I haven't done too much this month...I've been lazy...but here we go...
Appbank (Get paid to make quizzes and apps on facebook. *see note below*) - $5.20
Social Spark (Get paid to write sponsored blog posts. *This is from the referral program*) - $3.00
Jingit (Get paid to watch video ads.) - $0.25
Pinecone Research (Get paid $3 for every market survey you do.) - $24.00
Rate My Video (Get paid to watch youtube videos.) - $10.89
So the total I made this month was $43.34.
I am absolutely amazed that I was paid yet again by appbank because apparently they aren't paying anyone else. Complaints about them are all over the web and I can attest to the fact that they have completely stopped responding to questions, complaints, etc. so I don't recommend them simply because it looks like there is a good chance you might not get paid. Why the heck I'm still getting paid? Who knows? I make very little from them, so maybe that is why?
Rate My Video seems to go through spells of being awesome and then sucking (i.e. holding people's money). As of right now they're being awesome again...but for the most up to date info on them check out my scams page under the heading "Proceed with Caution".

Extra Money I Made Online in March
The month isn't quite over but I don't expect to get any more money today, but if I do I'll be sure to come back and update.
Social Spark (Get paid to write sponsored blog posts.) - $3.96 (I haven't done any sponsored posts in a while, so this is just money from the referral program.)
PostLoop (Get paid to post on forums.) - $5.02
Jingit (Get paid to watch ads.) - $0.25
Pinecone Research (Get paid $3 for every survey you take.) - $15
Rate My Video (Get paid to watch videos. NOT recommended at the moment, see below.) - $6.83
So in total I made $31.06.
I also got a full sized shampoo, conditioner and hair treatment and a bra from BzzAgent. (A site that sends you free stuff to try out and spread the word about it if you like it.)
I also just redeemed my SwagBucks points for a $5 amazon gift card but since I haven't actually received it yet I didn't include it in this month's stuff. Same goes for AppBank...I made the minimum cashout limit this month (which means I should see that money next month, but they are still shady as hell and I don't recommend getting involved with them. You can see my post about that here.)
As for Rate My Video...they started out as a wonderful way to make some extra cash. Videos paid pretty well but then all the good paying videos started disappearing and now you generally get ONE CENT per video (regardless of video length). Then they didn't pay anyone for a really long time. No explanation as for way or anything. They won't answer e-mails or respond to people on their facebook page. Then they did finally go ahead and pay everyone so we all thought everything was okay...but once again they have suddenly stopped payments with no explanation and the last thing anyone has heard from them was a comment on facebook saying that they were looking into "fraudulent activity". Now anyone that has experience with these making money online sites generally knows that an excuse like that usually means they are about to turn into a scam. Plus the COMPLETE lack of communication is always a bad sign. I have stopped rating videos until I get paid (they owe me about $6) so I don't recommend messing with this crappy company. Don't waste your time. If anything changes I'll be sure to post about it but I don't think it will.
***Update: 4/12/2013 Things seem to be going back and forth with Rate My Video. They FINALLY paid everyone but considering the constant paying and not paying they're doing, it's getting difficult to keep up with updates in these individual posts. So from now on please refer to my Scams page (not that I'm saying they are a scam, but I have a "proceed with caution" category on there and I'll be posting about Rate My Video there from now on.***

Extra Money I Made Online in February
I was out of town visiting my boyfriend so this is a little late...but here we go...
InstantCashSweepstakes (Get paid to take small polls.) - $2.00
Humanatic (Get paid to tag calls.) - $4.63
QuickRewards.net (Get paid to take surveys, click links, etc.) - $0.23
Pinecone Research (Get paid $3 for every survey you take.) - $6.00
Rate My Video (Get paid to watch videos.) - $10.24
So in total I made $23.10.
Humanatic used to be my best earner but as I mentioned in my last post...they've made a bunch of changes (and not for the better) so I think I'm done with them. Which makes Rate My Video my best earner now but unfortunately the way things are going with them you can only hope to make about 30 cents a day so that sucks...but at least they do pay and they haven't raised the minimum cash out (still currently $5.00).
I hardly ever use Quick Rewards (simply because I got burnt out doing surveys) but they remain one of my absolute favorite sites because they have no minimum cash out. So no matter how little you have in your account, all you have to do is request a paypal payment and you'll get it.

Humanatic and Rate My Video Updates
Lately the two best earners I've had have been humanatic and a newer site called RateMyVideo...but things change as they always do so I figured I'd give an update...
Humanatic
Humanatic keeps changing things and not for the better. It's my understanding that the minimum cash out has been raised from $5 to $10 which I find absolutely ridiculous. As if it isn't hard enough to make decent money on there (seriously, on my "good" days I managed to make about $10 a day but those good days are hard to come by and in fact, I've experience about 3 of them in the entire time I've used the site, which has been about a year now) here lately it has taken weeks just to make it to the $5 limit. And then they go and raise it? No thanks. I've always believed when a site pays you in pennies per task and then they raise the cash out limit it's because they want to get as much free work as possible because people realize "wow, this really sucks" and stop before they reach that amount and therefore, they never get paid.
It also seems that they have implemented some kind of "break room" thing which is a cute way of saying "penalty" for marking your calls too fast. I'm sorry but when the first words out of someone's mouth are "I'm interested in your blah blah blah" that is a NEW BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY. It isn't rocket science. But thanks for making me stop for 30 seconds so that when I get to go back to the calls they are all gone. I really appreciate that.
I no longer feel that humanatic is worth my time and effort but it was nice while it lasted.
Rate My Video
***UPDATE: The last time Rate My Video has sent any payments out was Feb. 27, 2013. As of this update it is March 10, 2013 and no one has been paid. Rate My Video has not been responding to the many (and I mean many) comments about this on facebook and they are not responding to e-mails either. No announcements have been made about this at all. It appears they've become a scam. I'll keep you guys updated if anything changes.***
***2nd UPDATE: Okay, they FINALLY said they'd pay us on March 14, 2013 and we got paid on March 15, 2013. But their horrible lack of communication makes me think this is something that could turn into a scam later on so at this point I have no choice but to say proceed with caution with this one.***
***3rd UPDATE: Rate My Video has once again stopped payments with no explanation. The only thing anyone has heard from them is a comment on their facebook page saying they are looking into "fraudulent activity". If you've had any experience with these making money online sites you probably know that more often than not, that is code for "we aren't going to pay you". As for now I've stopped doing anything on the site until I get paid the money they owe me and I recommend everyone else do the same.***
*** 4th Update: 4/12/2013 Things seem to be going back and forth with Rate My Video. They FINALLY paid everyone but considering the constant paying and not paying they're doing, it's getting difficult to keep up with updates in these individual posts. So from now on please refer to my Scams page (not that I'm saying they are a scam, but I have a "proceed with caution" category on there and I'll be posting about Rate My Video there from now on.***
Rate My Video is a newer site that I wrote about not too long ago (you can read about it here). For a while they had some pretty decent paying videos on there but it seems we can kiss that goodbye. They are constantly saying that they are looking for better paying clients but I seriously don't see that happening. I hope I'm wrong and I guess only time will tell. But if you use this site you can expect to see 30 videos a day to rate and each one (regardless of length) will pay one cent. You read that correctly. So you will make $0.30 a day which means you'll make about $9 a month. Fortunately you still only need $5.00 to get paid and they pay automatically which is nice. So I will continue using the site for now but it's up to everyone to decide what making money sites are worth using or not.
So that's my update. Since I'm no longer going to mess with Humanatic I'm on the lookout for some better opportunities. Wish me luck. =)

Extra Money I Made Online in January
Time for my extra money income report. I could have probably done better but I spent most of the month being absolutely miserable with the flu...so it was a crappy month lol...
Humanatic (Get paid to listen to and tag phone calls.) - $24.47
Jingit (Get paid to watch videos.) - $0.10
Pinecone Research (Get $3 for every survey you take.) - $6.00
Rate My Video (Get paid to watch videos.) - $31.97
So in total I made $62.54.
And....
Swagbucks (Get points for searching, taking polls, etc.) - $5 amazon gift card
I could have made more but I was so sick this month that there were a lot of days I didn't even get online and the few times I did I just didn't feel like doing anything. I had quite a few survey invitations from Pinecone Research that I just deleted lol....but still, $62.54 isn't bad for someone that was that sick. =)
In my last post I reviewed Rate My Video and said they just might become one of my best earners. Well, seeing as how I made more with them this month than I did with Humanatic, I guess that's true, at least for now. I've noticed there aren't quite as many high paying videos on there lately and way too many videos that only pay one cent. But this was my first full month with them so I guess I'll just have to wait and see how things go. They also updated the browser extension that you have to use and so far all the bugs I mentioned seem to be gone, so that is great.
And then there is poor old Jingit. They almost never have any videos to watch. I don't know what's going on with them but I wouldn't be surprised if they shut down soon. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
