    Just got a super easy 241 coins by carrying out the Tap Quick Survey offer on Matomy. Pending, but registered immediately.

    Took about 3-4mins to answer a couple of questions, then picked a little 3min survey, which also gave the option to sign up to an online investments panel for a few weeks with Am@zon gift voucher rewards.

    Thanks for that i will have a look :)

    I'm curious as to how many people here may have just invested some cash (big or small) to get of the starting blocks.

    Anyone willing to tell? I know some put a little in from other online earnings, which is really all I'm considering too. Just wondering if its the done thing and if people think its worth it. How likely are you to lose your stake of say £5-10?

    I'm getting a few offers here and there but actual earnings wise, I've only managed $0.16 after a week. Is that normal?!?! :rotfl:

    I started with nothing - it was a challenge i set myself to see if i could actually do that or not. I only did the clicks and you will read about it in my blog posts no doubt, but it took me months to get to $3 which was my target to start renting. I have the patience of a saint lol!

    To boost your balance at the start it does take the mini jobs i think, or to add a few $$ yourself. I don't think there is much risk of loosing any deposit really unless you just don't continue or spend it all recycling far too soon...

    Unlike fairyclicks, I have no patience and paid to rent 15 referrals a day after joining. I had read so much info that I wanted to see it in practice.

    I also paid for the Golden membership.

    All funds came from other online earning activities.

  • After all our chat about Ultimate.....I thought this post from the forum on neo might be useful to some.:...........




    This was my experience as well. I also had a smaller number of RR's (500) when I upgraded but quickly bought up over 2000, where I also found "chances to be in loss are very very limited" especially when you are renewing for 240 days.

    The basic skill for an Ultimate member to be successful here is managing cash flow. You need to know what your daily costs are and come up with a plan to meet those costs efficiently while realistically leaving yourself a chance for daily profit. It isn't too hard, fortunately. What I did was figured out my daily expenses and place money each day to meet those expenses in my rental and golden pack balances, though it is worth noting you can't pay for a Golden membership with money in the rental or GP balances. So if you are saving up for a Golden membership, leave the money for that in the main balance. One can leave all of the money in the main balance though. I find the rental balance is a convenient though, and I won't be tempted to use my RR renewal money, down the road, for an ill-advised cash out.

    I won't run through all the numbers, but I would highly encourage you to poke around and see for yourself what things cost and you'll be able to see how many RR's you need to make it happen with a few calculations. Looking at other Ultimate user averages in the forums is a good starting point for doing some calculations.

    A couple of numbers that it will be useful to know:

    Daily Cost of second-year Ultimate renewal ($800) and Golden renewal ($90) = $2.44 per day

    Renew one RR for 240 days as Ultimate member with >1750 RR's = $1.34

    With these two numbers you should be able to make some projections on an account with X number of RR's.

    Whether or not you can buy an Ultimate membership after two years without investment depends on how much work you can do with the various opportunities on here. To do so would cost a little more than $1.34 per day over two years. If you can make that much, then yes, you could do so even without taking advantage of the various membership discounts that often fall on various holidays during the year. Note that you can win a golden membership in adprize if you are lucky, and 30,000 points can be used to buy golden, so you can reduce your costs that way.

    Good luck.

    Very interesting lovely lady, Thanks for that. Someone doing the simplest of calculations like that for you really helps at my stage. It turns an elephant into bite size chunks and saves me precious time, of which I don't have a lot of right now :D

    Good find :beer:

    Fairy - your blog is also incredibly helpful and nothing short of inspiring. I'd recommend it to anyone :A
