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:
Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others!
Screenshot of gadgetsThe 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.
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,
