OK, maybe not completely free in all cases but it’s a no brainer: cashback sites. I’ve been signed up with Top Cash Back for a year or so now, and have managed to claim back nearly £200 in that time. How does it work? Well click on the link and sign up for a free account, then whenever you buy anything online you just visit the cashback site and see if the shop you are buying from offers cashback, then visit the online shop using the cashback link.
There’s all sorts of ways to earn the cashback.. switching energy suppliers is a high earner, as is renewing your house or car insurance. I made £50 cashback just for switching my life insurance to Legal and General, and £80 for having my car and home insurance with e-sure. Buying stuff on ebay gives you cashback too even if it is only a small amount based on the revenue ebay take from the sale but I always forget about that one and have missed out on loads of cashback there. And yes.. if you sign up to the site using my link, I’ll get £2.50 from them once you earn a fiver so there is something in this for me too.
On another slightly related topic, you may have noticed the odd Google ad in the sidebar or at the bottom of some pages. This is just an experiment more than anything to see if it is possible to generate money from these adverts. You see them pretty much all over the web so they must work, mustn’t they? So far I’ve had them up for 2 days and they have generated me $0.44 in revenue. If that keeps up, it’ll be approx $6 a month which should pay for the hosting of this blog. All I have to do is make sure I ramble often enough to attract you lovely readers and hopefully you’ll click on the occasional advert too. Oh yes, and I need to throw in some keywords like “geek”, “cpu” and “bananas” amongst this rambling otherwise the adverts keep showing Jamie Oliver related content.
Anyway, back to the cashback.. here’s a nice funky banner for you to click on and take a look:
how do I sign up and put u as a referer?
PS Also need to ask you about remote conection to my router.
