Dining Out

Looking for a new restaurant or just love getting the best deal for your money? I have been using Restaurant.com to save on some great meals. A while back they were promoting their products for 80% off! For only $18 I was able to obtain more than $200 worth of gift certificates to local restaurants.

Keep an eye out for discounts or search the web for current offers, but this site has some great opportunities to find new places to eat and save a bundle too. There are restaurants I never would have tried if I hadn't found Restaurant.com.

Certificates have values of $10 to $100 and can be purchased for as little as $3. Be sure to read the details so you know what each coupon is offering and how much you have to buy in order to validate the certificate. Bon appetite!

Free Laptop, iPhone, and Plasma TV ...Oh My

Check out this site I found called Gift Monkey. They give away FREE high end Laptops, Video Game Consoles, iPods, Plasma TVs, and they even have GPS Navigation Systems. That's just the beginning, you could get FREE cash (sent via PayPal), cellphones (including a free iPhone) and much much more!

This site is different from all of those others. They don't give you a time limit to earn your product, and they DON'T make you sign up for 10 sponsors yourself. All you have to do is try ONE of their sponsored offers like eBay (which doesn't cost anything), refer your friends, and they ship your free gift to your door, which is also free!

1. Browse Gift Monkey - choose the item you want sent to you
2. Provide a valid email address and password for your new account
3. Complete one offer - Some are free and others have a minimal cost, but the best part is you only have to complete one
4. Refer your friends and family
5. If you decide you want another prize, no problem, simply change it to the one you want
6. Once you have all your referrals, they will send the product to you
7. When you finish the first prize, you are then eligible for another

I signed up and completed the Napster Trial offer which cost me nothing. In addition to being one step closer to my FREE PRIZE, I get 7 days of free Napster music.

UPDATE: (4/11/10) As of yet I have not received anything, let alone a confirmed trial approval. Me thinks this is one for the scammers unfortunately.

Blogsvertise

If you have a blog and you like making some cash on the side, consider Blogsvertise. It is a simple way to work from home or wherever you blog. There is very little to the process, so I will explain it here.

Submit your blog topic and address. Once your blog is approved, advertisers can request that you write about their product. In a few short paragraphs you share with your readers information concerning the product. The posting is then reviewed for completeness and you are paid. It's really that simple.

I recently submitted an entry and received payment by PayPal a short time later with no hitches. If you refer an advertiser who wants to advertise on your blog, you earn 20% of their advertising fees. For example if they choose to spend $500 you would earn $100.
