MAKE CASH ONLINE REVIEWING NEW MUSIC
In my last post I spoke about "piece meal"-ing a bunch a gigs to get me closer to living full time in Costa Rica on US. dollars. Although this latest entry is not an lucrative gig, it sure is fun. The site is called Slicethepie. The site offers lay and experienced critics to review upcoming artists. Your constructive criticism allows feedback to the artists. As I said before the pay is not lucrative. For about a 4-5 sentence review pay is about 11 cents paying up to 30 cents depending on your content. The systems does detect spam and shallowing commenting. It is important to use colorful and meaningful adjectives. The system also detects repetitive use of words and content. Payment is made via paypal so keep this in mind at sign up to ensure proper routing of funds. With payment on the average of .10 cents per 90 second music sampling I figure I could average about 2.50 an hour. This is something I could do for about an half hour to an hour a day giving me about 30.00 dollars a month. Which is ironically the electric bill ( so says my landlady ) at my Costa Rican home. Please note, there is a timing system that does " time out ". So listen a little take a break and come back. This feature is beneficial for it refreshes the mind and allow for quality input.
Please resist the urge to download "bots" found on YouTube. This is cheating ( in my opinion ). This is what artist are using for actual feedback. After all music is for the soul, so lets speak from it. Taking the "bot" approach may very well be allowing "Junk" to enter the radio waves . Although these "bots" allow you to choose your adjectives, it still gives the feel of being generic. If you are at lost of words, just use a thesaurus. Call me a purest but when it comes to music, should we all be?

Become a User Tester make extra cash online
As always I'm looking for ways to make extra cash. It is my hope that eventually I can "piece meal" several gigs and break free from the "rat race" and enjoy the rest of my days on the beaches of Costa Rica while routinely working my online gigs. Until then I must continue. The last site that I have added to my resume is a neat site called User Testing. Below I have included an excerpt from the site :
How it works
- Website owners will pay to watch a real person use their site so they can discover where their site is confusing. UserTesting has a panel of “user testers” to do this. If you become one of our user testers, then whenever your demographic profile is requested, you’ll have an opportunity to earn money using a website.
- You use the online screen recorder to record a video of what’s happening on your screen – mouse movements, clicks, and keystrokes – and your spoken comments while you use the website you’re testing. (Videos are typically 15 minutes long.)
- You answer four questions in writing about your experience. .
- You’ll earn $10 (paid with PayPal).
Note: No webcam required. Your face is not recorded.
How to become a user tester
- Be at least 18 years old
- Have your own PC or Mac (Mac OS X 10.7 or higher) and a broadband Internet connection. You can record your voice with a microphone or by telephone.
- Use the screen recorder to record your screen and verbal comments as you browse a sample website.
- Fill out a one-page form with your demographic information (gender, computer experience, etc.).
- If you'd like to take mobile tests, own one or more of the following devices: iPhone, iPad, Android phone, Android tablet, Windows phone. Note: You will need to take a sample website test before you can take mobile tests.
