The type of work at Cloud Crowd varies but according to their FAQ

“Typical projects include image and video tagging, finding information online, and quick writing and editing projects. Work ranges in difficulty, and longer tasks typically pay more. With the variety of work offered, we’re sure you’ll find tasks you enjoy.”

Some of the jobs require that you pass a qualifications test. So you may have to edit a paragraph or do another job in order to get the qualifications to complete certain types of tasks.

One nice perk of working for CloudCrowd is being able to decide how long and when you want to work.  But the major perk is next day payment. For all jobs approved by 5pm PST payment is made the next business day.

The drawbacks are they do not appear to have a lot of work and payment is low. When I looked at the CloudCrowd  list I saw a few translation jobs, editing jobs and evaluating profiles on a social site but that was it. I would expect the job list will expand as the company grows.  Payment is low but if you need to make some extra cash it is a quick source.

So far CloudCrowd claims to have paid out for over 400,00 tasks and 18,000 people have signed up to be CloudCroud workers.

To join CloudCrowd you need two things a Paypal account and a Facebook account.  Why they have chosen to conduct their business via Facebook I am not sure but it is easy to sign up there and see the daily jobs. You can also sign up for alerts to be notified of new jobs.

And purse party profits add up. Statistics show that the average woman in her 30′s purchases a new handbag four times a year. With the average price of a quality bag running several hundred dollars that adds up to a very hefty commission for the person selling those bags.

Let’s say you held a 2 hour purse party and invited 10 friends and 4 purchased a purse at an average cost of $150. If you earn 10% commission that would add up to $60 purse party profits. If you deduct $10 for the cost of a cake, cookies and punch that would leave you with $50 or a nice, tidy profit of $25 an hour.  Pretty Sweet.   And many times you will earn a 20% commission and enjoy many more sales!

One of the nice things about a purse party is you can set your own hours, enjoy the company of your friends and earn work at home money at the same time.

The queen of purse parties, Deborah Allison makes over $100,000 a year in just 20 hours a week holding purse parties. She has written an ebook explaining exactly how she does it.  The ebook gives tips and her exact formula to make the sales that have her earning a very nice annual income of over one hundred grand a year.

Her Purse Party Profits ebook also includes bonus ebooks including how to recognize fake handbags and the history of the purse.  She also includes downloadable Purse Party business forms and much more.

As I indicated in my earlier post the pay at Mylot is pennies but just how few pennies is surprising.

At this point I have 19 referrals at Mylot, 16 posts and I have been a member for two years. To be fair most of the referrals have not been active and I myself am rarely on there, only for a backlink (more on that in a minute).

At this point I have earned a whopping …drum roll……$2.32 at Mylot. No that is not for the month, that is for all time!

One of the reasons I have used Mylot is to share about my sites and to get backlinks. However, this has been difficult. Mylot quickly deletes anything it deems commercial and in order to get a link you must type in the link. You cannot cut and paste on Mylot unless you have a certain number of posts.

Overall, Mylot is one of the few places besides Yuwie that pays you to socialize but it should be seen for what it is. For earning online income Mylot qualifies as a time waster.  View it as a place to socialize and not an income earner.

Jill Carpenter aka Avenue Girl of Internet Marketing Plan recently wrote about Get Paid to Read sites on a popular marketing forum.  Her insights clarify how Get Paid to Read sites work. With her permission I have shared her post below.

“There are companies on the web where when you have a sales page you want to test conversions on, you can submit your sales page to these “paid to read” companies and they will spit your sales letters out to their list of readers. As someone testing a page, you may get some sales, you definitely get some traffic, and you can collect data to see what is converting.

As a “reader” for one of these companies, you are sent alerts in your mail box when there are new messages/sales letters to be read. So, you click to read them and you are on a timer so you have to stay on the page for a designated period of time before you can move onto the next ad.

Typically, you get maybe 2 cents per letter/email that you read. These companies usually have a payout that requires you to make a 20 dollar mark or so before they will pay you. You may only get 10 messages per day to read – and a lot of times there is a sign up bonus of 10 bucks or something.

So as a reader, lets say you sign up and you get 10 dollars credit but you now need to read enough emails to get to that 20 dollar pay out. At 2 cents per message at a 10 message per day average, you will be making 20 cents a day and it will take you roughly 5 days to make a dollar – so from there you can figure it will take you 50 days to get to your 10 dollars needed to get your payout.

(these numbers are not set in stone, but are probably a fair example)

So, why would anyone do this?

Well, readers can build downlines. For each reader in their downline they get a penny for each ad their immediate downline reads, and there is more to be had as the downline grows below the first tier.

It is possible to build enough people below you so you can make 20 – 30 dollars a day while you just read your 10 ads and are done. But to build this downline you will need to recruit. They don’t just fall into your lap. And you need to help them build their downlines or they won’t stick around long – so again this is some work.

The best way to do this is to offer extra assistance to those who sign up below you in helping them build their downlines. So while you thought you could just get away with a few minutes work it is really a lot of work to make some money.

Why do I mention listbuilding in this process? Well you will be interacting with your downline for the best success and you can start building a list to have a way to communicate with them.

Your downfall is when successful ads suck the reader into buying the products they are suppose to be “reviewing.’

You are essentially a guinea pig for the advertisers to see if they can get you.

The host or company you are working for will try to get you to buy as well by holding contest – and when you do make a purchase from certain sites you can get entered in a lottery of sorts to win bigger cash prizes.

You can expand by doing more than one of the paid to read companies, and get your downlines to sign up under you on the additional companies as well.

In the end of all of this, you can learn – and you can study sales copy of what works and what doesn’t – but these are things you can learn faster elsewhere without spending so much time for very little money.”

As you can see from Jill’s post it is very difficult to make money with Get Paid to Read sites. 

As I researched this Get Paid to Read article I studied one of the most popular Get Paid to Read sites on the net. They made it sound easy and profitable. But when I explored the Get Paid to Read forums I discovered a little piece of information that made if very clear how unprofitable Get Paid to Read sites are. 

 This particular Get Paid to Read site requires that you sign in at least once every sixty days to keep your account active.  In the forums they listed all of the members who had not signed into their accounts and so their account had been deactivated. They do this every month and there were literally hundreds on the list.  That says something right there.

There are much better ways to make money online than with Paid to Read sites. Check out my ebook “PAYDAY – Top Ways to Make $100 or More Online“.  I also recommend using a surfing site like Swagbucks to earn prizes easily and use legitimate survey sites instead of Get Paid to Read sites.
