Product Testing



Want to try free products? Companies need your opinions about new products.
 
Tuluna - They often send shampoo or other soaps for testing and review.  Surveys are quick it does take a lot of points to cash out but there are usually several survey invites per day so it goes by faster than you'd expect!
 
Bzzagent invites you to try free full-size products and give your feedback.  Over the years I've tested many items. A $250 Dymo printer, KRE O toys, Wine, Chocolates, Soups, Hasbro Toys, assorted soaps, lots of frozen foods from my local supermarket, Pies, Diapers, etc.   Most items are smaller, my most recent product is Keurig K-Cups.
 
Another site I've heard great things about is Smiley360.  I haven't had an opportunity to test anything for them yet but I'm waiting to see if I qualify for a product right now.

Music Reviewers Needed

If you're in need of extra money to pay your electric bill or

is is the easiest money you will make.

All you have to do is sit at your computer and listen to a
song, then write a short review about it.

You can get paid up to .12 cents per song and each song

Great Ways to EARN FREE STUFF while shopping....

Did you know there are lots of websites that offer you store credit for simply sharing their link?  Here are a few that I've had very good experiences with:

Zulily   Get a $20 store credit whenever your refer someone who makes a purchase!  I had thought all they sold were cute kids clothes but it turns out they have all sorts of stuff.  I saw a bunch of cool NFL shirts and hoodies, Star Wars t-shirts, some things for the kitchen and tons of cute clothes.

Doggyloot  Got a dog? Doggyloot gives you a $10 credit for every friend that your refer and shipping is always free.

Groupon  Earn $10 for referral.  If you haven't been using Groupon you've been over paying.  I can't say enough great things about them, I've purchased Old Navy Gift cards for 1/2 price, I've found new restaurants, saved on admission to things like Inflatable World and assorted Holiday festivals.  One of the best ways to maximize your money when it comes to a Groupon you are planning to buy is to purchase it through Swagbucks. You’ll get a nice Swagbucks bonus for doing so, often as many as 200 Swagbucks or more!

BigCrumbs While there are MANY online cash back programs they most rewarding referral program belongs to BigCrumbs.  When people follow your links to BigCrumbs and join, you get credit for the referral and earn cash each time they shop.

Ebates Another great cash back program that pays out quarterly.  Find the store you are looking for and see what % back they are offering.  Watch for the 'store of the day' which generally offers double the usual % back.

Swagbucks I recommend using swagbucks shopping program for stores that aren't available on the BigCrumbs site.  Between the two sites most of your online shopping should result in either cash back or points.


SIDENOTE:  Some stores offer 'in store pick up' and 'ship to store' as a same day service. This is a great way to shop online, get your online shopping rewards, avoid searching the store for your item and cut out long lines.... all without paying for shipping.

Words to live by

We always hear financial experts advising us to diversify our investments to minimize risk, but no one ever talks about diversifying income. I think it’s important to develop multiple streams of income to help guard against layoffs, and also to help you achieve your goals (paying down debt, saving for retirement) much faster than you could with just one income stream.  There are many side hustles to choose from. You really have to look at your strengths and skills to determine which is the best for you.
