More ways to make money online

This is a favorite on the internet among people who enjoy doing tiny things every day just to make some money. You get paid in gift cards (Mainly Amazon, but can also get pay outs for Wal Mart, Through Paypal for cash, Itunes, BestBuy, etc.) and its real! I myself Earned $5 in a couple of days and now after 2 weeks Ive earned $10 in gift cards.. I have yet to cash out yet. You earn as much as you do, some people make 100 Swagbucks a day, and some make 5. 450SB can be redeemed for $5 in Amazon gift cards for example.
There are a LOT of ways to earn Swagbucks - Some include:

• Filling out surveys
• Using their search engine (Which is powered by both Bing and Google, so its prtty good.)
• Completing offers - often for free samples and free stuff, soits really a win win.
• Playing games
• Taking their daily poll
• Bonus SB rewards, like just finding a code on the site and entering it in the code spot.
• Sweepstakes (bet SB to win more)
• Watching short videos - which include cooking, gardening, movie previews and sometimes news. They are actually really awesome videos. Some center around Hollywood, and some center around being a mother!
• Referring friends can get you %10 of everything they make for life! (which reminds me, if you wanna try it out do me a favor and do it by going here: swagbucks.com/refer/modlovecat

All in All its worth it! And actually kinda fun. Ive looked ALL over the internet and there are people that just save up points and SB pays for all of their Christmas, or people that just use it for bills.. whatever you choose to do, you're missing out on something if you aren't Swagging!

I have to say right out of the gate that I absolutely love Jingit. I've been a member for 9 months now and have earned a LOT of actual money by essentially doing nothing. I go to their website, I watch a commercial or 2 - bam, 50 cents. I downloaded the app, which has sponsors like Target or Safeway or Wal Mart and when you go to those stores you earn even more money! This can be done by either scanning products that it lists OR buying featured products. Sometimes I buy sausage for 3.00 a pack and Jingit instantly gives me 1.75 back. i was gonna buy it anyway! Same with toilet paper. I got some toilet paper I was gonna buy any way and they gave me 5.00 right away!

The other day the MOST AMAZING THING HAPPENED. I bought that sausage I always buy, but it was apparently part of some bonus blitz thing. I bought $3.00 sausage and they gave me my 1.75 back, then when I went to the website they asked me to fill out a survey about the sausage - which was literally one question: "Did you plan on buying this product ahead of time or did you make a special trip for it?" They gave me 10.00 for checking a little box. I was so excited I told every one about it!

Now at the start you have a limit of $10.00 a week. This can be increased by referring people. My limit after 2 or 3 referrals is 20.25 - which honestly I don't think I can go much higher than. There isn't THAT many videos to watch and the amount you can earn is based on how many clients or sponsors they have.

They USED to give you an actual debit card and you could just spend the money one whatever you wanted, wherever, but about a month ago they changed it =( Now they give out giftcards, which isnt awful, but I sure loved it being the ONLY thing I could find that gave me actual money directly into my pocket without waiting!

I LOVE Jingit. Do yourself a favor and just have it. Its free and it can go on your phone to earn you money that you just wouldnt have before.

There isnt much to say about this one. You do menial tasks and are paid pennies at a time. Sometimes a dollar, depending on the task and what they want to pay you. I really enjoy just tagging photos for them, or labeling images. Its just another small thing to do to earn some side cash. I don't make abutt load on it, but when Im bored I can make like a dollar and that makes me feel good.
This image really explains it:

A freebie!

I just thought I'd share this little freebie with you!

You dont have to pay shipping, just enter your address and enter a VERY short survey on your coffee preferences. BOOM. in 4-6 weeks you'll be fancy for a day!

http://www.aceyourcollegeclasses.com/ Ok honestly, I can't figure this one out. Its not very well laid out but SOME people have figured it out and they are making money with it! Heres what it says about making money with them in their FAQ:
"Here is an example, let’s say you’re a math whiz, log in to your AYCC account and browse for questions that involve math. Create a tutorial that will guide the student and post it. We will show a preview of your tutorial to the student, if they like the preview, they purchase it. From there you earn the price of the tutorial minus our 25% fee.

AYCC recommends that you do not post short answers. Post tutorials that are good and has a great deal of information. Students will like that and this in return will make them come back to you for more help! More help means more money for you! Get paid within 24 hours after your withdrawal!

When you sell a tutorial you will earn 75% and AYCC will take the other 25%. All tutorials will remain on the site and can be sold over and over again. This means you make more money! There are no fees to withdraw your money earned and for adding funds."

Like I said, its not the most straight forward system, but if you are the person that loves to write essays and just dont have any good reason to keep em around, SELL 'EM and someone else can graduate college! You also set your own prices in this one, although its a bit more labor intensive.

Ok, so this one I actually worked for a while back and just applied to work for again. You can actually make money doing this and its for real! You wont make enough to change your life but you could make anywhere from $30-$100 bucks a month of extra cash by just Googling things for people. Again, you wont be rich but its pretty much my dream job, haha. KGB is a text answering service. People text their question to them and then an agent responds to it, kind of like ask.com or the thousands of other things you see around the internet but never knew you could be a part of. You get .10-.15 cents per text. They charge .99 per text.. but thats besides the point. =)
You have to work a minimum of hours per week. I cant remember what it is right now but its something like 10. If you go under the threshold you will be fired. Its an actual job, and you set your own schedule and work as hard as you'd like.
If you want to work for them you first have to pass an assessment test found here: http://beginkgb.com/challenge/
You can take it as many times as you'd like, but you have to pass all 7 sections in order to be considered at all. Once you pass you send your info in and basically fill out an app. within 5 business days you should get an email letting you know if you've been accepted!

http://www.chacha.com/
Basically the same thing as KGB only the payment is different and they arent hiring as often.
Heres their description about the jobs they offer: http://becomeaguide.chacha.com/why-become-a-guide/
They hire at this link so check it out and see if there are any positions available: http://becomeaguide.chacha.com/


http://webanswers.com/
If you want to make money with Webanswers be ready to be in for the long haul with little payout. I like it because its just something to do and I feel like Im getting SOMETHING out of it.. but that something is minuscule.
"How do I get paid for answering questions?
WebAnswers.com uses Google's AdSense contextual advertising program to generate revenue for the the users that have been "awarded answers" by the people asking the questions. Once an answer you have posted is selected as the best answer for the question, you will earn a percentage of the revenue generated by that question from Google AdSense."
Basically in lamens terms what that means is that the website is laid out like a forum. People ask questions and others answer extremely similarly yahoo answers. The person asking the question gets to pick the best answer. The person awarded as giving the best answer gets the page - meaning they can gain revenue based on the number of hits the URL of that question gets... meaning as little as .00001 cent per 1000 views. Its all based around Google adsense.
Its fun to do but don't expect for it to be a "job." If you already use Google in this way with your own website like I do then there's no reason why not if you just like answering questions cause it just gets added to your paycheck from Google (Google doesnt pay you until you've made $1000 worth of income by the way, so just using webanswers can take like 100 years to show results. =)

This one sounds a lot like Keen! This website will provide you with a unique contact number which your clients can use to call you and take advice from you. You can set any price for you call per minute and get paid to answer questions. For some reason this one makes me feel more confident then Keen, and since Im a Hypnotherapist and Life coach this one feels more professional (instead of being centric around psychics and readers.) Heres what their website says about their system: Go to their website to see a higher quality visual.

Amazing Vegetarian/Vegan banana Pancakes!

Pancakes are fun because you can make them as healthy or UNhealthy as you want to. I used fun and chemistry to make these vegetarian (would be vegan if it werent for BUTTER but obviously thats an easy replacement away as well.)

Let me spout off some ingredients and explain to you why science will make you happier and healthier as we go along. This makes enough for about

First you're going to need to make buttermilk! This can be done with ANY milk alternative (even milk if you really want and don't have buttermilk) I use soy because that's what WIC gives me, but Id prefer coconut milk. Whatever, it gets cooked up so its not that big of a deal.

• 1 Cup of milk (alternative)
• 1 Tablespoon of Vinegar (I use ACV for health benefits as well as extra sweetness)

Stir then let science do its thing for about 5 minutes. ( I usually just do this first and its done by the time everything is ready to be mixed together. It just get thicker and chunkier. Different milks and brands will have slightly different results, but this is of little concern to you.)

In a bowl mix the dry ingredients, which are:

• 2 Tablespoons of Sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 teaspoon of Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt ( I use Himalayan but for the best for your family anything that isn't regular iodized salt will be great!)
• 1 Cup of flour (special flours like whole wheat, almond meal, or gluten free are always welcome. Try to avoid anything wheat that says "enriched" with vitamins.)

Now for the butter. If you are using butter you need to melt it. If you are. If not a great alternative is olive oil!

• 2 Tablespoons of butter OR 1 1/2 Tablespoon of Olive oil. NO Margarine is not a substitute for butter!!! ;)

Add it to the buttermilk creation, give it a whirl!

The last ingredient is our egg substitute and the stealer of the whole show. 

• 1/2 of a fresh banana! 

Take this and mash it into the dry concoction, mushing it in there as much as possible. Then eat the other half or freeze it for a smoothie!

Now mix ALL of the ingredients together and mix till its smooth, but it doesn't have to be perfect. Bananas get crazy! Turn the stove on to medium. After that use the mixin spoon to drop about a 1/4 C at a time onto the pan and cook it up! It sould only take a few seconds per side once the stove is all heated up.

BOOM. Quick, easy. DELICIOUS. These are a stable nowadays. So easy and fun.

The man wouldn't even stop eating to let me take a picture of my pancake delights!

Homemade laundry detergent!

Well I FINALLY ran out of detergent so I can try this!

Its really easy and super cheap. If you're broke, just go green!

This page shows the following breakdown of prices:

Arm & Hammer® liquid 100 ounce detergent – $6.79 – 32 loads = $0.21 per load

Tide® with Bleach powder 267 ounce detergent – $20.32 – 95 loads = $0.21 per load

 Homemade powder 32 ounce detergent – $2.98 – 64 loads = $0.05 per load

As you can see, whether I compare against traditional store bought liquid or powder, I am saving $0.16 per load!

So heres how to do it:

Youll need:

• 1 bar of Fels-Naptha soap
• 1/2 cup Borax 
• 1 cup Washing soda
• approx. 3-4 gallons of Water
• A bucket that holds about 4 or more gallons. Preferably with a lid.
• Your favorite Essential oil (optional)

1. Put about 4 cups of water on the stove to boil.
2. While waiting for that to boil grate the bar soap.
3. When the water boils throw the soap in a little at a time so it breaks down. Stir until fully dissolved
4. Put about 3 gallons of water into the bucket. You can also add the optional essential oil at this point for extra cleaning or fragrance! I prefer orange because its easy to make myself, and smells fresh.. plush no one seems to smell enough like oranges these days!
5. Throw the soap soup and rest of ingredients into the bucket - mix thoroughly and wait about 24 hours.
6. BA-DA-BOOM - DETERGENT! I filled old detergent bottles that Ive been saving up with this concoction and its pretty amazing! Im very satisfied with myself! I love when a project comes together and I can have a little more pride in my home care abilities!

Please stop with the microwaves

I cant even tell you how many Pinterest pins or recipe websites I see that use the microwave for thing that just make me cringe. Making homemade Mozzarella cheese IN THE MICROWAVE? OH MY GROSS. Making eggs for my TODDLER by just popping them IN THE FREAKING MICROWAVE? THIS NEEDS TO STOP PLEASE.

A plant that was watered with microwaved water (a young girl did this for her science project)

When I went to college for nutrition we learned that it specifically retards protein molecules.

(You can find more info and every days progress at http://usahitman.com/microwave-test/)

That same website (and many others) lists the following

Ten reasons to throw out your Microwave oven (taken from research):

1.  Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term, permanent, brain damage by ‘shorting out” electrical impulses in the brain (de-polarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue).
2.  The human body cannot metabolize (breakdown) the unknown by-products created in microwaved food.
3.  Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods.
4.  The effects of microwaved food by-products are residual (long term, permanent) within the human body.
5.  Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down.
6.  The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens.
7.  Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths (tumors). This may explain the rapid increased rate of colon cancer in America.
8.  The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.
9.  Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and serum alterations.
10.  Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence.

{Health Freedom Resources, Public Awareness Announcement #1, June 2000, Radiation Ovens, The Proven Dangers of Microwaves.” Also information from the Forensic Research Document, prepared by William P. Kopp, A.R.E.C. Research Operations. TO61-7R10/10-77F05. Written by Anthony Wayne and Lawrence Newell. healthfree.com, Apr. 2003}  Author's comment: The use of artificial microwave transmissions for subliminal psychological control, ‘brainwashing,’ has also been proven. Clinical experiments have been written up by Drs. Luria and Perov. 

Even if you are one of those cyncical, sarcastic people that think its cool to be unhealthy and like to rub it in others face how you dont care, consider that this is from a mother, who when it comes to her children - is better safe than sorry. It doesnt matter to me or MOST mothers how cool you are, Im not gonna risk anything with my kid.

****There is huge controversy over what is fact and what isn't. Its hard to trust any sources so I'm gonna leave it at this: Better dafe than sorry. Is it really THAT important that food is ready in 30 seconds as opposed to 15 minutes?****

Another pharmeceutical lie debunked! Heart burn!

How much money do you think companies make annually on heart burn medicines and antacids? What if they were getting us to take those things so the we never actually CURE the issue?

Well if you are familiar with the medical industry in general you wont be surprised to know that antacids actually coat the bottom of the esophagus, numbing the pain but allowing erosion and damage to occur!

Heartburn is caused by acidic gases and liquid getting up into the esophagus, irritating the lining of the esophagus. More often then not this happens based on your diet, OR because you took a medication that lowers the acid in your stomach. This will cause your body to retort by creating more acid to make up for the loss and sometimes that can cause spill over into the esophagus. Its a never ending battle unless you actually stop the problem

Your body is way smarter than you are. It will constantly be trying to find equilibrium  so when you use drugs and medicines to cover the issue it will find another way to let you know it is out of balance. Always try to find the ROOT of an issue before trying to just heal it.

Whats the remedy? Apple Cider Vinegar of course!
There are a few theories as to why.
The vinegar seems to trigger the sphincter at the lower end of the esophagus, causing it to tighten up and stop the "leakage." The reason I like the most is that your stomach is low on acid - give it some acid! As a pregnant lady this has been working instant wonders on me.
You can mix a couple of teaspoons in a glass of water, or drink it straight up followed by water! Neither are that bad for me, but my body loves vinegar, haha.

Remember the glass bottles! Plastic leaches into our food!

"Being acidic is the natural state of the stomach, so there is no such thing as an excess of acid or acid buildup regarding the stomach. It is like claiming that the lungs suffer from excess oxygen, or the blood has an excess of red cells. Attempting to neutralize stomach acid to treat an uneasy stomach is as wise as treating an excess of blood cells with leaches. Both cases are demonstrations of using poor medicine to treat only the symptoms of nonexistent medical conditions, of which the establishment either cannot accurately diagnose, or it is too unprofitable to do so." (http://healthwyze.org/index.php/component/content/article/221-why-you-should-use-apple-cider-vinegar-instead-of-antacids-and-baking-soda-for-indigestion.html)



So remember guys, be smarter and research thing sbefore you just do what a doctor tells you, or just do what "normal" people do. We are a culture bent on poisoning ourselves so its time to take responsibility for your health!
