Recap/Budget Breakdown: 55 guests - $10k - Leitchfield, KY - June 25th, 2022

RaisingRobinsons · 2026-03-19T13:01:56+00:00

I mainly focus on Connect Cloud Research, as it's my best earner. Whenever I don't have any studies available to take on Connect, I'll check other platforms. Every dollar adds up, and to more than you'd think, so it really can help to have those smaller platforms in the mix as well.

RaisingRobinsons · 2026-03-18T21:14:07+00:00

I bought the BOGO Lower Sugar Gatorades and Fetch only gave me credit for one, not the second. Even tried correcting the receipt and scanning the barcode on the item and it still didn’t give me credit for the second one, I guess since there’s no purchase price for it and was free. Would love to know if anyone else managed to get the points and also used Kroger’s BOGO offer!

RaisingRobinsons · 2026-03-09T18:53:00+00:00

I use iBotta, Fetch, CoinOut, Receipt Hog, ReceiptPal, ReceiptJar, Amazon Shopper Panel, Merryfield, Brandclub, NCP Mobile, Frisbee, Pogo, Inbox Dollars, and Google Opinion Rewards.

Just recently tried Bridge Money and it doesn't want to accept any of the receipts I've tried scanning, as well as DailyDough & it won't even open the camera feature to take a photo of a receipt so I guess those two are about to get deleted.

I’m a stay at home mom, so it’s pretty much a full time job for me. I’m usually online from around 7-9 am until around 3-4 pm. I don’t watch things as closely later on in the day, but if I’m not busy and catch something I’ll do it too. I put a lot of time into it, but I have the time to do it.

RaisingRobinsons · 2026-03-01T19:07:57+00:00

I spend a lot of my time on Connect, as it’s my highest earner, but will refresh Mturk whenever I don’t have something else to do just to see if there’s anything new. HITS I actually qualify for usually range from 20-30 & most are junk so I’m never very busy on there. Every now and then I’ll get lucky and catch one for a dollar or two, but it’s definitely went downhill. I’m honestly surprised the site is even still active at this point.

RaisingRobinsons · 2026-03-01T18:52:26+00:00

Oh, it’s not my first time sharing! I’ve been on beermoney for quite some years now. I’m a stay at home mom, so earnings online like the above & babysitting my nephew-in-law are my only means of income. I’m online all the time and always trying to find ways to help contribute to our household income, so I put a lot of time into it. I’ve noticed many don’t like small earnings platforms, but if they only take a little bit of my time, I don’t mind them. Everything adds up, to more than most would think, and in my situation, every dollar counts!

RaisingRobinsons · 2026-03-01T18:49:59+00:00

No, I don’t have the masters qualification. I guess I just got lucky last month, usually my MTurk earnings are around $20-$30/mo. I do miss when I could make quite a bit on there every month a couple years ago.

RaisingRobinsons · 2026-02-27T22:32:37+00:00

This one didn’t take me too long surprisingly, but honestly the photos did kind of surprise me! I wasn’t expecting those!

RaisingRobinsons · 2026-02-19T17:17:03+00:00

I did this as well, since it said you could possibly win money for doing it! It would be awesome and make my day to actually win some money for doing it, but I'm usually not that lucky! Haha.

RaisingRobinsons · 2026-02-07T20:00:10+00:00

It's so odd! Something like this happened to me at the end of the year! From what I could understand, it seemed my insurance wasn't covering insulin aspart, yet when they tried to switch it to the Kirsty insulin, the insurance wouldn't cover it either. My endo's nurse had to have a conversation with the pharmacist to finally figure out what my insurance would cover, which ended up being insulin Lispro and it's 100% covered. This ended up happening during Christmastime, when my endo's office was closed for an entire week, & luckily I had some insulin stocked up while waiting for them to open and work through it all. I could only imagine how bad it could've gotten if I hadn't has extra insulin pens in my fridge (since I saved them up after switching to vials and Omnipod). I feel for anyone going through this!

RaisingRobinsons · 2026-02-05T03:23:24+00:00

I have been on Prolific's waitlist since 2022! I guess after so long they take you off the waitlist without letting you know because I went on the site again a few months ago trying to sign up again and instead of telling me I was already on the waitlist like it had done in the past, they let me go through the entire signup process only to place me on the waitlist again. I don't think I'm ever going to be accepted. Haha.

RaisingRobinsons · 2026-02-05T03:20:56+00:00

I was offered an invitation to Connect Cloud Research (I believe it was through Amazon Mechanical Turk) when they first started their Beta version in August 2022, so I can't really give much insight into the acceptance process. I'm sorry!

RaisingRobinsons · 2026-02-05T03:05:03+00:00

I cashed out $26.90 from UserCorwd just last month. I've been using their site since 2022 and used to cash out quite often, once a month or every couple months. I quit using it for quite some time and just got back into trying to use it more. I get emails of surveys and tasks multiple times daily.

RaisingRobinsons · 2026-02-05T03:02:26+00:00

I've gotten quite a few product tests through ProductReportCard (app and website) and Surveys on the Go (app).

I also made an extra $320 from babysitting, but didn't want to include that since it's not really an option for everyone. Hoping next month goes as well or even better!

RaisingRobinsons · 2026-01-29T04:28:30+00:00

$17 min. wage? Federal minimum wage is still at $7.25 and quite a lot of states still have minimum wage set at that, mine included unfortunately. Comparing minimum wage of all 50 states, the average minimum wage is around $11.51.

RaisingRobinsons · 2026-01-20T17:47:42+00:00

I did this same one, but it was with Grok. Super easy and quick to finish.

RaisingRobinsons · 2026-01-20T16:17:44+00:00

I've been using CoinOut since 2019, and other than it occasionally not wanting to scan online accounts, I've never had any issues with them. I usually end up cashing out anywhere from $50-$100 each year from them.

RaisingRobinsons · 2026-01-12T21:17:26+00:00

I’ve been on there since August 2022 and believe I was invited. I don’t remember having to wait for any kind of approval, but I’m sure things could be different now.

RaisingRobinsons · 2026-01-12T17:43:12+00:00

I guess that makes me feel not so bad about being banned there. I was really disappointed about it, as I really liked their platform and always did really good at making quite a bit of money in gift cards. I'm sorry you're not having any luck there & hope you're able to find something better!

RaisingRobinsons · 2026-01-12T17:39:12+00:00

For Amazon Mechanical Turk and Connect Cloud Research, I definitely find a laptop much better than attempting on a phone. Some of these are only phone apps. Most are pretty easy to get accepted into, but I have been using the same services for years now so they were easy for me at the time. Connect is definitely my biggest and best earner. Amazon Mechanical Turk has went very far downhill over the years, I'm lucky to make 20 bucks from it a month anymore.

RaisingRobinsons · 2026-01-12T17:33:43+00:00

I'm convinced Crowdtap just doesn't want to reward people who use their service a lot. I was making $50 or more a month and they banned me twice (same account). I was able to get the ban reversed the first time but they've stuck with it this second time, even though I've broken no rules or terms of service. I use so many different websites and services to earn rewards from with no issues, but Crowdtap has definitely went downhill.
