Make Money, Money

This post title may indicate that I'm into Bone Thugs N Harmony. Let me assure you now that I'm not.

If there's one thing we're all sick of hearing about, it's money. "In this economy..." isn't just a catchphrase anymore; it's an excuse more common than "My dog ate my homework," mostly because we can't afford to have a dog anymore.

Maybe the new excuse should be, "The economy ate my homework." 

Maybe not. It was worth a shot.

Either way, we're all looking to make some money, and it seems like none of us ever have enough of it. Either we're in debt from student loans, credit card payments, car payments, or we're stuck working a 9-5 job paying minimum wage at McDonald's. Money is something none of us really like, but all of us want (and need if we're going to live).

The funny thing about money is that there's about a million ways to make it. You can mow lawns, paint houses, do paperwork, serve food, be a personal trainer, or just about anything else you can think of and make money from it. Money isn't as difficult to come by as some people make it out to be. This is why I want to present you with a way to make a little extra cash today.

For real.

If you live in the United States or Canada, have an internet connection, and are looking for a few extra dollars a month, then this is for you. And if you want to help me achieve one of my goals for 2011, this is definitely for you.

You see, one of my goals for the year is to make $100 via a website known as Swagbucks. Maybe you've heard of it, and maybe you haven't. Either way, it isn't a scam. Through Swagbucks, you earn points (aptly named "Swagbucks") and then you redeem those points for prizes. Most people that use Swagbucks, though, use it to earn Amazon gift cards. And if you've ever used Amazon, you know that gift cards to their website are about as valuable as someone handing you cold, hard cash.

I know it may still sound like a hoax, but you've got to use whatever trust you have in me right now to hear me out. Last year, I made exactly $100 in Amazon gift cards through Swagbucks, and I hardly broke a sweat. Actually, I doubt that I sweated at all. It's pretty simple stuff. They have a million ways to earn points, including something as simple as searching the internet using their search engine. A couple of minutes a day could earn you a little extra spending money!

So at this point, I'm sick of sounding like a used car salesman. I just want you to check Swagbucks out and see if it's for you. If not, that's okay. But don't knock it before you try it! And if you want to help me out with my goal for 2011, you can start by clicking on this banner and signing up as one of my referrals!

 Thanks in advance, by the way.

So there you have it! A quick and easy way to make a little extra cash! It won't make you rich by any means, but making some money while surfing the internet is better than making none! Check it out and let me know what you think!
