What Is My Twitter Account Worth?



$2,754

Created by WhatsMyTwitterAccountWorth.com

Oh, the different kinds of things that you can find out from Twitter! I saw someone tweeting about how much their Twitter account was worth so I decided to see what my Twitter account was worth.



As you can see from the picture above my Twitter account is really worth something!



That's good news as far as my Twitter Klout and Twitter worth goes...............



This is also good news because it will show potential advertisers that my Twitter account is worth something and it might benefit them to advertise with me.



Also too, since I belong to Sponsored Tweets, this will show other advertisers as well that I have a high Klout score and a high Twitter worth!

Neobux - A Review!




Personally I am not a member of Neobux yet but I did come across this review.

Just in case you are interested you can read a review of the Neobux program and decide for yourself whether or not you are interested in joining this program that pays you for reading online advertisements.

Short Tasks.com - A Review!



I found a review of Short Tasks.com. I found it quite interesting and as I am a member of this site I found that I pretty much agreed with this review.

Short Task.com is a site where you can perform tasks like viewing someone else's blog or answer a few website questions and then you will get paid for the task(s) that you have done.

Now as I stated above I am a member of this site but so far I haven't earned anything.

One of the things that really bothers me about the "tasks" is that the pay is so very small! Very rarely will you find a task that is paying $1 or more. Most of them are offering payment of less than 50 cents. But it is interesting to see how much people are willing to pay for tasks - which I think is quite small!

I received a $50 payment from a blog sponsor and that is much more lucrative than the payment offerings of Short Task.com.

However I'll let you be the judge for yourself. You can read the review by clicking here.

"Get A Free Dell Laptop"



I got this email saying that I could get a free dell laptop if I simply filled out a survey.

I got curious about this figuring that this sounded too good to be true! I went to the website and - of course - they ask you for your general contact information like your name, address and phone number. But where it really bothered me was when the site asked for my social security number! That was a definite "No - No as far as I was concerned.

I investigated a little further and there is indeed a survey, several in fact that you are required to fill out. They ask you basic questions like what kinds of things are you interested in, are you having any debt or credit card problems, are you having problems paying your mortage, etc..... And depending on how you fill out your survey they will even ask you if you are interested in finding out more information about student loans and government grants!

So after I filled out about 4 or 5 different surveys the next screen said that I would be eligible to win a free dell laptop if I simply completed 2 of the offers that they had listed. The only problem with these "offers was that you were required to give credit card information - even for the supposedly free offers!

So that was where I stopped! I didn't want to take part in that "free offer".

MySurvey.com - My Report So Far.....



MySurvey.com is just that - a site where you take surveys. For this particular survey site you earn points which then can be redeemed as cash.

According to their site:

"you take surveys and earn "rewards" - need at least 1000 points to redeem rewards for cash - every 1000 points = $10"

I joined this survey site last month so so far I have only accumulated a couple of hundred points so far and I'll need to get at least 1000 survey points before I can redeem them for cash.

One the down side is that this survey site only pays by regular check. So that means you can only get paid by regular check. (They don't have the option so that you could get paid by Paypal.)

Here is another excerpt from their survey site:

"Redeem Points for cash, prizes or charity donations with just a few simple clicks"

One interesting thing about this survey site is that they also have a blog where you can leave comments. It's from reading the comments that I found out that this particular survey site has been around for quite some time and has only been online for a few years. According to some of the comments there seem to be quite a few people that are happy with this survey site.

They also have an affiliate program where you can also get paid for referring other people to the program. However with their affiliate program you have to be able to refer at least 10 people per month.

If you are interested in joining their affiliate program then you can click here for more information.

So far my opinion of this survey site isn't too good. It may be different for you however. It seems that there are a lot of surveys to be taken just to be able to get to the minimum amount of survey points needed to even get paid.

I also don't like the fact that for their affiliate program you have to be able to refer at least 10 people per month. At least with some of the other survey sites that I belong to there isn't a minimum amount of referrals that you have to maintain.

But I'll keep with it and see how it goes.

I Joined Another Paid Survey-Like Site!



I saw this site recommended from someone else's blog. It got high reviews so I decided to join this site as well. I found out some interesting information about how you go about joining this particular survey site.

While signing up for it doesn't seem to be too difficult, in order to qualify and join the program you have to first click on one of their offers. Now this shouldn't sound so bad but so far all of these offers require you to either order something or give them your credit card number! It also seems that more than a few of these offers are for video clubs - sort of comparable to places like Netflix and the like. There was even an offer to join one of Yahoo's sites but even for that free membership you have to give them a valid credit card number. Some of the offers even included signing up for getting a new credit card! Other offers include signing up for magazine and newspaper subscriptions.

The bottom line is that this particular site does not look too appealing! And now I'm still wondering if it is all worth it?

I'm Really Getting Disallusioned With These "Paid" Sites!



Maybe its just me but I'm getting the feeling that these paid for survey sites are just not what they are all cracked up to be!

But - hey - like I said - maybe its just me!

I'm currently going through some of my "paid for reading email" sites and it just seems like one has to go through so much just to earn a couple of cents for reading emails.

The latest email that I am reading is an advertisement for government auctions. Now as someone that does grant research, I know that there are government auctions where one can purchase properties at lesser price. And with the way that the economy is now there are even more houses for sale because of foreclosures and tax auctions and the like.

The email I'm reading now is for a company that seems to sell listings for properties at government auctions. While you should be able to find this information both online and offline for yourself, this company seems to have found a way to make it easier for you to get a listing of properties being offered for sale at government auctions.

So I read this piece of email and go to their website and I earn a few cents for doing so. Unfortunately what this company does not know is that I do grant research and I already know where to find this kind of information for myself but that doesn't mean that everybody who chooses to read their email / advertisement is in the same kind of business and I'm assuming that they are hoping to get more clients this way.

I guess there are more worse things that you could do with your time to earn money online and I still haven't made a final decision as to whether or not I still like going through this kind of effort to make a few cents online. So I'm still keeping an open mind about it.

Maybe It's Just Me But......



a lot of these sites are really paying peanuts! At least in my opinion!

Maybe its because I am new to this "paid survey" thing!

I just found another site that offers to pay people for doing things like writing blog post articles, commenting on articles and even writing articles on different forums. It seemed like an interesting concept at first but when I looked more closer these people that were offering the work were paying something like 8 cents per successful written article, etc.....I really think that that is kind of cheap but I also know that they may find people desperate enough to want to make money online that they will settle for whatever pay is offered them - even if it is only a few cents!

I'm still looking at other sites that say they can help people make money. I'm looking at them one by one so that I can be sure about them before I post about them here.

Honestly I think that there has just got to be a better way to earn money online that having to settle for a few pennies. Although I will admit that sometime the Adsense ads that appear only pay a few cents per ad but those few cents do add up to something significant - so maybe the same thing is true for these kinds of sites that oofer people ways to be able to make money online!

I still go by the advice that you will earn more money doing something you love, which is what I talk about in my Working From Home Blog, but I'm still curious to find out more about other ways that people are able to earn money online and while working at home.
