A Little Bit About Irazoo

Another $5 AGC from Irazoo posted today. Irazoo is just so easy. If you're not doing it, you're missing out. If all you want to do is the bare minimum, you can get 10 points per day in games (all you have to do is open the window and wait for it to credit-1pt/game), 5 points for going checking out the offer walls and a minimum of 10 points for each search. I can generally get a search win every 1 1/2-2 hours. If you search just 6 times, that's 60 points. And there are Treasure Codes worth at least 10 points about every week. All of that will take you less than ten minutes a day. I do all the dailies (games, offer wall, at least three searches/day, and the treasure codes), I get a few points a day from referrals, I try a few surveys, and I do a few offers from the offer wall and I manage about $5/week. 

A little bit about the offers. Irazoo generally pays better than Swagbucks on offers. The conversion rate is  6pts=$0.01. It seems low, but if you look at how much AGCs cost at SB and compare them to Irazoo and you look at how much they each pay for things, you'll see that Irazoo is the better deal. The first wall (or tab) I check is Matomy. The only thing I do there is videos. There aren't always videos, but if they're there you can get some easy points that way. Just play them and go do something else for a couple of minutes. After that, I check Trial Pay. I generally only use Trial Pay for special offers I'm willing to pay for (great for gifts) as they generally pay the most and are the most reliable. But they also have Lab42, a survey group that has quick surveys for a fair amount. At Irazoo, they're worth 300 points. That's a dollar. They don't always have surveys and if they do, I don't always qualify, but I check throughout the day. Then, I head over to Radium One. They're reliable (I rarely have to submit a ticket) and they have a good amount of easy offers from which to choose. Some videos, some sample/coupon offers (submit your information and a new email every time), maybe a Facebook application. Just read the description under the title and see if it's something you want to do. The more instructions, the less likely is to credit. [As a sidenote, Hushmail is the application I use for a new email address. It's easy to sign up and easy to log in. If you don't sign in for two weeks, it self-destructs. Perfect for offers that require email confirmation.] Gambit is a good place to look for more videos. Then, I head over to Peanut Labs and see if they have any surveys. They're generally pretty easy, pay well, and will DQ you pretty quickly if you don't fit the qualifications. Lastly, I check Sponsor Pay and Super Rewards-only for high-paying offers because they often don't credit for me.

Best part about Irazoo is the fact that all the cards are exactly the same amount. $5 AGC=3000pts, $10 AGC=6000pts, etc. If you want to give Irazoo a try, click HERE. And feel free to ask me any questions you may have.

Tax Day is Coming!

Well, if today wasn't Sunday it would be tax day. And as such, I've always celebrate 4/15 as tax day or as I like to call it, Fair Tax Day. It's a day when I try to share with people the wonderful idea that is the Fair Tax. If you're not an American, feel free to skip to the next paragraph as this will not interest you. The Fair Tax is an amazing idea, especially for those of us who enjoy reusing as much as possible-such as hand-me-downs, shopping at Goodwill and yard sales, and borrowing. My family barely ever buys anything new (except food, but a lot of that comes from a garden). With the Fair Tax, you don't pay taxes on your income. Instead you pay taxes on 'new goods'. You wouldn't pay federal taxes on items purchased used. How great is that!?! Hate it that thugs don't pay taxes on stolen money or drug money and are driving around in Hummers? Upset that welfare recipients are purchasing expensive televisions? With the Fair Tax, they would be taxed on those new goods. Click HERE for more information.

And now for an update on my little ones. Patrick is rolling over from his belly to his back like a champ now. And today he sat upright by himself for a prolonged amount of time. We even manage to get a video. Here's a picture of him sitting up all by himself.

I can't believe he's gotten so big. He's three months old already. Austin has been working with Heather on his math lately and is improving. This Saturday is the Dan River Autism Awareness 5k. Austin is really pumped about it. What kid wouldn't be excited to have a 5k team named after him? Go Team Austin! He doesn't know it yet, but I even ordered Team Austin buttons for myself, Jonny, Austin, Tammy, Heather, and whoever else ends up on Team Austin. 

And moving on to GPT sites. I'm testing out quite a few new sites right now. Some I like, some are mediocre. There aren't any I hate right now, so that's a plus. Social Moms is quite lucrative. I managed to earn $20 last month and all you have to do is comment on a few articles, tweet a few articles, and complete the activities in a couple of emails. It couldn't be much easier. And my account doesn't even work correctly! More than half of my points are going to another account and I haven't managed to get them merged yet. Customer service leaves much to be desired, however. I've been in contact with them about the issue for about a month now and, well, basically nothing happens. But I'm still making an easy $20 so it's obviously not too big an issue. I've been playing Booty Slots in my spare time. It's a Facebook application where you can earn real money, playing with fake money. I have $8.96 right now and I've been playing for a few weeks now. You have to have $25 to cash out. Obviously I'm not going to get rich without putting real money into it, but I'm patient and it only takes a few minutes a day. Also, I've been playing aroound on 4Loot. You get paid in Facebook credits on this site. I've already earned enough basically doing the easy contests (although there are videos, surveys, and search wins) on their Facebook page for 2 FB credits. I'll be using those to earn more Doubloons on Booty Slots so I can earn real money. I'm also testing out Zoombucks. I don't like it as much as Swagbucks, Irazoo, Jingit, InstaGC, Calyp, and Social Moms so I don't use it as much. $10 Amazon gift cards start at 1000zb so at 206zb I still have quite a way to go, but I also don't play on it much. And finally ChaCha. ChaCha is similar Calyp in that you get paid to post ads. However, while you only get paid to post at Calyp, with ChaCha you only get paid for clicks. So that means I only earn pennies per day. And you cash out at $25. We'll see how well this works, I guess.

New Sites to Recommend

Irazoo
I finally earned enough irazoo points to cash out for a $5 Amazon gift card. It isn't much, but every little thing counts. And I don't use irazoo so much that I feel like I've wasted my time. You can win points with the search function up to 10 times a day. Yesterday, I won 240 points with 7 searches. You can get 1 point for each game you play, up to 10 points. You get 5 points just for opening up the offer page, which really just requires clicking a link. While you're there, check out Gambit for videos (usually worth between 2-7 points each). There may occasionally be some decent offers on the other walls as well, but for the most part I only do offers on one pay-site. It can get confusing otherwise. There is also a code (easily located on their facebook wall) issued every few days. The last code was worth 16 points. If you max out the dailies (search wins, games, offer page) every day, you could easily cash out for a $5 AGC at least once a month. I cashed out 3000 points for a $5 AGC yesterday morning and I'm already back up to 400 points. If you're looking for a new site just to tinker around on, I can definitely recommend irazoo.

Calyp
Calyp is a different type of earning potential. It's a pay-per-click network. You must have some sort of social network account in order to use this. Here's the basic idea: you endorse a product (ie. Lifesavers candy), you post a link to your Facebook, Twitter, blog, or LinkedIn, you get paid for 1-posting the link, 2-people clicking on the link, 3-people clicking through to an external site. I've been using the site since January 1 and I'm already up to $15. They issue a debit card at $30 so I'm halfway there already. I definitely like the potential of this site.

**Note:
Even if you're not a referral, if you every have any questions about a site, or you have one you want me to try, let me know. I'm always here to help. I won't be around as much, at least at first, once the little bundle of joy arrives (any day now), but if you leave a comment or email me, I'll try to get back to you as quickly as possible. I love all the money I've been able to earn on the different sites and I like to share my enthusiasm. I obviously appreciate referrals, but that's not what this is about.

Payouts for December

I've cashed in, and received $75 in Amazon gift cards for the month of December from Swagbucks. I have enough swagbucks remaining in my account to cash out for five $5 Amazon gift cards at the beginning of January and I have about 20% toward a $50 Amazon gift card. Here's a screenshot of my balance from my cash outs from the past month:

I have $29.00 on my Jingit card, which means I transferred $18.80 in December. Not bad for a few minutes a day of watching commercials while I watch television. Here's a screenshot of my balance (I cash out at the end of the week): 

These are still the only two sites from which I've received payouts so far. And as such, these are still the only two sites I will actively recommend. They are highly recommended from me. I've been very happy with both of these. Neither will be enough to allow you to quit your full-time job, however, it's a great way to earn a few extra bucks on your own time. My husband really only uses Swagbucks to search and he cashed out for a $5 Amazon gift card this month-just for doing something he was going to do anyway. 


Swagbucks: $75 cashed out to Amazon.com
Jingit: $18.80 balance (will cash out at the end of the week)


Superpoints: 816 points (2500 needed to cash out)
SendEarnings: $10.01 ($30 needed to cash out)
iRazoo: 1997 points (3000 points needed to cash out)
Points2Shop: 418 points (cashing out at 2000 points) <--obviously I didn't do much here this month
Opinion Outpost: 20 points (100 points needed to cash out) <--obviously I didn't do much here this month

Payouts for November

I've cashed in, and received, $125 in Amazon gift cards for the month of November from Swagbucks. I have enough swagbucks remaining in my account to cash out for five $5 Amazon gift cards at the beginning of December. Here's a screenshot of my balance from my cash outs from the past month:

My final November balance for Jingit is $10.20. That's really only for about a hour's worth of watching commercials while I watch television. Here's a screenshot of my balance (I cash out once a week after I max out):

These are the only two I have gotten payouts from so far. I have 685 superpoints; 3200 points are needed to cash out at 'basic' level. SendEarnings requires $30 to cash out; my balance is $8.25. iRazoo requires 3000 points to cash out; I have 288 points. I have 418 points at Points2Shop; I am cashing out at 1000 points (they do have prizes at lower levels). I have 20 points on Opinion Outpost; 100 points are needed to cash out. 

Swagbucks: $125 cashed out to Amazon.com

Jingit: $10.20 balance (will cash out after maxing out for the week)

Superpoints: 685 points from clicking a button 30 times/day (3200 needed to cash out)

SendEarnings: $8.25 ($30 needed to cash out)

iRazoo: 288 points from treasure codes and occasionally searching (3000 points needed to cash out)

Points2Shop: 418 points (cashing out at 1000 points)

Opinion Outpost: 20 points (100 points needed to cash out)

I will update at the end of the day or tomorrow if the points level changes.

Extra cash for a few minutes of time a day

Want to earn a little extra cash for very little work? Try a new site called Jingit. All you need is a Facebook account. In the past two weeks, I've applied for my card, earned $10, received and loaded my card. It's legitimate. I wouldn't recommend something without being confident in the product/service. It's possibly the easiest $10 I've ever made. Since it loads automatically, you still have time to earn some extra cash for Christmas! Contact me if you're interested in learning more!

Earning a few extra bucks

I've been on strict bed rest since August 12th. Three months down, six weeks to go. I have a lot of extra time and I've had trouble finding activities that interest me. I've recently found an amazing site for those of us on bed rest or with a lot of extra time on our hands. Swagbucks is a site that pays you for doing things you're probably already doing-searching the internet, playing games, shopping, and playing around on Facebook. I'm not the type of person to suggest something unless I've tried it out or I use it myself. I've been active on Swagbucks since November 3rd and I've already cashed in enough swagbucks (their point system) for $25 in Amazon gift cards. I should have enough swagbucks for a $50 Amazon gift card in the next week or two. And, if I continue at the same rate of activity, I should have earned at least $100 in Amazon gift cards in time to shop for Christmas. I know that doesn't seem like a lot to those of you with jobs, but keep in mind I'm unable to work and this isn't a full-time job. I use swagbucks while I'm watching television or using the internet.

Here is my referral link. It will open in a new window. If you sign up by November 17th, use the promo code "SBPAYSFORME" and Swagbucks will credit your account 80 swagbucks on top of the standard 30 swagbucks. That's 110 swagbucks just for trying it out! A $5 Amazon gift card is only 450 swagbucks. I'm always around and I'm happy to help new members, even if I didn't refer you. Send me a message if you have any questions. And check out these pages on Facebook for extra tips and help: Swagbucks and Swagbucks Offers That Pay.

Happy Swagging!
