Get paid to watch YouTube videos?!

Since the pay from my texting job has decreased, I have been searching every where for more ways to earn a few extra dollars. Right now I will take what I can get as long as I get paid like I am supposed to! Anyone heard of Paid2YouTube? You can get paid to view youtube videos, comment on them and subscribe to them! So far, so good and I've heard good things about them. They pay via paypal and you can cash out at $10.00! You don't have to watch the entire video either you can just watch a few seconds of it, click off of it and still get credit for it! You do have to have a youtube account to use this service, obviously, but if you don't have one it is very simple to sign up for one!

I haven't forgotten about this blog, just been a bit difficult finding time to write in here now that I'm in college on top of everything else I do! I have a few other things that I will be posting about soon. I know times are hard right now and everyone is willing to do what they need to do to earn a few extra bucks. I hope I can help! Don't forget, if I have helped you in some way, please link to me on your blog or website, I would really appreciate it!

Magpie for Twitter, ripoff??

In a post I wrote a few months ago I talked about using Magpie to make money with your twitter account. Well, apparently it's not as wonderful as I first thought!

I got an email from Magpie a few days ago informing me that my account has been suspended due to too many automated tweets. First of all, as far as I know, at least 95% of Twitter users use programs to automatically send out their tweets! What is wrong with that?? Is it wrong that I can't just sit online 24 hours a day like some do and send out tweets all day long one by one? I've always tried to throw in some personal tweets and funny/interesting tweets, too to give it a more personal touch! I like using Twitter to promote my blogs and other things that I do online! What exactly is wrong with that? What is wrong with using a program that just makes things easier for busy people? Magpie has continued to send out their advertising tweets abd have received plenty of legit hits. How am I cheating anyone or anything just because I automate some of my tweets??

I hope that Magpie is not trying to do what I've heard google adsense has done to a lot of people! I hadn't checked my stats in a few weeks but I do know that I was getting pretty close to payout. NOW they want to suspend my account which means I lose all of the money that I have earned and I can't even get to my stats now to see what amount I was at!? I just lose everything! They tell me that the only way I can remedy this is to make sure that less than 15% of all my tweets are automated! Less than 15%, are u freakin' kiddin' me?? Kiss my ass Magpie. You got your money and now you want to steal mine??

Do you enjoy snapping pictures? Make money with them!

Do you have an eye for photography? There are companies out there that will PAY you for your photography!

Shutterstock is free to join. You can upload your photos to their site and every time someone downloads your photo for use you get paid! I'm going to try it out myself sometime when I can find the time for it!

istockphoto has a little better pay structure however they are a lot more strict! First of all, you have to take a test regarding what can and can not be uploaded or used in your photography or graphic art. They have high standards for photos and your photos have to be approved before you will be accepted. I submitted 3 photos awhile back and was denied. You are able to try again but I just haven't taken time to mess with it!

What other great way to make money than to make it by doing something you enjoy? I happen to love photography and I hope that eventually some of my photography can make me a little bit of money! If you have a creative eye and love photography why not give it a try??

P.S. I also want to apologize for not updating lately. I just recently started school so now on top of 3 young kids and working, I have school 12 hours a week and homework!! I need more hours in my day to get everything done!! I hope you will all bare with me for awhile?? xo
