I cover the sites that I've been using along with other resources that I'm using to make money online in my spare time. It's nice to have some passive income, but it has to be set up first.

<br />
So far it has been a lot more social than simply writing in this blog!<br />
<br />
If you haven't used <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/lensmaster/referral/JournalCents" target="_blank">Squidoo</a> before, I suggest you check it out.<br />
<br />
(This is a referral program. If you sign up as my referral and a lens of yours earns its first $15, I get an extra $5. You get a referral link, too. And when your friend's lens earns its first $15, you'll get the $5 from Squidoo.)<br />
<br />
Rather than blogging about one topic on a single site and having several blogs to take care of, Squidoo lets you blog about many topics and then places them along other topics of interest. They provide you with "modules" which are the building blocks of your "lens" (which is your page focused on one niche topic). Modules make it really easy to monetize. They have Amazon, CafePress, Zazzle, and eBay modules. I'm sure there are some I am forgetting. Anyway, these sales modules make it very easy to hand-pick your favorite items to market online.<br />
<br />
Be aware Squidoo has a low tolerance for spam, MLM, and other "junky" lenses. You should go take a look at the criteria for a quality lens before you begin writing for their site. That info is easy to find, by the way. SquidooHQ, other groups and helpful individuals make it easy to get the help you need to create something unique. Make your content valuable and the site and its members will value you in return.<br />
<br />
I've been busy making lenses with this site for nearly a month now. I have yet to see any sort of payout, but it is possible to make money with this site. They pay through PayPal and there are a few ways for you to earn: Commissions from your sales modules is one way you can make some money. That's basically good old-fashioned affiliate marketing. Advertising goes into an Ad Pool where the site's highest ranking lenses receive some pay. I recently started to use the site to direct some traffic to my <a href="http://medr.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a> page, where I have some of my own songs for sale. So, get creative. Squidoo is only a tool. What you do with it is ultimately up to you.<br />

<br />
The possibilities of what's available for purchase revolves around a creative seller.<br />
<br />
These small "gigs" are micro-jobs. If you were <u>selling</u> something you would aim to sell something you would be able to accomplish relatively quickly, and hopefully in batches to save time and make money. <br />
<br />
If you're looking to <u>buy</u>: browse through the category sidebar or perform a keyword search for what the sellers have to offer. As a buyer you're allowed to contact the seller beforehand, which is a good idea; you want to make sure the task at hand is one the seller will be able to understand and complete.<br />
<br />
The payment transactions are handled through the site via PayPal, but the site is there to mediate, guide the buyer through providing the needed info to the seller, and resolve any disputes if they were to occur.<br />
<br />
I recommend taking a look through what's offered and leave it at that. There might come a day when you think of a great selling idea or need a small job to be done for you.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238459412463659412.post-24393396046380314482013-02-02T20:21:00.003-08:002013-02-02T20:21:35.708-08:00Another Great Referral Exchange SiteLately I've been using DownlineRefs.com in addition to the other two sites I've mentioned. I really like this site because it's a lot easier to earn points; there are more ads for you to click on. I've noticed that there's also a larger difference in amounts that can be earner by signing up to another person's program. I can't say for sure how it will work out, I'm just building up some points for the time being.<br />
<br />
Check it out if you enjoy a good referral swap site.<br />
<br />
Here's how the three sites I've mentioned measure up on Alexa.com:<br />
<ol>
<li>DownlineRefs - 29,221 </li>
<li><span class="col-17 col-left-bg"></span>GetRef - 85,422</li>
<li>SimpleRefs - <span class="col-17 col-left-bg">204,607 </span></li>
</ol>
<span class="col-17 col-left-bg"> So there you have it: DownlineRefs gets more traffic and therefore offers a few more opportunities than the other two sites mentioned, but keep in mind that means more competition to get referrals.</span><br />

<br />
Typically you sign up with the research group, like Vindale or Opinion Outpost (for example), and you take surveys when they alert you of new available opportunities.<br />
<br />
Another option is to sign up with sites like Unique Rewards, ClixSense, or Points2Shop and take surveys offered through their partners. Some people have better luck with the individual groups, and some enjoy the offer sites or "get paid to" sites more. It all depends on the person.<br />
<br />
When I sign on to do a survey there are a few pages before the actual survey that screen for the best potential candidates. These are typically questions about age, annual income, gender, and so forth. Once an appropriate survey have been selected for you (or you were lucky enough to choose <b>it</b>) you begin to fill out the paid survey. However, I'm typically displeased that these systems will typically boot you from the survey if you're not on what I'll refer to as the "correct path". That's right, fifteen minutes in and the survey <i>then</i> decides to tell you that you're not qualified. Just not cool. But better than the old Survey method; a random call from a call center hoping to milk you for information until you hung up. No reward ever promised.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I do get lucky and find a survey that I'm able to complete. These are few and far between, possibly because I'm such an odd duck. So I typically stay away, unless I'm totally out of things to do with my day.<br />
<br />
How do surveys pan out for you? Are you the person these companies are looking for? Do you get to complete many surveys <u>or</u> do you feel that they unjustly kick you out of the survey when you're not the perfect candidate?<br />
What survey sites work best for you?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238459412463659412.post-84118140314685058152013-01-30T08:32:00.000-08:002013-01-30T09:04:03.328-08:00The REAL secret to PTC sites.Using PTC websites is probably the easiest way to generate income on the internet, but few individuals make a lot of money with them. That's because the real "secret" to creating decent cash-flow with paid-to-click websites is getting referrals. Most individuals have no concept of how to obtain these referrals, therefore they generate only a few dollars (or sometimes just cents) of additional income every month. Here are some tips to help drive more direct referrals to your favorite PTC website(s).<br />
<br />
<u>Start by asking your friends and family</u>: I find that honest word-of-mouth works best, but most sites offer an option to deliver an e-mail or message to your friends, family, neighbors, and so forth, to ask them if they are interested in joining. Present some evidence that it pays out. Just be sincere when you encourage them to be a part of the site; explain that it’s just a way to generate some income in your spare time. Besides, if you really do like the sites you're recommending it shouldn't be difficult.<br />
<u><br />Make video tutorials for YouTube</u>: Set up a YouTube channel and post video clips, where you guide people through how the ptc site you
are advertising functions. Show how easy it is to generate income from it. If you help someone they will be more inclined to help you in return <u>and</u> you're readying the viewer with knowledge of how to succeed. Their success increases your chances of success.<br />
<br />
<u>Promote your referral link on Traffic Exchanges</u>: On traffic exchanges,
you click through other members’ websites to generate credits. The credits can
then be used to promote your own web pages. Keep in mind though, that
individuals visiting your web page only see it for about 20 seconds, so
it is important to pick up their interest. Build a web
page that's quick to load, with a excellent title, and a short conclusion of why they should
be a part of the web page. Check into the sites' rules: not all TEs
allow the promotion of PTC or GPT websites.<br />
<br />
<u>Create a blog or website</u>: This is possibly the most difficult way to get
PTC referrals. It takes skill and effort to build a successful blog,
but it also can be the most fulfilling. There are many places where you can set
up a blog for free, like Weebly, Wordpress, and of course Blogger. To
attract your guests, make sure you publish useful and original content.
You could write about your encounters with different PTC websites and post
your proof of payments. Use the blog as your space to place your referral link within your content. Try researching SEO so you
can target the best search phrases and get more google search engine visitors .<br />
<br />
<u>Promote your referral link on social media networks</u>: Create accounts on public
networking sites. Place your links and banner ad campaigns on your profile page. Keep
your information personal and don't spam. Publish your blog page and web page links to social bookmarking
websites. I like to use a site like bufferapp or twitterfeed to make sure I'm promoting regularly (but not annoyingly so). <br />
<br />
<u>Work with a referral exchange program</u>: There are a number of websites where you can swap ptc/gpt referrals with other associates. Most of these referral exchange sites offer four ways to generate credits: by signing up as another member's referral for a ptc site you haven't joined before, by clicking advertiser's links, purchasing credits using your own funds, and by sending the exchange site new referrals. The credits gained can then be used to buy referrals to promote your PTC web page of choice. See the previous post "<u><i>I'm Looking For Referrals</i></u>" for some referral exchange site recommendations.<br />
<br />
<u>Post in forums</u>: There are many boards on the Internet about generating massive income on the internet. Forums usually allows you add hyperlinks on your profile page and in your signature. With a signature link individuals will see your site whenever you make a new post. But don’t spam it up – be relevant toward the topic at hand and only make helpful content that can be of value to other forum users. If you get involved in conversation, and if you're experienced and provide useful information people will respect you, and the possibilities of them signing up as your referral will improve. Many boards also have a section where you can swap PTC referrals with other associates, for example: eMoneySpace Referral Exchange Board.<br />
<br />
<u>Advertise on other PTC sites</u>: Buying banner space or placing your link on PTC websites can be a very effective way to get more referrals. The disadvantage: you need to invest money before it becomes successful. However, on some websites you can use the payments you've received to buy some advertising. If you don't want to risk your own cash, this might be the way to go. Many seasoned promoters send their guests to something other than a simple referral site. Make a web page with links or banners to more than one PTC/GPT site. Here's another situation where your payments proofs and a review can improve the possibilities of guests joining via your referral link.<br />
<br />
<u>Buy or lease unclaimed referrals</u>: Many individuals signup with
PTC websites without using a recommendation weblink, or maybe their
original referrer has been removed. Some PTC websites allow you buy or
lease those unreferred members. Prices vary from site to site. Also, there is no guarantee that the referrals
you lease will be active, so there is always the chance of losing some
of the cash you spent. Usually it is a wise decision to upgrade your
account to really make it work for you. Just be careful when investing
your cash in a PTC page, especially if it’s new and have not yet been
proven to be reputable.<br />
<br />
<u>Promote new PTC sites</u>: New PTC sites and GPT sites can be risky, keep that in mind. However, it is far easier to get new referrals for newer programs. Trying to promote a well-known website can be trickier than promoting a new site because many people have already signed up for the older site.

It can lead to distracted thoughts and unplanned brainstorming sessions and drastic revamps to whatever blog or business plan you might have.<br />
This is not necessarily a bad thing and it happens to most of us. The most important part is funnelling that energy into something powerful, rather than a rubber ball of confusion bouncing in your brain. Hence the speech.<br />
<br />
Whenever I look for advice I check forums and read what others say to each other. (I'm not a great forum <u>poster</u>; I can usually find the answer I'm looking for by reading the previous posts, maybe that makes me a <u>great</u> forum user.)<br />
People post things like, "Help! I've been doing the right things, but not making any money!" and the responses are very similar. The person asking for help makes a big list of all of the internet marketing tactics and money-making plans that they have employed. The list is usually very long and it does in fact seem that they have done the "correct thing" to make it work. And it just doesn't.<br />
<br />
Why?<br />
<br />
The repliers always give the same speech: Stick to your guns. Take one of those tried-and-true plans and stick with it.<br />
<br />
So, maybe the problem lies within the desire to experiment. Maybe it seems too boring to sit down and plug away at something that isn't getting you rich quick. <br />
I guess it all depends on the person asking the question.<br />
<br />
When I find myself jumping from idea to idea I have to pause and reflect on whether or not I already have a good thing going. Build rather than scrap an old plan.<br />
<br />
What do you do? Do you prefer the experiment or the stand put method? What do you think garners more success? What makes you happier? Maybe that is the <b>real</b> question.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238459412463659412.post-957065082203855592013-01-25T13:00:00.001-08:002013-01-25T13:00:13.471-08:00Twitter and Adf.lyDoes it pay to use <a href="http://adf.ly/?id=3063838" target="_blank">Adf.ly</a>?<br />
<br />
Ther short answer is yes. The real answer is "It takes a lot of time and creativity to see real results with Adf.ly".<br />
<br />
What is this site exactly?<br />
<br />
It's a link shortener that pays you each time someone clicks on your link. It doesn't pay out unless you're getting serious clicks, and don't bother posting porn or anything else that might get you booted for spam.<br />
<br />
My favorite PTC review site lists Adfly as an "Elite" site, which means they've been proven to pay out (with PayPal), and have been in the game for over 3 years. Rather than paraphrase a whole article you can read it <a href="http://adf.ly/3063838/ptc-investigation" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
See? That was an example. If you clicked on the link above you'll find that you go through a quick Adfly Ad. Or you can set up the link to use a simple top banner style ad like <a href="http://adf.ly/3063838/framedbannerexample" target="_blank">this</a>.<br />
<br />
So how could this site be useful? When it comes to twitter, people find themselves using link shorteners when posting tweets. If you have a bunch of Twitter followers it could add up to a lot of clicks! This applies to any social media platform, and of course, blogs. Give it a shot and let me know how it goes for you.

<br />
However, they're apples and oranges. Both sites have offers, surveys, and videos where you can earn points, but that's pretty much where the comparison ends.<br />
<br />
Points2Shop awards you points where you can shop through their site, via Amazon. If Amazon is selling what you're looking for you can order it through the Points2Shop website.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/LuckiestKid" target="_blank">Swagbucks</a> awards "swagbucks", but they are to be used with the Swagbucks site (which has prices that vary greatly compared to Amazon).<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/LuckiestKid" target="_top"><img alt="Search & Win" border="0" src="http://prodegebanners.sitegrip.com/images/swagbucks-468x60.jpg" title="Search & Win" /></a>
<br />
<br />
Still the Swagbucks site has something to offer. They have a great <u>Search & Earn</u> feature where you "win" swagbucks (the same as Points2Shop, where every point is about a penny).<br />
<br />
I went ahead and installed the toolbar for the Swagbucks search feature, and it has proven itself as useful. I mean, who doesn't want to be rewarded for their search engine usage? I resisted for a while, but I couldn't see why I shouldn't join.<br />

<br />
There must be someone out there just like me who likes to earn some free stuff and money online.<br />
<br />
So how do I find these people?
I've looked high and low, and I've even been told that there is no secret, just a lot of <u>hard work</u>. The same people go on to tell me that if there was a secret they wouldn't share it.<br />
<br />
Hmmm...
Well, the truth is that people view like-minded individuals as <i>competition</i> rather than comrades. How silly.<br />
<br />
Our world is constantly expanding, and so is the population. This gives us many choices and people with whom we can share. Why not reach out and have people on your side? Why view them as an enemy?<br />
<br />
Not <i>everyone</i> is like that, though. Some really do want to reach out and help. They pay it forward with good faith that the favor will be returned indirectly.<br />
<br />
If <u>you</u> have a referral link that you would like to leave in the comments, please go ahead and post it. <br />
<br />
For now I'll recommend these two sites for referral trading:<br />
<ol>
<li><span class="blue"><span class="reg"><span class="reg2"><b><a href="http://www.getref.com/index.asp?id=LUCKIESTKID" target="_blank">GetRef.com</a></b></span></span></span></li>
<li><span class="blue"><span class="reg"><span class="reg2"><b><a href="http://www.simplerefs.com/?ref=luckiestkid" target="_blank">SimpleRefs.com</a></b></span></span></span><b> </b></li>
</ol>
These are my referral links, of course, so signing up with these links will help me out. <b> <a href="http://www.getref.com/index.asp?id=LUCKIESTKID" target="_blank">GetRef.com </a></b>has a better Alexa.com rating, showing higher traffic than the <a href="http://www.simplerefs.com/?ref=luckiestkid" target="_blank">SimpleRefs.com</a> site, but I might like the SimpleRefs interface better.<br />
<br />
I'll keep you posted regarding what's working!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238459412463659412.post-17542944303263667142013-01-19T13:01:00.001-08:002013-01-19T13:01:17.955-08:00Earning with AppsLast year I started an experiment to earn some money with some iOS apps that pay. Of course, they do not pay big, but it earns me more than playing video games.<br />
<br />
Then life happened and I abandoned the test until recently.<br />
<br />
Since I recently signed up with <a href="http://adf.ly/3063838/points2shop" target="_blank">Points2Shop</a> I found myself downloading <i>their </i>iPhone app. It's similar to a few other apps I tried, but knowing that each point is a penny <u>feels</u> more progressive than other sites that award "points".<br />
<br />
But this brought me back to that previous experiment: apps that pay out.<br />
<br />
These "paying apps" exist, but it's hard to find good reviews. Most feedback left on the app store is fantastic because the reviewer is getting paid, or at least they're told they will be compensated if they give a 5 star review.<br />
<br />
Some of these apps let you rack up points and then they disappear. Some suspend or terminate your account after you cash out. Some don't even give you the chance to cash out before they delete your account. <br />
<br />
Anyway, it's a new-ish ground and there doesn't seem to be a place to find untainted reviews. Right now it's very trial-and-error and you can easily sink a lot of time into something that isn't tried-and-true (like apps which may or may not actually pay you).<br />
<br />
So, I'll have a new page up dedicated to some honest reviews of these apps once I've given them a fair testing.<br />
<br />
<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238459412463659412.post-70553676658257430882013-01-11T14:47:00.001-08:002013-02-01T21:30:55.521-08:00Points2ShopI recently joined up with Points2Shop.com now that they've merged with Cashle.com, their sister site. Points2Shop been around for more than 5 years, however the merge adds some depth to the site for people who would like to earn some cash alongside those points.<br />
<br />
What happens at <a href="http://www.points2shop.com/?ref=LuckiestKid" target="_blank">Points2Shop.com</a>?<br />
<br />
Well, as the site puts it: "It's <b>easy</b> to use your free time to earn cash and prizes. While you
certainly won't get rich quick or instantly win prizes, if you put in a
bit of effort you can earn whatever you want!"<br />
<br />
Which is the truth. It might be slow going, but the <b>rewards</b> are there and so is the <a href="http://www.points2shop.com/proof" target="_blank">proof</a>. In any case, it's a fun site. You can earn points by playing games, watching videos, signing up for offers and more.<br />
<br />
You can do the commonly found surveys, tasks, or paid offers (for some big rewards). There's a lotto, a weekly RPG contest, and other contests to be found on the site which keep me going back. Also, the site features a shoutbox where you can receive some assistance and enjoy camaraderie.<br />
<br />
Keep in mind: Every <i>point</i> is a penny. Some offers let you switch your earnings over to cash instead of points. I earn about $1.00 a day on this site without much effort. I urge you to take a look at the video below, or maybe read some other reviews to decide for yourself. So far it's my favorite GPT site.<br />
<br />
Totally free to join, enjoyable to participate in, why not give it a shot?<br />

The site offers listeners (referred to as scouts) an incentive to review music. The better the review the more you earn, it's that simple.<br />
<br />
There's a place to write your review. When you're finished writing the review you rate the song on a scale of 1-10. On average I receive a range of .06 to .20 per review. I like to write out the review while listening and by the time the song is over my review is written and complete.<br />
<br />
Overall, I find that when I have the time for it I can make more money "slicing the pie" than using mTurk or another micro job program.<br />
<br />
In any case it's enjoyable; you get paid for listening to music and giving your input. I keep a notepad to make notes of the song that I really enjoyed if they're not listed as Anonymous.<br />
<br />
The cash-out minimum is $10, so when I hit the ten dollar mark I cashed out and in about 3 days the money was directed to my PayPal account. The site states that it could possibly take up to 5 days to approve your reviews.<br />
<br />
I try to be objective. I won't trash a song just because it's not of my favorite genre. I find it important to comment on a variety of musical aspects: intro, the vocalist, if there are harmonies or backing vocals, lyrics, instruments used, mood and tone, and the overall production.<br />

If you're a music lover it's worth checking it out.<br />

Greetings everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In my down time I could be playing XBox, watching a movie, or playing games on my iPhone (few of which have ever made me money). However, with a little time to research you can find many ways of generating some cash online.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A few years ago I was living as a nanny and was lucky to have my laptop and access to WiFi. I looked for ways to make money on the internet, but everything seemed like a scam. I remember telling the oldest child that I found a program that paid me little by little, so every morning I would check out the website. He said "It <i>sounds</i> like a scam. Good luck getting that money." </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I cashed out when I hit the $20 payout minimum and we were <b>both</b> shocked when I received a check in the mail for the full $20.00. It always helps to be a bit skeptical. And I was as I watched the site become more and more difficult to make money with, until *POOF* the website disappeared as expected. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That's where <a href="http://www.ptc-investigation.com/default.aspx">PTC-Investigation</a> comes in! This is one of my favorite websites for identifying the best PTC and GTP sites (and other survey sites). I start with the Elite section and then move on to other sites from there. If the info I find there leads me to a site I would want to use I make sure to use their affiliate link to sign up. The <a href="http://www.ptc-investigation.com/elite.aspx">Elite</a> list has sites that have been online and paying for at least 2 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Start there, but read around; everyone has differing opinions on what makes these sites good for them. Personally, I pick sites that can pay out via PayPal or check. I like PTC, but feel like most surveys are a waste of time, especially with those preliminary surveys that eat up 10 minutes of your time before it decides that you aren't a good fit for the survey.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I will try to review the sites I decide to use, but for now I really recommend the experience of <a href="http://www.ptc-investigation.com/default.aspx">PTC-Investigation</a> site.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I will also keep reviews and my own affiliate links on this site, and try to keep this blog well managed and easy to navigate.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thanks for looking,</div>
