Apologies for the unwanted blogging break!

My computer has died a slow agonizing death and I now have no access to the internet, leaving me unable to update my beloved blog as regularly as usual. I am now extremely miserable and plotting feverently to find a way to get back online as soon as possible. So please bear with me my lovely readers, I would hate to be bereft of your company any longer than I have to be.

If for the next month or so I give up buying food, heat, and electricity, I will probably be able to get a new laptop, and normal blogging service will be resumed. I promise to keep you updated on my progress in between fainting from hunger pangs ;) In the meantime you can contact me at meami_5@live.com (somebody please contact me I am completely isolated without the civilised world of the internet)
Please don't forget me?
Love a very unhappy Emma xx

Get paid to read and rate articles.

Interestingly enough, I have come across a site called Readbud, that actually pay you to read and rate short articles.

The whole thing is extremely simple to use. Sign up at Readbud for your free account, pick up to 50 topics that interest you, click on the articles tab, and read and rate articles related to your chosen topics of interest. Articles range in length from 100 - 1000 words. At the end of each article rate it's merit, and interest to you by giving it a rating out of five.

That's the good news! However......

The downside to the whole process seems to be the high payout rate. You can not cash out your earnings until your payment reaches $50. Coupled with the fact that each article read pays between 3 - 15 cents, depending on the word count of the article, the payout of $50 can take some time to reach!

Readbud states you can receive up to 25 articles per day. I have been using Readbud for a week now, and have only managed to receive a maximum of 13 articles per day. Earning me approximately $5 this week so far. It all seemed a little too good to be true, so I checked out a few reviews of Readbud through google. Out of ten articles, all proclaiming Readbud to be a great resource for earning money online, one of these articles stated reports of some Readbud users when nearing the $50 payout threshold, reporting a large drop in articles available. Some only receiving up to three articles a day. One Readbud user managed to persevere through this to reach the $50 required payout, only to be told they were not eligible for payment as they had not taken enough time reading articles, and merely skipped through them. Months wasted viewing articles to be told this? Why not tell this poor woman before she had wasted all her time reading articles for them?

Personally, I intend to carry on with Readbud. If only to discover if it is possible to earn money with this company? Look out for my follow up post in a few months to discover if Readbud deliver. Or give it a try yourself and let us know how you get on?
