A Holiday Treat for you!
Hi all,
Sorry to be MIA this past week. My computer hard drive took a vacation from which it did not return, so I'm slowly but surely rebuilding things!
As a gift to my fellow frugal friends, I've compiled a list of some proven ways to earn extra cash via the Internet. I hope you can find something to help give your budget a boost in the new year!
Best of Holiday Wishes to you! Hope you have a safe and wonderous holiday season.
Hugs,
Barb
SURVEYS
A popular way to make money on the Internet is to participate in online surveys. There's a multitude of companies out there who offer incentives from entries into contests to amazon gift certs. For the purposes of this note... we're only interested the money, honey!
Also (I can't stress this enough) never pay a website or company for the chance to participate in a survey! The money should flow towards your pocket, not away from it.
Here's the best of the best out there:
SURVEY SAVVY Pays cash for completing short surveys. They pay out by check and are very prompt.
MY SURVEY Pays points for completing short surveys, but your accumulated points can be turned in for cash payments. They pay out by check and are very prompt.
OPINION OUTPOST Pays cash for completing short surveys. They pay out by check and are very prompt.
AMERICAN CONSUMER OPINION Pays cash for short surveys and product testing. They pay out by check and are very prompt.
If you have a child between the ages of 6 to 19 KIDZEYES is a great survey company where your children will have the chance to earn points (to trade in for cash) and prizes each month.
PSB SURVEYS Pays cash for short surveys. They don't offer as many opportunities as the others, but they pay promptly via PayPal when they do.
Non-Cash Paying Survey Sites, We Still Recommend:
BZZ AGENT Bzz Agent is a product testing company that asks in return for you to "bzz" about the products. You earn points for your "bzz" activities which can then be traded in for prizes. So, no cash here, but some great freebies and the chance to be "in the know" with new products.
GREENFIELD Greenfield has a lot of survey offerings that give you an entry into their monthly contests, but from time to time, they offer cash surveys too- so it's worth checking into.
KEYNOTE Conducts surveys mainly on websites and website usuage. Pays promptly in Amazon dollars (gift certificates to Amazon.com)
WR INSIDERS Another survey website for children and teens. Offers points (that build up quickly) to be exchanged for prizes or gift certificates. Please use referral code P09137051236 when registering (it's my daughter's code.)
Additional or Elusive Sites: Another mentionable is PINECONE, but they only have open calls on occasion- so watch their website! They pay cash for surveys and product testing.
MYSTERY SHOPPING
If you ever go to the grocery store, shop for electronics, eat at a fast food chain or popular restaurant and feel that you know the difference between poor and excellent customer service... then Mystery Shopping might be a great way for you to earn some extra cash.
The very first and most important rule of thumb you need to know: Mystery Shopping Companies do not charge you to be a Mystery Shopper!
This is the easiest way to spot a scam. If a company wants your money in order to get assignments (meaning you are going to be employed by them) run, run, run as far away from their website as possible!!
You'll find a long list of legit Mystery Shopping Companies here : MOMdotCOM.net Mystery Shopping List
Mystery Shopping won't make you rich, but you could pull in a decent part-time income if you work for several companies, plus, if you take on restaurant gigs, you'll get plenty of free meals!
PAY PER CLICK
There are a ton of pay to click website out there with new ones cropping up everyday. I did my best to weed through them and pick out the cream of the crop, with the best reputations.
MYPOINTS Probably the most well known and biggest of the pay to click websites, MYPOINTS offers points for completing offers, reading emails, completing surveys, shopping, and other activities. The points accumulate quickly (depending upon your habits) and can be redeemed for Gift Certificates (and occasionally other offers.)
MORATRAFFIC Pays out cash and points for just about everything you can think of!: Completing offers, chatting, reading emails, surveys, clicks, referrals, playing games, and more. In addition they have an excellent payout level minimum of $5 (this is harder to find and the mark of a company interested in its users- most of the click to pay have a threshold of $25 and upwards before you will receive a payment.) Points can be redeemed for prizes.
CASH CRATE Another quality program with a great rep and an excellent payout level of $10. They pay for completion of offers, surveys, shopping, and more! They also have point offers that can be redeemed for prizes in the prize shop.
SEND EARNINGS Offers cash for a wide variety of things including reading emails, surveys, playing games, shopping, completing offers, and much more. They have a higher payout threshhold of a $30 minimum, but they made our list because they offer a $5 signup bonus and the offers all pay very well, so the $30 payout is not hard to obtain. Plus they have an excellent reputation amongst users.
And of course, GATHER which offers points for posting articles, pictures, and chatting with other members which can be traded in for gift certificates and other prizes.
CALL CENTER REPRESENTATIVE
Do you enjoy helping others? Do you have a gift for gab? Do you have pockets of quiet time available to talk on the phone?
Then, you may want to consider employment with a call center service. This growing field of opportunity for the at-home worker typically involves answering in-coming calls ranging from taking customer product orders to coordinating maintenance repair services.
Many companies will allow you to work as little as fifteen minutes a day to full-time hours each week.
You'll find a complete list of legit companies along with pay information for this job here:WORK AT HOME JOB FACTS: CALL CENTER REPRESENTATIVES
OTHER IDEAS
These opportunities may not fit "neatly" in the other categories listed, but they are ones you should check out, if they suit your interests.
CAFEPRESS If you own a website, blog, have a great idea for a t-shirt, or would like to promote your graphic designs or art, Cafe Press might be the place for you. Your profit can vary from a few dollars to full time wage depending on your pricing and the popularity of your products. (They are also a good site to consider using for school fund-raisers or family reunions!)
If you'd like to get an idea of products and how you might tie in to your website, we own a shop called The Write Shop which offers a few unique writers' gifts. It was created to give readers of The Frugal Writer a place to find fun items suitable for gift giving. (All prices were kept low to accomodate starving artists, so the profits are on the low end too, but this particular shop wasn't set up to be a money-generator. In any case, it will give you a good idea of how a basic shop operates. )
ASSOCIATED CONTENT Do you like to write? Do you know how to construct a good article? Or do you think you'd be good at reviewing travel locations, products, or sharing how-to information? Associated Content might be a very rewarding place for you to work on line, then.
AC pays for quality content/articles (starting pay average of $5 - $7 per article) and offers a continued performance bonus.
Check out these articles for examples of content (and for some interesting info too!)
Use Your Math Skills to Write a Book In A Year
Are Internet Freebies Taking Over Your Home?
Articles from A to Z (reviews/how- to/frugal living/etc.)
If you have websites or ideas to add, please send them to me and I'll feature them in the next blog. The more we share, the better opportunities for everyone!
Happy Holidays!!

NOTE FROM BARB
Sorry to miss the Monday Freebies & Fun, but I was hard at work on something I think you will get a greater benefit from (I hope!)
Readers of the Moms Guide and Blog Readers write in regularly requesting links for on-line earning opportunities I’ve written about or updated, and some have requested a dedicated page for this information rather than the daily blog…
Well, your wish is granted! I’m happy to unveil the newest addition to the MOMdotCOM.net addition:
The all new AVOID SCAMS & EARN MONEY! webpage… designed just for you!
It’s going to take a little time to gather it all together, but I’ve got a good start and will continue to add and update regularly for your continued reference and use.
And if you forget to bookmark the page, you’ll always find the link on the MOMdotCOM.net sidebar :)
Please feel free to share the website with friends and family, or anyone else you think might benefit. My goal is and remains to empower moms (and others) with the knowledge to succeed!
Also, I’ll soon be adding a newsletter option for those of you who have asked to have a reminder to check the blog… I’ll be doing you one better though, and sending the blog directly to your inbox each day!

TOPICS OF INTEREST
We are going to deviate a little from the traditional format to bring you a wealth of information in the highlights from a chat I hosted on Gather.com last night.
(Do you Gather? If not, email me at barbwebbauthor@yahoo.com and I’ll invite you! Gather is a fab community with a lot of conversation and fun benefits.)
I hope you enjoy and benefit from the following information:
SURVEYS: Some survey companies can be a waste of time for sure. Two of the higher paying ones are Survey Savvy
and Consumer Opinion
If you haven't joined them, I suggest you do. You'll find their surveys a bit easier, shorter, and they both pay out quickly. If you do well with Consumer Opinion too, they have some "elite" groups you may receive an invite too and you might be invited to participate in a focus group too, where the pay is much higher.
Another good one is Pinecone http://www2.pineconeresearch.com/faq.asp
- they have a quick payout (typically in the $3 to $5 range) for every survey and they are super easy, often fun, to complete. However, they only accept applications at variant times when they need more survey participants... so keep an eye out for invites if you aren't already a member.
FOCUS GROUPS: Speaking of focus groups, if you haven't checked into your local opportunities, you may be missing out on $75 to $150 a pop (usually 2 to 4 hours of your time,) or more if you qualify for any studies. You'll find a decent list of these on Volition http://www.volition.com/focusgroups.html
FREE STUFF: Free stuff is awesome and there are so many opportunities to find it on the web. Be sure to check my daily blogs at MOMdotCOM http://www.momdotcom.net/ and Living With Zero Debt http://www.livingwithzerodebt.blogspot.com/ where you'll find the best of what I find each day!
Other good websites to check are Fat Wallet http://fatwallet.com/ and My Coupons http://www.mycoupons.com/
GROCERY SHOPPING: A great place, if you don't visit there already, for finding out about loss leaders and what coupons to use where is Hot Coupons http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/ You'll find every grocery store and then some, with a wealth of info from all around the nation (and international too.)
MYSTERY SHOPPING: You said no to mystery shopping... is it just not suitable to your lifestyle or do you think you won't be able to complete the assignments?
I ask because it's one of my favorite ways to maximize my money making and saving opportunities. To get an idea, check http://livingwithzerodebt.blogspot.com/2007/09/how-i-made-money-on-my-last-shopping.html where you'll see how I made money on my last grocery outing.
I also love the free meals we get- can't beat 'em as eating out is something we don't do often. If you change your mind, you'll find a good list of mystery shopping companies here: http://momdotcom.blogspot.com/2007/01/lengthy-list-of-mystery-shopping.html
BOOKS: If you have any books sitting around, consider all these options to pocket a few dollars... Turn Your Old Books Into New Cash http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/118336/turn_your_old_books_into_new_cash.html
CALL CENTER WAHM: If you are interested in a stay-at-home job, consider working for a call center- they are generally order taking jobs and you can set your own hours. Pay ranges from $7-$10 per hour. With incentive programs, $11-$20, and upwards, may be possible. A part-time agent may earn $5,000 to $20,000 per year, while full time agents are reported to be in the $25,000 to $40,000 per year range.
More info here: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/96111/work_at_home_job_facts_call_center.html
SAVING ON PRESCRIPTIONS: I'm not a guru on insurance benefits as each state has such variant plans and resources available, but I did do a piece on saving on Prescription costs if that's a concern for you: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/145805/eight_ways_to_save_on_prescription.htm
HEALTH STUDIES There are a ton of health studies out there on all types of conditions and illnesses... not the same as having insurance, but they do provide you with physicals and health care throughout the studies. Something you might want to check into?
I know a lot of freebie people who have participated in these for the money (they generally pay well for participation.) Anyway, just a thought. Here's some links in case you are interested: http://www.ppdi.com/study_volunteers/ and http://www.centerwatch.com/ You never know where you might find help :)
EBAY TIPS: Deal Finder http://dealfinder.ebay.com/dlf/home is kind of a cool site, but they don't have coupons, just helps you search for deals. Not finding any current offers or coupons for Ebay right now, but My Points has a points deal right now.
FRUGAL BIRTHDAY PARTY PLANNING: The Dollar Stretcher is one of my fav sites, if you ignore the ads, I found these articles for you there http://www.stretcher.com/stories/07/07jun18h.cfm and http://www.stretcher.com/stories/04/04jul26g.cfm
Also check out ideas on Frugal Moms including a lengthy list of frugal games http://www.frugalmom.net/party_games.htm
And two information highlights that aren’t as easily classified:
QUESTION: Is it better to sign up and use as many GPT sites as you can per day, or pick a small handful of well renowned ones, which are proven payers, and put all your efforts into those?
ANSWER: Yes, yes, YES! Pick the proven players and stick with them. It's not a bad idea to diversify your efforts by participating with multiple proven players, but avoid the ones that drain your time for little pay in return. It's sort of like, would you rather make 5 cents an hour or $5? The opportunities may be a little slimmer on some of the tried and trues as they have more people participating, but the pay off is well worth your patience and time.
QUESTION: Several Mystery Shopping websites want money to join them, should I pay?
ANSWER: If there is one point I can't stress enough for you and anyone who reads this... Never, ever, pay a company to be employed by them. No quality company will ever ask for an upfront fee- that's a HUGE red flag there.
I hope you enjoyed these highlights and hope you can use some of the tips and links!
If you are already a Gather member, you’ll find the entire chat on the Girls Night Out Group.
Hugs,
Barb

SURVEYS: Some survey companies can be a waste of time for sure. Two of the higher paying ones are Survey Savvy
and Consumer Opinion
If you haven't joined them, I suggest you do. You'll find their surveys a bit easier, shorter, and they both pay out quickly. If you do well with Consumer Opinion too, they have some "elite" groups you may receive an invite too and you might be invited to participate in a focus group too, where the pay is much higher.
Another good one is Pinecone http://www2.pineconeresearch.com/faq.asp
- they have a quick payout (typically in the $3 to $5 range) for every survey and they are super easy, often fun, to complete. However, they only accept applications at variant times when they need more survey participants... so keep an eye out for invites if you aren't already a member.
FOCUS GROUPS: Speaking of focus groups, if you haven't checked into your local opportunities, you may be missing out on $75 to $150 a pop (usually 2 to 4 hours of your time,) or more if you qualify for any studies. You'll find a decent list of these on Volition http://www.volition.com/focusgroups.html
FREE STUFF: Free stuff is awesome and there are so many opportunities to find it on the web. Be sure to check my daily blogs at MOMdotCOM http://www.momdotcom.net/ and Living With Zero Debt http://www.livingwithzerodebt.blogspot.com/ where you'll find the best of what I find each day!
Other good websites to check are Fat Wallet http://fatwallet.com/ and My Coupons http://www.mycoupons.com/
GROCERY SHOPPING: A great place, if you don't visit there already, for finding out about loss leaders and what coupons to use where is Hot Coupons http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/ You'll find every grocery store and then some, with a wealth of info from all around the nation (and international too.)
MYSTERY SHOPPING: You said no to mystery shopping... is it just not suitable to your lifestyle or do you think you won't be able to complete the assignments?
I ask because it's one of my favorite ways to maximize my money making and saving opportunities. To get an idea, check http://livingwithzerodebt.blogspot.com/2007/09/how-i-made-money-on-my-last-shopping.html where you'll see how I made money on my last grocery outing.
I also love the free meals we get- can't beat 'em as eating out is something we don't do often. If you change your mind, you'll find a good list of mystery shopping companies here: http://momdotcom.blogspot.com/2007/01/lengthy-list-of-mystery-shopping.html
BOOKS: If you have any books sitting around, consider all these options to pocket a few dollars... Turn Your Old Books Into New Cash http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/118336/turn_your_old_books_into_new_cash.html
CALL CENTER WAHM: If you are interested in a stay-at-home job, consider working for a call center- they are generally order taking jobs and you can set your own hours. Pay ranges from $7-$10 per hour. With incentive programs, $11-$20, and upwards, may be possible. A part-time agent may earn $5,000 to $20,000 per year, while full time agents are reported to be in the $25,000 to $40,000 per year range.
More info here: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/96111/work_at_home_job_facts_call_center.html
SAVING ON PRESCRIPTIONS: I'm not a guru on insurance benefits as each state has such variant plans and resources available, but I did do a piece on saving on Prescription costs if that's a concern for you: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/145805/eight_ways_to_save_on_prescription.htm
HEALTH STUDIES There are a ton of health studies out there on all types of conditions and illnesses... not the same as having insurance, but they do provide you with physicals and health care throughout the studies. Something you might want to check into?
I know a lot of freebie people who have participated in these for the money (they generally pay well for participation.) Anyway, just a thought. Here's some links in case you are interested: http://www.ppdi.com/study_volunteers/ and http://www.centerwatch.com/ You never know where you might find help :)
EBAY TIPS: Deal Finder http://dealfinder.ebay.com/dlf/home is kind of a cool site, but they don't have coupons, just helps you search for deals. Not finding any current offers or coupons for Ebay right now, but My Points has a points deal right now.
FRUGAL BIRTHDAY PARTY PLANNING: The Dollar Stretcher is one of my fav sites, if you ignore the ads, I found these articles for you there http://www.stretcher.com/stories/07/07jun18h.cfm and http://www.stretcher.com/stories/04/04jul26g.cfm
Also check out ideas on Frugal Moms including a lengthy list of frugal games http://www.frugalmom.net/party_games.htm
And two information highlights that aren’t as easily classified:
QUESTION: Is it better to sign up and use as many GPT sites as you can per day, or pick a small handful of well renowned ones, which are proven payers, and put all your efforts into those?
ANSWER: Yes, yes, YES! Pick the proven players and stick with them. It's not a bad idea to diversify your efforts by participating with multiple proven players, but avoid the ones that drain your time for little pay in return. It's sort of like, would you rather make 5 cents an hour or $5? The opportunities may be a little slimmer on some of the tried and trues as they have more people participating, but the pay off is well worth your patience and time.
QUESTION: Several Mystery Shopping websites want money to join them, should I pay?
ANSWER: If there is one point I can't stress enough for you and anyone who reads this... Never, ever, pay a company to be employed by them. No quality company will ever ask for an upfront fee- that's a HUGE red flag there.
I hope you enjoyed these highlights and hope you can use some of the tips and links!
If you are already a Gather member, you’ll find the entire chat on the Girls Night Out Group.
Hugs,
