You will Not get Rich from this…. Update…
Fathers Day 2009
So lets do an “Update”. It could be a weekly Wednesday thing or I might stick with my original plan of doing a weekly wrap up on Sundays ( it’s not a religious thing; trust me. ).
Instant Cash Sweepstakes, is definitely the hot topic the last couple weeks. Since I rediscovered and started promoting and talking about ICS, I’m seeing ads everywhere now. Where as, a couple weeks ago, this was one of those sleeper Free Money Sites that only a few of you “paid” attention to. Awesome, glad I could help. Also, very happy to get Eddy jumping on board and getting excited about Instant Cash Sweepstakes as well.
Speaking of Eddy ( Work at Home No Scams). Eddy introduced me to SwagBucks a few weeks ago. By simply changing my home page ( optional ) and doing all my searches I would normally do through SwagBucks instead of Google, I was able to redeem my earned “SwagBucks” for a nice little $5 paypal payment in just under a month.

…Sweet! Talk about Free Money… it doesn’t get any easier than that. Although I did have my heart set on redeeming my “bucks” for the official SwagBucks Tee shirt. I have a hard time resisting the opportunity to add some cash to my PayPal account. Maybe I’ll opt for the tee shirt as my next reward.
Link Grand has really become one of my favorite Paid to Click ( PTC ) programs. It’s simple, sustainable, and Now has two upgrade options; $10 yearly and $20 Lifetime. Of course Link Grand is totally Free to Join, and I was pretty damn happy with it when they didn’t offer the ( optional ) upgrades. I really like the fact the upgrade option is affordable and “NOT a monthly subscription”. Anyways, got my third $5 PayPal payment from them sometime last week. Perhaps it’s time I threw some ads out there and try to get that up to a weekly payment.
ClixSense of course, will probably be mentioned in every post I write. So why should this post be any different? The big news a couple weeks ago was the announcement that Alert Pay was and is, now accepted for upgrades and advertising. Although, I’m not a big Alert Pay user, I know a lot of you are. Monthly payments are still sent out the first of every month via check … …Update!!!…..Payouts can now be paid via Alert Pay .
Personally, I convert all my ClixSense earnings to advertising… but, I think this is really good news for those of you who can’t, for some reason connect a debit / C. Card to Google Check Out.
…hmmm, oh yeah!
I have a new official banner for this Blog that I’ve been keeping in circulation. Although it’s not my most creative, it is simple and seems to be getting some decent clicks. What do you guys think?
In closing. Ya know, a lot of you probably don’t share my taste in music. Growing up in the 80′s I was a big metal and punk fan. Over the years I’ve learned to appreciate “MOST” music. I’m a big TOOL fan! Love Mudvaynes first album, LD 50, but also dig more mellow stuff like Blind Melon, Pearl Jam ( Ten! ), old Blues, and Counting Crows. I’ve also become a big P.O.S. fan.
Enjoy this bit of inspiration and listen to the lyrics. Our lives are pretty damn busy and “Our Days don’t Care what we Got to Do”

Wanna help me focus? What would you like me to write about? I’m always open to suggestions.
ICS… puhleease! They will reward you if you have the exact same responses as some past time that a particular survey has come up. Thats like asking me to order the same meal each time I visit particular restaurant. They did explain that though… they said if there is the same survey that you should always answer the same because “the TRUTH is easy to remember”. That is when I asked to be removed from ICS because I do not appreciate being considered to be a liar.
Actually David, that’s not true. You are rewarded with tickets, coins and / or cash whenever you finish a very brief three question quiz. Right or Wrong answer’s do not decide whether you win or lose. Of course we all forget crap, so the “quiz police” are not going to come knocking on our door if we say we “liked summer” in one quiz and “cheese” the next. Of course our Trust Score ( TS ) goes up when we give the same responses to our previous answer’s. This allows us to earn the right to complete more short quizzes the higher our Trust Score.
Honestly though. Don’t over think ICS. It’s just a fun site that rewards us for taking part in simple and most often silly quizzes.
Thanks for the comment. Oh and if anyone ever calls you a liar because you forgot to give the correct answer. Let me know, I’ll drive to there house and drink all there beer.
Hi Phil!
I love the banner…I would definitely keep that in circulation.
Thanks for all the info on paid programs. Will check them out when I have time – yep, busy lives!

Finally! I was about to decide I was never going to get to read your blog again, I haven’t been able to get it to load in a couple of weeks. Took a long time today but it finally loaded for me.
I am all about LinkGrand right now and I’m not even upgraded (probably will before long tho). It has truly been superior for me this year and that’s a big step up from before, because I wasn’t really all that impressed with it up until the last year or so. It was “okay” but very slow going for me. I haven’t really had any dramatic change in referrals or anything (tho I have picked up a new advertiser and it’s someone you know, hehe) – it’s just been great for the past 9-10 months. Hope it stays that way.
Funny side story about ClixSense. I was overdue renewing my upgrade this year a little bit – maybe a week or two. Guess what? You know those hundreds of links you usually get when you upgrade for the very first time ever? Yep, got ‘em again. Just now got down to under 100 (it was 450+ first at first)!!!
I would say we need to catch up but I don’t have much to report, just lots and lots going on offline right now that’s been keeping me somewhat out of the loop the last couple of months – plus weeks of an unreal 100 degree heat wave that has flat out made me non-functional a lot of days – trying to get caught up now tho. Hope things have been good with you, talk soon!
@Lynne Sherman
Thanks for chiming in Lynn. I like the banner as well. Thinking about making the “subscribe” flash. I liked your last post on your blog, remind me to comment when I’m not half asleep and trying to reply to twenty comments and emails before bedtime.
@Lynn McCutcheon
Thanks for finally getting threw Lynn. Yeah, it’s been awhile, but I’ve been thinking about you. I’ll get a private email to you this weekend.
I’m really concerned that you are having a hard time accessing my blog. Wondering if others have that problem as well. Thanks for getting me thinking.
Of course you know I’m in your LinkGrand downline, but to be honest all I’ve been doing is clicking my ads everyday. Haven’t done alot of advertising. I have to disagree on Link Grand being a slow earner.
I joined instant cash a while back and have made decent money with it, but yesterday was the best day of all I won the 50.00 daily drawing so no one better tell me a bad thing about that site again cause I won’t be listening and I didn’t use my coins to buy extra tickets either in case anyone was wondering.
@timothy hillman
Awesome Tim!! Yeah I’m really glad I added ICS to my daily routine. Can’t wait to win my first daily draw.
when i won that i did find something out that i did not know if one of your referrals wins the 50.00 drawing so do you cause whoever i signed up under also got 50.00 for me winning so now id be extra happy if one of my friends wins too.
i knew whoever referred you got the matching winnings for the surveys, but i didn’t think that would apply to the bigger money drawings too so apparently I was wrong about that, but it certainly is a nice perk and I’d be happy anyway if one of my friends that I invited won, but now I’ll really be rooting for them, because as this proves we all have the same chances of winning it and I didn’t even cash in a bunch of coins to try to improve my chances so that really surprised me since you never would expect to win, but I am sure glad I did it really makes being a member worthwhile, especially since it doesn’t cost anything to be a member.
