Payments This Week

I think I'll try to make these payment updates a regularly weekly thing. This week, they included:

ItPaysToLearn: $0.26
ClassicalMail: $0.50
MailingMoney4U: $3.02
Total: $3.78

The payment from IPTL was for verifying my PayPal account. I sent them $0.01, they sent me back $0.26 -- and now they know I have a valid PayPal account, and that at least according to PayPal, I am who I say I am. Win-win.

The payment from ClassicalMail was for about 2 weeks 'work'. Most, if not all, of the ads they send are for fairly useless PPC search engines, and at one point there was talk that they wouldn't pay members who weren't doing enough valid searches. If I find out that's true, I'll quit, but so far they've paid me quickly, with no hassles.

And finally, the payment from MM4U has been a looooong time coming. I joined this program on 9 April, 2003 and finally earned enough to request payment this week. It took me 8 months to earn the last dollar I needed to request a $3 payment. I was paid quickly and courteously, and then I deleted my account. Nothing against MM4U or it's owner, but it just wasn't for me.

I've still go a few other payment requests pending, and hopefully I'll receive the payments in the next couple of weeks. I'm also only 10 cents short of the $25 minimum balance needed to request a payment from PureProfile, and I've been getting heaps of surveys from them, so it shouldn't take long before they deposit another payment into my bank account. They've really picked up lately, and for the last 4 months, I've been averaging earnings of around $5.50 for doing 3 or 4 surveys each month. Sweet!
