ClickASnap.cpm review

I was going to say something nice about them but they they did an update that is pushing AI and pre-made templates so that everything looks like everyone else's.

To say I was super disappointed would be an understatement.

The AI is the most disappointing part.

The offering everyone the same templates thing is expected to a point. One would assume one could make their own template and have it be privet. Unfortunate doesn't look like that.

And then there is the other change that they did which no longer lets you have an account with just them, but forces you to link it with another account or with your tiktok. Which gets all the red flags.

Just scrolling down the template page without logging in and it's just full of useless ugly crap. Almost like people were purposely filling it just to make it look bad. I have to wonder if that might have been done on purpose.

Normally I don't write reviews of things that are bad but this did such a flip from when I first found it. I am super happy that life things didn't give me enough time to get invested in it. This app did such a huge switch it's like a whole new and different app.

It also only lets you store projects on the cloud. And when you go to uninstall it? There is a little easily missed tick box that you have to click if you do not want them to keep your data. Very skeevy of them.

Product Review - Full item name as seen on Amazon -Mangini, Bye Lemon (2.200 Lbs)

 My lemon love!

I found a small bag of this lemon candy ina fancy over priced little country store and fell in love with it.

Finding it on amazon was a suprise. I'm just happy the the price was worth it. Because my area is a bit humid I am storing it in an air tight container like the rest of my candies and humidity sensitive foods.

Product Review - NaturVet Bitter Yuck! No Chew Spray for Dogs, Cats, and Horses Pet Training Spray, Liquid, Made in The USA, 8 Ounce

 This is both the best and worst thing that you can get.

The worst because it is water soluble. So it will get on your hands very easily and then YOU get to experience the disgusting taste. Then it can spread to anything you touch and yeah it's gross.

The good is that if your cat gets a taste of it while chewing the thing then it will generally stop chewing the thing. Or it might learn to chew with out licking. Either way my cat learned to not chew wires that were out of reach of the spray bottle.

Good luck.

Product Review - Doritos Cool Ranch Flavored Tortilla Chips, 1 Ounce (Pack of 40)

 A good portion control and a quick grab & go snack. Mostly because I kept this downstairs and I do not always feel the need to walk all the way down stair just for a tiny bag of chips. It's also great for grabbing to toss in my car so I can have a snack stashed in it.

Product Review - Mouth Guard for Grinding Teeth at Night, 4 Pcs Night Guards for Teeth Grinding, Reusable Teeth Grinding Mouth Guard, Mouthguards for Grinding of Teeth, Night Mouth Guards for Teeth Grinding

I don't know if it is just me but I drool so much with this thing.

 However, I much prefer a little drool then grinding and possibly breaking my teeth in my sleep.  All because a dentist did a crown wrong and it shifted all of my teeth. That shift changed my bite and not only did the grinding start but my retainer no longer fit. So this kinda fits two roles for me.

Protien powder review - Dymatize Hydrolyzed Protein Powder, Mocha Latte, 25g, 20 Servings, 5.5g BCAA

 Yeah, don't mix boiling water into this right off the bat. It will not end well. And by not well I mean it absolutely gets messed up and glorpy and grainy. I let my mistake sit in the fridge for two days and it was still a mess.

 Unfortunately I really couldn't get past that first mistake fast enough because I wanted to try adding it to pancake mix. I have done that with another protein powder and it makes for the best crapes. So I'm sure this would have been an interesting little hint of scent and flavor.

However by the time I was ready to experiment with it again (and to take a friend with me) I found it was past it's use and had to dump it. I'm sure a Dunkin lover would like it but for me it was just not working.

Cat Toy Review - Migipaws Cat Toys Interactive Butterfly Feather

I have found this little doodad to be more interesting to my cat when she was a kitten. She does sometime ask for it to be taken out of her toy box to play with it but she looses interest in it very fast. And by ask I mean she tried to pull it out of the box by it's thin wire that connect the fake butterfly or tassell to the device that shakes it.

I recommend not thinking that you are being cute and attaching a little bell to it. I happened to have a tiny little bell in my craft stuff and thought it wouldn't be that bad. It was that bad. The ringing will be so very annoying. So annoying that my cat leaves the room.

a giant cat tree for my not so tiny kitten

 

 So two years ago I got a little Maine Coon kitten. She was almost as big as a normal adult cat even at just 3 months old. I had showed this to my sister and she promptly got it for me because she can sometimes go a touch overboard with gifts. The kitten loves it.

Has she out grown a few things? Yes but only because she is a Maine Coon. The little nest is her favorite and two years later she still mostly fits in it. She just hangs her arms out of it and/or sticks her legs out. It's very cute.

 I have a bit of a wonky ceiling so I have had to make a few adjustments with the changing seasons. Nothing too hard.

The only thing I don't like about it is the fake carpet trim. That stuff snags on her claws and splits them sometimes. I hopped it was just because of her being a kitten but it is still happening as an adult. This would probably be the only complaint that I have.

How to make money online - Review for Branded Surveys and Survey Junkie - Part 3 of 3

 This is not a paid review but I do have an invitation link for Branded Surveys listed in a few places because everyone that signs up gets one and it can't hurt to try.

How to make money online - Review for Branded Surveys and Survey Junkie - Part 3

I could barely get through the one month that I said I would try both sites. 

Survey Junkie just annoyed me so fast. I had used it in the past and part of me really hoped that they had improved the percentage for making the qualifications  but... No. I also thought that changes in my life and titles would also help but that was also a no. 

They do give you a few pity points for not qualifying for the survey. Around 1-3 points is what I have been seeing. Which isn't too bad because that will slowly add up. 

They also will popup surveys on on your site dashboard for 1-3 points. They are usually super short but theoretically they should improve your odds if you don't want to install any apps.

I am still against adding blatant spy apps onto my devices just for being certified to be able to take surveys. I am a little tempted to get a separate computer setup to put that crap on it instead. That I could see myself doing.

If only crypto miners hadn't destroyed the computer market. Maybe I can find a super cheep laptop to test this with?

On to the next site!

Branded Surveys doesn't count the surveys that you don't qualify for towards your monthly surveys. And no pity points either. I made more points doing the Daily Poll, formerly the Daily Survey, then from surveys.

Which explains a LOT about the number of people in the Gold Rewards tier when I first started looking into this.

Speaking of the  Rewards, I am starting to wonder if the additional percentages stack.

12+ surveys bronze = 5%

12+ surveys silver =  10%

12+ surveys gold = 15%

But to get gold you have to have completed 25+ surveys? Is it adding the percentages for the 12 or 20 or 30+ ranges together? I haven't qualified for enough surveys to find out. It would explain why so many people are in the 20,000 - 30,000 point range.

Then again, after going on their site casually for 3 days I have not been qualified for a single survey. The points are very slow going. I'm not sure I'm going to bother with it.

The irony of this test is that I think I am more inclined to use Survey Junkie. Years and Years ago when they were new they were... not good at all. Fortunatly they seemed to have fixed that.

They have really upped their game with getting you surveys that you can actually do. It only took me casually 3 days to get to the $5 pay out. So, if you are going to invest your free time I say go with Survey Junkie because you'll at least get $5.

 This is not a paid review.

Review for Survey Junkie - Part 2

I was looking at other lists for good sites to take surveys that will pay you. There are some that dominate others review lists that I will eventually get to but I am going to start with Branded Surveys. 

I found out that in order to use their site you have to let them sell your information. If you want to opt-out you can but you account & points will be deleted and you will not be able to do any more surveys.

They give you points for signing up, finishing your profile.

They have a secondary app they want you to get and any icon with the Pulse you are 100% guaranteed to qualify for. Might be worth it but at the same time I really don't want an obvious spy app on my phone.So I am doing this with out that additional app.

Each point is worth $0.01 and you need 500 points or $5 minimum to cash out.

To get to the $5 it take 500 surveys at a min of one point each. 

Which seems easier then Branded Surveys. But if you take into account the bonuses and referral link that Branded surveys has, then they seem almost about the same. more in part 3

It doesn't seem to offer any sort of invite code or a reward for inviting others. Which is strange because generally companies want to have some encouragement for word of mouth. Branded survey does give you a referral link to share. So I do have an invitation link for Branded Surveys which they make sure you know and see it as soon as possible.

It seems to have an app that doesn't seem very popular. 

I am going to be playing with Survey Junkie as I do Branded Surveys. But as they are so alike I am probably only going to have one more update planed for this series.

How to make money online - Review for Branded Surveys - Part 1

I was looking at other lists for good sites to take surveys that will pay you. There are some that dominate others review lists that I will eventually get to but I am going to start with Branded Surveys. 

I found out that in order to use their site you have to let them sell your information. If you want to opt-out you can but you account & points will be deleted and you will not be able to do any more surveys.

It is an extremely easy site to sign-up with. Their sites re-directs don't seem to work well with my extensions that i have running on FireFox so I am using Chrome for it.

The dashboard looks very clean and intuitive to me. There is a Daily Survey offered and for the larger surveys it lists both the points that can be earned  as well as an estimate for how long the survey could take. Pretty convenient.

There is a Rewards area that has a ranking system biased on how many surveys you have completed per month. Which can potentially give Bonus Points that is an additional percentage. The highest reward percent is the Gold level for taking 30+ a month you get 19% bonus. It also mentions a bonus if you do 12 surveys per week, but it doesn't show what that could be.

There is a Leader Board that shows the top survey points of the day. It also shows the leader for the Week and Month. There are bonuses for being in the top 50 for Day & Week and for the top 20 for the Month.  They also give out point for a random winner for each day, week and month respectively.

There is a link to see the last 10 winners for Day/Week/Month. There are people earning over 1,000 points a day. For weekly it looks like a range of 7,000 - 9,000 earning range. Monthly seems to be 26,000 - 30,000. So if you want to be on that list it is hefty competition. The Gold & Silver levels also have their payouts instantly approved. If you are bronze or less then it can be 1-2 days for approval.

the money you get per point is only one penny or $0.01so the top monthly earners are getting about $260 - $300 a month for all their work. To get 30,00 points a month at 50 points per survey you would have to do 600 surveys a month.

Or 150 surveys every week. 

Or 20 surveys every day for 30 days. 

Or 30 surveys a day if you are only doing them Monday through Friday.

Although if you are earning 30,000 points a month and at a Gold reward level that would bring in an extra 5,700 points or $57 which isn't too bad.

You need a minimum of $5 or 500 points to cash out. The max you can cash out at a time is $1,000. Your cash out options are direct deposit, Paypal or gift cards. They list the direct deposit as their fastest and preferred method. It might be worth it to open a secondary account with your bank just for direct deposits. Some banks do a $100 free when you open a new account and have it for a year but I haven't heard of that deal for a while.

This all sounds good until you find out that you are agreeing for them to sell your information. If you want to opt-out you can but you account & points will be deleted and you will not be able to do any more surveys. I personally really hate the idea of companies selling my information. At least this one is a little bit open with it. They are a survey site so it does make sense and they do pay a good amount. But still.

Seeing as I just recently started this I do not know how smoothly the funds transfer is going to be. Assuming I make it to the $5 point. I will have a followup once I am able to test that. I'm planning on being super casual with this so... 10 surveys shouldn't be too hard to do. 

There is also an app but it dosen't seem to be very popular? I'll be experimenting with that also.

And if anyone feels like joining me in this you can click my invitation link because there is a 50 point reward for each time someone uses your link to signup.

Automatic Spray Bottle - Product Review

 Product Review - Automatic Spray Bottle Electric Watering Can Adjustable Water Sprayer Mist to Straight -White

The item name is literally what is listed on Amazon. It was the cheapest version with the best recent reviews that I saw. When I ordered it the price was listed as $23.99 which I was willing to spend for this.

I got this because I can not constantly use squeeze bottles with out my hands and wrists cramping up. I had seen a few clips of people in China using an automatic spray bottle and haven't actually thought about searching for one until recently. And this is what I found.

 

This model is rechargeable and that causes a pretty large price jump. There were other ones that I couldn't really tell if they were powered let alone rechargeable. I found a lot of spray bottles that listed as constant spray but they are manual and not powered.

They come in both pink and white. I got the white one.

The spray nozzle is adjustable.

It comes with a USB C charging cord that is a bit over a foot long and is a good length for charging with your computer or power strip with USB port or from a wall socket if you have a wall plug/adapter to use with it. I have a few extra wall plugs so I was set.

I admit, it's ugly to look at but it is comfortable and well balanced for me.

So far it has been working really well for me. I have not let it use up all the battery life in one go because some other reviews seemed to have done that and then they were unable to get the battery to charge again. I have heard of batteries doing that which is why a lot of companies will advised not to let a charge fully go out.

If this keeps working this well I am going to get a few more to swap out the bottles that other cleaning solutions come in and put them in their own auto spray bottle.
