no website of the week

i've been addicted to ebay lately, so that's the only site i've been on, and everyone knows about ebay!

all i've been posting is websites of the week... and i'm sorry! a new article should be up this week about major household appliances. look forward to it! :-)

have a great week everyone. and remember, it's never too late to start budgeting!!

website of the week: Hits4pay.com!

well, it seems all i have had time to update with is websites of the week. :'( i know how sad you must be!

i recently came across Hits4pay.com from an online forum i visited. many people claimed it worked, so i decided to try it out myself. it's not that i don't want or have a job, i have a part-time one that takes up the majority of my time when i'm not in classes, but i need some extra cash to make my monthly payments for school.

it's free to sign up, which i like, and you get a $10 bonus for signing up. reading the commercial emails they send you earns you a certain amount of cash, only like $0.02 or something. the real money is in the referrals you get to sign up for the program. you also get to choose the types of emails you receive, so it's only stuff you're interested in.

there's a limit of one account per household, and a strict no spam policy. i'll update you guys on how i do within a few months. :-)

if you want to help me out and join my referral team, sign up with this link!

website of the week: Triond

looking to make a little money on the side? consider writing articles for Triond.com! they pay you monthly royalties depending on how much exposure and popularity your article receives on one of their participating blogs.

it's totally free to sign up and write articles, but in order for them to approve your article, it must meet basic writing and styling guidelines.

publish a few highly visited articles and you could get some nice side income!

also, if you're a writer like myself especially, you should read the user agreement in full. it has some very important publishing and content rights information.

in case you don't want to read the whole thing, here are some sections i think should be noted:

website of the week: Blingo!
