Credit Sesame Is Giving $150 Amazon Gift card to users who get six referrals!

The website Credit Sesame is offering a $150 amazon gift card if you sign up and get six people to sign up under you. I imagine that many of you know six people that would be willing to do this. I know this seems like a scam, and I even thought that as well, but I went ahead and did it and should receive my gift card soon. Many people on reddit.com/r/beermoney have already discussed receiving their card very quickly after they got their six referrals. I really think this is something great and I thought that the least that I could do is share it with you.

The link to sign up to the site is here, the site is 100% free. The site did not ask me for anything other than my address and SSN for the matter of getting my credit report. No payment information was requested and there was not even a place that it had to be put in. The site looks to be well trusted. I believe that this is a good opportunity for us all prior to the Christmas season.

Smart Trick for Quick Swagbucks

For those of you that use Swagbucks and have been curious as to how to get swagbucks quickly, yet passively I wanted to share one of the things that I have started doing to get some swagbucks with minimal effort. Swagbucks offers 10 swagbucks per coupon that you clip and use, while some of these coupons may be useful and relevant to you, not all of them are, so what you can do is print them all off and put the coupon next to the item. You will not use it, but it may be of use to someone else. During your shopkicking or grocery shopping trips, simply drop the coupon off by the item and wait. If you have access to a free printer like I do at university then this makes this trick even sweeter. With the 438 coupons that are currently available this equates to 4,380 swagbucks just for putting coupons around in a store if they are all used. To me this is a significant amount of passive income for minimal effort. Hope this works for all of you as well.

Have a great week!

Updated Mturk Stats

Hey Everyone, since school has let out it has given me the opportunity to focus a little more on Mturk for some more extra money; after I had been mostly focusing on clickworker with my busier schedule. Here's my updated dashboard to start off the summer:

If there's any questions about Mturk, or the work that I do feel free to leave a comment.

AltCoins Vs Bitcoins, Multipool, Graphics Cards

Many of you may know by now that unless you have a very powerful asic mining machine, bitcoin mining is not worth it anymore. These mining machines can be very expensive and many not even get their investment returned. I myself have not quite mining bitcoin but my totals are much less, because of this I have decided to start mining alternate currencies with my graphics cards. I currently have a 4890 and a 5770, while these cards are nothing spectacular they have been able to get me off to a decent start in the Alt currency world.

One in particular in Dogecoin. This coin has received much attention as of late and it is normally the number one most profitable coin on multipool.us. Over the past week I have gained around 2,600 dogecoin alone just from being on the most profitable port. I would have much more, but I am on the port to mine several different coins in hopes that one of them may get popular and valuable soon.

If you believe that you have a half decent graphics card then you can check out this chart to see what you are able to https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison. Dogecoin also has their own dedicated wallet just like bitcoin and others that can be downloaded from http://dogecoin.com/
Set-up is very similar to that of bitcoin, but ASIC miners will not work to mine coins that are not SHA-256 algorithm.

Lastly, if you are interested in creating a coin of your own and you have .05 BTC to spare, then coingen.io may be of interest to you. They will create the coin for you and you are the one that is responsible of making it popular and setting it up with a pool. You never know, you could create the next big coin that gets popular.

I will be adding a dogecoin address to my blog if anyone is generous enough to donate to me. I will also be sending dogecoin out soon to those who subscribe here, promote my blog, and have a wallet. I am willing to send people who help me other currencies that I mine as well.

BTCJAM - Invest Your Bitcoins

If you are someone that is looking to grow your amount of bitcoins without actually buying more then the website btcjam.com may just be for you. On this site, you can request a loan in bitcoins and lenders will pay you that money and then you have to pay it back on a certain percent every so often. If you own a decent amount of bitcoins then this site would be great for you to invest in. I will probably be doing some myself even though the amount of bitcoins that I have is not that great. I have seen that they pay back 5% or more. This is a steady, good way, to increase your bitcoin total.

If you have experience with this site, good or bad, or just have any questions feel free to ask.

Artistic? Post your Photos to Deviantart & Make Passive Income

If you have any artistic talent you may have heard of Deviantart. This website brings together all things art and it also allows you to sell your art on the site. This could be a great way to get some passive income if you are passionate about drawing, photography, or anything of that nature as a hobby. I currently have a few of my own photos on that site and they are listed for sale as prints. There is no work involved for you, all you do is upload the image and then select print. Deviantart themselves will take care of all of the work and then they will give you commission being the owner of the piece of art. Hopefully some of you can sell some of your great art and make some passive income at home too. In the long run this could lead you to being a primary seller of art and being able to quit that 9-5 Job just from commissions!

My photos are not great, but here are some of the examples that I have listed on the site that can be bought as prints:

New Year, New Money Making Oppurtunities

Thank you to anyone that followed along or read along to this blog in the past year that I have started. Now in 2014 I am planning on continuing to post my money making sites and how I manage to make a reasonable income working completely online. Continue to have a look at my blog. I plan to update it even more than I had before. Happy New Year!

Slice The Pie. Make Money Listening to Music!

Today I decided to try out a new money making website just to make a little more extra per month as I always am and although I have heard about Slice the Pie I had never tried the site. The website, which is here allows you to listen to music, 90 second clips at a time and you must write a review of them. I write my reviews while the music is playing and I am always over the character limit before the song ends. I find this site very easy to make some money, and I am no audio expert. I tested the site for 11 minutes today and I managed to make $1.33. This isn't much, but you can do this site in your down time as much as you want and this definitely is much more of a money maker than other sites and apps I have talked about. I usually set goals for myself which each site/app I use to reach each day and I feel like $10 would be reachable on slicethepie in just over an hour. I made an average of 17 cents per song, and this took only 90 seconds. This is the start out pay for everyone I believe and it is already what is the minimum wage in most states, just to listen to music. If your reviews are good, you are able to move up in time and make even more. I plan to work on Slicethepie more to see my results and I will report them here. The minimum payout for Slicethepie is $10, paypable via paypal and I am hopeful to make this amount each day with a little work.

Good luck and happy listening everyone.

Update on Mining -- New Pool / Hardware Updates

I have realized that Triplemining may not be the best site for me when it comes to long term mining simply because of the pay per 24 hour method that they use. They only pay you for the shares you solved in the last 24 hours, which is great, if the block ends in a decent amount of time. However, this current block is approaching 700 hours and at this point if you have a Jalapeno miner like myself all that run time is netting you close to nothing. I have decided the new pool I will be using is called Multipool. They also allow you to mine for other coins that use a similar algorithm as bitcoin and they pay based on how many shares you solved compared to the number of shares total, which is much better. I will update on the type of money that I am able with my miners using Multipool in the near future.

As far as my hardware, all is doing well since I got it. I have 6 ASIC erupters that are constantly going and I also have the BFL jalapeno which runs at a constant 50 Celsius  I have fans on all my equipment that is running to ensure that it stays cool. I am so far satisfied with how quickly it can produce, going over 11 GH/S almost all the time!

Bitcoin ASIC Miners!

About a week ago I decided to invest in a Butterfly Labs ASIC Miner as well as a group of six block eruptors that came as a set. I knew that there was a good chance that I would not gain back my investment but I figured it would still be a cool experience to see what this thing can do. I paid around $700.00 for everything that I got and it came in the mail today. I use Triplemining.com as mentioned in a previous post as my mining pool. Well, 3 hours into the mining I am throughly impressed. The machine has already made me $5.50 worth of bitcoins in just 3 hours. This is 1/2 of what a calculator said it would make in 24 hours so it is well above the pace. I read many articles saying a small miner like this, the Jalapeno, was not worth it anymore because of the investment not being able to be returned. Even with the difficulty going up I believe this mining setup will still be able to make back what I have in in less than a month. If you have been discouraged about investing in a small miner please do invest! Using triplemining seems to be good and is outdoing any calculations I had seen before. If you are wondering how to get started mining I have a previous post that briefly explains it and I am willing to answer questions too!

Happy Mining everyone!

I will keep up to date how this miner is doing as well as how much income bitcoin mining can really make with a small investment.

1/4 Million Hits Reached

Just wanted to share a milestone I reached today. 250,000 submitted since end of September 2012. Work has been a lot slower lately but starting to gain some steam again.

Microworkers - Work From Home

Microworkers.com is another site that is similar to mturk in a sense that you do small tasks for not a lot of money but this money can add up quickly. While I would definitely not suggest microworkers as a site that will get you a lot of money, it is always nice to get a few dollars extra. I have earned about $50 on the site since starting to use it in May 2013 and this is hardly working on it at all.
Microworkers will pay you via paypal and you must have at least $10 made in order to get this money. While this is not a lot, it still has been taking me several weeks to get this $10. I would recommend doing this site daily to earn an okay amount, but there is only about 200 tasks available for me at any given time.
The earnings that can be made on microworkers is similar to what I make on swagbucks.

Updated Mturk Earnings

For the longest time I thought about giving up on this blog because I did not think it was worth my while. As of late I have seen that there are a lot of people that are trying to make money online and they do not realize the true potential of Mechanical Turk. I have been on the site 13 months now and I have some astounding results. Any one can achieve this as well. Here is my updated report. Work has been very slow for me the last week, so that explains the low numbers.
