Domain Purchasing and Monetization

HEY GUYS! Sorry it has been so long I have been really busy at work for the past three weeks (not a day off ack!). Anyway I have been trying something new and let me know what you think. I have bought 7 domains from GoDaddy.com. Now, 5 of them are currently being parked on GoDaddy's cashparking. I know I have heard about not much revenue from domain parking but hell I am gonna let it fly until I get to some of the sites. One of the sites is currently being sold on google (can be checked out Here)

Now on the other two I am doing legit work. My frist site is Stopmethadone.com This site will deal with methadone addiction and facts and different methods to get off methadone. Another site I recently purchesed is Dlekt. This so far is my FAVEORITE domain name, you know sounds like "delect". This so far has been pushed as "underground music" but it will be added onto soon.

Keep intouch to the blog I will update soon, I promise ;)

Amazon Mechanical Turk - Making Slave Work Trendy

It seems like every review I found for Amazon Mechanical Turk were at least three years ago (???)!  Well here is a new 2010 review of Mechanical Turk (Mturk)!

Want to put a quick five bucks in your pocket to put a dent in that dime bag you have wanted to get but mom hid her purse and was making sure you were not getting of it.  Well Mturk would definitely be something for you!  I stumbled upon it from a friend talking about it; going on the site it seemed easy enough answer some questions or decide a category for a video, simple enough right? Well, kind of.

Signing up is very easy just the normal set up, confirm from email and boom, Thunder Cats AGO. After the activation was complete the first thing I noticed was the utter lack of beauty this website contained.  While background blue boarders and that’s about it.  For the sake of optimization it was definitely a key choice (low loading times and not too many distractions) so for that sake I am willing to give up.

It seemed to take me like a half hour to get that half of the big money HITS were scams, sign up for this, check your credit score for that, blah blah blah.  You can try to guess from the title if the HIT will be easy or worth your time but I end up having to keep track of some of the big name requesters and ones that actually give out easy jobs.  This is the big thing.   Most requesters will ask you to answer up to like 20 questions sometimes for 2 cents, not worth it at all.

Requesters like “Amazon Requester Inc.” Is one of my favorites because most of his HITS are 3 or 4 questions and, boom.  You have to wait for any requester to accept or deny the submission before payment and they are always prompt.  They still only pay out about 2 cents but you can open 5 or so tabs with the same hits and do them all in a row to minimize time used.

So your sick of reading all this, want to see something a little more simple?

Like dollar signs?

This is 9 days after my Mturk account was started, you can see I have a few rejected, watch out they will filter you out of content if you have a high rejection rate, and quite a few accepted.  I am waiting for about $16 more dollars in mending.

One thing good I should note is that if the requester is being a douche and doesn’t want to pay, after a certain period of time it will automatically drop into your account.

So here is a quick little brake down for my ADD/ADHD friends:

Amazons Mechanical Turk:

Positives:

• Free and simple setup
• Free freaking money
• Some of the stuff is pretty simple
• Great for in between hours and free time on the computer
• You can get payment deposited into your bank account or a Amazon gift card!

Negatives:

• Slave work, oh yeah.
• Arthritis of the hand from clicking twelve million times
• Zoning out for hours doing the same…damn…thing
• Could never be a daily job

Yes, please do not think that you could make an honest wage with Mechanical Turk.  I personally use it on my inbetween time at my overnight job, which I am currently at.  I really think Mturk is a great site and should be utilized to its full potential. My three week goal is to make at least $100 with Mturk on my spare time, can you beat me?

One Cheap Dingle Intro - Welcome from OCD!

"I Guess I just have always been cheap and that’s what I enjoy being. "

I tend to pinch pennies every second of the day when an opportunity arises, and it brings a stride to my step.  Hours searching on internet sites looking for a hopeless romance of a job to come along and soon enough I could be a suit and tie man, purely get quick rich scheme.  It grew like my addiction did and when addiction got mixed with money, drugs were involved, many many drugs. 

Regardless of the past, I have moved on since than.  Grown up to be a new man.  And that makes me One Cheap Dingle.  I have researched, set a flame, physically abused, and self mutilated every strain of the internet and daily life for ways to put green in my pocket [money].  And for you I would like to present a comprehensive review on what I believe to be the most legitimate, easy, pick up and go methods on either saving or banking.  What method you may ask?  Well obviously blogging, as you see here but soon enough there will be video podcasts. 

The first article is coming soon,
