Triond: Get paid to write

Another great site that I am having a lot of fun at these days is called Triond. It works a lot like Associated Content or How to do Things. You can upload your content to their site (as long as it doesn't exist anywhere else) and then get paid on how many others view it. The payout is much higher than AC which is why I like it, but they don't offer you money upfront like AC. But if you are looking to get your stories and content out there, definitely check out Triond.

Check out this great career search site: Techiecrossing.com

One of the things I think is fun to do online is check out what is going on out there in different industries and what jobs are hot or not. A great place to do that is the incredibly successful and useful "Crossing.com" family of sites. I have just recently found their "Techiecrossing.com" which lists all of the technology, IT, software or hardware engineering, and any other type of "techie" type of job out there. They have a team of researchers that researches over 250,000 sites and they currently have almost 140,000 jobs listed right now with over 18,000 posted in the last seven days. I also love that there is a free trial so you can try the service before you purchase it for a small monthly fee. So if technology is your industry and you are looking for a job, definitely check out Techiecrossing.com.

Amazon's Mechanical Turk...a new pheonomena?

I just joined up with Amazon's new Mechanical Turk. Mechanical Turk is Amazon's attempt at not only creating a new community of bloggers and workers, but also their way to implement what they call an "HIT" which stands for "Human Intelligence Tasks". HIT's are tasks that could be done by computers or search engines, but need a human touch...hence HIT's come into vogue. The tasks involve everything from doing difficult transcription to simply identifying text that appears in a picture. And obviously the more difficult the task the more you can get paid for completing it.

But I ask, will Human Intelligence Tasks or HIT's really catch on? It is yet to be seen, but for us bloggers who love to write, it sure seems like a great outlet. Find here to find out more.

Win a Wii or Charter High Speed Internet for Life!

Charter High Speed is running one of the most creative promotions I have ever seen! If you live in a zip code where Charter High Speed service is available, you are able to qualify for two amazing opportunities.

First, for simply submitting your email to see if you live in a Charter High Speed service area, you will be entered into a contest to win a Nintendo Wii. This is one of the most sought after gaming systems that has ever been created and it comes with a Nintendo Wii Console, Wii Stand, a Remote Controller, a Nunchuk Controller, a Sensor Bar, a Wii AV Cable and a Wii AC Adapter.
So you can unpack it, plug it all in and play.

But even more amazing than the opportunity to win a Nintendo Wii is the opportunity to bid on Charter High Speed Internet Service for life! The bidding starts at $10 and again, is only open to those who currently live in an area service by Charter. There is no reserve on the auction so there is no idea what the Charter High Speed service for life will eventually go for!

Associated Content Rocks!

I know I have already mentioned this site in my previous post, but Associated Content deserves another mention. This site has been so much fun as I have had a great time writing different articles for their site. Most of the articles are in the 400-600 word category and I can write on pretty much anything I want. I submit them, and usually if it is a unique article they will pay me up front and also pay me for the views it gets. Definitely check it out!
