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

[jacksonsmom]

We got 2 approvals! They are both movie reviews that I just uploaded last night.

We are still waiting for 18 more. We will do more on Friday evening, My goal is to have at least 50 videos total by the end of the month-- more if possible.

Okay, I finally got my videos uploaded!! I guess I had my camera on the wrong setting before. So I have 20 videos pending right now. My memory card will only hold 10 videos at a time, so that's all I can do each day because that totally drains my batteries and then they need to recharge. What a pain!! And I hate seeing myself on those videos too. But you gotta do what you gotta do to get back to Disney, right?!?!

So does expotv send you tax papers at the end of the year for your returns? Or doesn't it need reported? Anyone been doing it long enough to know???

Did you try turning off the screen for the camera? I did this and get a LOT more out of the batteries! It was sucking em up like crazy before. Also, they said they send tax forms after you earn $600 in a calendar year

Your lucky.

I just uploaded my first batch on Sunday night. I've read it can take a while for them to be approved. Here's hoping.

I've been uploading here and there, and recently started doing more a day. I took today off though. LOL...Maybe Tonight I will do the rest.

I finished recording mine for the month and am uploading the last 15 or so now!

Can't wait to get paid!

what I do is open up 2 internet explorer windows at the same time. I have AOL but for some reason I cant get it to work through that browser. So I put all the info into one internet explorer window and upload then I go to the other one and do the next one. By the time I get the info into the second window, the first has finished uploading and I can start doing the next one in there.

Yes, or you can spend time on the Dis while you are waiting.

I just went ahead and switched to a webcam because of this. Plus I think it saves a little time since the video is on your computer immediately after filming. No waiting for the videos to download from your camera. Just my personal preference.

I didn't realize this thread was going on until today. Cool beans! I signed up after reading Jennifer's taboo post and have gotten paid for June already. Here's looking at a productive July and August! I've gotten about 37 done this month so I'm a long way off from my 100 goal .

 

[jcemom]

I'm trying to upload my first 7 videos now... wish me luck!

 

[MomofCKJ]

They just approved 6 more of mine! I sat and refreshed and watched my earnings screen go up! I am at $40.09 right now with another 15 pending and another 6 in the can ready to upload. Going to try and make as close to 100 as possibly by Tuesday and then aim to do a few each day in August to make the max.

This is SO cool!

I am trying to upload a review to expo. My upload is hung on step 4 "accept the Videopinions Agreement and upload your video" for 20 mins. Then it said "Waiting a response from video server..." The long bar that is supposed to show upload-progress is blank. I thought it didn't take, so I tried the process all over again. Same thing.. it has been 15 mins and it says "Waiting a response from video server..." Is this an error or should I just leave it alone?
thanks in advance, tink

 

[MomofCKJ]

I would leave it. My bar never fills in and they do take a long time to upload. I would say mine seem to take around 10-12 minutes. I just load them at night while we are watching tv and keep running back and forth to load the next one. I would just leave it and let it sit.

Mine hasn't been working tonight - and it usually does. I wonder if it's high traffic or something. I get the screen saying uploading and then it eventually goes back to where I have to pick the file to upload. Oh well, the rest are ready to go (12 more to upload to make my 100)

For those of you using webcams can you share with us which ones you have? How do you know when you are buying one if they do videos? Ive never used them before so im afraid I am clueless.

Also to the person who suggested turning off the LCD, can you do this on all cameras? Im eating batteries like crazy.

My boyfriend just got a webcam. They are pretty much made to do video. Just make sure it has a mic in it, will work with your pc, what format it records in, etc.

I'm not sure if all cameras can shut off the LCD, I just hit buttons on mine and figured out how to do it. It helped a LOT

This is EXACTLY what is happening to me!!! I have been trying to upload the same review for the past hour and a half. Wouldn't you know it, I finally figure out how to get the video from camera to computer to easy share to expo and now expo won't work?

This is what mine keeps doing. I haven't been able to upload any yet.

It must be the traffic because mine is doing the same thing. Think I'll just wait until tomorrow because it's getting frustrating.

I just got another one approved! This is the one my hubby and I had LOTS of fun with, so please check it out. My name is strasfamily there too, it is the one for the guinea pig treats.
