My journey to financial empowerment.

......actually it will reopen mid-October. I received the following email from Kira, Cash Duck creator: "Well, I guess I just missed you guys too much to leave.. I've decided to revamp CashDuck and reopen in mid-October. Look for new features, new offers, and new ways to earn. All withdraws that have already been requested will be sent out as previously scheduled, and I expect all prizes to be sent out by the end of next week. Then I'll be busy making the new and improved CashDuck a reality!" Cash Duck is coming back yall! Yes! For all who don't know, Cash Duck is a "pay to" site where you get paid for doing offers that range from surveys to shopping. I signed up with Cash Duck in April and since then I have made $412.04. I can't wait to get back to making some more money with the site. I'll keep you guys posted if I hear anything more. For anyone looking to make some money on the side, this is definitely a great site to do so. You can e...

It's a sad sad day indeed. I woke up to find the following email from Kira, Cash Duck creator and owner: (partial email) " Unfortunately, I have a sad announcement to make. As of the end of this month, CashDuck will be closing. This is a decision that I did not want to make, and even two weeks ago said that I didn't want to close. But the way things have been going, I feel like if CashDuck continues to run that things are unlikely to improve. Since the implementation of the new payout rules, traffic has really dwindled. So far this month all of the users of CashDuck combined have not earned what they did in an average DAY of April or May. I really wanted to give the shopping section some time, but I am losing money and new obstacles are thrown up every day. I have had such a wonderful experience running CashDuck and it has changed me as a person. I've learned a LOT, and in fact partially due to my experience with CashDuck I will be applying for an MBA program. I a...

Not bad huh? Well there is a method to my madness. Hair: $17 for extensions. $35 for the style. I go to a local college student who has been doing my braids and sew-ins for the last year or so. I would have paid $100 at the hair salon. Nails: $17 + $3 tip = $20 for a full set. The regular cost is $22 but college students receive $5 off on Sundays. Yes I used my college ID card. And yes I graduated in 2005. Oh well they don't know that........LOL. Facial: Free. Did it myself at home. Unless I can find a spa that can give a facial formulated for my type of skin, I will always do it myself. Last time I attempted a facial at a spa I broke out even before I left the seat. Ugh! New Fit: $25 total. I went to one of my favorites, Burlington Coat Factory. I luvs that store. Bought myself a cute top and some slacks. And where did I find the money to pay for all this? Cash Duck silly. LOL. I received my second payment via paypal on Thursday. $160 for my spendin...

Just made $101 dollars on Cash Duck tonight. I will try to make another $100 in tomorrow night. Remember to withdraw your total balance by the end of tomorrow night. That way you can receive your money on 6/15/07. If you don't do it before 11:59 on the last day of the month you will have to wait a month and a half to receive your payment. I really want to do the whole NSA (Notary Signing Agent) thing but work has gotten extremely busy and I wouldn't have any spare time to work signing appointments in. So I'll have to put becoming an NSA on hold for now until work lightens up. I received my $4 check from American Consumer Opinion. I haven't received any other surveys form them yet. Oh well. Its not like I can get rich of that anyways. I wish AGLOCO would get their act together and launch this viewbar. It seems like a good way to make some nice money. I need to put my Hustlette hat on and find new money making avenues.

Just received my cash duck payment. $160 right in my paypal and a couple of days earlier than I thought. So needless to say Cash Duck has been confirmed as a legit thing. I plan to make about $150 plus from it a month. :-D Two down and one to go.

I've decided to reach my financial empowerment goals via another route. I have tried to do the whole frugal biznass but that mess aint working for me. I want to live and have fun. I am too young to be knit-picking every single purchasing decision I make. Obviously, my current salary alone will not allow me to pay bills, work on eliminating my debt, and enjoy life and it's perks. So if what you working with ain't getting you what you want.....then upgrade. What's my plan? I intend on finding different ways to bring in some extra moola each month. The following is a list of avenues that are currently working for me: Cash Duck: CashDuck has many different offers (surveys, trials, etc). Some are free and some are not. You get paid various amounts for each offer you complete. I made $160 in the span 2 weeks Pinecone Research : get paid to do surveys ($5/survey) the only way to sign up with them is via a banner that they might have on a random site. I found an ad b...

Hey there blogger fam. Just wanted to hit you all up before I go ghost for a couple of days. I am moving tomorrow and I will be to busy to be chillaxing on the comp. Until then here is an update on my financial journey: I have made $105 from CashDuck since last night. I only had to shell out $8.95 in shipping and handling fees for some free trial stuff. Not a bad turn around. Needless to say I am very content with the site and the obvious perks.........xtra income and sometimes neat stuff (I bought a pair of sterling silver earrings for $4 in one of the deals). Due to my trip out town for Easter and moving costs I have added an extra $400 to my credit card debt. Yeah yeah yeah. I can hear you all now. LOL. I already knew this month was going to be crazy so I was a little prepared. I had $500 set aside this month to pay on my CC debt (on top of my minimum payments) so I will actually come out $100 on top. So no worries. A tiny set back. But starting in May I will be paying...

Well I made $20 bucks on CashDuck last night. Only took me 30 minutes. Not bad......not bad at all. If I can devote an hour a week to that site and make at least $30 bucks each time, I can have a monthly income of $120 bucks. Oh yeah baby! And this money will not be used to pay any debt or bills. This is strictly spending money for me and my sweet pea. If you want to join follow this link .

I have been surfing the net trying to find ways to make some extra money. I have been looking for opportunities that wont be overwhelming and where I can earn a decent paycheck (at least $350 a month is my goal). I have listed the results of my search below: AGLOCO - Short for "A Global Company." Concept is pretty simple: Join for free, download a viewbar, get paid for actively surfing, and get paid even more for referring others. You can sign up with them using this link . EbookDrop - Largest electronic book buyer. They will buy any book you have to sell thats in their system. Some folks go to thrift stores and purchase books there and then turn around and sell it on this site. As a recent college graduate this site is ideal. I have so many books from school that I have no need for. CashDuck - CashDuck has many different offers. Some are free and some are not. You get paid various amounts for each offer you complete. (I made $140 in two days) Ebay - Goo...
