When I first started Stash I was on the weekly auto invest plan, this was a bit too much for me so I moved it to monthly auto invest. You can still buy shares of stock at any time in-between, which I do often when opportunity arises to buy the dip. Unfortunately not every publicly traded company, ETF is available for trading at Stash, but I’m OK with that since I use other brokers along with Stash.

Also for being a member of Stash you get a debit card to buy whatever you want. When you use this card at a company that has a qualified stock with Stash, you’ll get a stock reward. So far the reward has been a whopping 1 cent for me each time. I bought some Starbucks coffee with it and that 1 cent has an 18% return on it so far. I’ll take it.

In summary, I plan on keeping my account with Stash as the $1 month fee is very affordable. I also haven’t seen any other fees when buying fractional shares of companies outside the auto invest periods. That’s a huge benefit as other brokers will still charge full price commissions on fractional share transactions. Join me, join Stash here to get the $20 in free stock!

How did I earn this payment? I referred some people and signed up on a few offers, my favorite being Stash (love fractional share investing). Of course I’ve been reading the paid emails for 2 cents a pop when I get a chance.

InboxDollars is not big money or anything, but it’s interesting to say the least.

ySense has made some changes recently. You can no longer click on ads to make money directly. Clicking on ads to make money was the easiest way to make money online with ySense. I have to admit I’m a little disappointed with their latest change. Now, signing up on offers is the way to make money. I guess this latest change was due to a lot of members scamming the ySense system. I can relate to that as there are a lot of hackers out there that would take advantage of any technical vulnerabilities out there. It’s sad I know.

Regardless of this, ySense remains to be a very legit company that really does want to act ethically to its members and reward them according to their terms and conditions.

Here is a copy of the latest check received from ySense:

You have to be patient when requesting a payment through ySense and many other online paid to click companies. I requested this check payment last month and finally received the check today. I pretty much forgot about it until I saw the check in the mail recently. I could’ve also used the money to advertise on ySense, but I chose not to because my last advertising experience was sub par with ySense. I can’t blame the results entirely on them, but I received a considerably less amount of signups from an ad I used a long time ago that previously produced an impressive amount of signups.

In conclusion, I still believe ySense is a very legitimate company to be a member of and is worth your time signing up for a free account. You will need to remain active with ySense in order to keep your earnings. This requires a login to their website about once a week to show you are a person of action. If you don’t log into their system about once a week your account will be in jeopardy of being set as inactive and your earnings will disappear. Not a very fun experience, trust me.

Please let me know of your personal experiences with ySense and if the free membership has been worth your while as it has been for me. If you never heard of ySense, please sign up and give them a try today.

Deleting an account for inactive members is common practice for many online businesses. Most, however, retain the member information so that the account could be reinstated with contacts/referrals and previous commission information accessible. That is not the policy of this website.

Sendearnings is unwise in its policy toward such inactive members. At the six months deadline, they eliminate any record of commissions earned and remove all referrals that were on file. Of course, they still benefit from those referrals, but if someone wants to re-establish their account, they start with nothing. This policy seems unfair in how it favors the company above its members. The good paid to sign up websites out there will make your account inactive, but they will not delete your account completely. This makes sense because inactive accounts weigh extra strains on the server’s resources. Sending out emails to inactive members is literally a waste of time.

Despite these findings, I still share the company on the website because they have paid me in the past. I’m just really shocked how they screw their members if they don’t remain 100% active with clicking on paid emails and filling out surveys.

My warning to you is to join Sendearnings to give them a try, but beware you account with all its earnings will be deleted if you do not remain active with them. This is completely ridiculous and the paid to sign up website has forever lost credibility with me.

Most of their surveys pay between $1.00 or $2.00, but every once in a while you’ll get a higher paying survey for something like $10.00. Their is a downside though. You won’t always qualify for every survey you take, but this is also a good thing because you shouldn’t qualify for every survey you attempt to take anyway. This is another sign of why Survey Savvy is a very legit survey Company.

Here is the payment proof below:

Survey Savvy proof of payment for $35.50.

You can join for free and refer your friends and family to Survey Savvy as well. Why not, I mean it’s free to join right? If you do refer someone, you’ll receive $1.00 for every completed survey they do. This is yet another reason to be a free member of Survey Savvy.

Take a look of this video from Survey Savvy doing a survey on who will win the super bowl. I know it is an old video, but the thing I like most about it is most of the people surveyed say the Saints will win. Nice!

I just opened up an account today and listed to one tune and gave a review and made a quick 12 cents. Yeah, I know $0.12 doesn’t sound like much but the tune was a good listen and the review really didn’t take too long to write. The only negative was that I had to write so much or else the system wouldn’t let me proceed and earn money.

It looks like once your account reached $10.00 you can ask for a withdrawal directly into your Paypal account. If you’re like me and will probably get tired of listening to music after a while you can also refer your friends and family and make a cut every time they do a review. It’s like giving yourself a little bit of leverage by just sharing this on Facebook.

Here is an interview with the founder of Slicethepie.com to get a better overview of the vision of the website and how you can profit from it.

You can also make money sharing the survey site with others you know. They are claiming you can make up to $25.00 per individual you refer. I guess that is what you could make over time if the individual you refer remains active in the site taking surveys. As I filled out my info the amount of money I made increased, cool!!!

The best thing a like about this survey site is how nicely it’s designed and the sign up process was really easy. They make good use of ajax making the sign up process really smooth.

Apparently you can cash in on your profits once your account makes it to $15.00 in earnings and they paid via Paypal. Hope this site makes you some good money online.

I’ve been really busy these days with a new investment in real estate (I’ll do a post on it later) so I’ve had this post on my list of things to do for a little while now.

Without further delay, take a look at the payment proof below:

Squishy Cash proof of payment for $83.64.

Squishy Cash has various ways to make money online through different offers and clicking on and viewing ads. So take advantage of this free opportunity right away. The best part is the ability to earn from others you refer.

Squishy Cash is also really good with not deleting their inactive members. So many “get paid to do stuff online” opportunities make the silly mistake of deleting inactive members having the ignorance of believing busy people in this world really should be able to constantly be logging into their website at least once every one to six months.

It’s a good and bad thing really. It does help keep their databases clean and gets rid of scam sign ups, but the unfortunate thing is that it deletes legitimate members as well. The worst part about sites that do this is they also delete the inactive member’s earnings as well. This is what really sucks the most for people like me and you.

Well, anyway, Squishy Cash never deleted my account and I really respect them for that. This means that they won’t delete your account for not being active so sign up with them right away. I will also promote the Squishy Cash website as long as they keep rewarding me like they promised. Don’t forget about the $5.00 sign up bonus as well.

Have you ever heard of a debit card company hooking you up with a free sign up bonus? Yeah, you might have, but I think joining Net Spend is a smart move and it really doesn’t cost you anything. The only catch is that you have to put $40.00 on your debit card in order to get the sign up bonus.

The good news is that it works, here is a screenshot of my referral sign up bonus I got last week.

There is more good news. If you refer other people you know you can also get another $20.00 referral bonus again and again. No limits as far as I know.

Of course the only downside is that when you use your card you will have to pay fees every time or choose to be billed on the monthly option and use all you want. This makes sense, because the Net Spend needs to make a profit, right?

You can simply refer others and once your balance gets high enough withdrawal the cash at an ATM or buy something with it. It’s your choice. Hope you join me on this venture.

I made a healthy 11% return in only a 5 month time period. Try getting a return like that in a CD.
Out of the 9 liens I own, (remember, I am new to this type of market) only 1 of them has redeemed and 1 of them was paid off before the actual date of the auction, so that one is in process of being refunded to me.

My whole goal with these liens is to accumulate as many as I can, reinvesting the ones that redeem which compounds your interest payments over time, etc.. Just imagine if you had a $100,000 portfolio of tax liens and you simply averaged about 12% a year. That’s $12,000 a year in profits and you never know if you’ll end up with a title to one of these properties as well.

My simple criteria for choosing which tax liens to invest in starts by finding a property I can actually view on Zillow. Then I want to make sure that the property is at least worth $100,000 or more. Then I’ll make a list and drive by all the potential properties and bid on which ones I think are the best.

Of course there is always more due diligence you’ll have to go through as well like being aware of any other tax liens on the property and if there are any IRS liens as well.

If you are interested in getting started with investing in tax liens in the United States I would recommend starting in your local area. Not every state offers tax liens, some only do tax deeds and others do both, so do your research.

I look forward to investing in this asset class for the rest of my life now that I’ve received my first profit.

Best of luck to you out there.
