An Easy Way to Make Some Money

-


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 income.

I've said it before, and I'll probably say it again: the absolute best way to make money is to acquire a skill that people are willing to pay a lot of money for, then once you are working, live as far below your means as possible, and invest the difference.

I suppose I was lucky, because as I was growing up my parents instilled a sense of frugality in me, and it has mostly stuck with me ever since.  (With a brief, highly unfortunate misadventure into timeshare ownership being a dramatic exception.)  "You only earn what you save," was lectured to me over and over, and because I listened to this advice, now that I am in my dotage I can somewhat comfortably rely on my savings to sustain me.  (Plus money from Social Insecurity, and an imminent relocation to our farm in the Philippines.  But that is a topic for another day.)


No post should be considered complete without affiliate links, and this post has its share.  Here's another one to satisfy all but the most jaded amongst you: click me!

Phooey on Making Money Online!!

  Well poop!  With the latest make-money-online fiasco, (coinpot.co turned out, after two years, to be a scam), I've pretty much given up on all these "instant online riches".  Yeah, if I had listened to my own advice , I'd be better off.  But no one has ever accused me of NOT being hard headed.  (Hey, wanna buy some really cool mosquito t-shirts? ) Since the goal of raking in vast globs of wealth via this blog seem to be nothing more than an illusion, the question arises: what the heck should I do with it? Well ...... just because I absolutely SUCK at all forms of sales and salesmanship, doesn't mean I can't use the internet to increase my wealth.  I'll just have to stick to investing, (or speculating, as the case may be). Another blog on investing?  Ugh.  Listen, just buy a good, low cost mutual fund, (most Vanguard funds are safe choices), and use dollar cost averaging to add to your investments.  Do this faithfully, and you'll eventually be wealthy

Play it Safe, or Shoot for the Moon

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

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
