The New MyPoints Frogpond

MyPoints has introduced a new point earning opportunity, the MyPoints Frogpond. So what is this new Frogpond? It's a fun and easy way to earn more points by surfing select web sites and then giving your review of those web sites for others to read. For each featured site that you review, you receive 25 points. Not bad for a few minutes of your time!

I'm back, finally!

Shortly after my last post, I gave birth to another little peanut. Life has been somewhat crazy around here ever since. We've had two birthdays (with numerous b-day parties), a baptism, visits from out of town relatives, and lots of sickness. Unfortunately, this hasn't given me much time to devote to my work at home endeavors, but things are finally winding down and I'm hopeful that I will soon be able to return to my money making pursuits with renewed enthusiasm. In some ways it was good to take a break from writing and survey taking. But it was sad not to see the money rolling in! So I'm beginning once again. Yesterday I submitted an article to Associated Content which is now pending approval, and I wrote another eHow article this morning. My goal is to write at least one article every day, while simultaneously keeping up with all paid emails and survey requests. We'll just have to see how well I can keep up. Luckily getting regular paychecks in the mail helps keep me motivated!

Lightspeed Panel is Worthwhile

I just recently cashed out $30 from Lightspeed Panel and would recommend trying them if you are interested in taking free online paid surveys. They offer many survey opportunities, and also many different rewards. You can chose between a number of different products or take the cash which is paid through PayPal. The payments are timely and the effort required to earn the money is well worth your time. Check it out at: http://us.lightspeedpanel.com/US/public/index.us

Busy Building My Article Library

I've taken a little break from blogging over the past couple of weeks to spend time with some out of town relatives and to work on building up my article library. I hope to begin adding more info soon regarding my success with various income generating online avenues. I have been focused on eHow recently and am happy to report that my income steadily increases each month. I do plan to buy an ebook about increaing my eHow earnings in the near future, so that I can truly get the most out of the site. I have found limited success with my own venture into finding proper keywords to use in my articles. I would like to know more about search engine optimization. I am new at all this, and although there is plenty of free information available, it's scattered here, there and everywhere making it difficult to piece together. Thus the need to read a concise book about the matter. I'll let you know if it helps.

American Consumer Opinion Panel

A legitimate, reliable free survey company is American Consumer Opinion Panel. It is BBB approved and worth signing up for if you aren't already a member. You won't get a ton surveys from here, but when you do, they are generally high paying and don't take too long. They often send free products in the mail for you to sample for a certain length of time, and then you are required to take a brief survey of your experience. To sign up, click on the link on the side of the blog. You won't be disappointed!

Join Bukisa and Earn Money for Your Articles

Bukisa is another revenue sharing site where you are able to publish your own content and make money for doing so. Unlike eHow, you earn money in several ways not just from ad clicks. Your articles make money simply from page views regardless of whether or not anyone clicks on the ads. You can also refer other writers to the site, and you earn a percentage of their profits as well. I've only written one article here so far, but I hope to add more in the coming months. Feel free to check out the site. Join here: http://www.bukisa.com/join/4297

Beware of AW Surveys

If you are exploring the survey scene, you will want to stay clear of AW Surveys. They claim to give you lots of high paying surveys and offer a referral bonus for getting your friends to sign up. They have a $75 minimum payout (which in my opinion is just way too high) and it takes FOREVER to reach it, since they only offer you one $1 survey per month. Even if you do reach the $75 mark, they do not pay as promised. I have read this a number of different places now and recently had it confirmed from a very reliable source. Bottom line: Don't waste your time with AW Surveys!!!
