Challenge Day 2 of 30

Challenge Day 2 of 30
         Today I went door to door handing out swag buck referral strips to people. It was certainly interesting, my personal favorite being people that claim they don't use a search engine when online. In an attempt to see if this is a profitable method I visited 25 houses in 45 minutes time. Out of those people 7 appeared to be interested and 3 out of the 7 were very interested. If only 1 of those three stays with it for the long haul it will make me $8 which works out to be ten dollars an hour not bad for ringing doorbells. If you want to start making money from Swagbucks click the link the ad at the bottom to sign up.
             If you are trying to sell anything door to door here are a few tips:

• Smile all the time, it makes people more likely to be receptive to anything you are sell
• example   
• Knowledge Know your product, inside and out, you should be able to answer any question instantly
• example Q: How good are the search results?
•               A: Swagbucks is powered by Google and Ask and provides similar search results                                                                                 
• Positives Understand the best thing about your product and center your pitch around that.  
• example   Swagbucks is free, and provides you an opportunity to make money doing something you already do.
• Numbers Tracking your progress allows you to remember where you've been and to track the amount of money you have made. If your numbers show you are only getting paid $1.25 an hour that means you need to change your methods or your product
• Persistence if 25% percent of your customers simply listen to what you have to say you're on the right track. Remember you are trying to sell something they didn't even know they wanted and you will get dozens of NOs before you get a YES!

Challenge Day 1 referrals

Challenge day 1 of 30
        I've begun posting comments on blogs and YouTube videos, and other websites trying to get my referral code out there. I have determined this method is too passive, I have yet to receive any new referrals.
                 Say hello to plan b:

           Three of these on one page times 20 pages will give me 60 referral slips to hand out when I go door to door tomorrow in an attempt to gain referrals to meet my goal of 500 dollars worth of swag bucks by 07/09/2012 (btw to make your own QR codes for free visit http://www.qrstuff.com/)
               If you would like to help me reach my goal you can refer friends to this blog or give them my referal link:  http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/mleonc or sign up yourself and begin getting paid to search the web as you normally do.
                 In addition to the challenge I have created this blog to chronicle I want to help people make money or just help other people. That's why I want to talk about selling Plasma as a way to make money. I'd like to think this is a good idea but in the details its not as good as it sounds, I invite you to do your own research and comment if you can find a safe, plasma donating center that will use your plasma to save lives, not make beauty products. The main problem with companies that pay a person to donate plasma is that they are more likely to lie about their current state of health to make money. I'm no expert in this field but I encourage anyone who is thinking about this as a money making venture to proceed with caution.

Challenge day 1

                This is day 1 of 30 in my quest to make 500 dollars from swagbucks.com. I have started this blog in the hope that i can inform my readers about free ways to make money on the internet and to refer people to swagbucks to help reach my total requirement of 62,745 swag bucks, or 500 dollars. If you'd like to sign up for swagbucks.com follow this link http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/mleonc or you can click the link in the top right hand corner of the blog to sign up, you get a small bonus for being referred and so do I. For a description of swagbucks view the previous post. 
            If swagbucks isn't quite your cup of tea fear not there are lots of other ways to make money on the internet. One of my personal favorites is becoming a Mechanical TURK for Amazon. I do this for a little bit of extra cash. The basic premise of a a Mechanical TURK or mturk for short is that you complete simple tasks that computers just can't do effectively. These Human Intelligence Tasks or HITs come in all shapes and sizes; some HITs are very quick and easy but pay very little while others are more difficult or timely and pay more. Oh yes did I forget to mention that Amazon pays you cash? Well its true, cash can be deposited directly into a checking account. No swag buck no points just cash.
             The tasks are very diverse, you could classify school systems or right 90 word descriptions of pornos. The choice is yours. Mturks make on average 2-6 dollars an hour depending on how well you complete the HITs. The system also records your accuracy, so the more accurate you are the more high paying HITs  you are offered. To sign up to be a Mechanical TURK for amazon.com follow this link: https://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome

Intro

This my first blog will talk about my first attempt at getting money from the internet, swagbucks.com. The premise of the website is simple enough. They have a search engine, nearly identical to Google’s, that companies pay money to be at the top of. They then take a small portion of that money and use it to persuade people to use their search engine. This money comes in the form of swag bucks (1 swag buck ~.008 dollars)   Or at least that’s how it began…

Currently you can earn swag bucks by taking surveys, watching videos, playing games, or all of the above. You can also earn swag bucks through referrals:

All in all swagbucks.com seems too good to be true, however it’s not. You’re not going to become a millionare, but you will get an easy 500 dollars a year spending about 5 minutes a day clicking a mouse.
