So I just got my 2nd NeoBux payment for about 3$. This leaves me feeling pretty happy and I can now cover my referals without using my own cash. I tried an ad on
ClixSense and it didn't really work out. So I lost 2$ in clicks there, but you live and learn I guess. Still hopefully I'll get enough cash from SwagBucks to eventually get a gold here soon so I can start making some real money. Anyway, here is my payment proof...

Been forever since trying to post money making blog posts online. This most due to the fact that I tried to start making it else where aka working. Now while I will say that it is not my dream job, working in the work force generally does make more than you will get online. What is nice though is that I can still earn prizes with Swagbucks .

A little while back they bumped up the amount you could earn. Where as stuff used to be running at 1 SB you now get 10. I do believe that they increased all the prices to compensate, however it is easier in my opinion to earn especially if you have the toolbar installed. Still no big money, but I got 2 PayPal gift certificates for 5$ each. I'll post a photo when they get here in the mail. Anyways, give Swagbucks a try. It is worth it.

So earlier this week I went ahead and redeemed a song on SwagBucks. The song is called Floating Down the River Jason Damato, and while it is a bit on the slow side of things it is a pretty descent song. The best part was that I got it for one swag buck, which I thought was really nice.

But yeah, for all you skeptics out there the service does work and I recommend it. So go try it out.

As you all know I posted up a new site that I found 2 or 3 weeks ago called SwagBucks. Since then I have been using the service, and would like to give you a review of it along with a new site I have been using called CashCrate.




SwagBucks
As I said before this is a site where where they pay you when you search. Now its not real money, but they give you what is called 'SwagBucks' and you can use those to snag merchandise off their site.

Ways to earn
Now searching is not the only that you can generate 'Bucks.' You can add them on Twitter, follow their blog/facebook, or you can send in your old cell phones/mp3 players. Also you get credit for referrals' first 100 bucks, and for those of you that follow under my twitter I'll give you the code when I get so we can all share the 'swag love.'

My Overall Opinion
I like it a lot. The site seems pretty good, and I have already earned '25 Bucks.' The search is not as great Google, but it works fairly well. I have yet to cash out yet as I am saving for a prize worth having but I'm not worried as searching is something that I do everyday. So all in all I recommend it from what I have seen, and will give you all a bigger update when I get my first payment.



CashCrate
I really like the idea of this site. Basically you fill out surveys, and offers to earn both cash and points. The points can be cashed in for prizes, and the cash can be redeemed after you reach a $20 minimum cash out.

How Much I Make Per Day
I started out trying to work up to $4.00 a day, but that didn't work after I ran into some problems with my family firewall. You can make a whole lot depending on the amount of referrals you have. Realistically though, it's up to you. You can make $20 or $0.20 as there is close to a hundred offers everyday.

Overall
It's a good site. It is built well and has a good feel to it. It can get tedious sometime as there are pending offers that I have had for a while that have yet to go through as some companies are stupid, but other than that I see no problems. I would have gotten a check but because I only signed up on the 23rd I wasn't able hit the the cash out. But I say Try Out CashCrate.

Oh and here is my totals on Money earned:
PTC Sites-- $0.26
Adgitize--- $0.05
Adsense---- $0.50
CashCrate-- $0.25
Triond/AC-- $1.01
Surf/Hits-- $0.10
Surveys---- $10.00 (got a gift card for StarBucks in the mail.)

Month of March Total $79.9ish

Adding
While looking through other people's money blog I realize that they displaying how much they are making somewhere on their page that I don't have one. So today I spent a good 20min. trying to add one to the page.

Also I want to offer up some advertising spots to anyone that wants it, which is why I'm going to be installing some Performance Ad Widgets at 50cents a week probably along the top of the 125x125 ads I already have up. In addition to all of this I am adding a Followers Widget for all of you that want a little extra publicity.

Removing
I want to get rid of most of the banners at the top of the page, they seem to just get in the way and I don't want you all to have to look them so I'm moving them to a different location and installing AdSense instead.



Since tomorrow is the 31 I will be linking my top droppers if all goes well. I am busy, but I think I will be able to take advantage of this. As for my next really blog entry I plan to give a more in depth review of SwagBucks and CashCrate (the two sites I most recently joined.

So I found this while browsing a few other blogs on EC. The premise is simple, you search the Internet and they pay you with SwagBucks. These bucks can then be traded in for a variety of different gift cards, toys, books, and other accessories on sites around the web.

Now how does this rate to Google?
Well truth be told, the skin is not as nice, and the results are not always as accurate as Google's search engines, however, the idea of earning a few dollars just for browsing the interest sounds good to me.

Other Benefits?
Well they do allow you to "go green," as they have a spot that lets you earn bucks for merely sending in your used cell phone. Also, they give you all the bucks that your Refs earn too, which means the more you refer, the more you can make. In addition to this, they also have prizes for those that find the code on their Facebook page, and redeem it. And lastly, they have have a store that you can visit that lets you earn One SB everytime you spend 5$ in one of their partner's stores!

Bottom Line?
It is still pretty early for me to tell, but the users seem pretty happy with the site. I've used it to do a little browsing and now have 9 bucks total. I would definitely recommend testing it out, as it seems pretty sweet. As for the test well, I'll let you know how it works for me.

EC Shout Out
Also really quick, I just wanted to about Entrecard for a moment. As all you bloggers that use the service know, they are now allowing us to cash our points in for actual money. I see many people commenting and talking about how bummed they are, but the truth is, I don't see what the big deal is!

OK, so you don't want to get filled up with ads, I understand that, and for those of us over at Today.com, we have to be worried that we won't get anymore readers, but look at it from EC's point of view...They need to generate more cash income for their site as I personally don't think they are earning enough. The only problem that I have with this whole scheme is the cost of the points. I know they haven't announced is yet, but I would like to get a decent amount for my points, and I have a feeling that I might get very little.

O well, money is money, and I will make sure that all that I get is put to good use. I thank EC for this opportunity as it will hopefully prove fruitful.
