In December 2022 I wrote 6 posts here at MyLot. “People of Facebook : Asking if I could talk” was the most popular receiving 28 responses. In 2022 I wrote a total of 84 posts.
My online earnings for the month was
- $12 Amazon e-gift card from Amazon Shoppers Panel ( panel.Amazon.com )
- $41.11 PayPal from home.Ibotta.com
- $10 PayPal from MyPoints.com
- $25 Amazon e-giftcard from ncponline.com
- $10 Amazon e-gift card from ReceiptPalapp.com
- Won a childrens Usbourne book
In December I didn’t find or hide any geocaches but I found 150 for the year.
I didn’t want watch any tv shows but I did watch one movie “Game over, man”. I didn’t read any books in December and only read 5 the whole year.
I had a great month for testing out products. I received 10 different ones and expect January is going to be an excellent month for this as well.
I tried out 14 new recipes making the total of new ones tried was 107. In December my favorite new recipes I tried were Red velvet cheesecake cupcakes and Craberry pistachio bliss bars.

. I rarely abandon a book either but sometimes I just realize it’s wasting my time which is valueable.

You seem to have kept a diary of your activities. I wish I did that too.

@allknowing I’m weird about all the things I write down. Lists upon lists 
. Each month I start a new note and fill in as I go through the month that helps me keep track of my online earnings and books read etc

@jstory07 thank you! I was so worried I wouldn’t have enough gift cards and money to buy everyone I needed Christmas gifts but I managed to have just enough with $70 left over. My nephews birthday is in 19 days so I’m glad I still have a little cash left.

@spiderdust mypoints and myLot are the two I am most loyal to. I have been doing mypoints for 20 years.

@spiderdust I would assume so. Points didn’t use to expire on sites but the past few years they have. I lost points on many sites and quit them as I just don’t have time for them.

@shaggin Yeah, I started on there in 1998. I'm sure I still have an account, although my points have likely expired.

Wow, it looks like you had a very productive month. Good for you. I have some Mypoints points that I haven't redeemed yet. Thanks for the reminder. I think I will use them for an eBay gift card. You did well with iBotta. I have only used it one time. I gotta get going with it.

@Kouponkaren I had enough points I could have gotten over $50 for a gift card but they were all out so I had for redeem for two $5 ones. I should look and see if they have higher amounts now to cash out the rest of my points.
I don’t earn often on Ibotta because I rarely buy name brand items.

@snowy22315 quite a few mostly Walmart Spark reviewer and Influenster give me the most things to test out. Product report card sometimes I get products to test and get paid for the survey and product test about $5 usually.

Awesome, and you had a great month! I'm starting to keep track of my monthly earnings again. Do you find that one of these sites offers a lot of product tests, if so, which one? I have only been using InboxDollars lately I did get one product test (in the mail) and one online community group - which usually has a bit higher payout and is just kind of fun. But not like I used to - I feel like I used to, with Opinion Outpost, get like several product tests a month. *Shrug*.
Hope 2023 is even more prosperous for you!

@maezee the only survey site that I do that has me test out products is Product Report Card. I usually get $5 for doing it but I really like the free samples the most. Influenster is an app/site that sends me the most products to test out but they don’t pay me to do it. I have to do things like share reviews on sites and share photos on Instagram and Facebook etc.

@Nakitakona I saved up my earnings on a lot of sites and needed Christmas gifts so I cashed out many sites. I can relax a little more now but there are still birthdays coming up I need to save for.

@Nakitakona I don’t like to ask my husband for money for gifts for people including ones for him.

@shaggin That's good for you. I appreciate you for being saving conscious or thrifty so to speak.
