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.

Consistent $4-5 Daily Via Microworkers / Gomez Peer

As of late I have been checking up on the site microworkers.com a lot just to see if there's any steady work there and to my surprise there actually is. Each and every day about 10 AM CST there are search hits where you search three different keyboards, then paste the code into the box on microworkers for $.18 per hit. There are usually around 30 hits available of this format to do and this has been a great boost for me. Doing these hits along I will net around $150 a month just from microworkers and this is more than enough to pay my gas expenses that usually come from my eBay selling. 

As for my other sites and money making opportunities,  at the end of February I finally got accepted to Gomez Peer. I had been a member for awhile but not had my accounted activated until now. They pay you to just run your PC, which is something that I have going all of the time anyway so it does not matter to me that much. I have made $8 in a couple weeks on there and am pretty satisfied with that. They pay via paypal. 

Due to Midterms last week I had been quite busy keeping up to date with the blog here but I will be able to post a little more now that they're over. Hope everyone has been making some money!

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.

Writer's Domain & Updates

Good Evening,

Just wanted to update you on what's happening as of late. I haven't found too many new sites and that explains me not posting any new material. I will keep the look out for new apps and new sites that I try and if they are successful in making any money.

One new site I have found particularly would be useful to writers and it is called Writer's Domain. They pay you to write articles for them. I do not exactly know the pay yet but I have heard it is pretty good. I applied and my article was accepted but I was added to a waitlist. They require you to pass an English exam and to have your article graded by them before you will get added to the waitlist. I have heard that the list can be quite long and some still waiting to get on since the summer. How the select who they want off the list is unknown, some users have been reporting only being on the waitlist a couple days.

I will keep you posted if and when I get approved to actually write content for the site and if there's any new money making opportunities that I discover.

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:

Bing Rewards!

Many of you may have heard of Bing Rewards, if not, now would be a great time to sign up and start earning credits towards some awards. You can make around 17 credits each day. This is not a lot but this will definitely add up quickly. If you achieve gold status which is 750 credits all time and completing the tasks that they list. I currently am on the way to silver status. You can get 200 credits, instant silver status basically, just from getting a friend of yours to sign up. The rewards on bing vary greatly gift card wise. They have gift cards from many different websites. Sign up today, and happy searching! I will be updating how quickly I get rewards and how much I get total from using bing rewards each day.

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!

Jingit Update -- Debit Card Received!

Yesterday I received the debit card that you are able to order with the rewards app I wrote about earlier this month called Jingit. It came very quickly, and the card looks better than expected. It is a Visa with the Jingit logo on the top left. This is pretty handy for the rewards app since you can simply load the Jingit card as you make money on the site and then use the card as you please. The activation was quick and easy as it should be.

So far my experience with Jingit has been pretty mediocre. I have made around $5 on the site, and so far it has been difficult to make much more money using it. Still, I make a few cents here and there and it may not seem like much but this could add up to around $100 a year, which if spent wisely could turn into much more.

I found a new rewards app that deals with QR codes that I will be writing about soon after my initial tests of it.

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.

GUIMiner - Bitcoin - Triplemining

As many of you may know, Bitcoin a digital currency has lately increased in value by a ton. Being over $1,000 a coin it is well worth the time to start mining and this is very simple if you have a high powered GPU. Laptops are not recommended for this since they will not make much money. I currently mine with a 5770, and plan to mine with a few other machines once I get the funds to order them.

Digital Wallet:

First, you need a bitcoin wallet to maintain your currency.
There is a few to choose from on this website

Pool / Mining Community:

Next, you will want to join a pool of miners. This in my opinion is the easiest way to get into mining and it is straightforward. I currently use Triplemining. Using that link will allow you to sign up, if interested and then you will be set up with a pool. There are also many other mining pools, none of which I have had experience with, but you can find some more here Others

Software:

Lastly, you will want to set up the miner itself. I recommend GUIMiner, this is the most advanced graphics wise, but is not always the most efficient. I have been making around 170 mhash /s using the 5770 with GUIMiner. GUIMiner can be found using this link 

Set up is very simple. On triplemining.com once you have an account, go to the workers tab and create a worker on the top right. Just put a computer name in, or something, and a simple password that is NOT the same as your profile information. Once you have done this, open GUIMiner, select triplemining under the server and then put in this worker information you just created under username and password. Select your graphics card you're using, then press start mining. From this point you can see your progress on triplemining and it will tell you how you are doing.

If there are any questions on this, feel free to comment and I will try to help. With bitcoin being as much as it is now, getting into this while you can still can may be a great idea.
