Get Paid Online -- Keeping Busy

No big paychecks so far this week, but that doesn't mean I haven't found plenty to keep me busy. I've been doing a bit a Mechanical Turk in my spare time, and I've got $2.76 in my account right now -- well on the way to the $9 or so I need to get a free book.

I've also done a few surveys at NFO MySurvey, and added about 100 points to my account. That brings my account total up to 6335 points, which converts to over $60 when I cash it in.

I know the reviews I published at ePinions are getting a bit of traffic, because they've been reviewed a couple times. The thing is, I forgot that reviews under 200 words are considered Express Reviews, which means they don't get normal ratings or tracking stats, and they don't earn Income Share. So that means I won't get paid for contributing them, but hopefully they'll help people make good purchasing decisions.

Adding Adsense to the blog has also starting bringing in a little money, so I'm going to spend some time learning more about Adsense and how to make it work better.

And I haven't forgotten that I said I was going to put together a new template, either. That's still on the To Do list, and I've had a little bit of practice by doing some extensive modifications to a Wordpress template for my wife. Working with Wordpress reminded me again how I wish I'd started FreeCashSpace as a Wordpress blog. Oh well.

There's plenty to do, so I guess I'd better get busy doing it!
