Get Paid Online by Keeping Busy

Lots going on over the weekend and into the new week. Most of the weekend was spent doing research for the online business my wife and I started last year. It's been more of a hobby than anything else, but it's taught us a lot, and brought in a few dollars, so we're happy with it and looking to expand this year.

After that was all done, there was a bit of time for "Get Paid" stuff, including beginning to catch up on all the unread paid emails sitting in my inbox, requesting a few payments -- from Classical-Mail ($0.50), DonkeyMails ($0.98), GainSeek ($1.28), and PolarPTR ($0.89). Of the 4, Polar has already paid me!

I also spent a bit of time doing a few traffic exchanges, not only to build up a few credits, but also to see if there were any new trends in what's being advertised on them. I started with ShareAdSpace, ClickCrazey, ClickVoyager, and DeepSeaHits and will try to get to some of the others tomorrow.

I completed a survey for NFO MySurvey and earned 75 points, which puts my weekly total up to 170 (worth $1.70) and the total in my account to 6410 (worth $64.10). I've decided that when the total hits $70, I'm going to request payment.

And with only 6 HITs still pending, I've got a total of $4.80 in Amazon Mechanical Turk account!

And I've got $6.75 in my ePinions account that I'll cash out when I hit $10.

And if that's not enough to keep me busy, I'm still reading a lot of blogs, eBooks, etc. about ways to make money online, and working on plans to put some of those ideas into action.
