Hideout tv was too good to be

This month has been like it was previously a month. Haven't been doing that much about writing in here, and in a couple of other blogs that I have. The day job has been exhausting and I really spaced out my four weeks of vacation too wide. Now most blame I give to my employer as there was none summer help requited, whole come wide policy, as the living cost has risen for everyone and people are looking much closer where they are spending their hard earned money. Top of that there were also a few changes in a working role in our location and I was needed much more than usually to be there more than, so I worked most of the summer time overtime. Well, for my current role and agreement. So, when I finally get time off I have been quite literally off grid. This was my last week of summer vacation.

And when I got "back in the business", I noticed that how my income from Hideout.tv has dropped significantly. First I was that it was just because it was still summer and such that the ad serving hasn't picked up, then I checked my email and sure enough:

So, it has come to an end. 

Okay, I still have my Loot.tv, but it has the same principal. Pay you to watch and some of the ad money for themselves. How long can that survive?

New Passive Income Alternative

So, I have been seeing that passive income from Hideout.tv has been a bit in decline.  I get something like 200 points per day. Which is roughly $0.25 per day. 

I stumble on this Loot.tv which is basically the same, without referral program. 

Well, that ain't as good as Hideout.tv, but this rack them up pretty much better.

Here is for comparison Hideout.tv with similar points conversion:

The struggle is real for Hideout.tv since I rarely get to that high at the moment, and with Loot.tv I can easily get beyond 200 points. And it is "less consuming" for the computer too. 

With Hideout.tv I have to check from time to time, is it running or not and start it again. I haven't been so much worried about Loot.tv, although it announces from time to time to take a break from watching and by doing so, you gain more points when you get back again.

For now I am doing both, since I have the possibility to run both at the same, two different computer and also different OS. 

Dead calm

 Completely still with no waves. You could say that about Ysense right now.

Okay, I haven't been there so much lately, but when I have been, all I got was screened out. Or just something had gone wrong.

Although I have been quite active in there, but sometimes it just is that you are not in their focus group.

Oh, and I have found a new alternative to hideout.tv. I'll talk about it later when I am familiar with it.

And of course my Timebucks keeps giving rewards.

Ysense finally

 Well, the Ysense which has been my "main bread" has come to be just one of the gang. It has been quite slow for a while now and I did manage to get that $10 cash out 

I posted a while ago that I have managed to cash out $20 per month, but now that I checked my past 60 days and I have managed to cash out $10 per month. 

 I admit that I have been more focused on my Timebucks and Hideout.tv connections, since those together pay me weekly $15+ 

And while speaking about neglecting my Finnish speaking sites Suomitutka and Kuluttajapaneeli has been as quiet as usual. Although Kuluttajapaneeni has often this kind of page when you visit it:

But I didn't get even single one to do. As you can see my last reward was a month ago! 

Okay, it was a pretty good one, but still. 

Hideout.tv kicks payments

 So, I use Hideout.tv as my passive income, since I don't really have to do anything for it. Just occasionally check that it's still rolling and cash out rewards daily. 

I mean C'mon! $2,45 from 1 day "watching" Hideout.tv's channel. Also I while I am have been doing that, with Timebucks, I got my cash out on the Thursday. 

And I as I have been posting few weeks now, I get steady roll...

That's a lot, with a doing "nothing".

Best part it that after that cut of date, when the payment come to my Skill account, I already had

In my Timebucks account. So, this is the easiest way to make money online. 

Okay, I have been doing this past year or so, so I don't know is it that I have been doing this for this long, or is this getting popular. And there lies a problem. If people are doing this more and more, would that affect earnings?

I don't really know, but I am on a roll, so hop on the train and sign up from here!

May the June be great

...as the May was. I made that fourth payment, kind of, in Timebucks. Since the cut off date is always an end of Tuesday and the payments are finalized on the Wednesday and payments happen on the Thursdays. 

Okay, you can argue about that first payment of the May being cut off on the 4th day, does it really count as made in the May?

Well, three days of that is on the May. Almost half of it, is made in the May. And after the Thursdays payment I already got hefty go ahead for the next weeks payment. 

Now, that I am making a kind of steady side income from the Timebucks and Hideout.tv combo, I can start to look more into other GTP-sites. And now that I am on my summer vacation, for a whole month, I do have some free time to explore what other possible side earnings can be made with the net.

But first I take well earned vacation beers.

Timebucks and Hideout tv is the game changer

This has been a very good month for Timebucks and Hideout.tv. I managed to get third cash out in a month and most of it to Hideout.tv payments. And what a payment too!

That's $12! In a week. Practically doing nothing.

And that's also my third cash out from Timebucks in this month.

And there is a very good chance to get fourth one also. Well, not exactly since the last day of the month is on next Tuesday and the payments are sent on Thursday, which is the second day of the June, but cut off date is the last day of the May. So, all that I have accumulated by that date is paid on the next Thursday.

And about cash out, I did manage to get my cash out limit fulfilled in Ysense too, so I got $10 there too.

Overall I managed to cash out in May $54.68. 

Lucky Friday the 13th

 I got the new top earning from the Hideout.tv on the Friday 13th!

Not bad for a one days "work", huh? Okay, that was one day, so far and the average is somewhere around 50 cents. 

Also, I finally made the cash out threshold on Kuluttajapaneeli, with a 2,50€ survey. But the bad news is that I already had 9,40€ in my account and that survey pushed it beyond cash out threshold and in that site you can only cash out in even 10€. So, now I have 1,90€ sitting there. 

I know I said I am going to ditch this site, after I got the next cash out, but... do I really want to left that 1,90€ there for nothing, while I did quite a long survey and collected 2,50€.

I don't need to end it. I can just let it sit there and see if there are any surveys to made.

Timebucks daily goal list

 So, I have been doing the daily goal list on Timebucks, quite while now and I wanted to share my "work flow".

Since the "hardest" part is to make slideshows as it only allows you to do 1 in every 10 minutes, I start with that.

Most of the time I've found that it just goes back to the Timebucks, so you don't have to crawl through 7 pages of random "facts and news", which each page lasts 20 seconds. That would take 140 seconds, ie 2 minutes and 20 seconds.  But even if needed to crawl through those pages I would so Clicks side by side, since you only need to click and don't actually have to "watch" them the whole time. 

This might take quite awhile sometimes, since depends on advertisers specs, you may need to keep that ad open for 5 to 120 seconds.  And while I am doing this, I start to do tasks. Most of the time side by side too.

I have found few good tasks that you can do hourly and daily. I have added them as my favorites, so those are in the top of the list the moment I open Task-tab.

And somewhere in the middle of these I check that Slideshow task and see if the timer has gone to zero and then click it again.

While doing Clicks and Tasks I start to do Push Clicks. You need to do three Push Clicks in system notifications to have it checked in the daily goal list.

This is the easiest to do, since your computer system "stores" these notifications and you need to "watch" them for 10 seconds. I only click those that are from Timebucks itself. 

And one final task to do is complete an offer from any Offerwall. As I have mentioned many times, I use Hideout.TV for this. I have a laptop for this, and only for this task. Well, I do sometimes whole Timebucks Daily Goal List with it, but main purpose is to "watch" Hideout.TV.

I keep it running 24/7 most of the time. It needs some checking from time to time, as it Hideout.Tv is asking are you still watching or the content might now be available, so it's good to check that out once in a while.

And with that done, I check the last time the Slideshows-tab and do the last one, and 5 out of 6 tasks needed for achieving reward.

All this is done in optimal 18 minutes, depending on few tasks that might take more time. Okay, talking about cost effective, sure you can do better with some other sites, but this is basically guaranteed to get with minimal effort. Depending on how well you do with Hideout.Tv, payout is $0,25+ daily. Yes, those Clicks and Slideshows do add, but we are talking about less than $0,10.

Most of the time I do this while eating breakfast and surfing the web, so it usually takes more time to achieve Daily Goal Checklist, but what else I would do while eating breakfast?

Watching mindless short videos in TikTok? Memes?

Two thirds gone

 And I am stuck in the middle of my second $10 in Ysense. 

But then again in Timebucks I am on a roll:

Okay, I added that last payment from March there because it was just two days before month changed to the April. I have made $40 in less than 30 days! That's a new news! Partly, I have to give the credit for having a good streak on Hideout.TV

Now, I have ten days left on this month and I think I can get $50 in 30 days, from Timebucks.

Third of the month passed

 and I just got this month's first cash out from Ysense!

With this pace, I can get $30 in this month. Let's see how that is going to work out on this month. 

Have to say that there is something odd about Hideout.tv. When my main laptop for Hideout.tv was at maintenance, I used my Macbook Air and I did get around the same amount rewards per day, although that good streak was done with my Win10 laptop. While I don't know would that be possible with my Macbook Air, but that Win10 laptop (Acer) is dropping off constantly from wifi. But even with that I still get some decent amount of rewards per day. 

Maybe I should just which to my Macbook and sell this Acer laptop for few bucks. Although I have made more than what I paid for this laptop and anything that I can get is just a bonus.

Currently my Ysense lifetime earnings are: $590.04 

Timebucks lifetime earnings are: $334.39

Overall, I have made $924.43 in two and half years. I know that there are people making a whole lot more than me, but since those sites are mostly for the people in the United States of the America. But for a guy living in small and cold country in the northern Europe it's pretty good. 

Not bad, I guess?

Good Streak

 I had very good streak of rewards on Hideout.Tv, as I managed to cash out over $1 per day in four days in a row.

Okay,  I gathered 1186 Hideout points and since the conversion is ~8 hideout points per cent that  translates roughly $1.44. 

I didn't really thought about it much, since I've had had that kind of days past few time, getting over 1000 hideout points.

But when I got second time over $1 in a two days in a row, I started to notice and, while I got cash out from Timebucks last week, this seemed like there is a chance for getting a cash out in this week too.

Now, third day in a row over $1 rewards and this started to look really good, maybe a bit too good.

And I again, on the fourth day, I managed to get over $1.  But then came the sunday and I got only $0.5 out of Hideout.TV. 

That's still great, but there goes my streak, but I am just a bit over $1 shy of getting cash out in this week, which isn't that hard, since while completing daily goal checklist gets me $0.5 in two days and that means I need to get little over $0.5 from Hideout.Tv and/or other tasks from the daily goal checklist.

So, if you don't already have hideout.tv account, you should sign up right now and you can do it from here!

So it is April

 Today is 1st of the April and I managed to get that second cash out from Ysense. And I am almost half way through my first cash out for the April, as I managed to do couple surveys today that rewarded me $1,88. So this month is looking very good. Also, I managed to get $10 from Swagbucks!

My last cash out from Swagbucks was... wait a minute... how long ago? Last October.

So, that's November, December, January, February and March. Five months ago. Better than previous time, when it took eight months! 

One pro-tip for using Timebucks, is that if you use Hideout.tv and redeem that reward to Timebucks, to do one of the six daily tasks, you should redeem that as early as possible.

I have noticed that it takes sometimes quite while to get the "signal" from Hideout.tv to Timebucks and I have missed a few times daily goals checklist completion, because I redeemed the reward just before the day ends, and I got that signal from Hideout.tv on "the next day". Now on I redeem Hideout.tv first thing "in the morning". 

Also find a few tasks and save them to your favorites, that way you can see them on the top of the listing.

Sorry, no April Fools!

Helmikuu melkein paketissa

 Pari päivää kuun vaihteeseen ja hyvin on alkanut rullaamaan. 

Hideout.Tv tuotti sitten uuden ennätyksen:

Eli siis $1,08 päivässä. Keskinmääräisesti tuotto on ollut $0,42 per päivä. Timebucksiin kun tuon sitten hyvittää niin ja se sijoitetaan kryptovaluttaan jossa elätään mielenkiintoisia aikoja. Liukurimäkeä on ollut alaspäin ja taidettiin käydä XLM:n osalta pohjalukemissa sitten viime vuoden kevään huipun jälkeen.

Tosin itsellä osui nämä parit Timebucksin cashoutit siten että sain otettua kun oli käppyrä alhaalla ja nousi vähän sen jälkeen, tosin taas laski. Ja sitten taas nousi. Ja laski. Nyt tätä kirjoittaessa on maailmalla paskoja uutisia ja käppyrä pomppii miten sattuu.

Ysensessä on tässä kuussa saatu $20 cashouttia ja muutamasta taalasta jää kolmas kymppi. Tässä pitää nyt kuitenkin muistaa että kuun ensimmäin cashout johtui siitä ettei maksut Paypalliin toiminut kunnolla Ysensessä.

Tietysti kaikki on vielä mahdollista, sillä tänäänkin tuli tehtyä 4 kyselyä ja tuli tienattua:

 Tuli muuten tuolta suomitutka.fi:stakin tuloutettua:

 

Siellä on jo taas kasassa 3,3€. Kuluttajapaneeli.fi:ssa on ollut nyt pitkään hiljaista ja sinne on kerääntynyt 

6,20€ ja milloin mä sen aloitinkaan? Aivan, heinäkuussa 2021.

Niin en taida enää vaivautua katsomaankaan kunhan saan tuon seuraavan kympin kasaan. 

LONG LIVE UKRAINE!

Ja taas mennään

 Tuli sitten tuossa parit hyvät kyselyt taas Ysensessä vastaan:

Ei se määrä vaan kuinka paljon siitä saa korvausta!

Ja päätin sitten samalla että kokeillaan nytte toimiiko se maksu Paypalliin ollenkaan ja tein cashout pyynnön 9. päivä ja 

toimii kuten kuuluukin. Nytte on enää $1,89 kiinni seuraava kymppi ja jos nyt korvaukset on tätä loukkaa niin ei siinä tarvita kuin kysely ja homma on paketissa. 

Ja sitten on alkanut taas tuo Hideout.tv tuottamaan hyvää korvausta:

Ja nämä kun tilitetään tuonne Timebucksiin niin pariin kertaan kuussa tulee tilitys Skrilliin, jotka tietysti sitten sijoitetaan kryptovaluuttaan, joka muuten elää taas aika hyvin. Tuossa vuoden vaihteessa käytiin vähän korkemammalla, mutta sitten kuitenkin tultiin alas ja nyt tällä viikolla on ollut erittäin hyvää nousua, kunnes sitten tämä aamuna katsoin ja oltiin tultu taas liukurimäkeä alas.

Joten jos todellakin sijoitatte varallisuutta kryptoon, niin älkää sijoittako sellaista varallisuutta jota teillä ei ole varaa hävitä.

Keikkahomma takana ja arki koittaa

 No ei varsinaisesti, mutta kuitenkin. Tuossa keikalla ollessa tuli hankittua Applen Macbook Air. vuosimallia 2017 ihan sitä varten ettei tartte hotellissa räplätä kännykkää ja voi katella suoratoistoa ja sekä suorittaa näitä kyselyitä, niin olen huomannut että tuota HideoutTV ja sen alaisia sivustoja kun ajaa niin tuo Macbook tuottaa paremmin. Kotona kun on tuo Lenovon läppäri niin sitä saa pari kertaa illassa olla "herättämässä" kun tuo HideoutTV jumittaa. Tosin tuo Lenovo on aivan perusmalli, 4 Gt muistilla ja 64 Gt SSD:llä varustettu halvin mahdollinen läppäri viime keväänä. Macbook Airissa taas on muistia kuitenkin 8 Gt joka saattaa vaikuttaa siihen että ei jumita. Tai sitten se on käyttis. Tai sitten se on joku muu. 

Eihän tuossa näy mitenkään millä koneella nuo on ansaittu, mutta kun tein testin jossa olin kuitannut kerätyt pointsit talteen ja lähdettiin ns. tyhjältä pöydältä kerämään taas pointseja niin Win10 koneella kesti ja kesti saada kasaan 27 pistettä jota vaaditaan että saa 1 sentin Ysenseen. Sillä käytänhän tuota välillä siihen että saan Ysensen päivittäiset bonukset pysymään putkessa. Sitten taas kun tyhjältä pöydältä lähdin OSX:llä niin samassa ajassa jossa Win10 sai ton 27 pistettä niin oltiin menossa jo 100 pisteen nurkilla. Tietysti tuossa voi olla ajankohdasta johtuvia eroa, mutta en usko että sillä on niin paljon merkitystä sillä.

Onhan tuossa 4. päivä 531 pistettä, 3. päivä 360 pistettä, 2. päivä 1071 pistettä, 1. päivä 216 pistettä jne. vaihtelua päivittäin. 

Asiasta kolmanteen niin vihdoinkin sain tuolta kuljattajapaneeli.fi:stä ensimmäisen kotiutuksen. 10€ josta tietysti vähennettiin välityspalkkio, mutta vajaa 10€ tuli nopsaan Paypal-tilille. Samaan lykkyyn sain vielä vajaan 10€ suomitutka.fi sivustolta. Nää on käytännössä melkein sama sivusto, ainoa ero oikeastaan on se että siinä missä suomitutka.fista saa 5€ jälkeen kotiuttaa Paypalliin niin kuluttajapaneeli.fista saa vasta 10€ ja se on tasan se 10€. Eli jos on kerääntynyt esim 12€ niin se on se 10€ ja loput jää odottamaan seuraavaa 10€, kun taas suomitutka.fissa se on se koko summa, eli jos on vaikka tuo sama 12€ niin se menee kokonaan tilitykseen.

Tuossa huomasin kun tein tuon Lifetime Earnings sivun niin mulla on muutamaa SB:tä vajaa 1000 SB kasassa tuolla Swagbucksissa ja sieltä saan kohta kotiutettua 10$.

Bonusputki poikki

 No nyt sitten se kävi, Ysensen  bonusputki katkesi. 76 päivää sain putkeen tehtyä tuota että sain maksimi bonukset. Eikä se ollut muusta kiinni kuin omasta viitseliäisyydestä. En jaksanut eilen panostaa hommaan ja tänään sitten varttia vaille kymmenen hokasin että puuttuu yksi kysely tai tehtävä. Hideoutistakaan ei ollu apua kun olin ottanut aamulla kahdeksan aikaa pointsit sieltä Timebucksin päivittäiseen tehtävälistaan ja ei ollut kertynyt tarpeeksi pisteitä että olisin voinut ottaa ne Ysenseen. 6 pointsia vajaaksi jäi. 

Huhtikuun hyvä kyselyputki on myöskin hiljentynyt ja olen ottanut vain 30$ ulos ja nyt olen kituuttanut tehtävillä, eikä juurikaan kyselyitä ole tullut, kesä on tietysti yksi syy miksi hidastunut tahti.

Yhtä huonoja uutisia kryptovaluutan suhteen kanssa. ETC on laskenut kuin lehmän häntä ja tappiolla ollaan reilusti. 

Portfolion arvo kävi 227€:ssa mutta ollaan nyt 141€ nurkilla. Tähän olen vielä pistänyt parikymmentä euroa mitkä olen tuolta Timebucksista saanut. No onneksi tuolla ei ole sinänsä väliä kun kaikki nämä on tulosta tuolta Timebucksista ja olen kuitenkin parit kerrat kotiuttanut tuolta Skrillistä rahaa joten kaikenkaikkiaan olen vielä kuitenkin voitolla, niukin naukin. Kaikki kyselyistä tulleet 208.05€ ja kotiuttanut olen 231.81€, sekä sisällä on vielä tuo 141€, tällä hetkellä. Joten vaikka nyt portfolion arvo menisi nollaan niin olen kuitenkin plussalla 23.76€

Erittäin hyvä opetus siitä että kryptoon ei kannata sijoittaa rahaa jota ei ole varaa hävitä. Tietysti tässä on se mahdollisuus että rikoo on riskillä ruma, eli pistäisi ison summan kiinni ja toivoo että kurssi nousee reilusti jolloin voitot on suunnattomat. Mutta kauanko siihen menee että voitot saadaan kotiutettua? Viime buumi joka oli  2017-2018, kesti kolme vuotta ennen kuin tuli tämä seuraava härkämarkkina tänä vuonna. Joo alkoi viime vuoden lopulla, mutta varsinainen buumi oli tämän vuoden alussa joka kesti aina tuohon toukokuun puoleen väliin ja siitä on hinnat käytännössä puolittuneet. 

Netti on täynnä "tietäjiä" jotka tutkivat, ei vaan tulkitsevat menneisyyden käppyröitä ja arvuuttelevat epämääräisen kuuloisilla lauseilla ja ajankohdilla koska seuraava ATH tulee. Kaikille näille on yhteistä että kukaan ei tiedä varmaksi ja ainoat jotka tienaavat jotain on internetpersoonat jotka arvuuttelevat näitä youtube-videoilla ja keräävät katsojia tai bloggarit(kuten minäkin, vaikka tällä sivustolla ei ole mainoksia joista saisi edes jotain tuloa, saatika että olisi lukijoita) artikkelien mainoksien takia. 

Tosin minä en edes arvuuttele mitä, missä ja milloin.
