I would say just start slow. It is easy to become burnt out especially as you have little ones, so just go slow and if blogging is for you, things will fall into place. Blogging seems so easy, but it can take a fair while to really grow into something special. Have longer term goals, and try to mee...

One more question quick for anybody who has done this. Is it best to update content, such as blog entries on a daily basis, weekly, etc? I don't want to update too much and get burnt out, but I also don't want to lose people's interest by waiting too long to update!

Hi racechick79 I'm really glad you started your quest here! It will be great to see your blog over time to see how you grow and what direction you take it in. This is the reason I closed the moneyoncomputer blog and opened this dedicated forum over 2 months ago, you should be writing blogs, and I s...

Thank you all for your comments and for your help thus far! I am taking it all in and going to use as much help and information as I can get from you! I really appreciate you all taking the time to help me out and am going to take a lot of your advice. I appreciate the suggestions for how to make mo...

My husband just helped me set up a blog last night and I have become addicted to it quite quickly. I think it could really be something I would enjoy doing and could find a lot of things to talk about on. Just wondering if you would mind taking a look at it and letting me know what you think of it, ...

I do. I feel like I am mostly putting those things out there that don't have a bonus as more of a benefit for the other people out there; not necessarily as a benefit for the company that I would be "promoting". If they have really worked for me, I don't mind other people trying them out!

Thanks for the ideas! We will have to check into these as well. I really appreciate all of the help in this area! Have you tried these out yourself?

Hi, I only use one which pays between 2 and 10 dollars per survey. I have tried many others, but this one is the one that really works and is legit. You don't get a lot of surveys though, but when you are finished doing the survey, they will list you for payment through paypal in 3-6 weeks. No mini...

Etsy is a good thing if you do not mind having the fees. However, you may want to check out Ecrater because it is free to use and does not have the fees like the other sites have! Thanks so much for the info. I will definitely keep that in mind and I think will also be checking out Ecrater. And tha...

I have been a member for several months but was under the impression I had to be a US resident to sell items on it. I was corrected a few weeks ago but have not yet listed anything. I do know a couple of people who do list their crafts and fiber there and do alright. I think it is like eBay (or any...

My husband is an artist and we are looking for ways for him to make some money online. Just wondered if anybody has had any luck with the website Etsy; and also any tips or tricks you might have? Thank you!

I am impressed with the list here genieswish! Then, I read down a few posts and though - oh my, I found a twin - I, too, am one to sign up for a million things and then forget about them. Just wondering; since postloop and usertesting are my biggest money makers right now - has anybody found any sit...

Sounds easy enough, I'll definitely be checking it out once I'm home from vacation and have access to my microphone and thel ikes. I hope it works out for you. I just received my webcam in the mail from them so that I can be a mobile tester on the ipad/ipod touch. Haven't done any jobs for that yet...

Yes. I ended up getting two this week. One was only for $.50, but then at the end of it they asked if I would be interested in doing a product test on baby wipes. For any of you that have children, you know how nice something like that can be! Looking forward to getting them in the next few weeks an...

So this is a site you have to apply for and be accepted to? How much effort did the application process take? Only about 15 minutes. You do a sample video and follow a mock test (like one that you would be doing) and then they send you an acceptance or denial. My cousin was denied the first time sh...

I know there are certain user testing requesters on Amazon MTurk as well. You need to take a qualification test to ensure that your review comments on the websites are up to par for their standards. Then you are allowed to accept HITS by those requesters. I'm not sure how legitimate they are though...

I just wanted to add something that happened tonight. I received an email from User Testing stating that because I had done such a great job on one of my previous tests, the client had specifically requested that I do the test for them; so it wasn't even offered to other users. I think it is just an...

i've given up on the idea too - but if he has some arty shots you could sell them as designs on cafepress or zazzle, or better still make a gallery style blog and let people download for free, you would make money from affiliate products such as photography courses or equipment:) I have never tried...

My husband does some really nice photography and unfortunately we have had the same luck as you with any of the sites that we have tried. I have seriously began to wonder if there is really somebody on the other end that is reviewing them or if it is random. When you look at the photos on the site t...

I have signed up for them a few months back but never actually did any work with them. From the reviews I have saw online they are a pretty good company that pays well if you are able to complete the tasks. Hopefully soon I can get back with this company to make some extra cash. I do know they are ...

Great info Racechick! This actually seems more feasible than some other sites. I definitely don't mind giving my opinion on things. :D I checked out the site and I don't completely get how you use a phone to record though. I don't have a microphone on my computer. ?? When you accept a test it will ...

I have been a member for a semester, and I have not made a cent. Every day or so they will send out emails if a job is available. They have thousands of testers but will send out for 2-3 positions available. On top of that, tests have stipulations like "must live in Iowa getting child support&...

Tried to sign up and was told I am already registered with their parent company I-say. I like the idea of only getting surveys I'm approved for, instead of spending 5-10 of my time only to be told I don't qualify. Product tests are fun, especially when its food! Absolutely! Food is the best :) You ...

I just wanted to share another one of the sites that I enjoy. It is not a huge money maker, but it has brought in some. It is a survey site, so I know that that turns some off, but the nice thing is that they send you emails when they have a survey for you, and I have never had to qualify for the su...

Yes, I did use your link. And I already have the English Comprehension Credentials and will look for the other. Thanks again! Appreciate the heads up!

Yeah, one of the employers on Amazon MTurk does the same thing and if you miss the email, you may miss some of the higher paying jobs. By the way, not to hijack my own thread!!! But, I signed up for CloudCrowd last night. I haven't had a lot of time to search around, but it does seem like an intere...

They do send you an email with the available jobs, but often times there are jobs that get grabbed up by the time that you even get to the site. They send out an email to everybody who may qualify, but they may only need 20 participants, etc, so it is on a first come first serve basis. So, when I ha...

Yes, I have had a little extra time this week (thanks to my children taking naps at the same time!) and have been able to grab some of the jobs quicker than in the past few weeks and am on pace to make about $70 in a week. Nothing like an outside the home job, but enough for me to feel good about pu...

Also on a side note; I did my fair share of research on the site before joining and found nothing negative and some really great reviews by other users! I hope you have the same experience!

It sounds interesting. I'd have to actually look into it. How often do they pay? How quickly do they pay in relation to the completion of work? What is the average amount of money per test? Is a PayPal account all that you need? Once you complete a test (my first one was for google), you are paid 7...
