Readbud: A Work at Home Stream of Income or Not?

I have come across this webste called Readbud, and am very curious about it--has anyone made money with Readbud? This is information from the website:

"Readbud offers you a unique opportunity to involve yourself in an exclusive online experience where you get paid to read and rate interesting articles relevant to your actual interests."

Basically, you read and rate articles based on topics you select when you register (which is free btw,) and you get paid. Sounds simple enough. When you reach the $50 threshold, you can get paid through Paypal.

I have not signed up, nor have any direct experience with Readbud to share, and am not an affiliate either.  But I would love to hear from anyone that has joined up, and am interested to know if you have made money with this program.  You can check out the site at http://www.readbud.com/.

Thanks!

 

Work at Home: Review Movies and TV Shows

Here is a possible work from home resource to add to other various income streams:  An online publication is looking for someone to write reviews of HD television broadcasts and Blu-ray Discs.

From the Job Listing:

 "This is not a full time job but we can guarantee your reviews will be read by hundreds if not thousands of readers. Compensation could come in the following ways: New Blu-ray Discs in exchange for the review, $20 per review (5 max per month), or promotion of your own blog or writing through the articles (this may be the most valuable to website owners looking to have their sites get more valuable traffic)."

 Good Luck!

Get Paid To Review Websites

I have mentioned this work at home resource before on this blog, but thought it was worth writing about again. This is more of an "extra income source,"  than a steady money maker. Think of it as just one more possible income stream to add to others you may already have going.

Usertesting.com will pay $10 for every website you review, and you will be paid through Paypal. Basically, reviewers will provide feedback and comments so site owners can get some 3rd party input at a reasonable cost.

You will spend about 20 minutes reviewing a website, which can mean about $30/hour. However, the website cautions that you may make less money, or even no money (if you do not get selected to do any reviews.)

To become a tester, it is pretty simple--

1. Be at least 18 years old
2. Have a computer running Windows XP or higher and a broadband Internet connection. You can record your voice with a microphone or by telephone.
3. Fill out a one-page form with your demographic information (gender, computer experience, etc.).
4. Download and run their software to record your screen and verbal comments as you browse a sample website.
