ING Direct

Posted on 8:15 AM by Kasey Baker | 3 comments

I understand this isn’t a personal finance blog, but this is one of the best offers I have found anywhere on the internet. I was a pretty skeptical at first. I thought it was just an introductory offer to lure you in, and then they would kill you with fees. I signed up and put $250 in my account and they added the $25 to my account. It was just that easy. And there were absolutely no fees at all.
But then it got even better. Not only do they have the best interest rate you can find. Like a solid .90 compounded annually I think, but they also have a referral program. You can make an easy $10 every time somebody signs up under your account. (Up to 50 referrals) It works out great because you get a free $10, and your referrals get a free $25. You could get the free $25 and then $500 and then be earning solid interest on that really quickly. And the best part is that there is no risk, no investment, and no fees.
If you would like me to send you a link to get the free $25 offer just leave your email address in a comment below. The comment will not show up, I will just see it and send you the link.

Update on Some of the Sites I use

Posted on 10:30 PM by Kasey Baker | 2 comments

I apologize for not posting to this blog as frequently lately. I will try to step it up, so I can be more of a help to you guys looking to make money online without paying.
Here's one site I am making steady money from, and haven't even thought about for a couple months.

Cashcrate

My monthly earnings won't blow you away, because I'm not completing any offers or surveys. I'm just making a percentage of whet my referrals make. That fact is nice , however, considering just one of my referrals has made $146 this month, and this is only the 19th of the month. That kind of money is almost equivalent to a solid part time job. I am going to start completing more offers and seeing just how much I can make with Cashcrate.
I'll tell you about another site in the next couple days.

Squidoo

Posted on 2:43 PM by Kasey Baker | 6 comments

Squidoo is a great way to make money without much work. I know people who make thousands every month just by writing for Squidoo. I also know people who do it just to advertise a business, website, or blog. It is great advertising that can help you make a little extra money while you're at it. I also know people who use it just because they love to write. They have a mentor program to help you get started, and anybody at their forum would be glad to help you with any questions.
How do you make money? There are 2 ways to make money using Squidoo. The biggest money maker is with sales like Amazon that give you a commission for every sale you make. The other way is with the pretty complicated payout tiers. Nobody really knows all about the ranking system, but if your lens (their word for each page you make) is in the top 2,000 you get around $20.00 for that month, if it is in the top 10,000 you get around $2.50, and around $0.15 if it is in the top 85,000. Like I said it is very complicated, but every month it is worth more and more. They always pay right on time every month. You can make as many lenses you like about anything you want. I have some lenses that are really high ranked to make money that way, and others I use sales to make money like this one.
Squidoo is becoming more and more popular every day. There are well over a half a million people who use Squidoo, and more are joining all the time. Even some of the biggest names in internet marketing use it. It is free to sign up, and it is a great way to make some easy money, if you know anything about writing and the internet you can make a LOT of money with Squidoo

Just make a little easy money

Posted on 1:06 PM by Kasey Baker | 3 comments

There's probably a few people out there who don't really have any internet experience, or don't want to put a lot of work into internet marketing and such, but you still would like to make a few easy bucks a day. Here are some very simple ways to make some extra money online, that don't cost a thing to sign up.
1. Survey sites are getting a very bad reputation these days because most of them are scams, but there are a few that are legit. The best ones I have found are Your Free Surveys, and Palm Research.
2. Sites that pay you to take surveys and complete offers. With these sites you can make money several different ways. Taking surveys, getting referrals (the biggest money maker), and completing offers from various companies. The one I use to make the most money is Cash Crate, but I have also done very well with Treasure Trooper.
3. Paid to click sites are for people who have a lot of time and patience. They pay you to view different sites. They don't pay as much as the other ways, but if you put a little work into it and get some referrals it can be well worth your time. There are hundreds out there, but my favorites are Up Bux and GPTreasure.

PayPal

Posted on 10:19 AM by Kasey Baker | 2 comments

PayPal is the most popular way to transfer money online. You can send money to someone clear across the world instantly. Most things you can buy online accept PayPal. It is free to sign up, and it is extremely quick compared to any other means of money transfer.
PayPal is definitely my preferred way to pay and receive money online. PayPal is so convenient I use it for almost all my transactions online. There really isn’t a reason for me to pay with a credit card any more. I hardly use any sites that don’t accept PayPal.

How to get traffic to your blog

Posted on 7:23 AM by Kasey Baker | 2 comments

There's basically two main ways to get traffic to your blog. Advertising and SEO (Search Engine Optimization) i.e. Google. I will talk about Search engines in a later post, right now I will focus on advertising.
Advertising can be either free or paid. If you go with paid advertising there are many different ways of going about it. My preferred method is PPC (Pay Per Click). This way you only pay for visitors who are already interested in what you have to say. This can get pricey, but it could also be worth it if it means getting followers that will want to come back and read more.
My favorite site to use for advertising is Bidvertiser. They are cheap and all the hite from there are people that are interested. They also have a great referral program. And to top it all off they give you $20 free just for signing up to advertise with them.
Bidvertiser.com

The other way to advertise is with free advertising. Most free advertising is pretty worthless, but I have found some ways that work pretty well.
1. Ad exchange sites. On these sites you can look at someone else's site, and in turn get hits to your site. I have found this to be a waste of time. It does get you a lot of hits, but the viewers are most likely not interested, and they are just waiting for the timer to run down so they can click on another site. If you are interested the best one I have found is trafficg.com.
2. Text link swap sites. These I have found to be a little better, because you only get hits from people that are interested. How it works is you put a link on your website or blog and if anybody clicks on that you get your ad put on someone else's website. You can see an example of at the bottom of this blog. This method of getting traffic works, but only so well.
3. Comment on other blogs and leave a link back to yours. Most people will call this spamming, but if you have an agreeable blogger you can get some easy hits this way. You can also try commenting on sites like IM Report Card. IM Report Card pays you 50 cents for each comment anyway, but I have found that putting a link in my signature has helped bring in a lot of traffic. You probably want to check out IM Report Card. I have made quite a bit of money with it.
4. Tell your friends about your blog. If you post it on Facebook or Twitter most of your friends will feel obligated to check it out. This can get you a lot of hits really fast. You can also email it to anyone you think might be interested.
