Make Money On Surveys

Want to make money on surveys? Many have probably clicked on a link and found that you have to pay money just to get information on making pocket change on marketing surveys. Not here.

You can make money on surveys. Not much, but enough to fill a tank of gas or some coffee money every month or two. With some survery companies, you are even able to get money by referring a friend and having them complete a survey.

The link provided today goes to Opinion Outpost. I have earned just over $200 in two years from that company. Again, not much, but if I am sitting at a computer anyway, it is easy to do one in an additional open tab. Members have the option of getting a check sent to them or getting an Amazon Gift Card for redemption.

Occasionally, companies will also ask you to test products and report back on the use. You may also get to see clips of movies or television shows before they come out for general release. Confidentiality prevents me from naming specific companies, but you can be assured they are major companies you see every day. I have been able to try shampoo, shaving cream, snack foods and body soap before these new products come to market.

Again, you will not make big amounts of money. But, if you want some spending change, check our Opinion Outpost. More survey companies will be reviewed in the coming weeks.

Affiliate Sales

It is possible to make money through affiliate sales. One common way is to get a free website and have advertising and place affiliate links for purchasing items. The banner above is one example. The site is selling websites for you to promote products, and also allows you to promote the website with links you can place on other sites. Your ability to make money will vary, but the key thing to remember is to not sink money blindly into a project. If you don't understand what you are buying, don't send money.

Iacocca Getting Hosed By Chrysler

I haven't been feeling the blog lately, so my apologies for not writing as my main job has kept me really buse. However, I could not pass up the opportunity to comment on how former Chrysler CEO Lee Iacocca is getting royally hosed by Chrysler going into bankruptcy.

Now, I am sure he is not relying on his pension to live out his retirement, but he worked his ass off in the 1980's saving the company from the brink of extinction. Don't feel too bad for him, as he has his millions. His reward for retirement was a free car for life and a nice pension. Not anymore.

Chrysler CEO Robert Nardelli told a U.S. bankruptcy court on Thursday that Iacocca's pension would be among the obligations Chrysler will no longer have to pay if it gets bankruptcy court approval to sell itself to a "New Chrysler" to be owned by its union, the U.S. and Canadian governments and Fiat.

Chrysler said it regretted the action "in light of the many contributions these individuals have made to Chrysler over the years" and that the "New Chrysler" does not expect to reinstate the car program. Umm-hmm, sure you do you jackanapes.

Bottom line folks. Don't trust anyone when it comes to your work. Make sure you are in control of your money, and have multiple streams of income.

Try For A Dream Job In Austrailia

How would you like to be the caretaker of an island in Austrailia. Hit the beach for six months and make $100K. It sounds too good to be true, but this is an actual offer.

Billied as the "Best Job in the World," Australian tourism officials say they are seeking one lucky person to spend six months relaxing on Hamilton Island, part of the country's Whitsunday Islands, while promoting the destination on a blog.

Within 24 hours, more than 200,000 prospective applicants had clicked onto the Web site advertising the gig. The surge to the site caused it to jam, but officials were working to upgrade so people could access it again.

The job is genuine, despite the stunt PR move. Applicants must submit a 60-second video application, and 11 finalists will be flown from their home countries to Hamilton Island in May for the final selection process.

In exchange for the plush salary, accommodations in an oceanfront villa and airfare from the winner's home country, the employee will be required to stroll the island's white sand beaches, snorkel, swim in the pool and post photos and videos of his or her experiences on a weekly blog.

As of late Tuesday, at least 200,000 people logged onto the Web site to check out the listing, Boyle said. Only about 200 video applications had been submitted, but officials said they expect thousands more.

Applications are open until Feb. 22 at www.islandreefjob.com. The job begins on July 1.

Paid Surveys-Get Paid To Sign Up

You probably have seen ads on Google where you are invited to pay a bit of money to learn how to get paid for online surveys. I have said it before, and I will say it again, do not pay for this information. There are plenty of places where you can get information on websites that will pay you per survey.

A new one I have recently discovered is Focusline Surveys. They will pay you $5.00 just to sign up, and another $1.50 to complete your profiles. There is no referral program, so you do not get more money if you recruit others. The payout minium is $25.00 and is paid through PayPal.

As with all survey companies you join, you are not going to qualify for all surveys. You will be asked a series of questions and based on your answers, you will be rejected or asked to continue on with that survey. Some companies will enter you in a sweepstakes of pay a token amount for trying to qualify.

You will not make "thousands" of dollars each month either. However, if you belong to a few different companies, you might be able to make an extra $100-$200 per month without leaving the comfort of your home.

Miner Finds A New Meaning For Shafted

10 hours after settling into a new job in Montana, Sam Gallup was fired from his mining job. Poor Mr. Gallup was let go after one day, and after he was convinced to move 2000 miles from New York after hid previous mining job went belly-up nad he was laid off.

Talk about devastating. Stillwater, which laid off Gallup, mines platinum and palladium at two sites in southern Montana, laid off more than 500 employees this week from a work force of 1,770.

Bottom line: Always have something on the side to provide you with money.
