Getting free stuff of value....

I post freebies a few times per week.  At every class I teach, someone asks me how I get free money.  Because I do.  I recieve checks and gift cards in the mail each month.

Here are a few of the programs I use:

  • Small Business Knowledge Center.  I mail them junk mail, they mail me gift cards!  Ok, so it's a little more involved than that.  Check out this link for more info.

  • MyPoints: I click links in emails, take short surveys, and do my online shopping through their website and earn points that I redeem for gift cards.  Most of my points come through the surveys. I earn 1 $10 gift card per month (approximately).

  • Global Opinion Panels.  I take surveys (a few a week), do product testing and follow up surveys and earn points.  Points are redeemable for cash or gift cards. I earn about $5.00/month.

  • When you sign up and refer 10 friends to Shopittome, you’ll receive a gift card to one of ten stores (you pick).  Starbucks, Jamba Juice and Whole Foods just to name a few! You and your friend will receive no spam, and you don’t have to buy anything! (I've received 5 so far!)

  • Endorse.com- Currently, Endorse is undergoing a re-vamp, however, once they are up and running again, I'll post a link.  Last year, I earned over $200 from Endorse, just in one quarter, just by doing my usual shopping!

  • Rebates!  I rebate as often as possible. I search on the web to find rebates that fit my family's needs.  My favorite rebate website is Coupons, Deals and More. 

  • I have a Swagbucks account, but I don't use it very often. You can earn points by searching (on their site or install their search toolbar), printing and redeeming grocery coupons, and lots of other activities.  I have only earned a few $5.00 amazon gift codes through Swagbucks.

2012 Goals: Making Money!

This is just the first post in a series of posts about my goals for 2012.

Today's Post: My money making goals for 2012.  Since I am a stay at home mama, my income can be limited. My plan is to take advantage of as many affiliate/pay per click/deal sites and programs as I can to earn extra income, either with cash or gift cards. Since I don't play the drugstore game, I am not planning on (or counting on) any Register Rewards or Extra Care Bucks in 2012.  Occasionally I will shop at drugstores, but not often enough to count on those rewards as income.

This includes:

Endorse (We've earned over $200 since October 2011!!)  I love Endorse because I can use coupons, store cards and gift cards and still earn money.

Mypoints- Click on links in emails, take surveys, and earn points when you do online shopping. Redeem points for gift cards!

SBKC- send in your junk mail and earn points which can be redeemed for Gift Cards

Pampers Gifts to Grow (We earn points when we buy diapers and wipes! And there are always free points available online)

Global Opinion Panels (take surveys and do product studies for points, redeem points for $$ or Gift cards!)

PineCone Research- Take surveys and do product surveys.  Get paid $3.00 per survey!

 

Also, I plan on doing TONS of rebates!  My fav spot on the web for finding tons of rebates is Coupons, Deals, and More!

 

In addition, we take all of Little Man's outgrown clothes and some of the equipment he has outgrown to the baby resale shop and trade them in for clothes in the next size up and new equipment or toys.That means no OOP for us!

 

How do you plan to earn extra cash in 2012?
