Money Earning Websites: An Update

Occasionally I post articles about my money earning sites with rants, updates, or questions.  This is another one of those.  First I'd like to discuss Bzzagent.  I'm still a little upset with them.  I enjoy getting free stuff, but the rewards to redeem my points for aren't working for me.  I submitted a bzzreport Sunday morning this week, and I still have not heard a thing about it.  It was my first report for a campaign and I was hoping to get it back quickly so I could FINALLY cash in for a reward.  Well, by Wednesday morning all the good rewards were gone.  I don't think I'm ever going to be able to cash in my points which irritates me a little bit.  Secondly, let's talk about Netwinner.  I had seen an article saying that someone was earning more points since they switched, and you have only 10 banko cards and 100 money wheel spins.  I decided just to head back over there and try that out again.  I'm having the same luck I always have.  I've won nothing!  Maybe some people are just luckier than I, but it's really not worth it for me.  Thirdly, epinions.com is still having their 10 reviews for $10 promotion.  They started in back in December and every month keep extending it.  I would encourage you to go over to that site and check it out if you have not.  I'm really doing well over there (but running out of things to review.)  My question for you is what website do you get the most at other than Gather?  Tell us a little about it.

I'm with you, I love the free stuff from Bzz but the rewards SUCK!
DIANE D. Apr 6, 2008, 8:38am EDT
Thanks for posting!

I wouldn't worry much about BzzAgent. I find I'm happy just getting the things to Bzz. I did send for a Troll though. I thought it was cute. Aside from Gather, I do Bzz, Boomertowne, I dabble with Netwinner from time to time when I'm really bored, targetrounders, zoompanel, harrispolls, mypoints, creationrewards,webridestv, and have recently started tryingout swagbucks. I'm sure there is more I haven't thought about that I belong to, but none of these seem to give me more than another, I just take whatever they give me. Soon, I will be trying out Points2Shop, but before I can do that, I have to find a place where I can be near a phone because they confirm you're real with an automated phone call when you sign up, so I've heard, but I've also heard they are a quick earning site and never call you again. Epinions sounds inviting, but I don't think I'd have the time, or patience to write 10 reviews about anything.

AC and Boomertown are the two I get the most from. Dont do any of the sites you mentioned.
Besides gather, I just really do Boomertowne, MyPoints & some survey sites.
Cheryl W. Apr 6, 2008, 10:50am EDT
The two I get the most from are Associated Content and Boomertowne...
Trish A. Apr 6, 2008, 11:32am EDT
I do Boomertowne and still do my spins on Netwinner just slowly adding points. Every little bit helps. I still have points to cash in on Webrides but they only reload their prizes twice a month and they're gone before I can get to them. I will be patient, I want to get a $50 gc for Amazon. Afterall we have a grandbaby coming and every child needs books!

I've only done 2 campaigns at Bzzagent but haven't been able to cash in my rewards. Still, the free stuff was great so I can't complain. I like Mypoints a lot. You get points just for clicking on emails and if you purchase stuff from merchants through their site you get points for each dollar spent.

golds g. Apr 6, 2008, 3:14pm EDT
thanks for all your comments by my articles

I found Bzzagent to be mostly a waste of time and frustrating. I hope you provide further updates. Maybe things have changed since I tried it briefly. The best experience we had was getting a free night in a hotel, with kids. It was like getting a break from the usual routine, plus I didn't have to cook ;) Free breakfast, too.
Jo C. Apr 6, 2008, 3:23pm EDT
As for websites, I get paid at some others for articles I write. It isn't high finance but it pays for many meals.
Mark N. Apr 6, 2008, 3:51pm EDT
I'm just here but Marilyn does Boomertowne, though she just started there, I think someone from here told her about it.
She's also done Bzz and never been able to cash in for anything but we've gotten free stuff. She's sick of that one too.
Kelly M. Apr 6, 2008, 3:54pm EDT
I love Bzz agent, but I have never cashed out - and I haven't had new campaign in awhile.. I also visit Mylot. I cashed out on Netwinner - but it took MONTHS to get my gift card.
Lee W. Apr 6, 2008, 4:40pm EDT
I do BzzAgent, Netwinner, BoomerTowne, Mypoints, Moola, LuckySearch, Squidoo, Winzy, Global Opinion Panel, MySurvey
Denise B. Apr 6, 2008, 7:06pm EDT
I only gather
Valerie Roars Apr 6, 2008, 9:17pm EDT
When BzzAgent first started, I did VERY well there....not anymore.
BoomerTowne is by far the best for me now - it's an easy $100 in Target cards each month :) And I enjoy it and the people I have met there!

I love bzzagent, but I don't consider it a freebie site. I have received an i-pod, stainless steel bread box and several cooking gadgets as rewards. The campaigns are what are really worth it, especially the Sonicare I got a few months ago.

I have stopped Netwinner. Takes too long to receive the gift cards. I still do bzzagent and have received some great items to trial and buzz. Boomertowne, MyLot and Gather are the sites I visit on a daily basis.

Besides Gather, I am on Boomertowne(I am stagequeen08 over there) and that's all I can handle right now!
Dagmara H. Apr 6, 2008, 11:42pm EDT
I am doing some survey site, but just started so don't know how it will go. I was thinking about netwinner, since everyone is taking about how great they are, but how you said it probably depends on the luck and I got other better things to do, than just wasting my time.
Amy B. Apr 7, 2008, 3:16pm EDT
I like Boomertowne a lot, since I know what I have to do to get gift cards. Other than that, I am still getting into Gather!
April H. Apr 7, 2008, 7:00pm EDT
Once I actually got in on time to order a great baking set from Bzzagent and they cancelled it! They gave me a bunch of extra points to make up for it, but what good are they if you can't spend them?
April H. Apr 7, 2008, 7:00pm EDT
But I stick with them for the samples you get when you bzz!
I logged on to bzzagent today and saw this:

The old rewards system is gone for good (and for better). Don't worry if you didn't get to use your BzzPoints before now. Starting soon, you'll be able to fully enjoy all of your points.

Our new and improved rewards system is on the way. Be on the lookout for more details around the site!

I agree that NetWinner takes FOREVER!!
Tom M. Apr 8, 2008, 7:35am EDT
My wife got me into Gather and Boomertowne. However, I spend most of my time writing for people directly. I also sell blog posts for promoting websites on some of my blogs and make an average of about $500 to $600 a month doing that.
golds g. Apr 8, 2008, 1:49pm EDT
bt still is the best
Sherry W. Apr 9, 2008, 6:41pm EDT
AC: I like it ok, but they pay SO little. Performance bonus is good, though.
BT: Good one.
Netwinner: UGH. Word to what you said.
BzzAgent: I've never tried to cash in. Have a bunch of points there. Got a bunch of free OJ coupons in the mail from them today so DH will be happy. So, I'm happy.
Epinions: Do I have your ID over there? I'm adamandsherry.

Check out Helium.com.
Carol P. May 13, 2008, 10:30am EDT
Can someone explain how Boomertowne works? I signed up but I keep reading where you can make money...how??
~*~ tinksmagic ~*~ ~ Jun 24, 2008, 9:21pm EDT
I love that Bzzagent converted over to MyPoints, that was much more beneficial to me. Just wish I had participated more. I am beyond ticked with Netwinner. They can't possibly be making money and that's why they haven't paid out.
Misty Reynolds Sep 23, 2008, 7:26am EDT
i see that this is an old site so i geuss you all know that bt stinks and that bzzagents is a great place to earn points on mypoints now
Tom D. Nov 23, 2008, 3:57pm EST
I earn some money on a paid to search website! If you want too please send me message so you can join under me - that would be great!
