I do a lot of reading online about all topics but recently I've been spending more time reading about ways to save better or earn more. Here's a few interesting things I've come across and I have verified they are all legit.

YouData - You sign-up on youdata.com and fill out a survey about yourself including gender, income range, number of kids, etc. The site will then show you ads via a widget that pertain to your demographics. You get paid for each ad they show you. They deposit the money into your PayPal account. Blake and I had fun doing it, we made probably $5 in just a few minutes and I actually really liked some of the sites that I went to.

HouseParty.com - You sign-up to host a party and advertisers sign-up to give out goods for people to host parties. The parties are themed around certain things such as living green or cooking. It's totally free and win/win but you can't predict which parties you'll be chosen for. Once you are chosen, you can send invites through the site and there's an area to upload pics from your party.

SmartSourceJobs.com - This is an actual part-time job opportunity that involves going to stores and switching out the ads that appear on shopping carts or displays. The company sends you the materials and then you go on your route to various stores. What fascinates me about it is that it's totally flexible so it's great for stay-at-home parents to do when they can (while kids are in school, at night after they go to bed, etc.). Many people do it with their spouse or older kids as well. There's 1 week out of the month where the hours are close to full-time but the other 3 weeks, it's just a few hours each week.
