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.

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 volatile

A few days ago I wrote about cryptocurrency and it might make a comeback. Now I did sell my almost all of my cryptocurrency just about the right time.

ETC which I had 67 coins, I sold just shy of 40€ per coin and I made over 2660€, and I had invested 2035€.

Now most of that is extra money that I had and I was willing to lose it on this gamble. For now it paid me 540€ winning after all the fees included. 26% gain. Not bad for few months worth investing time period.

I still have some invested in XLM, which has been affected as much this "hiccup" that we have seen this time.

I initially invested back in the October last year, just around that second coming. And it has been downhill slope ever since. As you can see my average buying price is around 0.15€, so to break even I need the XLM rise above 0.15€, since I need to cover the fees too.

And comparing the same month to ETC, not a huge gains to be seen. 

So, what makes these tick? Something, somewhere says something about buying a huge amount of some crypto and everybody watched closely to trends on the histogram. Suddenly some crypto starts to climb and everyone is FOMO-mode and buying frenzy starts and prices hicks up. 

As there is no "central government" to regulate anything, it's a wild ride. 

Don't invest any money that you aren't willing to lose.

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?

One falls in the line and rest will follow?

Just a week ago I wrote that Suomitutka had a bunch of surveys and I made a killing with them. Now, an another Finnish language survey site called mielipidemaailma.fi I had a bunch of surveys and I made a few in that and made beyond cash out threshold.

Okay, this was in a long way of making, since my last cash out from mielipidemaailma.fi was in last December. 

Great about this site is that you get email notifications when there is a new survey available, that most likely you are the target group. So, anytime there is an email from mielipidemaailma.fi you most likely get to do it and get payments. The only downside is that rewards are not that great per surveys.

Pisteettä equal as points, and 1 point equals as 0,01€. So, there is that one in the top that has 100 points, that's 1,00€. That is the highest reward I've seen on this platform. But, what about those 5 points? Only good part is that if you enter the survey, and for some reason you are disqualified from it, you get pity points, five of them. 

Since at least you tried.

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.
