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!

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.

Rare cash out

 Well, this is triple rare since I get to cash out both Suomitutka, Kuluttjapaneeli and MielipideMaailma at the same time (well four days apart).

Last cash out from Kuluttajapaneeli was from the May. Six months ago! Okay, I've said that I don't actively seek surveys from that site, but here we are.

It was easy as it can get. 

Then I cashed out the Suomitutka.

Okay, last time I cashed out from Suomitutka was a quite a while ago too, but due my personal life getting in a way of doing surveys.

And then today I've got few surveys to answer and I got past the threshold for MielipideMaailma.

This has been quite good, since I got email every time there is a new available survey at MielipideMaailma and I have been skipping those, because those aren't worth that much per survey.

And that was fast payment, I didn't even get to write this before MielipideMaailma's payment was deposited in my PayPal account.

Now, I guess I can post about these sites next time in about... uh, spring 2023.

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.

Timebucks and PayPal

 So, I decided to see how Timebucks and PayPal work together. First, I set the payment method to PayPal from Settings tab.

And here you should be careful, since the email address that you have in your PayPal account may be different that you use in the Timebucks. Luckily, you can have a bunch of email addresses in PayPal and I use the same email as I use in Timebucks. You don't have to use the same email, but as I do quite lot different survey sites and what not, it's easier for me to keep track of things when certain things use certain email. Like I do online shopping completely different email as I do corresponding. Or log in forums etc.

And Thursday came. So, now I'll wait.

And I waited.

Till I remembered to check my email account, for completely different thing, I noticed that there is email from Timebucks. Sitting there since last Thursday.

So, you need to check your email to "claim the reward" before it comes to your PayPal account.

Okay, one day. At this day and age one day is the max that you should have been waiting.

It actually took quite short time. I check my PayPal about two hours later and there it was.

So it works, just you have check your email before you are paid.

Paypal is back on Timebucks

 Well, when I started doing Timebucks, there weren't PayPal-option for cash out, but they had it previously. And I have gone with Skrill, since that has been the only viable option for me. But today I had great news in Push Clicks as Timebucks announced that PayPal-cash out option is back!

I mean that it has been great to invest my "hard earned" money in cryptocurrency, and you can withdraw from Skrill to your bank account, but I have preferred PayPal as I can pay for my streaming services with it and a lot of online purchasing. 

We can see this at work on this coming Thursday as it is the set payment date.

Another new thing about Timebucks is not so great reform. Push clicks that you need to do three times per day to qualify for daily task goal, those used to be quite simple, just click it when your OS notifies and that's that. And in some OS you got piled up notifications and you just clicked them and viewed the content for 30 sec and then you could click the next notification on your notification center and you were done in less than two minutes. Now, you can't click right away, because the system is set up so that you have to pace yourself for two hours. So, if you have all the time for this kind of "hobby" it's not a big deal, but if you work in a day job and you start your work before the new day is dawning to Timebucks, you have lost half a day to get that daily goal done. 

Okay, one great thing about this reform is that you can see when you have do this daily goal job.

Previously, you didn't see that, so now at least you can track yourself that how many of these you have done already.

Some great news and some not so great, although I get the point of having to pace those push clicks.

Cryptocurrency is making a comeback?

 I have talked about investing my rewards, that I get from Timebucks, in crypto currency earlier and it has been a steep decline since height of the boom 2021.

As I have said, and everyone that has sane thoughts about investing in crypto is that don't invest money that you can't lose. 

Okay, this is just one day and my portfolio went from 1850€ to 2110€. Volatility is very high and since the last boom was over a year ago and there was a small bull run in April and I invested my own money, that I was willing to lose. I have bought a small amount every time I get cash out from Timebucks and luckily I have made steady buy in when the prices have been quite low. 

This is one of the cryptos that I have heavily invested as you can see. Compared to Bitcoin, this has more potential in my opinion.

As you can see around April and now there is more gain to be have than the all mighty Bitcoin. And Bitcoin cost so much that you can't invest small amount money, because fees takes too much. 

How about memecoins? Aka shittycoins, let's take a look at the legendary Dogecoin:

Yes, the price is ridiculously low and buying for 1000€ you shit load of coins and if, that is very big, ever goes past four digits, you are filthy rich. But I wouldn't hold my breath. 

Now, some say that this isn't a speculative commodity but a currency. But when the currency isn't tied to anything, the price can fluctuate wildly. Secondly, where are the stores now days that accept crypto as payment?

Oh, by the way, on Thursday it's this months fourth payment from Timebucks!

And I've made $55.47!

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?
