I submitted my first review on Softwarejudge.com, and the next day, I logged in to see a payment of $1. Not too bad, but considering the stress involved in downloading a program, installing it, and then reviewing it's performance, a dollar seems like quite a paltry sum.
They promised to pay "up to $50". Well. seems more like "up to $1" to me.
Like everything else, you don't give up at the first try. I'll download some more software, review them, and if I still get paid a flat rate of $1 per review, then I know I have to make 100 reviews to reach payout.
That's FAR OFF.

Pay-per-play - Earn from audio ads!
There is a new earning opportunity called Pay Per Play Ads and the idea is really revolutionary. Pay-Per-Play pays you to serve 5-second audio ads to your web page visitors. It seems simple enough. All you do is insert a short code into the html code of your blog or site you can enable voice ads being heard when a person visits your website. No space on your homepage or any other pages will actually be used and the content of ads will be relevant to the topic you write about. Your visitors will not have to click anywhere to listen to an audio, so your income will not be dependant on how many people did decide to click on it. Also since this type of ads does not violate the terms of service of Google Adsense, you can run those two programs on your site at the same time. Even if your visitors have no speakers attached and cannot hear ther ads, as long as the ads play successfully, you get your money. The program is still in beta stage and will take off fully on February 1st, but it would be a really good idea to get in early and start building referrals.

Times are definitely hard - a crazy story
I came across this article on bbc.com. Crazy things keep happening.
Here's the headline:
"Two men face trial after wheeling their dead friend
down a Manhattan street in an alleged attempt to cash his Social
Security cheque."
The two men wheeled their dead friend all the way from their flat to a shop, in an attempt to cash his social security check, worth $355.
Apparently, they had tried to cash the check earlier but the clerk requested that their friend be present there. This prompted the two men to go back to their flat, dress up the corpse and then wheel him straight to the shop.
This attracted the attention of passers-by and the police were notified.

Making Money Or Wasting Time?
Over the years, many earning opportunities have popped up on the web, one of the most notable being Paid-To-Read (PTR) programs. These guys supposedly pay you to read emails which are sponsored by their advertisers. Sounds like a good enough plan. The only problem there is; the advertisers pay little, and in order to make profits, the payments made to members are peanuts. Many of us got on the PTR train, and after seeing the general destination, got off as fast as we could. They just don't pay well enough to stress yourself over them. The ones who promise above 5 cents per mail are probably frauds. The ones who promise $10 per email are DEFINITELY frauds.
Sadly, lots of people still join these programs, and they learn the hard way. At the price of 0.05 cents per mail (like many of them pay), how many months will it take to accumulate even $10?
All the same, it acts like a baptism of fire for the new online earning converts, and they generally leave these programs smarter and more internet savvy.
Other money-making schemes have overtaken these PTRs and they will probably just fade away naturally over time. Programs like some paid-to-post and "blogging for cash" programs pay by far better, and seem to be more sustainable.
There are a couple of "paid to blog" programs which I am checking out, and I when finish, I will write about them.

A new year - a fresh start
Okay, now this is one of those "I'm back after a long time out" posts.
Last year was totally crazy and I spent little time on blogging. With the new year comes a change in attitude (or blogitude, if there's such a word!). I now have much more time on my hands and all my readers can be assured of a regular stream of genuine online earning opportunities (and of course, my crazy ramblings).
I'd like to wish everyone a happy new year, and more success with earning on the net!
