$200 Million by the numbers

The digital rewards Swagbucks just hit a major milestone – they have given their members over $200 million in cash and free gift cards since 2008! 

I use Swagbucks all the time to get free gift cards doing stuff I already do online, like shopping, answering surveys, watching videos, discovering great deals, and searching the web. 

To demonstrate how big a number 200 million really is, here are some fun facts:

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

February 2016 Online Earnings

I have February tallied up.  I did do better in February than I did in January.  Now I just need to keep increasing the amount each month.

In February I received:

Viral traffic Games -- $9.83 paypal
PerkTV --$5 amazon (Use my code 860efbf6 and get 50 bonus points)
ReceiptHog -- $5 paypal  (use flend875 for the referral code for bonus spins)
Bing Rewards -- $5 amazon
Postmanhits -- $10.02 paypal
Lucktastic -- $5 amazon
viewpointforum -- $10 check
TrafficDynamite -- $18.00 paypal
Swagbucks  -- $25 amazon $50 paypal
TEPromos -- $4.62 paypal
AtomicMailer -- $13.44 paypal
Magical Journey Downline Builder -- $4.55 paypal
apptrailers -- $4.62 paypal (if you sign up, bonus code predictableuranus2 for bonus points)
zubeezone $3.21 paypal
squirlytraffic -- $5.32 paypal
TrafficMagician -- $13.74 paypal
Social Insiders  -- $50 Visa gift card

This comes to a total of $242.35

I paid out upgrades--$2.99 for Orbital traffic, $3.74 for squirly traffic, $2.50 for hotflashhits, $6.90 for postmanhits, $6.99 for traffic magician, and $2.50 for zubeedownlines.  I also joined chalkboard ads for a $1 lifetime.  I also chose to take the one time offers of $37 for lifetime on the first upgrades at redstagmailer and bigfootmailer.  
These come to a total of $100.62 of which $75 of it will never be paid again.

This takes my total to $141.73 for the month.

January I only ended up with $105.57 'in my pocket', so this is a good improvement.  Like I said, I want to see what's in my pocket continue to increase each month!

If you ever have any questions regarding my earning online, please don't hesitate to email me or you can contact me through the Wow app chat too!

Frugal Friday with Marsha--January 2016 Online Earnings

For me to share my online earnings for the previous month is not what I normally would ever share in my Frugal Friday post, but things what they are right now, so here you go.

In January I received from:

Redstaghits--$38.87 paypal
Zubeezone--$2.80 paypal
Apptrailers--$5.72 paypal (if you sign up, bonus code predictableuranus2 for bonus points)

Swagbucks--$25 paypal and $25 amazon

Hausernet--$51.75 (back payment for 6 months of mail)
PerkTV--$5 amazon (Use my code 860efbf6 and get 50 bonus points)

My list is so short and sure feels like I surely forgot to record something, but I didn't!
My total received in January was $154.14.

I paid out $17 to TrafficBrowser ($2 monthly but then I changed and paid $15 for a year so that I can surf 12 traffic exchanges at once instead of 10), $2.99 to Orbital Traffic, $3.74 to Squirly traffic, $2.50 to Hotflashhits, $6.90 to Postmanhits, $2.50 to Zubeedownlines, $6.99 to TrafficMagician, and $5.95 to TESurfSocial for upgrades.  This come to a total of $48.57.

This brings my total to just $105.57 for the month.

I've always had a goal of taking in a total of $600 for the month and this included retail pricing of items I receive free--samples, magazine subscriptions, items I get in for review etc.
I slacked off and haven't been keeping track of those things for several months.  From this day on I am going to start keeping track of that again and adding it to my total again.
I will try to come back and edit this post once I get a list of the items I got in January as well.

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.

November 2015:

Swagbucks-- $60 in amazon
TrafficRoyal--$23.72 paypal
zubeezone--$2.75 paypal
atomicmailer--$12.52 paypal
clixsense--$8.35 paypal
TrafficMagician--$16.68 paypal
redstaghits--$11.46 paypal
postmanhits--$9.62 paypal
redstagmailer--$13.73
PerkTV--$20 amazon (if you sign up, use code 860efbf6 and get 50 bonus points)
Lucktastic-- $10 amazon
apptrailers--$1.15 paypal (if you sign up, bonus code predictableuranus2 for bonus points)

GSN--$10 amazon

This totals $199.38

Upgrades paid---$2 trafficbrowser, $2.99 orbitaltraffic, $6.95 redstagmailer, $2.50 hotflashhits, $6.90 postmanhits, $2.50 zubeedownlines, $5.95 TESurfSocial, and $6.99 trafficmagician for a total of $36.78 there.

This brings my net to $162.66 for November.


December 2015:

Zubeezone-- $5.10 paypal
PurexInsiders -- $50 amazon (gift)
mycokerewards--$10 amazon
redstaghits--$11.03 paypal
apptrailers-- $4.57 paypal
swagbucks --$25 paypal and $13 amazon
shopkick- $2 Target
trafficteams--$19.70 paypal
atomicmailer--$13.09 paypal
PerkTV-- $10 amazon
Checkpoints--$3 amazon (if you sign up, use code marsha32 for bonus points)

Trafficmagician--$11.27 paypal

This totals $178.76

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!!

Online Earnings October 2015

Here are the places I received money or gift cards from in October:

zubeezone-- $4.70 paypal
redstaghits-- $36.22 paypal
swagbucks -- $25 amazon and $25 paypal
magical journey downline builder-- $4.55 paypal
apptrailers -- $4.50 paypal (if you sign up, bonus code predictableuranus2 for bonus points)

trafficmagician -- $14.51 paypal

perkTV -- $25 amazon (Use my code 860efbf6 and get 50 bonus points. )

This totals $139.48, which sadly is less than my net last month.  That sure hurts my goal.
The upgrades that I have at redstagmailer, postmanhits, trafficmagician and zubeedownlines comes to a total of $30.29 for the month.
This takes my net online earnings to $109.19.

This must improve!  I started doing a lot more this month in the way of  joining different traffic exchanges.  I'm joining more to take part more in the VTG games. (I need to write a whole post on VTG some day)  I even upgraded at traffic browser for the lowest $2 a month to be able to surf 10 traffic exchanges at once instead of 7.  This is getting more done.
I'm still working on this and will continue to do so.

In the meantime, I also am working on my crafts again and will soon have my etsy store open again.

Until next month....Happy Earning!

April Earnings Goal

I have wasted 2 hours this evening attempting to post this over on gather.  I decided to post it to my blog instead  :)


I never got around to sharing my February earnings and had planned on sharing February along with March's earnings.  I'm not going to go into detail about either month, but feel free to ask if you would like to know.

If you remember in January I had my best month for earning in a very long time with a total of $313.31 earned for the month.  This included $50 pay for cleaning my church.
Well, I'm sad to report that February and March earnings combined was only $258.70.   wow...that's sad!  This includes $80 for cleaning my church.

There are a a couple of reasons---one being that my life has been chaos with things going on, lots that took me away from home and away from the computer.  Two being that my computer is suffering with issues of the pop-unders and slowness.

My goal this month is to either redeem or receive pay every single day of the month.  If I have tracked it as a redemption and get paid, I don't plan to count the day that I receive it, but will if that becomes necessary to meet my goal of daily.  I will also being counting any days that I get an order through my etsy store, half.com, etc in on the goal as well.

I am starting out here on April 1 with a redemption of $3.20 paypal with easyhits4U.

Wish me luck!

Malbox Monday January 9, 2012

New year, new year of tracking freebies rec'd in the mail.  I added up my 2011 freebies total and come up with $1.397.56 (bear in mind this doesn't count free coupons that I won or rec'd as they are in my coupons used total).  Can I beat this total in 2012??  I better get busy sending for things if I expect to.  Obviously I've been lax is sending for things.
It was a pretty slow week again:
Magazines: Time, People, Sports Illustrated, Entertainment Weekly, Ok!, and Good Housekeeping
Just a few pieces of hausernet mail
Michigan Bulb catalog
address labels and stickers inside a Kansas Tree Survey
Gardening cards trying to sell me more of them

I sure don't feel like I got much this week---I did get 5 Christmas cards this past week, 4 of them from gather members.  Thank you very much. They aren't pictured.

Join the National Consumer Panel!
I rec'd my autoship from Jerky Direct, which is paid for by my downline.
I also rec'd Purex Crystals and  Jockey bra for review and giveaway in January on my blog.

In my email I rec'd: $5 amazon from superpoints, $5 amazon from crowdtap, $4.55 paypal from blogservices, and $7.29 paypal from squidoo.   (the paypal and the Jockey and Purex made my week other than the Christmas cards!)

In my email this week was an order from my etsy store.

Mailbox Monday 11/21/11
