Cashing In : Free Sites

Hi everyone. Last time we discussed online surveys and while they do bring in some extra income I've discovered an even bigger payday online: Free Sites

You know those banners that you see everywhere that promise you a free xbox360 just for filling out a few surveys or order products, they are legitimate people!! So far with the help of my online helpers, I've made $320 in 1 week! I spent a total of $36 OOP for offers and made the rest in profit. It also an ongoing process which is very tedious at first until you get the hang of it but once you do its rather quite easy,fun & profitable.

I have been researching this for 3 weeks now, hanging around the boards, actually CALLING people up who are mentors to explain how it works. One lady actually sent me her paypal payout grid ( i don't know how but they post them) and she made $800 last month.

For me to explain all this would be complicated so I gathered some really great posts from the people I conversed with and from some of the boards and filed them on a new blog that I made specifically for this endeavor. You can access it here. It is still not fully complete as I will keep updating the info on a daily basis to help all of you ( and hopefully myself) earn a little extra cash!

Please take a look and tell me what you think, I'd love to hear your thoughts!! If this is something that no one is interested then I certainly can delete the blog before I put any more work into it. But if you guys would be interested in learning me, give me a holler!!

Cashing In : Online Surveys

While this blog is primarily about saving money I also would like to make money as well. One of the easiest ways to start off is doing online surveys. There are a lot of different survey companies but I researched 2 in the past 2 months to see if it really does pay to do them. My results are below:

Cashcrate is the most popular and I must say, very good on paying! I made $87.00 in the past 2 mths just from doing surveys! How it works:

Cashcrate is a Get Paid To site and is free to sign up. Companies pay the owners of Cashcrate to find people to review their products, services, and websites. Cashcrate then in turn pays you to do it for them. The payout starts at $10 so it easy to get your money quickly!

There are completely Free Offers and a few trial offers to sign up for as well as 2 daily surveys. When completing some of the surveys, I timed them just to see how long they took to complete and most surveys took about 3 minutes at most.Also, the offers that pay less, say like $.25- $.50 take the least amount of time to complete and are quick & easy.

When doing offers, before starting, be sure to clear your cookies so that you can get your credits without any hassle.

You also can earn money by referrals as well. Cashcrate will pay you $3 for each person you refer as well as a percentage of what your referral each time they earn!! So you'll keep on earning as long as your referral earns money, its like they are working for you!!

So far I really like the site and consider it a pretty good investment of time. I'm not expecting to make a lot of money through them but a little extra money per month is definately a Good thing!


Another site I really like is Free Cash Cafe. At the Free Cash Cafe, you get paid to take surveys, order free samples, signup for trial offers, participate in sweepstakes, join clubs, and register for online services. Its pretty much the same as Cashcrate with the same benefits and pays as well, to date I have earned $55.00. Payout starts when you earn $7.00 and they pay out monthly as well! As with Cashcrate you also earn 30% commission on your referrals earnings too.

Between these 2 sites you can earn a little extra cash monthly but I guess it depends on how much time you really put into as well. The money I made has only been for about 30 minutes a day and there. Not every day.

Do you have a survey site that pays well and that you like? What ways have you earned money online?

Bonuses You Can Bank On !

If you want a little extra money or free gift, there are a few banks that offer incentives to new customers, here are a few:

My bank, Bank of America is offering new customers $75 to open a new account before June 30th! Send me an email and I'll send you the link!!

Compass Bank is giving away a free Apple I pod Shuffle who open a build to order checking account. Offer is valid only in Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, New Mexico, or Texas. $25 minimum opening deposit.

Bank of Georgia is giving away free iPod nano for customers who open a personal checking account before June 20, 2008, enroll in online banking, and make three online bill payments by July 31, 2008. Offer good for new customer only and limited to one per household.

Bank of America

I received an email from Bank of America with an referral offer of $25 for new customers who set up a Checking Account with $25 (and I get a Free $25 as well!)! Another Free $25 of Free Money! Unfortunately no button though:(

If you are interested in earning an extra $25, send an email and I'll send the referral link to you! I don't see any expiration date on the offer so hopefully it'll last awhile:)

Once you become a member, you can then start earning your own referrals with no limit!!

Today is the Last Day!

Update @ 3:52 PM!! I just received 2 referrals in the last hour so the offer is still valid for the moment at least!! I double checked the site but no new updates about the offer being renewed however you can still sign up and get your Free Money!!!

If you haven't signed up yet for Revolution Money Exchange yet, today is the last day to get your Free $25!! Its really simple enough to sign up and I've made $285 towards my daughter's Puerto Rico Class Trip this June and I thank everyone who signed up under me!!

And as I stated before, you can increase the $25 to $60 simply by signing up your hubby after you sign up! Just sign your hubby under your referral link and you'll get $10 for the referral and then you can transfer his $25 to your account! $60 of Free Money, what are you waiting for?? Just clik on the link in the top right hand corner and I'll get $10!! We thank you:)

Get $45 for $5

With all the Free Money Promotions and Deals like the Revolution Money Exchange, here is another one worth looking into that involves investing in shares.

ShareBuilder is an online Investment Tool that holds promotion through out the year for New Account Holders. The featured New Promotion is $50 deposited into each new account and all you need to is simply deposit $5 into your ShareBuilder account and purchase a stock.

According to the Promotion,you will receive a $50 deposit into your Sharebuilder Account within 4-6 weeks which you can either deposit the money into your Bank Account or keep in the ShareBuilder Account to grow. You can also open an account for each of the kids as well!

Sounds difficult? It really isn't. Jennifer @ Imommies has done all the legwork of helping you get through the process 1 step at a time. It actually only takes about 5-6 minutes to complete with her simple steps.

Also,please note that Sharebuilder is through ING Direct so it is a reputable Company.

Search & Earn

If your anything like me, you probably use Google a lot. I use it on a constant basis to search for coupons,printables and sales, etc. From time to time I do use other search engines like Yahoo and Aol but I mainly stick with Google.

The other day I discovered a search site that combines Google and Ask.com into 1 called Prize Wish and you get a chance to win Swag Bucks when you search. You use the Swag Bucks to purchase GiftCards from various retailers like Starbucks, Amazon.com and Target.

There are a few ways to "win" Swag bucks:

1. Just Search & Win
Just search like you normally would do and you have a chance at winning an amount up to $5 ( So far I've won $4 ). If you win, you will see a large Swag Buck with the amount you earned appear and it will automatically post to your account.

2.Shop OnLine & Earn:
For every $2 you spend at a Participating retailer, they will give you $1 in Swag Bucks. Some stores listed are Walmart,E Toys, FashionBug and a lot more!

3.Refer Friends & Family:
Each time you refer a friend by email, you get to earn Swag Bucks when they search and win! You can earn up to $100 matching Swag bucks per referral!

Sounds good? It doesn't hurt to try it out after all it is Free to register which you will need to do in order to get your Swag Bucks. Also, there is no limit as to how many Swag Bucks you can win, each time you search, you get a chance!

If you'd like to sign up through me that would be great, just send me your email address and I'll send you a link! Now I'm off to search for even better things with the hopes of winning some Bucks!! Wish me luck:)

Give and Receive

I'd like to thank everyone that has signed up under my affiliate link for the RevolutionMoneyExchange as it has lightened a great burden on our shoulders. I didn't expect to get the amount of referrals that I received but it does indeed shows the power of Prayer!!

You see, my daughter is going on a school class trip in June this year with her Spanish class to Puerto Rico and the trip itself costs $1450! Needless to say, we don't have that kind of money just lying around for a week long class trip but she really wanted to go and her teacher kept expressing what a wonderful opportunity this would be for her.

So he actually got the school to pay a portion of her trip and left us with only $500 to pay. What a Blessing indeed, but still a little too much and thats when this opportunity opened the doors us. We have a ways to go yet, but the money we receive from the referrals will be going towards her trip and hopefully I will have to pay less!

Which is why I would like to give back a portion of what has been given to us to share in the Blessings we have received. Unfortunately, there is no way to track who already has been a referral through us, so I would like to offer the next 10 people who sign up under our link $5 sent back to them through RevolutionMoneyExchange.

Just sign up at the top right hand corner and then send me an email stating that you have signed up , I will then await the confirmation email then transfer $5 to your account! So that's $30 you will earn right away just for signing up!!

Again, thank you to all who have signed up through us!!

PS. I will post once I've received the 10th referral so as not to lead anyone on!!

UPDATE: 3 More Left!!
UPDATE: Offer Over, we've reached 10. thanks so much everyone for your support!!

Free $25!

There is a new way to pay online (similar to Paypal) with Revolution Money Exchange and for a limited time, get $25 added to your account for Free and Earn $10 for each person you refer!

It only takes about 2 minutes to sign up,it's free and now I have another option to pay other than Paypal!!

So far,I've made $35 in only about 30 minutes since signing up and referring friends!! You can too! Just click on green button at top right hand corner to get your Free $25!!

Also wanted to add that you don't have to put in your Bank Info if you don't want the money credited to your bank, you can keep the money in your account to use for any online purchases and its safe and secure.

**Update:
So far since signing up, I have made $75 just for doing nothing but getting referrals!! WooHoo!!You can too, email me for the link!!
