8 years later... a progress update

Wow, it's been over 8 years since I setup this blog, and if I'm completely honest, I'd forgotten it existed!

Revisiting it, it looks like things have changed a lot since my last post, and hence the need to update things here.

The shutdown of Liberty Reserve meant that I lost a large proportion of the money I had earned through pay-to-click sites etc... This encouraged me to revisit my approach, and work out what to spend my time on, to ensure I was getting back to my principle of earning money with low risk, but additionally low effort.

I now keep it simple:

Search Lotto - This site basically pays you to use the Yahoo Search engine. It is branded under Search Lotto, but is Yahoo results, with the advertising revenue coming back to you. They pay in the form of Lottery tickets, either UK National Lottery or EuroMillions. I've not won a lot yet, but a few of my syndicates entries have won, and I've been paid out for these direct to my bank account. This is a simple one to do that doesn't cost any extra time to take part in.

YouTube - Over the last few years, I've created some YouTube videos on topics I'm passionate about (my car, and nerdy computer tips mainly!). This hasn't earned me a lot, but it all adds up!

Website Adverts - I maintain a few websites (ever less), that (like this one), have adverts running on them. Again, we're not talking large money, but a payment of £50-60 from Google every now and then is a nice thing!

Investing nothing to get something

If its ok with you, I might just share a new challenge I'm putting on myself. I've got a small amount invested at http://passiveprofits.net/ . Darwin, the Admin at Passive Profits, is a really decent chap, very honest and hard working. This said, the HYIP market that he uses to make his community money, is all over the place at the moment, so my $55 isn't growing much! But that's no problem, this is "fun money", I'm investing for enjoyment here, not need. So the latest challenge....as the title may suggest, I'm going to make something (equal to my input into Passive Profits...so $55) out of nothing...zip....zero...$0. Well, it's all for fun, so I'm once again going to be putting my money into the HYIP world...and frankly may well never see it again...but hey! This is for fun! Oh, that little bit about starting with zero....that's right....I'm going to make my money from these silly sites that give you free money for surveys, registratio

Get paid to use Yahoo Search Engine!

Wow, well I knew one of these days that I'm come across a good money maker that I'd missed. Well this is that moment. Rather tragically, I came across MySearchFunds.com some years back and ignored it (I forget why, but I wasn't on my quest for money making ideas back then). Well MySearchFunds.com, which has now changed its name to Homepage Friends (a rather naff name change if you ask me), pays you to search the web. This used to be through Google, but they have recently switched over to Yahoo as their search provider. But nothing really changes. You goto your search page (set as your homepage for ease) e.g. mine is: http://www.myhpf.co.uk/mypage.asp?OrgID=87564 All the then have to do is use the search box to search with Yahoo. The results are no different to Yahoo's normal results, and you end up with about 2.4p (that's about $0.048) per search. At the rate I'm going, I'll have about £250 ($500) this year from the site... that makes my quest for

Bitcoin faucet - Cointiply review

Well I didn't think I'd be back here talking about faucets! For those who don't know, a Bitcoin faucet is a site that gives away free Bitcoins (or fractions there of!). The catch is usually lots of adverts, and a time limit on how often you can "claim". So why am I writing about faucets again? Well I'm out of work at the moment, and have been clicking around, and rejecting a lot of naff sites... but then I came across Cointiply , and liked it. What Cointiply offers You need to register (I don't normally go in for that, but the reviews show a long paying out site) It pays all games/features out as "Coins" in your site wallet. 1 coin is one USD cent such that the amount of Bitcoin (BTC) you'll get on payout will be based on the exchange rate at the time. This protects you from falls in the value of Bitcoin until you're ready to cashout. Cashout is from $3.50. I've got to $1 within an afternoon of clicking in the backgrou
