Pro360.com

This is a review-based website with a database full of casinos from Europe to the US. Easy to navigate your way around, Pro360 offers a user friendly, safe surfing experience with honest reviews from both the editor(s) and players, including a rating system and a "US Players" column, for easy access to filter out your queries, as there's nothing worse than finding a casino to play online poker and after you download it, you find it's either non-US or US only (for us Europeans).

You can search for specific games, such as poker, craps, keno and backgammon (and more) as well as specific lists, such as a poker room list or US room lists, allowing you to jump into the action and win some money ASAP!

When you click on the "review" button for a certain casino or game, you'll be moved to a nice little page where you can easily read the good stuff and the bad stuff related to the casino you've chosen to read a review about. Topics this covers are the likes of a 100-point rating system (for example, Game Selections might be 70/100 and Graphics could be 87/100) as well as screen shots, a download link, and of course; the review you wanted to read in the first place!

Overall, if you are a keen internet casino enthusiast, I'd keep an eye on this website if I were you, as it's definitely something that I can see becoming a handy little tool for online players.

Review - Smorty

Smorty is another one of these "get paid for blogging" websites in which many blogs are accepted straight away, as long as you have at least a PR of 1. The payment is like many other GPTP (get paid to post) websites, as you complete an offer, submit the post for review before your account gets credited and finally the amount goes into your PayPal account 'so many' days later (usually around 15-30).

Now, I've just submitted my blog and it's been accepted, with a starting opportunity payment amount of $6 per post I complete which is then accepted. There's usually 2 or 3 opportunities I can choose to do every other day, which helps me make arond $18 a week, which is always handy!

They also offer tips (especially recently) thanks to Google's new way of scouring the internet for content - i.e. the Googlebot spider doesn't really like posts which are tagged "paid post" or "sponsored post", thus Smorty has recently popped up a couple of quick hints to help remedy this.

Ultimately, this website is a decent one to help any blogger along the way financially. It's easy to navigate, small enough not to get lost but big enough to still look professional and overall a jolly good bit of fun as well.

Recommended for any blogger who fancies getting on the ladder of paid content.

Kadreans Blog

...has moved!

That's right, Kadreans Blog and all it's contents (including sponsored posts) have been moved over to WordPress as I like them better.

Sure, Blogger gets indexed really fast (and why shouldn't it? It is owned by Google!) but with WordPress I've found it's a lot easier to get a higher pagerank, thus generally more vists to your blog.

And, especially as this blog is just a casual thing anyway (I'm no full-timer in the blogging world) then it makes my job of advertising it a lot easier, instead of having to drag people over here all the time through forums and whatnot.

So, please update your links and blogrolls. This blog will be active until the New Year, of which I shall then take everything down (to prevent plagurism).

Ciao for now, see you over at WordPress!

Free Review - Ciao.co.uk

This combination of a paid-survey site coupled with a paid to review site is a great idea which has gone down really well with the community. I personally have been signed up with Ciao.co.uk for over a year now and have easily received multiple payments from them directly into my bank account from surveys alone. They offer a huge, user-friendly website with soft colours and easy navigation (although I think they could do something to make the login section stand out a bit more, but once you know where it is you won’t miss it again).

The paid to review section is interesting, as you can review any service, item or website that anyone else would be looking for and you get paid depending on how good your review is (rated by the readers). If you’re really good at writing in-depth reviews that can help anyone, this is a good place to start!

The surveys get to you via email – you simply open up the message and decide whether you want to do the survey based on the average time it’ll take to complete compared to the cash reward. Some surveys are only worth about 10p, whereas other surveys I’ve received have been at least £2 worth, but these tend to take a lot longer then the 10p ones!

Also, Ciao.co.uk offers a search bar in which you can, well, search for things as their main page. A bit like the search-mega-monster Google but instead of websites, you get consumer items and similar results from them, which tie in with the review section of the website.

As a final note, Ciao.co.uk has recently added a new review section of videos, which is a unique opportunity to earn more money from watching reviews, then sending your own in. This type of system tends to offer more of a reward then by simply ticking boxes, and when put in context with the paid surveys and reviews, if you should do all three you can earn a tidy little sum quite easily!

Sponsored Post - Ashop Commerce

Firstly, wow. Ashop Commerce is full of information any budding webmaster could want; SEO, Web Design, Domain Registration, Merchant Accounts, Affiliates – the lot. Specialising in shopping cart software this is a huge website with tons of information that anyone wanting to setup any kind of online store would benefit from.

So, let’s get going. Firstly, the general feel of the site is one that made me feel a bit intimidated when I first saw it. Small fonts with tons of words all over the page – not exactly user friendly but if you focus on one area of the page at one time you shouldn’t get lost too quickly.

Primarily aimed at webmasters seeking advice to setup an online store, this site boasts a huge list of features for their accounts; far too many to even begin listing on here!

Secondly, an in-depth FAQ will help guide even the most brainless of people (you know the ones) into deciding which service is best for their website; a top-notch Q&A for a very information-rich website. They do have a lot to say about their services, after all. Scaning through this, one can see that they have really thought about every question someone might have about their ecommerce software and other services – and if you’re known to ask questions not found on FAQs, you can easily contact Ashop via phone or email.

Lastly, we’ve got to know the price of this package. For UK guys 'n' gals, an initial £49 setup fee is required on top of your monthly payment option, choosing between Light, Ashop 500, Ashop 2000 and finally Ashop Plus (Check out the full UK Ashop Pricing). Obviously as with any other tiered service, the more you pay = the more you get. And that is defiantly the case here! The Ashop Plus package is £99.95 per month, but the amount of features you get for it really makes it seem worth the money.

Also they offer optional services such as Logo Design (£159), Homepage Design (£129) and an SEO Kick Start Package (£119). The designs have examples to show you what you get for your cash.

Overall, Ashop Commerce looks the bee’s knees. I can’t afford (nor want right now) any of their services, but take my word for it that I have bookmarked them and will defiantly contact this company should I think about upgrading any of my sites from now on. The only apparent negative of this site is the huge amount of information you’ve got to scour through to get what you want. Don’t get put off by the amount of words on one page is all I can say!

Free Review - itsyourview.com

"Get paid £1 for every 5 minutes of your time!"

itsyourview.com is one of the best survey sites I've come across during my time as an online surveyor. It's incredibly easy to sign up - anyone can be a member, but as with any survey site it will depend on your background, age and working history as to what types of surveys you'll receive, and how often.

I personally have been signed up to this service for over a year now, and knowing that I'm a 19 year old student, this doesn't really give people much oppertunity to e-mail me surveys about life-changing topics. But, that doesn't stop them from paying me my first £50 from them almost 3 months ago, and now I'm more the halfway to my next cheque.

But enough of that, let's get with the site itself and how it works!

itsyourview.com is a "via e-mail" paid survey site. Simply sign up and await your surveys. It took about a week before I was sent my first survey which gave me around 2 points. Each point is directly allocated to a Great British pound, so that was £2 for 10 minutes work, which was typing the odd comment, but more of a 'tick the right box to proceed' scenario.

If you don't fancy doing a survey, just delete it or save it for later. A lot of surveys will still be available for you to complete around 2-3 days later, but don't always rely on this as sometimes they get enough respondants within what seems like an hour after you've received the e-mail.

So, if you're already into the world of "get paid to complete surveys" then this is a good little earner for you. There's no referal scheme but you really don't need one as you'll be getting a bit of pocket money from this place anyway.

Finally, if you're reading this and thinking "wow, I'm going to get rich!" then please don't fee embarrased when surveys are apparently 'dribbling' in, with maybe 2-3 each week. This is not true of any survey site I've found, unless you sign up to 10-15 sites, in which case you'll probably be so filled up with surveys you'll get bored of it.

I recommend signing up to around 3-5 survey sites (more reviews coming soon) as this will help you earn a nice little bit of pocket money for a special occasion.

Ultimately, itsyourview.com is probably one of the best and easiest ways of earning from paid surveys. Sure, there are more then likely bigger and better sites out there, but considering this is literaly £1 per 5 minutes of your time it's a great earner; especially when you start getting massive 20 minute surveys paying a minimum of £4 a pop.

National Payday Site

National Payday hosts a friendly, easy to navigate website. This allows the reader to fly through and find exactly where they need to get to without getting lost in a confusing mass of links that all lead to no-where, or a completely different website altogether as I’ve seen some other websites do.

Getting right into the action, National Payday boasts a simple one page application form – information required includes the default you’d usually find anywhere on the internet (your home address, full name and the amount you’d amount you wish to borrow) as well as employer information. Once this is filled out you simply click on the ‘Apply Now!’ button and await your response.

This site advertises its opening hours which, like many other companies, is pretty much the average hours you’d expect from an office; 9:00am – 5:00pm (EST) and they are closed on federal holidays. It is still possible to apply for a loan outside this timeframe, but this will not be reviewed until a time within the office hours.

Just reading through the FAQ allows anyone to really understand the depth and compassion this company has to allow even first-time-loaners feel safe, assured and calm about the entire process. Here are a few quoted examples from the site:

“FAQ: How does the free payday loan work?

Every new customer is eligible for a free payday loan or cash advance. The loan is free as long as you pay the full balance due (the amount that you borrowed) on your due date. If you decide not to pay in full, the 25% loan fee will be added to whatever balance remains.

FAQ: How long should I have the loan for?

These are short term loans designed to help you with an urgent situation. All payday loans, cash advances, no credit check loans and check advances should be paid back rapidly, and not used for an extended amount of time.”

Like the majority of the more modern websites of today, National Payday has a blog which you can read up on financial advice such as information on other loan types and the risks of a cash advance.

Finally, for you affiliates, you can earn $30 for every customer that you pass on which signs up for a loan with National Payday’s affiliate program.
