The concept “make money online” has been pushed to its limits in the past year. New ideas are springing up everywhere and everyone is trying to get in on the action. One of the newest and most exciting ways of making money that I have found, is the ability to make money by searching. Now the reason that this is so appealing is because I complete a number of searches everyday anyways, and this service actually pays me every time I do so.

Sign-Up Link: MySearchFunds
Concept: Make money every time you search by using the ASK search engine.
Installation: Add another “search engine” in your search box located in Firefox, IE7, etc…
Pay: The conversion from Euros to US currency is about 3-4 cents per search.
Usual Revenue: Every 25 searches is about $1 so you’ll usually make $30-$120 a month.
Payment Method: Check or PayPal.
Location: Works in over 160 countries.
Experience: I have been payed twice and am very happy with the service thus far. I complete about 50 searches daily and therefore make about $2 . I have cashed out twice, once for $56 and the other time for $65. I have actually started to like ASK search engine much better than Google’s search engine because of some of the extra features it provides.

It is really easy to sign up. I would suggest that everyone at least give the service a try!

Moola is a revolutionary new site, that pays its users to play games, search, and complete offers. You do not have to spend any money to start, because they give you 1 cent for joining, and another cent every time your account runs out of money. Every time you win a game, you double your money. If you double your money 30 times in a row, you get $10,737,418. This is no scam folks, the money to pay you comes from video adverts that you have to watch every time you play.

This service is truly extraordinary! I cannot even put in words the imagination that these guys have, I mean their slogan is “Business Card 2.0″. I don’t know whether it refers to the power of Web 2.0 or the business card reinvented, but either way I’m stunned. Entrecard is a must for anyone trying to boast both awareness and traffic. Let’s go further into detail.

What is Entrecard?

Entrecard is a service that allows you to advertise on other peoples websites, but instead of using cash, you use EC which is the currency over at Entrecard. Once you register, you are given code to install on your website. What this does is installs a little widget which displays others ads. In order to put an ad on my website, you would need a certain amount of EC. There are a two ways to get these EC points. Whenever someone drops a card on my widget I get a point, and whenever I drop a card on someone else’s widget I get point. Because of this, everyone wins!

If you’re anything like me and spend a lot of time on the internet, you probably know by now that ijji.com is one of the top few games sites out there. It’s even the 557′th most visited site on the web, according to Alexa Traffic Ratings, and for a great reason.

If you’re into online multiplayer games, ijji has an INCREDIBLE selection, and best of all, they’re all free! You create a free account with ijji, which literally takes 30 seconds, and all the games become available to you for nothing but a quick, free download.

Hulu, just like YouTube, is a site that streams videos. It has one major difference though, and that is the fact that it hosts premium content, and is 100% legal. What I mean by premium content, is real full length episodes of TV shows. No joke folks, this is for real!

How do they do it?

It’s common sense that a service can’t just get out there, and legally offer free content, especially television shows. What they do is put a 10 second ad at the beginning and then about every 8 minutes (approximate, but it is actually dependent on the video length) they play a new ad. These ads are all videos, and are in the flash player itself. As for the layout, it is ad free apart from a little ad in the top right corner that shows the last sponsor that the player showed.

Deviating from the recent trend of posts all related to making money through domain names and whatnot, I have decided to write a a review on iPod Games. More specifically, a single iPod Game by the name of “Phase.” The majority of people have probably never heard of this game, and it’s quite a shame. Phase is very similar to Guitar Hero (Harmonix developed it, the same company that was active in developing GH and Rock Band) - it relies on split-second timing and beat/sound recognition.

For those of you who use StumbleUpon regularly, and have chosen music as an interest, you are probably well aware of this service. However for the rest of you, I have written this neat little review to introduce you to the service, as well as explain a little bit about it.

To put it plainly, Musicovery is really a service for musical exploration, for finding new songs that are extremely similar to your favorites. The service allows you to narrow your search by style, genre, mood, decade, tempo and more. It starts you off with a random song based on your preference and then stems out into other songs that are similar to the previous one in title, content, inspiration, and many other factors.

Let Them Sing It For You is a service that came out in ‘05. I heard about it on the radio when I was down in Canada for winter vacation.

How It Works

The service has an inventory of millions of clips. Each clip is assigned to a word. The clips are created from the places in the songs where that word was said by the artist. Therefore, when you have a sentence, it will be a compilation of many different songs where each artist says a different word in the tone of their voice.

Share With Friends and Family

It is way too much fun to mess around with this service, and I highly suggest that check you it out. It only takes minute and will add some fun to your life. This is something that you should definitely share with friends and family because you don’t have to sign up and you can get started right away.

Last.fm, an online music network owned by CBS, has launched a new on demand service that allows its users to listen to the tunes that they want, when the want. It is a music community, in the sense that it allows you to find people who have the same taste in music as yourself. The most interesting feature in the service, is that it learns what you like and not only suggest other artists, but creates charts along with a load of other personalized features.

The fastest way get started is to create a account, and then to download and install the plug-in for your proffered music player (if it is supported). The software currently works with the most popular OS’s; PC, Mac, and Linux.

Sadly this won’t replace your radio anytime soon, since an internet connection is required.

As I earlier stated, the software learns as you listen. Within a couple of days when you have listened to enough songs, the service will start putting other listeners into your neighborhood, who have smiler interests as you. In addition, you will be able to snoop around and see what your friends have been listening to.

My experience with this service thus far has been very good, I have found myself being opened up to a whole new world of music, and a whole new way of finding it. I would most definitely suggest checking it out, that is if you have the time.

Qtrax is a brand new service that is planning to revolutionize the music industry. It allows you to download the songs that you want for free, but it comes with a twist. All the songs have DRM (digital rights management) on them, and to make things even worse, you will only be able to play the music using the Qtrax software. Say goodbye the use of any portable media player, or separate music management programs.

They support themselves and the free use of the copyrighted songs by filling up their service with advertisements. This will in turn generate a whole lot of revenue (depending on the amount of users), allowing them to easily pay off the major studios.

Personally, I don’t find it that appealing due to the fact that I’m willing to pay 15 dollars a month for the use of an unlimited amount of songs. It’s even less appealing because my iPod is something that is very important to me, and something that I use often. What’s even more is the fact that you can already easily listen to songs online through YouTube and plenty other services. The only noticeable difference is the fact that you can make libraries of songs, but the advertisements don’t make it worth the hassle. This service definitely has a long way to go, but it’s a good start and something you should definitely keep your eye on.
