How I Get Free Stuff and Make Money Online

*I thought I would share this post again for those of you that didn't see it the last time I posted this. I've updated my list and added a few more links to this list that have sent me free stuff to try or that I've received gift cards from.*

I tell my friends and family all the time how I get free things coming to me and some of them have tried it and they don't have the same results that I have. So I am going to tell you the websites that I belong to in order to get free stuff and maybe you'll be able to get free stuff too.

Fetch Is an app where you snap a picture of your receipts from shopping and you get points from it that you can exchange for gift cards. I've earned more than $100 this year. 

Inbox dollars sign up with Inbox Dollars and click on the emails they send you and shop with them for points that you can turn into real money. This one takes more time to do but in the past 3 years I have gotten $120.00 from them.

Hey it's Free This is one of the best place to find free samples online. I used to use a lot of sites but this is one of the best ones I've found for free samples that actually come. And they have a fb page where members post other freebies they've found.

She Speaks- Sign up for an account and sign up for free samples and full size products to test. Sometimes they just send you an email asking you to fill out a form to see if you qualify for the product testing they are doing. I've had good luck with testing products with them.

Ripple Street- Sign up to host a Ripple Street party "Formerly known as House Party" and if you get picked they send you all sorts of freebies, coupons, and free products to test and share with your Ripple Street guests.

Freebie Shark- This is another really great place to find links to free samples. I use this site a lot for signing up for free samples and they have a fb page where other members can post freebies they find.

American Consumer Opinion - This is a survey site where the points you get for surveys can be exchanged for gift cards.

Influenster- A site where you sign up for an account, fill out some surveys and do small tasks to improve your score. Then they send you free products to try out at home. I have been a member of this site for years and have filled out a few of the surveys and done a few tasks and have been sent free products. If you want to get free products at home to test, this is a good site to sign up for.

YouGov Sign up with this site and take surveys for points that you can cash out for either cash or gift cards.

Paid Viewpoint- This is a survey site where you get money for each survey to complete and when you reach $15 you can cash out. You do need to sign up with a smart phone number though in order to cash out because you have to verify your account with a text.

Crowdtap- Is a site where you interact with brands by answering questions, tweeting, posting pictures,  posting to fb and taking polls. You can apply for sampling parties and get free products to review and samples to share. Everything you do gets you points and at the end of the month you get a chance to win gift cards based on how many points you have.

My Points- It's a site where you answer surveys, and complete tasks in order to get points that you can exchange for gift cards.

Simple Solutions - This site is all about Arm & Hammer Baking Soda. They send out free samples or full size boxes of it for you to try and have you fill out some surveys.

Generation Good - This is the Seventh Generation site about their products. They've sent me several free Seventh Generation samples and products to try and review.

Snuggle Bear Den Community - This is the site for Snuggle Fabric Softener. You sign up for an account and fill out a few surveys and they might send you free samples to try out. So far I've received a free Snuggle stuffed bear that I gave to my grandson and a free full size bottle of Snuggle Fabric Softener to try.

Pinecone Research  This is another great site if you can get in that sends you survey invitations where you can earn points that you can cash in for actual products or virtual prepaid cards, and gift cards.

Batiste Nation- Do you use Dry Shampoo? Sign up with this site nad you might get sent some for free to try out. I've been sent several bottles of dry shampoo since I signed up. You just have to share online, and write reviews.

Book Review: Lin's Challenge by Mara Jaye

 

Book Description

I don't want to die, but I just might on an alien mining moon.

On Earth, I had a good life. For the record, I didn't go into the light, but it came for me. It turns out the "people" were aliens. They abducted me and others, threw us into a cargo hold, and told us nothing.

Later, when we're dropped on a strange and barren planet, we're expected to work. I do, wanting to stay alive. Nothing distracted me until a bronze god of a man strolls in like he owns the place.

The hunk of an alien is everything a tall, dark, and handsome man should be. I can't help but stare until he stares back. He finally talks to me, calling me his forbidden fruit and making me scream his name during sexy times. He also says I don't belong here and plans to rescue me.

I hope so since I'm sure the other aliens know he's in an alien law enforcement agency. If he can't call for backup spaceships and ray guns, we might both be doomed.

My Review 

Lin wakes up and finds herself aboard a ship that is flying them to a far away planet with other aliens. She can't understand any of the other aliens but some of the female aliens help her out. They find themselves on a mining planet and are forced to work. She's seen what happens to those who cannot or will not work so she works and barely makes it until she is befriended by Turkh. He and another of his kind are there on a mission to bring the aliens who are enslaving lesser aliens on this planet to mine for them to justice. But his mission goes a little sideways when he meets Lin because she turns out to be his mate. He does things that are against his mission protocol in order to keep her safe until they can be rescued. 

I loved Lin because even though she finds herself in a terrible situation, she's really strong and keeps it together. She wants to believe Turkh when he tells her that he's going to get her out of there but she isn't sure that they are going to be saved. They spend a lot of time in this mining colony gathering information to bring down the evil aliens and in that time Lin and Turkh get closer and Lin learns a lot more about him. 

But they are in an open field with the open prisoners when they have their sexy times which even though they are supposed to be far enough away from the others so that they have a little privacy, it seemed a little to voyeuristic to me. The tech he has in his head is a little confusing and I thought it was a little unbelievable that he could mess up and accidentally give her too much of it when he's trying to help her. And when he tries to take it back to save her Lin acts like a child about it. 

The story was good, the conclusion was a good one. So even though I had a few things that bothered me about the story as a whole, I still enjoyed this book. 

I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.
