General Tips and Tricks

Well, not really tips, just things I think are really important if you want to make money online for free.  This should help get new people started in a good direction without having to learn from mistakes.  Believe me, it's nice to have something to focus on when getting started to avoid from being scammed.


Give yourself a goal for why you are earning.
If you have a reason to earn, you'll be more likely to continue trying. And even if your goal for is to earn some more money, maybe strive for a certain amount or get yourself something a present for earning.

Get yourself a blog or even a simple webpage
Having a simple page can help gain you a few referrals. You can clearly see my blog isn't updated all that often and yet I've had people sign up under me from reading what I've posted so far, so nothing is too small. It also gives you a simple link that you can send to people if they ask for ways to earn instead of sending them your many referral links.

Get yourself a second email address.
You may get spammed by joining sites. So far I haven't been, but it can happen. In which case, you don't want them having your main email address. By making a second one specifically to earn money with, then you always know that your money earning sites are connected to that email address and not another you might have.

Figure out how you like to earn.
Personally, I enjoy watching a video for cash. Others prefer filling out offers, and even other prefer being paid to click. Once you figure out the thing you enjoy the most, look for other sites like that so earning is enjoyable for you.

Visit your sites daily.
One, it is the only way you will make a profit quickly. Two, many people complain about their referrals not earning or quitting after a few days. Then you find out they aren't active either. Why would your expect your referrals to work harder than you do?

Be skeptical of sites.
Just cause someone says you can earn hundreds, feel free to try it, but stay skeptical until you receive your payment. I can show you my proof of payment and others can show your theirs as well, but that doesn't mean anything from your point of view. Until the cash is in your hand, there's nothing wrong with playing it safe.

Don't pay to earn.
If you have to pay to earn, then you really aren't earning, your paying yourself back.  If you pay $10 and earn $15, you're only up $5.  Keep this in mind before doing that offer that costs you $50 but only earns you $30.

Be careful what you choose to upgrade.
If you can earn for free but choose to upgrade, that's your choice, but keep in mind that you need to re-earn that money that you just lost.  If you do that, you'll be able to figure out which upgrades are worth their price and which are just sucking up your cash.

Think about how much time you want to spend earning.
If you have no problem spending 10 hours a day earning, fine.  There are plenty of time consuming ways to earn.  However, some people only have an hour to spend, or less even.  In which case, try to figure out the best ways to earn.  Like with a job, you want to earn as much for the time you put in.


This is just a list of things that seemed important to me at the moment.  Surely there are other things that are important to keep in mind, so I will update this when they come to me.  Have a good week all.

Long Disappearing Act

Well, I certainly was hoping to have another post before now, though with school and life, it became a bit to hectic to sit down and type something out that I felt would be enough to describe the sites I am using to make money online. Luckily now I have a break so I can get to work writing out a better opinion of what I think of the sites I've joined.

Overall, I've enjoyed using all of them. I've been watching my numbers grow closer to that minimum payout numbers. School work sucked up a lot of my time so I couldn't dedicate a lot of time to making money online, but I was able to dedicate some time each day to bring my balance up. Also adding new sites throughout the time threw off my usual schedule, though now I've gotten it all under control. I haven't really gotten to tell you my opinions about these sites so let me kinda give a brief view on my experience with some of them.

The first site I started with was Cashcrate and it is a great way to earn money online, offering a variety of ways to earn money while combining them all to one balance. It is a perfect site to use when you are starting out trying to make money online and I would honestly recommend it to anyone looking to earn some additional income. Check out their forum if you join and you will see that some people are making a substantial amount from this site and even some will help you learn how to as well.

Panda Research was another that I joined early on that offered great incentives. There surveys are easy to fill out and they tell you everything you need to do to get credit so as long as you follow directions, you should have no problems earning with them. You can also earn a bit from emails they send out daily to help reach their rather lofty limit.

Swagbuck is a rather simple way to earn money or gift cards. They offer a variety of ways to earn like Cashcrate though their main choice is through searches. Just substitute your daily searches on google to those through Swagbuck and you'll be able to cash out in no time. There are even daily tasks you can do to ensure you get something every day.

Ipsos I-Say is a great survey site. Not only are you paid for completing a survey, but you will get paid a fraction for just attempting a survey even if you are rejected. MyPoints also offers benefits to attempting their surveys which makes me glad to try.

InstantCashSweepstakes and PaidViewport are new to this making money online world but still offer some excellent services, paying out customers for answering a few simple question. PaidViewport offers surveys that can add from $0.10 to a $1 to your balance with one survey and InstantCashSweepstakes rewards you for answering just surveys that are only 3 questions.

Beezag, Jingit, and Varolo each offer their own twist to the paid to watch ads world. Similar to PTC in my eyes, these sites offer a little money for the tasks you do daily anyway. While Jingit is more profitable initially, both Beezag and Varolo are capable of earning you a nice sum at the end of the month.

Then there are the infamous PTC sites like Clixsense, WordLinx, Clicksia, and Incentria. These sites tend to pay a cent or two per click so they can become tiresome after a while but still offer a good string of income. Clixsense and WordLinx have offered more ads for me overall and seem to have a higher payout for clicks then others. Clicksia and Incentria however have a built in Traffic Exchanger which can be used to promote your own site without forcing you to resort to spamming your referral links everywhere.



As you can see from this post alone there is a fair bit to explain per site and I've yet to even scratch the surface with these (and I haven't even mentioned some of the others). However, the internet is filled with various ways to earn money online scam free, you just have to take the time to look. I've given you all enough to think about so I shall stop here for today.

Have a good week all and a safe and Happy Holidays!

Wanna know if it's possible, follow the story

Ever wonder if these ways to make money online actually work?
Well then you are in my shoes.

To give you some idea of who's behind the writing, my name is Elizabeth and I'm a college student.  Every extra dollar is appreciated when you're paying upwards of $400 for books alone.  Now, not everyone necessarily needs money for bills or the like.  I'm sure there are a few people out there who would like just a few extra spending dollars.  Well, either way, I doubt anyone would turn down some extra money.

So, I figured I'd see if all this extra money is out there and decided to use this blog as a way to document how I was able to make money online (or not depending on the site). 

As of last Sunday, I decided to give it a try and see for myself.  I'm almost at the week mark so far and while it's a learning process, this seems like something people can easily make money doing.
