Another way to make a little extra cash for our Disney funds

[PatriciaH]

They have been approving a lot of my September reviews but at $2 when they are $5 products. I had to e-mail them about two wines and a garden product (potting soil.) They fixed the printer/fax machine I got paid $2 for earlier this month (to $10) so hopefully they fix these 3.

Wow everyone is sooo quiet on this thread this week...you all must be busy uploading videos.... I still dont have but 20 uploaded for this month so I guess im going to be busy tonight and pray that I dont get shut out this weekend uploading...

I had to email expo a few times about some they miscategorized. I have about 20 more to upload to reach the cap for this month.

I still have a lot of $10 travel reviews sitting there from 9/19. I will be nowhere near the cap, so hopefully they get approved.

YEah, it is very interesting to me. Ihave about 30 total this month and it seems all the 5.00 ones are getting approved INSTANTLY, ALL of the 10.00 reviews I submitted (mostly travel ones) are still sitting there from two weeks ago, I just don't get it. I submitted 10 more DVD reviews this morning and all of them got approved, but none of the ones from 2 weeks ago, just can't figure this one out. I am thrilled with how it is putting a HUGE dent in our Disney vacation for June, 1100 total so far. YEAH!!!!!! Can't wait to see what the October promotion is.

They fixed my products to reflect the $5.

Has anyone ever done any online surveys or focus groups?

someone pmed me and asked me about survey sites and focus groups. i couldn't pm back cause of my post count so i thought i would try to respond here.

here is a list of online surveys and i belong to most of them. always get paid and most of the time the surveys are short and sweet. i don't make a lot of money - maybe $400 or $500 a year. might make more if i didn't let them pile up on me.

here is the link

I had 8 rejections today due to poor lighting. At least they rejected them prior to Oct and that they are getting approved quickly now. I'll get them redone tonight and maybe they'll be approved by tomorrow.

Also, DH and I each have a $10.00 item pending too! Dh was going to do a couple of travel reviews to finish off his cap, but I'd rather just have him do DVDs so they'll get approved quickly.

We are at disney, so not making videos right now. I am about to check in on mine, I had done 50 dvd's right off with no issues, then the 10 when they extended, 8 through immediately. 2 were sitting when we left. My best friend just got over 30 rejections and most of her DH's were too, most said poor lighting, seems to be the thing of the week!

 

[MNWDWMANIAC]

Just to let everyone know I have a large amount of $10 items waiting as well. DVD reviews seem to get done really fast. At times they are approved while I'm uploading the rest of the same bunch iIm working on.

There doesn't seem to be any set standard.

 

[popstar7867]

I got all of my travel reviews accepted from Sep. I think they review videos based on category, not by the expo member. It seems my reviews always get accepted according to which category they are in.

 

[Mellie2162]

I uploaded about 20 dvd last night and all of them are in received status still. I really should not have waited to the last minute to get these done but it was a busy month with school starting. Im going to be crying next month when I dont get paid if they dont accept my videos....

 

[mousehouselover]

I almost bought some $4 DVDs at Walmart this morning. Maybe I should pick them up and make some quick cash......... They have a pretty decent selection of movies I actually like.

My Epcot review was approved. It's filmed on location so it's pretty cool. http://www.expotv.com/videos/reviews/21/188/Epcot/181630

My garden grill review is also up.

Any details on October yet?

DH did some reviews on site at disney too, can't wait to upload those, but waiting for October in case of rejections!

Going to check out your disney ones dabute!

The ones from the 19th are starting to go through. They approved my Ft. Wilderness Campgrounds - http://www.expotv.com/videos/reviews/21/188/Fort-Wilderness-Campground/179974, my Hoop Dee Doo - http://www.expotv.com/videos/reviews/21/188/Hoop-Dee-Doo-Revue-at-Disney/179962, and my Osborne Lights reviews - http://www.expotv.com/videos/reviews/21/188/Osborne-Family-Dancing-Spectacle-of-Lig/179964. I'm now just waiting on my Disney Hilton Head Island review, some DVD's and the movie I saw last night. But those haven't been sitting there that long. I was so worried my travel reviews would somehow be denied.

Does anyone know what Octobers promo is as far as the products and amount of movies we can submit? Do you think it's the same as last month?

I was just going to ask the same thing! Expo's website is still showing the September promotion. . .

Maybe they will change it around 9:00 this morning, it's only 8:00 here in the eastern time zone.

 

[arb34@mchsi.com]

Just noticed October promotion--looks like same as September promotion. Same 60 video cap and same $2-$5-$10 payout breakdown. Was hoping they would raise the cap but, oh well.............
