[member=2593]Jacobbarnard[/member] Perhaps you need to change the way you approach them? For instance, VoxPopMe sends usually a survey a day. 25 p each to record an answer and upload. This would make £10 in 40 days if you were to answer all. Sometimes they do have surveys pay higher (63p or 75p) and all for less than 3 minutes job. The better quality your answers, the more you will get.

Roamler at least have regular tasks but it depends on the area you live in so may be it won't work. This goes for other task apps too. It is better for instance if you are in a city.Appjobber is another not bad option.

All of these add up eventually. Yes it won't pay out a tenner for each task but if you check them regularly, turn on notifications etc you will pile up points.

For the blog, I'd suggest you to find something you like. This could be cars or books or anything else but it is hard to write something you aren't interested in. At least this is my experience.

I get one every few days, if that. I try to check my phone atleast once a day as I have a few apps on there, but it's barely worth it.

My area seems to be terrible, I never get anything near, Appjobber, the same thing, it's the same thing with all apps where I got to go to places to earn rewards, I get barely anything.

Yes I understand that, if you look what I replied Jon I listed my 2 websites. Both of them I lack ideas. I want to look into affiliates, then I really wouldn't need to care about what I write about, other than copyright, etc. as if I would use Google Adsense there's so many rules!

I don't get this copyright / google adsense issue

Loads of blogs use adsense, they just write content like normal about whatever the blog is about...

I was also thinking, what about this https://www.redwigwam.com/workers/job-opportunities ?

People from TMS including me did some mystery shopping for them but they also have other jobs from time to time like leaflet distribution.

Swagbucks apps have changed so you can no longer favorite short videos (I believe) so it requires babysitting. I don't have access to it now but I used to just keep it in front of me when doing other stuff on PC/ watching TV and just press "next" halfway through the videos.Face no problems apart from occasional server collapse etc.
Perk I did use a bit but I didn't find as good.

Can't remember if I looked into RedWigWam, but I've heard of it. Just tried signing up, but it asks what job I've done and I haven't had a job before so can't fill it in.

Well just put N/A. You don't really need much experience for mystery shopping.

Mine's about lists and if I wrote about a game such as Grand Theft Auto then it might not be allowed as it's a grey area in their rules, high ranking people in the Google Adsense forums said don't bother if it's anything even slightly related to violence such as video games.

There isn't an option to. It's a drop down selection.

if you run a blog you are free to write a review on GTA without it affecting Google Adsense which, in reality, you will earn PENCE from for a very long period of time so you might as well just go straight into Affiliate marketing instead of using GA

FWI - I don't use GA on here at all...

also is this 'lists' thing not just narrowing down what content you can produce

why not just produce regular blog content. Hope you are checking out the blogging toolkit on TMS Blog btw!!!

I want to use affiliate marketing, but not sure what they'd want on my blog/website. Is that like listing an amazon link on my blog/website?

Yes, I've read through it.

I've got a domain and hosting as you can see from my 2 websites.

My niche for www.jacoblists.com is lists. It doesn't restrict me as I can write about anything, but in list style which was the idea I liked.

I don't use adsense either at all.

You have two blogs/sites. Just put that you're a writer. :)

You shouldn't bother worrying about Adsense, even BIG bloggers (100k page views) might only be making £50-£75 a month.

IF your blog had 100k views you wouldn't mind losing out on Adsense.

What have you made so far from Adsense?

Hi there, read your post there! Just started the other week on here myself and enjoying the chat. Not really went into MB myself yet although I did try and won the other week and got a nice bonus!!! Keeping that on hold 4 the time being! Am only looking 2 get about £200 a month just to give me a wee bit extra, if I can make more that's s bonus. Any how I have been using global test sites and survey networks 4 my surveys and slowly getting to my cash out target, is there any recommended sites that you use as I c u make around 250 a month from surveys!!! If I just continue with my 2 I prob could make about 50 a month, so looking for another 4-5 to try and beef up my monthly income!!!

Hi [member=4310]Skedger03[/member] - here is a link to the survey bible that I wrote for The Money Shed that might help: http://blog.themoneyshed.co.uk/survey-bible-maximise-online-survey-earnings/

Barely anything, but that's because I barely get any views.

I wrote a post on here a while back where I listed every website I use to earn money online. You can find it here: http://www.themoneyshed.co.uk/index.php?topic=5332.0

I still update it whenever I find a new website or if I stop using a website. I hope it helps!

Even if you had 10,000 views a month you'd still be unlikely to even be cashing out their £60 minimum each month or two.

If you've had no luck with leapforce, have you tried the other SEE companies, e.g Lionbridge, Appen Butler Hill and iSoft Stone? There's info about them on here. Otherwise Utest for website testing if it hasn't already been mentioned, some people earn quite a bit from that.

Yes, I've tried those sites, no luck though really.
