Back??

Greetings... I've been absent from this blog for over a year now, and I've decided to revamp it and actually start writing again. This time I think I'll post about other stuff I do to save money, like grocery shopping. And maybe I'll just post whatever my heart desires... Who knows...

Welcome to my site!

Hello! Below you will find a comprehensive list of the best money-making websites out there! I have covered a wide spectrum: paid to post, paid to read, paid to click... even paid to play games! All of these sites are FREE and LEGITIMATE. I am in process of posting proof-of-payment for each, please check the very bottom for links. First let me tell you a little about myself.

My name is Terri and I have been looking into ways to make money online for a few years now. As a college student, it is nice to earn a little bit of extra dough to pay bills. I am also an Amazon bookseller, so if you need a book for cheap check me out here.

Now before I let you loose on my site, here are a few suggestions and tips I have for you:

1. Get a new email address set up (gmail is great in my opinion). This will serve as your "junk" email, so that you don't lose important emails. Also, sometimes signing up for programs generates spam.

2. Pick and choose. Doing all of these suggested sites may indeed become overwhelming. It will make earning money tiring and you'll want to quit all together. Experiment, and stick with only your favorite sites.

3. Try to get referrals! You can often earn money each time you get a referral. Ask friends and family or better yet, link them to this site!

4. Enjoy yourself! And if you have any questions, I'm a click away: cheapterri@gmail.com, or leave a comment here.

Peace and good fortune, Terri

Paid to Read Email Sites

PTR sites send you a few emails daily. You will earn points (or money) by simply clicking them. You also always have the option to do the cash-back programs and trials which are displayed on their websites . I have done a few but very rarely. The emails alone add up quickly!

Payment form: check

Amount needed to cashout: $30.00

Have I been paid: Yes, I've made $44.00 through them so far. I received my check 2 days after they told me they sent it. I do not have proof of payment yet because I cashed the check before I started this blog!


Payment form and cashout: Same as Inbox Dollars

Have I been paid: No, not yet. But I trust the site as it is run by the same corporation (Cotterweb) as Inbox Dollars. Plus I have seen another individual's proof of payment on his/her blog.


Amount needed for payout:
$30.00

Pays in:
check

Have I reached payout?: No, not yet.

Payment form:
gift cards to several major retailers

Have I been paid: Yes, many times.
I have received gas cards and cards to restaurants like the Olive Garden.

Memolink is very similar to MyPoints. They send you emails ("Memomails"), most are 6 points each. One difference between this and MyPoints is that it takes more points here to reach payout. But this site features other ways to earn points, like daily trivia questions.

Payment form: gift cards and an option to receive cash

Have I been paid?: Yes, I've received at least $20 in Shell gas cards.

Sunshine Rewards


Sunshine Rewards is similar to Mypoints & Memolink but a little less corporation-style. They will occasionally send you emails which you get .01 credit for just clicking. Also they have some paid to click links on their site, as well as a scratch-off game (I advise you do this game as close to midnight as you can, because only the first 600 people each day can play). And as with the other sites listed above, you can do trials and earn cashback if you choose to.

Payment methods:
gift cards, Disney Dollars, Paypal

Amount needed to cashout:
varies, depending on reward. Lowest is 5.75 credits.

Have I been paid: no, not yet

Paid to View Ads Sites

For these sites, you simply sign up, then log into your account as often as you want. You click the tab called 'view ads' or 'surf ads'. Each link will be worth a certain amount, ranging from 1 cent to 10 cents. Very easy to use and quite convenient. Most of these sites have the option to upgrade, which gives you more ads and other benefits.

Perhaps the best site of them all is Clixsense!

I highly recommend upgrading to premium, it will definitely pay off. As soon as you upgrade, you get around 500 ads to click. It's awesome.

Payment form: Check

Have I been paid?: Currently waiting.

Social Networking Sites


Yes, you can even get paid to join Social Networking Sites! A great one this is just emerging (hop on the bandwagon ASAP!) is Yuwie. It looks and feels just like MySpace or Facebook, but you get paid to view profiles, refer friends, and post content. This site is very new so I have not gotten paid yet, nor do I know the exact system for how they distribute payment. But the buzz for this site is all positive!



Paid to Post


If you are a fan of discussion forums, then MyLot is a must! I have only been a member for a month and have already learned so much from so many people. There are users from the U.S., China, India, the Philippines... The list goes on. The best part is, you get paid to debate and discussion! Topics range from politics to nail polish.

Payment method: Paypal or e-gold

Amount needed to reach payout: $10.00

Have I been paid?: Currently waiting (they pay once a month)

BucksPlanet is similar to myLot but I am a newbie there, so more information will be added in time.

Survey Sites


SurveySpot

Payout form: Check

Minimum amount needed for payout: $5.00

Have I been paid: Yes, $12.00 so far

Paid to Write


Join Associated Content

Ever thought of becoming a Freelance Writer? How about a Photographer, or Videographer? Well here's your chance! Submit your articles to Associated Content and get paid anywhere from $3 - $20 per piece!

Paid to Play Games, and Other Innovative Ways to Earn Cash

At Kiwibox you can get points for various things, including playing games. But all I do here really, is log in every day! That automatically gets you 20 points daily!

Moola is a lot of fun! You get paid to play games but my main suggestion is just using the Search and Win wheel each day! You type a word in the search engine at the top then spin the wheel that pops up. It's fun. Minimum payout here is $10.00

Netwinner is way cool too. You simply do a "lottery" as many times as you'd like, as often as you'd like. You can win points for gift cards, or cash.

Promosquad is a really cool concept! You can take polls related to music and also listen to songs and rate them, and get points for doing so. Prizes vary and change from week to week. I have gotten some Burt's Bees lip gloss from them.

My Coke Rewards is a great program. You find the codes on Coke products (either caps or cardboard boxes) and then enter them. The prizes cover a great range: magazines, shirts, vacations. Currently I am saving for a Nintendo Wii! I have already received Adidas shorts, magazine subscriptions, free Coke, and a Sephora gift card. Incidentally, if you have Coke codes but do not want to join, I will gladly take them off your hands! E-mail the codes to cheapterri@gmail.com
