Update on Jingit

If you are not familiar with Jingit, right now you aren't missing anything. This used to be, by far, my favorite company to earn money with online.  It was easy, fun and not time consuming in the least.  Members who started out when the site was new, remember making a minimum of $5 a week and being ecstatic about it.  Then they changed it and upped it to a possible $15 a week ($10 minimum) and we were over the moon about this site!

Not long after they changed it to a possible $15 a week, things started to slow down immensely. They upped the earning limit, but they slowed down the videos.  They also completely restructured the way we earned with videos. Instead of just logging in to the homepage, we had to go HUNT the videos on Walmart.com. It would've not been so bad, had it not taken HOURS of refreshing all the pages that had ads in order to find a Jingit ad. Many of us stayed up past midnight on Sundays so we could find the latest ads. Crazy, huh? Yes, but we were still willing to give this a chance.

That was the turning point that changed Jingit from the absolute best, online money-making site to a disaster in the making.  Everything Jingit has done since then, keeps running it further into the ground. If you have a smartphone, you might be able to earn more than those of us who are online earners only.  Those with smartphones get offers for ads we don't get here online. Checking in at Walmart or Target may bring up offers for products to either scan and receive payment or purchase and receive payment.

Payments with Jingit are INSTANT! Yes, instant!  That has not changed, thank goodness!  Jingit has a debit card where the funds you earn are put on as soon as you want to transfer them to it, which literally only takes a few seconds.  You also have the ability to transfer it to PayPal with routing information that comes with your debit card if you wish to do so.

Last year Jingit also started sending videos to our homepage based on our demographics.  Horrible, horrible move.  I joined when I lived in IL. I now live in AL and others in my house get ads I don't get and vice versa. Turns out, it's because of the IP address used when joining and that can't be changed. At least, not on our end. They also have different ads based on age now, so again, some in my house get an ad and the other ones don't.  Seems the advertisers would like to target a specific audience. I completely understand that, but we are talking about commercials here. When watching tv, baby ads don't stop playing and another ad come on just because I don't have a kid. It's silly. They don't take into account that we might tell someone else about their product. Isn't the point of advertising, to get your product noticed? What better way to do that than with an audience who is getting paid to watch your commercials? I think Jingit needs someone else in their marketing department to pitch to these companies. They are making it far more complicated than it is.

Jingit should've stuck with the original concept. Earning money watching ads on their homepage. Period. I keep hoping that Jingit will go back to what it once was, and start using their homepage for videos weekly, if not daily. I see no purpose in raising the earning limit for members, when there are not daily videos to earn with anymore. Heck, not even weekly or monthly videos to earn anymore. The only way to find out if there is an ad to watch is to log in. I log in daily, usually several times a day just to be sure I am not missing out on anything. Wishful thinking I guess.

It would be nice if Jingit would communicate more with its members. We've asked for this for the last 2 years. Instead they go months without a word and we are left wondering what is going on and if they are closing up shop. Something, anything is better than complete silence. Our weekly possible earnings have upped, but no word on why or if there is something in the works that is going to make the site active again.  We can only hope!

If you want to join Jingit and see what may come, there is no reason not to. It's free to join. I just felt I needed to write an update on Jingit since my previous post on them was on earning $40-$60 a month.  Sadly, that just isn't the case anymore......at least not yet! I still have hope and believe in Jingit because I was there to see what a great site it once was. I believe it can be great again.  Here's to hoping 2014 has great things in store for Jingit and its members!
