News about making money online!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Under the heading "The Three in a Nutshell," I'll give you a quick summary of the latest news I've found regarding making money online. Today's topics include rewards changes, add-on updates, and app enhancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft is expanding its rewards system<\/h2>\n\n\n

Did you know that you can easily make money with Microsoft? Actually, I only figured it out quite recently myself. It's called "\u201eMicrosoft Rewards<\/a>\u201c"It's essentially a points hunt through daily searches on Bing's own search engine and interaction with your mobile phone. In short: Just make 4-5 quick clicks daily in the Bing Rewards app on your smartphone \u2013 and you'll collect up to 180 points a day. Bonus challenges allow you to earn another 1,000 points every two weeks. You can then redeem your collected points for vouchers from Amazon, Zalando, MediaMarkt, and many other well-known brands.". <\/p>\n\n\n

Microsoft Rewards: Member, Silver and Gold<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Today I received a newsletter announcing a new feature at Microsoft Rewards<\/a> This was pointed out. It is scheduled to come into effect in May. In the future, there will be three membership levels: Member, Silver, and Gold.
Unfortunately, the text doesn't specify the conditions attached to each membership. However, we'll find out by May at the latest. Further teaser points regarding the changes include more opportunities to collect points through monthly bonuses, as well as up to 7 times the points for Gold members. In addition, there are supposedly "high discounts" on the aforementioned vouchers and more. It remains to be seen how the changes will play out. Microsoft Rewards<\/a> be implemented. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

eBesucher renews add-on and restarter<\/h2>\n\n\n

\"eBesucher
New Surf & Click Add-on<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Also from our favorite surf bar eVisitors<\/a> There's something new. Recently, regular users of the site have noticed changes. The individual subpages are gradually being redesigned to be more modern and user-friendly, which is right up my alley. But it's not just the pages that have been updated. About six months ago, I noticed that the surfbar add-on for the popular (and most frequently used) browser could only be used for the surfbar itself \u2013 the click indicators were gone. A month ago, the add-on was no longer available in the Firefox web store, and a week ago it was completely deactivated. There was\/is, however, a link to the... eVisitors<\/a> page one Instructions<\/a>, how to add the add-on manually, but somehow that didn't feel right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now they're going full throttle. This is evident in two things in particular: First, the Restarter was recently released in a new version. This is software that "monitors" the browser. Should it become unresponsive, the Restarter closes the browser and restarts it after a short wait.
Secondly, the surfbar add-on for the Firefox browser has also been reprogrammed. It now also features the look and feel of the redesigned pages. But importantly: Anyone who searches for the extension in the webshop as usual will no longer find it.\u201eeVisitors<\/a>\u201cAnyone searching for it will not find it. The new add-on can be found under the name "Surf & Click".
It should also be mentioned that eBesucher is pushing its business on mobile devices. They are now actively advertising that the surfbar runs in the mobile Firefox browser. The only slight drawback: currently, it only works on Android devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pathearn integrates navigation<\/h2>\n\n\n

\"Pathearn<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Making money with your mobile phone is a lucrative change of pace that one is happy to embrace. Some time ago I had This was reported<\/a>, I learned that the app "Pathearn" allows you to earn crypto tokens for mapping your route while driving. I have to admit, I was initially very enthusiastic about the project. The app was regularly updated, and I earned a good amount of PTRN tokens even on relatively short trips. However, the project seemed to fizzle out. There were no more updates, and the conversions of points to PTRN decreased. This was in addition to the fact that my iPhone was constantly overheating due to the continuous use of the camera and the transmission\/storage of location data\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pathearn
Navigation view within the Pathearn app<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I actually lost track of the project for a while. Until today: because they've continued working on the app and introduced a new feature: native navigation! From now on, you can use Pathearn to navigate from A to B. This has the advantage that the app continues to count traffic signs and construction sites in the background while you navigate. The menu for adding a disruption (roadworks, accident, etc.) has also been redesigned and expanded with a large "AI" button. Simply press it, and the software uses the camera images to identify the type of disruption.
One final word about the token itself: it has remained relatively stable over the past few months. Six months ago, 1 PTRN was worth $0.15; today it's still worth $0.11. Perhaps I should give the app another chance. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
