UPDATE: Qmee featured my story

Before you ask, I am not sponsored by Qmee. I am only doing this because I love it

For the past 6 years, on and off, I have been taking surveys on Qmee. Out of all the survey apps I have used, Qmee is by far the best app that I ever used. The usability, the offers, the bonuses — this survey site exceeded my expectations. Today, I’m going to give a very short review of Qmee.

About Qmee: Qmee is a survey service founded in 2012 by Jonathan Knight and Nick Sutton. According to the website, it was created to bring brands and their users closer together, and it’s usually done through surveys, offers, deals, and gaming. When I started, they only had surveys and offers.

Creating your profile: When you create your profile, you will be presented with profile details to fill out. This will help you land surveys that best fit your description. You’d want to get to 100% as soon as possible to get the best matches. Among the categories listed are home, work, gaming, shopping, and leisure. You can change these at anytime

Explore Qmee: Click on Explore Qmee and you’ll be given 11 challenges to complete. Some can be done quickly, like checking out a deal or completing your profile details. Others can take a while to complete, like unlocking 5 oinq’s (yes, that’s what they call it) by taking part in a daily poll and/or filling out a survey

Finishing your first survey: You can actually take part in a survey right away. The cool thing about Qmee is that because the site finds the best surveys based on your profile, you have a higher chance of completion. That doesn’t mean you will complete each survey, but you will find yourself completing multiple surveys daily. Once you successfully complete the survey, you earn the reward and you can actually cash out right there. Surveys are where I made the majority of my money on Qmee.

Cashout options: In the cashout options, you can either send your earnings to your Paypal account or your Venmo account, you can obtain gift cards, or you can donate to charity. With these options, you get to decide where you put your earnings. Just make sure you connect your Paypal account to your Qmee account before you cash out your earnings

Daily polls and pop quizzes: You can also take part in daily polls and have a chance to earn money by answering a pop quiz. You have 15 seconds to answer the question and it runs twice a day. A correct answer will net you 3 cents. Participating in the daily poll will add a day to your active streak

5-day Oinq streak: You get an increase of 10% in earnings for surveys when you log in at least 5 days in a row. The deal resets if you miss a day, and you’ll have to log in for 5 days to reactivate it.

Offers/deals/gaming: Besides surveys, you can also earn a percentage of cashback or actual cash by taking part in offers, deals, and gaming. They all have different rules on how to obtain the reward, so whichever one you choose, make sure you follow all the rules to receive your reward (usually you get them in 30 days). Usually, they pay out in 30-60 days.

Browser extension: You can download the browser extension to earn while your search on Google, Amazon, or wherever you shop online. Besides surveys, I have made some cash searching for things online. Just remember that you have to do this naturally for it to count. I had it installed on my Google Chrome literally the day I signed up, and it’s fairly easy to do it.

Qmee app: The app is available on the App Store and on Google play. The functionality is the same as the web version, so you can fill out surveys and receive cashback as you go. I have the app installed on my phone and on my tablet.

What I have noticed when I use both web and app versions is that some surveys are only available on one of two platforms. That’s why when I fill out surveys, I make the habit of using both web and the app to maximize my earnings. Overall, it’s pocket money and it has so far helped me save for things and filled a void that my freelance job couldn’t.

You get three referral links when you sign up and you get the rewards based on which link someone clicks on. Here are my three referral links: the first link I keep $1; the second link splits $0.50 each; the third link you keep $1. Whichever one you choose, I hope you have a great experience on Qmee.

No, I’m Not Sponsored by Rocketbook, Thanks For Asking

That doesn’t mean I can’t talk about how useful the product is tho

Note: This is a general review of the two notebooks I currently have and therefore, not doing a specific review of each product. I might do that once I get my hands on the Multi-Subject Notebook

I currently own 2 Rocketbooks: Rocketbook Core (formerly Everlast) and Rocketbook Fusion. I got my Rocketbook Core Notebook back in 2018 from my mom who bought it from Amazon a year earlier just to try it out. She liked it at first, but then she gave it to me along with the Pilot Frixion pens that came with it.

This notebook was, at the time, one at a kind because you can write down your notes and then upload them to a cloud via a special Rocketbook app where you can send them to your email, your Google Drive, or your Microsoft OneDrive, or wherever it’s supported using the symbols at the bottom of each page via a QR code.

I immediately fell in love with it because I used to buy regular college-ruled notebooks like crazy and Rocketbook Core, and later Rocketbook Fusion, serve such a purpose that I don’t need to waste paper. There’s also the obligatory “this also saves the environment” tag, which I’m on board with.

Then in 2019, I found out about Rocketbook Fusion, which came with 7 different page styles. Among them are a task list, weekly and monthly calendars, a goal template, an ideas list, the usual dot-grid pages that came with the Rocketbook Core and Rocketbook Wave, and lined pages. The lined pages were the selling point for me. By the beginning of 2020, I received my second Rocketbook. I also bought new pens and a microfiber cloth that you can erase the pages with. I didn’t buy the spray bottles, so I used my empty perfume bottle to spray water onto the pages to wipe the pages clean.

Rocketbook Fusion is still my favorite notebook in this series, but now, 2 years later, my eyes are set on other Rocketbook items. The storefront on Amazon, as well as on their own website, has a variety of products, like Orbit, Flip, Matrix, Mini, Multi-Subject, Academic Planner, Panda Planner, Teacher Planner, Cloud Cards, beacons for your whiteboard, and filler paper. You can also buy Pilot Frixion pens and dry erase markers, spray bottles, and ink refills. I am planning to buy the Multi-Subject Notebook later this year. It comes with dividers so you can place them however you wish, but I don’t think I will be using them since I’m not in school (however, I write down things, so this is a plus)

In the past 8 years, Rocketbook went from an idea of two guys — Joe Lemay and Jake Epstein — at a pub to a multi-million dollar storefront. From the two notebooks that I own, I can say that it has helped me with the clutter, like I mentioned earlier, wasting paper is a thing of the past. I will absolutely recommend it to my readers here, as well as students who want to plan their school schedules and people who want to jot down notes, draw from their imaginations, or even those who want to declutter and go paperless. I will tell you that you will never go back once you start using it.

In addition to the two links below, the Rocketbook App is available on the App Store and on Google Play. Once you download the app, create your profile, set up your destinations, and you’re ready to upload the pages. Have fun.
