First earnings update of 2012

 New Years came and went and the world did not end.
I am back with an earnings update and to talk a little about my newest project. But first the numbers for the cold hard cash! :)

Surveyhead: 15.05 $ (I keep checking back on the site as I am quite close to the payout, but I haven't been given a survey for ages, maybe they don't want to pay me. We will see what happens)
Clixsense : 7.37$
Neobux: 0.713$
Dungeons and Treasures : 5.4k gold and 1.132$ + a tiny bit waiting for conversion from December.
Mysurvey: 480 points (115 points is 1€) I am saving up for the 5€ payout this time at 575 points
GlobalTestmarked: 115 points (1000 points is 50$) 10% mark reached. These guys are really slow at sending out surveys though

Recently I haven't received many surveys  at all and when I have, I haven't had much luck qualifying. We will see what happens now that Christmas and New Years is over.

 Squidoo: 4.29$ pending
Squidoo is quite interesting at the moment, because I am slowly building up and deciding upon a niche. (or should I say several niches.)
So far I am looking at Movies of the 90s one of my lenses on that is top 10 Cartoon and Animated movies of the 90s
Another niche is Magic the Gathering. I recently finished a list of all the Angel creature cards in MTG
The one niche I am the most excited about is Scandinavian Design. So Far I have only made one lens in the area, which is about Georg Jensen design, but it is something I am quite passionate about and I am looking into setting up an interlinked blog on the subject.


My first Payday on Squidoo will be the 15th of January and I am quite excited to see what will happen. I didn't have many lenses going in the first month though so probably wont be more than a few pennies, but still! :)

Overall Payout so far: 2 €

Oh yes, I promised to tell you about my newest project as well.  I have started a new blog just for fun. I call it the Pink-A-Rator. Have a look if you like pink stuff I am sure you will enjoy it.

Another breakdown of money earned on the Internet

Christmas is over and it is time for another update on earnings. It has been 10 days since I wrote here last, but as you will see it is not the biggest changes that has happened.

Surveyhead: 15.05 $
Clixsense : 7.16$
Neobux: 0.666$
Dungeons and Treasures : 28k gold and 1.132$
Mysurvey: 480 points (115 points is 1€) I am saving up for the 5€ payout this time at 575 points
GlobalTestmarked: 115 points (1000 points is 50$) 10% mark reached. These guys are really slow at sending out surveys though

 Squidoo: 3.86$ pending

Payout so far: 2 €

As you can see I didn't have any big earnings with Squidoo yet. I got a bit late into the game, however I foresee some good stuff with Christmas next year.

I only created one New Years Eve lens as well listing great songs for the 2012 New Years Eve Playlists
I guess I will have to start thinking about Valentines day.
Once I have been with Squidoo for an entire year, things should look much better as I will start to have lenses that covers every major holiday and event. Can't wait to see how things look next year at this time. :)

I figured it was about time I did another update on earnings. I know I haven't been as regular with these lately, but honestly I have been swamped. I am trying  my best to get Squidoo  going and having a blast, so that is where my energy is at the moment.
My Squidoo'ing is also having an impact on my clicking although I do try to remember I must admit that neobux and Dungeons and Treasures are being neglected quite a bit. I still do Clixsense and all the surveys whenever they are available though.

Here are my stats:

Surveyhead: 15.05 $
Clixsense : 6.28$
Neobux: 0.599$
Dungeons and Treasures : 21k gold and 1.132$
Mysurvey: 480 points (115 points is 1€) I am saving up for the 5€ payout this time at 575 points
GlobalTestmarked: 100 points (1000 points is 50$) 10% mark reached. These guys are really slow at sending out surveys though

 Squidoo: 3.17$ pending

Payout so far: 2 €

So far it is clear that surveys has made me the most (the only thing that has paid out yet is surveys and the money from Surveyhead is looking good). However I have faith in Squidoo. I see a little more visitors every day and once in a while I even get a clickout that leads to a purchase.

We will see how things goes in 2012! :)

Cute and funny Dwarf rabbits - how to make them companionable

Dwarf rabbits are extremely cute and funny which makes them excellent pets. They are not always 100% up for being held, but they are almost always available if you are offering to pet it with no strings attached. If your dwarf rabbit trusts you, it will start relaxing when you are around and you can end up with your bunny lying next to you on the sofa while you are watching your favourite show. (Although your pet rabbit might prefer the x-factor over twilight).
Here is my Dwarf rabbit Ronja, relaxing with me after he has had a good exersize.

Dwarf Rabbit Ronja, relaxing on the couch.
For you to build a relationship with your dwarf rabbit, where he is willing to lie still like this you need to make sure he trusts you and feels completely at ease in your company. Here are some good advice on how to build trust with your rabbit:

  • Make sure you handle your bunny on a daily basis.
  • Pick your rabbit up and stroke him. 
  • Make your bunny sit on your lap, but don't force it to stay. 
  • Make sure you give your bunny treats while you are petting it 
  • Most importantly of all. Don't restrict your rabbit when it doesn't want your company anymore. Bunnies are prey animals and does NOT like to be stuck.
If you follow that advice you should have a companionable, loyal little rabbit in no time.

As I have mentioned before I have written an entire lens on Dwarf Rabbit care which at this point has gotten quite extensive (and luckily it has also started to get quite regular google traffic). Check it out for more dwarf rabbit pictures, info and for a funny bunny video of a Dwarf rabbit playing.

Earnings update

Very exciting news this update. I have withdrawn my first money. I reached 230 points on mysurvey for which I withdrew 2€ to my paypal account. After their charges I now have 1.63€ on my account. The first money I have earned from this whole project. 8.37€ to go! :D
Surveyhead: 13.85$
Clixsense : 6.01$
Neobux: 0.570$
Dungeons and Treasures : 16k gold currently processing and 1.132$ (I only played Dungeon and Treasures once this month, but my mom has been playing and I am still getting referral gold from her).
Mysurvey: 0 points (115 points is 1€)
GlobalTestmarked: 95 points (1000 points is 50$) slowly slowly nearing the 10% mark.

And finally Squidoo:
Squidoo: 2.94$ (pending to get paid to my PayPal account.

I haven't earned much on Squidoo the last couple of days despite now having 22 lenses and quite a lot of traffic. I am still trying to find my niche and to figure which types of lenses will make you money and which wont. It is still tons of fun though so I am just going with it. One thing that worries me though is that my main lenses that gets traffic atm is the christmas ones and I am scared that once christmas is over I wont see any traffic. We will see though I still have 16 days to go until the holiday season is over so theres plenty of time to add some non christmas related lenses. :)

One more thing. I am now only 4$ from my first Clixsense payout, which is both awesome and also very frustrating as it sounds like very little, but in reality it is A LOT. i was just looking at my Clixgrid earnings and  I have won 2.95$ on the game, but I have also clicked 2.271 times that is 0.0013$ per click as each click takes 10 sec to validate that means and hourly income of 0.46$ which is quite ridicolous. Still hoping for that 5$ win though as that would be a quick way to reach my goal.

I'm writing lenses on Squidoo and would love you to join me

How to make paper boxes

My latest lens is a step by step guide on how to make folded paper gift boxes like these




They are really simple to make they are amazingly versitile. Furthermore it is a really easy way to add a bit of personalized WoW factor to a present. I have used these for creative gift wrapping for many years now and they never fail to impress people. Check out the guide for easy DYI boxes for yourself and tell me they aren't simple to make.

This particular lens was made because I wanted to share something I have enjoyed crafting for years, ever since I was a young child. I hope it will come in handy for you! :)
