December Totals, Forgot November Too

Another month has passed, and its already time to bring up earnings. Funny thing about having posts sitting in drafts, and forgetting about them. I found that I’ve had like 5 posts carried over from my Blogger blog, that made it into this Wordpress one in draft form. Among them the November post, which I had apparently forgotten to post as well. So I’ll post both months earnings here.

Does Starting Out Small Mean You’ll Never Grow to be Great?


I was surfing the net, and stumbled across this page on Doshdosh about a CashCrate Review. With the check Maki got a whopping $5.28(picture is still hosted on a free image server). This got me thinking that everyone who starts out needs to start from somewhere. Back in 2006, it seems like Maki was doing quite a bit of reviews on Get-Paid-To websites, until moving onto the internet marketing niche which seems to be more of the focus nowadays.

What’s the point of this post, your probably asking. I was just looking for a little bit of inspiration I guess. Knowing that another person who is currently successful in gathering a large audience also started out by doing programs like CashCrate is always enlightening. Especially if the first CashCrate check I got was bigger. It just means that I need to work harder, try out more programs, and find new things to do.

Its also good to know that people can change around or maybe change the focus of what their blog’s talk about over the course of time. Its nice to know that blogs or the topic of blogs can evolve at the same time that the writer grows and matures. Sometimes for worse, but most of the time for the better. Who knows what I’ll be writing about a year from today. Will I still be logged into World of Warcraft making gold to sell? Will my blog still be about me making money online?

Are you a blogger that is just starting out? What plans do you have a year from now? What inspires you or what makes you keep going?

My CashCrate Check Arrived – And My Camera Broke

It seems like lately every time I have good news, I also have bad news to share. I should rename my blog the yin/yang effect or something. Anyways my first check from CashCrate has just arrived so I WAS going to take a picture of it. Until I found out that my camera no longer works. So I’m sending a picture that I took from my camera phone, which btw is also on its last leg.

I’ll just be borrowing the camera from work to take a full size picture of the check next time. The total check amount was for 20.25, which was about the same as the total on my September Earnings. I guess this will going towards my buying another @%!% camera fund. Anyways if your new to CashCrate, you can check out my other CashCrate review posts.

Cashcrate Revisited – Getting Paid Again

About a month ago I wrote up a review on CashCrate, and followed it up with a payout report a few days later. Well I’m pleased to announce that I was finally able to reach payout again this month. Due to soo many people going on vacation at my full time job, I’ve had to scale back the time for doing alot of these offers so when CashCrate sends me a check next month it won’t be as large. This month will only be about $10.60 so far, bring my CashCrate total to $30.65 so far.

I have to be honest though I wasn’t intending on completing any offers this month due to work load, but as I had received an e-mail from CashCrate notifying me that one of my referrals had reached payout. Thus entitling me to a $3.00 bonus, along with earning 20% of their earnings. So when I logged into my account I already had $5.00+ sitting there without me doing a thing($3.00 bonus + 20% of $10 = $5.00). Well this made it really easy to do a few offers to get that extra $5.00, and whammo here I am with another payout post.

How does CashCrate’s referrals work?
The program has a 2 tier approach meaning you can refer/invite someone, and if your referral receives a referral of their own, you still get paid.

How much do I get paid for each referral?
You earn an additional 20% off of each of your referral’s non-pending earnings.
You also receive an additional 10% of your second level referral’s earnings as well.
You receive $3.00 when your referral reaches $10 (payout).

Is there a limit to referrals?
No, I’ve seen people who report to make over $1000/month from Cashcrate with referrals alone. I unfortunately am not one of those yet. (I can be optimistic right?)

Alright I’ve joined Cashcrate, how can I better chances of offers going through?
If you’ve already joined CashCrate, and you’re looking for good tips on how to get offers to go through I recommend reading Amy Bass’s writeup here. In addition to the tips she posted, I strongly recommend going to the CashCrate forum where other members post about which offers confirmed for earnings. You have a much better chance of earning money quickly if you watch this thread, and look for those exact offers by name.

Note: Now being realistic here, while I enjoy making money online. I don’t want to make money as a result of someone else’s hardship. (this is one reason why you don’t see me pushing Survey Scout or similar programs on my blog). While reading through the CashCrate forums there are many people who complain of getting billed for Trial Offers. This is why I don’t recommend doing the trial offers or products on Cashcrate, unless you fully read the terms & conditions of each offer carefully. For example one of their offers requires a cell phone number that you need to reply back with a pin to activate. If you don’t read the offer carefully a month later you will get billed for a $10 subscription later on if you don’t cancel it. Please be careful when signing up for each of the offers. I personally stick with the 100% free offers which only send spam e-mail to my newly created free Hotmail accounts.

My thanks goes out to the readers who signed up under me, and made money online for both of us! Good Luck & Happy earnings to everyone! If you’re interested in signing up for a free CashCrate account join by clicking on the banner below.

September Totals – 1 Month Anniversary – Link Lovin

I’m a few days behind, but Money News – My Financial History just hit one months old. While I didn’t do as well as I’d hope, I did learn a lot of new things, and I am finding quite a bit of interesting things to read.

September Totals: $23.65

Also some thanks to Shai for motivation since I started the Whypark site to Just make money online. Now that I’ve tried that I’ll try some other projects. I happened to stumble upon Mike’s Money Making Mission, which eventually add my stuff to Zimbio to try as well as add a bunch of new blog directories for some traffic. I hope to make enough money to atleast be able to work from home like Amy eventually.

My goals for October? Well if the WoW gold market doesn’t go back up then I’ll try to hit 20k gold again by the end of October (approximately worth $1-1.5k). I’m about halfway there, and should make 10k gold sometime this week from just playing less than an hour a day.
