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!

The auction to win Charter High Speed service for life and a Nintendo Wii have already begun, so click here to enter the contest now for the opportunity of a lifetime from Charter!

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!

Let's do this together!

Hey Everyone,

I am probably like many of you out there that have been disappointed by the amount of scams out there for work-at-home endeavors. If you're like me, you are not trying to make thousands a month, but some extra spending cash every month. So that is why I started this site, to let you know the things that are working for me. Some of these I have actually received payouts for, others I am still building to that amount. I will also do my best to categorize them and give a description of what each one is.

But, we all know that the key to building the extra income is having others sign up under you and use the sites as well. So please know, that if you sign up on any of the sites below, simply post which ones, and I will gladly be willing to help you out and sign up for some of your programs under you as well. Together, hopefully we can help each other make some money!

My favorite new sites: Revolution Money Exchange...this is essential a new service similar to paypal, alertpay, etc. But right now they are offering a $25 incentive just to sign up, plus $10 for every person you refer. The great thing is is that it is totally free to join and within minutes of joining your account is credited and you can immediately request a payout. Thanks for using me as your referral by clicking above!

My other new favorite is called Moola. You get paid to play games, shop, search, all kinds of fun stuff and the payouts can be fairly substantial as you win more games and work your way up the ladder. The top people on the site have all earned well into the $1000's already. You can only join if someone invites you so clicking on my link will send you an invitation via email.

Paid to Click Sites

Bux.to - this is the grandpa of the ptc sites, has a lot of new ads daily and has been paying out for a long time. Payments are through Alertpay, which is free and easy to sign up for. Note: you can also build a downline with alertpay, so if you are going to sign up, please use my link as well. Thanks!

Hits4Pay - I almost forgot about this one but it is great. You get $10 just for signing up plus you earn $0.02 for click instead of $0.01 like my ptc sites. Definitely worth checking out.

Adbux - this is a great new site (not the old Adbux...but a new version) that is actually paying $0.04 per click, which is higher than any other ptc site I have seen. The ads load quickly and you don't have to watch them for that long. Definitely check this out.

Cashlagoon - Not a true ptc, but a nice spot to make some extra money for signing up for some totally free (not trial offers) offers and some other great stuff. There a lots of people out there making $50 a month with this or more. I am not one of them yet, but getting there.



Paid to Search Sites

Mysearchfunds - this is a great site. You install a simple search window either on your Firefox or IE and use it to search. Everytime you search you get paid, and every time your friends search you get paid as well. They pay through paypal and they also pay in British pounds, which are worth a lot more than dollars right now so that is really great. I am starting to see this one add up and I don't have to do anything special. But don't try and search too much because it will suspect and suspend your account.

Paid to Post Sites

These are sites where you get paid to either participate in discussions, start discussions, or write original material and post it for others to read.

MyLot - this is a cross between a blog and Facebook and is a lot of fun. A great place to find others who are like-minded about earning some money online. Plus, you get paid to post and participate in fun discussions so definitely check this one out.

Associated Content - this is another must sign-up for. You can get paid up front for writing articles as well as for people viewing them. This has been a lot of fun so far and I am just now starting to see some financial results.

Also, I am writing a lot on the topic so please visit my pages at Triond and How To Do Things to find out more on the subject.

Paid to Read or Watch

Inbox Dollars - this is one of only 3 paid to read email or watch video sites I am using. You get a $5 sign up, plus they have plenty of emails to read and other free surveys, offers to sign up for that you don't have to try anything and you get some money.

Send Earnings - an almost identical site to Inbox Dollars with many of the same offers and emails. But I figure, why not get paid for them twice?

BuzzShed - this is a new one I am trying and is a lot of fun so far. It is free to signup and they send you video clips to view based on your interests. For every video you view you earn a minimum of $0.30 and payouts are through paypal.

So if you want to make a little extra money, try these sites and remember to comment on which ones you did so I can help you out as well (and pls, be honest!)
