Ziddu, get paid to upload files

Ziddu is a free file hosting site, just like rapidshare. Actually, I prefer it to rapidshare. It's fast and easy, and also secure.
You can upload pictures, audio, videos, documents and anything else. The maximum file size is 200MB, and you can even email the download link to your friends.
Apart from the fact that ziddu offer good file hosting services, it is also a nice place to earn from. You get paid $0.001 for each unique download of any of your files. That means 10000 unique downloads = $10. By offering interesting things like free ebooks and other files for download, such a number is very easy to achieve. All you need to do is find something that people need and offer it free for download. That should start things rolling.

You will be paid via PayPal or Moneybookers once your balance reaches $10, and when someone joins under your referral link, you get a $.10 referral bonus. It might not be the fastest way to earn, but it sure is a nice way to build up your earnings, almost by doing nothing!

I hope this post has come in useful. More earning opportunities will come up as I continue my explorations.

Buzzshed, Yuwie and earning online

Forgive me for not posting frequently. I am going to give my opinion on Buzzshed and Yuwie today. Buzzshed seems quite decent, but right now they have gotten so many members that they are finding it difficult to get enough ads to go round members, therefore some members rarely get ads.
All this will change when they get more advertisers anyway. To me, I still think Buzzshed is a good earning opportunity. The concept behind the site is a nice one.
Next up is Yuwie. I signed up, took a look at what was required to earn, and decided it wasn't really worth it. It works on a sort of viral pattern. You get paid for the number of times that people view your profile page and that of your referrals. Sounds quite simple, but to earn anything useful, you have to really promote like crazy, and gain a lot of referrals, who will in turn get more referrals, and so on. It might work for some people, but I'd rather channel my recruiting efforts elsewhere.

Get paid to watch videos - 30c per video, $1 per referral!

You can get paid to watch short video ads. This is another nice opportunity to earn some money online. I came across this site (BuzzShed) about 2 weeks ago, and signed up with them.
These guys pay you to watch short video clips (commercials) on their website. The videos are about products sales or special deals for Buzzshed members, or funny promotional videos that the advertisers provide. You are given videos according to your profile, so you can be sure that you'll find each one relevant and interesting.

To start earning, all you need to do is Join BuzzShed, select your hobbies and interests, and they’ll send you a BuzzClip when an advertiser adds a video which matches your preferences or category. A buzzclip is simply an email containing a link to a sponsored video (or commercial). When you watch it, you get paid 30 cents. It’s that simple! It took me a week to get my first buzzclip though, so I would say the best way to make money from the site is from referrals. They pay $1 for the first 5 referrals, $0.50 for the next ten, and then $0.25 each for the rest of your referrals, so you should try to refer as many people as you can. If you refer 12 people only and watch about 5 videos in a month, you can reach payout. Payout is $10, and you are paid by paypal at the end of the month.
Seems like a neat little way to earn. You should definitely try this one out. Sign Up With BuzzShed
