Ink Cartridges

If you are looking for ink cartridges then there are certainly many options available to you so which one do you choose? Personally I use the Internet to find the cartridge I want because the shops never have the exact cartridge I am looking for and I end up spending more time looking for the ink cartridge than I really should.

When looking for online ink cartridge stores you want one that stocks all the major brands, has fast shipping and, of course, is relatively cheap. It is also important that the website is easy to use and has secure online payments. The best thing about online stores is the range of ink cartridges because if you are looking for a specialist cartridge like a
HP C6656 you want to know that you will be able to find it.

One of my favorites is carrot ink and they offer all of the above features and also have free shipping with over $50 spent (pretty easy to do when ordering ink cartridges). They stock all the major brands like cannon, lexmark, brother, epson, dell and
hp ink cartridges as well as many others. There prices are very reasonable and can claim a 30-70% saving over manufacturers prices. If you are looking for an ink cartridge then it is well worth checking out carrot ink.

Free Survey List - ebook full resale rights

What is all this about...?
You might have noticed the new section of my menu talking about a free survey list for download.

This great ebook (PDF format) contains over 170 sites that you can make money from and all are completely free to join! Not only is it free, but the author is offering full resale rights of the ebook, which means you can sell it on ebay legally without paying anything for it. This means that not only can you make a few dollars from the programs in the book, but some extra money selling this valuable ebook on ebay. The author only asks that you do not charge too much for the information.

I have had a quick read of the ebook and the information is quite valuable the author has done a great job. The free survey list contains much more than survey sites though - there are many free to join money making programs like paid to click, paid to do offers, paid to read email etc.
The full resale rights only sweeten the deal - I'm off to ebay :-)

Why is it free...?
Because so many people are selling this information for too much (up to hundreds of dollars). These expensive survey lists that companies want you to pay for are full of information that is freely available to anyone. The author wanted people to have it for free and also give people some great information to start out with making free money online.

What about spyware and viruses...?
I have tested the file and I can guarantee that the ebook is 100% spyware and virus free, which is a huge bonus!


My tips for using the free survey list ebook:
1. Download the ebook
2. Sign up to the programs you are interested in
3. Refer other people to the sites
4. Sell the ebook on ebay

DollarPays Review

I am going to review a relatively new program today that has many people excited.

Overview
Dollar Pays is a paid to do offers sites similar to the already popular Cash Crate and Treasure Trooper. It is a fairly new site and it is possible to get in on the ground floor of the program. It is completely free to join and some of the offers they will pay you to do are completely free, there are also cheap trial offers that can net you quite a good amount of money for your troubles.

They pay via paypal and their minimum cash out is only $5,

They offer daily surveys for US and Canadian residents and offer 75cents per day if you qualify (you could cashout in 7 days if you qualified for each survey!!)

They also have a very good referral system where you earn 20% of first level referrals and 10% of second level referrals.

Pros
Easy
Most offers are free or very cheap.
Daily surveys (US and Canada)
Good 2 level referral system
Low cashout ($5) and they pay via paypal!

Cons
Still new so their are some teething problems.

My opinion
This is a great new site well worth signing up to. Refer lots of people and you could be on more than a few dollars a day! To find out more or to sign up simply go to the DollarPays Website

Hits4Pay and Deals n Cash

Hi everyone. I have been unwell with the bad flu virus going around, but I am back today to review a couple of similar sites that are owned and run by the same person.

Overview
Hits4Pay
This site pays you 2c for every email you read. The advertisements are very professional and you only have to view the website for one minute to get credited.

They have a decent 2 tier referral system and you get 1c for every email your referrals read up to the second level.

They ususally send 2-5 emails a day and without referrals equates to approx 50 cents per week.

The best part is you get $10 free for signing up and payout is via PayPal when you reach $25.

Pros
Easy
$10 just for signing up
Pay Via paypal

Cons
Takes a while to reach $25 cashout (it is much quicker if you refer lots of people though!)

My opinion
This is a great site and the $10 sign up bonus should get people interested! To sign up or find out more simply click to go to the Hits4Pay Website.

Overview
Deals n Cash
This is basically the same as the other site really except that the emails are less frequent, but are worth more.

Registration is only open to people from USA, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia.

Again you get a $5 bonus for signing up and the cashout is also via PayPal at $30.

Pros
Easy
$5 Bonus
Pay Via paypal

Cons
Can take a while to earn $30 payout (get those referrals going!)

My opinion
This is another great site and to sign up or find out more you can click to go to the DealsnCash Website.


Overall opinion
The minimum payout on these sites is quite high but if you log in each day to read the emails and you refer as many people as possible it can really help you earn some very handy cash. Marketing Pond can help you get referrals for both these sites. You can read my marketing pond review here

The 5 easiest ways to make some extra cash online

This blog has been around for a while now and I thought I would go over all the types of programs that I have reviewed to show you top five ways to make a little pocket money online.

Making some extra spending money online is so easy. You just need to know where to look and get the information about the best programs, but remember never pay for information that you can get for free! Here are my top five ways to earn free money online:

1. Surveys

Although you can't make a full time living (although some will claim that you can) you can make some extra cash from this type of sites. Survey sites are very popular and you need to check your email regularly for new surveys to avoid missing out.

I have reviewed several top servey sites on this blog so far and they include:

Caio Survey Site Review

Survey Savvy Review

Emailcash Review

Spider Metrix Review

2. Getting paid to view ads

Companies need to advertise products and they are willing to pay you to look at their offers. There are more and more of these "paid per click" sites opening all the time.

I have reviewed on of these programs on this blog:

Click Sense Review

3. Getting paid to read emails

This is very similar to number 2 but the advertisements come to your inbox and you get paid for reading them. Make sure you use a free email address you don't care about in case you get spammed.

So far I have reviewed:

Nilecash Review

4. Doing free offers

Companies are willing to pay you to sign up to their free programs or take free trials. Some of these sites require you to refer friends and family to get paid.

These type of program generally pay more than the 4 other types of sites I have reviewed some very good ones:

Giftmonkey

Treasure Trooper

Cash Crate

5. Surfing the web

Although many of these sites closed down in the dot com crash, a few sites have started again. Basically these sites pay you for surfing the web while viewing advertisements.

The only one I have reviewed is Agloco and the jury is still out on them yet, however you can still check out my original review here AGLOCO review

All the programs listed are totally free to join and remember; never pay for information you can get for free. Good luck!

Yuwie Review

Hi everyone I have had a great week and I hope you are having the same. The next money making site I will write about is quite an interesting one!


Yuwie Review

Overview

Do you love social networking sites like myspace, facebook and all the others? Then this new site might be for you and might make you a few dollars along the way

How it works

Yuwie is a social networking site that pays you to use it. Basically, the advertisers pay Yuwie every time their banners or ads are shown on the site. You accumulate 'page views' which are converted to cash every month based on how much money Yuwie receives from the advertisers.

So what exactly how do you accumulate page views (ie get paid) for? Well, among other things, they pay you for blogging, uploading photos, messaging others and for others viewing your blog or profile.


They are open to members internationally and pays via paypal when you reach $50 via PayPal, cheque and more.

Yuwie also has a great referral system that pays to 10 levels!

Pros
You get paid for something that you probably already do for free!
It is very easy
Great referral system
Free to join

Cons
It is new so there are still a few bugs
Minimum payout is a little high

My opinion

This is a great site for people that love the social networking sites, because it is free and they pay you for using it - there really is no catch. Potentially better than myspace or facebook? Well I don't know, but it sure pays better!

To check it out or sign up simply click here to go to the Yuwie Website!

Sponsored Post - Discount Click

DiscountClick Review
Online marketing is big business, really big business and if you have the right plan then you can drive traffic to your web site. Discountclick offers search engine promotion and optimization and internet marketing systems for all types of web pages.

The site itself looks very professional and seems to be the genuine deal. It offers free registration, but you will need to pay for their services - the site does list how much it will cost if you look for it.

Sponsored Post - Ms. Merchant Account

Review Ms Merchant Accounts

Ms Merchant Accounts offer credit card processing for online and other types of business. They can process most of the top credit cards and this includes:
Mastercard
Visa
American Express
Discover Card (I have not heard of this one before)

Their web site is fairly well laid out and has a fair bit of info regarding what they offer. Registration seems easy, but I could not find any solid information on their actual rates. I would suggest firing them a quick email to find this out before registration.

To check them out or find out more simply go to the Ms Merchant Account Website

My Power Mall Review

Well this is my first post for a while. I was on holidays (again) and had a great time! So I come home this week to find out that Paris Hilton was in jail and Lindsay Lohan will probably end up there too! What is the world coming to. Well enough of that I will get straight back into the reviews...

This site is a little different from what I usually blog, but it really can have some great benefits for you (my readers) and you deserve something special don't you!

My Power Mall Review

Ovierview
This site really is gold for anyone that makes purchases online. Basically Power Mall will pay you back a percentage of your online purchases you make through their website. How can they do this? Well they get paid by the companies to make sales and they give you a percentage back. My power Mall has over 1000 different online shopping sites and many are very well known like Target, Nike, Blockbuster, Cirtuit City Kmart Dell etc. Literally something for everyone.

The second best part of this site is that they also have a massive 9 level referral system and you get paid a commission when your referrals make a purchase. You simply sign up for a free business mall and refer others to do the same. So for this part of the site more referrals = more money back for you! Referring people is fairly easy... just tell everyone you know about it!

Like everything I review on my blog this is completely free to join and there are no fees. You can simply sign up and refer people without ever making a purchase if you like and still make some money.

Pros
Free to join
They will pay you something back when you make a online purchase
The referral system actually has potential to make quite a bit of money with some work
This site is listed on marketing pond, which regularly checks websites for scams

Cons
The site layout could be better

Tips
1. Sign up for a free business mall. Then make sure you make lots of referrals to get the best earning potential out of this site. If you don't know how to get referrals you can use marketing pond for this, which I reviewed earlier this year. Read my marketing pond review here.

2. Use this site to make purchases you usually make and they will give you a percentage off what you usually pay back - how good is that! Make sure you go through the My Power Mall website though or you won't get your money back.

My opinion
This site has two levels of coolness (is that a word). Firstly they pay you back for making purchases online through their website. Secondly you can make some serious cash by signing up for a free business mall and referring others to also use My Power Mall to make purchases.
For more information or to sign up simply go to the My Power Mall Website.

Review of the reviews - my topsites list

Sorry for the lack of updates the last week. I have been bogged down with work. Today I am going to list all of my past reviews and write a little about what I now think of them a few months down the track. I will try and list them in the order I think they deserve to be.

You can scroll down or click on the links to go to my original Blog Post Reviews and from there you can get into the sites:

My topsites so far:

#1
Giftmonkey - Is basically a site that pays you to complete a free offer and get a few friends to do the same. IMHO it is the most exciting site that I have found so far, it has very high earning potential compared with many others. I am close to cashing out $125 US. You can read my whole and original giftmonkey review

#2
Treasure Trooper- A site that pays you to take surveys, complete offers and more. It is another site that has a higher potential to make money. It is fantastic, although I must say is best for US citizens. You can read my whole and original Treasure Trooper Review

#3
Marketing Pond - One of the best sites out their to get referrals. I think very highly of it. You can read my whole and original Marketing Pond Review

#4
Survey Savvy - A really great survey site, which is made better by a great referral system. I have made over $15 so far. You can read my whole and original Survey Savvy Review

#5
Caio Survey - Without a doubt one of the best survey sites around. You can read my whole and original Caio Survey Review

#6
Cash Crate - It is very similar to treasure trooper (you could say the younger sibling of treasure trooper), but has good potential. You can read my whole and original Cash Crate Review

#7
Clix Sense - A good paid to click on ads site - you get even more ads (and therefore more cash) if you upgrade your account. You can read my whole and original Clix Sense Review

#8 - This sits at number 8 because it is still developing - it could go higher.
AGLOCO - Agloco is now up and running and still has lots of potential, but I still can't tell you exactly what you will make - look for updates in the future. You can read my whole and original AGLOCO review

The best of the rest:

Emailcash - Emailcash is a decent survey site for Australians after a few months I still haven't received enough to cashout, but am close.

Spider Metrix Blog Post - While it is not overly exciting it is a solid site worth thinking about for the really serious.

Yoursay Blog Post - A site where it takes some serious effort and dedication to make anything.

Nilecash Blog Post - It's a small, but good paid to read email site.

Xpango Blog Post - A bit like giftmonkey, but it is a very poor cousin - offers take too long to get points and referrals never seem to come through. It is worth it if you have patience.

Algoco Viewbar update

AGLOCO VIEWBAR UPDATE

Yes! After months since I reviewed this product Agloco has finally released their viewbar to the public. It isn't running at full capacity yet ie. some ad servers are not working, but at least we now know this program is real and is not vapour ware like some people have suggested!


Basically agloco will pay people for surfing the net and viewing ads from their viewbar (apparently spyware free!)
To read my in depth original review click here AGLOCO review


My opinion now:
You must know that they are going to gauge user interest and then start paying after a few months and you should be reimbursed from the time you download the viewbar. Even though this is a bit of a drawback it is still free to join and you can still get in on the ground floor of this program.

To sign up and download the viewbar simply click the link to go to AGLOCO WEBSITE

Marketing Pond update

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Marketing pond update
For those that regularly read my blog you will remember my marketing pond review (for those that are new click here to read it Marketing Pond Review). This is a fantastic program for people to get more referrals for many of the programs I have blogged about on this site.

Well I am talking about it today because they have just released 4 new programs to sign up to and get referrals for!! These are basic overviews of the new programs:

1. Matrix Mails- Paid to read emails, paid to click, paid to signup, paid to search the internet. Only $2 payout through PayPal, Stormpay, E-gold. 6 referral levels

2. Online Earnings- Paid to read emails. No minimum payout every 15 days. They send 0.3-1c mails (about 10 a day- they are really great!) Only 1 ref level at 25%.

3. Linato- Paid to click site. Most clicks worth 1c. 2 levels or referrals.

4. Dream Clix- Paid to click in prelaunch. $5 min payout and 40% referrals earnings.

Cash Crate Review

Hi everyone today I am going to review a very similar site to my last review.

Cash Crate Review

Overview
Cash crate offers you rewards (money) for completing offers and surveys much like the last company I reviewed Tresure Trooper - (click the link to read the review).

Once you sign up you are presented with offers that you sign up to and get rewarded for. There are also surveys you can complete for rewards as well.

If you are worried this is a scam then this is how they explain how they can afford to do this: "Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so."

Cash Crate claim they give back 75% of advertising money they receive to the consumer (you), which is a very good return compared with some other sites.

Many offers are free offers or trial offers you can cancel and there are also some offers you need to pay for, but you can choose not to do these offers. (note: the offers that need to be paid for are generally worth more rewards)

Like Treasure trooper the site is mainly geared towards US citizens and other English speaking countries, but anyone can sign up as long as they meet the minimum requirement of being 13 years old.

Cash crate claim members can make up to $1000 if they sign up to every offer and while I don't doubt their maths the best way to make money from this site is to do the offers as well as referring other people (friends, family, classmates etc.) to sign up under your referral link.

The referral program is 2 levels deep and you get paid 20% of what your refferals make and 10% of what their referrals make, which seems to me like a very good system for a site like this!

Minimum payout is only $10, which can be achieved fairly quickly.

Pros
Fairly easy and fun
Low minimum payout ($10)
Free to join (like all sites I blog about)
Many free offers

Cons
If you are not from the US there are less offers
Not as many offers as Treasure trooper

Tips - (My advice on the best way to make some money through cash crate)
1. Sign up

2. Complete all the free offers you can so you get maximum reward

3. Refer friends, family, co workers, classmates etc.

4. Check back regularly for new offers and surveys

My opinion
Cash crate is another site worth checking out even though I think Treasure Trooper is the most promising site for making money out of the two. It is probably worth signing up to both as it is free and both offer slightly different ways of making money. Both sites also have a great referral system and low minimum cash out, so go for it - it's free after all!

Treasure Trooper Review

Hi everyone,
Spent the weekend installing wireless network and had so many issues I couldn't post, but after two days of fiddling its all working so I am going to review an interesting site to reward you for your patience.

Treasure trooper review

Overview
Treasure Trooper is a site that combines surveys and online offers into one site. You can earn money through completing surveys or by doing offers, many of which are free.

There are literally hundreds of offers that you can sign up to and get paid and many are free.
eg. Just for signing upto ebay and making a bid you earn $6!!

The daily surveys are worth 75 cents and if you qualify that means $22 a month just from surveys!

Cashout is only $20, which can be achieved fairly quickly.

As another bonus Treasure trooper will also save you money and reward you when you shop online through them.

One of the best parts about treasure trooper is the fantastic referral system. They will pay you 25% of what your referrals earn and 5% of what your referrals refer (hope that makes sense). So remember to get your refferal link and tell all your friends about

Now the only downside to this site is some of the website is only available to US citizens, but people from other countries can still join. If you are from the US then the amount of things you can do for a reward is amazing!

Pros
Amazing number of offers to sign up to!
It's easy
The potential to make a bit of cash compared with many other survey/offer sites
$20 Cashout
Great 2 tier referral system
Daily surveys
They actually pay! (which is a big bonus lol)

Cons
Non-US citizens can't make full potential of this site, but can still refer people for rewards.

Tips

1. Go online every day and complete the short survey (US citizens only) 75c daily adds up to $22 a month!

2. Complete as many of the the free offers for money - you are getting something for nothing and there is no risk for big rewards.
Note: Cookies must be enabled when you complete an offer
The money for completing offers will take a couple of days to come through - but it will.

3. Get your referral link and refer people to get more rewards.

My opinion
This one gets me excited because it blows those low paying sites out of the water. This site combines the best of the survey sites and the get paid to do offers sites and ultimately is an exciting and fun way to make a bit of money. US citizens should not hesitate because every part of this site is open to them, but non-US citizens can still benefit from this amazing site.

Xpango Review

Hi everyone - hope you had a great weekend! It was my wedding anniversary this weekend (yes I remembered!) and I also had to attend a wedding so I lucked out!

Today I am going to review a relatively new site that is a little different from my normal reviews, but has some potential.

Xpango Review

Overview
If you remember my giftmonkey review a couple of weeks ago then you will be familiar with the type of site xpango is: It basically offers free gifts for people that sign up to a free offer and refer some friends and family.

Xpango is a UK based site (but open to most of the world) that offers free mobile phones, ipods, games consoles (ps3, xbox 360 and wii), mobile gaming (psp, nintendo ds) etc. as rewards for signing up and completing a free offer.

The majority of the offers are only available to the UK or US, but there are also enough international offers for people outside these regions.

Now once again before you yell scam this site can afford to do this because they are getting paid by the advertisers and then a portion of that money (in the form of gifts) comes back to you!

As I have said you need to sign up to an offer and then refer people to get credits - then your credits can be used for a free gift (it usually calculates 1 full referral for 1 credit):
-Mobile phones 17 credits and up
-Xbox 360 21 credits
-PSP 17 credits
-Nintendo DS 15 credits
-Nintendo wii 18 credits
-PS3 42 credits
-Ipod 14 credits and up
And many more gifts avaliable

A great thing about this site is that you can earn one gift and then get more referrals towards another gift ie. the amount of gifts you can receive is endless if you keep referring!

Xpango also has other ways of earning credits:
1. Clix system - you buy a clix package, which is shown on someones website. Then when someone clicks and signs up through your link you get the credit!
2. Buying crappy items - You can buy an item (mobile ringtone, usb stick etc.) and earn credits for it, which is good if you only need one credit to get your gift!
3.Selling their products on ebay - I know nothing about this, but apparently you can sell their ringtones and mobile accessories on ebay to earn credits!

Pros
Fairly easy
Some of the offers are free
Big rewards

Cons
Offers take a while to register as credits
Sometimes your referrals don't complete and offer and you don't get the credits

Tips - Follow these tips closely to receive you free credits

1. Sign up via the Xpango Website and choose your free gift.

2. Complete a free offer - the real networks offer is open to everyone and is free for 14 days and you are allowed to cancel this after 10 days. (I did this one and the credits took a while to be displayed, but I can confirm it works - be patient!) The blockbuster offer is also free and you are allowed to cancel before you are charged!

3. Get credits by referring people or another method offered by xpango (Make sure you copy down you referral link to share with friends and family)

4. Get your free gift and start from step 2 again!!

My opinion
I must admit I like giftmonkey more, but this site has very similar potential and still gets me excited! Xpango is fairly new and is worth getting into because the rewards and gifts are certainly worth the effort (even if you only sell them on ebay lol).

Caio Survey Review

Hi I hope you all had a great weekend (and public holiday if you live where I do). Today I am going to review what I believe is one of the best survey sites around.

Ciao Survey Review
Basically the Ciao survey company is like many of the other paid survey sites - in that they pay you to take surveys (Well duh I guess). Like all the others you sign up and they send surveys to your email and you answer them for cash!

Ciao is genuine and does actually pay and the minimum payout is only $5US. They pay by paypal, but I think you can request a cheque too. They send surveys fairly regularly and the best part is they tell you what the survey will be worth before you complete it - most of they are worth $2 or more, which is the best dollar value I have seen.

Ciao has a referral system, but this is the worst part about the website paying only 50cents once off for first level referrals only.

Pros
Genuine
Easy
Low minimum payout of $5
Suyveys are worth more than many other companies

Cons
Referral system could be better
Sometimes when you receive a survey and find you are ineligible

Tips
1. Fill in your profile with your information and you will receive more surveys

My opinion
Ciao is a great survey site, once again you won't get rich, but a bit of pocket money for something that can be fun is probably worth it.

Giftmonkey review

Hi everyone hope you had a great weekend! Today I am going to review a different kind of website, but one that has very good potential.

Giftmonkey review

Overview
Giftmonkey is a website that makes money from people completing offers (free trials and such). Now you are probably thinking that's great and all, but how does that help me! Well for signing up and completing an offer and then referring a few friends to do the same giftmonkey will give you gifts or cash paid into paypal!!

Now before you say SCAM giftmonkey can do this because they get paid by the advertisers to get people to sign up - so they are making money and so can you!

Alright the next thing I bet you are saying - I don't want to complete an offer with my credit card and get charged for it! Well some of the offers are free or dirt cheap (when you think about what you can potentially make back they are worth it - ie. $2 ebook to make 3/4 credit towards a gift or money - definitely worth it)

Some examples of gifts include:
Playstation 3, Xbox 360, laptop, plasma TV, nintendo wii, ipod, mobiles etc. see website for required points

Cash - In US dollars 125 in increasing increments upto $1800

$125 US is only 6 points!! (approx 1 offer and 7 referrals!!)

One of the best parts about this site is you can get your free gift/money and then get more referrals towards another free gift/money!

Now I must tell you if you are a US resident you can choose between gifts or cash, but non US residents can only choose cash, but that is OK with me because I can turn cash into stuff lol.

The following countires are accepted (taken from terms of use):
Accounts may only be created by residents of the following countries: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Denmark, Ecuador, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Uruguay.

Pros
Potentially huge payouts/gifts
You can complete the process over and over for more gifts/cash
Fairly easy

Cons
Referrals are only worth credits if they complete an offer
Have to wait a couple of days for your credits to come through - (not too much of a problem really.)

Tips - Follow these closely to get your credits

1. Sign up and choose your free gift/money on the giftmonkey website

2. Complete an offer - try to complete a free offer or one worth $2 or less (best offers are):

  • Free offer - betzip (some geographical locations excluded, if so complete the next best offer
  • $2 (once off) offer - make money off ebay ebook (you don't actually want the ebook just the credits - and for $2 you can't go wrong)
3. Refer friends, family and others. Although only 1 sign-up per IP or postal address is allowed.

4. Once you have received enough points (credits) request payment or gift to be sent. Make sure you have a paypal account if you have requested cash

5. Repeat from step 2 or 3 for as many times as you like (you can only do each offer once!) for more gifts/money!

My opinion
This site does get me excited because of the huge potential and the fact you can make much more than the few cents I usually make from the other sites I have reviewed. I recommend trying this out, complete a free (or very cheap) offer and see if it works. If it doesn't you have lost nothing (or very little) and if it does you are on your way to some extra cash or free gift. I will keep you updated on my progress!

Marketing Pond

Hi - hope everyone had a great weekend. My floor flooded and I spent the weekend mopping it up, but I am here today to review an interesting opportunity for getting referrals (which I have just learnt to spell lol)

Marketing Pond Review

Overview
This site works by giving your refferal links to everyone that signs up under your name, therefore giving you a good opportunity to sign up more people, which basically means more refferal money.

Now firstly for you that don't spend much time on these kinds of sites I will explain referrals:

Some websites offer you cash or other incentives for signing friends family and others up. You are usually given a unique referral link and your referrals use this to sign up under you and you get rewards. Pretty simple hey?

On marketing pond you sign up, enter your referral links and viola you are basically done. Then everyone you refer to marketing pond and signs up with you sees all your referral links.

Marketing pond also has some great offers to sign up to and it even has a great section that lists scams to stay away from!! I can say that this part of the site is fantastic because the site monitors and tests the offers and if they are not real they are listed as scams and banned.

The referrals on marketing pond are generally to do with paid to read email, paid to click ads and such kinds of offers. It is also a good was to get extra referrals to Agloco.

It is also free to sign up to! Now you, like I, might wonder what the webmasters are getting out of this and I honestly say I don't know, but the offer is very good!

The Marketing pond community is small at the moment, but is growing rapidly and offers a good chance to get in early before people "saturate the market" (spam) with their referral links

Pros
Extra referrals
You can find some more good offers
Lists scams and protects you by checking offers out first!
It's Free!
Pretty easy to use
Your referrals get to see all your links in one place!


Cons
You need referrals for this to work.

Tips

1. Don't forget to enter your referral links after you sign up.

2. You need to get people to sign up with your referral link otherwise this will not work.

My opinion
If you want referrals then this is the site for you. It is a fantastic way to manage your referral links and has some genuine good offers to sign up to. I think the best part about the site though is its free scam section that lists scams to stay away from. I also like the fact that they check out sites to test if they are genuine.

Clix Sense

To thank you for your patience I will be reviewing a different kind of site today.

Clix Sense Review

Overview
Basically clix sense is a company that will pay you to click on advertisements that they deliver you when you sign into their site. You are allowed to close the advertisement down after you view it and you do not have to sign up to any trial offers of anything like that! After viewing an ad you have to wait 30 seconds and you can then click on another ad. Seems simple? Well yes it is really.

The minimum payout on clix sense it $10 and by my results so far I would say you could achieve that in about 3 months, which isn't bad for doing hardly anything!!

Clix sense will not spam your email address and only sends an update a week with your earnings so far.

They also have a decent refferal system where you earn 10% of what your refferals earn.

You can also buy advertisments on clix sense for your own website by using your credits that you have gained by viewing ads.

Pros
Easy - really really easy, so easy you grandma could do it!
$10 minimum payout

Cons
Takes a while to get to $10

Tips - (tip 1 is very important)

1. Make sure you select heaps of interests in your profile because you get more ads to click on each day. You have to do this when you first sign up because you can't change your interests for 3 months!!

2. Make sure you are logging in every day and click on the ads

My Opinion
You wont get rich off this site, but it is fun and it is great one if you are on the Internet regularly. It only takes a few minutes each day anyway so it is definitely worth checking out.

Agloco toolbar update

Hope you are having a great day! I have been on holidays this week so this is just a quick update about Agloco today, but stay tuned for another site review in a couple of days when I finish unpacking!

Agloco is a company I reviewed a month or so ago that will basically pay people to surf the net. Well I have just heard that the Agloco is about to release the toolbar required to use the system to the first members and this probably means that the rest of us should be prepared for it to release to us fairly soon.

If you want more information about what this company does and what you can get out of it you can read out my review of Agloco by following this link My Agloco Review

Nilecash Review

Nilecash Reveiw

Hi guys, its been a while since my last review. So for your patience today I am going to reveiw an up and coming paid to read email site that does really pay.

Overview
Nilecash is a site that pays people to read emails - seems simple, well yes it is. They send advertising emails and you read it and get paid for it. Nilecash is fairly new to the scene, but it has a small community of users who are helpful and a forum for new and current users to talk about what is happening, problems etc.

Nilecash is open to most English speaking people (as long as you are honest apparently), but people from India and Bangladesh have been banned for some reason.

On Nilecash minimum payout is $10 and can be paid be cheque should you wish.

They also have a very good 4 level refferal system where you can reffer your friends, family etc. and earn extra (see rates below):

4 Levels of Referral Commissions:

Level 1 - 25%
Level 2 - 15%
Level 3 - 10%
Level 4 - 5%

EDIT: Nilecash now only has one level of refferals - Sorry for the confusion

Pros
Great forum to help new members and people like me (who have no idea)!
Easy
$10 Minimum Payout
Opportunity to get in on the ground floor

Cons
It's new so it is still developing
You have to read advertisements

Tips
1. Don't give up on this because once it is fully developed it could be the next big thing.

2. Start a free email account - hotmail, yahoo etc. and sign up with that account for Nilecash so your main account isn't overrun with Nilecash emails. Just remember to check junk mail filters for your Nilecash emails!

My opinion
This site has the potential to go anywhere and with only 900 members you have the potential to get in very near the ground floor. As it is free I recommend signing up and giving it a go. To sign up simply click the link to go to the Nilecash Website

Yoursay Review

Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
Today I am going to review a new survey site that I have recently found called yoursay.

Yoursay is another survey site that pays in points and cash. This survey site pays for surveys (online and over the phone), participating in focus groups, shopping and completing free offers. Yoursay is open to residents from all countries.

Participating in focus groups is worth extra rewards and is a bit of extra effort, but you can receive up to $100 for participating according to some people!

As far as I can see 100 points are equal to $1 US.

Yoursay also has a good refferal system where you are rewarded for 5% of what your refferals earn for upto 5 levels. (ie your refferal earn 100 points you get 5)

YOU -> Your refferal (1st level refferal ) -> Their refferal (2nd level refferal) -> etc.

Pros
One of the biggest level refferal systems - 5 levels
US dollars are worth more than Aussie dollars :-) (Although maybe not for much longer)
Focus groups are worth extra cash

Cons
Only works with Internet explorer

Tips

1 Fill in that profile, because you are likely to get the bigger paying focus group stuff by having a completed profile.

2 Don't give up - you only need one focus group to make some good money and that could come at any time!

My opinion
This is a site worth signing up to because it has the promise of more than just paid surveys. Like all the sites I recommend it is free so there is no harm in trying!

(Remember that this site only works in Internet Explorer)

Spider Metrix

This is another review especially for my Aussie readers, but it is open to all English speaking nations

Spider Metrix Review
Spider Metrix is another paid to answer surveys kind of site. For this site doing surveys, writing reviews and undertaking tests earns you spider points, which can be traded for gift shop purchases or cold hard cash. For your calculations 300 spider points = $50 (AUD) which is paid in cheque form. They also advertise that they convert currency for you based on the exchange rate, which is good for international users.

As you complete more surveys and reviews you become a higher (maybe they mean more evolved) spider species and that means more points per rating and other privileges

Spider Metrix also has a very good 4 tiered refferal system, where you get paid when your refferals answer surveys, when there refferals answer surveys etc. etc.


Pros
Points just for signing up
Great 4 tiered refferal system!
Web site reviews - get rewarded for simple web site reviews

Cons
Minimum payout $50
Some people have commented that the frequency of surveys has been reducing lately

Tips

1. You must fill in your profile and complete a test survey - This gives you a greater chance of getting surveys delivered to you as they know what you are interested in etc.

My opinion
This is one I recommended you sign upto, because if it doesn't work it doesn't really matter. I am not really excited about it, but it is worth a go. It certainly has promise so I will keep you informed of how I am going with it.
At the moment Spider Metrix is offering free points just for joining and completing your profile. To join simply click the link to go to the Spider Metrix Website

Survey Savvy

Survey Savvy Review
How was your weekend? Mine was so busy doing my handyman part for my wife I didn't get time to post, but for your patience today I am going to review survey savvy, one of the most talked about survey sites on the Internet.

Overview
Survey Savvy is another survey site where you get paid to read surveys ($3 - $75 max), but it also offers one of the best refferal systems available. When one of your refferlas (maybe friends, family etc.) answers a survey you get paid 2$ (average). And even better when one of your refferals reffers someone else you get paid when they do a survey $1 (average). Did that make sense??
This site is American, but almost anyone from anywhere can sign up.

Now if the best thing about this site is the refferal system then the second best is that those who are unable to complete a survey are entered into the Sweepstakes for a chance to win fifty $10 cash prizes!!

Survey Savvy pays you as soon as you want - in other words there is no minimum payout, which makes this site even better!

Pros
Great 2 tier refferal system
Even if you don't get to do a survey you still get entered into the sweepstakes for doing nothing!
Plenty of good reviews (you actually get paid)
Surveys you complete are worth a relatively high amount
No minimum payout - you can get paid as soon as you earn any money!

Cons
They don't send heaps of surveys (expect about 3 a month)

Tips
1. Remember to fill in your profile after you register -
This gives you a greater chance of getting surveys delivered to you as they know what you are interested in etc.

2. Don't give up - even if you are not getting many surveys you can still win.

My opinion
This is a great survey site and you should put this at the top of the list to sign up to. The refferal system is great, the surveys they do send are worth good money and you can get your money as soon as you want. That is a recipe for a great survey site.

AGLOCO

I thought for my second review I would try and review a product that doesn't exist yet - just to make it hard for myself.

Now before you stop reading listen to what this new company is offering.

Agloco Review

Overview;
Basically Agloco will reward you for browsing the net using their downloadable toolbar or viewbar (It is guaranteed spyware free apparently, which is a big bonus!).
The way it works is simple. If you browse the net using their viewbar for 5 hours per month, they pay you. The best part is that you also get paid for when the people you refer use it, and when their referrals use it (getting it so far?). In this way it is possible to make a fair sum of money.

This is how the company describes it:

" AGLOCO gets paid by companies to reach our Members through our viewbar software. We give (a percentage of it I am sure) that money back to you. "
I did heaps of research on this because it sounded too good to be true and all that but all I found was that Agloco was a reputable company called AllAdvantage that was listed on the stock market until the dot com crash that screwed them up. Now they are coming back with a better business model and are planning on listing on the stock exchange again in the future.

The company will pay in cash and Agloco shares.

Pros;
It's new and you can get in on the ground floor.
It's easy
They also pay when you refer your friends

Cons;
It's not up and running yet (should be up by late March)
The money comes from all those damn internet ads - but I can live with myself :-)


My opinion;
It sounds great in principle and I say go for it - worst case scenario it crashes again and you don't get paid or your shares are worth nothing, best case you are in the ground floor of a revolutionary new Internet service that could go anywhere.

At the moment AGLOCO is a name that people seem to trust. To sign up and join click the link to go to AGLOCO WEBSITE

Emailcash

Ok, so for my first review I though I would stick to an Aussie site because well... I am an Aussie and I believe in national pride and all that.

Emailcash Website

Overview: Emailcash is basically a site that offers rewards, including cash, for participating in sruveys, reading emails and buing stuff online. This is only open to Australian residents over 13 years of age. You earn points for reading emails, taking surveys and shopping online. 100 points is approximately $1, but this is the part of the site that is a little strange, converting your points to cash. They have two systems:

1. Exchange rate system where 100 points can be worth anything from about 80 cents minimum upto about $1.10, but possibly more. You have to buy into the exchange with your points are they are turned into cash after the deadline. The less people that want to exchange the more you will get and vice versa.

2. Fixed Rate exchange - Where you can convert your rewards using the Automatic Exchange Machine. This allows you to buy cash by paying with points or sell cash to get points back (although I can't work out why people would want to do that - email me if you have figured it out).


Pros:
They are a reputable company which does pay up.
Very easy to join.
Large community to help you out.
They actually send you emails and surveys.

Cons:
Only open to Aussie residents.
Minimum payout is $30

Tips:
1. You must fill in your profile - This gives you a greater chance of getting surveys delivered to you as they know what you are interested in etc.

2. Check out free rewards every day as they give you points for clicking on ads and doing mini surveys.

3. Don't give up - the surveys will come soon enough and then you will be right into making some money.

My opinion:
If you are an Aussie and want a little extra for answering a few surveys then go for it. You won't get rich quick, but it's fun and certainly is not a scam.

At the moment Emailcash is offering 100 free points just for joining and completing your profile. To join simply click the link to go to Email Cash Website
