Contest#1

A couple of days ago I posted about my goals for this month and one of the items on my action list was to finally do a contest to help generate traffic. Here is it! And because I just recently found a nice way to make some change on the side by reading articles the objective of this contest is also set.
The winner of the contest will be determined by who can make the most money via readbud in two weeks. What is the prize for the lucky winner...because as we all know there can be only one. Whoever wins will get:

• A 125x125 link banner on this blog until the end of september
• 1000 Entrecard credits

If you want to take part in this contest all you have to do is make a short blogpost about the contest on your blog whichs shows your current readbug balance (so people who already made some money there don't have an advantage) and then leave a comment here with a link to this post. On saturday in two weeks you should make another post on your blog showing how much you earned until then.
I'll do a shoutout on my blog to the top five and how much they made and the first will receive the prize. Good luck to all of you!!

Update: The first three joining the contest will receive 400 ECs each just for joining.

Read articles to earn money

Some might already know that option but I just discovered this easy way to earn some money today. There is no startup cost and you don't need to provide any private details besides an email address.

All you have to do is read some articles and rate them between 1 and 5 stars depending how well written they were.
You can choose between different topics from which you like to read articles. I found about 1/3 of the articles I read so far really interesting and useful. So I actually enjoyed reading them. Very few where really bad and sometimes hard to read. But it really is a good way to get some interesting ideas from the topic you have choosen which might even help you for own posts.
And as I already said you get paid to do it. Here is the payment structure which depends on the number of lines the text has:

• Under 100 : 1 cent
• Between 101 and 200 : 2 cents
• Between 201 and 300 : 3 cents
• Between 301 and 400 : 4 cents
• Between 401 and 500 : 5 cents
• Between 501 and 600 : 6 cents
• Between 601 and 700 : 7 cents
• Between 701 and 800 : 8 cents
• Between 801 and 900 : 9 cents
• Between 901 and 1500 : 10 cents
• Between 1501 and 2000 : 15 cents
• Over 2000 : 20 cents

So what are you waiting for sign up now...it's free and easy.
