My Average Day

I have an email asking me what my average day was like - how much time I spend earning on the web and what my income was.  I've decided the best way to answer that is by recording my day and tallying up at the end, so here goes...

9.00am-9.30am - Time for a coffee!  I turn on the computer and head straight over to Inbox Dollars.  My first 5 searched of the day will be found through this site, which will earn me $0.06.  The site I search for is  Slice the Pie!  And over the next 30 minutes I drink my coffee and listen to music - posting reviews as I listen.  I posted 8 reviews and made $1.89.

9.30am-10.00am - I look at my Adf.ly account and my AdSense, noting that I made $0.21 and $0.89, respectively, before turning my attention to the boring part of the morning... my Paid To Click sites.  I have 6 of these on the go at the moment (2 because of the PTC Experiment) and the rest being tested for a review on the blog. NeoBux made me about $0.50 with referrals (in the last 24 hours) and the rest which includes the likes of ClixSense, PTCBox and BuxP have probably made only $0.25, with varying numbers of personal and referral clicks. It takes 30 minutes to get through this lot, partly because I have an increasing number of referrals to manage.

10.00am-4.00pm - It's time to do what I get paid for and go to work.  I'll complete this post later!  Still to do: forums, more music reviews, and surveys.

4.00pm-4.45pm - I decide to check out e-rewards, Valued Opinions and NPolls find a couple of surveys.  Surveys are one of the most profitable ways to make money on the internet and in 1 hour I have made £1.50 on Valued Opinions, $0.20 on NPolls  and the equivalent of $2 on e-rewards.  Usually if I can't find surveys on these sites there are others I will check out.

4.45pm-5.30pm - This is the last stint on me earning on the internet for the day and I spend it on Slice the Pie, earning a further $2.51, but also seeing that my referrals have been busy and added a further $0.38 to that sum.

In total today:

• Adverts = $1.10
• PTCs = $0.75
• Surveys = $4.20
• Music reviewing = $4.40

Grand total = $10.45 for 2.5 hours work, though there are other days when this can be higher this seems average, bringing in $70-75 per week (quite a nice 2nd income earned for the time most people send on Facebook).

Slice the Pie Payment Proof

Congratulations to Slice the Pie for being the 2nd site to be certified as paying.

The $10 withdrawal is the minimum you can withdraw from this site, but that is an easily achievable amount in 2 to 3 hours.  I fully support and fully recommend you try this site.

Slice the Pie Introduces Referrals!

I went on to Slice the Pie today, to listen to some good music... and get paid for it! For those who've never visited this site, go now. You listen to music, write your opinion whilst it plays and get paid between $0.07 and $0.35 for your write-up (depending on the standard of your review). It's that simple.

But even better than that, I saw they are now offering referrals. Slice the Pie is a UK-based company that has been around for a few years. They pay quickly, have good admin and despite changing the site a few times have never had problems attracting new reviewers and keeping old ones - so this is a bit of a shock... but a pleasant one.

Their referral program means that you get 10% earnings from all the reviews done by your referrals.  This passive income stream, in my mind, makes Slice the Pie one of the best earning sites on the web.

Slice The Pie

Now this is how to earn money!  Not a lot of money... but "fun" money, if you like music.

The basic premise of Slice the Pie is to get good reviews on songs for cash rewards.  The longer and better your review the higher your reward.  Also, you rating is compared with other reviewers and you can move up the rank and gain experience.  The higher your "rank" and "experience" the more you get paid per review.

The average review takes 2 minutes to write if you are going for 3 paragraphs and thinking about what you are writing.  This would yield $0.20ish.  So it's not great money, but some of the tracks are genuinely very good.

I think there are 2 good ways of using this site:

1. Have it open in a tab in the background and dip onto it throughout the day when you want a two minute break from spreadsheets or blogging, or whatever you usually do on the computer.  I use this method as I'm easily distracted.
2. Spend a good 10-15 minutes on it each day and earn a couple of bucks.  If say you do this 200 times a year that $400-$500 is a nice treat at Christmas - especially when you consider the other revenue streams you might have going on!

In fact the revenue payout on this site is actually quite good, when you work out the maths.  $4/hour is quite easy to achieve and scaling that up to a 40hour/week job it equates to $8, 320/year!  Though, I'd never recommend that anyone goes full-time on Slice the Pie, for people working at home or only with part-time jobs there can be serious money made here.

There are a couple of downsides to this site however.  Firstly, there's no affiliate or referral system (they don't need one), so you don't any money from sending people to their site - and sadly I won't get any if some of you guys check it out.  Secondly, the site can be a little buggy at times, especially when loading tracks.  The best thing to do is refresh the page and if it doesn't work again, come back in an hour - this problem might be due to the site still be relatively new (for this version).

Let me know what you think and how you got on.  I'm off to do one more review!
