At the beginning of this month, I posted my earnings for May. I had decided that this month I was going to try and make more money this month. I started doing more Cash Crate offers to bump up my earnings. The reason I picked Cash Crate is because I think they are one of the best GPT sites out there.

How does it work? You sign up, fill out surveys, click to tell them that you’ve completed the survey, and after they confirm that you have completed it, you get paid! I notice with Cash Crate the approvals are a lot quicker than other GPT sites. I think this is such an easy way to make money! Of course, you aren’t going to get filthy rich doing this, but it will supplement your income a little. I enjoy it because I do see that they approve the offers quickly.

There is a $10 minimum payout, which is not too bad. You can easily achieve $10 by spending probably less than an hour completing offers. I like doing the 100% free ones because I don’t like giving my credit card number out over the internet to a bunch of different companies.

Do you do GPT sites? You should sign up for Cash Crate!

For many years I’ve participated in Pinecone Research. I enjoy being a panelist. They send you surveys and products to try and you get compensated for your time and energy by getting $5 per survey (unless it’s household questions) and $5 for every product you try. Well, I guess I should say you used to. About a year ago, they changed new sign ups to get paid $3 per survey and entered into a drawing to win $500. They have recently sent out a study to current members that were still getting the $5 basically telling them that they are changing everyone to $3 per survey and sweepstakes.

I think it sucks. Sure, there are times you answer questions and don’t get compensated for them, but they really aren’t that bad. There is an option to leave it at $5 a survey, but it basically says if you do that you probably won’t be getting very many surveys. I think I’m going to go ahead and change to the $3. Do I like it? No. But I do enjoy being a part of Pinecone Research and want to continue doing so.

Do you do Pinecone Research? What do you think of the recent changes? Is $3 good enough?

Well… May wasn’t as fruitful as I had hoped. I only made 20.80 online, with ExpoTv contributing 3.70 (and I didn’t do ANY videos!), associated content 2.10, and pinecone research 15.00. I didn’t do Cash Crate, this month because I just didn’t have time.  I did start working from home part time, but that isn’t going to be a ton of extra money, just something to do that gives me a little extra cash.

Here are my financial goals for June:

• I’m going to have a garage sale to sell off some items that I’ve been holding on to that I’m not using and are just taking up space. I hate clutter! Hopefully I’lll make a little extra cash that I can either throw in savings or use to pay off debt.

• Also, I’ve got some things I need to list on ebay and I just need to quit being lazy and list them! I’ve also started something on the side that is really fun and will pay me a little money at the same time too. I’ll write more about that later.

• Get my budget in line with where it needs to be- and stick with it!

What do you do to make extra “snowflake” money?
