NewsDemon - 1 Month Free/Unlimited

without comments

While looking for another newsgroup provider, I found out that Newsdemon has a promotion where they are giving you one month free in return for writing about them in your blog. I said, eh, what the heck, why not? After using usenetserver.com for a few excruciating months, I needed something better. Usenetserver.com was horrible; I could never connect on the first try, lots of timeouts, and lots of incomplete files. I came from using Giganews, so I guess I was a bit spoiled, but the $30/month price swayed me from renewing.

I ended up doing a Google search for “best usenet provider” and ran into Newsdemon. Their prices are reasonable and their reviews were good. There’s a 20% off coupon code for life floating around on the internet to make the prices even better! I’m hoping to try this provider and see if they really provide what they say. After a bad experience with usenetserver.com, I really need something new.

Great Way to Earn $20-$50+ a Day

without comments

I was looking around the net on various forums for various ways to make money. A few months ago, I had posted about doing surveys and offers in return for cash. Surveys can be a little cumbersome, but I have found a MUCH quicker site to get paid.

CashCrate.com

Unlike the other survey sites, this website pays you to complete very short website signups and surveys. Also, a good number (about 90%) of the offers are free with no credit card needed. Here’s a screenshot of what I made in only 30 minutes. Imagine what you could make if you dedicated just an hour or two a day.

Also, here’s a screenshot that I took of the offers. This screenshot is not old, it was taken today, right before this article was posted. Look at the payouts and how easy the offers/signups are!

Here’s another tip for those who would like to try this program out: Get Firefox and install the “Autofill” extension. This will allow you to fill out forms extremely quickly and automatically. In turn, this allows you to fill out more offers/signups which results in more money. So, what have you got to lose? Fill out a few surveys or signups a day and you’ll get a nice check for it at the end of the month.

Alternatively, you can use the Firefox link below to download Firefox with the Google Toolbar. The Google Toolbar has a nice auto-fill feature which will accomplish the same task as the “Autofill” extension.
