So long, FusionCash folks. I had fun earning pennies with y'all.
But just recently I calculated how much time was being wasted and now I'm not going to be doing this anymore. Yes, I know pennies add up, but if you spend 15 seconds to make one penny (and believe me, a lot of the pennies on this site take more than 15 seconds to get), then you are making 2.40 an hour, which is less than half minimum wage.
You would be far better off getting a real job, even if it is at McDonalds.
But does this mean that FusionCash is useless? Not for everyone. You can make more than 2.40 an hour if you make those pennies AND have referrals (talk to oldbuddy for hints). I personally wouldn't be able to get referrals because all of the people I know have a good enough job that FusionCash wouldn't really help them.
So for me, and anyone else who doesn't do referrals, FusionCash isn't worth the time: apply to a nearby shop or a call center.

Good luck in your future endeavors, Fusion cash is definitely not for everyone and it would be difficult to make as much as you could make at a part time job. Although look on the positive, you never need to leave your house.
-
Good luck to you. yes FC isn't for everyone. But since I'm gonna be on the computer anyway, why not try to make a few pennies here and there? It's not much but every little bit helps.
-
Good luck out there. We're all here for different reasons, I'm sure, and this isn't for everyone, but it is reliable. It fits into my routine and I find every little bit helpful. :wave:

I always find this comparison funny. When you find a call center that lets you set your own hours, work from home, come and go as you please, wear whatever you want, take breaks whenever you want -- then it's a fair point. But till then it's just apples and oranges. I mean, with the forum posting bonus, we literally pay some members just to complain about us. Try to find that at an hourly job!

Well best of luck to you, if you just don't like it here, it's really not for everyone.
I personally don't look on FC as a "Job", it's just the best of many GPT sites that provide a steady monthly PayPal payment for being here about 20 minutes per day.

As far as referrals, as of this morning I have 210 of them, and don't know a single one of them personally. They all came via my referral links posted on my blog. None of the people I know would be remotely interested in something like this site, because they'd rather do other things.
Anyway, just be sure you cash out before you stop logging in. There are some people like you who felt this just wasn't the place for them, and stopped logging in while they were still holding a balance. Then a few months later they changed their mind, only to discover that their earnings had expired because they didn't cash out in time. Best of luck and if you ever change your mind, this site will still be here keeping a light on! :peace:

I seen several members that post over 30 complaint posts a month without realizing that they are in fact getting paid to do that

I don't have referrals and I make more than enough to cashout every month. Between this site and some others I basically make as much as I did working a part time job while I'm sitting at home listening to music or watching tv. I'm going to keep on doing surveys because just last year they paid for a new laptop, phone, and several vacations on top of paying for my internet every month. I don't think that's so bad for an unemployed student
-
I'm on FC because I think it's fun. Making a few cents here and there is just the icing on the cake.
-
Well, I wish you well . I will stay because I am retired and it pays better than retirement. :wave:
-
Bye Narv and good luck to you :wave:
-
Good luck, I hope you find that job you're looking for and more. I use FC whenever I have time to be here so it works for me because I'm just on the computer anyway, but I have other things going on as well so FC isn't my only source of funds coming in, so you're right, if it's your only source of money coming in, then you may definitely want to get out and get some work, but it seems you could still do FC when you have the time.
I wish you the best.

I wish you all the best. I intend to stay on this site as it is a good supplemental income for myself even if it is less than min. wage. I am making money and enjoying how I am doing it. :wave:
-
Sorry to see you go and I wish you luck in finding a job :)
I think this is fun and I only do it when I am on the computer anyway, nice to earn some extra money while surfing the web.
-
Good luck and sorry to see you go. True, you will make more money at a part time job, but FC is not considered a job! You are probably on the computer anyway, so instead of just internet surfing or playing games that get you nothing, go to FC and make those pennies! I only spend a small amount of time, compared to others, on FC and have made money. Will you get rich - no, can you leave your full time job - no, but you can make money here, it's up to you. Like it was stated before, where can you get paid for complaining about a site that pays you? I don't honestly know of any other sites that have a forum and pay if you post on it!!
-
Well huh, I never actually thought of how much I'm making an hour. I've always thought, well there are the kids birthdays coming up, and shortly thereafter, Christmas. As long as I'm making something that's all that matters to me. :)

Good luck

I understand the OP's point and at times have gotten frustrated and felt like that, but it all depends on how you look at it. I have two jobs that I work at from home. Right now I make my own hours but I am on the computer for my jobs many hours a day just because I enjoy it. I listen to news, radio, communicate with friends and people I work with. So the time I spend on FC, I am actually either already working and getting paid because I have to be on for my job, or it is spare time that I am perhaps sitting watching TV with my laptop. I don't get paid for that. So if all of your waking hours you are getting paid, then it would be fair to try to equate this with an hourly wage. However, although I probably work 15 hours a day, I do not get paid for 24 hours. So it is not fair to say that all of my time is worth an hourly wage.
Of course, if you don't enjoy FC, or any other task or activity for that matter, then no amount of money makes sense. I hate surveys. So even if you double the pay on them, I am probably not going to do them. To each his own. You have to do what makes sense to you.
I respect your decision, but I am staying right here. I cash out at least once every two months. Although I have had many referrals, only one is active. I don't worry about what other people do, I just keep checking in every day and getting paid.
-
While it is not a full time job, it gives people the opportunity to earn something that they can say they earned; their name is on the check. It is worth it to me to keep on earning. Good luck to you in your future endeavors. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :wave:

Depends on how you look at it... sure, you could go get a job that pays more "per hour", but if that is all a person was looking for they probably wouldn't have gotten into this gig in the first place. I was looking for a way to make some money, but found that with resources like FC, you can actually build a revenue stream. And you can do it from the comfort of your home in your spare time. No commute, no grumpy bosses to answer to, no time clocks to punch... and how much you end up making is largely determined by how much effort you are willing to put in. (I know of one guy that made $140k in like 5 years on just one site!)
I often make 2-3 dollars while I'm eating breakfast in the morning (I'm on over a dozen sites).
So, so long.... but I think you are looking at it all wrong.

Good luck on your future endeavors! I wish you well, truly.
For me, FC is awesome. I work from home (not my own business - I do work for the man) and am able to listen to Radio Loyalty all day long, and here and there I do tasks and other offers. I have no referrals and am able to cash out almost every month (if I am active daily - sometimes that is not possible since I do have a life! LOL). This is the best site, in my opinion, for earning extra cash. I have a couple others that I use, but not as much as FC. I am so glad I found it!
-
Wish you well! :wave: :crybaby2:
But like Admin said - Where else can you come and go as you please, work when you want AND make money!
You just have to be able to sort the money making offers and etc.. from the ones that take too much time and just do the ones that benefit you! then the other ones that don't work for you :bootyshake: will work well for someone else.
I found FC to be a very real help in making money this year when I have needed it. Some offers and tasks do me well and some I leave to others! :wave:
-
I use this site while doing other things like surf the web on a second laptop or watch movies. I would much rather do that then work somewhere like McDonalds.
-
I am not quitting till they pry my cold dead hands from the keyboard. :angel11:
-
I think it's about your perspective. You can't compare this to a regular job because it's not a job. It's a way to earn extra income. A lot of regular jobs pay you a set wage with set hours. With FC, you can do it in the comfort of your own home. Sure it's not a "job" but the freedom that comes from making money while sitting on my behind is priceless. I am also a part of other sites and I love it. I think I'll be sticking around here for a long, long, time. Oh well, your loss.
-
I work p.t. in a call center and I also receive social security. Fusion Cash, for me, is a great way to relax and have fun while earning a little extra money. My FC money goes towards luxuries like pedicures and haircuts. I may not making a lot but I sure am enjoying what I do make. ;D
-
I so agree with the administrator's comment about working this at our leisure. Does it matter if I do 20 web searches at midnight and then come in and watch a few videos, log out for a few hours, come back and do some surveys, go eat and do laundry and come back and get some paid to calls? How about cleaning the kitchen while radio loyalty plays, or deciding not to check in on weekends or Tuesdays or whatever? My call, work it my way. FC lets me and still pays me faithfully. Please tell me where I can find a boss who will let me do that and pay me a three dollar bonus for sitting and chatting plus another dollar bonus for taking a picture. Yeah, I know this is not a "job", but I love the way this works around here.
My banner does not wave the totals that some around here do, but trust me it will...and it all goes to the effort I decide to put into it if I decide to do this for two hours this week or eighty.
But good luck in all your endeavors and you will be missed.
-
I'm not trying to make Fusion Cash substitute for a regular job. This site is for those odd bits of time on the computer that would be wasted anyway. If I'm making a few pennies in those moments, I'm that much better off than I would be if I didn't do Fusion Cash.
-
good luck in your new endeavors. as a stay at home mom i feel that any money that i can earn to help out my family is wonderful. i spend 1 hour or less on here each day and never have a problem cashing out for at least 25 a month normal for far more. so i feel that my time is well spent. i guess it is all in how you look at it. i would rather stay home with my child and earn pennies then pay all my hard earned money at a job to daycare which is what it would amount to for me.
-
I know there are a lot of people who feel this way and the op does make a valid point about wasting a lot of time making pennies. Which is why you really need a strategy for doing sites like FC. If you don't, you will absolutely feel like the op.
You need to set a time frame for being on these kinds of sites. Working all day to make a few pennies is silly :BangHead:...and there are plenty of people who do it - at least for awhile and then end up feeling like the poster here. If you spend 30 min here then you should spend as much time on getting referrals. The key is referrals.

Sorry to hear that.Good luck!
