Have you checked out Swagbucks? This is a new site I just discovered. It’s a reward type site. You get rewarded for completing offers and such. The easiest way to gather points? Searching. Yep. Just search through them instead of Google and you can earn points. 450 points is a $5 amazon gift card (other cards are available). This morning I did a search for Outer Banks homes on a whim and scored 16 points. I joined on Aug 6 and today I’ve already got 381 points. And I’ve not worked that hard at it. You should try it out. Let me know if you do…I’ll give you my referral.

One More Goal for this Year
I have one more goal that I forgot to mention earlier and that is to get back in my habit of “Sunshining.” What am I talking about? My favorite rewards site – Sunshine Rewards. This is a site where you can sign up for offers and shop to earn money. I’ve earned over a $1,000 (you can see the exact amount over there in my right sidebar), but I really slowed down the last three months. I just seem to be so busy that something had to give and unfortunately, Sunshine is what I let slide. With my recent car problems and Internet problems, it seems that I should have been focusing on this extra income. In addition to these to financial woes, I also have 2 cruises in the plans for summer 2010. If I want to move them from plans to reality, I MUST get back in the swing of things and start earning this second set of money. So today I decided to get started while I’m at my parents so that I can get a start as I know I’ll make little over the next week while I don’t have Internet. *sigh*
And today I’ve earned:
- Paid Signup: Aveeno Continuous Radiance (GTL) 0.35
- Credit: MyThoughtCounts/OTX (Daily) 01/03/2009 0.75
- Paid E-Mail: Thanks for being a Super Member for 4Q08! 0.55
- Paid Click: Hot Jobs (January 2009) 0.01
That’s a total of $1.66. I know to many of you this probably isn’t much and doesn’t seem worthwhile, but I’m excited to be off to a decent start. My goal is to make at least $34 a month. This would mean I would need to make $1.13 a day. While I know I’ll be behind this week with the lack of Internet, I’m still going to try to overcome this when it comes back (and I may try one more offer tonight and if I come to my parents tomorrow I’ll try some tomorrow). Wish me luck. And if you are interested in being a SR member, please sign up and I’ll be posting some tutorials over the next few weeks and I think I’ll try to post my weekly earnings maybe to keep me on track.
SuperMember Status Confirmed
Yea. I’m so excited. As you know I’ve had a hard time finding the time to be online for very long or even worse on a regular schedule since we left for Disney World, but I just logged in to Sunshine Rewards (see banner/link on right side) and found out that I’ve once again made Super Member Status. This means that I’ve made over a $100 in July, August, September. Did you catch that? Already this quarter (with a month left) I’ve made over a $100…in face I’ve made $144.29 in July and August. Because of my lack of activity, I also have a lot of offers to try out in the next few days and we are low on some items that I’ve started ordering online like makeup, toiletries, and pool supplies. I think if I wake up and get back on the ball, I just might make $200 this quarter!! Looking to make some extra money for surveys, shopping, and paid offers? Check out Sunshine Rewards.
Easy Survey – Great Prizes
Do you have just a few minutes (I promise 10 top)? If so Land’s End has a very simple 19 question survey for you on your shopping habits for winter apparel. Land’s End tries to cater to customer needs so they would really appreciate your time. In fact, as a thank you for your time, you’ll be entered in a drawing for a $100 gift card. My time away lately means you have to get with it though. Deadline for completing the survey and being entered for the $100 is the 28th!!!
Ever Thought of Freelancing?
I love experimenting with ways to make money to help this single mom out with paying for extras for my family. Some ideas have been winners, and I’ve stuck with them. Others have been a flop and I’ve only ever done them temporarily only to abandon them later. One idea I haven’t thought of though is freelance work, and after I found Freelance Nation, I’m thinking of maybe seeing what options are out there and if I would be able to find a way to make a little extra money for us.
Freelance Nation is a great site that links both businesses that can post freelance jobs and others (like me) that could use some extra money can find jobs suitable to their skills on this site. What makes it maybe stand out above the rest of freelance jobs is that they also have forums where you can get help getting started with their site. If utilized this could be a great way to find yourself around their site and learn from the experienced how to make the best use of Freelance Nation.
I noticed they have an education area which excites me, and I’ll be keeping an eye on it. They also have a category for writer/editors which I think with my background, I may qualify for. If you are looking for possible ways to find freelance workers or a freelance job, you might want to check out Freelance Nation. And if you are experienced at freelancing, I’d love to hear your opinions.
