If you’re like me, you’re strapped for cash this holiday season! That’s why I want to share with everyone the ways to make easy money online. I’ve personally used these sites to earn some extra money 100% online, no joke. I’ll post some proof pictures later this week. Here they are (ranked in order of earning potential):

1. InstantProfitz

2. QuickRewards

3. NFO MySurvey

Sorry it’s been so long that I’ve posted. Hopefully these great money-making programs will keep you guys happy for a while! Please patronize me by using my links!

AlienTrust posted two items of bad news regarding their verification process. First of all, their fax machine failed to print any faxes from 11am to 6 pm on Tuesday, so please resend your documents if you are still not verified. Secondly, e-mail verification has been cancelled due to 15-minute processing time per verification - time that AT can’t spare.

And yesterday, AlienTrust posted a clarification on its policy of requiring user’s to submit a tax form. The tax forms are solely for AlienTrust’s use at the end of the year to process their IRS tax forms - they will not be witholding any cashouts requests because of this.

Read the full faxes and taxes updates (haha).

HYIPDaily posted a great story on a new HYIP phishing scam that has been introduced to the industry.

The phishing HYIP will instruct you to change your e-gold account security settings to allow automated access to your account from any IP address. Traditionally, e-gold will remember your “home” and “work” IP addresses and only allow those IPs to access the account. Next, a spoofed deposit page will allow the scammer/hacker to aquire your e-gold ID and password. Because of the authorized access from any IP address, the hacker now has complete access to your account.

Two simple precautions you can take to prevent this from happening to you:

1. Always login to your account by manually typing the e-gold.com domain name, and always send e-gold to the HYIP/auto surf through the “Spend” form
2. Never make changes to your security settings just because an HYIP instructs you to do so.

For more on e-gold account security, read my e-gold tutorial or e-gold’s security page.

I previously announced InstantProfitz’s new referral bonus structure and one-year anniversary, but things have now changed for the better!

InstantProfitz, a popular paid to signup website, has implemented a multi-tiered referral system, effective immediately:

Everyone gets a base rate of 10% for first level referrals and 2% for second level referrals.
You get an increased rate of 15% for first level referrals and 3% for second level referrals if and when those referrals cash out above $100.
You get a super-increased rate of 20% for first level referrals and 5% for second level referrals if and when those referrals cash out above $250.

And there’s more! InstantProfitz’s cashout requirement has now been lowered to $20. However, the sign-up bonus has also been lowered to $3 (previously $5.10).

There’s no better opportunity to join InstantProfitz than now! Be sure to read their newsletter for current promotions.

Make Money Blog will soon be moving officially a new location and design. Please begin updating your bookmarks to point to Easy Money Universe (http://www.easymoneyuniverse.com). I want to give everyone ample time to get accustomed to the new design and new location.

The site is already live, but still under minor construction. It is under the same management and still includes the same great content and information as this site. A couple changes are on the way…which I will keep secret until they are ready to be released!

Also — two annoucements:

–Easy Money Universe needs more writers! If you are a online money-making fanatic who enjoys writing articles and news stories, please send me an e-mail to show your interest.

Basic membership:
up to 200 - 1%

Premium:

201 - 1000 = 0.6%
1001 - 1500 = 0.5%
1501 - 4500 = 0.4%
4501 - 80000 = 0.3%

All new upgrades will earn 1% for 4 months before reverting to the earning % designated to account level.

Each new upgrade earns 1% so you will still earn back your upgrade in under 4 months, as has always been the case. Its only AFTER you earn back your upgrade (4 months is approx 120 days so you still have 20 days leeway for not surfing) that the upgrade will revert to earn the new %, depending on your account level.

Compound upgrades, upgrades from earnings, will also be set at 1% for 4 months. In this case you may decide not to compound your earnings until you have earned back your full upgrade, the decision will be yours

The system can recognise and calculate the difference between the upgrades, this is done via programming. In effect, there will be a different rate applied to upgrades, so if you have multiple upgrades under 4 months old you will earn 1% until the 4 month period of each individual upgrade ends. This does mean that overall each member will net a different earning %, depending on the mix of new and old/compounded upgrades. We will track all of this from admin and programming side.

Earnings withdrawn to SP and used to upgrade the account be subject to the 1% rate. In the event that a member funds their StudioPay account to upgrade then this upgrade will earn also the 1% for four months.

Members who are involved in contribution program will continue to get 1% everyday. Applicants in this program can apply to hrdept@studiotraffic.com. Only proven applications will be approved.

All current members will be divided into either Basic or Premium membership, depending on current account level. Those existing members with account level under $200 classed as Basic Accounts will have the option to upgrade to Premium Account.

All new members registering will automatically register as a Basic Account member, and will have the option to upgrade at any time.
