Not really working here ...

Across the seven or so survey sites that I am now a member, I'm making some progress. Inboxdollars is at $17, SendEarnings is at $13, but it takes more of a committment to make any real progress. I suppose if I had the time each day for the daily surveys, it would move along faster, but my wife is not a big fan of me sitting on the computer all night doing surveys.

Ah well, I'll keep trying.

Surveys Take Time

My inbox is full of spam, as I expected -- I'm glad I setup a new email address just for this stuff. I do get a small handfull of "Paid Emails" from Inboxdollars and Sendearnings every day, worth a couple of cents each just for viewing the advertisements. Some of the spam emails are actually somewhat interesting -- they're advertisements, but they have good information about eating healthy and finding coupons.

The surveys at Inboxdollars and Sendearnings don't take too long to do, but I can only do one per day at $1.00 each. I've made about $12 on each site in the past week, so as long as they don't pull a fast one, I should be able to hit the $30 payment threshhold in about one month. Making $60 per month just for doing surveys and looking at ads isn't such a bad deal. We'll see if it works.

More to come later.

Starting the Blog

I cannot take credit for the idea behind this blog - I found http://iwanttobehomewithmykids.blogspot.com/ while surfing the web and really liked the idea. I am convinced that the plethora of websites dedicated to "earning money" by taking surveys are a hoax, but reading the blogs at this site have given me a glimmer of hope. I don't think I'll be getting rich doing the surveys, but a couple of extra dollars couldn't hurt.

I'm going to use this blog to post about my progress -- perhaps, if it does work, it will give you an idea of where to start.

My start:
I created a new email address at yahoo, jogr1980, specifically for the survey and advertising sites. I don't need to fill up my personal inbox with the abundance of spam that I'm expecting once I blast my email address across the internet.

To get a start with the surveys, I setup accounts at InboxDollars and SendEarnings, and from there I've been directed to many other sites. I'll include links to all of these sites on this blog.

Well, I'm off to do more surveys.
