Payments received: myLot and Homepages Friends

I recently received my first payment from myLot - a discussion-based social networking site that pays you for your contributions. The earnings are not staggering but it is nice to receive payment for sharing my opinions, which I would probably do on other forums for nothing. As with each of these sites it is always a bit of a gamble until you see the first payment turn up in PayPal and then you know that it is not a scam.

On the subject of scams, I was beginning to wonder whether Homepages Friends was above-board. They offer a front end to Yahoo's search engine that credits you with a little bit of money just about every time you use it. I had reached the minimum payment amount months ago but had not received payment. Just when I had given up with the site and stopped using it I was surprised to see a rather significant payment to my PayPal account.

It will be interesting to see whether they have sorted out their problems next time that I reach the minimum payment amount. Needless to say I will keep you all informed of my progress making pin-money on-line.
