How I do Bing

This is the second installment of the how I do the pay click sites and this one is for Bing.  Bing is the easiest to learn and easiest to do.  I like that.

Bing is part of the Microsoft group and is closely associated with the MSN web sites even though it has it's own main page site.  The pay is one point for every two searches with a limit of 15 points per day.  That is unless they have a special deal going like double points Monday where you can get 30 points total on Monday.

When you are trying to do searches you can do your own or look for the list of top current searches for the day from the pull down lists or select one of the stories of the day as a starting point.

I try to find a search that is on an individual or a place.  The search results will generally have a list of related searches on the right hand side column.  Select one of those related searches and it will give the list of related searches across the top of the next selection.  This makes for a quick list of searches to run one after the other until your limit for the day is reached.  Just make sure to wait for Bing to recognize your search and give you credit for it.  You can see this happen by looking for your point count to appear in the upper right hand corner of the screen.

The other thing to look for is the activity list that is next to your point total.  It will show how far along you are in getting your total search points for the day and it will list any extra point special searches that are available for the day.  There is usually always at least one but I have seen as many as four so take the time to take a look.  If you keep focused on the goal of reaching your daily limit you can easily get your searches done in a matter of minutes.

Bing also has a Bing Bar that you can add to your Internet Explorer that makes it easy to access a countable Bing search from wherever you are on the web.  Like I said, easy is good.

Bing has three levels, member, silver, and gold.  It is fairly easy to get to gold and there is a reason to want to get there quick and stay there...you can redeem at discounted prices.  A $5 Amazon card can be had for 475 points at the gold level.  This means that if you do this daily you can earn a $5 dollar card each month.  The nice thing is Bing pays out quickly, like next day quick.  $5 gift cards is as high as it gets, no saving up for that big ticket card.  There are sweepstakes you can enter but like a real sweepstakes, it is a gamble and just like gambling, the odds are against you so don't bother.  Besides it is the real gift cards that will get you some of the stuff you are really after.

If you have not already signed up with Bing and would like to feel free to use my referral code try BING. (or http://www.bing.com/explore/rewards?PUBL=REFERAFRIEND&CREA=RAW&rrid=_95a992a4-7aa7-0195-b0d8-087fa58f6722).

Bing is one that I have really liked and I think you will to.  This is Ed Nef with a view from the Farrwest.

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.
