Welcome to this week’s ten minute lesson. This is $10 a week with Troy Price and I am Troy Price. I am entertained by the internet so I can find free or low cost offers that make you money. This podcast began over two years ago and is going strong! This week I am trying something I haven’t tried for a while. This episode is pre-scripted. I know the websites I am going to share, and the segues that are going to take me from one topic to the other. I am stoked and ready to go (FYI: yes, my spell checker did just flag stoked). This week, we’re going to talk about a site that might save your entertainment dollars, a site that should make you literally dollars the first time you use it, and you know I pack so much info into those two sites that I am only going to share two sites but trust me, it will be worth your while. This will really make sense once you hear it, so let’s jump into it!
Segment 1: Bong! Save your entertainment money…
I am going to share how I spend my personal entertainment dollars. We subscribe to Dish Network. We used to have Direct TV, but switched over to Dish and saved $6 a month for the same basic Channels. Do you need a referral to switch over to Dish yourself? Shoot me an email and I will connect you with a referral that will get you a few perks for signing up. Also, I save a few bucks a year by signing up for email billing rather than regular paper billing. And I get 5 Cinimax channels for a penny a year because I have my bill charged to my debit card. So when I want to rent a movie I go to my local McDonald’s and rent a dollar movie from the Redbox there or the Movie Cube at our local Kroger. Further, If I want to read something I visit the local Library or subscribe to a magazine at www.dealcatcher.com for free. And, the newest way I save my entertainment dollar is by going to www.sidereel.com . Imagine myspace surrounding movies or TV series and all the insider scoop about all the shows or movies and then, there are various member links suggested that provide scenes or clips from TV episodes or movies that you can actually watch on your computer. Now, I have a few hesitations from clicking on all the links provided, do click at your own risk, but a rule I apply is I don’t download any clips to my computer, I think the risk of viruses are to great, but streaming should produce less risk to your computer. So check that out!
Next, Segment 2, Ring, ring, it is cash calling…
I was skeptical of this at first but really tried this and it does work. This new internet service plays an ad before callers are connected to your number, and you get paid a nickel for each call that is placed to you. Imagine all the calls that can come your way and all the money that can come rolling into your pocket. What you need to do is go to www.brring.com and sign up at the site. What you will get is a local ‘brring’ telephone number that is forwarded to your number after that ad I mentioned is played. So instead of giving people out your home number, you give out your bring number and it is connected to you without people being able to google your address and stalk you. Do you hear that, I am on to you littlesissygirl12, I know how you found my house! Anyway, Brring is a neat service that is worth a look. Here’s a way you can hear what the ads sound like before you sign up for the service. Please call my bring number is 502.225.1005. Do call it and hear the ad and how the hold music plays before you are connect to my phone. When you hear someone answer the phone or our fax pick up, simply just hang up, we’ll know it’s you. So, after you make that call, and then sign up for brring, here are a few implementation ideas that might really boost your brring earnings. Sign up on a website requesting more information about a network marketing or home base business opportunity. You will get at least 50 calls for that and that is money in your pocket. Here’s another, if you have a podcast, promote your brring number as your podcast listenerline. Each call will result in more money in your pocket. And lastly, leave the number in random places where people might want to try the number. For instance, if you go into a bathroom at any rest areas on interstate 91, you will see written in blue ink, “for a good time call 502.225.1005. And here is the secret. My calls really are not forwarded to my home phone. I am on a phone plan what includes a second number that has a special ring. Now on my phone plan I also have voicemail from the phone company and in the voicemail set-up I fixed it so that my second number, the special ring number goes straight to voicemail. I never hear the ring and I never check that voicemail. So everytime I don’t hear that ring, I make a nickel. I really think this one is going to pay off big for me, but it is too new to tell. Of course friends I will let you know in future episodes…
So that is it, two ways you can make at least $10 a week this week. Again, I want to hear from you. Let me know if you like the more scripted episodes, Let me know if you are making money with these tips, do you have any money making or saving websites you would like to share on the podcast, please email me at troystory3(at)aol.com. Or, call into our listenerline and leave a voicemail. That number is 641.715.3900 and then enter the show id of 22505.
