I have out of town guests coming this afternoon for a few days so am too busy to mess with much today or tomorrow but I am interested in more legit stay at home gigs. I started writing for eHow.com (owned by Demand Studios) over the summer but have become frustrated with their quirky bugs and crazy article sweeps and general lack of communication with their writers. The publishing bugs are rampant. I spend a long time writing an article then have crazy problems trying to get it published (sometimes it "eats" titles and then you've blown your keywords).

Then when I DO get something published that starts earning they go thru & delete things.

I lost 3 articles in the last sweep, 2 were starting to earn their fare share. It also appears that their ad revenue has been dropping since around mid-October. I had made payout every month until now. I do not think I will even hit the $10 minimum this month. Very sad operation over there. They also don't respond very promptly to reported bugs & issues. They run with a skeleton crew.
I have done some work on CloudCrowd but as others have said, their available work is hit & miss. They posted some work on Monday evening but I wasn't home when the email came out so I missed it. I tried some of those newer tasks but I feel their instructions for those are too complicated & time consuming for 50 cents...AND it's very easy to screw them up and ruin your credibility rating. I really wish they DID offer work 24/7 as they indicate they hope to eventually.
Crystal - could you PM me with more info. about your marketing opportunity? (I am NOT interested in putting any money out up front tho.)
Jenseib - about how much time was involved in the pay to click work for the $117? Would there be potential for more with more time? I would
definitely like to hear more about that one! I'd really, really like to figure out a way to make a couple hundred a week somehow! LOL... I know, I need to get a grip right?
Hope everyone has a good holiday...I'll try to check back in here later but for now I must get back to my housecleaning & T-giving dinner prep!!
