What Has Worked For You?

ted24

just registered on forum but have been reading for a few weeks.

change in my own financial circumstances has meant i've given Swagbucks, inboxpounds, globaltestmarket, giftHulk, zoomucks, irazoo, toluna, pinecone research and few others a go.

Inboxpounds I like - its slow but you could probably get the £20 for cashout within 2 months just by doing searches and watching the videos.

Globaltestmarket is one I've had most success with (havent received payment yet though). I started on december 1st and got the 1000 points fairly quickly. Think that pays equvalent of $50.

Swagbucks - started on december 1st and passed the daily target every day until my internet router packed in just before christmas. Its back up and running now, will pass 5000 point mark today. My hope is to withdraw £100 from that.

Gifthulk, zoombucks and irazoo are all ok. I'm only taking a few points each day on all of the above so its slow but will get there eventually.

Toluna I started doing at same time as Global Test Market but the points haven't credited for some really long surveys (still say pending) so have stopped doing any more with them until that gets resolved.

Pinecone research I've had 4 or 5 £3 food vouchers sent out - didnt realise until few days ago that Paypal was an option! They paid for 4 or 5 days lunches while working though :cool:

Opinion outpost - I've had a paypal for £2.75 from them for a few surveys. Easily done but they dont seem to have many surveys.

Thank you GB

Thats a good idea providing a review - I guess more people are willing to purchase because of that.

I'll have a look at Creastespace - thanks

Affiliate marketing works by paying you a commission each time a visitor referred from your site makes a purchase (or in some cases just clicks on a link - although this is less common).

The actual process can range from a simple banner on a blog to mini-sites designed to advertise a particular product,category or merchant.

The one guiding rule is making the adverts relevant to the content of the blog/site.

I've found that very few surfers click on banners any more, so I concentrate on content rich sites with product reviews and links to sites where visitors can purchase the product.

There are individual merchants running their own affiliate programs (such as Amazon), but most work through affiliate networks such as TradeDoubler, PaidOnResults and Commission Junction.

Regarding the Freelancing, I'm signed up with Freelancer.com and Elance. You need to be careful at first as there are a number of fake projects posted such as scammers looking for people to sell on eBay for them, but you can soon identify them. Also, you need to remember that you are competing with freelancers from places like India, who can afford to work for a couple of dollars an hour - so don't expect to immediately earn mega bucks - you need to gain a reputation.

Createspace is definitely a very easy and cheap way to self-publish. The provide a Word template for formatting your book, which you then save as a PDF and upload. You can then use their cover designer to design your cover (very easy - no technical skills required). As they're also a part of Amazon, they also make it very easy for you to generate your book as a Kindle ebook as well. It took me about 3/4 of an hour to publish my book in physical and eBook form and both versions were listed in Amazon within a couple of days (eBook almost immediately)[/QUOTE]

Do Inboxpounds, Swagbucks and Globaltestmarket all pay out cash for work complete? Finally does cash have to be spent on these sites first?

How did you keep this going, I made £300+ from Matched Betting but the offers seemed to dry up.

- If you add the toolbar, thats 1 guaranteed SB per day.
- Daily poll = 1SB
- Click on the NOSO thing and click the arrow button few times. Gives you 2SB
- Go into games, submit your score 10 times and you get 10 SB overall.
- use the search bar instead of Google. highest i've had is 59SB for 1 search (usually more like 7/8/9 though)
- tasks section I'm getting hang of now. it's really boring to be honest. If your online at midnight you get some easy ones for 4SB each.
- rest is between the different types of surveys, SBTV and the videos you can watch on main page/in special offers.

sorry if I'm stating obvious. I picked up this from these forums. the swagbucks 2013 thread gives good tips.
