Big Brother

It is that time of year again! I am not a big fan of reality TV shows but one of them that I do watch is on CBS and it is called Big Brother.

Big brother is a show that puts 13 house guests together in a house and eliminates one by one. It is taken place in California. In the house they do not have TV, radio, telephone, and a lot of other electronic items that we all have today.

How it works out is that every week there is a competition that the house guests are in to see who the head of household is. Referred to a lot on the show as HOH. The competition can be anything from answer questions, to endurance competition, to athletic and so on. Whoever wins the competion wins HOH and is the most powerful person currently in the house. You can not be HOH for two weeks in a row.

When you are HOH you have your own private bedroom with doors that locks. (that no other room has), you have a TV in the bedroom which is used for security so you can spy on your fellow houseguests. The main responsibility is to nominate two people for eviction. These are two people for whatever reason you may not want in the house. Just like any other reality show where people get eliminated there are alliances where people will hook up to get farther in the game. So you may try to break up alliances if you are the HOH.

After they nominate two people there will be the next competition which is the Power of Veto. There is where the two nominations and the HOH, and three random house guests will play for the power of veto. Just like the HOH there is a competition and whoever wins has this power. If you win the power of Veto you are able to take yourself off of the block, or someone else. If you take someone else off the HOH is unable to place you on the block.

When you take someone off the block the HOH must place someone else on the block.

Then the people in the house will vote for who they want to go home. This is done in private so no one knows who is voting for who. Whoever receives the most votes will be sent home.

This goes on till there is one person left standing. The winner will receive $500,000.

While you may not make $500,000 on cashcrate.com, cashcrate allows you to earn extra spending money. On cashcrate you are able to play games, do surveys, and much more. It is a great way to earn some extra cash!

Facebook

Nowadays almost everyone has a facebook account. Maybe not everyone but a lot of people do and it is growing every day.

Facebook starting to take off in about 2005. I remember it was my last year at college and my second semester. Someone was like join facebook and be my friend. Back then it wasn’t as known and popular as today. I started off and I probably had maybe 20 friends by the end of the month.

Back then not everyone knew what facebook was, or they thought it was just a fad and it wouldn’t last that long. But today, I walk down the street all the time and hear people say facebook. Be my friend, I’ll put it on facebook, facebook this facebook that. It is actually a little comical.

Also back there was the big two. Myspace and Facebook. More people were on Myspace and less of facebook. Myspace is still around, but is nowhere near facebook.

Facebook oftens changes it settings and looks. A lot of people get upset when this happens. It always seems to happen when people just get used to the new setting.

For those of you living under a rock the last five years. Facebook is a social networking site. It allows you to connect with other users and share information about yourself. You can put up pictures, give likes, play games, give updates of what you are doing and so much more. It keeps growing and growing and so much is going on with it.

Make sure that you use facebook responsibily. Do not put up things or say things you do not want others to see. If you are going for a job interview some companies look at profiles to see who this person really is. So if they see a picture of you passed out drunk or saying things you shouldn’t you may not get the job.

I use facebook to connect with old friends that I haven’t seen in years. It is nice just to say hi and see what everyone is up too. To reconnect and share some old memories. I also play a lot of Mafia Wars. Its a game on there that is just addicting. Even though I keep telling myself that all I am doing is clicking buttons.

So enjoy facebook but use it right. It can do a lot of good. Let the world know what is going on and help put a smile on someones face. Facebook is one of the most viewed websites in the world. You can meet people from all over the world.

I visit facebook everyday. Another website that I vist a lot is cashcrate.com. At cashcrate you are able to do surveys, games, fill out questioners to earn extra money. It is free and you they pay every month. Please check out cashcrate and earn money like me!

Optimize Your Time: How to Make the Most out of CashCrate

CashCrate is one of the easiest ways to make money in your free time. Fill out some surveys, work in front of the TV (I like to watch Telemundo at the same time to practice my Spanish), set your own hours, and then get a plump check at the end of the month. Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it?

Unfortunately, for too many people, it is too good to be true. For them, CashCrate is certainly the easiest way to make money, but it’s not the most efficient. Their surveys aren’t crediting. They make pocket change for hours of work. The same companies keep coming up. Whatever the reason, these CCers aren’t making as much as they could, and eventually get fed up and quit while other members (the ones with the know-how) are making hundreds of dollars a month, possibly in less time.

Essentially, there are strategies that separate the successful CCers, whose incomes have shot skyward, from the newbies, who haven’t even made it off the launching pad. I’ve listed several tips and tools below so you can fully optimize CashCrate and hacer más dinero! (Note that these strategies are totally legal, so don’t be afraid of CashCrate terminating your account. In fact, you’re doing them a favor by being able to complete more offers!)

A pop-up blocker (Most pop-ups only slow you down, because they’re not relevant to getting credit)

A mouse with a wheel (cuts lots of time off of scrolling and opening new pages)

Alternate email addresses (you don’t want spam alongside email from friends, do you?)

• And of course, and account. Sign-up with the link provided at the end of this article!

This is just the beginning. You’ve got the tools to turn this into a lucrative business; now you need the right strategies.

Most importantly, do the trial offers! They hand out the most money for the least amount of “work”. After signing up for an offer and getting credit, you can manage the subscription yourself. If you find out the service isn’t your cup of tea, call them to cancel. But if it turns out useful (e.g. Netflix), by all means keep the subscription.

In the mean time, fill out surveys and offers that don’t require a credit card. (On my first day, I made about $12 from these alone. In about an hour.) But know what you’re getting into before you get sucked into the advertisements! Here’s the rundown:

•“Create a free account”, “Join and confirm your email”, or “Register and confirm your email” offers are definitely the easiest and the most likely to credit. Just have your alternate email open in another tab, fill out the form in seconds, and check your inbox as soon you register. I get credit for these very quickly as well.

•Offers that read “Participate in the survey”, “enter information with intent to participate”, and the like take longer and are less likely to credit. Moreover, you are likely to get the same company for “different” offers. You have to use your own judgment with these, but usually when a different company than the one listed on CashCrate starts asking for your information, you’ve qualified. Also, when you get a giant page of “Yes/No” questions, press ‘tab’ to scroll and ‘space’ to select Yes or No. It saves time without violating CashCrate policies.

•“Download and install the software/toolbar/whatever” offers are easy to clear, but you have to be wary of spyware and malware. More than once, my anti-virus went off when I tried to install a few toolbars. Nevertheless I got credit for all of them; just make sure to wipe them clean from your computer after. Tener cuidado!

•The Daily Surveys aren’t worth it, in my opinion. You want to spend at most 4 minutes on one offer. Spending 15 minutes to make $0.80 is a waste of time. Aléjate!

•You will make more money in less time scanning the list for easy and unique offers first, instead of just doing them in order.

One more factor that makes CashCrate so great is their referral service. Get as many referrals as you can; you earn 20% of everything they make, and 10% of everything their referrals make! Go tell your friends and family, hand out fliers, whatever. With enough referrals, you’ll be making money every month with no work on your part.

So, what are you waiting for? Sign up for CashCrate HERE and get that first check by the end of this month!

¡Buena suerte!

Supporting a Soccer Addiction

Soccer if my favorite sport and lifestyle. You could say that I live, breathe, and sleep soccer. I do everything possible to get ahead in the sport and stay there. One big thing that I think is a key element to my game is the cleats I wear. I know some people may say that cleats have nothing to do with how well you play, but I beg to differ. The cleats give me confidence to go out and do things that normally I would not do. I have always said “look good and you will play good” as a sort of motto. I believe this because the better you look the more confident you are going to to go out on the field and play.

Soccer cleats are a vital part of life and soccer playing career. For this reason, I often purchase new pairs. I own many pairs including, Adidas F50I, Adidas Telstar II, Adidas Adinova, Adidas Adipure II, Adidas Adipure III, Adidas F50 Adizero, Nike Total 90 II, Nike Total 90 Laser III, Nike Mercurial Vapor III, Nike Mercurial Vapor IV, Nike Mercurial Vapor V, Nike Mercurial Vapor VI, Nike Mercurial Superfly I, Nike Mercurial Superfly II, Nike Tiempo I, Nike Tiempo II, and Nike Tiempo III. This vast collection of soccer cleats obviously deducted a major amount of money from my pocket. Each one of those cleats retails from about $150 to $350. I have had to work a lot in order to keep the cleats coming in and myself playing the beautiful sport well.

I have tried many websites on the internet, and only a few of them have turned out to be legit sites that are not just there to scam me out of my time and money. There are many websites out there that do surveys, click to get paid, reviews, articles, and plain old boring concepts. I have found one unique website that has benefited me greatly. This website is Cashcrate. Not only does it offer surveys to get you money, it offers a great referral system. When you refer someone to join Cashcrate, you get 20% of whatever they make and 10% of whatever their referrals make. This leads to a snowball effect where you are making lots and lots of money.

Cashcrate really has helped me get money to keep my hobbies going such as soccer. I do not know what I would do without Cashcrate!

Energy Drinks

For the longest time people have been drinking coffee. They still are in big numbers. But over the last 5-7 years there has been a growing number of people drinking energy drinks more and more. Myself included.

The people that mostly drink energy drinks are in the teens to early thirties. However, there are older people as well that do drink energy drinks as well.

Energy drinks I believe are still look down upon from many people. They see it as unhealthy, too much sugar, too expensive, too many calories, they don’t work, you crash afterwards, and the list goes on and on.

Energy drinks are just like how they sound. They help people get energy in the short term. It may be in the morning to wake you up, in the evening for a pick me up. Some people say it doesn’t work for them. But they sure do work for me and I love it.

The first popular energy drink and that is still very popular is Red Bull. They generally have two kinds Regular and sugar free. I prefer the regular, but the sugar free has fewer calories. Red Bull used to come only in 8 ounces, but now they come in 12, 18 and larger.

My personal favorite energy drink is Monster. I usually drink the sugar free one. These are tasty, there are many different varieties of these out there. They come in a couple different sizes.

There are many others out there as well. Such as Amp, Rockstar, and so forth.

I usually will drink energy drinks in the morning, so it helps me wake up and get going. I enjoy it. When you buy energy drinks you should be prepared to pay around $2.00. Sometimes they are on sale for less, or sometimes a little more at a gas station. To help me pay for my energy drinks I go to cashcrate. Cashcrate allows me to earn some extra money doing surveys, playing games, referring people to their site, and more. Cashcrate earns me the extra spending money for the month. So please go to cashcrate.com and start earning today!

Credit Cards

When people get older and have more responsibilities most get credit cards. Credit cards are good and bad, it really depends on how you use them.

The Good

The best reason to get a credit cards is to establish credit. When you are young and becoming an adult, (lets say 18) you do not have much credit to your name. It is harder to get loans for cars, homes, school, an much more. They will look at your credit report and don’t see if you are responsible or not.

Usually when you first apply they will grant you a small credit line (the amount you can spend up to), then gradually over time after showing you are responsible you are able to get a higher limit so you can spend more. Just make sure to make your montly payment, and hopefully the full amount. You should not spend more then you are able to pay.

Over time it will show on your credit report the time you have had the card and your balance. Keep this in good standing and companies/banks will more likely will loan you money believing you will pay it back. If you act irresponsible they will not and it will be harder for you to get loans. Or at a higher interest rate.

The Bad

Unfortantely a lot of people are not good with credit cards. They spend more then they can pay and fail to make the montly payments. This can make nightmares for a lot of people. They believe if they pay with their card that their bills will magically go away. But in reality you are just shifting your bills to somewhere else while paying a higher interest rate. The interest rates can be anywhere form 12.99% to 29.99% or higher. Almost making it impossible to pay the balance off in the short run.

If you fail to miss a payment of two the interest rate will go higher and it will report to your credit report. This will affect the loans that are offered to you, or that are not offered to you.

Please be responsible, a lot of people do get into trouble fast without realizing it. Use your card for emergencies or for when you can pay back right away. This will save you a lot of trouble in the future.

Is that McDonalds breakfast really worth it?

Instead try going to cashcrate and earn some extra money. At cashcrate you can earn money from doing surveys, playing games, filling out surveys and referring. With the money you earn from cashcrate you can put it in the bank account and build your savings for something that you really want.

Cashcrate Games

In addition to doing offers and surveys for cash on cashcrate you are able to play games with your points to win great prizes. The prizes consist of mainly gift cards to many different merchants, but you can get a camera, playstation 3, Wii, and many other prizes.

To play games you need points to play. So the first thing that you need to do is get the points on cashcrate. You earn 1 point for every dollar in offers that you complete. So you can gather points fairly quickly. But there is another way to get points, a larger amount a little quicker. There are offers that you can earn points, just like there are offers where you can earn cash. These are surveys, and a lot of them are trial offers. Some will offer you hundreds of points. You can check it out on cashcrate, just go to the main page and hit the points tab. As well once you earn your first check from cashcrate you can post your check on the payment wall and get an easy 20 points!

There are many games to play on cashcrate games. My favorites are snakefish, tripeaks, and pyramid solitare. Many players play the games to try to win extra points to use for prizes. So there are some people who are extremely good at the games and get high scores that you may feel are impossible. They are not impossible, it just takes practice. I consider myself very good at snakefish, I usually finish in the top two, if not win. But when I first started I was not very good. It took time and practice. now I earn enough points to get gift cards every month. usually about 2 or three $25 gift cards. Cashcrate will mail them around the 18th-22nd and I receive them fairly quickly after that.

There are two different types of situations you can play the daily games on cashcrate. They are weekly and daily. The daily will cost you two points per try. The top five in each game will get a payout the next day. It ends at 8:45 central time. first place gets 50%, 2nd gets 20%, 3rd gets 15%, 4th gets 10% and fifth gets 5%. So if a lot of people play a certain game and you are able to win, you can win a lot of points.

Then there are the weekly games. This is where you should practice. You should practice here because it will just cost you one point instead of the two. The weekly games will pay out on Monday morning at 7:45 central time. These prizes typically get large because people are playing them for a whole week instead of just one day. They payout to the winners is the same. top 5 takes the points.

The games that cashcrate lets us play are fun. They allow us to earn some points and entertain us. My favorite games may not be for you, but there are others that may be. So go to cashcrate and check it out

Get Your Holiday Cash Now!

The arrival of summer brings with it the tantalizing smell Memorial Day barbeques, the dazzling sight of 4th of July fireworks and the fun of Father’s Day. As the summer holidays come and go it is a constant reminder that the biggest of all holidays is just around the corner!

Before we know it December will be here and we may find ourselves without the funds we had planned to save throughout the year for Christmas. Saving money and sticking to a budget can be very difficult, especially with the added pressures of a poor economy, expensive summer utility bills, vacation spending and high interest credit card rates. All of these factors can stress even the most carefully planned budget.

Certainly, it’s not too late to consider ways to save money or make a little extra cash before the end of the year. So, what’s your first stop? Sure you could start by checking the Internet for tips on saving money or making quick cash. If you do you will likely be bombarded by sites proclaiming they have all the answers. You’ll see headlines like: “50 ways to save money on gifts” or “top ten tips to save!” There may even be sites that recommend you do without the things you love so that you can spend comfortably during the holidays. In the end it may all seem very frustrating.

Don’t give up hope yet! What if instead of all that pain staking penny-pinching, there was another way to actually make money in a short amount of time? There is a way to make quick money online and it is called Cashcrate. Cashcrate is a website that allows their members to complete surveys, quizzes and other offers all for free! Top paying companies provide Cashcrate with offers that they pass on to their members and these members can receive a check for all of their efforts in as little as a month.

A referral program is available for the go-getters that sign up with Cashcrate. The referral program has two levels with percentages of monetary rewards based on the quantity of active referrals the member gains. Referrals are large part of what some members enjoy as passive income from month to month. Visitors to Cashcrate can find a “payment wall” of user submitted photographs featuring valid checks made out to Cashcrate members. Many of these checks indicate a potential to make hundreds of dollars a month by simply participating in all aspects of the program.

If a Cashcrate member were to start completing surveys and offers in November, after reaching the twenty-dollar minimum payout, they could see a check arrive in the mail after the 20th of December. Just in time for Christmas!

So scrap those silly sites that suggest buying your toilet paper in bulk and join the thousands of members who are already making easy money online safely with the Cashcrate program.

Chicago Bulls

The Chicago Bulls have a great history, if you grew up in the 1990′s like I did you remember the Bulls. The Bulls had the greatest player every to play the game in Michael Jordan as well as Scottie Pipen, Horace Grant, and so many other greats. The Bulls won six titles in eight years. With many people believing that they could have won a few more if Jordan didn’t leave to play baseball and retire shortly after that. The Bulls were a great team during the 1990′s.

Shortly after Jordan left, so did everyone else. So there were some years where the Bulls were one of the worst teams in the league. They had little talent and their draft picks did not take off like everyone expected them to. But lately the Bulls have been playing better and making the playoffs. They have a good young squad with the Likes of Derek Rose and Jokim Noah.

Right now everyone is talking about free agency and many people are expecting the Bulls to sign on of the top players in the Game. Lebron James. It is believed to be between the Cavaliers and the Bulls, with the Bulls with the edge. Lebron James would make the Bulls an instant contender for the title. He is only 25 years old and is in the prime of his career. It is also believed if he signs with the Bulls that the Bulls would be able to sign another great free agent Chris Bosh.

The Bulls would be unBullievable, they would have a strong group of guys for the next 5, 6,7 years. The Bulls will be the toast of the NBA and it will be very exciting for Chicago. We have the Chicago Blackhawks playing termendous right now, the Bears on verge of being great. It will be a winning sports town for a while to come. Now we just need the Cubs to do something.

These players will be making millions of dollars every year. While I may not be making millions, Cashcrate allows me to earn some extra money. While I go to cashcrate to do surveys, play games, answer questions, do offers that will pay me. Advertisers pay them to have us answers surveys and questions and cashcrate will turn around and give some of that to us. Cashcrate is a place to earn a little extra money and have fun while doing it as well!

Fantasy Baseball

Fantasy baseball is a fun way to keep up with your favorite players and favorite teams. This is an entertainment that can take up a lot of your time. That is mainly played by guys, but some girls plays. Since it takes up a lot of time, this is one thing that a lot of girlfriends and wives do not like!

There are two main types of fantasy baseball. Roto and head to head. We will get back to these in a minute.

There are a few popular places to play fantasy baseball. Those are espn.com and yahoo.com. There are usually 10 or 12 teams in a fantasy baseball league. When you have all the people play (the managers), you will have a draft. There is like any draft people who choose players with the first pick and people who get there first pick 12th. Then the 12th pick will get the 13th pick and 11th pick would receive the 14th pick and so on. It goes back and fourth. The goal is the draft is to select your team, you need a player in for every position and pitchers. You get relief pitchers and starters. You will also need bench players to play certain days in your line up. You want to have the most balanced team, with hitting, power, speed. Good pitching, saves, era, etc.

Getting back to the two types of leagues we will start with the head to head league. This league you will face off against a different manager every week. You are essentially playing your team vs your team for that one week. You receive a point if you beat him in a certain category, or he will receive the point if he beats you. For example if I had 11 home runs with my team and he had 8 points, I would receive one point and he would receive 0. You want the points, they count as Wins or Losses. At the end of the season whoever has the most points will win the league. The disadvantage of this type of week, is that your players may have a off week and hurt your team for a week. Anyone can win a week if they get lucky.

In Roto you are playing against everyone for the entire season. The stats add up every day for the whole season, instead against teams weekly. This is better because players will have good weeks and bad weeks, but this keeps it balanced. It keeps it so the best player will win.

I hope this helps briefly explain fantasy baseball to you. Most leagues play for a nominal fee, which I am able to pay for by going to cashcrate and earning extra money.

Cashcrate is a free site that allows you to play games, do surveys, trial offers and much more. Cashcrate is paid by advertisers and then they pass on some of the money to it’s users. Cashcrate is 100% legit and helps me pay for fun activities such as fantasy baseball, movies, and so much more. Please check it out.
