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!

Update following CobexTrade

Well its not been the best start to the new year. My favourite e-Currency site, Liberty Reserve, seems to be coming under sustained DDOS attacks, making the site sometimes hard to access. But worse still, CobexTrade has gone. CobexTrade is a reminder (not that I wanted one!) that HYIPs are not just High Yield, but also High Risk. These sites come and go, and even with a very high reputation, CobexTrade has died. So what now? Well I still have some other funds, partly earned on the GoldAge forum , which I don't think I've mentioned here before. GoldAge is a forum dedicated to investors on HYIPs etc... and it actually pays its members for posting! Not a lot admittedly, but its nice to earn at the same time as get good advice from fellow HYIP investors. Here's my current portfolio...small as it is again now: BreInvest Sochi-Invest.org Golden Purse CobexTrade has been an unpleasant reminder not to get too secure a feeling from HYIPs...I lost a lot of my egold there...but lesson...

My first blog!

Wow, here it is...my first blog. Yes, I know everyone seems to have one these days, but for a techie, I'm quite a way behind on this one. I've kept a e-diary for a couple of years now, and the more tangible diary in years gone by, but I've never shared, but finally I've realised it's about time to share with the world the inner workings of my mind...we will see! So, a bit about me! I'm a male in my mid-20's. I was born in the UK and have spent almost every moment of my life in this country (I've never been one for holidaying!). I work for a large corporate, though I don't feel like too small a part of the place. My passions would have to be Music, IT & Cycling. I don't consider myself to be an exciting person, and by this description of me, you probably think the same! Things you'll probably hear quite a bit about in this blog are: My money saving techniques...no, I don't re-use teabags, or anything that extreme, but I invest money wi...

It's been a long time, and as always the HYIP market has moved on substantially, players have come and gone at a faster pace than I'm sure they have in times past. So where does this leave me? Well actually in a good position, frankly the HYIPs themselves have been a bit of a disaster. I realised I was joining HYIPs too late in the day...when I thought they were safe, but in reality, I was joining them after the big rush, and therefore was there at the point their income levelled off, and therefore as they got bored. My other site "investments" have been the real winner though....DonkeyMails and wjob particularly. wjob still takes forever to earn cash, but you do get there, and then there's $6 in the account to play with. DonkeyMails has been the real winner though. I took a look into my profile and realised I hadn't switched on all areas of interest, so I wasn't getting the full range of banners and links to click on. More links equals more cash ;) ... an...
