Hey all, this is the first contest I’ve ever held to be honest, and I’m giving away a FREE $25 AdWords voucher to the winner. You can use this to promote your new or already existing website using Google’s AdWords program. The rules are quite simple. Just follow the simple instructions in the next paragraph to enter.
What you need to do is write a comment on any one of the posts here for an entry. For each comment you leave, it will count as 1 entry. You can comment on every post, but it is limited to 1entry per post. To increase your chances of winning, high quality, unique, conversation starting posts will possibly add bonus entries without knowing it. 
Another great thing about this contest is that I WILL allow anyone to post up to 2 links using any anchor text, this includes the name + website link. Comments with a total of more than 2 backlinks may be ignored as entries, depending on the quality of the post.
The person with the best posts and most entries will be the winner. The contest will run for two weeks (June 10, 2008). So happy commenting, tell your friends about it as well and there will be plenty more contests in the future!

Filed under: Paid to Display Ads Sites
I came across this website today, and they pay you to basically just have your website online. There is a very small catch though, all you have to do is display one advertisement on your website , and you’ll be paid £3 (or about $5.94) every month! The ads don’t need clicks, a certain amount of pageviews, or ANYTHING! Simply add one little piece of code on up to 5 pages or 5 different websites if you like, and you’ll be paid. You can also do this with up to 5 websites or pages. That’s a total of £15, or about $29.70 per month, just displaying a simple ad on your site!
Sounds pretty awesome doesn’t it? Are you anxious to find out what the website is? Well, it’s called Matched.co.uk. Basically what they do is find an advertiser that matches your site’s content as close as they can and notify you when they do so. They will let you know when they find one and provide you with a code for you to display the advertisement on your website. By only doing that, you’ll be paid every month, and payout is via PayPal as well!
To get started earning your basically free money today, simply click here and open a publishers account. You’ve got nothing to lose and $29.70/month to gain, haha!

4 days ago I was in a terrible car accident and was hospitalized overnight. Luckily the injuries are minor, as my left shoulder was dislocated and the nerves in my neck, arm, and elbow were almost torn right apart. My face is very cut up and my entire body is bruised. Because my nerves were stretched, my left arm has been temporarily paralyzed. It is very difficult writing content for my readers due to the accident. It may take 6 weeks or longer before I can start writing my own articles again. Also, my designing services have come to a halt and I did plan on releasing a new design for the blog, and it was nearly finished with the coding process, but now I cannot complete that either.
So, I ask of all my supportive readers if they would care to donate any amount of money you wish so I can outsource the article writing to other professional freelance writers for a few weeks until my arm heals to its normal state, or at least until I can type again. You do not have to if you do not wish, but if you do, I would be more than happy to contribute back to you in some way, and continue to provide my readers with quality content. Money donated will ONLY be used to contribute back to this website, that is my guarantee. Don’t go overboard though, I can only do so much right now. Just leave a comment on this post with what you wish for me to do in return, or if you have donated.
If you do decide to donate, you can do so by clicking the donate button located at the bottom of this post. I greatly appreciate any support you all can give me as I’m going through a tough time right now coping with the accident. I’m not begging for your money, I just want to help people out and continue to provide more quality content to you and everyone else. It is solely up to you, and once again, I appreciate your help!
Filed under: Preventing Scams
I have heard a lot of people complaining that their money has been stolen by scammers on various different websites. Well, I think that scammers should die (not really, lol), but they need to stop. The truth is, they never will. There will always be someone out there looking to get free money in any way they can, even if it is illegal or unethical. I have had the same problem before, when people promise things and never go through with it. Here is a quick guide I whipped up about what people should do before they conduct business with anyone.
Do a little research on the buyer or seller. Are you doing business on a forum? Does the forum have an iTrader rating or reputation area where you can view their most recent transactions? That is the very first thing that you should do is check out their reputation and feedback from others. Do they have a history of scamming others? Well, if they do, you obviously should not be talking to them about business in the first place.
Get the buyer or sellers phone number or address. You are doing business, why should they not let you know their contact information? As in contact information, I don’t mean their messenger ID or email address. Yeah, that is a type of contact information, but it isn’t promising to be able to get in contact with them when you need to. When I do business, I like to get to know my clients or providers. Friendly people that are not worried about their information getting out to their clients and providers are usually the people that tend to NOT scam people, as their reputation would go from high, to lower than low. Who wants that?
Make sure you are both clear on payment terms and other details. This is a mistake that frequently comes up when conducting your business online. Be sure that you know 100% what you are getting or giving. Make sure that the person you’re doing business with does too. Misunderstandings can result in simple mistakes that you may not have noticed before.
Pay with a credit card, or a very trusted payment processor. Direct bank transactions are quite risky, and very dangerous at times. When paying with a credit card, they do not get any of your important information, and if anything does go wrong, you can always take it up with your credit card company. Another thing I hear a lot about is issues with PayPal. Their support system apparently sucks. When people pay you with PayPal, and receive their goods or services, sometimes they like to file a dispute or a chargeback, and PayPal usually votes in their favor because there’s no real proof that either person is wrong.
Use your head, not your excitement. Have you ever seen something that just seemed to good to be true? I have for sure, but who hasn’t? Chances are that most people will decide to go with something at the lowest price they can possibly get. Well, to tell the truth, if it seems to good to be true, it probably is. Be aware of vagueness of terms and conditions. Make sure you know exactly what you are getting.
Research the market, and compare. Use the wonderful search engine called Google to look up other companies that are offering the same services. Compare their prices with the price that you are getting the product at or what you are charging for the service. Are a million and one people offering the same thing? Chances are if that is the case, then you can just learn it yourself. If so many others can do it, why can’t you? If you can do something yourself, do it. It’s the safest way to go.
Well, I hope this helps some people out and helps them be aware of scammers and thieves. In the long run, this can actually save you a lot of money, or earn you a lot of money. Don’t take things for granted and don’t get too excited that you miss out on something important that you should have noticed long before. Read everything twice, it’s not that hard! Thanks for reading, and enjoy.

Filed under: Affiliate Programs
There are various sources of making money online such as paid-to-survey programs, affiliate marketing, blog posting, cpc programs, paid for forum posting etc. Some money earning programs are not suitable for all or have hard to achieve target, minimum payout is too high and prone to risks of monetary loss or waste of time/efforts.
If you are a webmaster, here is an affiliate program from Elynex Web Directory which is easy to achieve and risk-free with no restrictions. Elynex.com is an established web directory which provides categorized links to quality websites. It has thousands of backlinks from various search engines, high alexa ranking and getting a backlink from this quality web directory will surely benefit the submitter’s website.
Talking about the affiliate program, it requires you to refer visitors to their web directory and if your referrer submits a link to this site with the necessary payment, you get paid $5 for each submission. This web directory offers links in 3 types:
- Regular Links (with reciprocal): $10.50 Lifetime
- Regular Links (no reciprocal required): $15.50 Lifetime
- Featured Links (Sub-folder accepted): $45.50 Annual Fee
More info can be found at Submit URLs page
You can sign up as an affiliate user thru “Register New User” page. Once you sign up you could immediately login to your control panel wherein you could enter your paypal address for payments and also receive the referrer code which is used to track your referrers. The control panel also offers referrer stats as from where your visitors came from and can also be filtered in parameters like days, weeks or months.
Payments are made on monthly basis (15th of every month) for purchases that have been made 10 days before the payday. If the purchase was made within the 10 days period it would be carried to the next pay cycle. All payments are made thru paypal which is the easiest and secure way of receiving money online. Moreover there is no minimum payout limit, which means even if you have one link sale from your referrer you would be paid $5 by paypal.
Unlike other affiliate programs, there are not many restrictions as how you could refer your visitors. You could insert the referrer code in your website, blog or even in your web directory if you have one. Other acceptable referrers include cpc programs such as adwords, newsletters and email marketing (unless it is not spam).
So get ready to sign up, insert the code and promote to earn those extra bucks with less efforts and no investment!
Filed under: Paid to Search Sites
Would you like to get paid to search online like you do every day? I came across this website called MySearchFunds from a friend of mine, and I’ve been using it since. Every time I do a simple search on a FireFox toolbar, I get paid real money that is paid via PayPal! Are you interested in something like this? I wouldn’t see why not! You use Google every day, I’m sure of it. I don’t know a single person who doesn’t. So why don’t you start making money doing it instead, there’s nothing to lose!
There is a minimum payout that you have to have before you can cash out too, which is £20 GBP, or $38.97 USD. I know that seems like a lot and that it would take forever, but it really doesn’t. You get paid £0.02 for every search. How many times do you search on Google per day? Just think, if you did 100 searches a day, that’s £2. Do that for 10 days out of the month and you have already reached your minimum. MySearchFunds is a great opportunity that I have come across, and I think everyone should use it.
If you want to sign up and get paid to search, just click here. Set up your account and start searching today! There’s nothing to lose, and everything to gain. Is there an easier way to make money online than this? I wouldn’t count on it. You even get 10% of earnings from every one of your referrals. You could even make a small, steady stream of income this way. I hope you all enjoy the information, and have fun while you get paid to search!
Filed under: Incentive Site Guides
Do you know what an incentive site is? Well, if you haven’t, or even if you have, this is an amazing way to make money online. Basically, you sign up and choose a freebie (such as cash prizes, iPods, PS3’s, and basically anything else you can think of), and you complete offers from third party affiliate programs. For each offer you complete, you get credits. Once you get the required amount of credits (usually just one credit is needed, but sometimes even up to 5 credits), you must refer a certain amount of people to the site. Once your referrals “go green”, or so it’s called, you can cash out and claim your free prize.
What they don’t tell you on the homepage of these sites is that some of these offers must require a credit card (sometimes no charge, like free trials, but some have small charges that they will deduct from your credit card, but with the possibilities of huge profits, these small charges won’t matter). There are sites out there that don’t require a credit card, but going green goes much quicker if you have one. Usually, you would invest around $4, and then turn around and turn that into $20. How do I get those numbers? I’ll show you a trick that I make money online even faster than you would think.
There is a website out there, called Free Lunch Room, where people pay you to go green for them. You don’t need to refer others to be paid from the users on that forum, so this makes it MUCH easier. All you have to do is click here and sign up for a free account on the forums. Once you have signed up, head on over to the Paying for Referrals section. There, you will find people offering usually $20 (sometimes lower, sometimes higher, and even sometimes you get free bonuses) just for you to complete enough offers to receive the right amount of credits. Once you go green, you let them know and they pay you directly to your PayPal, or sometimes other payment processors as well (it depends on the person).
This seems really easy, right? To make money online this way, you have to learn how to do it correctly or it can be quite a pain. It’s not hard at all, but if you don’t know how, it can get annoying. This really is a great way to make money online, and it is very easy once you get the hang of it. I’ve made $60 in one hour once, with about 20-30 minutes of actual work just filling out forms. Here’s a quick guide I wrote out on how to successfully go green without any hassle:
1) Go to FreeLunchRoom.com and sign up for an account. Go to the Paying for Referrals section and find a thread that you are interested in. Basically any of them will work. Check to be sure that the person paying for referrals has a good reputation or iTrader rating to ensure that you get paid.
2) Communicate with the person paying for referrals and set up a trade with them. They will give you a referral link where you sign up under them.
3) Before you click on their referral link, make sure all cookies are allowed in your browser. You can usually find out if your cookies are allowed by clicking Tools > Options in your browser. Next, clear your cookies. You can do that in Tools > Options as well. This is an important step to making sure the offers credit for you. I would suggest using Mozilla Firefox as a web browser. It’s much safer and offers credit much easier if you use it. Go ahead and sign up using their referral link now.
4) When choosing an offer to complete, hover over it and review the description. If you think you would be able to complete the offer, click on it and it will open a new window or tab and redirect you to the offer. Wait until the page is fully loaded and follow the instructions on the offer carefully. Use your real information on everything and don’t refresh the browser or press back. Double check your information before submitting as well, and be sure to read the Terms of Use or Terms & Conditions.
5) Go back to the site you are going green on, and it may take a little while to credit to your account, but if you did it correctly and followed the instructions, it should credit almost instantly. You can check how many credits you have on the Status page, and the Offers page.
6) Repeat steps 4 & 5 until you have the right amount of credit. Once it says you have enough credits, go back to FreeLunchRoom.com and let the person paying for the referral know that you went green and give them your PayPal (or other payment processor) email address and they should send the money right to your account!
7) You’re not done yet! Now, you have to go back to the offer site and go over the offers you completed, and be sure to cancel any “free trials” that you signed up and cancel them. This will ensure you won’t get charged for any credit card offers that you completed.
Well, there you have it. I hope this helps you on your way to make money online quick and easy. Maybe even once you have earned enough, you can pay for your own referrals and get even more profit! This is basically an endless supply of money just waiting for you to claim it.
