Tagvillage soft launch went live a little more than 3 hours ago. Everything seemed to be working just fine. People were actively buying tags. The most popular ones were obviously all the big names like iPhone, Google, Amazon, Apple, etc. I got to participate in this crazy battle for 'big' tags and was quite excited about it because I knew that soon their price would be driven up way out of my price range. Well this excitement did not last long because soon I found out that, while my credit balance was reduced every time I bought a tag, I was not always credited whenever someone bought a tag from me. This applies mostly to all the 'big' tags because they were selling like hot pancakes and my guess is the system could not keep up with everything and completely mixed things. In the end, while I bought the tag 'google' about 5-6 times, I was not credited for selling it even once. Needless to say, I ran out of credits very fast and could not buy any more tags.
I was relieved to find out that I am not the only person with this problem. Pretty much everyone on tagvillage was affected by this and sent countless e-mails to the admins, who told us that an update about this whole situation is going to be posted in the News section later today. I have no idea how they are going to take care of this. At this point, the only plausible solution seems to be starting the whole thing over again after the trading platform gets fixed.
Now we wait...

Tagvillage Review - it's Kooday + social networking
*Update* I just read the latest news on tagvillage and registrations will not be closed during soft launch. This means that you can go ahead and register if you'd like. Since they are keeping it invite-only for now, you can register through one of my links.
Ever wish you joined Kooday at the very beginning? Well, there is a new money-making project on the horizon, and it is going to be pretty similar to Kooday.
The name of this project is tagvillage. It is currently in pre-launch. However, soft-launch is only days (literally) away. Soft-launch is going be pretty much like a test phase during which the developers will get a chance to see at how functional the site is and take note of things that they might need to work on a bit more. New members will not be able to register during soft-launch. However, once the site is ready to launch, registrations will open once again. I don't know if they are going to be by invitation only (like in pre-launch) or if anyone will be able to sign up. If you are quick enough to read this before the soft-launch, you may sign up for tagvillage right now through my invitation link.
What is tagvillage going to be all about, anyway?
Like I already said, part of it is going to be very similar to Kooday. Those familiar with Kooday know that Kooday is all about buying/selling keywords and accumulating profit-share-credits from it. Once a week, users are paid based on how much profit shares they have. This is a very very basic explanation of what Kooday is and how it works, so if you want to know a bit more, you can check out one of my older posts on this.
Tagvillage is going to have a pretty much identical keyword buying program. However, on tagvillage, keywords are called 'tags' and the two terms are actually a bit different. Tags are more dynamic and encompassing than keywords. There is a great article on the difference between the two in this Facebook group (you might have to join it before you can find and read the article. It is also available on the tagvillage site, but I am not sure if non-members can access the page. You can still try by clicking here).
Just like Kooday, tagvillage is going to let users buy/sell tags and get profit share credits. Users will be paid every Monday. How much you make depends on how many profit share credits you have.
This is where similarities between tagvillage and Kooday end. Unlike Kooday, tagvillage is going to have a whole social network side to it, where members will be able to interact and earn points from doing different activities. These points are also going to go towards your weekly earnings. Basically, tagvillage will pay you for being an active member. I cannot give any more details about this right now because nobody actually knows yet how exactly this tagvillage social network is going to work. Once the soft-launch happens, I will be sure to post an update about my experiences and opinions on tagvillage.

Kooday payment proof
Hey everybody, and Happy New Year! I finally have some free time, which means that I can make some posts now!
Let's start with Kooday. I've been with them since August and it's been a long, drawn-out ride so far. Their search engine is still not officially launched, however users are encouraged to perform searches in order to test it for now:
In the latest update from Kooday, we were told that most of the programmers are on vacation, but when they are back, we should expect a lot of important/exciting news and upgrades. One of these upgrades is the long overdue new design for Kooday. Like I've mentioned before, the registration page looks very shady and not at all welcoming. It makes Kooday appear like a cheaply designed scam site, and I won't be surprised if many members decided not to register and participate because of this scary design.
Which brings me to the point of this post. About 3-4 weeks ago, I requested my first money withdrawal from Kooday. Today, I finally received it in my AlertPay account! Here is proof of payment that shows that Kooday does pay:
I now have 25,000 profit share credits on Kooday, which earn me about $5.00 a week. The minimum withdrawal amount is $5.00, so basically I can request a withdrawal every week! I am currently waiting on my 2nd withdrawal, which should arrive sometime next week.
If you'd like to join Kooday, click here. Once again, don't be thrown off by the poorly designed registration page (this will change very soon). All of the interesting Kooday bits (news, FAQ, updates, messages from developers) are only available to members. You don't have to pay to register. You only pay if you want to participate in buying and selling keywords.
I'm off now until the next update! Cheers!

Opinion Outpost balance
The first check I ever received from a paid online survey panel was from Opinion Outpost. As I wrote before, this is one of my favorite survey panels. Their surveys pay well and they send you a good amount of them every week. Here's a screen shot of my current balance on Opinion Outpost:
If you want to check them out, click here.
All of this money was earned through completing surveys and by referring people. Their referral program is very cool. Opinion Outpost pays you $2.00 for the first survey that your referral completes. So if you are good at recruiting people, this is a great way to make money online.

Updates coming soon
I apologize for the lack of updates in the past month. Finals week is coming up very soon for me, so most of my attention has been focused on studying. However, right after I'm done with it, there's a lot to talk about: Kooday, ApSense, MyTesterJobs, OrbisTrends HYIP, survey sites, focus groups, online poker and much more!
