Slashmysearch - Update

Slashmysearch.com just announced that they have lowered the minimum payout to $30 instead of $50. That's great news, as it will allow more members to cash out every month.
Also, their search engine is currently down for maintenance. You can still login, sign up, browse the forums.
I now have 4 referrals under me in Slashmysearch. My total earnings is $3.15. It seems too good to be true that I've earned that just for doing normal activity. Another thing that I like about Slashmysearch, comparing it with Agloco, is that there is no toolbar or software to download, which I see as very unhandy and a potential discouragement for getting referrals.
Another neat feature I just discovered is the skins - you can change the appearance of SlashMySearch pages (except the home page). Just log in, and at the main control panel click Reset Password (It's actually account details). Scroll down to the section that says "User Account Information", and to the right you'll see a drop-down menu for the different skins.

Finally, an update. Earnings & More ways to earn!

A late update on my earnings. On February 15th, 2007 I received $6.25, as my second payment from Bigcrumbs.com. It was for the first full month of my membership, (December 2006). That is a huge jump over the $.97 from the previous half-month (Nov. 2006).
My downline is growing rapidly now. I have 67 in the first generation, 25 in the second, and 9 in the third, for a grand total of 101 referrals. Needless to say, I'm more excited than ever with the potential.

I'm also excited about the latest earning program I found. SlashMySearch.com is a "Search 'N Earn" program. It's simple and easy, if you use their search engine, they pay you some of the advertising revenue. You get paid for activity, which includes reading and posting in their forum. Plus, with their referral program, you get paid for up to three generations in your downline. I have almost $2 in my account, my downline is 2 referrals. I just signed up a couple weeks ago, and my internet was out for a week (which explains my absence from the blog). The nice thing about this program, there are no toolbars to download, nothing out of the ordinary to do. Simply use their search engine. It is still in beta, and there are a few bugs in the system that are currently being worked out. Signup is free and there are no membership fees. Minimum payout is $50, if you reach that you get paid monthly via PayPal, Egold or check.

Agloco - get paid to surf

Agloco is a site where you get paid to surf, and to build your network of referrals. You are paid for each hour that your direct and extended referrals surf (currently up to 5 hours/month). There is no limit on the number of referrals that you can get paid for, and your referrals do not lose anything in the process. Members receive shares in the company based not only on their own use of the Internet, but also for the usage of all of their referrals. Members with the largest referral networks stand to benefit most from the community. Here's how it works:

You accumulate hours in your account for your use of the Viewbar™ software, up to the maximum monthly hours (which is country-specific). These hours can be convertible into shares of AGLOCO™ stock See below the country specific restrictions on conversion. You can also accumulate hours in your account for the usage of Viewbar™ by your direct referrals and extended referrals. You become eligible for the shares when your account reaches your country's minimum payout limit.

As AGLOCO™ grows and the company generates positive cash flow, we will be distributing the excess cash to Members and shareholders of the company. In addition, Members can earn cash directly in their accounts for certain transactions with AGLOCO™ sponsor sites.

Remember, the company is 100% owned by the Members, so we will put the cash to work to best reward the Member/shareholders of the company. The cash will be used for payouts based on hourly Viewbar?usage, cash dividends to Member / shareholders and/or share buybacks of the company's shares.

Note: The Viewbar software is currently in private beta testing, and is expected to be released in a couple weeks. While you're waiting, build your referral network!

WealthToolbox.com - Free long-term investment

I found a site called Wealth Toolbox. For a limited time, they will give you $50 (normally $10) into your account when you sign up. And sign up is painless and completely free. A quick Google search brought up nothing bad about them, but nothing really positive. Because their payout time is so long (24 months) and they are pretty new, no one has gotten paid yet. But it's free, so there's nothing to lose. It works like this: You sign up, and they put $50 into your account. It's now your $50. Then, they take that $50, and invest it for you. If they make a good investment, the money will grow. And, they will give you an additional $50 bonus for every person you sign up. If they indeed pay out in two years, it's a pretty sweet deal. Here's my referral link for you to use:

Note: Apparently they are working on a new improved website that should be in place soon.

First payment from Bigcrumbs!

I signed up with Bigcrumbs on the 27th of November, 2006. I received my first payment through PayPal on January 15, 2007. Total amount after fees was $0.97. (Yes, I can hear you snickering). I expect this month's payment to be more than double that, but you'll hear about that on the 15th. (In case you haven't heard, I'll be blogging about Bigcrumbs on the 15th of each month, when I get paid.)
My referrals? I have 67 total. And total referral purchases is $479.56. That's approx. $7.15 per referral.
My Bigcrumbs referral and cash statistics will be updated on the 15th of every month, make sure you check back.
Oh, and if you're interested in signing up, or at least looking into it, I'd be highly grateful if you'd use my referral link:

Bigcrumbs

Bigcrumbs.com gets the credit for getting me interested in making easy money without spending any money. I signed up on Nov. 27, exactly 70 days ago. Here is an excerpt from their website describing how Bigcrumbs works:

How Does BigCrumbs.com Work? We have agreements with over 134 (and growing) popular retailers, such as Target, Old Navy, Gap, Circuit City, Best Buy, and more. When you visit BigCrumbs.com before shopping online and click our links to reach these retailers, BigCrumbs.com is paid a marketing commission. We pass that commission on to you! Membership in BigCrumbs.com is 100% free. There are no hidden costs and you don't pay extra when shopping at our featured retailers. It's really that simple! We also give you a chance to earn thousands just by telling friends how you're saving with BigCrumbs.com.

At first it seemed to good to be true, to me. On their webpage it states that a person who refers 5 people could begin making over $1,000 a month on his referral's purchases alone, if each referral spends only $50 a month. That is because if you sign up as a CrumbEarner, you can get referrals up to 5 generations deep. That means that if you refer 5 people, and those 5 people refer each 5 people, you now have 25 referrals, those 25 each refer 5, makes 125 total, and so on until they are 5 generations deep, and you now have 3,905 referrals in 5 different generations under you. That's pretty exciting. Of course, getting referrals is MUCH easier said than done. You have to get creative. A popular question from new Bigcrumbs members is: Do you really make money? And: How many referrals do you have?From viewing the Bigcrumbs forums, I see people that have referrals in the thousands. They don' t make it clear how much they're earning. One person stated that his first payment was around $50. That very good. Now, I'm sure your wondering, how much am I making? Well, first I'll explain how Bigcrumbs payment works. They pay you monthly via PayPal. And they pay one month in arrears, which means that if you sign up on Jan. 1st, you won't get your first payment until March. Then in April you'll get your February payment, and so on. Payments are made on the 15th of every month.
In my next blog post you'll hear how I'm doing with Bigcrumbs. If you're interested in signing up, I certainly wouldn't mind if you'd use my referral link:
