Let's Make Money!!

He was an older guy, overweight, who walked slowly with a cane.  Most clear nights he could be found sitting on a park bench after sunset, slumping over the back of the bench and tilting his head backwards to look at the darkening sky. Curiosity got the better of me one evening, so I walked up to him and asked him what he was looking for up there in the emptiness.   He smiled back at me, and replied, "I'm not looking for anything, young man." My quizzical look prompted him to add, "I'm casting my memories to the stars."  Evidently he believed that he could "preserve" the pleasant memories of his life by mentally sending them out into space.   I didn't ask him how he thought such a thing could possibly work, but instead asked him if he were preserving all his memories, or just the pleasant ones. He scoffed at such a stupid question.  "Of course not!  Sad, unhappy, painful memories: they are all cast into the pit of oblivion, where they belo...

  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 ...

Oh good grief!  Nevermind ..... Coinpot.co turned out to be a scam! Moral of the story: be very, very, VERY careful who you send money to on the internet!! Great news!  The folks over at Coinpot.co  have recently implemented a " VIP Rewards " program!  Now in addition to accumulating crypto via faucet drips , we can also earn a nice rate of return. For those of you unfamiliar with Coinpot, it is a cryptocurrency microwallet , (IMHO the BEST cryptocurrency microwallet), which as I've already stated allows us to accumulate tiny amounts of cryptocurrency via faucet drips.  What is a "faucet drip"?  It is simply the small payout we get from visiting a cryptocurrency faucet .   Following, (copied from my cryptocurrency page ), are some direct links to the Coinpot faucets: Bitfun.co – a great Coinpot faucet that can pay as frequently as every three minutes. Moonbit.co.in – Coinpot Bitcoin faucet. Moonbitcoin.cash – Coinpot Bitcoin Cash faucet. Mo...

Imagine this:  Out in the vast emptiness of space , beyond the galaxies and gases, beyond even the infinitely powerful pull of crushingly massive singularities. a tiny spherical object floats motionless.  Dark to the outside world, if you were to peel off layer after layer of its thick metal shell, you'd eventually find inside what appears to be a living being .  Or maybe the remnants of a once living being, as in its current state it's hard to determine whether it is still alive or not. Protruding from the surface of the sphere is a multitude of gun barrels, laser tubes, or other types of unknown weaponry.  Many of these projections are damaged, and the surface of the sphere itself is marred and gouged, as if it had been under a severe attack . Lights on a small control panel inside still flicker off and on, and tiny monitors flash incomprehensible symbols.  Visual gauges indicate various levels of something, (fuel, energy), will soon be depleted, while minuscu...

Remember those Mosquito T-shirts we were selling via Teespring?  To date, despite our inept marketing , we have a net profit of about $60.00 from them.  Not too shabby, but certainly in no way positively impacting our standard of living . As $60.00 in online sales is a large amount, (at least for us), we decided to attempt to repeat our success.  In honor of the stupid Coronavirus that we're all hiding from , (unsuccessfully, IMHO), we created another T-shirt , and a Mask , to also sell on Teespring.  T-Shirt Front T-Shirt Back Mask These two products we have been mostly using the youlikehits.com website to promote .  The jury is still out over how successful this will be. As I've written before, marketing is easily my Achilles heel .  No matter how I try, I always feel slimy when promoting a product, even a product I think is great , and fully believe in .  This being the case, trying to sell stuff on the internet is probably not such a great pursuit...

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...

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...
