Ways to Make Money Online

Is ThisSiteIsForReal Really for Real?

2008-01-05T07:49:00.000-08:00

Recently I came across this new survey site called ThisSiteIsForReal. They offer surveys and offers you fill out, and then you get a cash reward for doing it.

I don't really care so much for these sites, because of all the potential spam you might encounter. However, if I really put my mind to it and/or needed quick cash it would be a good alternative.

Now onto this new site. I have to say that I only today found out about it, and my first impression of it is good. There are many offers, and VERY many free offers. Some requires you to enter an email adress (use a secondary because of potential spam) and then you must click yes to be taken to a couple affiliate sites. This is very easy, but the payout is also only 50 cents for these. I completed a couple already, and my account got credited within ten minutes.

Other offers include signing up to places and recieve $2, another simple task. Other again include free trials, paid trials etc. where the payouts are much higher.

They also have a referral system where you can potentially earn money by signing other people up under your user. For the user directly signed up under you, you make 20% of what they make. Then there's five more levels where you make 5% of what they make. This is a very good referral system, and it looks very good.

When you get $10 you get paid, and this is very low payout compared to other places. I LOVE this, but since I have only been a member for one day I have not yet received payment. The site LOOKS real, and if you want to look at it I would appreciate if you would sign up under my referral link.

This site definitely looks interesting, what differs most from other sites like it is the low payout, awesome referral system and amount of available offers. When I know that this site pays out, I will let you know.

Shared Reviews Pays $2 for short reviews.

2008-01-04T17:02:00.000-08:00

One site that definitely is worth looking into is Shared Reviews. They pay you two dollars for every review you create, and it can be about virtually anything. Tv's, camcorders, digital cameraes, cars, clothing, travel, restaurants etc. When you get to ten dollars they send payment to paypal every monday, and I have gotten paid from them so I can confirm that they are legit.

To write a review doesn't take more than ten minutes, so for some easy cash you should try it out.

A Good Freebie From Office Nameplate

2007-12-18T20:30:00.000-08:00

For bloggers I have found a pretty good freebie. Simply put a link to office nameplate on your blog or social network site, and they will send you a personal engraved key chain ($40 value).

I will update when I receive the key chain. If you want to try this one yourself go to office nameplate .

Make Money With The Job Listing IpsoJobs

2007-12-17T03:54:00.000-08:00

I recently came across a new opportunity to make money online. IpsoJobs is a site where potential employees can do job searches in their own area, in a way like career builder etc. The difference with IpsoJobs however, is that the available jobs are only posted for ten days before they disappear, making this site a place for urgent employment. The job listing is completely free for both employers and job hunters.

So where do you make money? Since this site is brand new they need so called city administrators. As a city administrator you have to remove spam and work to make your city as best you can. On their homepage they estimate that you have to work 7 hours a week, and in return you get 50% of the advertising income. You do not need programming experience to do this job; they have an online tool that’s very easy to use.

The founder of the site is from Spain, but they cover the whole world. When you sign up to be a city administrator you have to state which city you are interested in, and give some information about you as well as your Google AdSense code. You can sign up with as many cities as you like, and the time I applied till I was accepted took no more than a day.

As of now there are very few listings in the US, but this is mainly due to the fact that the site is brand new. I am the administrator of Bremerton, and I can see some good potential here if they manage to get business going. You as an administrator should also promote your city to generate traffic thus being able to make more money.

There are very few cities that have been taken, so there are lots of possibilities to get one or more cities. The downside as I see it now, I don’t know if they are going to change it, is that the advertising they have is in Spanish. Unless they change the languages to the appropriate regions, I have some doubts about the success of the site for administrators. If I was looking for a job I doubt I would have any interest in clicking an ad in Spanish, so I hope this gets fixed.

Another thing I noticed is that there might be problems with spam. An employee can list job offerings without a sign up, but I’ll have to wait till there’s traffic until I know how much spam this will generate.

At any time both you and they can terminate the agreement, meaning that if they don’t think you’re doing a good enough job with your city they will find someone else. It also means that you can quit at any time, you’re not committing yourself to anything. The cost to you is zero anyways, it’s completely free to join and apply.

I see some good potential, not only as a site to make money being an administrator, but also as a job search with many US job listings coming in the near future. Visit IpsoJobs here.

Get Paid To Chat And Take Part In Online Discussions!

2007-12-16T12:52:00.000-08:00

If you love to chat and take part in discussions on the web, MyLot will let you do that while at the same time you make money. Yes, you make money for chatting and doing things you normally would do online anyway. Chatting for money is not one of my favorites, because I like discussions where the users are genuinely interested and not just in it for the money. However, MyLot has a great community with friendly and nice people, and since the more they chat the more they get paid they are always looking for new friends.

You can expect to make around 1 cent per post, although sometimes it’s more. There seems to be a connection with how active the discussion you take part in is, as well as how good your answers are to how much money you’ll make. You can also upload pictures and make money for these, so there are several possibilities.

There are discussions on pretty much every subject, and it’s very easy to get people to engage in subjects of your interest. Another great thing about MyLot is that users from all over the world (except certain countries) can take part and get paid, not just from the US. Most sites have payment options only for US residents, so this is really a good offer for people in other countries.

To sign up with them is completely free, and you can get paid when you have reached $10. Payment is done via PayPal monthly.

Will you get rich from this? No, I doubt you’ll be able to make enough posts for that to happen. However, if you’re already part of a chatting community it might be worthwhile to sign up with them and check it out. They are a legitimate site, and if you can get free money doing what you are already doing it’s a pretty good deal.

They also have a referral system, so if you refer your friends, put links on sites with your code etc. MyLot pays you a small percentage of what your referrals make. In addition to this remember to check out their help page where they give suggestions as to how best increase the earnings.

If you think this is something that you want to try, go and check it out. After all, you haven’t got anything to lose right? If you want to use my referral link here: MyLot it would be great!

Completely Free Products You Can Get Right Now

2007-12-15T07:34:00.000-08:00

Getting things for free is something I love, and there are several ways to get free stuff online. How is this possible?

In order for products to sell, companies have to market them. Sometimes it’s cheaper for them to use freebies as a marketing tool, instead of normal ad campaigns. When you receive a freebie of a product you’re more likely to tell your friends and family about it than if you saw a commercial on TV, thus increasing the value for the company. This is also a very good way to get new products out on the market, and there are many possibilities for you as a freebie hunter.

The freebies are rarely worth very much, but since they are free you can’t expect too much. With that in mind I’ll show you a couple of legitimate products that you can get for free right now. All you have to do is to go to the link, and input your email and where you want the item shipped. It’s completely free and won’t cost you a dime. It might be a good idea however to use an alternative email-address as they sometimes send you weekly newsletters etc.

The first one up is OLD EL PASO TACO Seasoning Mix. You get one pack of their Hot &Spicy Seasoning Mix and a recipe booklet sent right to you if you go to this site here. Remember this is completely free!

Hair products are a really good thing when it comes at no cost to you. Wal-Mart gives out free Dove Samples here, and you can choose which one you want. It’s only while supplies last, so hurry and get your free sample!

Wal-Mart also have a free sample of NutraSweet No-Calorie Sweetener. Go here and request your sample.

An interesting freebie comes from Rice Select. If you sign up with them to become a member (it’s completely free) you get a reusable shopping bag plus a $1 coupon on their products. Sign up with them here.

So in around five minutes you can get yourself seasoning mix, a hair product, sweetener and a reusable shopping bag! Not bad if you ask me, but do remember that it sometimes can take a long time to receive the products. Usually it says within what time period you can expect to receive them, around 6 weeks or so.

There are many more freebies out there, so if you like the idea of getting usable items for free google around for more free stuff!

Make Money Online Writing Articles For Associated Content

2007-12-15T06:24:00.000-08:00

It’s not very long ago that I discovered a way to make money online that beats anything I have ever seen before. If you can write articles of 400 words you can get money by publishing them through Associated Content. You can choose to maintain your rights to publish the article on other sites, or you can choose to make the article exclusive to Associated Content meaning you cannot publish the article elsewhere.

The difference in price is little. If I publish an article as exclusive I usually get around 50 cents more than if I make it non-exclusive. Those 50 cents are not worth it, as you can make more than that by publishing to other sites as well.

So how much do Associated Content pay? I’m not sure exactly how they set the price, but in order for the article to be accepted in the first place it needs to show proper grammar, spelling and be of some value to them. If you were to write about travelling to Rome and you wrote a couple of paragraphs similar to “LOLZ I GOT THERE AND ROFL IT WAS SOOOOO FUN”, you probably wouldn’t be accepted. The article must also be more than 400 words, but this is really not very much.

You must also site your sources, and not write about things that go against their policies. If you do this you’ll probably be accepted and at first might expect to get paid between $3 and $5 per article. I have heard that the more readers you have affect the upfront price, but I do not know this for a fact.

You can choose to just go for performance payments too, and if you do so you’ll only get paid by how many page views you get. This is good if you want to write about something they cannot accept upfront payments for, or if you want an audio recording published etc.

Associated Content usually spends 3 days reviewing you content, and then they give you an offer on your article that you can choose to accept or decline. So if you feel like you wrote a masterpiece and that you did not get the price you wanted, you can decline their offer. This is very good; as they actually let you decide whether or not to accept the deal.

Once you accept, you receive payments via PayPal very quickly; they pay out on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. You do not have to get to a certain amount to get paid; they pay you right away no matter how many articles you have submitted.

Check it out at associatedcontent and sign up as a new user. I think that this is one of the very best ways to make money online right now. You do what you love (write), and get paid for it!

Make Extra Money With Google AdSense

2007-12-15T05:10:00.001-08:00

If you haven’t already signed up for Google AdSense you should really look into it. AdSense can provide you with a few extra dollars on the side, without you having to do anything for them after you set it up. Who wouldn’t want this?

Basically AdSense gets paid by advertisers who want their ads out on the internet, and AdSense then pays you for having these ads on your blog, homepage etc. When someone clicks on the ads displayed on your page, AdSense pays you for these clicks.

There are certain requirements, but they are pretty straightforward. Your site cannot contain violence, racial hate and discrimination, hacking or cracking information, pornography, gambling or anything illegal. If your site is PG13 you’ll probably be fine.

You then go to Google AdSense and sign up a new account. This is not a scam, Google is one of the big guys out there and you can trust them with your information. They take privacy protection very seriously, so you can be safe with them.

You then provide them with the URL on one of your sites, and if all goes well they’ll accept you and you can start making some money.

After you have been accepted you must make sure to read their policies. They are very strict about how many ads you can have on one page, and also about their company. You cannot reveal to anyone how much you get from them, and you cannot under any circumstances click the ads yourself, or get other people to click for you. If you do this your account will be banned as soon as they find out, which they will because they are Google.

Go into your AdSense under AdSense Setup. Here you can decide what you want the ad to look like; if you want images, videos or just plain text. You can also choose colors and sizes. Remember that you want people to click these ads, so try to make it in a way where you yourself would click it if you saw the ad on someone else’s site.

Once you’re done, you’ll get an HTML code that you paste into your site. The ads will appear automatically, and then it’s just to hope that your visitors will be interested and click the ads so you can make money. Remember that the more page views you have increases the chances of success, so you might want to find ways to let the world know about your site to get more traffic.

You can register with AdSense at www.google.com/adsense/

Make Real Money Online With Surveys

2007-12-15T04:32:00.000-08:00

One way to make money online is to do surveys. There are different kinds of paid surveys available, and the ones I’ll be talking about here are the questionnaire surveys where you answer questions and receive payments for your answers.

At first you might be skeptical and ask how sites can afford to pay you by simply answering a survey. The answer to this is that the sites are paid by manufacturers who want to know how the market is for certain kind of products.

Let’s say that Coca Cola was going to release a new kind of flavor. They might then be interested in what kind of flavor consumers feel are lacking from the market, and what flavors they want an additional twist to. Other things they might want to know is what size containers consumers would be most interested in buying, and also color and shape of the packaging.

In order for them to get an idea of what would sell, they choose to hire an internet survey company to find the answers. The survey company would then get paid a certain amount of money, and they need to find eligible participants. This is where you come in.

You are looking for a way to make some money online, so you go to a survey site like Vindale or Survey savvy. Once you register for free you answer questions about yourself so the company can know if they should send you upcoming surveys. If you put down that you are 35 years old, and there’s a survey about retirement at 70 years there would be little point for them to send the survey to you. This is why it’s important to answer as many questions about you as possible at the survey site’s screening profile. Honest answers are important as your answers will be taken seriously and reflect the market.

So after you register and create your profile you wait for a while for the surveys to come into your email. When you get an offer it will tell you what the reward is, and you can choose to take it or just delete the email. When you take the survey there will be additional screening questions, and if you qualify you are usually asked to choose answers from multiple choice questions.

Once you are finished you click a submit button and the reward gets credited to your account, or sometimes sent out with check right away. It can take a while to receive payments, around a month, but if you keep doing surveys you’ll have a steady cash flow running at all times since there are new surveys ready for you usually a couple of times a week. The more companies you sign up for, the more surveys you’ll be able to take.

I’ll provide links to what I believe are the best survey companies out there, but there are of course many others. So just click the link and sign up if you think this is interesting.

Survey savvy – A good site that pays well for simple surveys.

Vindale Research – This one also have lots of really good sign up survey offers! An excellent site!
