For my online and app earnings rec'd this past week.....

**$25 amazon from Swagbucks 
**$2 to my Perk Plastik card from PerkTV  (use code 860efbf6 for bonus points for signing up)
**$27.36 check from Inboxdollars
**$2.43 from Promoslice --  This is a site where traffic exchange owners go in together to offer promos.  Most all of them have 1 or 2 "grand" prizes and then an amount that is shared between each entry.  I really enjoy doing these knowing that I am guaranteed something extra over what I am earning at the exchanges as well.  However, there are a LOT of exchanges that take part and most of you (my readers) don't want to be like me and join hundreds of exchanges to take part in these promos.  I love it, but it's not for everyone.
**$9.26 PayPal (after fees) from the Watch4Dollar app.  This was a long time coming, over a month.  They posted of being behind due to so many cash ins.  I'm glad they did pay, this is my 2nd payment from them.  If you would like to give them a try, please put in the code W4D4AFC8 so that I receive credit.
**$3 amazon from mypoints.

Online Earnings June and July 2016

June was sure a bleak earning month.  I use the excuse that I was gone part of it on the mission trip with no internet or mobile data.  That's really just an excuse though.

Zubeezone-- $5.60 paypal
Swagbucks--$25 amazon
PerkTV-- $10 amazon
Pinecone research-- $10 paypal
Instantcashsweepstakes--$2 paypal
Empowr-- $12.65

This totals just $66.38.  I spent $38.33 total on upgrades with some traffic exchanges bringing my net down to only $28.05 for the month  :(

I sold a few of my early quilts which I ended with $63.59 profit for Gifts Galore and More (which I call myself).  However, I realized that there are things that I have bought for "business" that I've not thought to write down over the year such as my new sewing machine, bobbins, cutter blades, thread, and batting.  Now I'm lost on how to know a true figure for the business side of my earnings.

If I add the $63.59 then I made $91.64 in June.


For July it looked a little better:

Atomicmailer-- $16.57 paypal
zubeezone-- $5.39 paypal
squirlytraffic-- $5.39 paypal
chatabout-- $5 paypal
swagbucks-- $25 paypal and $25 amazon
mylot-- $6.96 paypal
rabadaba-- $13.78 paypal
perktv-- $10 amazon
pinecone research--$3 paypal
lucktastic-- $5 amazon
apptrailers -- $1.03 paypal

This totals $121.87.  I had a total of $40.38 paid out in upgrades making my net $81.49 for the month.
For Gifts Galore and More I had a profit of $4.74 which takes my earnings to $86.23.


I have bee rethinking upgrades on the traffic exchanges.  Some I have cancelled, some I am keeping for now.  I did add 2 more.  Here are the banners for the traffic exchanges that I am currently upgraded with:























I have lifetime upgrades in zubeedownlines, redstagmailer, bigfootmailer, and redstaghits. The rest I do pay a monthly upgrade fee.


Happy Surfing, and here is to more and more earnings online for all!

Online Earnings May 2016

I am up in earnings from what April was, and June will be interesting to add up since I will be gone on the mission trip with no mobile data or internet while I'm gone.  Yep, it's going to be interesting!

I'm still waiting payment on 3 of the 4 websites that I noted about in last months post.  It might just be a lost cause at this point and time to stop surfing those.    I will do some heavy thinking and soul searching while on the mission trip away from technology.

In May I was paid by:
Apptrailers-- $2.43 paypal
http://bit.ly/uWgfNi  (if you sign up, bonus code predictableuranus2 for bonus points)

zubeezone $3.10


swagbucks-- $25 amazon and $25 paypal

You Can Get Free Gift Cards For Shopping, Searching and Discovering What's Online at Swagbucks.com

redstaghits-- $11.86 paypal


mylot--$1.82 paypal

magicaljourneydownlinebuilder--  $7.95 paypal


TESufSocial -- $14.71 paypal


squirlytraffic-- $5.37 paypal


postmanhits -- $9.45 paypal


redstagmailer-- $13.70 paypal


lucktastic -- $5 amazon


These come to a total of $125.39.  After subtracting $36.39 that I paid in upgrades my total comes to $89.00.

Can I top $89 in June even though I am gone for 8 days?  It's a personal challenge to myself to do so!

Until next month, Happy Earning!

April 2016 Online Earnings

Finally getting around to sharing what I was paid last month from various websites and apps.
I can't say that I'm happy with the lack of earning and I am looking at some different things this month.  I guess all I can say is wish me luck!

I rec'd earnings from:
squirlytraffic -- $4.89 paypal
PerkTV -- $10 amazon  Use my code 860efbf6 and get 50 bonus points and an online friend told me just yesterday that you can now watch videos online too.  I did that this morning and it was easy!
Pinecone Research -- $5 amazon
Swagbucks -- $25 paypal and $25 amazon
apptrailers -- $3.78 paypal  if you sign up, bonus code predictableuranus2 for bonus points
zubeezone -- $5.27 paypal
redstaghits -- $14.62 paypal
Trafficmagician -- $10.13 paypal

This comes to a total of $103.69.  After a total of $37.48 paid in upgrades in TESurfSocial, squirlytraffic, hotflashhits, orbitaltraffic, postmanhits, admasterplus, zubeedownlines, and trafficswirl, my take was $66.21 for the month.

I want to note that I chose to buy credits with $4.95 of my earnings with hotflashhits.
Also that I am waiting on payments from 4 sites that should have paid me some time ago.  I will be putting in support tickets, so as I said before, wish me luck.  Getting paid by them will shoot the earnings up for this month.

As far as selling my crafts and used books, I had a profit of $10.97 for the month. This takes my earnings online for the month to $77.18

March 2016 Online Earnings

Earnings are supposed to be getting better each month, but March was not good at all.  I report as monies are received, not just cashed out.
I do have 4 cash outs that should have been in, but still aren't.

In March I rec'd:

Swagbucks -- $25 paypal and $25 amazon
zubeezone -- $4.95 paypal
apptrailers -- $4.44 paypal (if you sign up, bonus code predictableuranus2 for bonus points)

redstaghits -- $24.59 paypal

clixsense -- $7.85 paypal
lucktastic -- $5 amazon
PerkTV - $5 amazon (if you join, please use my referral code-- 860efbf6 and get 50 bonus points)

This only comes to $101.33, and when you subtract the total of $34.57 that I paid out in site upgrades, it brings my total down to a sad $66.76 for the month.  I need this figure to be about 4 times that amount!

I am doing some things differently now such as getting ads out regularly in the mailers I am doing.
The other thing is that I must get to taking care of my crafts--making them, listing them for sale, and promoting them.

I sold a book last month in half.com and I sold some dishscrubbies in the online craft mall.  Both of those had expense for shipping, but I did not receive payment until this month.
I also sold a rug in my etsy store, however, a lot of my etsy listings re-listed so by the time I paid the shipping for the book and scrubbies, shipping on the rug, and the etsy fees, I only came how with a profit of $4.93 for the month.

Add the $4.93 to the $66.76 and my in pocket earnings for the month were $71.69.  Wish me luck for this figure to be a LOT better in April.

Frugal Friday With Marsha--Week in Review

It's been a pretty normal busy week around our house.    Our family night out included going to the music program that my 3rd grade granddaughter, Willo, was in.  They did a good job and the music was good.  If you are a member of tsu, I did share a photo there.

A blessing happened this week.  I received my box of Renuzit items in for review and inside I was one of the lucky winners of a $50 Visa card!  I am saving this back to help me pay for most of the quilt retreat I am attending at the end of April.  

Yesterday when I was going down the topics in chatabout I ran across Freebie Pictures as a topic.  I hope to get to sending for more freebies to add to the items that I get in for review.  I did send for some Centrum vitamin samples this week and you will find that link shared in my tsu as well.  This week for review I received the 3 Renuzit products as well as some all natural shampoo and conditioner. ( I plan to have my Renuzit post up tomorrow with a giveaway where 3 winners will each win a free coupon)

I had hoped that the seeds that my daughter started for me last Friday would have sprouted in the 7 days, but not so far.  I have been spritzing them with water twice daily.  Here is what the kitchen window looks like so far.  We can plant outside around the first of April.

I picked up my free Take 5 candy bar from the Dillon's Friday freebie.  If you have a Kroger store in your area, make sure to get your free item each week.  This week the freebie is Kroger Greek yogurt and I just added it to my card and my mom's card.

I used some of my amazon earnings to order cat food and black ink for our printer.  The cat food came in just on the day that I fed the cats the last of what was in the container.  I will be sharing the various places where I earn amazon in my February earnings post in early March.

That's about it for this week.  I look forward to seeing what comes about this week.

Frugal Friday With Marsha--I Remember When.......

I remember when......
I was so excited to finally get the internet.  Seems like a lifetime ago back in 1996.  I was having one of my refund conventions and some of the ladies who came were talking about all of the good coupons they were getting by emailing off to different companies.

You know what I did.  As soon as we had internet, I started searching companies such as Nabisco, Kraft, Kellogg's etc to try my hand at getting good coupons in the mail.

When I searched Kellogg's, a site came up in search.  I don't remember the name of the site, but you took fun little trivia tests to win points.  Points that were then traded for gift cards.  You guessed it, that was the start to my internet addiction----the addiction of earning online.

I find it hard to believe that was 20 years ago!  Things sure have changed in the earning department.
Back then and for several years, the earning was super fun.  By that I mean I was earning by playing games, not writing or doing traffic exchanges or paid to clicks.

I sure miss those days.  If there are any sites out there now that you can just have fun playing games (mahjong was always my favorite), I don't know about them.  Do you know of any??
Swagbucks did have mahjong and I was ending my day with 10 games there before bedtime.  Sadly, they have taken that away.  I play whatever the free play game of the day is for points at GSN cash games.  That's just a few points daily, so it takes a long time to actually be able to get a gift card.
There are also some games on GSN itself that are for points that I can play----it's just that they don't have gift cards in exchange for points other than trying to win them with points and I don't have luck at that.  They do sometimes have some other cool prizes like decks of cards or an umbrella, then there used to be a book of the week and DVD of the week.  I should check to see what there is and get back to relaxing more at bedtime with some games there.

Anything you can earn online helps.  I did get in the cat food and cat litter that I ordered from amazon.  Now to save up again.  I am truly in hopes of always having enough to order it there, but we also need ink for the printer.

Speaking of coupons----I have started to at least buy the Sunday paper each week again.  Today I am going to actually get those cut out, at least the ones for things I might be buying.  I also hope to start getting back to the groups where people share good deals as well.  Wish me luck!

I hope you've had a good week.

Frugal Friday With Marsha-- Earning Amazon

I've been thinking a lot lately about amazon, and happy that I have so many ways to earn it.  Many times it's saved me (or our cats) when it's all I had available to order cat food and cat litter.  Those 2 things are why it's on my mind lately......I will be getting most all of our cat food and cat litter through amazon now due to finances.
I'm an amazon prime member, and LOVE the free shipping!  If you order on any regular basis, the $99 yearly is well worth the price plus you can also stream movies and TV series as well as get free apps, music downloads, and kindle books as well. (I don't ever have $99 at one time so I do pay a bit more per year, paying $9.99 a month)

Years ago I ordered my very first laptop through amazon.  It was the most expensive item I've ever saved up for as it was over $400.

Another larger purchase was my tablet--


My latest larger purchase that I saved up for was this sewing machine--



Earning-----There are loads of ways to earn amazon and today I am going to share with you the different places that I am earning it.

Swagbucks--- This is where I earn most.   So many ways to earn with swagbucks (search, watch videos, shopping, codes, and so much more).  You earn SB which each SB is equal to 1 cent.  Once a month you can choose a $25 gift card at just 2200 SB, saving you 300 SB. (Then once a month I also redeem for $25 paypal for 2500 SB)

PerkTV---  PerkTV is the main app I use from this company, although I also have their word search app, scratch and win app, and screen lock apps on my phone as well.  With the main app, you watch videos to earn points.  There are many options available for cash out, but I choose amazon.  5000 pts is what I cash in at for $5. (Use the code 860efbf6 for 50 bonus points when signing up)

ReceiptHog-- This is an easy app, just scan your receipts and earn.  Also available to redeem for paypal. (Use the referral code flend875 to receive bonus spins on the slot machine)

Chatabout--- Easy to earn points chatting about topics that interest you, but also other earning opportunities such as the daily poll, entering a sweepstakes, watching videos and so much more.  Just 1000 pts for $5. (they also offer paypal)

Lucktastic---  If you like scratch off lottery tickets, you will love this app. Several choices to redeem, but I have gotten over $100 in amazon alone from this one.

Bing Rewards --  Search to earn points and trade them in for amazon or other gift cards.  Also other point earning opps each day.

Apptrailers --- free app to watch videos and earn.  Although I usually get paypal, I have also chosen to get amazon here as well.  (if you sign up, bonus code predictableuranus2 for bonus points)

Checkpoints--  Watch videos, check into stores, and scan items at the stores to earn with this free app.  Just 335 for $1 amazon and it's sent instantly.  (if you sign up, use code marsha32 for bonus points)

Pistol Packing Mama---  I even belong to this traffic exchange where amazon is an option to redeem, and that is what I will go for!  You earn by surfing websites of others (at the same time getting your own websites seen), putting in daily codes for extra earning each day, prize pages while surfing etc.


As I said, so many different ways to earn amazon online and with the apps, but these are the main ones that I use.  Happy Earning!

P.S. ---- When shopping through amazon, check programs you are already doing online to see if your purchase will earn you extra with that website. Most times it's a few categories only that you can earn for shopping from, but please check.
If there isn't an earning opportunity, it's always nice to order through someone's affiliate link and help them out to earn a bit as well.

If we all work together, our dreams can be achieved.

Online Earnings--November and December 2015

As you can imagine, December was a full and busy month with Christmas.  I'm very thankful for my online earnings, which enabled me to get gifts for all on my list.
I was slow to get my November earnings and such even added up, but finally have it done as well as December.

Trafficmagician--$11.27 paypal

Upgrades paid-- $2 trafficbrowser, $2.99 orbitaltraffic, $27.00 bannermagician (this is a lifetime upgrade so will never be paid again), $2.50 hotflashhits, $6.90 postmanhits, $2.50 zubeedownlines, $6.99 trafficmagician, and $5.95 TESurfSocial for a total of $56.83.

This brings my net to $121.93 for December.

hhmmm--even if I hadn't chosen to go for the lifetime top upgrade at bannermagician I still would have earned less in December than November.

Looking back over the year and my monthly earnings online, it looks like January and February of 2015 were my biggest earning months.  A LOT has changed in the past year.

I did get both my etsy shop and my zibbet store up and running again.  I even had some sales.  Unfortunately, I don't have those figures put together yet.  That will add on to my earnings for both months.    I also sold a book at half.com and am working to add a book for sale here and there to add to my inventory there.

Here is looking on to 2016!!

Frugal Friday With Marsha 2/27/15

Just one more day left in February.  In some ways it seems to have flown by.  I can't wait for Spring.

Speaking of Spring, have you started your Spring cleaning yet?  I'm reading online different places that many have.  I keep commenting back to them that when they are done, they can come to my house next.

I went to a meeting Monday morning and on the way gas was still $2.18 a gallon.  When I got out of the meeting at noon, it had jumped to $2.29 :(  It's holding steady there.  When I put gasoline in my mom let me use her Plus card to get 10 cents off a gallon.  That helped.  I never use our gas points because I let hubby use them when he gases up.   I WISH they wouldn't combine our cards just because we live in the same house and are married.  I would much rather know that points on my card are from money that I spent at the store and the points on his card are his.
Sometimes we go together to gas and gas both vehicles on the same pump.  That's not happened for some time though.

I used all of my amazon credit this past week ordering myself 2 slow cookers.  I have several recipes that I want to make and our 6 qt slow cooker is just too large for them.
I LOVE the fact that I can earn amazon through PerkTV (code 860efbf6 will earn you 50 bonus points) and Swagbucks and Checkpoints (use bonus code marsha32 on sign up)!
Here are the ones that I ordered:
