Lesson 4: Neobux

This site holds a lot of promise to me. It is a PTC (Paid-to-Click) site that has been around for a year and a half.

Here's the premise: you click on an ad, you watch it for 30 seconds, you make a penny. You get about 5 ads per day to watch. You also get paid for the clicks that your referrals make. Here's the cool part though. You can pay to rent referrals to earn money for you. What you pay is less than what you earn, so you make money by spending it. It is a slow to start program, but has the potential for long-term big money earnings.

It also has a forum full of helpful members with tips on how to succeed.

It's free to join, and definitely worth the time. Join now.

Lesson 3: When you should ignore me

When you have a paper due, and you can't focus on typing it up because you just want to visit all your fun sites instead.

School is awesome.

Lesson 2: Lockerz

Lockerz.com is a new site that is in beta. You have to have an invitation to join.
Because of that, there is a small population of people who are using this site right now, which means that Lockerz can offer awesome prizes for very cheap, since the demand hasn't skyrocketed yet.

It is an easy, easy site to use. Each time you login, you get 2 pointz. Answer the question of the day, you get 2 pointz. Refer a friend, get 2 pointz. Refer 20 friends, you get double points on everything for a year.

The pointz add up to get you free stuff. I've been a member for probably about 2 months and can already afford either a Wii Fit or an IPod Nano - 250 PTZ. Personally, I'm saving up for a macbook though. And at 1000 PTZ, that is not too bad.

Lesson 1: Swagbucks

Here is my first love of optimizing the internet: getting free stuff for searching. Everyone searches. Heck, I use my search bar instead of my address bar most of the time.

Swagbucks is the best website I have found for earning rewards for searching. Every time you search, you get great Google-based results, but you also get the chance to win swagbucks.

Swagbucks are an online currency used to purchase real rewards from the Swagbucks online store. Just from searching and free swagcodes, I have gotten 10 $5 Amazon gift cards. I think this is the most worthwhile prize there, but there are lots of fun options to suit anyone's tastes.

I definitely recommend this site, as it doesn't take any extra time that you wouldn't already be using to search for free anyway. Try it out today and get 3 free swagbucks!

Why are we here?

I've learned in the last few years as a poor graduate student how to make my free time more efficient. Specifically, for me, I've learned how to optimize my web usage to make me money and earn rewards. I hope to use this blog to share this content with you, so that you can get free stuff while enjoying your time online.
