How I do Irazoo

I said that I would do some follow ups on how I do my little slow buck earners on the internet.  This is the first installment on the site we call Irazoo.

Irazoo is a site that pays you to click and participate with games, watching ads and doing searches.

I have done Irazoo for quite a few years now and they have changed the rules quite a few times along the way.  Like the book says, you have to adopt when someone moves your cheese.  When Irazoo changes the rules then you have to adopt to the new rules to make it worthwhile.

As of this post Irazoo is not the easiest to rack up points on.  Where most sites have one point equal about one cent, Irazoo has six points equal that same one cent.  In other words it takes 3,000 points to cash out one $5 gift card.

Irazoo has some of the same offers as you will find on other sites and it seems like it pays more points at first but when you divide by six you notice that it might not pay as much, so if you use other sites it pays to compare before doing an offer to see if it doesn't pay higher on another site.

You can spend a lot of time trying to add up the points but when you find out you are only making $.18 an hour then you can get discourage pretty quickly.  The secret then is to only spend your time on those things that give the quick return and move on.  It takes more days to get to your goal but you spend other time working other sites and doing all the other things you want to.

So I focus on the quick points first.  After logging in, the first thing I do is go for search points.  Think of a phrase, type it into the search box and hit enter.  If it doesn't pay then delete the first letter of the phrase and hit enter again.  Repeat this process until you have a pay on searches.  This is usually good for 10 or 12 points but every now and then I will get a big payout of as much as 96...but don't count on it.

Next up is a visit to the videos page.  Don't bother watching the videos unless you are trying hard to get points as it takes two views of at least 30 seconds each to earn one point.  Remember that at best that is 60 points an hour or $.10 and hour, but that first visit to the videos page will give you one point, no waiting.

Next up is a trip to the offers page, just click on the Earn Points tab or wait for the menu to pull down and select Offers.  You just made 5 points for each of the first visits of the day.

Sometimes that is all I do in Irazoo.  If I feel like spending a little more time I will delve a little deeper to see if there are any more easy points to be had.  On the Offers page you will notice several tabs running across the page.  These look similar to stuff you will see on Swagbucks and from what I have seen most of this is all better to be done on Swagbucks so don't bother with it here.  You can explore to see what works for you if anything but right now the only place I look every view days is under Matomy and then under the sub tabs of 'Video' and '1 Click Offers'.  The sub tabs will narrow down the selection.  From these two sub tabs I can select a few easy points but it takes trial and error to see which ones actually pay (unfortunately many do not).

Once you know which kind pay you can select them and they will open up in a new Explorer tab and then go back and select another one.  That way you can have several open and running at the same time.  I like that.  Usually they just have to be open for about 30 seconds or so and then it says offer complete and you are good to go on to the next one.  That is why you can open up the next one, and the next one while you are waiting for the first one to complete.  The principle of multiple streams of income applied.

If you want to check one other possible point producer then go back to the big Earn Points tab and select 'Special Offers' to see if there is anything going on there, lately not much, but at times you can earn captchas for points and depending on your typing skills and your patience you can rack up a few points.

As for cashing out I suggest doing it as soon as you have the 3,000 points.  It takes a long time to get to 3,000 points and it takes Irazoo a long time to deliver so you might as well start the process as soon as you have enough, just pick your favorite gift card and go.

You have to be referred to join so if you don't already belong use this for IRAZOO. (or http://www.irazoo.com/ReferedNewUser.aspx?RefBy=farrwest).  You can then refer others yourself and earn up to 3,000 points for matching points from your referrals searches.

It's not great but it is something so for now this is Ed Nef with a view from the Farrwest.

Making another slow buck on the internet

If you read my last post you know that I have been surfing the internet to find ways to make a quick buck and finding that to be mostly bunk I started looking for any worthwhile ways to make any money on the internet, in particular making the slow buck on the internet.

It mostly comes from doing some of the same things you would anyway such as searching, playing games, being exposed to endless ads but with a little effort you can actual make a little pocket change for your time.  It sure beats doing it for nothing, or even worse paying for the privilege.

My latest find is one I came across a couple of years ago that was o.k. then but it has gone through some changes and came out slightly better and now worth mention.

If you are not where you want to be now, and you know it, then you will have to change.  Change is not always easy and it does take effort but if you have the desire and it is strong enough you will make the change that you are after.  Even if it means doing homework.  Are you willing to do what it takes to change into whatever it is you are seeking, be it gaining health, losing weight, building wealth, adding knowledge, changing attitudes?

If you wish to work on your wealth you may need to change some of your thought processes.  The popular book Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Richard Kiyosaki, has one major premise I really like; namely that rich people think differently than poor people.  I have found that to be true.  It doesn't take much more than a conversation with your co-workers to realize this.

If you are surrounded by the attitude that "money is evil", "I could be rich if only I compromised my principles", "rich people are lucky or cheaters", or any other like sentiment that keeps you in the "I will never, could never be..." mode, then maybe you need to change your thought patterns and attitudes.

I am not talking about having blind, misapplied optimism but having some positive optimism is not a bad place to start.  It is hard to have a positive attitude if you fill your head with normal drivel that is contained in the typical editorial pages, nightly news, and most talk radio programs.  If your thought diet consist of only these things then daily scriptures and weekly church attendance may not be enough to buoy you up.  You need to expose yourself to a lot of offsetting good to overcome all that depressing noise.

Well one of those things that helps change your thinking in a good way is to listen to others that are thinking the way you want to be thinking,  Expose yourself to others that are interested in becoming healthier, wealthier, wiser.  Those that have the traits you would like to obtain can provide an example to follow for which you can learn from.  By learning how they see the world around them and how they deal with daily problems, we may learn some new techniques that will help us deal with our daily problems.  Big fat hairy deals might just become a little smaller with an adopted change in perspective.

One site with a view on the being wealthier front is Marshal Sylver's GetRichRadio.com, and you can join using my referral at http://getrichradio.com/join/17026.  Give it a try and as with most things I recommend, it cost you nothing unless you want it to, but I like the part that cost us nothing while still can getting something worthwhile.

Marshal Sylver's GetRichRadio pays you to listen to his online radio program.  Granted they pay you in scholarship dollars and they are highly inflated.  You can save up to $250,000 and cash it out into $50 real dollars through pay pal or you can use the scholarship dollars to buy education programs that are offered on the web site.  These programs cover things like marketing, real estate investing, auctions, sales, probate, business credit, and stuff like that including one labeled what would a millionaire do?

This is where the real value is.  If you haven't been exposed to these kinds of programs it may open you to a whole new world.  If have been exposed and always wanted to try some of these programs but were not willing to pay those over the top prices...well now you can and do it all using the house's money.

You get paid $50 per hour to listen to getrichradio once you have registered and also a matching amount from those you refer.  Just let the program run in the background while you do something else, like build your swagbucks account, and soon enough you will have more than enough in your getrichradio account to get a program or two.  And through it all you will expand your knowledge and work on that change of attitude that will help you move in the desired direction.

I admit that much of what I have heard here is a regurgitation of things I have heard before but repetition has served me well, especially when it reinforces an idea from a different perspective.  Sometimes you have to go through a lot of earth to find a few nuggets but nuggets are kind of what we are after.

Sometimes you never know where your next discovery will come from so it is worth having a curious nature and a thirst for knowledge.  I love to explore and have found this site one worth spending some time on.  Give it a try.  I don't agree with everything he says but I have found some things that are worth listening to.

As always, this is Ed Nef with a view from the Farrwest.

Making a slow buck on the internet

There are get quick schemes out there on the internet and most aren’t worth the time spent reading through the hype.  There are few ways to make slow money out there, you just have to invest time and a little effort to see some results.  Be forewarned, those results won’t allow you to quite your day job anytime soon, but it will allow a little extra spending monies for some of the little things you might need or enjoy.  I will tell you about the top three that have worked for me.

All of these are some form of click to earn sites; that is you earn points for doing searches, playing games, watching videos, taking surveys, shopping or just plain watching commercials…and believe me you will be exposed to lots and lots of advertisements.  They also have referral programs which pay you a bonus if someone you refer joins so if you would like to try them out please use the links.

#3.  IRAZOO--I have mentioned this one before and have had a few payouts from it, just not consistently.  They have changed the rules frequently and the payout comes slowly but with minimal effort you can earn a $5 gift card every 2 to 3 months.  This is really making a slow buck on the internet but combining it with the others it will add up over time.  Also with this as my number 3 it should give a pretty good indication of what the rest of these types of site out there are like, in other words be careful and read all of the fine print.  You have to be referred to join so click here for IRAZOO. (or http://www.irazoo.com/ReferedNewUser.aspx?RefBy=farrwest).

#2. BING– Yes the same Bing that is part of the MSN group and trying so hard to compete as your main web browser has a program where you can earn points for your searches.  Every day you can make 30 searches which will earn you 15 points plus they have a special search or two worth a point each.  Sometimes they will have days where you can earn double the daily point limit.  15 points a day doesn’t seem like much but it can add up to a $5 gift card to Amazon about once a month.  Bing doesn’t take a lot of time or effort, is consistent, pays out quickly and has worked well for me.  I wish they would expand the program beyond just searches with other point earning offers but it is because of what they do that I do recommend them.  You can add a search bar to your Internet Explorer (which it prefers but you can also use Firefox) for extra ease.  Use this link if you would like to try BING. (or http://www.bing.com/explore/rewards?PUBL=REFERAFRIEND&CREA=RAW&rrid=_95a992a4-7aa7-0195-b0d8-087fa58f6722).

#1. SWAGBUCKS –You may have heard of them before and they seem to be the real deal.  This one doesn’t have the limits (other than running out of offers) that the others do.  You can earn as much as you are willing to spend time on but more realistically you should shoot for the daily goal which is around 100 points a day.  If you are consistent this can translate into $30 or more in gift cards a month.  If you are ambitious it can be much more.  Use this link if you would like to try SWAGBUCKS. (or http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/c5ed).  I have done a lot of looking and this seems to be the best of its kind out there and has been for several years.  I have added a couple of hundred dollars to my Amazon account with Swagbucks…very nice

If you decide to do any of these here are my top suggestions, 1. Read and follow the rules carefully.  It is their game and they make the rules and if you follow them you will be successful, if you don’t you risk getting terminated.  2. Get a new junk e-mail account and use it to sign up.  If you click on any offers at these sites use this new junk e-mail account and just expect that there will be junk mail coming.  That way you won’t plug up your regular e-mail account and we can still be friends.

Some friends from work got competitive and were really racking up the points so if you set some goals (like a new game console, Blue ray player, TV???) and invite your friends to do this also you might enjoy some building fruits from your efforts.  I must warn you though, this can be addicting and you may lose track of time and end up spending way too much time on this.  Self control is required, both for your family and your sanity.

Anyway you go at least have fun doing it.  Good luck on your way to fame and fortune.  I will follow this up with a how I do it post later but for now this is Ed Nef with a view from the Farrwest.
