I got an email from a longtime reader, Mike, a few weeks ago and it goes like this,
I feel like I’m doing $200 worth of work for $100. I want to make it work, then get others to do it too… but I don’t know…Thanks though. I’ve made at LEAST $3,000 in the past year–less time than that, really–from your hustles. thanks!
Mike wrote to me about OptionsXpress and how the manager gave him an extra $15 in his account for some troubles with verifying his account. Anyways, his email got me thinking, “How much have you personally made from all the bonuses, saving tips, hustles, etc etc from this website alone?”. When I first started this website, it was an exciting time because everything was new and bonuses were popping up everywhere. Writing was easy and contagious. With less bonuses showing up, I find it more difficult to write meaningful posts about making/saving money.
Currently, I’m going through a big transition in my professional career that would allow more free time. The posts haven’t been top notch lately. Expect to see fresh content coming soon in about a week. I hope to get more ideas from my readers and what you like best. Feel free to contact me via email. Thanks.

Hmm So far not so much – I only started reading recently though.
I got a VirtualBank referral from you for $20, but I’m having trouble with the address verification because I moved recently. I’m pretty sure it is straightened out and we will both get the 20 dukes.
I am doing the dockers pants thing too.
I also took some of your advice on Sero. I called near the end of my first month saying I wanted to quit and got a $50 statement credit. I was also able to get 400 bonus mintes free per month by going over in my first month and calling trying to upgrade my package. I told them I was on a family plan before and didn’t know how many minutes I would use since I could call my family for free, which is true. I asked to be allowed to retroactively upgrade the plan. Instead she gave me 400 free bonus mintues every month.
I have a SERO tip that I think you are missing. I got $50 from upromise for regeristering my new line of service with them. All you have to do it order online from the SERO website and them enter your number at Upromise (it is under the other services section) within 60 days and you will get $50 per new line of service up to $250/5 lines every 2 years I think.
Anyway my expected hustler blog haul is:
$20 referral
$28 hulk movie tickets
$75 shell gas card
$10 sears card
$50 sprint statement credit
total $183 but I’m looking forward to more in the future.

The banks are bleading and that is why they offer less bonuses.
I made a few hundred and thanks.
So far probably $100 from this website. Since I’m a hustler too, I found some of the same info before you posted it here. But thanks for the Bank of America sign-up bonus tip, I went back to my bank to get the $75, and ended up getting $100.
Hustle on!
