Instant Cash Sweepstakes

Instant Cash Sweepstake (ICS) is a fun twist to the normal survey sites out there. The surveys on the ICS site are short, fun, and quick. Most of the surveys are only three questions long and take literally 20 seconds to complete. Here is a sample of what the surveys look like:

How much more simpler can it get??? Have you ever tried taking a survey that you spend 15 minutes or more just to be told you do not qualify to finish the survey? Well you will never experience that with this site. And best of all, It's free to join! And the best part, it's FREE!! Of course, any site that I review here is always free so that wouldn't be an issue anyways.

Now on to the details of how the site works.
ICS makes earning by surveys fun. The surveys earn you tickets that are used on a daily drawing for $50. Each day, your tickets are automatically entered for the drawing, so do not be alarmed when you sign in the next day and see that you have no tickets. On the plus side, if you use the site regularly, your tickets will add up quickly. You also earn coins that can be redeemed for additional tickets or can be used to purchase entries for a $2 drawing. This drawing is held every 3 hours. The nice thing about the coins is that you can accumulate them day after day. This way you can build up the amount of coins you have and purchase tickets or enter the $2 drawing on those days when you are feeling particularly lucky. The number of tickets and coins that are paid out per survey vary, but it does not take long at all for them to add up. Here is an image of the amount of tickets and coins that I have earned today alone, and I have only logged in 3 times today:

Over 1000 entries for the $50 drawing, and I am not done yet.!!! Not bad for only logging in 3 times so far today. Occasionally you also earn a few cents for completing the surveys. This does not happen as often as earning tickets and coins, but I feel that the number of chances you get in the drawings can easily make up for this.

The blue section in the image is the TS level (TrustScore). This is the level that determines how many tickets and coins you earn per survey. Each time the level increases, so does the amount of tickets and coins that are paid. Your level increases by participating in the surveys. Higher levels also have increased chances of getting a special multiplier that further increases the amount that is paid out. I have just started the site and have made it about halfway to the next level. I figure in the next day or two I should be there.

Your TS level also determines how many surveys you can do every in each session. When starting out, you can only complete 5 surveys every three hours. I know that this does not sound like much, but don't worry, you will still earn plenty of tickets and coins within these limits. When you reach levels 2 and 3, your survey limit increases by three each level. That's 11 surveys per session by level 3! The number of additional surveys increases by one with every two levels that you move up. So levels 4 and 5 add four more surveys each, levels 6 and 7 add five more surveys, and so on.

The minimum payout amount required by ICS is $2 and is paid through PayPal. If you are like me, this is a big plus because I like to get my money as quickly as possible. While the pay may seem small, I always say small payments quickly add up.

Another feature that I like about ICS is that they have a map that shows you where the winners are located. While many of you may not really care about this feature, I think it is kind of neat so I decided I would mention it here.

Update: I have been paid twice by this site. I could maybe have earned more, but I have been really busy the last several months so I have not dedicated as much time as I want to. Here are the images of the payments if any of you are interested:

Sorry for the long absence

Hello Everyone,

I hope everyone is doing well and that your money making endeavors are doing even better. I know it has been almost a year since I have updated this blog, and I want to apologize for this. The reason for the long absence is due to a few factors. I have had some health issues that have kept me down off and on throughout the past year. For the most part, my health is doing a lot better and I am starting to get more accomplished than I have been. A big issue that I am having now is issues with my hip. I have been suffering some great pain the last couple of weeks and am starting to have to consider a hip replacement. This really sucks because I am only in my early 30's and would think that I am too young for this to be an issue. I did find out that it is genetic and guess I should have known this since many members of my family has had to have replacements done before they reached the age of 40. Because of this, I have difficulties sitting at my desk for any extended period of time which has limited my computer use.

Another issue has been my schooling. I have been extremely focused on my education and have dedicated most of my computer time to doing schoolwork. I still find a little time to make money online, but with my time at the desk being limited lately, I have chose to focus more on my studies. The good news here is that I am due to graduate with my Bachelors degree in two months!!! Once I graduate, I will be able to dedicate more time to my online money making endeavors.

One of the biggest issues that I have had is companies not paying or just flat out failing and going under. I had found several new opportunities to try, but many of them did not last too long before shutting down. I guess this is the risk when trying a company that is just starting up. It is kind of sad though because some of these really seemed like they were great concepts, but they just were not able to become profitable for the owners to keep them up. Also, there were a few that I tried out that just did not pay. For these reasons, I did not post any of them on this blog. The last thing I want to do is waste any of my reader's time trying out a program that does not pay. I like to try a program out for awhile and actually get paid before I post them here to share with you all. On the plus side, I have a few new opportunities that I am currently testing out and if they workout for me I will definitely share them here with you.

I also have a big (& highly positive) change happening in my life right now. My girlfriend is pregnant with our first child!!! We are so excited about this new life coming into our lives and have been spending a lot of time preparing for this. I am learning how much work and time it is taking to prepare for this miracle. Getting a nursery ready and baby-proofing the house has definitely proving to be a full-time job by itself. I don't mind it though, all of the hard work is going to be worth it, especially when the little monster becomes mobile, lol.

So that is the update of what has been going on in my life. I apologize to all who have been waiting for more posts from me. While I may still have some extended periods between posts, I am going to try my best to not have such long absences. I will share these new opportunities that I am working on once I have been paid by them and can verify that they are legit. Hopefully, I will be able to have some more money making opportunities for you very soon. Until then, I hope you all have good luck in your own endeavors.

P.S.- I have met a lady who has been quite successful with making money online and am hoping to be able to sit and learn a lot form her. I will keep you all posted.

Listen to Music & Get Paid!!! Slice The Pie

Slice The Pie

I have absolutely fallen in love with this program. Slice The Pie actually pays you to listen to music!! Now I know many of you are probably thinking that there has to be some kind of catch, and you would be correct. The catch is that you have to write a short review of what you think of the song. That is it, you listen to a song, write a short review, and Slice The Pie credits your account. It is that simple!!

How It Works:

Slice The Pie is one of the simplest programs that I have seen. The first thing you do (just like with any program) is create your account. After you do this, you answer a couple questions, such as what types of music you like. Now you are ready to start making money as a scout (member) of Slice The Pie.

When you log in in to your Slice The Pie account, you are immediately taking to the 'scout' page. This is where you will listen to the songs and write your reviews. Your first song starts as soon as you log in. There is a box located within the player where you will write your review. After you listen to 90 seconds of the song, you can submit your review (there is a countdown timer that informs you when you can submit your review). The nice thing is that you can write whatever you feel, and the more detailed the review is, the more you get paid. After you submit your review, you can click the ‘Next’ button to go on to the next song, or wait and continue listening to the song that is currently playing.

Many of the songs on Slice The Pie are from lesser known acts who are trying to get their music out there. Slice The Pie also throws in a few songs from bigger, well-known acts. If you enjoy listening to music and want to get paid to do so, then Slice The Pie is for you. This site is absolutely 100% free, so there is absolutely no risk at all. Give it a try, you have nothing to lose!! Click here to sign up or to learn more about Slice The Pie.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them in the comments. I will try my best to answer any and all questions you may have.

Make Easy Free Money Online

Are you looking for a way to make a little bit of extra money online? Do you perform tasks on the Internet such as watch videos, take surveys, read emails, and listen to music? If this sounds like you then why not get paid to do these tasks that you already do every day? I did these same things daily, and I found a way to get paid while doing them.

I know that some of you may think that this is not possible or it must be some kind of scam. Well I am happy to inform you that these programs are not a scam and making money on the Internet is possible. The best part is that these programs are all FREE!!! You will never be asked for any kind of payment, credit card numbers, or any other sensitive, personal information.  All you need is a PayPal account to receive payment. You will not get rich from these programs, but if you spend a little bit of time with them you can make a decent amount of extra spending cash just for doing what you are already doing. If you are willing to invest the time into a few different sites, then you can receive multiple streams of income. I personally use and been paid with these programs that I feature on this blog.

Now I am new to this blogging thing, so I want to try to get things as nice as possible. So right now, I only have one site review on here. Don't worry though, it is not my only source for free and easy money. I have to gather some material (such as screenshots, payment proof, etc.) and will have more sites in the coming weeks. I will also add more details to current information when I learn a little more on blogging. And remember,  every site I endorse on here is, and always will be, 100% FREE!!!

Money Making Program #1

QuickRewards

QuickRewards is a great site to make free money. There are several ways to earn money such as watching videos, reading emails, taking surveys, and much more. I also like the daily trivia game. The trivia features one question a day with two answers to choose from. When you answer correctly, then you earn points that can be converted into cash.The no minimum cash outs are great, I usually cash out every time I get at least a couple of dollars just because I like to get my money FAST!! Surveys help to earn this money very, very fast. The money is paid to my PayPal very quickly, which I also love. I think the longest I have waited was three days, but most payments are done within 24-48 hours. If you want to make a little extra money, and you want to make it doing things you are already doing, then QuickRewards is worth checking out. Just click the following link to sign up or if you just want to learn more: QuickRewards

I did have proof of payments here, but for some reason my images are not showing anymore and I cannot seem to get them back on.

I will update this as soon as I figure out the issue. I will also be rewriting my review for this program. It is still my most favorite program to use, but I feel that I could have done a better job with my article. Bear with me as this was my first attempt ever writing on a blog. I should have a better, more in-depth review in a few days. Thanks for your patience and support.
