I Finally Made Payout! How About You?

When ehow shut down the WCP I was left with 30 articles and very discouraging earnings and not much to say about ehow, so this blog sat neglected since.....WOW....June 11th?....has it really been 4 months?

Time flies when you're not obsessing over ehow, I guess  = )

Anyway, I thought I would add some positive comments here about my earnings. I hope to hear more of the same from you so please go ahead and brag about you're Sept. earnings or feel free to vent if you're discouraged.

Although only a few of my 30 articles are making money consistently every month, I've been sooooo close to breaking that $10 minimum several times in the past. Well, last month I finally did it! I closed out September with $11.30.  I had only made payout one other time and that was in June of '09.

I would be very pleased if this became the norm going forward. Although 11 bucks won't even pay the internet bill, it would serve as a monthly reminder that the time I put into ehow was a good investment in my future. I'm going to think of any future payments I receive as interest on a savings account that I opened last year and forgot about.  I haven't been making any deposits to it but the amount I've already put in is slowly paying off.  

My earnings so far for October are $3.35 so it looks like a good possibility that I'm on track for another payout in November.  We all know it's too soon to make that assumption so I'll let you know how things turn out at the end of the month.

How are you doing with your articles that remain on ehow? Was September a good month for you too?

Redgage $25 Visa Card Arrives Quickly

Just a quick post to let you all know that my Redgage Visa Card arrived in the mail a few days ago. My balance at Redgage had grown to over $37 so I decided to request the minimum payment of $25 to see how long it would take to receive the card. I asked for my withdrawal on 5/21 and it arrived on 6/5, so that's about 2 weeks time for processing and mailing. I immediately followed the activation instructions that came with the card and verified the balance to be $25 to spend anywhere Visa is accepted. 

One thing I'm confused on is that the FAQ section of the Redgage site states that a $5 one time fee will be deducted from your first withdrawal to cover the cost of the card, so I'm not sure why I received the entire $25 on my card instead of $20. Maybe someone goofed and I'll get that deducted from my account at a later date. Either way, it's awesome to get paid this quickly for doing something fun and interesting from home.

My Redgage balance as of today is $12.98, so when I reach the $25 mark again I'll add it to my card electronically and instantly the next time.  Redgage also states that future withdrawals added to an existing Visa card will have a 5% fee deducted so I'll just have to wait and see if that is true. Has anyone requested the Visa card from Redgage and if so, have you noticed any fees taken out of the balance?
