August 2010: Earnings Report

Welcome to my monthly edition of my previous month Earnings report.  Here you will find a snap shot of my earnings that I made last month, what went well, what didn't and what sites you can join to start receiving monthly passive income online.  Below is a table describing my August 2010 Earnings:

	August
Revenues
Fusion Cash	$24.26
Treasure Trooper	$7.00
eHow Earnings	$1.91
ReadBud	$5.05
Inbox Dollars	$3.44
Cash Crate	$0.00
FireHow	$0.16

NeoBux Fees	$0.09
OnBux Fees	$0.06
Total	$0.15
Net Income	$69.65

As you can see: Another SOLID month at Fusion Cash.  I tell you what - that is always one site I can count on that will earn me around $20-50 bucks each month, almost guaranteed.  If you haven't signed up yet - $5 Sign up Bonus for those that need to.  Swagbucks had another stellar month with $15 in bonus earnings, I receive either Amazon gift cards towards my textbooks or paypal deposits.  Also, Treasure trooper did alright, but could be better.

The downsides are Cash Crate.  I didn't spend time promoting or on that site at all for the previous month, which I will surely change this month of September.  I do enjoy the site, but just haven't been strengthening my presence there.  Also, the semester kicked back up in full swing a few weeks ago, I was in California for a week and I have also been working around 40 hours per week.  Therefore, my time of promotion and spending time to describe these sites to friends, relatives and online sites has dramatically declined which has hindered my performance.

In the month to come:  I will pull for similar earnings in FusionCash, Swagbucks, Readbud and TreasureTrooper.  I will improve my earnings in CashCrate with referrals and cash offers and I will also introduce two new websites this month as part of reviews.

I hope everyone's Labor Day is off to a great start!  Get out the grill, throw some burgers and dogs on and enjoy the beautiful day!  Talk to everyone soon, please comment below!

Money Online Site Review: Cash Crate

Hey Everyone ~ Today's Online Money Site review is: Cash Crate.  Of Course this site is Completely Free!  I will proceed to bring you information regarding my earnings to date, how you earn money on there, the payment process etc.

This site is pretty awesome.  You receive a $1.00 sign up bonus, so again, you are already on top!  This site is very similar to Fusion Cash and Inbox Dollars in many ways in which I will describe below.

How Much have I earned? I made it easy and have implemented my earnings banner:

So you see how much I am making, well how do you earn the money?  Here is how you make the free money on Cash Crate
1.) Offers: Similar to FC and IB, you earn this free money from doing either free or paid offers.  Free ones range from $.15 - $15 and the paid offers are even higher than that.  They are very simple and easy, usually taking around 5 - 10 minutes per each one, some take though as little as 20 seconds.
2.) Surveys: It wouldn't be a site to make free money if it wasn't for free surveys.  There are surveys that you can do daily and it will add up.
3.) Referrals!: Of COURSE, you can earn passive income through referrals!  You receive 20% of the earnings from your first level (ex: Referral earns $5 - you earn $1) and 10% from the 2nd level (Your referral's referral earns $10 and you would receive $1).  You also receive $3 per referral reaching $10!  Pretty awesome I would say
4.) Shopping: There is a shopping section where you earn a rebate back form your purchases.  Walmart offers a 3-4% cashback and magazines.com offers a whopping 26% cashback!

Not only can you earn Cash, but what makes this site different is the other method for prizes through points.  Every $1 you earn, you receive 1 point. There are actually point specific offers and surveys that you can do strictly for the points.  What can you do with points - Purchase prizes such as amazon gift certificates, apple products etc.  So it's nice there are other methods of earning money and/or prizes.

What else is different?  There is an actually extended/upgraded level of membership on there as well.  You start off at Bronze level - which entitles you to 20% of referral earnings and 10% of 2nd level referral earnings & you receive your check on the 15th of the following month.  Well, if you receive 50 referrals you are upgraded to Silver rank.  Silver Rank entitles you to 25% of referral earnings and you receive your check on the 1st of the following month instead of the 15th.  Pretty nice.

How do you get paid/methods of payment?  So far they pay you via check in the mail. If you have a minimum balance of $20 at the end of the month, they will send the check and you will receive it the following month around the 15th they state (depends on your rank).

Again, this is another avenue of free money, and with the referral program that they have, opportunities are endless.  Passive income will be created if you are friendly to members around the web, personal life, family etc. and if they desire will join up!  This is one of my many sites that I use from my first post that help me receive income from doing offers and passive income from when I am not even on the sites.

Thanks again for reading my review on Cash Crate - get up and get after the free money - there is plenty of it out there for all of you!  It's free, so why not - it definitely can't hurt!!  The extra money would be great for vacations, text books, gas money, cell phone bill, investing etc.  Anyone ranked higher on cash crate?  Any one have a similar great experience with them?  Post below!  Talk to you all soon!           -Lanny B.

Why Do I Have This Blog About Passive Income?

Hey Everyone! Welcome back to my blog about Passive Income Online.  I have been writing on this blog for roughly one month and have over 15 posts.  I know I started this blog off just rambling about ways to earn free money online which can result to passive income.  BUT I never wrote a post about why I am writing about this journey I have and hope you have towards Passive Income Online.  Well here goes nothing...!

It all started After Christmas of 2009.  I talked with mere friends about a book that I wanted to read, never speaking a word of it to my family.  Christmas morning comes around and I unwrap a present.  That present, surprisingly, was the book that I had wanted to read, thought about, spoke about ~ it all just seemed erie!  As soon as I finished the other book I was reading during that time, I immediate jumped into this new book I had received.  Carefully reading every word and not being able to put it down unless it was to catch a few hours of sleep, work etc.  As you can probably already tell - this book had changed my life.

Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki was this book that I am talking about.  It has been out for a few years now and he actually has a whole collection on the series.  To summarize what I had received from it is this - I wanted to get out of the rat race of having to receive good grades, to get accepted into a higher learning education, get good grades again, get a good job to WORK FOR MONEY, to get promoted, to work harder for more money to which I have higher expenses etc~ the process simply is never ending.

Therefore, to get out of this rate race that we are so inclined to do since the age of 5, depending on when you start school, I wanted to start with passive income - more so online.  What is passive income?  Passive income is something that brings you cash flow on a frequent basis where you do not have to spend time (little time is okay for tweaks & maintenance), energy but simply still receive this income.  Wow!  Who wouldn't want that?  Where you don't do anything but collect money?  Sounds perfect to me!  The only thing is, you need to learn and be financially and sociably literate to do so.  I am in graduate school which kind of goes against everything.  I am in school though to learn - not to get good grades and get a high paying job.  I am here to learn as much as I can while I am in school (you can see my MBA Blog).  I also will go to work not to work for money, but to simply work to learn about how business are run etc.

How have I been receiving Passive Income?  Well, since I am 22 years old (as of yesterday!), I love to make money online and I simply didn't have enough funds to invest into real estate etc.  I then started this blog - Real Passive Income Online and it is all FREE.  I knew my situation and goals and figured this would be a a great place to start - graduate student, 22 years old, spends vast amounts of time on the internet, has made money on here for free before etc, it all just works too perfect.

What can YOU do to receive passive income on here?  Well I have all of these posts prior to this one that explain many ways.  I have sites from my first post - they start you off by you having to do some work (time mostly) to start earning but once you get the hang of it you move towards your focus on referrals.   I have this blog and others with google's adsense, and the more I write about my niche specific, passion driven topic - increase in traffic, which results in higher chances of google ad clicks which results in higher google adsense earnings.  I write on eHow.com, which is simply how to articles, which further brings in more.

How does this work?  Simple! The almighty Internet is a business that runs 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year.  What other types of businesses are open every second of the year?  Post them below please : )

I know this is a long post but I wanted to tell my main reason.  That main reason is to share these opportunities with YOU.  YOU can start relieving some stress off of your shoulders and begin creating this online passive income.  I have many posts on how to do that and get started, the ball will be in your court.  With time and an open, creative mind - the amount you can earn is truly endless.  If you have a goal, do not give up on it and instead get off your feet and make it happen.  Free passive income will be the starting point of my journey and I am curious on where it will take me.  When will you start?  When will you start?  The Time is NOW!

Money Online Site Review: Inbox Dollars

Hey Everyone!  As noted yesterday, I will begin to post on sites that I currently am using to generate this Passive Income I keep talking about.  Since I have spoken about Fusion Cash already, I will be talking about Inbox Dollars.  I will talk in the order of how long I have been a member, how you can earn money in general from there, such as the lanes of income that it can provide you, my current amount as of today, and exactly how this can turn into free Passive Income Online.  Here We Go!

Inbox Dollars is a fantastic Site.  I have been a member since January 11, 2010, so around two months.  What attracted me to the site was the easy layout design, which leads to easy navigation, which equals out to a happy customer : ) - Always a plus!  I am current at as of 3/8/2010 - $28.16.  I know, it isn't thousands of dollars, but I have BARELY spent any time on there, I mean yes I have taken some time to learn the site (which will hopefully benefit you!) and earn some while doing it.

How am I earning from the site?  Well here are the methods: Free or Paid Offers, Cash Back from simply shopping online (I have 2 others sites that do there here), Free Surveys, $5 sign up bonus : ), receiving these PAID e-mails on a frequent daily basis (usually 1-3x per day!), and referrals. Basically it is all displayed below the methods that are used : ) To make things more visual.

I personally LOVE the paid e-mails.  They are normally worth around $.02 per piece, and it takes 2 seconds to receive it - beats the PTC ads thats for sure!  Offers usually take a few minutes, earning b/w $.25 - $3.00 for the free ones and up to $15 I believe for paid offers.  Surveys take around 5-10 minutes depending on what you get.  Now you may be asking yourself - how is this passive income if you are spending the time to earn it?  Answer: Referrals and Paid E-mails.

I earn a passive income on here because of my referrals and receiving paid emails.  For some it is extremely difficult to receive referrals, but I find it fun and easy - most coming from not even trying to receive a referral, such as this blog.  I like to get to know people, provide them with information on what they need.  Referrals will equal passive income because you receive a % of their earnings!  Paid e-mails are a source of passive income I consider, because you are rumbling through e-mails anyhow and it only takes 2 seconds to click on the email.  So in about 56 days I have earned over $28 with spending some time learning the site and talking to people, I'll take that any day.

Why Sign up for Inbox Dollars?  Well, there is a $5.00 sign up bonus (you are already on Top), it's fun and real easy to earn and with the opportunity of referrals - sky is the limit on this one as well.  This site relates to the few that I have talked about in my first post on this blog.  I actually have created a YouTube Video describing Inbox Dollars!

So what are you waiting for?  Go out there and earn some free money on Inbox Dollars.  I hope to see you around on there and enjoy!  Thanks for stopping by once again to all my readers - anyone have a similar great experience?  Please Comment below!  Talk to you all soon.                     -Lanny B. 

Updated my Free Ways to Generate Income Post!

Hey Everyone!  Thanks for stopping by!  I wanted everyone to know that I updated my 1st post ever on this blog and have included 5 more amazing free sites that I am on that are generating me income.  Of course, like always, these sites have 0 investment and only need some of your time.  I only place sites on here and on that page that I know are working, credited and are functional in terms of usage.  I will only place them on here for your awareness and knowledge, as a matter of fact, only when I RECEIVE money, to which I have on 9 sites so far.  There's SO much free money out there it is incredible.  My best recommendation is to get involved, have fun and reap some of the awards the internet brings you : )

I also will be coming out with a string of new posts describing each one separately starting tomorrow, Monday March 8th, on each one of those sites.  Since I have done Fusion Cash two posts prior and include a separate Page for them already, I will pass that and go straight to Inbox Dollars.  I will, hopefully, come out with a post every other day and if not, every Monday and Thursday describing a site that I am on with updates on my stats as well.  Thanks for stopping by and Enjoy my updated Post!  Anyone have any others that they are on and would like to share?  Thanks!

Fusion Cash Updates!

Hey Everyone, today I actually wanted to spend an entire blog post on Fusion Cash.  This site has been phenomenal, hands down!  Referrals are picking up like crazy (currently at 16) and I find myself doing less and less on that site but yet I am making more and more.  I recently received my payment on February 18th for $33.80 (The link is for a picture of proof) and will receive another $31.80 on ~ March 20th, and already have another amount of $28.85 as of this morning, ready for my next cash out.

If you add these 3 together that is $94.45.  I began this on January 1st and around the beginning of February, the time I spend on this site has dwindled, and that is because of the bonuses, which I explain on my YouTube Video: Fusion Cash Bonuses.

I have come to realize, as a small tip for the online money makers out there, that conversation with people is key.  I love to help others find credited sites to earn money online and this is the first site I recommend, no doubt about it.  I could spend as much time as I did in January to earn more than what I have stated above, but I use my time now to find other opportunities, while I simply help people earn their potential on FusionCash, which personally, is ENDLESS, that I do not kid.

I will leave by saying, go on and check it out, there's free money out there to be earned by everyone.  The sky is the limit on that site and I know that I will continue to help others earn there and it will be the first site I recommend to others.  I, in fact, made a page for fusion cash as you can see at the top of my blog.  Enjoy!

-Lanny B.

P.S. What is nice about it, is that it's a Better Business Bureau Credited Business!

Sites used to Promote and Earn!

Hey everyone!  This is just a quick post on some some sites that I use to promote my webpages.  Most of these are pay-to-click (PTC) websites, but I use the funds to convert them into advertising dollars on their sites, so this is free and easy promotion for those getting started.  What else is nice is - options.  You can use the funds to promote your webpage or you can simply cash out the funds via check, PayPal or AlertPay.  So all in all, you are either earning free promotion or money for yourself!

1. ClixSense

This is a pretty neat site, because you can convert the points you get form viewing others and use that to advertise your own webpages.  I have received some traffic from doing this and is a very easy tool to use.

2. NeoBux

Again, very closely to what is stated above.  You can earn money from clicking and viewing others pages, and convert those funds to advertise your own services.   Very easy.

3. Bux.to 
Extremely similar to the other 2 stated above, except the personal requirement to receive a check if you want to keep the money is slightly higher at, I believe, $10 minimum?

4. LinkReferral

Sorry to keep repeating - but this is a very easy site again to use.  What is great about this is you can see where your website is ranking in the category that you have it published but not only that but how you can INCREASE it in the rankings via looking at others pages, reviewing them etc.  I have definitely received traffic from here and even received a few referrals for my FusionCash account!

5. Adsense


6. Adz On Fire 

Again, these are sites so you can receive more feedback/hits on your own pages.  I don't think this should be your only method of getting traffic, because it would be too much work.  If you are trying to create Passive Income and are on sites that need referrals - then these sites definitely do help as you do get sign ups with enough participation.  All in all, these PTC sites are good if you are in need of promotion and would like an option of simply cashing out the earnings for oneself!  Enjoy!  P.S. Anyone have any experiences with the 4 sites above listed?  I would love to hear about them along with others that you currently use and work!

Free Ways to Generate Income Online!

(Updated March 7, 2010)
Hey everyone, how are you all doing? Thanks and welcome to my first blog! Of course, the topic is about making free money online, I know, I know - we have all heard, read and even committed a vast amount of time, energy and heck - even money for these sites. Well I want to simply skip all the bad and come out with great, well-proven ways to generate nice income online. This is perfect for a student (High School, College or Graduate), a stay at home Mother/Father and anyone else that seems to find free time here or there. I will Add sites that I currently am on and have proven that they are:

1. Free 2. Easy 3. No Stress

Please feel free to comment or message me if you have any questions or concerns, because I would love to help out anyone that is seeking to make a little extra each month. By the way I started these sites among the first week of the year 2010.

1. FusionCash  Payment Proof Here: Proof

Here, I have cashed out recently on January 14, 2010 for $35.55. I will receive the payment via PayPal on/around February 20th. I will explain the cash-out process after I explain the site. This site is free and SO easy. That is why I have it number 1. I have spent barely minutes/day and have generated what you see worth above in the banner. Also, signing up through the links or banner above provides you, the reader, with a $5.00 sign-up bonus! There you go - starting out up top already! In order for the $5.00 bonus MAKE SURE TO CONFIRM YOUR ACCOUNT via e-mail (same goes with the others listed)!!  It is easy to earn money on here, you simply fill out free surveys and free questionnaire type activities and the freebies usually range from $.50 all the way to $3.00. There are also daily ones that you can do every single day!!! So this site is a must for sure. The Cash-out process is: minimum of $25.00 and there are 3 methods: PayPal, Direct-Deposit and Check. They pay out the next month, so if you cash out anytime in January , you will receive the payment the middle of the following month. So sign up here: FusionCash and I will help you if need be!  Payment Proof Wants again here: Proof 

2. Inbox Dollars

Here is another site EXTREMELY similar to FusionCash listed above and the following, CashCrate, below. Again, very easy and there is a $5.00 sign up bonus to begin if clicked through my link. The process, and this goes for all, of signing up is extremely easy, free and risk-free. I have currently earned (as of 2/11/10) $24.11. So not too bad for spending a few minutes here or there. Also, they send Paid E-mails, which is great, and they come very frequent (usually a few times per day) so you are guaranteed to build some income that way.

3. CashCrate

This site has been wonderful as well. Not too sure how often my banner is updated, but as of (2/11/10) I have earned $14.75. The minimum cash-out is $20. Pretty similar to the other 2 listed above, therefore this is another great way to earn a little bit extra every month. Systems are fairly similar, with a bonus of either $2.5 or $3.00 for signing up through the link and/or banner above. You may be thinking, why is this 3rd on my list and not 2nd or 1st? Well, I feel that FusionCash credits faster, which is the most important part, InboxDollars has a nice/additional feature with paid e-mails, and CashCrate is simply just free offers like both of the two. That is why I have it listed third, which is still great, because it is a very easy, fast and, of course, free site. I do highly Recommend!

4. Moola!

This site I have been a member of for just about 3 years (off and on of course)!  It has been fun with them as they have games that literally earn you money!  They start you off with a penny every time you are at a zero balance.  Each game you have a chance to double that.  So think: .01+.01=.02, .02+.02=.04, .08, .16, .32, .64, 1.28, 2.56, 5.12, 10.24, 20.48, 40.96 etc etc.  So it is a very fun way to easily get to the $10 range within just 10 wins in a row!  They have a nice referral program as well, I believe it is a 4 tiered system.  I have cashed out quite a few times with my earnings being $184.76, and have only cashed out via check.  It is definitely a fun site to check out and they also offer similar "booster" system as the other 3 listed above.  So they intertwine various types of games (rock, paper, scissors; hi/low etc) along with boosters of doing free offers!  Try it out!

5. Prize Rebel

This site has been wonderful to me as well!  I have earned over $200 in merchandise from here including a $150 Apple Gift Card (which I used to help purchase my macbook).  You earn these Prize Rebel points from doing things similar in Fusion Cash, Cash Crate & Inbox Dollars.  You simply complete free offers and surveys, which equate out to points and you redeem these points for prizes of your choice!

6. Swag Bucks

Swag Bucks is hands down fun and awesome!  You get these "Swag Bucks" for searching on their engine, by entering Swag Codes and having referrals that give you 100% as well.  I have so far cashed out $50 in Restaurant Gift Cards, $25 total in Amazon Gift Cards and other various little gift payments such as 2 $5 Paypal payments.  A great site to earn some while doing what you already do!

7. People String

This site is definitely up and coming.  I was told about this site through some friends late in the year 2009 and never gave it much thought.  I watched a few videos from OldBuddy and wow, this site just seems awesome.  I have been on here earning people points and money for the last few weeks and it's just a great time.  Let me know if you have any questions about here!

8. Treasure Trooper


9. Bukisa

You Simply publish your articles, audio recordings and power point presentations on here.  It's similar to eHow but just expanded a bit.  They tell you what you will get paid, I believe per view, which is nice.  I just signed up for here on March 6, 2010.  So far so Good!  A very good layout and it's a pleasant experience all around.
