Ok, I shall explain a bit more. I love to surf the net and have been spending some time lately searching for various ways of making money, through writing sites and ptc/ppc sites. What are these? PTC sites are Pay to Click sites and PPC are Pay per Click. Same difference here, and both can earn a bit of money.

As for writing sites, I currently belong to 2 sites which I will be reviewing and these are Helium and Mylot. Both are good sites but more on them later.

My aim is to give links to sites where you can earn cash, but I will only post the links as and when I have registered myself and spent some time checking it out. I'll try to update on a fairly regular basis, giving a review of my progress from registering to my first (hopefully) pay out.

There are scam sites, as we all know, and hopefully I can highlight these for you as sites to avoid.

I am not expecting to come across any quick rich schemes here, and to be honest wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them. Also I am not intending on paying out up front for any site, unless I become an established member and feel it is worth paying a bit extra. Yet again I shall keep you posted. None of the sites are likely to make fortunes, but add a little here and there from each site, and it equals a bit of extra spending money each week.

Check the links page if you wish to have a go on any of the sites mentioned. I shall only keep links active if the site seems worth using. Any sites that are apparent scams I shall remove, to save others wasting their time.

Please note that I am only giving my personal opinions here on a site. I am not responsible for anyone posting comments about a site, and nor am I responsible for you not liking a site.

I shall aim to give a valid review to give an overview and to help you decide whether or not to try a site. As I only go for the free sites though, so to be honest what have you to lose?

Please also remember NEVER to give out your personal, financial details to a site that you do not know/trust!!

Well, I hope you'll find this site both useful and interesting.

Eve x
