Save/Make Money

I have recently been asked how one can save money by using their computer and the answer is very simple:

1. Swagbucks
Swagbucks is a useful search engine that when you use it gives you virtual currency called Swag Bucks. These can then be exchanged for vouchers and products at their store! The even better news is that SwagBucks is funded by sponsorship so there is no catch: Your name is the only detail that you will use! Click the link below to go strait to the sign up page, and remember; for free swagbucks type in the code below as you register!

SwagBucks Code = no longer available due to SB rules...

2. Shopping Online
Shopping online can mean that products are much cheaper. Not only do you get special offers but the products are delivered strait to your door so it cuts out fuel costs too!

3. Discounts
Many online stores (Apple included) have special discounts if you are a student/teacher or OAP. This can mean that you can cut costs much more easily. Just what is needed at the heart of the credit crunch!

4. Solicit Tips
Add a button from microfinance site Tipjoy to your facebook page, blog or Web site to let your fans tip you for entertaining/helping them. Or encourage your Twitter followers to text-message you some coin: Tipjoy tracks payment "tweets" (usually a doller or so) and transfers the money via PayPal.

5. Answer Questions
Become an agent for the KGB - the Knowledge Generation Bureau - at the KGB website. Inquiring minds text questions to 542542 (kgbkgb), which are relayed to agents online. You do some digging, send back a quick, acurate response, and pocket a cool dime every time.

6. Adopt a Blog
Instead of trying to gain a following for a brand-new blog, go to Orble to take over one, like Extreme Critic or VegieOrgasm, that's been abandoned by it's writer. That way you can start with a good google ranking and maybe even a dedicated readership. Orble takes a cut of your AdSense haul for the trouble.

7. Master a Domain
Put your dot-com cleverness to use at PickyDomains, where clients who are launching a Web site for a new buisness pay $50 to garner suggestions for a domain name. If they register your idea, you get half the fee.

8. Be a Critic
Rate and review songs on U.K. Site Slice and your opinions will earn you up to 20 cents from the site's managers for each write up. Alternatively you could write software reviews on SoftwareJudge which shells out at least a buck apiece.

9. Coke Zone
Although I have a natural hatred for cokes disgusting commercialised crap, Coke Zone can help you save money. For those among us who buy coke anyway this is a great place to go. You can save on hundreds of products, from music to boots vouchers, and, shockingly, some of its items are eco friendly!!! Brilliant!
