Earn Money with MyLikes.com

Thursday, January 7th, 2010
What’s not to love about chocolate & roses on Valentine’s Day, except saving big!


Jennifer’s profile on MyLikes

Here is another addition to add to your list of money making sites if your a blogger !

I just joined a new site which lets me earn money for campaigns that "I Like".

“MyLikes.com is an inventive way to earn money online for mom bloggers. What’s different about My Likes is you make money based on companies and products you like and recommend anyway and you get to write your own ad!”

Signing up is easy and you get to choose how you would like present your “likes” either by twitter or writing about it on your blog post.

The idea is that you will earn money on a pay per click basis. The pay per click fee is different for each blogger and goes according to how many clicks you get. So the more people you have “click” on your likes, the higher your earnings will be!

To start off with, I was given a list of companies and products and I got to choose who I would like to advertise for. There were several really good ones that I wouldn’t mind promoting for, as long as they are relevant to my site,lol!

Once I picked one that “I liked”, I wrote a short message stating why I like it. Then I had the option to post it twitter or write a post or embed a widget. You even get the option to download accompanying photos too, which was cool. You can see my widget up above and I also placed in my sidebar: 1-800-Flowers ad.—–>

Ahem, if you would ever be so kind to click on the widget, I’d be ever so grateful:)

You also have the option to donate your earnings to charities they have listed.

Toluna: People,Opinions & Polls

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

This  year, I plan on spending more time on market research panels and surveys. While  I am currently a member of a few test panels & survey sites, I haven’t really placed any effort on my part into most of them which I really wish I had. But no fear, with a new year comes lessons learned right?

One market research panel I just joined last month, Toluna, sent me  (2) t shirts to test and complete a survey on the wash & wear of it. Plus I get an additional $10 just for participating & completing the survey. Pretty sweet! So there are definitely some perks to it!!

Now with online market research panels, you won’t qualify for all of them. I have been turned down for quite a few but fortunately I was able to get in on a few high ones!

Once you sign up with a company, the companies will usually send you an email with a screener  to see if you qualify . If you do qualify, then you’ll be able to take the survey and/or participate in a panel.

I get a few emails from Toluna to complete surveys that equal anywhere from $1-$3 generally, but I have also gotten (2) survey opportunities for $10. While I don’t have the time to complete a lot of surveys, they can be a great way to build a little extra money on a monthly basis that I tend on working into my schedule.

If you would like to sign up with Toluna, just click on the above banner to register for free.

Earn Money with Twitter!

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

This year, my goal is to do do more activities online that will hopefully earn me a little extra money that I can put away for Christmas next year, like I did this year. There are so many opportunities available online to make money like Swagbucks (where I was able to get kids a Wii this year for Free!!) to surveys that are totally legitimate and while your not gonna get rich overnight, every little bit helps and can really add up!

To start off with, Twitter has become a venue where you can earn a little extra money and there are currently 3 that I know of and have joined:

Sponsored Tweets: I have been with this company for a few months and to date I have made $28.30 so far.

How It Works: Once you sign up , you’ll receive offers from advertisers for you to tweet via email. You then get to choose whether you want to accept or decline an offer. This method was slow starting in the process as I only got a few offers the first 2 months, but lately I have gotten quite a few offers all at once. I generally get offers that are relevant for me to tweet out, however there were a few that I did decline because it wasn’t in my readers interests.

Twittad: I have been with Twittad for several months now and have a total of  $15 to date.

How it Works: Twittad offers campaigns that are matched up by your profile. Once a campaign is matched to you, you have the option to accept or decline it. If you accept , then your Twitter background will display the advertiser for a set amount of days. Once the campaign is over, your background will go back to your usual profile. So far it has been slow moving for me and I don’t get too many campaigns. Generally I get about 1-2 campaigns a month at best.

Ad.ly: I just joined this today and it appears to be the same concept as Sponsored Tweets as they match you with a sponsor and the ad gets tweeted out via your twitter account. One feature that I find interesting is that I can choose to have my earnings donated to a charity! I’ll have to keep you updated on how well I do with this program!

While I do realize these are all small amounts,  they are relatively easy and don’t  take a lot of time or effort. However, I do think these opportunities will increase as more advertisers sign on with these companies because Twitter has become so popular!

One word of advice: I do highly recommend that you only accept offers that are relevant to your Twitter followers though and that you are not just advertising just for the sake of earning a little extra money. I know your followers will thank you for it!

Have you had any success with any of these Twitter Programs? Or do you know of another company where you can earn money via Twitter? If so, we’d love to hear about it!!

iRazoo: Win Free $5 Amazon GC, Earn Points for Free Stuff & More!

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

You all know by now how I am a HUGE fan of Swagbucks, yes? Well I have found a new search engine site that reader Emily has let us in on called iRazoo.

It has the same search engine concept as google,yahoo & swagbucks but with an added twist- you can also “earn” points for your searches. Emily has confirmed that she has won 2 $5 Amazon.com giftcards and hey, I am game after all! Its worth a try at signing up to see what it brings!

Here are the details of the program from the site:

How does the  search engine and points system work?

Step 1: Perform a regular search query. Once you click on result, at the top of the web page you will see our voting frame which asks you to decide to either recommend or not recommend a website to other users. By recommending or not recommending a website, you will receive “4″ points (up to a maximum of 300 points per day).

Step 2: You can also receive additional “4″ points for each comment you enter. Therefore if you vote on a website and enter a comment you will get “8″ points total each time (you have a maximum limit of earning 300 points per day). You can also earn “4″ points each time you enter a comment about a website for which others have already voted on (you will see these websites under our “People Recommended Results” heading on the search results page).

Step 3: You can also receive points by referring a friend on our “Refer a friend” link at the bottom of every page. Each friend of yours that registers on the iRazoo website will earn you “50″ points (there is no limit to the number of points you can earn this way. You have no daily limit, the number of points you can earn are unlimited!!!)

Step 4: Redeem all your hard earned points on our “Accounts” page by exchanging them for exciting prizes such as MP3 players, cameras, memory sticks, game systems, etc!

Step 5: In addition to more points, each person you refer to the iRazoo.com website increases your chances of earning an Instant-Win Gift Certificate! How you may ask? It’s simple. If anybody you refer to the iRazoo website wins a Gift Certificate, you will win that same Gift Certificate as well! Gift certificates are awarded randomly to users just for searching and/or voting on websites.
The best way to earn more points or win an Instant Gift Certificate is to use iRazoo as your everyday search engine and to refer as many people as possible to iRazoo.

Your benefits for using iRazoo:

  • You get excellent search results (we aggregate all the data from the best search engines on the planet!)
  • You get to help further refine our excellent search results for others as well as benefit from other’s refined search results
  • You get points for each vote/comment you perform, each website you recommend/not recommend, and each referral you make
  • Best of all, you get to exchange your points for fantastic prizes!

Now aftertaking a look at the prizes, I do think they are too high in points but if I get a chance to win a $5 GC, I will be just as happy! And I’ve already accrued 16 points in a matter of seconds just by leaving a quik comment and recommending!

Want to sign up? Just click here to sign up!

Has anyone else had any success with iRazoo? Please share your experiences with us!

20/20: Childcare Online Research Opportunity

Monday, August 10th, 2009

NEW logo SMALL

Research companies are a good way to earn a little extra cash for stay at home moms. I just recently completed a J&J research panel where I was compensated $100 for only 2 hours of my time, although I did have to drive about an hour but it was worth it:)

If you ever get an opportunity to find a legitimate company and you feel comfortable with doing research (believe me, I have my limits!), they are a fantastic way to help and earn money.

My Good Cents found one research group, 20/20 that is open right now and looking for study participants for a Childcare survey which will require you to log on and answer question from August 14-Sept 8th. If you meet the requirements and complete the study, you will be compensated with a $225 online gift card (not sure to what store, maybe an online Visa,etc?)

If interested, you can fill out the pre-screening application to see if you qualify. Please be sure to provide accurate information as they do call you if you are eligible:

Thank you for taking our survey.  If you qualify for the paid portion of the research study based on the answers you provided, a 20/20 Research recruiter will contact you within the next 2-3 business days.

***Please note that you will ONLY be contacted by a 20/20 Research recruiter IF you qualify for the paid portion of the research study.

If you are not a member of the 20/20 Research database and would like to join, go to http://www.2020research.com/panel.php

Do you have any research companies that you recommend to our readers, please leave us a comment sharing them with us! Or maybe you have had success with a particular study, we’d love to hear about it!

I have a goodie for you that I am happy to report actually works!!! While it is a bit of work, the amount that you can earn depends totally upon you and the offers or referrals itself.

The only part that I was skeptical about was that I has to pay $25 OOP at first for the program. But I did my research 1st, and decided to give it a try. After all, if I didn’t like the program, there’s a 30 day day money back guarantee so what’s to lose?

Earn & Learn With Free Samples

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

Free SampleMonetizing your website or blog can be very rewarding but it doesn’t come easy. However there are some companies that have gone above and beyond the call of duty to try and simplify the process. The latest opportunity I have run across is using Ready Site a partnership that I became aware of in a special announcement from Logical Media.

Ready Site is easy to use and the best feature of all is that it updates daily by itself. If you feel that your readers would be interested in free offers like product samples (who doesn’t love a free sample to learn about and try a new product) then this is for you.

After you have been approved it is very simple to create your customized page or banner to place on your website, blog or social networking site.  Ready Site manages the campaigns so there is no need to keep up with emails regarding expired campaigns or changes in current offers.

Basically once you have created your page or banner and added the html code to your site you can forget about it. Your work is done, sit back watch your stats and wait to get paid. Right now Ready Site is offering $25 for new signups so if you feel this is something you would be interested in right now is the perfect time to get started.

Just to recap how easy it is to use Ready Site.

  1. Sign up and wait to be approved.
  2. Customize your page or banner and place the code on your website/blog/social network site.
  3. Watch your stats and wait to be paid.

The longest step in this process for me was getting approved. Customization took literally 5 or 10 minutes and the banner I designed fits perfectly in my sidebar and matches my site design. Once I placed the code on my site the ads were there immediately and I have already noticed them changing on their own. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to sign up and use Ready Site.

Word of Mouth Programs: Test Product Samples for Free

Do you enjoy sampling FREE products and services? Have you ever wanted to tell companies how they can improve your favorite items? Do your friends turn to you for your opinions and advice?

 

Then you may want to sign up for Word of Mouth Marketing Campaigns that allow you to test product samples in exchange for your opinion and passing along the word.

I’ve been a member of a few great companies and have gotten some really great Freebies and coupons. Here are my top picks below!

SheSpeaks:

SheSpeaks.com creates valuable conversations between women and brands. SheSpeaks members try products, provide their feedback, and influence the brands that matter to them. Its a win for consumers and win for brands. Since becoming a member, I’ve had 3 chances for trying Brand new products! Great company!!!!

Buzz Agent

Join BzzAgent’s word-of-mouth (WOM) marketing network to try new products and spread word of mouth. I’ve gotten quite a few great products to try out since becoming a member last year!!

General Mills: Psst

The Pssst is a General Mills word of mouth program that asks that you pass along coupons to friends, family, and co-workers and in exchange you get valuable products and coupons to try!

House Party

A House Party™ is thousands of parties happening across the country on a single day, hosted by people just like you. Each event is sponsored by a leading brand and focuses on something cool—like a new product, hit TV show, or great cause—that the sponsor wants its best fans to experience firsthand and share with their friends. To date, I have hosted 2 House Parties! Such fun and great party packs!!!!

You don’t get picked for every campaign, just a few that fit your profile, so be sure to thoroughly complete any profiles in your account so that you can be chosen for campaigns!!

Also, be sure to use an email address that you check everyday because you never know when a campaign will become available and you don’t want to miss out on one!

Now go and spread the word,lol!!!
