52 Week Money Challenge

Last year around New Years I saw the 52 week money saving challenge being shared, but we didn't do it.  This year when I saw it being shared I printed it out and took it to my hubby to show it to him because I really wanted to do it.

The way it is set up, there are 52 weeks in the year and you save money each week.  Week 1 is $1, Week 2 is $2 etc until you hit Week 52 at $52.  In the end, you wind up saving (either in a bank account, or where ever you keep your savings) a total of $1,378 for the year.  Some people talk about doing it backwards, so you are saving more now, and less during the holidays when money usually gets tighter for people.  We're trying to go backwards, but I did a print out that has check boxes on it, so if need be we can skip around each week and check them off as we do them.  I also saw an alternative that has you save $26.50 each week of the year, and you still save $1,378 for the year.

We have a savings account and a high interest savings account (that account is our out of site, out of mind money that we are stashing for major emergencies, like for our house).  We are transferring the money we are saving right into the high interest savings account.  We did our 1st deposit on Friday!  I am excited to do this, it will be a great addition to our savings account, every little bit helps!  I personally don't think it matters if you go in order, as long as you make the commit and do all the deposits.

Is anyone else doing this challenge?

Bubblews

You are probably asking me, "What is Bubblews?"

Well ,let me tell you, it is a pretty new site that I found recently, that is different from most sites that I do.  I get paid for writing articles, about whatever I want!  They of course earn ad revenue, and they share those earnings with you for you writing content.  You get paid for every view, like, comment, and social media share that you get!!!  You know me, after I write a post, I like it, and I share it on google +, Twitter, and Facebook so I can boost my earnings a bit!

You can make connections with other people too,  So as you read and like and comment on their posts, they in turn will do the same for you.  If you make a connection with someone it will let you know when they post new content.

Cash out is at $25.  I am already up to $9.85 after 1 week.  I am noticing too...as you make more connections and interact with more people, you in turn have more people interacting with you....and you earn money faster!

You are not allowed to ask other's to like or share your content tho, that can get you in trouble.

When you refer someone you do get something when they do their very first post, but that is it.  A few days ago it was $.20, right now as I write this it is $.50.

So, why don't you check it out and see what it is all about?

Insta GC

Instagc is a site I just joined on October 8th.  I am LOVING this site!  I have already cashed out $48 in Amazon gift cards!!  Seriously!  I get free gift cards just for doing offers.  I only do free offers, and they have a TON to pick from.  You can even watch videos to earn points.  They have a chat feature, so you can talk to other members and they are all so friendly and helpful, they will answer your questions and will even tell you what offers are crediting quickly.

Now, this site does take a tiny bit of work.  You can sign up with your normal email, but you'll want to make some email accounts for doing your offers.  Basically you just want to clear cookies and use different emails to help your offers credit better.  I write down what offers i do with which email address, so if I need to conform something I can.  Doing it this way also avoids spam to your regular email inbox too.  But this is a quick and easy way to make money.

You earn 10 points when a referral signs up and confirms their email address.  After that you earn 10% of what they earn.  This particular site is 1 account per household.

They also don't have just amazon gift cards too!  They have Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Old Navy, Game Stop, Starbucks, and more!!  And the best part?  It's instant payment!!!  I select the gift card I want, and then they give me my code right then and there!!  THAT is awesome!!!

Now is the perfect time to join and earn a little extra money to help pay for Christmas!  You can join me by clicking on one of the banners on the page, or on the hyper link above.

Money Making Mama!!

I know I have a tab here about how I make money form home, but I wanted to be able to go a bit more in-depth with it all.  So, I started up a new blog!  Money Making Mama.  So head on over there and check it out!  I have a different tab for the different types of sites that I use, and I go into a lot more detail about each of the sites and what you can do on them to earn money!

I JUST pre-ordered myself the Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1 Tab 2 (it goes on sale on May 13th!) and a 32gb micro SDHC card for it!  The total came to $421.98.....I used my saved up Amazon Gift cards, and my Jing-it debit card, and paid $0 out of pocket for it!!!

How I make money from home

Hello friends! I have several ways that I make money from home. Some I have been doing for several months, some I have recently started. I'd like to share them with my friends and family. Using these websites I got my husband the brand new kindle touch for FREE ($99 value) using amazon giftcards and I got $55 worth of books for my kids for Christmas from Amazon for FREE also! You don't have to get amazon giftcards, that is just how I chose to get paid. I will start with the sites I have been with the longest. Here we go!

Swagbucks is the first website I use.  I started using them back in Jan.  I have earned $95 in Amazon giftcards from Swagbucks.  This is just doing it part time, heck, sometimes I go a few days without doing anything on it (I am a bit of a slacker lol).  People who spend more time on it actually earn $75 in amazon giftcards a MONTH!  My husband just started with them a little bit ago, because now they allow more then 1 account per household (it use to be only 1 per household) and he has earned $10 already.  There are several different ways to earn swagbucks.  You can watch SBTV, do surveys, find swag codes, daily polls, and of course, the main way...search wins.  You just do your searches using their search and you randomly win swagbucks.  They have an entire swagstore you can redeem your swagbucks in.  You can do paypal, several different giftcards, and all sorts of items in various different departments.  If you'd like to check it out, here's my referral link (or click the highlighted swagbucks above)   http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/norac


Next up is Superpoints!  This is one of my favorites!!  This site is by invitation only!  I can post a few invite links, but they are only good for 7 days, or until they are used.  So you might have to actually contact me in order to get a token from me.  Basically with superpoints all you do is click the Super Lucky Button.  When you start off, you need to fill out your profile, this will give you 30 clicks a day on the super lucky button.  If you don't fill out your profile, you will only get 5 a day, and you just can't win very well with only 5 clicks a day.  Superpoints does start off a bit slow, getting a few referrals under you does help out.  When you get 2 referrals under you who fill out their profile then you become a gold member and you get 50 clicks a day on the super lucky button.  Also, every time anyone under you wins on the super lucky button you win the same amount!  NO CAP!  When you get 7 people under you who fill out their profile, you become a platinum member and you go up to 100 clicks a day.  I get 100 clicks a day, it takes me 20-30 mins to do my clicks.  That's all the time I need to spend on the website.  You also get a daily email from them with points in it, usually 1 or 2 pts, but sometimes 5, 10, 25, and once I even got a 75!  I just started in August and have already cashed out $60 in amazon giftcards!  Again you don't have to get amazon gift cards, they also have paypal, various other giftcards, and other rewards too.  My 11 year old son loves to click the button for me, so I don't even always have to do it, he sometimes does it for me.  This one is only 1 per household.  Here are a few invite tokens.

Next up is JingIt!  I don't have a referral code for Jingit, I can only invite people via Facebook, but if you are not a facebook friend, you can just go to http://www.jingit.com/ to join 8)  Jingit, you can earn up to $5 a week ($10 if you invite friends who join, so if you a facebook friend, ask me for an invite pls! I am still at only $5!).  All you do is watch short ads, and on occasion answer a few questions about the product.  You can either redeem your money through a music store, getting MP3's, or you can request a Jingit debit card (which is what I did).  Once you get your debit card, which is through US Bank, you can transfer your winnings rom Jingit onto the card and you can spend it where ever you want!  I just transferred my first $10 to my card today!  I only spend maybe 10-15 mins a day on this site, not long at all!

Finally, my newest venture!  This is one I found from a cafemom friend, and it seems a lot of my cafemom frinds are doing it.  It's called Varolo .  Now this one works a bit differently, you build your 'village' and the bigger your 'village' the more money you make.  You watch ads, and when you watch the ads and your village watches ads, that's how you make money.  If you do not have a village, then you can only earn entries into the jackpot drawing. So having referrals in this one is kinda big.  But you can earn money on up to 4 degrees of separation.  But as long as you and your village watch about 10 mins of ads a day you earn money, which you can get paid to you via paypal.  Every ad that you watch gives you 1 entry into the weekly jackpot drawing for $500.  I am really enjoying it so far, it's pretty easy to do, and like I said, not a huge time sink.  I'm looking to grow my village, so would you like to join me?  You can click the highlighted Varolo above, or use this link www.varolo.com/village/NoraC 

If you have any questions about any of these sites, please feel free to contact me, I am happy to answer your questions!!

Superpoints Update!!

So far I have cashed out 2 $5 Amazon giftcards from Superpoints!!  I am loving superpoints, all I do is click a button and I get free money!  Between Superpoints and  Swagbucks I make some decent money, and I only do it part time!  I could make a lot more if I dedicated more time to it, but I am just way too busy!

Here's a superpoints link, but it is only good for 7 days, or until someone uses it.  If you would like one and this one is no good, leave me a comment and I will get a link to you!
