Blogging for Cash

Uhmm... What?

BLOG = a Web site containing the writer's or group of writers' own experiences, observations, opinions, etc., and often having images and links to other Web sites. - dictionary.com

Essentially by writing about topics that interest you, and others, and having this posted online, you can earn a moderate income.  As with anything you will get paid based on what you put into the process.  All experts will agree that you shouldn't expect any signifficant $$ untill you have a decent product, and a solid fan base.

How much will I make?

The most common way to earn money from blogging is by hosting advertisements.  These ads do not hold a static formula to calculate the income they will produce.  Your income is based on how many people click on your ads.  This is of course impossible to predict!  For example, you may have 20 persons visit your blog and everyone of them decides to click on your ad.  On the other hand, you could have 2,000 persons visit and only 10 click the ad.  Of course, common sense will tell you that the more people that visit your site = MORE clicks, which naturally leads to... yep you guessed it... MORE $$

Getting Started

The great thing with blogging is there is not start-up costs or initial risks involved.  If you have some free time in front of a computer you can start making posts.  You can use your gmail account and get registered with Blogger Start Today! 

cash back research

Will they really pay me??

Yes. I became a member of this site from a google search: "How to make cash online" displayed an ad for cash back research and I joined the site.  Before I explain any of the details as to how, here is a picture so you can be confident of payment.

How Long??

Became a member on July 4th, 2012 and received payment by July 23rd 2012.  After requesting my $20 payout it took just over 7 days for it to show up on paypal.

Using the Site.

Just by joining this site you already make $5.  You can quickly get $3 by filling out profile information. The next $10 is all about survey panels. Join 12.  You may find that some panels you join won't be credited.  If this is the case you need to contact help .  I had this problem with a few surveys, and so help asked for evidence.  I took screen shots of my confirmation e-mails from several of their panels.  They quickly credited me for these, upgrading me to gold member status. 

The money will not continue to flow in so fast as the first $18.  To get up to $20 you have to either fill out a few surveys 60 cents per, which take 20-30 minutes.  The alternative is to just log into your account everyday.  Each day your log-in you will be credited 5 cents.  Using surveys and logging in you can get to your first payout without much effort.

Who doesn't need an extra $20!?!

Surveys for cash!

 Can I really make money on surveys??

Yes. Don't quit your job anything, but it is possible to make money online by taking surveys and completing tasks online.

I have become a member of several of these sites beginning on July 4th, and have made close to $100 at this point.  With having full-time obligations ,I am only investing a few hours here and there.  I've noticed that they pull you in by having attractive offers that can easily make you $$ without much effort.  After you have completed these, the earnings seem to trail off.

Which websites work??

So far I have made $60.23 from SendEarnings mostly by completing cash offers.  This means that you become a trial member to companies like netflix, and blockbuster, etc.  Some of these will have a small fee of $1-$3, but you will profit from the cash awarded.

Cashbackresearch has already sent me a $20 payment via Paypal.  They don't really have many options to continue making money, but have some easy start up offers that can earn you $20 in an hour of concentrated effort.

Although I started it last, InboxDollars actually gives you the best options.  I have been referring all my friends to this website.  They seem to give the most offers to continue making cash, and quickly reward your account after completing tasks.  So far I have earned about $15 through their website, which is not enough to receive a pay-out.

I read a review that placed globaltestmarket as the premiere survey site, and I have to strongly disagree.  They use a system awarding points instead of dollar amounts.  You can still get a cash payout, but have to do a little math to figure out which surveys are worthwhile.  They don't have any nice bonuses for starting up, but offer a consistent reward per survey completed.  The major downfall for me has been not qualifying for any of the surveys I attempt to enter.

Its free.  Give it a try.  Have fun!
