I must say I was pleasantly surprised to have reached a new milestone as of today. After being on vacation with hubby for 10 days, and having no computer access, I wasn't sure that I would have seen any increases in my online earnings. Because I was curious, I did a spreadsheet to compare my earnings prior to starting vacation and after coming back. If you're familiar with my profile link, you know I keep a list of my earnings, payouts and referrals for the sites I'm active in. I used this list to do my comparison and was surprised to see an increase of almost $36 in earnings, $35 in actual payouts, and an increase of 32 referrals among my various "get paid to" sites. Where the milestone comes in is in the actual payouts column. My list now has over $1000 in payouts! I've been working to get more actual payout proofs posted, so it's interesting to watch the totals grow even though some sites earnings and payouts have been removed when sites are no longer available or when I decide not to participate anymore.
For anyone trying to earn some extra money online, I would highly recommend promoting your referral ids to build your downlines for your favorite programs. Building an active downline can really help earn some extra free money. I've already passed last years payouts of $490 and still have time to improve it before the end of the year. :)
How are you doing on actual payouts?

Thanks kykidd. They say it's because I'm a Virgo but it's much easier to keep track of details with a computer instead of pen & paper, lol. :)

Thanks andben. I have a large collection of sites I use to make extra money online, but I may not use each one every day. It depends on how much time I have available and what I'm interested in doing during that time. I try to stay organized and I have my sites saved to favorites folders so I can select just the ones I want to do quickly & easily. Knowing which ones are the best earners helps me make more if I only have an hour one day instead of a whole weekend but I try to get thru all of them every few weeks so I can maintain minimum activity requirements.

you are right that building an active downline can help earn some extra money for us. but most of us dont know exactly how is the right way to build up an active referall. it would be difficult to start if we dont know anything about it. would you share information in here how to build active referal?

When I got started a few years ago, I was working 5 days a week too, but as you point out, every extra penny helps, especially when they keep building. In the early days, I only participated in the evenings and on the weekends. I have more time available now, so I've expanded the number of sites I participate in. Many of them have been surprisingly helpful. :)

Congratulations! How nice for you.
As for my payouts, well not so much. And now something's got into my machine and QuickTime refuses to run so I can't play over at Netwinner. Wah! I got to play Banko once and was lucky enough to win 5000 points on one game.

WTG! That's excellent! I'm sure you want to play more now, lol. Have you tried to restore from a previous savepoint? When I play netwinner it's usually flash that's used, so I'm not sure if quicktime is the problem.

Well, I updated my browser yesterday and now everything's different but the reason I think it's a QuickTime problem is because instead of the expected image I get the QuickTime symbol in it's place. I tried downloading an update for QT but it hasn't helped. Maybe if I uninstall it and then reinstall from the disk instead of downloading it...

This is the only pay site I use and I am not doing very well. I have 15 in my downline, but only 1 that actually participates.

Don't feel bad, I have 12 MyLot referrals with only one active on a regular basis. I took a look at your profile page and can suggest another site you should be able to earn from. I see you like playing games at Pogo, but have you ever tried NetWinner? I joined just over a year ago and have already earned $319 from playing their free games. The nice thing is that I've already received $250 in payouts. Let me know if you're interested in adding to your make money sites. :)
