It does come across a little rude, however I appreciate that it can be easy to have comments misinterpreted when the reader than can not see your body language.

P.S You may want to edit the bit about people using this forum not achieving decent earnings as that is possibly not the best way to get people using this forum on side. ;)

Sorry, the reply I've wrote here doesn't come across so well. Someone was saying that you can't make that sort of money on the green site, I was saying 'with regards to not being able to achieve this the opportunities for my sort of money are out there, mostly on TMS' :) So it was a nice comment about this site, not one :)

What Jon has said to make the sentence make sense is correct ;D

It isn't meant to be rude, so glad people understand that :) Just hard sometimes to get the right sentiment across online :-*

If my real job was to disappear tomorrow I would continue to work online, as I do, and that would be enough. I'm grateful for what I have but don't usually talk about the figures of my real job, just because that coupled with what I make online can make for some rude comments (the green site PMs) which is partly why I was looking to move over to here more, where you can say what you mean and there aren't lots of silly rules.

Never mind all that man - What is ya 25k a year job - the no knowing is killing me hahahahahaha :)

It is nothing glamorous, probably best categorised as 'customer service'.

Hahahaha, no!! ;D

My husband would never go for rudey chat or anything, although I probably would've given it a go when I was skint a few years ago.

It means it is dull to explain and I can't say who I work for (It isn't MI5 or anything though ;) ) so customer service just covers loosely what I do. Lots of admin, phone calls, organising travel, dealing with complaints etc :)

Another good term is general online dogsbody.

the green site tends to mostly chat about survey and click sites while the more meatier and higher paying work tends to reside here and opportunities get shared far more openly

That's what I've also found with the green site. If you start a conversation about some "work from home" opportunity other than survey sites then, the mods tend to think of it as some sort of scam and think you have an ulterior motive. This site is certainly more open and some of the information shared can be beneficial to folk on different levels of their IM journey.

I want to be an online dogsbody for 25k a year!!!!!!

Me too!!! ;D


I don't think reading that total is THAT hard to do. lets also remember that that is 25k before tax - your actual take home would be circa £19k. So around £1600 a month


Lets say you work for Leapfore / lionbridge / appen etc. and do £700-£800 a month on LF. That half the total taken right there before you get into Mystery Shopping / app work / WhatUsersDo esk stuff


Lets also say you run a blog or to and make £100 a month off those


I recon £1200 a month could be easily achievable. I used to do that with 63336 ALONE and I know Pheebs is doing fantastic money working for Bongo at the moment


Hard work - Yes


Would it take a long time to find the high paying work, no but it would require a lot of effort as always

Take home is £1747 (It is actually just over £25k), also I made just over £15,000 online on the usual sites too. Now I know about some other sites from here I assume I'll make more than £15,000 anyway, so definitely achievable like you say. My husband earns a fraction more than me too.

Hi Katykicker, I've got a couple of questions if you dont mind.

Out of your 15k, do you have any particular earner that provides a majority of that, or at least a large part, or is it a pretty even spread across a variety of sites?

Also, do you find that you get more money because of referrals, or is most of your earnings from actions you personally do?

Thanks

I give far too much thought to my mystery shopping reports and can waste a couple of hours on one. I must be going wrong when companies such as GFK say the assessment should take around 30 minutes, including visit and data entry!

Spread across a wide variety of websites. I know a few people here make the BIG numbers from Leapforce, Fieldagent and the like, so they would probably be a good place to start if you are short on time/energy/want to dedicate yourself to just a few sites.

A number of small/medium earners added up to a good few thousands last year. Mystery Shopping (Variety of sites - think they are all listed elsewhere here), Clixsense, GlobalTestMarket, OpinionWorld, Clickworker (Don't use this anymore really), SurveyNetwork, WhatUsersDo, Crowdflower.

With regards to referrals last year I didn't have a huge amount for the majority of the year. My referrals would have earned me around £1,000 of that figure, maybe slightly less, most of that was at the end of the year. Other referral amounts weren't included, the ones that were simple to deduct (e.g paid referral links where the money sat on a website - commission junction for example). This year I'm possibly on a similar amount already, or at least I will be by the end of the month. This year I will be deducting referrals from my end of year amount, as cleanly as I can anyway, just for transparency in people being able to earn what I've earned.

Edited to add - Almost all of my earnings last year were from my own actions. This year my own actions will make maybe 75% of my money, I hope. But that is freeing me up to spend more time working on my blog and a few other things (offline things).

Jon - What is superclickyhypergogo website? I've never heard of it so assume it is either a joke or something scammy? If it is the latter I don't buy any referrals or anything, I just go for organic referrals. PMs, friends, on my blog etc.
