My goal for this July was set pretty high. I was expecting to earn at least $350 in CHECK/CASH and at least $75 in GC's for Amazon. Next month I'm only going to set it for $250 in CHECK/CASH and another $25 in GC's for Amazon. YouData ~ $0.55 Opinion Outposts ~ $44.30 InboxDollars ~ $27.03 Quickrewards ~ $1.36 Neobux ~ $5.02 Gather ~ $25.00 Matrixmails ~ $0.63 Pinecone Research ~ $6.00 FocusGroup ~ $50.00 Opinion Outposts ~ $17.50 ---------------------------------------------------------- Giftcards already received: GSN ~ $20.00 ~ Amazon Swagbucks ~ $10.00 ~ Amazon I save the Amazon giftcards for Christmas shopping for my kids. It has worked well to buy birthday gifts as well. ---------------------------------------------------------- Coupon Savings: $3.19 Coupon in the Mail for a FREE a lunch product $0.85 Coupon for FREE M&M's chocolate! ---------------------------------------------------------- Money I found: $0.19 ---------------------------------------------------------- Other Places I cashed out, but haven't received payment yet: WinSpinWin ~ $28.75 Scavengercash ~ $5.43 Global Opinion Panels ~ $5.00 ---------------------------------------------------------- Giftcards, I'm waiting on, but haven't received payment yet: $30.00 ~ Amazon Giftcard (GSN) $10.00 ~ I-tunes Giftcard (GSN) ---------------------------------------------------------- JULY SUMMARY: ---------------------------------------------------------- Received CHECK/CASH TOTAL: $176.59 Pending CHECK/CASH TOTAL: $39.18 JULY CHECK/CASH TOTAL: $215.77 Received GIFTCARD TOTAL: $30.00 Pending GIFTCARD TOTAL: $40.00 JULY GIFTCARD TOTAL: $70.00 ======================================= The majority of the income came from survey sites, and my other site that I like to use which is Gather. You can check out my profile if you're interested in any or my online endeavors. Together we can earn a little extra each month. What was your goal for the month of July? Did you reach it/exceed it or lowered it for some reason? Do you pick up pennies that you find in the street? Do you consider that income that you earned? I do. I plan on mylot being in the total for the month of August earnings.

Wow!! That is amazing that you have found so many reputable sites that actually pay you! So you work full time from your computer, I take it? How many hours a day do you spend on the computer?

Wow, that is even more amazing that you work full time and you make time to do all those different sites. Were you referred to them, or was it trial and error on your part, searching through sites and weeding out the bad ones?

I learn about most of the legit paying sites from social networks like Gather and mylot. I've been rewarded many many times over as a result of participating in both of these social networking sites.

I spend at least 4 to 6 a day. I do have a full time job, this is just in my spare time.

you trade in your points for giftcards or PayPal payments after you've earned enough points for the giftcard or paypal payment you want. Takes about 3 weeks to receive your payment, I've been a member since January. I've been paid $25 per month ever since I joined.

I may have to go back to Gather. I never seemed to get as many views, or maybe I did not post enough, or just had the wrong friends. I like all this money going into my PayPal account.

hello hdjohnson, Wow! good for you for you are earning much in your back-up income. The only site that I am earning is Mylot. I joined other site and expecting to pay me this month for reaching their minimum which is $50 but I guess it's a scam - Mypage5. Is it okey if you can include me as your friend? I can be one of your referrals. Thanks in advance.

I sure hope MP5 turns out to be a winner. I'm signed up over there as well, but haven't been that active. Have you tried Redgage? It's alot better in my opinion. Let me know if you'd like a referral link, PM me your email address, I'll send you an invite. I'm not as active there yet, just still trying to find my groove with it, but I know at least 6 others that have gotten paid from it, and I trust their judgment and character.

That depends on the country and the work effort put into whatever opportunity you're sign up for. Not all opportunities cater to our International audience, unlike mylot.

What is opinion outposts and scavenger cash? I have not heard of those. I utilize mylot and two survey sites right now.

I heard online survey gives out big money as online earnings, but its not available in the philippines. There are sites that lets you register though, but the product is not available in my area so we dont get that much surveys to answer to. Good luck to you!

Yeah, many survey sites aren't available internationally unfortunately. At least not all of them. There are a few that do though. I'm in the US, so most of them are tailored to the US residents. Sorry about that.

I do various sites that give me Amazon giftcards to spend on merchandise at Amazon, I don't have one of their stores. It's basically a way to buy Christmas gifts without having to go out to the stores to buy them and I save on gas, etc... I don't do any selling.

I would rather say that u r very lucky that u r from western countries, as indian i get really less chance to earn much. I tried gather but the site is too slow earning one.

My wife is a stay at home mother and we are trying to find a way for her to earn a little extra cash on the side. How much time would you say you spend dealing with all of these different sites in order to earn your supplemental income?
@hdjohnson (2981)

About 4 to 6 hours a day. I earn this in my spare time, and I do have a full time job. Let me know if I can help out, if you're in the US, then more than likely the survey route is the best way to go, since she is a SAHM, many survey companies would like to know her opinions. I'm member of quite a few of them, and if you need a referral, send me a friend request and a PM.

I have only heard of 1 of the websites you have listed and that is Inbox. I have earned $30+ through Inbox and have referred several of my friends to the site. I am hoping to be able to spend some time researching the others you have listed and seeing about earning additional income from them. Thank you for the information.

If I've been an inspiration to just one person, that's good enough for me. Thanks for stopping by.

I haven't been doing a lot of online earning for the past few years. I used to do freelance writing - this would give me about a thousand per month. it took too much time, though, and I had to stop because I needed to be able to work my regular job. This month I am going to try to get money from reviewstream, mylot, and swagbucks. Next month I may try for more, but my business gets busy again. It's the tricky combination of "I need more money" and "I have less time".

I do not have any particular goals other than to reach payout every month at MyLot. I am fortunate to have some freelance work as well. I made about $80 in July. I have lots of points at MyPoints, enough for $50 worth of various gift cards, I believe. I did not have much luck with Gather. I want to earn at more writing sites, and maybe blog. I have a hard time doing my own writing, because I can do so much freelance. I do pick up change, but do not consider it "income". I also earn tokens for going above and beyond at work and those can be redeemed for merchandise or gift certificates.
@hdjohnson (2981)

I earn tokens on Freeride. I earn about 100 per week from them. It will take a long time to get a cashout from them, but I'm really patient. Wow, you got that much from mypoints already? I only have enough points for $10 giftcard. I working on my Amazon account moreso than anything else, so I'm waiting to get about 1,000 points more to cash out there for a Amazon gift card of $25. Garden, I could give you a few pointers, but it would take you some time. With what you're earning on mylot a month though, I think you could easily do them both.

Congrats! I had a slow month because I was out of town for two weeks and had a lot of stuff to do when I got back. My totals between checks and gift cards came to 120.50. Not too bad for only 2 weeks. I hope to get busy in the coming months so I can have some money for Christmas shopping. Good luck with your August earnings!

120.50 for two weeks isn't bad at all in my opinion. you could have easily doubled that if you sticked it out for the entire month. Stick with it.
