Multiple Streams
2 Easy Cash Generating Programs
to Add to Your Portfolio of Income Streams
Businesses appreciate getting honest feedback about their products and services from ordinary consumers like you and me. One popular method of conducting this research is through consumer survey panels and opinion polls. Participating in these surveys is a fun and easy way to generate some cash!
One of my favorite survey sites is American Consumer Opinion®. They always award points (which are redeemable for cash) when you complete a survey. Just for answering a screener (a short survey), you will receive 10 to 50 points. Incentives for longer surveys typically range from 100 to 1,000 points. I’m always happy to see an email with a survey invitation from American Consumer Opinion® because I know that I will be compensated for my time and effort.
Once you have earned at least 1,000 points, you can redeem them for cash or make a donation to your favorite charity. One point is equal to one penny, so 1,000 points are worth $10.00. Currently, the only method of payment is by check, but that’s fine by me. It’s nice to be rewarded for expressing my opinion!
American Consumer Opinion® is open to everyone all over the world and has received an A+ rating from the BBB. Membership in American Consumer Opinion® is free. They will never ask you to buy anything or pay any fees. Keep in mind that you should never pay a fee to join a survey program.
Do you Twitter? You can get paid to sponsor a tweet. That’s right! Your Twitter account can be a nice income stream.
Sponsored Tweets is an advertising platform that benefits both advertisers and publishers (aka tweeters). Advertisers want to pay you to deliver their marketing message. And publishers (other tweeters just like you) are earning money by sponsoring tweets. You can too!
This program is simple, free to use, fun and, best of all… profitable! Read more about making money with Sponsored Tweets and your Twitter account.
With a little research, you should be able to find legitimate programs to make money online – from home or from anywhere that you can access the Internet.

Extra Cash for Christmas
and Beyond
Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time.

The advantages of a home based business are evident. Looking at today’s trends in the economy, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the era of large companies offering jobs for life has ended. It’s time to have the courage to bet on yourself again, and a home based business is a good way to do so.
Here are five ways to earn some quick cash to help pay for presents or even help with the monthly bills.
Microworkers. When you sign up on this site, you will immediately be able to browse all available jobs. Almost all of these tasks are simple and can be completed quickly, thus the term “micro” jobs.
Types of jobs posted here include simple sign-ups, website visits, social bookmarking tasks, forum participation, rating videos or articles, voting up contest entries, adding comments, writing reviews or articles, and many others. You may choose to withdraw your pay via Payza or Moneybookers when your earnings reach $9.
i-Say. Join the i-Say panel and earn reward points by creating polls, taking surveys, and sharing your thoughts on products and services you use every day. There are also contests, draws, and monthly points giveaways. Read more about the reward programs here.
Points add up fast, and you can cash them in for American Express gift cards, Amazon gift codes and more. You can donate your earnings to charities like Red Cross. You can even redeem your reward points for cash. PayPal is an option too, and you can redeem for as little as 1,500 points!
SideTick. Social networking on the web is a fun way to stay in touch with friends and family all over the world. Some sites, like SideTick, will pay you to participate!
SideTick uses a point system they call Tickbucks. They’re sort of like frequent flyer miles. The more you participate, the more Tickbucks you earn. Best of all, you redeem them for REAL CA$H.*
Before I forget, let me mention that SideTick, like every other site listed in this post, is free to sign up and use. In fact, you earn a dollar just for signing up.
*You must live in one of these countries: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Israel.
Unique Rewards. Members earn real cash doing what they like to do! Get paid for signing up for free offers, visiting websites, reading e-mails, shopping online, referring friends, and more. Cash rewards are paid through PayPal or by check. There is no minimum payment amount to get paid via PayPal.
Swagbucks. Do you search for stuff online? Of course you do! Do you get paid for searching the web?? If you’re using the search box on Swagbucks you do! Earn Swag Bucks by taking part in activities such as: searching the web, taking surveys, voting in the daily polls, watching videos, finding swag codes, completing special offers, trading in books and video games, and more. The Swag Bucks you earn can be redeemed for merchandise, gift cards, or cash through PayPal.
The internet is an excellent avenue for anyone desiring to create some additional income. Whether it’s extra money for Christmas or just the weekly groceries… it all adds up.

Social Networking for Fun and Profit
SOCIAL NETWORKING on the web is a fun way to stay in touch with friends and family all over the world. Of course, it was quickly adopted by business-minded individuals, too.
A boon to home based businesses, social networking sites have opened doors to greater levels of financial success for entrepreneurs.
Although social media actually started out as a bit of a novelty, it has turned into a game changing force in the world of commerce. Social media is instant communication. We listen to and engage with friends and followers in real time, making new friends along the way.
Social networking has brought the PERSONAL touch back into BUSINESS style!
This low cost method of marketing gives us the ability to make people aware of opportunities to buy products or services that they desire rather than trying to sell people things they don’t want.
Networking is a fantastic way to build trust and an emotional bond in our relationships with customers and friends alike.
Now there’s an added benefit to social networking. Some sites will pay you to participate! An extra income is a very welcome incentive in these uncertain economic times.
My favorite of these sites where you can be a social butterfly and get paid for it is SideTick.
Here’s how SideTick works:
SideTick uses a point system they call Tickbucks. They’re sort of like frequent flyer miles. The more you participate, the more Tickbucks you earn. Best of all, you redeem them for REAL CA$H.
Before I forget, let me mention that SideTick is free to sign up and use. That means that it will not cost you one penny to sign up – ZERO cost – and you can start earning immediately. In fact, they give you a dollar just for signing up.
How to earn a minimum of $15 per month on SideTick:
To earn at least $15 a month on SideTick, simply follow these two steps every day:
Step 1: Participate in daily discussions. Simply leave a comment on Jenny’s Blog before midnight every day.
Step 2: Check your SideTick inbox daily (before midnight) and open any messages from SideTick.
Just by commenting on Jenny’s blog question every day, you will earn $15 a month. That won’t take more than 5 or 10 minutes. But it’s easy to make more $$ if you want to. In my first month I made $33. I know that’s not a lot, but it helps buy the groceries or pay a bill.
How to Earn on SideTick
$ Earn 2,000 points (aka Tickbucks) when you sign up. 2,000 Tickbucks = $1
$ Every friend or referral who joins SideTick through your personalized link = 2,000 Tickbucks
$ Check your SideTick inbox daily and post a comment on Jenny’s blog = 1,000 Tickbucks
$ Create content to share with the community. Every visit = Tickbucks
Every time someone views your content, you earn Tickbucks. And, every time you look at someone’s content (photos, blog posts, polls, etc) you earn Tickbucks.
So, start a blog and post to it as often as you like, upload photos to your albums, create polls, vote on polls, upload music, join groups and start your own group. You will find these and other ideas under the Applications and Explore tabs at the top of the page in SideTick.
$ Every person who joins SideTick through your friend’s personalized link = 500 Tickbucks
So to re-cap, when someone accepts your invitation to join SideTick, you earn Tickbucks. In addition, you get paid on any members added through your friends.

Create Multiple Streams of Passive Income
. . with Affiliate Marketing
Remember when Johnny Carson did Karnac the Magnificent? (That is, if you’re old enough to remember Carson.) I can still see him wearing that turban and holding an envelope.
Concentrating his mystic power, Karnac would pretend to deduce the contents of that envelope. Tonight, Karnac the Magnificent might say something like this: “what the economy and whitewater rafting have in common.”
Without a doubt, our businesses and lives are still feeling the turbulence. Our best course of action is to continue taking solid steps in the direction of our goals and dreams.
You just need to listen to the news to be reminded that employment doesn’t work as a reliable income source these days and the term ‘job security’ has become an oxymoron. Today’s buzz is all about creating multiple streams of income to support financial success. I completely agree with the concept and if you’re reading, you probably do, too.
A few years ago, I began researching the idea of starting a home-based business and earning a living working for myself from home. I bought books and took a few courses, making a vital investment in educating myself. Still, the questions remained, “But where do I literally start? What do I do first?”
I offer you these recommendations – some of my favorites – with the hope that you will find the helpful guidance you need to create profitable streams of internet income and realize your financial freedom.
The One Week Marketing Guide is a beautifully organized action plan that you can follow to get your internet marketing business up and running!
This program will teach you how to set up successful campaigns online that generate traffic and sales. You will learn the basics and (what may be even more important) how to put all the pieces together.
The One Week Marketing Guide takes the guesswork and frustration out of making money online by providing you with a daily action plan, in simple steps, that you can follow.
Another big plus of this system is that if you’re on a tight budget (and who isn’t these days) you will learn how to leverage free-to-use web properties on the internet so that you can get started with no money out of pocket.
The Super Affiliate Handbook is an in-depth guide to building a successful affiliate marketing website. Everything from basic equipment and software requirements, to choosing the right merchant partners and getting massive quantities of targeted traffic to your web site is covered.
In a style that is friendly and humorous, the Super Affiliate Handbook is peppered with real examples of what Rosalind did to become one of the most recognizable Super Affiliates in the world. And she doesn’t just tell you what she did right — she exposes the mistakes she made as well — to help you avoid potential problems.
Ros describes the systems she uses to generate conversion rates of between 2.5% and 6% promoting other people’s stuff as an affiliate marketer.
By far, my biggest stumbling block in creating a successful web business was knowing exactly what to do and how to put it all together. What comes first? What to do next? How do I organize my time and develop a schedule?
Lots of knowledge + no action = zero $$. This is not what we want!
Don’t get caught up in the paralysis of analysis and have nothing more than a spinning head to show for all your hours of work.
If you feel, like I did, that you would benefit from a ‘step-by-step what-to-do-next do-this-do-that’ plan of attack – then this book is for you! Create Your First Website By 3:45 This Afternoon is a FREE step-by-step guide. It includes videos and screenshots! You can pick up your free copy by clicking here.

Tired of Trading Hours for Dollars?
Multiple Streams of Internet Income =
the answer to a lifetime of unlimited wealth!
Why Multiple Streams?
It was a far different world back in the 1950s. Dad went to work and Mom stayed at home to raise the kids. The family ate dinner together. Dad traded in the car every year for a new model and the neighbors came over to admire it. One income was plenty for a family to live well.
Today, families need two incomes…and they still struggle with the bills. If one income gets wiped out by a job layoff, it can be devastating. We need to find ways to diversify our revenue sources, supporting ourselves with income streams that we can own and relying less on wages from a J.O.B. (Just Over Broke).
Building multiple income streams is the way to achieve financial freedom.
Don’t get stuck on somebody else’s treadmill.
Prosperous people have always known that not all income streams are created equal.
So, I ask you: Do you know the difference between linear and residual income?
Put it another way: How many times do you get paid per hour? Yes, you read that right. Not how much do you get paid per hour, but how many times are you paid for every hour that you work?
Salaries are linear because you are paid only once for your effort. If your clients go out of business, or decide they don’t need your services…if you want to go on vacation, or if you get sick and can’t work . . . the money stops coming in. If you don’t show up for work, your paycheck doesn’t either. You are, in effect, trading hours for dollars.
I don’t like that arrangement. It does not offer financial security or the freedom to call my time my own. After all my work, I would have built nothing. That’s not what I want. Not what you want either, I’m sure.
The gold rush of the 21st century
On the other hand, residual income pays you many times over for every single hour of work that you do. Residual income (also called passive or recurring income) compensates you over time for work done one time. An example would be the additional income from royalties earned by artists, writers, and musicians.
Here is another example. Affiliate programs that pay you recurring commissions reward you for the lifetime of the customer. Not only do you earn a commission on the initial sale, but you will continue to earn recurring commissions for as long as that customer remains active. Now that’s what I call building for the future!
There are many exciting ways of building multiple income streams while working from home or from anywhere that you have an internet connection.
What I’m about to share is a proven system that you can use to literally start generating totally passive income. If you can cut and paste, you can get your online business going (and profitable) right away with the ClickBank Pirate system. You can learn more about the ClickBank Pirate system by visiting this page. Disclosure: Compensated ClickBank Pirate Affiliate.
You can be sure that I’ll be talking about more ways to create profitable streams of internet income in future posts!
