Got Money - December's Final Payouts

The month of December was really my first full month in the blogging arena. I have not made a fortune so far, but my payouts for websites that offer "get paid to" services are posted below.
eBay Bracelets -you guys may be wondering what happened to the eBay bracelets that I bought to resell. I bought them for around $.50 each through eBay from merchants with the intent of reselling them. I got them home, and they look like something you would give to small children at a birthday party. Not resell material. This happens to me about 1 in 3 or 4 times I buy something off of eBay, but I still love them. It really isn't the merchant's fault. I have preformed expectations of the product. While the product looked as pictured, I expected the bracelets to be bigger. I ended up giving the earrings and the bracelets for Christmas presents. I think I will steer clear of becoming an eBay reseller in the future. Maybe electronics...
GDI - I test marketed them, and noone took the bait. My verdict: not the easy, get rich quick scheme they promised. My trial was also not free. In fact, they charged me double. I disputed the charge through PayPal, and they gladly refunded my $10.00. No complaints here. GDI may not be a scam, but I would still be careful. I am probably missing out on millions, but out of 1000 page views of their turnkey website, I did not have one sell.
In the end, I decided not to include the sales of my old textbooks because they really required an investment that was larger than the profit that I made when I sold them back. I hope next month is more profitable.

Got Money - Platinum Lounge

I was so excited when I checked my PayPal and found money from another paying site! Platinum Lounge is so fun! It's hard to actually believe that they pay you. They don't have a lot of rules, you can tastefully promote your blog or get paid to links, making money is relatively easy, and this site is definitely for hipsters, which works out perfectly for me. This is an awesome lounging site devoted to hiphop music, celebrities, and even helping you to find other ways to make money. Platinum Lounge has also generated the first ever user generated movie, "All Eyes On Me".

It takes a little while to get paid, but you can have lots of fun while posting. I spent around 8 hours one night posting music videos for rap songs that related to just about every post I came across. It was very entertaining, and the 8 hours passed very quickly. Platinum Lounge is a great site for newbies because it requires no experience, training, html, or web design knowledge. As you can probably tell, I recommend this site, especially for those of you looking to earn spare pocket change for the things you like to do on the web anyway.

Platinum Lounge - Cool Metropolitan Site, I Think...

Here is a site that I am on frequently -

I saw this posting about a site on Gather. Okay - my curiosity was picqued. It leads you to a site called "Platinum Lounge" that pays you to post to a forum. They pay once every two weeks. The payment system is not clear to me, yet. I am not posting a video until I have more information that you could use. It seems like a really cool site started by an African-American star. They pay you to post on topics like eBay, blogging, and the latest clothing styles. It seems pretty fun. I wish I could figure out the payment structure. I know that there are a lot of posts. When I follow the directions, I can't find my status. I will more than likely do an update, if I remember.

Click here to sign up for Platinum Lounge.

Hopefully, I will do a video. This is the link to theirs(done with better special effects):

Update: This is a legit site. I have been paid. Click here for the post on proof of payment. This site is really fun, you meet great people, and I think it is the highest paid site for socializing. Of course this may be because I have so much fun socializing and posting to it...
