Swagbucks


I just found Swagbucks a few days ago, and I'm pretty sure that it is not a scam (I'll tell you if I figure out whether or not it is a scam). I am not completely sure because I have only started using Swagbucks a few days ago. Swagbucks is free, and you can make money on the site every day. I have already earned over 100 points, but it takes a few thousand points to get anything good from Swagbucks. You get paid to use their search engine, which has most of the same results as Google. You get paid in 'swagbucks', and you can use your swagbucks to redeem prizes. If you want to make even more swagbucks, you can do some paid offers.

Here are some ways to earn swagbucks:
  1. Use swagbucks to search the web: Instead of using Google, I now almost always use swagbucks. When you use Swagbucks as a search engine, it randomly gives you swagbucks. However, don't just type in gibberish and don't do a lot of random searches in a row because they will give you significantly fewer swagbucks if you do that.
  2. Install the Swagbucks toolbar: You can win swagbucks just for downloading the toolbar, and you get a few swagbucks a day just for having the toolbar.
  3. Invite Friends: The referral program is simple. For every swagbuck that your referral wins searching the web, you win a swagbuck. However, you can only win up to 1,000 swagbucks per referral.
  4. Do the daily pole: If you do the daily pole on the day it becomes available, you earn an extra swagbuck.
  5. Do your shopping at Swagbucks: They probably have what you're looking for, and you earn extra swagbucks if you shop through them.
  6. Do the surveys: You can get over 100 points to complete a survey; however, I have not yet qualified for any surveys.

How to Make a Website Known

How do I make my website known? This is a common question because without viewers, you will not make money on that website. Many people attempt to answer this question, but their advice is usually unhelpful. They usually say something like "If you want to make your website known, submit it to search engines" or "you need to use pay per click advertisements if you want to bring in a lot of traffic". The reason for these bad answers is because they are answering the wrong question. They should not be explaining how to make a website known but rather how to make a website popular.

To make your website truly known, you need to make it impressive so that they will come back to your website and also tell friends about it. I'll make a comparison. In school, there is always that popular kid even though everyone knows each other. That means that you don't need to be known to make yourself popular.

We see repetition every day, but our minds do not usually remember these repetitive patterns. This is because our minds are only trained to note and remember something odd or different. Therefore, in order to make your website impressive, you have to make it different in a good way.

Hits4Pay

Hits4Pay is not a scam, nor is it a get-rich-quick scheme. Hits4Pay pays people to view each email advertisement for a minute for $0.02. You can't make that much money off of it because you only get a few emails per day (0-10 emails per day). One good thing about Hits4Pay is that it gives you $10 to start with. You can cash out once you reach $25.

Hits4Pay has a two-level referral program. You get $0.01 for each email advertisement that your direct referrals view. You also get $0.01 for each email advertisement that your referrals' referrals view.

Moola

Moola.com is a safe website where you can play games to make money. It is not a scam; however, it requires a huge amount of luck to make a lot of money off of it.

How it works:
Moola is a game site where each new member is given $0.01, and you play games. You are put up against another player on moola. If you win the game, you double your money. If you lose the game, you go back to $0.01. That means that if you win 30 times in a row, you get over $10,000,000 ($10,737,418.24 to be exact). You can cash out when you reach the $10 minimum balance. This seems great, but it really is not as good as it seems. First of all, the odds of winning 30 times in a row are less than 1 in 1,000,000,000. Also, you have to win 7 times in a row (the odds of that are 1 in 128) just to get above $1. You need an invitation to sign up for moola, so just click the link for an invite.

How moola makes money:
Moola is advertising supported. You have to watch a video advertisement before every game that you play. You can skip advertisements, but you have to pay moola every time you skip an advertisement. So, moola basically makes money by paying you to watch advertisements. They must make quite a bit of money off of this because technically they only have to pay about $0.005 for every advertisement watched. How I figured this out: two people watch an ad to play a game against each other. The winner takes all of the loser's money. Moola pays the loser a penny to play again. Therefore, moola only has to pay about $0.005 for each ad watched, while they make far more than $0.005 per ad watched from their advertisers.

Moola's Referral System:
Moola has a multi-tier referral program. You get 4% of what your referrals earn. You then get 3% of what their referrals earn and so on until the fourth level.

Judging Whether or Not it is a Scam

Is it a scam? This is one of the most commonly asked questions when one visits a website that offers money. People want to know whether or not they will be scammed before they try out a website. Nobody wants to be scammed or to get a virus.

There are a few ways to find out whether a website is a scam or not. The first and simplest way is to type in google or another search engine, "is ____ a scam" and then to look at a few articles that discuss it. If all of the websites that you look at say that it is not a scam, it is probably not a scam. If two or more of the websites that you look at say that it is a scam, it is probably  scam.

However, the first way is not completely reliable. Sometimes the top few google searches say that a website is not a scam because these people in particular have not had any problems with the website. That website could still be a scam. The second way involves more thought and reasoning. Everybody wants to make money, including the makers of the websites. You have to ask yourself, "How are the people who run the website making money?" If you cannot find an answer, the website is probably a scam. Also, if the website seems too good to be true, it probably is. Very rarely do you find a website where you have to do almost nothing to make a lot of money. You have to put in some work. If a website asks you to complete surveys for a large amount of money, there is over a 99% chance that the website is a scam. Websites such as Cashcrate that pay a little money to complete offers and take surveys are safe.

If you have to give your address when you sign up for a website, you need to make sure that the website is safe.

Create a Blog

One way to make money is by creating a blog. You need to put advertisements on your blog to make some money using Google Adsense. To get readers, the blog has to be good.

Tips on making a good blog:
  1.  Put good content on your blog: You can't just have a blank blog and expect people to read it. You have to make quality posts and build up your blog. Also, you want people to read your blog, and there are two types of things that people will read. The first type of blog you can make is a blog that causes a lot of emotions, whether it is funny or sad. The second type of blog you can make is an informative blog that gives people information that they want to know.
  2. Make your blog stand out: For people to read your blog, you have to make it different from everybody else. You have to make content that people want to read that is unique, and there is one thing that makes your blog unique. YOU! There is no one exactly like you in this world, even if you are a twin. You have to have a blog with your character mixed into it.
  3. Market your blog: When you first create a blog, there are only a few people who know about it: you and and anybody that you tell.  You have to make good content and then tell people about that content. You have to advertise it somehow. You can't just sit around hoping that people will find your blog. However, if you have a new blog, you should probably add some content to it before you start promoting it. You should probably have at least 5 good posts before you start marketing your blog because an empty blog may leave a viewer a bad first impression.

Cashcrate

Cashcrate is not a scam. I've been doing it for a while, and I have had no problem with it yet. It's completely free to sign up. You can request for your payment to be made once you earn $20. Cashcrate has offers that you can complete for money. Cashcrate also has surveys that you can fill out for a little money. Cashcrate is not a way to get rich quick. It is, however, a way to make a little money for completing some offers.

Cashcrate's referral system is great. When you sign up a person, you get 20% of whatever they earn. In addition to these referrals, cashcrate has a two-level referral system. This means that you also get 10% of whatever their referrals earn. Also, you get an additional $3 when your referral makes their first $10. Once you get more referrals, your referral percentage goes up. If you get quite a few referrals, that can turn into a large amount of money.

How the referral system works:
Bronze = 0-49 active referrals - 20% for 1st level referrals, 10% for 2nd level referrals
Silver = 50-149 active referrals - 25% for 1st level referrals, 10% for 2nd level referrals
Gold = 150-299 active referrals - 25% for 1st level referrals, 15% for 2nd level referrals
Platinum = 300-499 active referrals - 30% for 1st level referrals, 15% for 2nd level referrals
Elite = 500+ active referrals - 30% for 1st level referrals, 20% for 2nd level referrals
