Shake-Man's
Shamelessly Sappy Page of Ka-Ching
(a.k.a: a page filled
with junk that is not only fun but can make you [and me] some cash)
This page is dedicated to all the neat crap I've found on the web that can at best get you some easy cash, but at the least they'll let you have fun wasting time. They range from junk like free lotto's, sweepstakes, games, “get paid to surf” services…you name it. Why are you doing this, Mr.Studly?, you might be inclined to ask me. Well, I'll tell you. It's because I sincerely care for the common man who struggles each and every day to get ahead in this world but usually only succeeds in barely keeping the dogs of debt at bay. Man, that sounded good, didn't it? OK, the real reason is that I'm bored, and Dawson's Creek doesn't start again for another month. Also, some of these things offer referral incentives. Now, kids, referral incentives are those neat little boogers that pay you money for getting other people to sign up. Ain't that nice? But mostly I'm just listing all this stuff because I've got nothing better to do...that, and Jennifer Love Hewitt just signed another restraining order against me, which kinds of kills my plans for spending the late summer camping in her front yard. Anyway, take a look at all this goofy crap.
Ok, now this is
one of those services that lets you get paid for letting an ad banner program
thingy run across the edge of your screen while you surf the net They pay you a percentage of the advertising
revenue they receive from sponsors. I
finally got to start using the AllAd program, and, to be honest, it’s a whole
lot easier to use than GotoWorld, the next one down on the list. You download a small program that puts up an
independent banner window on your screen.
The window can either be positioned at the top or the bottom of the
screen, and your browser resizes itself to accommodate the window. The window can be also be made to float
anywhere on the screen, but darnit, that’s just aggravating. The only downside to AllAd is that you only
get paid when your browser is the active window. You don’t get paid for reading email, newsgroups, etc. Currently, you get paid 50 cents an hour, which
ain’t too bad. Now, boys and girls,
this is one of those programs that not only pays you for using it, but it also
pays you when the folks that you refer to the service use it. That might
be one of the reasons I'm mentioning this puppy, but it's only in the back of
my mind, way back underneath the memories of those old Smurfs episodes, I
promise. Anyway, I'd appreciate it if you would let the referral thing do it's
magic. It's automatic, but I can also see how you could be really mean and
erase my referral number when you sign up. I only noticed it because it crossed
my mind when I signed up. I'm just devious...I can't help it...spank me.
Anyway, if you don't list me as your referrer, I'll curse you with an awful
case of cooties and a disgusting bout of diarrhea. No, no, even worse, I'll
curse you with an awful case of cooties who themselves have a disgusting bout
of diarrhea. Imagine the horror! I am the master of all that I survey!! OK, I
kind of lost track there...sorry. Anyway, give AllAdvantage.com a look over. It
looks pretty neat.
GotoWorld is kind
of similar to AllAdvantage.com. The only difference is that GotoWorld has you
to download a customized browser to use with their service. The browser is all
right and everything. I just kind of like using my own browser. So, I
run the GotoWorld browser, and then I open up a second browser window, my own
browser, and surf with GotoWorld in the background. Yeah, that's right, I am
one smart daddio. The preceding free tip is just another example of just how
much I care. If I had to choose between AllAdvantage and GotoWorld, I'd
probably choose AllAdvantage. Granted, I know diddly-dook about how
AllAdvantage is gonna work since I haven't actually gotten to use it yet. But
from the info that All-Ad provides on their page, it seems to be a little less
troublesome. But, hey, I plan to use both. Currently, GotoWorld only offers 40
hours max per month that you can earn from their thing, and All-Ad offers
somewhere between 10 to 20 hours. That doesn't even come close to the amount of
time that I spend online each month because I am the friggin' king of all
lonely geeks, baby!! Worhip me!! Anyway, GotoWorld also pays you for referring
people, so the same diarrheal cooty curse goes for this one just like it did
for AllAdvantage.com. Only now I hear that some of the diarrheal cooties are
also hermaphrodites. Scary, baby, scary.
OK, you Puff Daddy samples, UtopiAD.com is yet another happy example of a get-paid-to-waste-time-surfing-the-net-while-you-should-be-interacting-socially-with-other-people programs. UtopiAD.com is similar to both AllAdvantage.com and GotoWorld. Right now, you are put on a waiting list to receive the money making program thingy. Now, I got sick of all this waiting list crap, so I called the company and explained who I was. They said they really didn't care if I was Britney Spears' personal tanning-lotion-putter-oner-guy, so I went and beat the poop out of the whole bunch of them. OK, that's a lie, but I did think about it. Anyway, this one also pays you to pimp...I mean, recruit other people to join, so the same hermaphroditic diarrheal cooty curse applies to this puppy just like the others, except now rumor has it that a good majority of the hermaphroditic diarrheal cooties have secret crushes on Wayne Newton. Death is a kind and anxiously anticipated friend to those who are afflicted with this foul plague.
Now, this here
Lucky Larry's Free Email Lotto is an email lotto that you can enter weekly.
It's easy to do. You've just got to visit some sponsors' pages to get your free
tickets. You get different prizes depending on the number of numbers that you
match. But I guess that's kind of like any other lotto, so mentioning it kind
of makes me look like a moron. Since
I’m such a hapnin’ piece of man-steak, Lucky Larry’s is giving away a free
Lotto ticket to everybody who visits my site.
Just click on the goofy looking picture of Larry above. I haven't won anything yet, which probably means that each and
every person I send to this site will win. Just my Irish luck. Anyway, you
might want to give it a try.
Lotto48....Cash-4-Fun....Click

Lotto48
is a new e-mail lotto that I had e-mailed to me from I don’t know where. This email lotto is very similar to
Lucky Larry’s Email Lotto. You visit
sponsor sites to get your free tickets, blah, blah, blah…you get the
picture. Hey, Lotto48 is even giving a
free ticket to visitors from my site, probably because Lucky Larry told them
that I was all that and a box of stale Froot Loops. Isn’t that just happy??
Yeah, I know. Just click on the
banner above to get your free ticket.
Just don’t forget who got you rich if and when you win. I am so the man…I’m kickin’ it on the
real…I’m spankin’ the cosmic booty…I’m¾sorry,
got jiggy with it there for a second, whatever that means.
Valuepay.com
is similar to all the other “get paid to surf” programs, but it does have one
distinctive feature. It puts the ad
window up in the top right corner of your browser where your twirling globe or
big fat “N” is, depending on which browser you use. That’s neat since you don’t have some goofy banner getting in the
way of viewing Jennifer Love Hewitt pics.
Again, there’s a waiting list for this one, too, so I don’t really know
how well it works. They do claim to pay
around 90 cents per hour, which is more than any of the other programs, but who
knows. Being the Red Lobster garlic buscuit that I am, I'll let you guys know
when I find out.
Now, this one me
likey! So far, I've won about five bucks from FreeLotto (by matching 3 numbers
on several occasions...envy me). You get three chances a day to win. For each
chance you visit a sponsor, blah, blah, you know. If you match all six numbers,
you win a $1,000,000. That ain't chump change, baby. If you win the million, it
would be nice if you would buy me a girlfriend. An English speaking chick would
be nice, but it's not a requirement. But I digress.
Here's
another free lotto site I found. Webmillion.com is similar to FreeLotto, except
that there is only one drawing weekly and there are more numbers. But, the jackpot
is bigger: $3,000,000! That'...like...enough to buy $3,000,000 worth of Nilla
Wafers, or $3,000,000 worth of neon glow-in-the-dark lava lamps, or, hey, even
$3,000,000 worth of Britney Spears action figures with swivel-action booby
grip! Anyway, you get the picture. Hey, this lotto even offers to pay you off
if somebody you refer wins. Isn't that special? Yeah, that's what I
thought. I had at first wrote here in
this space complaining that Webmillion.com didn’t offer any spiffy banners for
groovy web dorks like myself to use to promote the site. Well, recently I got an email from
Webmillion announcing that they had made some neat animated banners and buttons
“for me”. Weird thing was, they called
me Shake-Man in the e-mail. OK, I
agree, anytime somebody calls you a geeky name like that it’s weird, but that’s
not the strange part. The real goocher
is that I’ve never e-mailed them anything, so the only way they could’ve known
my top-secret superhero name was if they had actually visited this
site. Man, I have really got to watch
what I say about people, or I might wake up at the bottom of the river one
morning. In related news, I bet I could
kick Jean-Claude Van Damme’s butt. Anyway, give Webmillion.com a try.
OK,
this is the last “get paid to surf” program I’m gonna list…I promise. OK, I might be lying, but that’s just
me. ePIPO is really similar to
AllAdvantage.com and the others. Oh,
yeah, you also paid for referring other folks to the service. Ain’t that nice? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Anyway, when they actually let me start using the service, I’ll let you
guys know if it sucks or not. But, by
all means, feel free to sign up now.
While you wait to get approved, they give you some cool muzak to listen
to….ok, that’s a lie. Hey, look at the
bright side. They supplied me with a
really neat looking banner ad, don’t ya think?
I don’t know what the heck that junk is in the wheelbarrow, though. Kind of looks like petrified dog crap. That has absolutely nothing to do with
making money, which proves that drugs are bad for you.
Ahh, the perfect
place to waste a good Saturday night. At Gamesville, you can play poker, bingo,
three-eyed bingo, you name it, all for cash. Now, the cash prizes for bingo
kind of suck, but the jackpot for three-eyed bingo and poker can get up in the
thousands. A word of warning: these games are kind of like Solitaire for
Windows...very addictive. Stock up on the Visine, baby...that's a free tip from
your buddy, Shake-Daddy.
That little
booger of a trivia game up there is a way for you to get entered into the pot
to win some cash. Uproar is a cool site
where you can play trivia and games like Hangman (they call it something else,
I can't remember what). You play against other players, which adds to the fun.
The more points you get, the more prize passes you get. The more prize passes
you get, the more times your name gets put in the pot for an hourly drawing
for...you might want to sit down for this one...five dollars!! OK, that's kind
of lame, I admit. But the games are fun...really. I did win five bucks from
them though, so they are now my best friends. They've got bigger pots to win,
and I feel like they'll start throwing out more cash as soon as they get more popular.
Well, “werd” on
the street is that Loopy.net is closing down soon, but have no fear! It is simply being integrated into
Online-Sweepstakes.com, which is operated by the same guy. This is a really neat site that links to
tons of sweepstakes, contests, and free stuff. Hey kids, let's quit our jobs,
abandon our families, ignore our friends, and spend 24/7 filling out
sweepstakes forms!! OK, maybe not such a good idea, but if you wanted to do
that, this would be the best place to go...so there.
All right, Luke Duke, that should just about do it for the Ka-Ching website, at least for now. It's lunchtime. Stop by often, cuz I intend to update this page every chance I get.
Hey, now, click here to go back to my main page, Shake-Man’s Sad Little World. Or if this is the first time you've ever been here, or maybe you got here from some search engine or something, that link right back there will take you to my page for the first time. Actually, you could click either the “here” link or the “Shake-Man’s Sad Little World” link to go to my main page for either the first time or for a return visit. But, I..uhh..guess that's kind of self explanatory...I guess I could've gone without clarifying it, maybe saved some time, some space, maybe used that saved time to find a girlfriend, or bathe, or something...ah, screw it.
