// ABOUT THIS BLOG...

This blog's about stuff I'm trying out online in my attempt to supplement my income. /// The blog's name is really just a playful dig at the plethora of ways to (apparently) make money online. If you're gonna get paid to read an email, fill out a survey, write a post, brush your teeth, sit down, stand up, well, why not get paid to fart? I tell ya, I'd be a celebrity in my own right if the latter were true! A lady I certainly am not. ;-)//

It's all downhill from here :-)

I've never won that much on Swagbucks before! Had to blink twice.

Super chuffed.



Never heard of Swagbucks.com? Weeell...

- it's a Google-powered search engine

- when you use the search engine, you sometimes win what they call 'Swagbucks'

- 'swagbucks' can be exchanged for gift cards, products and money (700 Swagbucks equals $5 Paypal cash)

- there are several other ways to gain swagbucks: complete offers, do surveys, answer a daily poll, hunt for 'swagcodes', etc.



I am a mango - a mango that goes 'oh'...

I am a woman who's updated her blog 2 days in a row. Oh.

I am a hungry mango woman blogger who reeeeally doesn't fancy having tuna pasta for lunch.

Luke Skywalker, I am your mother. Now, go get mama some sushi and a diet Coke, sugar.



but I digress... (I am - therefore, I digress. Becauze I am zee sexzee digress chick. Beautifully digressologically unsound ...which means I taste better. Scienterrifically proven.)


Ahem.

Wooohooo, I've Just Won Another £15.00 on Triviala.com!

(Read my review about Triviala: HERE)

I'm not usually one to win stuff. I hardly do the lottery and I don't really do competitions.

But Triviala's starting to prove me wrong! I won £15 on there last month and now another £15?

That'll make it a total £60 won so far this year (£15 x 4 wins).


Proof of payment: exhibits 1, 2 and 3, your honour...

June 2010: Online Earnings...

(img credit: Zaggy J.)
June's seen a marked improvement in my earnings. Made $492.96; about $350 more than I did in May. Yay!

I was hoping to hit the $500 mark as I was waiting on a couple of payments, but that didn't happen. Got them eventually, so that goes into my July kitty.


MY BREAKDOWNEY'OH FOR JUNEY'OH:
(any figures in pounds means I was originally paid in that currency)

- Writing: $369.63 (private client - $346.56; Work-Online - $16.16 (£11.61); forum posting - $6.91/ **re: Work-Online - I'd had about £8 sitting there for a good while. Went back & wrote enough to reach the £10 min payout.)

- Advertising: $67.32 (I can't believe it, but I was approached to sell some advertising on one of my blogs. Schweet!)

- Getaslogan: $23.62 (You suggest a slogan. If yours gets selected, you get paid $25 for it (it's now $15). One of mine got chosen! /// Two levels: basic & premium. If you progress to the premium level, you get paid more. I got paid at the basic level.)

- Proofreading: $11.02 (private work)

- CloudCrowd: $8.70 (You get paid to complete a variety of tasks including editing, translating, reviewing & data entry. Facebook-based. Have to take a test to do most of the tasks.)

- Swagbucks (paid to search) - $5.00 (read review)

- Pinecone Research (survey site): $4.46 (£3.00) (to read more about my survey meanderings, visit my survey blog)

- ebay: $2.93 (£1.96) (I've started decluttering. My flat could do with the detox.)

- QuickRewards Network (GPT site) - $0.28 (read review)


TOTAL: $492.96




Hey, July - How Are Ya?

Over the past couple of days, I've been flipping this round in my head:

$1000 this month, $1000 this month, $1000 this month...

It's been a statement as well as a question. A mixture of confidence, curiosity & excitement on the one hand --- and "who're you kidding?" & "you sure you wanna aim that high? In public, too, fool?" on the other.


But, what the hell, I'm gonna shoot for it, dammit.

Making $1000 doesn't seem as important as the EFFORT to TRY and do it.

So, I'm gonna give it a shot :-)




WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS/GOALS FOR THIS MONTH?
