It's Mega Swagbucks Day!

What's MEGA SWAGBUCKS DAY? Well, it is the day of the week where you have the chance to earn even more Swagbucks. You can win 10, 20, 50, or 100 Swagbucks for random searches. On top of that, Swagbucks had a birthday this week and gave themselves a new look. If you haven't seen it, check it out.

For those of you who are wondering what Swagbucks is, it is a search engine powered by Google and Ask that gives Swagbucks for random searches. A member then can use the Swagbucks to cash in for prizes that include gift cards, e-gift codes, music, books, magazines, comic books, video games & consoles, and more. I personally like the Amazon e-Gift Codes and the Starbucks Gift Cards.

Earning Swagbucks is not limited to just searching the net. There are several ways that you can pick up a Swagbuck. Some of those ways are:

*You can invite your friends and earn Swagbucks when they earn Swagbucks

*You can earn by sending in your old cell phones to reduce your carbon footprint

*Become a fan of Swagbucks on Facebook and check it often for "Swag Codes" that will give you bonus Swagbucks

*Become a follower of Swagbucks on Twitter (you never know when they might post a code)

Give Your Opinions And Earn Extra Money

As said before in my previous post “Make Money By Completing Surveys”, you can earn extra cash by sharing your opinions with companies about products and services. These companies use the information gathered from surveys and use it to develop better products and services. They seek out sites like these to find people and gather information from people like us. A lot of these sites offer a financial compensation such as gift cards, checks, PayPal deposits, checks, or merchandise as a reward for completing surveys.

Epoll sends invites by email to any available surveys that match your profile answers. They reward you with your choice of PayPal deposits, Amazon e-gift codes, gift cards, and more. Each completed survey earns you points that you can cash in for those rewards.

Synovate also sends survey invites by email, although, you can also go to the site and login and find links to all of your available surveys. Completed surveys are rewarded with points that can be cashed in for a check.

IPSOS is another survey site that rewards it’s members that complete surveys with points. You can cash these points in for your choice of cash options or gift cards.

All survey sites have the same mission, to get honest and unrushed answers to the companies that pay them for their service. They are looking for people who want to share their opinions. As I said before, I suggest you to get an email address that is dedicated to your survey sites. This will help with finding your invites quickly. I hope this helps some of you find legit sites to earn from.

Make Money By Completing Surveys

There are many ways to make extra cash to add to the family income. Surveys can be one of those ways. Companies contract survey companies to get opinions on their products by way of asking the consumer their consumers questions that will give the company an insight of what they truly want in a product. There are a lot of great survey sites that are trustworthy and offer some fun surveys with benefits for you for your time. When you join any of these, it will be beneficial to you to fill out any profile questionnaires so that you can ensure you get surveys that you are qualified for. All that they ask of you is that you take your time and give your honest feelings to every question. Below are some that I use to make extra cash.

Say Nation- This is a free to join site that sends you survey invites by email, as well as, have them listed on their site. Surveys come frequent for me on this site that match my profile that I filled out when I joined. They usually are surveys that require about 10-15 minutes to fill out, which some can run longer or shorter. For my time, Say Nation awards me points for my surveys that I have completed and points for referrals that I get. Once I save up enough points I can cash them in for something out of the Say Nation Catalog. There are gift cards, journals, books, movies, and games for select game systems. I use them to either get the PayPal Deposit or the Amazon Gift Codes. Just remember to not rush through the surveys or you will be disqualified to receive the points. Take your time and give your honest opinions.

Opinion Outpost- This is also a free to join site that sends you survey invites by email or you can find them listed on the website. Personally I receive several invites in a week, but remember that depends on the qualifications on the survey. Their surveys are easy to understand and usually require about 10-15 minutes of my time if I qualify for the survey. For my time I earn points for my surveys that can be cashed in for a check or an Amazon Gift Code. If you join their affiliate program you can earn some for the referral. Again remember, give your surveys time and don’t rush through the surveys.

Dollar Surveys- This is a site where you start off by entering the email address they could use to send you $1 if you complete a survey. Then you will be asked some qualifying questions so that they can determine if there are any surveys that you can do. If there is one that you qualify for it will redirect you to it and pay you within a couple of days if you complete it. I have done this a few times and gotten paid.

Lightspeed Panel- This is a site that will send you an alert email that there is a survey waiting for you on the site. Once you log in you will see a list of any surveys that are available for you to complete. They are easy to understand and usually require 10 minutes to complete. For completed surveys you will receive points that you can cash in for PayPal deposits, Amazon Gift Codes, movies, gift cards, personal care items, and more. Periodically they will have screener surveys for you to complete so that they can see if you are qualified to take upcoming surveys that may have specific needs. Remember that all that Lightspeed Panel ask of you is honest answers from you, so don’t rush through them.

These are just a few sites that I use to earn by completing surveys. I suggest to get an email address that is used only for your survey sites. You can get a free email address from Gmail or Yahoo Mail. Through the next few weeks I will post more survey sites that I use.

It is full of 101 different money making techniques with real people cases in how they made some of these make extra income for them.

 

Here is an example of some of the ideas in the book:

-How to make money giving away a special 12 page booklet.

Are You an Auctiva User?

If you sell on eBay it is likely that you have heard of Auctiva. It is an eBay auction management tool, that until June, let you use their templates, traffic monitor, and listing tool for free. Now they have announced that due to eBay's new policies they are going to have to start charging for their services. Unfortunately, their new fee chart is hard to understand and that sent me on the search for a new service to list my eBay items through. After seeing several listings on eBay I decided to give Seller Source Book a try. I just signed up today and I am already impressed at how many cool looking templates they have. I also set up my seller profiles already and found that it was not hard to do. I am a newbie to their service but find that even listing an item is easy. Seller Sourcebook offers a clear pricing guide for the services. It can also be used to sell on other sites other than eBay.

As an eBay seller, it is important to make your listings stand out from the rest of the pack. A well groomed listing can attract more interested buyers. A template that matches the personality of the product you are selling can make the product seem unique and special.

I thought I would share my two cents on this with all of you. Do you use Auctiva or Seller Source Book? If so leave a comment and share your views.

Great way to earn Amazon Gift Codes

YOU COULD BE THE NEXT WINNER!!!!! O.k., now that I have your attention, let me tell you what I mean. If you like to shop on Amazon.com or a chance to earn products for free, then you need this site in your life. It is FREE to join. This site is a Search & Win Site that lets you earn points for searches randomly and the Search engine is powered by Google. It also lets you refer others to their site and then when your referrals win a point, you win to. I have tried several of the Search & Win sites and have to say that I earned points more frequently with them than the others. I cashed my points out last year for Amazon Gift Codes and used that to help me buy somethings on Amazon for Xmas Gifts. I am going to start earning points to build my Amazon account up for Xmas 2009.
