An Easy Way to Make Some Money

Image
There is an almost guaranteed way to make some money on the internet.  I've been puttering around with this site for about six months now, and I have made over $30.00 every month with it.   This site is InboxDollars , and it is one of those "survey sites" .  If you work at it, you should be able to make at least $2.00 / day slogging through surveys. To be honest, now that I am "retired" I am spending less time on the site, (how many surveys can a person do before they suffer brain damage ?), but it is a way to make some beer money, and it absolutely pays.  I've cashed out to my PayPal account multiple times with no problems: If you have a lot of spare time, or you're stuck somewhere, (waiting at the dentist's office, accompanying your wife as she shops for clothes), it may be worth your time to putter around with it too.  The pay is much higher than cryptocurrency faucets , but I still wouldn't count on InboxDollars as your primary source of inc

Youlikehits.com - a Fun Source for Traffic?

Image
Whilst wading through the flotsam and jetsam of " make money on the internet " videos on YouTube, I stumbled across one, (  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az40wFyaf_k ) that introduced me to a site I had never heard of, namely youlikehits.com .   The idea behind this website is that you acquire "points" for viewing other people's websites , or retweeting one of their twitter posts , and then in return, you can use your points to "pay" other people to view your website, or retweet one of your twits.  ("Tweet", "Twit", "Twitter, Twitter"  -  I feel like I'm speaking to Tweety Bird !)  Ideally it's a great way to get some free traffic. Realistically I'm not sure how valuable the views or retweets you receive will be, (for all I know this site is infested with bots ), but it's kinda fun, and I view " making money on the internet" these days as more of a form of entertainment than a serious profes

Play it Safe, or Shoot for the Moon

Image
One of the dilemmas anyone attempting to make money online will eventually face is whether to play it safe, and make a guaranteed, but tiny amount, or go for the big payout, with the risk of earning absolutely nothing. " Slow but steady " may indeed win the race, but if your income is only pennies a day, I don't see how you can't help but be overwhelmed by expenses. At this point I feel obligated to point out that the prudent path in life is to acquire a skill or three people are willing to pay big money for, (said skills are often difficult and time consuming to learn), and then WORK HARD AND LIVE BELOW YOUR MEANS .  Ideally then your income will exceed your expenses, and you can blow the excess on wild living place any leftover loot in the stable investments of your choice.  Like they say, it's not rocket surgery .  However, this is a blog about making "easy" online money , so we'll just ignore that sage advice. So you majored in Art Appreciatio

John Waters Saved My Life!

John Mathew Smith & www.celebrity-photos.com from Laurel  Maryland, USA / CC BY-SA (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0) John Waters saved my life! Not literally, of course, although perhaps literarily: his book Carsick reawakened a sense of purpose and adventure in me that I had been letting atrophy through neglect.  In my long career as a COBOL computer programmer I spent too many years spent digging through old, brittle computer code for stifling bureaucracies , I suppose, and lost my sense of amazement at this crazy circus we call life. Sometimes the best expression of responsibility is to behave irresponsibly. The second huge way this book was a blessing from God was that it rescued me from my feeble attempts to sell crap from Clickbank and other bottom dwelling "affiliate marketplaces".  Fortunately, I suppose, (although I'm not proud or moral enough to refuse the money), I have yet to sell anything from Clickbank or its imitators, so I'm no

Our First Campaign!

Yesterday we launched our first marketing campaign.  Woo hoo! We are following the method explained in the YouTube video, " Make $500+ PER POST ", basically following it step by step.  We are even promoting the same product, the " Cinderella Solution " weight loss method. Will we really make $500 per post? Here are the details if you too want to try this, and make "$500 per post!": 1.  Instructional video we followed:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMprgsBmElA 2.  Product we promoted:  https://c75d8vtdrldy2oac2rw3ubfo4t.hop.clickbank.net/ 3.  PLR Article we used as a template for our weebly page:  http://plrplr.com/93468/how-to-drop-weight-and-become-healthier-using-these-7-simple-everyday-life-tips/ 4.  Our weebly page:  https://zapthefat.weebly.com/  To date we've added two answers to weight loss questions on Quora , with a link to ZaptheFat at the end of each answer.

Brief Recap - Novice Affiliate, and a History of Failure

The purpose of this blog is to test a few of the multitude of " Get Rich Quick! " schemes on the unholy-tube , and see if just maybe any of them will actually generate a buck or two.  However, before launching face first into this fool's errand, we thought it might be wise to give a quick summary of our " success " generating online income to date. Years ago we managed to snag the fantastic title, " Novice Affiliate " for our fledgling channel.  If you look at our videos , (a sometimes painful task!), you'll discover that we really have NOT done all that well. We did have an Amazon based tea store, using a method we learned about from Franklin Hatchett .  That store was slowly building up a customer base, when the poop heads at Bluehost accused us of introducing viruses onto their servers, and yanked our webpages.  (Beware of ANYONE trying to get you to signup with Bluehost!!)  With the loss of our online tea store our affiliate income basically d
