Another way to make easy money

At the moment I'm currently looking for work. I live in a house where I'm afraid to use the boiler too much, the food's rapidly depleting and I'm dreading my next bill.

So naturally I've been looking for ways to supplement my income, no matter how much or by how little.

I've found a few good ways and I'm going to share one with you. It's ludicrously easy and it works on a simple principle:
They pay you for doing things that you would ordinarily do, that it would ordinarily cost them money to go out and ask you to do.

The cost-cutting and laziness of big business is a good enabler to those who want to earn a little extra revenue from home and this method is a fairly good one.

It's a search engine that pays you to use it and it uses yahoo as it's engine (which is a competitive and reliable engine). Up until now I used google, but for some extra income I'm happy to switch.

Before I give you the link to it, I'll explain what happens;

You are given a homepage with a search bar. This search bar can be used from this page to generate revenue and it can also be added to any toolbars that you usually use for searching.

In addition, on this homepage (which you don't really have to use) you can add free gadgets. I've added a facebook one, a wikipedia one, a translater and a currency converter. With that as my homepage, I've made things simpler for myself. There are many more gadgets which can be added but I'll let you discover them on your own.

After this is setup (and it literally takes less than a minute), you're good to go.

In addition, you also get some revenue for others who join up from a referral you give out. (Naturally I'd appreciate it if you would sign up using my own referral but below you will find non-referred means of signing up also.)

Firstly, for those who are eager to give this a try (it's dead easy and there's no obligation to use it and it requires no effort at all to use or to get rid of either) please click this link and stick in your details.

This link will take you to the homepage that I set up (clicking that generates no revenue but you should be able to sign up from there without generating referral revenue for me).

It's pretty simple and using the search box on that page will generate me income (go on, give it a go. Search for anything) You don't have to actually click on any search results. Simply having searched is enough.

Naturally there is a great deal of temptation to cheat at this. The idea had occurred to me to use GhostMouse (an amazing application that saves you doing many tedious repetitive tasks) to do it. All I would need to do is to record it to open up a random word generator, copy the test, put it in to the search box and repeat the process...but I thought better of it. As to what you do, I'll leave that to your conscience. (Although I did experiment with it. Leaving it overnight, I got it to do 121 searches for me, but there was some kind of problem and the mouse-loop got interrupted so it could have really been any number higher than that. I wont be doing it anymore though.)

Anyhow, on to the gadgets.

(Many apologies, but do to blogger's interface, the right side of this has been cut off). You can find the full image here: Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

QuickPost Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others!

Screenshot of gadgets

The above are the gadgets that I've installed, although there are many more. You can get feeds from news stations, play mp3 playlists (one of which I might put together for you all later, as it uses the same system as the mp3 player to the left of this blog) and other clobber.

They're all rather useful, methinks. I'll certainly be making use of the free texting. I suggest you try it, just for that feature.

Lastly, there is the subject of referrals.

It's easy to do, firstly. You an send referrals by email or by giving people a link (such as I have above).
Doing so is worth your time as the amount of revenue you can generate from doing so is quite impressive.

For example, if you refer just 10 friends to use a search box for themselves, they will earn funds from their searches as you do from yours. They share the funds raised 50/50 with you and your friends. Also, they will pay you some of their 50% from your friends searches in return for you referring them to the program. You can refer as many friends, family or colleagues as you want.

As you can imagine, your friends will want to refer their friends and you can benefit from that too. They will reward you for three 'levels' of friends. The same will apply to your friends. Everyone wins, which is nice. Though you should remember that the funds you earn from your friends searches do not come from yours or your friends 50%, but from the site's 50% in reward for your referrals.

I'd originally...borrowed...the code for the example that they give on their page, but I'm afraid it didn't work. Here is a link to it with a nice graphical representation of of much you could make from it.



Conclusion.

In short, this is easy and lucrative. It will make you money and require no effort whatsoever. Even if it somehow doesn't work, there's nothing to lose whatsoever.

If you already use Yahoo as your search engine (If you use BT Internet, their default is Yahoo) then you should definitely use this, as it will not change your search engine.

If you're using Firefox (a much better browser than internet explorer or yahoo explorer) then you can ad this search engine along with your others, meaning you still have google (and some such).

So give it a go. It's easy, free and with no catches...all because of corporate laziness.

If you found this useful, would you kindly please use my referral link.

That's this link here ----> http://www.myhpf.co.uk/apply001.asp?Friend=156268

However, you can sign up from the site's main page (and it will not refer you through me.)

If you do sign up using my referral however, please let me know and I'll see if I can do something to make it up to you.

Have fun kids and Good Luck,

A nice way to make cash from doing very little

Making money is difficult sometimes. Sometimes there just isn't enough to go around and even a couple of pounds/dollars/yen/lira/etc would be nice to cover some bread, a little milk...or maybe if you're really desperate for some, some beer, some cigarettes...

Well I've been taking part in a method of making cash with little to no effort. This naturally sounds too good to be true but it's simple as to how it works.

Well I'm a member of a survey website which pays for opinions. If I do one survey a day, in my spare time I get some spare cash collecting up. Do an hour's worth and you've got a couple of pounds/dollars to play with.

I'm doing something that ordinarily companies send people out to do. They get to sit back and let me do their work for them and I have free time which I'd otherwise spent bored.

So overall it's a nice trade methinks. The surveys are rather quick (I've done surveys labelled as 20 minutes long in half of that time) and they're dead easy. If you find yourself having spare time and you jsut need something to do then sign up. There's no loss to doing it. you simply make some cash in exchange for having something to do...answering easy questions.

Anyhow, click here to find the site.

You can also make a few pennies more by inviting other people, but you can get by without doing that. The above link is a referral from me and I would be grateful if you could use that link to sign up please.

This link is without the referall, in case you don't want to earn me a few pennies ^_^
That link will take you to the home page of the company.

A Note - This isn't by any means a good way to be your sole income. It's just something nice to spend time and make a handful of cash. I certainly recommend giving it a go.

Have fun kids.

"Yuwie" - Website review


I'm making myself useful this evening in having a quick look at a website I've been offered to join.

I say "offered," it as an advertisment in the midst of a forum for a facebook application. Which application isn't important (although I'll be getting to those some other time), just that I found this advertisement: -

$GET PAID BY DOING WHAT YOU DO ON FACEBOOK$ !

1) Facebook makes over $8 million a MONTH from advertising alone.
2) Myspace makes almost $25 million

WE, the users, don't get any of this, even though WE are the ones making the pages, writing the blogs and uploading the pictures!

There's a brand new networking site which actually pays its members just to use it!
The site has all of the features of facebook, but here's the best bit, the more you use it, the more you get paid!

You think Facebook has everything you need- That's fine! I love facebook, Just give it a try by simply joining with this link:
http://f6l.com/social



Obviously, I was somewhat sceptical but feeling in a playful enough mood to give it a go.

As soon as I've clicked the link, I'm presented with a video of a casual-yet-smartly-dresed man who seems chipper enough to tel me what a wonderful opportunity this is, citing how unfair it is that I don't get paid for the advertisements facebook and myspace use.

So I figure that there's no harm and click register and stick in my details. for a start, this is clearly a new site because i got to have the personal URL I wanted. I end to go by "HearMeRoar" on the interwebs and usually it's already taken when I encounter bigger or older forums and websites.

So already I'm questioning how profitable a community it's going to be. Afterall, that's what I'm here for, right?


Firstly, I'm offered some deal for a holiday home which I just glossed over. I've seen these too many times to bother reading anymore. Though in the interests of fairness, it was offered by the folks at *checks* seasonsholidays.com.

Thankfully, I had the option to skip this and so I did.

And now the registry is complete. I'm presented with what appears to be a fairly intuitive screen, with a change to modify my profile...which I'll do in a moment. First though, it wants me to upload a picture. I pick a fairly recent one, of me looking (or attempting to) edgy with a cigarette hanging from my mouth. [Although I've just noticed that the flash banner at the top is somewhat annoying]


Now that that's done, it asks me if I want to invite any friends.

Methinks I'll skip that one unil I've decided if this is any good.

It asks me if I'm sure that I want to skip that step...



It's nice that they're so concerned about me losing out...isn't it?

They then present me with the following statement: -

*Sigh* Isn't this what the original mandatory terms and conditions page said?

I click on...

And at last it's over. I now have the whole of this website at my fingertips. Now is the time to try and find out if this is the social networking website the advertisement promised it would be.

First I take a quick look at my profile, which you can find here.

At first glance, there isn't much to do. I go loknig and find various categories at te top of the screen, offering me such things as groups, blogs, videos, etc.

I select groups and I'm presented with a list of groups on this site, ordered by newest to oldest. Immediatly I notice that all of these groups seem only interested in getting more friends, promising more cash by joining.

Is there anybody here who isn't just in it for the money? It doesn't appear so. However, there are varieties of groups to be found to the right and so I look under "fangroups."

This is what first appears: -



Hmmm...slim pickings it would seem, but I'll go with some of these. So I join up with a variety of clubs including "Sci fi club" "I want to be friend" "Naruto Fan" and "The boys in Red."

Once theseare all joined, I now have a groups screen populated with groups. It's not the most extravegant of pages but it's concise and simple, at least.

After looking at some the groups I find myself relieved to find that thre are some genuine groups in there...They're just not the first thing you see. I'm treated to some interesting messages on the Naruto group forum and I see a cool video about a real-life Sharingan.

So I'm a little happy. But what is there for me here that I can't get at facebook or myspace (not that I really use my myspace page anymore)?

Some searching may be required.

"Browse" allows me to look at the profiles of any person joined, as you'd expect. What's unlike facbook and more like a dating site, is that you can browse and filter by age, body type, waist, height, and marital status.

So have I misunderstood this site? Is it not as innocent as facebook is meant to be?

Let's find my perfect lass then and see what happens. Remember, this is in the interests of science...



The result was a depressing "No matches found." I even try more permeatations, becomming less and less picky each time...with no luck.

There's nobody home.

Oh well, the Browse feature was an abysmal failure. Let's try "Videos."

This time I get a variety of things. I've got some things which sound suspiciously like porn, full anime episodes and music videos, as well as articles on time travel, mind-numbing drivel from Britain's got talent and ahost of other gobshite. I doubt I'll be watching much of this...

Except for the anime...and the porn...

Moving on, we come to the "blogs" section.

Unlike the blogs section on myspace, this section show you a link to the blogs of everybody. They aren't sorted by category, only by when they were updated and the number of posts. You get the title of the blog next to a picture of the owner. It's a little voyeristic methinks.

A lot of these seem to be advertisements anyway, or promised ays to again "get more page views."

However, I became concerned when I found this entry.

Taboo maybe?? Does Yuwie Work?add to favorites
Has anyone been paid yet? Anyone reading this is mainly here for that, but has anyone already financially benefited?

We're encouraged to refer people to make profit, but "word is bond" and credibility is important to me, I imagine a lot of you too. So if you could help, I would really like genuine "testimonials" that this works. By this I mean people who have already benefited. Before I go telling all my friends about this I want to make sure I'm not lying...

Thanks,


Juan L.A.


A good question Juan. It then occured to me that I had not once yet been asked to provide details of where my promisedcash would go. I needed to check this.

After a few minutes I easily find the required tab on my contro lpanel and I have the whole thing set up to paypal me my money, which is rather useful. It means I don't have to worry over giving out my address.

Sadly though, that seemed to be all there was to this site. It's worth it for free animes, especally whilst the society remains so small (and likely will because folks are scepticle as to the "generosity" of this site) so there's a chance it wont be removed for a while.

There are some good groups and joining really doesn't take any hassle from you.

My verdict: -

It's worth a look and joining up if you've got some time and nothing better to do, but you probably wont find yourself visiting much.
And once it gets bigger though, it'll probably sink so this probably isn't something you should take seriously.
s for the money thing, I can't see it working but I'll let you know how I get on.

Anyway, I'll put my referall up in case any of you feel like signing up. If you do, drop me a line and say hello or something. You never know, I might actually read it.
