Extra Cash in your pocket

Like everyone else I know we all want to make a little extra money. Also like a lot of folks I know I don't really have the time and drive to go out and get a second job (or would that be a third job after being a mom (1) and Computer Programmer (2)?)
so I trolled through the Internet to see if there were any "work at home" jobs that seemed legitimate. I found plenty of "get rich quick" sites and schemes, but no real paying jobs.

However, I have found a few sites that pay you to read e-mail or try products that actually DO pay you real money or enough points to really get an item of value in a reasonable time frame. Below I've listed the links to the places that I recommend. Give them a try, you have nothing to lose and might be able to earn a few gifts / cash.

My Favorite site at the moment for "earning" points at is called Swagbucks. You use it as your default search engine. As you search you'll earn a swagbuck. You won't get one for each search but on aveage I get at least one out for completing five searches. Plus they have some fun games to play and earn swagbucks. You get great results as the search returns finds from google and ask.com so I figured if I'm searching for stuff anyhow, I might as well get prizes for it !!

So far I've won 48 swagbucks which is enough for a 5.00 gift certificate at Amazon.com. I'm going to save mine up towards Christmas gifts this coming year. 5.00 GC are great for a teens stocking stuffer !

SendMail -This one pays out each time you get to 30.00 in the "bank". I figure I'll get there once a year by just viewing e-mails. You build your balance quicker by joining different sites that they show you.

Inbox - Is a sister site of SendMail with the same setup. I enjoy them both and have had great luck with them.

As I find others I'll come back and post them with my thoughts !

  1. Hey, you're not finding that these places have malware, or result in you receiving a boatload of spam?

  2. Nope, NO spam at at all. That is why I felt safe in recommending them. I'm checking out a few others as well, but have not had enough time to see if I can really get the prizes / cash they offer. I'll get back to you once I figure that out. So for now, I really like the three I've mentioned above.
