Back to doing surveys

 So, I was browsing my old "inactive" Get-Paid-To sites and noticed that I had accumulated some money from referral. But not enough to cashout, so I have to do some surveys to get over the limit for withdraw. 

So I have been doing some surveys and offers in the ySense for few days now to achieve reasonable payment limit.

What I have noticed is that payments per survey aren't that great or it is just that it is that time of the year that those surveys aren't being ordered that much.

So, while I was doing these, I checked my Freecash account and there were also few extra cents from my affiliates and I needed to do some points in Timewall account. 

Back in the business

Summer is almost over and I am getting back the doing these GPT-sites and blogging about them too.

First of all, I have cut down the sites that I use for surveys, as they tend to have the same surveys, but different rewards due the hosting sites commission. 

I've cut the Suomitutka.fi site, even though it had a lower payout limit than Kuluttajapaneeli.fi, but Kuluttajapaneeli has more opportunities for surveys, or at least so it seems. Might drop that too.

I have almost forgotten completely Ysense.

Last survey made in the end of the May. Two months ago. Well, I have spent time away from the keyboard quite lot for few months now. But I've made this year $27,37 with Ysense, while I have made $168,21 with Timebucks in the same time.

And now that I was at Ysense, I just did two surveys. So, I guess I am not dropping it from the schedule, quite soon. Depends on a lot from Timebucks and Freecash.

While in a few months I've made a same amount in Freecash.

Okay, it might be almost the same time. I can't find when I did join the Freecash, but my first payment was from 3rd of April, so I have done at least four months now.

I am making a post about my routine on Freecash site. 

Till then, I'll be back!

Long time no see

 Well, it has been almost two months since my last post. I have been doing new site almost every day since I notified about it in my previous post. Then I got sick, needed minor operation, spend week in bed, then I started working on an early morning shift in work, didn't have the energy to write anything, spend one week on summer vacation and just relaxed, go back to work on an early morning shift again and I am about to leave for another week of my summer vacation and I have plans to travel so I won't be writing anything and maybe I won't have time to do daily beer money jobs at all.

So, while I got paid my summer vacation salary already I just cashed in from Ysense:

That has been a long time to gather. I mean this used to be my main site to get to paid by doing surveys and tasks, but now days I hardly get any surveys. Which might be that there is a slump like I had last year in the summer time. Go figure.

Then I cashed in from Kuluttajapaneeli.fi too:

This has been quite refreshing since there have been a lot more surveys available than other sites that I use, but down side is that this site doesn't pay that good.

Well, I am off for few weeks and I'll try to write about that Freecash.com a post.

Cash out time

So, I had the pleasure to cash out from Suomitutka.fi. It has been quite some time since the last time I got to cash out from Suomitutka.fi. 

And I thought I was just tree fiddy away in Kuluttajapaneeli.fi, but when I logged in, there were a bunch of surveys and I made above threshold and got to cash out from Kuluttajapaneeli.fi also.

Also, it was payday Thursday in Timebucks, which has been proven to be most reliable GPT/beer money site, at least for me.

And as usual, you get an email where you click a link to redeem the reward and then you get an another link, where you verify that you want to redeem your reward to PayPal.

But it is fast, I just barely clicked that last redeem, and I got a new email notifying me that there has been made a payment to my PayPal account.

Now, I am just half way through to cash out in Ysense too, which has taken also a quite some time. 

Update on Timebucks

 Timebucks rolled an update for it's daily goal list. There were a 6 attempts on tasks previously:

Which was kind of hard sometimes, I mean there are a lot of tasks to be done, but most of them are once off and either required way too much time to be worth the effort. And some are just straight up "scams" like making a gmail account and then giving the access to task owner. 

But the news is that you only need to attempt 3 tasks per day to get check mark on your daily goal checklist now.

It took few days to get changed on the daily goal checklist, but now it is

And it was payday for Ysense on past week. That was coming for a long time.

Also payday for Mielipidemaailma:

Good way to start the month with few paydays!

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.

Another year has gone by

 And what a roller coaster it has been making money off the internet. Ysense what used to be my back bone for making beer money online, has gone dry. 

Okay, I have to admit that I haven't been checking Ysense that often that I used to. Since my last cash out was mid-October, I haven't had that many surveys available or I wasn't the target audience. 

Although I have been busy with my other online beer money sites. Mielipidemaailma.fi is almost ready for another cash out, which is surprising since this site has been quite quiet in the past.

I am just 35 points shy of cashing out and my last cash out was a month ago!

But Timebucks drives this home for this year!

Okay, most of that is tied up in falling Cryptomarket, but around $90 was cashed out into PayPal, and I'll continue to cash out to PayPal.

So, how much I made this year?

$130 from Ysense.

$309 from Timebucks.

€15 from Mielipidemaailma.

€34 from Suomitutka.fi

€20 from Kuluttajapaneeli.fi

And since EUR and USD are quite close to each other I'll just add them together: $508 

Not bad.

That was fast one

While my Timebucks keep rolling steady pace, Ysense is ground to halt almost complete, but Mielipidemaailma has boosted its surveys to the max.

530 points in less than week. This has usually taken a few months. My previous before latest was early in the July. And the last one was earlier this month.

Basically four months in between those last two cash out.

The funny thing about this Mielipidemaailma is that I'll get an email that there are surveys available, but not.

The first line is: New surveys are now available.

The second line is: Hey, xxx, new surveys are not right now available.

But usually there are being surveys available.

So, I cashed out my second 5€ in a month from Mielipidemaailma.

And before I could attach that screen capture to this blog post, I've got notification from my phone that it has already been paid to my PayPal account.

That was really a fast one.

Quiet time for surveys

 For Ysense at least it has been quite a quiet time for surveys. 

At least I got one survey made. In three years I have made $651 with Ysense. Now, in the other hand, I made the same amount with Timebucks, in a less time.

Even thought Timebucks has shown same slowing down pace with the surveys and tasks.

Does the inflation affect these too? I would have thought it would the other way around.

One thing might be that those that commissions these surveys are getting more precise of what is their target audience and I am just about hitting the middle age, between young and 50 years old.

I am not that worried since this has been a hobby for me and I don't really rely on these payments as my main income, which you shouldn't think that these are. Well, for some countries this might be true.

As long I can get tasks done and get paid at least bi-weekly in Timebucks it's worth the time.

And if you are considering signing up for Timebucks, you should sign up for Hideout.tv too!

Check out my previous post about Hideout.tv!

Update: 

Just when I thought that Ysense is kind of dried up:

And there it is

 

...Cash out from the Ysense. And while I cashed out, there were new surveys in line.

Now that my IRL things are finally settling in I can focus more on this Ysense, since it seems to have picked up it's normal course of the surveys that are available.

And it's few days and it's my third Anniversary on the Ysense. 

And in that time I have made $651, which translates to $216 a year, which is not that much, but for me at least few last three, four months has been quite quiet, since I bought my own house, then I worked more than usual for a month and now we had software change and that meant again more overtime work. I finally I am back in my normal day routine. I estimate that if I hadn't had to work so much in my day job, I recon that I would be over $700, since I use to make $20 per month.

Well, I'll get right back in to the "work".

Ysense picking up the absense of surveys

 Most of the absence of surveys for me has been that I have been out of the "office" with Ysense. As I bought my house and having spent time there, I left my main computer at my old place, which I use to answer surveys in Ysense. Technically, I could answer those with my laptop too, but I didn't have that much time to answer surveys, but I did have time to go through my Timebucks routine everyday, since you can to something else while you do Timebucks daily goal list.

Now that I have access my main computer again, I have made few surveys and I am just few ten cents shy from cash out.

Last cash out was a month ago and I could cash out in few short days and when my whole moving in thing is done for good, I can continue my normal daily routine with Ysense too.

More surveys at Ysense

 

I haven't checked my Ysense account, while and as I checked it today I found this CPX research surveys on it. I have made them through Timebucks and I hope this will bring a little live in the Ysense.

And speaking about little live, as I have previously talked about Suomitutka and Kuluttajapaneeli I checked those accounts and can't really say that there had been action.

At least at Suomitutka there has been some action per month, but in Kuluttajapaneeli...

Okay, I've made three surveys in the August, but sincethe  start of the May, five surveys. Just 1,25 surveys per month. But as I stated about these that I don't really count my earnings on these two platforms, since these are for people that live in the Finland and speak Finnish.

Oh, and I haven't yet tested payments from Timebucks to PayPal. I really have to check that soon.

Ysense is back

 I haven't got much of surveys from Ysense, but today I made few from the bunch.

Ysense has been struggling lately, but if I remember correctly, it was due summer time, that there weren't that many surveys available, although I have been getting surveys from other sites.

Anyways, with today's surveys, I finally passed the cash out limit.

Last time I cashed out from Ysense was... um, oh, a bit over month ago. Well, I have been spending my summer vacation, so no wonder.

Now, at my current work place I am a substitute to our warehouse person, but this year things are different, since our warehouse person quit and moved to different city and got job from different workplace. So, I am doing temporarily, permanently warehouse duty. Now, that gives me a steady income, since I work fixed hours and I can plan much better how I do these surveys and other beer money sites. 

The only drawback is that I have to work from Mondays to Fridays. From 7 am till 1-3 pm. I can have 6 hours work days, or 7 or 8 hours. I know I am not going to work 8 hours ever again. 

Oh, and I bought a house 54 km away from work. So I had to wake up way too early for me to drive to work every week day morning.

So, what to do?

Summer vacation is over and back to

...work. I was going to say, but this isn't a work, more like a hobby.

I managed to answer yesterday to few surveys and I passed the cash out limit, but luckily I didn't cash out right away, since today Suomitutka was packed with surveys, of I managed to answer 7, totalling 4,40€ in less than 30 minutes.

So, last time I cashed out from Suomitutka was three and half a month ago. Granted, I haven't been paying much of attention to Suomitutka, but either that is the reason I got swamped today, or it was just the right time. Anyway cashed out 9,80€ today.

Also, I managed to reach cash out in Timebucks too, and as today is payment day, I cashed out $15,92. That's two weeks worth of "work". Been quite busy in the IRL and there is going to be a bit more to come, as I bought a house and I am splitting my time between two places and there is no logically reason to pack my laptops to go every time, so I'll be doing this with my current apartment and spending time at my house as a vacation.

Also, Ysense is getting ready to cash out too, just a bit over $1 to gather.

Oh, well, it's still summer, but day job doesn't care.
