small time money makers

Here is a small list of some small time money makers. Nothing to get rich over night but all require minimum time investment. Some of them are even more of a fun activity (where you do not a website or blog). So here we go:

king.com
king.com is a site where you can play various games for small amounts of money. You can also play for fun if you do not feel like playing for money. Or just play the daily freerolls where you can win money without risking any of your own. I just made a cashout of $45 by strictly playing freerolls and the two games I like the most (chuzzle and bejeweled 2). You can either play single games or large tournaments. Not something to get rich but if you like to play some small fun games anyway why not there and get paid to do so.


entrecard
I guess everybody already knows about entrecard but some weeks ago they started their paid ads and you can now also exchange your entrecard credits for real cash. And it is really easy to get credits. For every entrecard you receive or give away you receive one credit. By dropping alone you can earn up to 300 credits each day. And you will also get credits for displaying other sites card on your blog or site. This way even small sites will low traffic volume can make some cash on the side.


moola
Last but not least moola. Moola is a mixed bag of all different kind of things. Mostly it is a playing site like king but with only a handful of games. These games all have a lot higher element of chance than the ones at king.com. The basic concept is that you always play one on one and might double your investment. You will get your first penny from moola (and every time you drop to zero you will get another one). With that first penny you can start doubling by playing or earn cash by doing surveys or participating in cash back programs listed on moola.

Moola - Get rich by doubling pennies

I just registered with Moola. What is Moola ?
Well Moola is a site that gives you a penny and the opportunity to double it until you want to withdraw the fortune you made :-)
They will give you a penny and you can double your money by playing different games versus other people and their penny. You can play Hi-Lo, Roshambo and Gold Rush. Each time you will gamble with all the money in your play account to hopefully double it. If you drop back to zero Moola will give you a new penny to start with.
You can also do surveys to increase your bank roll.
The site is earning money by showing ads and you can withdraw your winnings either by check or paypal. I guess it is no way to get big (as promised by the ladder they show) but it is a nice website to play some fun games for money.

Entrecard

I finally joined Entrecard...I cause you don't know what Entrecard is here is a quick sum up.
Entrecard is your business card on the web. You can drop your card on other blogs to let them know you are around. Everytime you drop a card or someone drops a card at your blog you receive entrecard credits.
You can use this credits to buy ad space at other blogs. This is a simple and cheap way to get advertised on big and well known blogs. Even the famous Johnchow still has the Entrecard widget on his blog. So if you collect (or buy) enough credits you may even buy a little space on his blog.
On the other hand you can of course earn credits yourself by showing ads from other users. That is a good and simple way to swap traffic with blogs about similar topics. The amount of credits you collect for showing anothers logo depends on the number of people who want to advertise on your site. If 3 people are in the waiting list for your blog it costs them 2*2*2 = 8 credits to buy this spot.
1000 credits are currently traded for $ 3-4 on ebay. So that is already money in the bank if you don't want to advertise on other sites. But for small blogs in think it is best to reinvest your credits and buy some advertisment on a blog with the same topic and alot of traffic.
My next step is to design a nice logo which gets more attention then the standard design provided by Entrecard. Feel free to drop me your card and i'll have a look at your site ;-)

Getting a (writing) routine

With blogging/writing it's just like with all other things in life if you don't have a fixed routine youmight get distracted and go off doing other things....or just hang around and do nothing.
"The time it takes to finish a product will stretch to fill the time to the deadline"
...And if you don't have a deadline that might be forever. So if you don't have specify a time by which you will have something done you might be never starting....Always other occupations will be more important. That's why you should have a fixed routine for important stuff...Just like on a job. So stick to the same time each day or on a specific day in the week to write your blog posts. Or set a time frame by which you want to have finished X posts so you only have to put them online.
Time management is key in many parts of life....so use yours wisely.

OneBuckWiki

Some time back i posted about the FiveDollarWiki. Max was offering free pages for a link to his project. Now he gave me five pages to his new project, the OneBuckWiki. Each page only costs one single buck....at least for the first 1000 pages. The price increases after 1000 pages sold by 10 dollar. So right now after ~1500 pages sold each new page costs $10.
I made a page about DealDotCom and it is doing pretty good. I will post about the other 4 pages soon. Well two of them are reserved for future projects so that might take a while.

New Design of the DealDotCom Widget ready

The new design of the javascript widget for DealDotCom is finally ready. It's really looking great (thx to dubaischeich. don't be afraid of the link...it's all good). The colors match the new DDC scheme and the 3d look with the round corners is really so more up to date.
I hope you also like the new look ? And keep in mind within the next couple of days there will also be a wide version of the widget. Kind of a banner version.
