anyone know? im thinking they are going under at this website. it was just to good to be true but i guess all good things end. 
sorry for the people i have led there and gotten on board with my link. when i started you could just read e-mail from her and answer her blog and get 2000 points, which added up to 25 bucks a month for just 3 minutes time a day. then, suddenly, she is saying, you dont get points for making friends, veiwing websites, etc. now shes saying you dont get points for answering her blog or reading her email, so my question is, What the heck do you get points for?
not much use if she thinks we are just going to look around her website for nothing, when we have things like swagbucks and here, mylot, and mypoints to make money on, right?

I had signed up there, but never did much. I haven't been there in months. I just signed up to get the lady off my back. I think I even removed her reflink from the browser because I didn't want her thinking she could get ahead by abusing me. I don't use swagbucks either, but it is more a matter that I haven't looked at it.

Swagbucks is easy and fun. I earn about as much as I do here, or a little more. It is not a social site, but it is a good earning site if you do any searching online.

Most of the searching I do is related to school and they expect scholarly articles so I usually use the school's library to find those. Thanks for the info!

yes you could have made some money there very easily. but just last week they changed all that and now its just a website. i was making 25 bucks a month, just for answering her blog, and couple other things. about 3 minutes a day. thats more then you can make here or any other site. but alas all good things seem to end for me.

This seems so typical. I have seen several that change their guidelines after afew months. The 2000 points sounded nice but the way they count it all up it isn't much. I don't visit it very often just because it isn't very interesting or much to do. I think they thought that she would get alot more takers on her business opportunity there. Not!

I made good money there for a while. They say the contests, and offers, and building a downline will help you earn. I built my downline before they did all this. There is nothing to offer anyone,at this time. I will check in from time to time to see if anything changes, but right now it is not too hopeful.

i really think Jenny was new at this. it seems she started it all wrong. to much pay for to little browsing and so i believe she didnt much know how to run it. she will learn next time i guess.1 person likes this

Jenny does not own SideTick. She is just an employee. Just like Shawn A. The owner did start out giving away the store, and then had to decrease and decrease. So a lot of people joined and now a lot of people are leaving.

GG did I not speculate that Jenny blog would come to a halt. I did not believe for a second that they would allow us to earn long term for simply answering and running out. I am removing everything sometime this week and I will be leaving because there is no consistency there, I am stuck at 28,000 points which now I will never see. *sad*

Probably they aren't taking in enough revenue to pay their users. Sad...

RIP Sidetick. It has gone the way of most websites, it is now a scam, where the time you need to invest to earn money is at rip-off levels.
Interestingly, they seem to have paid me $50 instead of $25 on my last cashout, has this happened to anyone else?

I had signed up on there and I was actually active for a while. However, then they made that last batch of changes and it was kind of boring for me at that point because of the fact that I didn't personally know any of my friends on there so it was too much like work to go on and do the two activities on a daily basis. And now this, I would love to be able to make my payout with them so that I could be done with it, but for right now it isn't going to happen. Oh well, you win some and you lose some.

I have given up on it, I think. It was supposed to be a site to make money socializing, but now it does not seem to be that way. I wish them well, but I think it is going to backfire on them.

Hi Sweet
I am very ticked of them, even after they stopped giving points for viewing I stayed hoping they will improve, but now they don't do the 1000 ticks for email any more and they have come up with stupid Ideas I am not hanging around I just hope I get the Payout that I have claimed and then I am of there
I will be deleting all my Photos of there today
And looking at the reaction of People the Site will go down there is nothing there now to keep People
I will keep an eye on it and hope it will go back to what it was but I doubt it and I somehow do not think that I will get my payment either but I could be wrong

I also am not very happy with the changes. It was easy and fun. I am disappointed and I couldn't find another way to make money there now. take care.

yes thats what im thinking. she really needed another pull to get people there and participating if she was going to stop paying.
