Make money discussing about gadgets at GoGadgetForum

Image via Wikipedia

Gogadgetforum.com is a pretty new forum where you can make money by posting replies and starting threads. I was one of the early members of the website and I am happy that I signed up there. They also have contests through which users can make more money.

How are they different?

The best thing about this website that it has no fixed pay per post rate like most of the other forum where users get x cents for a post reply and y cents for new threads. Here one can make payment request once he/she have reached their minimum requirements (like number of posts, threads etc..). Once you’ve placed your payment request the forum admin will have a look at the quality of the posts and pay you. If you’re a human you can guess the fact that better posts get paid more.

I’ve been on many other forums which pays. The big down about these websites is that they have fixed payment rates for posts and threads. I pointed it as a down side because in this system one will get paid without considering the quality of the posts. In short, users who makes some good and productive contributions will not get more than others here.

No limits, start today and get paid tomorrow!

I posted 100 posts and some threads on the first two days of registration. On the second day I put a payment request and was paid quickly. I got $8 for a few hours of work. You can make more money if you spend more time and try really hard to make good content there. Posting contents from other sites, Warez links etc.. are not allowed there.

Writing good quality posts

Good quality posts are the posts which includes some information. It is better to add pictures and add maximum details about the topic you’re posting. Makes sure you’ve at least typed in 200 words in the new threads(it ain’t that hard). While adding replies to posts make sure that you’re replies are of 50 words at least. This doesn’t mean that you can’t ask some questions in threads or make casual replies on threads, but keep in mind that they don’t pay for such casual replies.

Bukisa hugs Adsense and takes the safe path. No more ‘Bukisa index’!

Image via CrunchBase

Finally, Bukisa takes the safe path too! (“Safe path?” see the end of the article). There are thousands of websites to make money writing articles but only few of them doesn’t require Adsense account. And by January 13th Bukisa will disappear from this small list. If you’re unfamiliar with Bukisa read this post here.

What’s going on?

Yeah, Bukisa is completely switching into Google Adsense within 30 days. Any balance will be paid to your PayPal account. After this there is no more Bukisa index payments. Ah..You must have read their email and you’ll be aware of all these stuff. By the way, you’ll get to keep the 60% of the Adsense earnings and the other 40% goes to Adsense.

What is meant by “safe path”?

Integrating with Google Adsense is a safe net for article submission websites. By using this method they’re never gonna end up in a loss. Here are some of their benefit :

• Never end up loss: Earlier Bukisa had to pay according to their index system. Actually it was a risk for them because they have no guarantee that they’ll get the index amount from 1000 views. So if they don’t get enough clicks for the views they receive they could easily end up in loss.
• No payment headaches: All the payment procedures are now off from their heads. Google does that all now. Bukisa can just maintain the website and stuff. No more payments, payment disputes etc.
• Sit back and collect money: In the case of Bukisa, they get 40% of the earnings of the users. This is pretty high when you imagine that you’ve got to give Bukisa $400 if you make $1000 on Adsense with them. And that’s a lot of money for Bukisa who just made the platform for the users to contribute.

Attention Google Adsense banned users: Pack your Bukisa stuff! It’s time to move on :)

Sharecash.org review and tips

Image via Wikipedia

I’ve been using ShareCash.org for few days and I didn’t made much money out of it. In fact, I wasn’t able to get 10+ downloads on my file even though I’ve tried to promote it by various methods.

How I used the website

I created a 12 page eBook and uploaded it on ShareCash. Then I created a page with the highlights of the book for promoting it. I added ShareCash download link on this page and started to send people to this page. I’ve continued this for the whole day and I couldn’t get any downloads and the few downloads I’ve got are from the friends to whom I send the link via email. It’s seems that people are not interested in downloading files after doing a survey or completing an offer.

Some tricks to get downloads

I’ve read on ShareCash itself that one of the ways to get downloads is to upload encrypted compressed files on torrents and once the download is complete ask them to find the password  in your ShareCash file. But this is not a healthy way and in my opinion we’re actually cheating the downloader! Moreover, this method could only be used for once and after that our reputation on that torrent website will drop and people will start to run away from our username.

Some do make much money with ShareCash

Anyway, you can give ShareCash a shot because some users there makes a lot of money out of it. 40 cents to 60 cents is a lot of money and it is really great if you could get some hundred downloads on a file. I don't know how those users get that much downloads on their files, but it is a fact that they do.

 The thing that might work

I think the best way to get some downloads on this website is to create some premium quality virtual goods and upload it to ShareCash. Here is how it works:

1.) Create a quality file and add it for sale on your website or blog or anywhere you think where it will get some attention.

2.) Now add an option to download the file for FREE! And users who select this option will be directed to the ShareCash page and from there he/she can complete the survey and have the file.

3.) It is likely to get 40-60 cents per download and if you think your work is worth than that you may split the files into pieces and upload it so that you’ll earn more.

Anyway, I haven’t tried this trick myself and can’t make any guarantees. But this is the best one that popped in my head.

Usertesting.com – Get paid for testing

Image via CrunchBase

I recently came across this website called usertesting.com and I think their concept is cool. It’s a place where people can submit their websites for a fee and get it reviewed by real people. And the review includes the video reviews done by the user. You can be a user who reviews the websites and get paid for doing so. They pay $10 per video review.

Getting approved

First you have to download their screen recording software. Now review a website they supply to you and submit it to them and if your review was good enough you’ll get approved. By ‘reviewing’ it means you have to say the good and bad things about the website through your microphone while recording the video.

My experience

Well, the website itself says that one should not consider it as a steady income source. I don’t get much reviews as I’ve expected since the availability depends on :

1.   Your demographics.

2.   An oversupply of user testers.

3.   Your ability to provide useful feedback

It’s a great site and their payments are high as well. So if you’re really interested in reviewing you should definitely try this one. More information can be found here:

Cashgopher review

Image by cbowns via Flickr

I think most of you will be familiar with the website Cashgopher - ‘Make money for doing nothing’. The website was launched on September 1st by the creators of myLot, which is one of the best online communities.

What is it?

It’s simple! You just download their software after signing up there and then run it on your computer and you’ll get paid for that! The more time your computer is powered on with the program running, the more you’ll earn. Users may see some advertisements as well, which helps to generate more money.

The working of their website and the way the owners earn profit are listed on their FAQ page here. They also have an affiliate program in which users earn 25% of the earnings of their referrals for a full year.

My review

I’ve signed up there on the launch day itself. And I expected much from the website. But I was extremely disappointed when I realized that I’ve earned $0.01 for running their program for 24 hours! So it is not at all profitable for me since it won’t even make up to the electricity I spend on PC by leaving it ON for the whole day!!

But I guess they’ll be better in future because the website is owned by mylot and so they’ll find lots of advertisers. Let’s hope that Cashgopher will offer much more soon.

Extremesurfs paid to post forum

Image by vauvau via Flickr

Extremesurfs is a forum where users could discuss about a lot of things, especially about making money online! You’ll earn points for each post and new topics and once it hits 150 you can cashout!

Plus points

Advantages of Extremesurfs is that their payout is very low and can be reached even within one day since one could post unlimited posts (not topics). There are also contests for users to earn more money with website. You can earn upto 2 points per post and 3 per new topic and cashout when you’re at 150 points. Yeah, we could reach it very quickly!

Minus points

There are not much minus points for this website. But the one I experienced is that they don’t pay via PayPal. You can get paid via AlertPay and Libertyreserve. Also, since they allow link, lots of people try to spam the forum but admins try their best to make the forum clean.

Anyway, it’s another great forum to get paid online just by discussing things you love.
