Get paid to use Yahoo Search Engine!

Wow, well I knew one of these days that I'm come across a good money maker that I'd missed. Well this is that moment.

Rather tragically, I came across MySearchFunds.com some years back and ignored it (I forget why, but I wasn't on my quest for money making ideas back then).

Well MySearchFunds.com, which has now changed its name to Homepage Friends (a rather naff name change if you ask me), pays you to search the web. This used to be through Google, but they have recently switched over to Yahoo as their search provider. But nothing really changes.

You goto your search page (set as your homepage for ease) e.g. mine is:
http://www.myhpf.co.uk/mypage.asp?OrgID=87564
All the then have to do is use the search box to search with Yahoo. The results are no different to Yahoo's normal results, and you end up with about 2.4p (that's about $0.048) per search.

At the rate I'm going, I'll have about £250 ($500) this year from the site... that makes my quest for a few dollars here and there and lot easier!

One key point here... in my experience it seems you only get the credit for searching from your official page. So if you want to search again, go back to the homepage, don't use the box on the results page, as this doesn't appear to credit your account for the additional search!

UPDATE:
Since this post was written, this service has been replaced by Search Lotto. Search Lotto offers free UK National Lottery, or EuroMillions lottery tickets for searches that use the Yahoo engine. This means you have the chance of winning millions of pounds just by changing the default search engine you use.

Update following CobexTrade

Well its not been the best start to the new year. My favourite e-Currency site, Liberty Reserve, seems to be coming under sustained DDOS attacks, making the site sometimes hard to access. But worse still, CobexTrade has gone. CobexTrade is a reminder (not that I wanted one!) that HYIPs are not just High Yield, but also High Risk. These sites come and go, and even with a very high reputation, CobexTrade has died. So what now? Well I still have some other funds, partly earned on the GoldAge forum , which I don't think I've mentioned here before. GoldAge is a forum dedicated to investors on HYIPs etc... and it actually pays its members for posting! Not a lot admittedly, but its nice to earn at the same time as get good advice from fellow HYIP investors. Here's my current portfolio...small as it is again now: BreInvest Sochi-Invest.org Golden Purse CobexTrade has been an unpleasant reminder not to get too secure a feeling from HYIPs...I lost a lot of my egold there...but lesson...

How I enter the Euromillions and UK National Lottery Lotto for free

In my quest for low risk investments, I've always sought to earn small rewards from websites, that I can risk at a later point for larger earnings. I've come across and used a few "paid to search" websites before, that generally use the Yahoo! search engine, and pay their users for using their service (logically paid for from the advertising revenue Yahoo makes). For the last years I've settled on Search Lotto which pays you in the form of syndicate entries in the Euromillions and UK National Lottery Lotto draws. I've won lots of small payouts, which are always paid out to my PayPal account within a few days of the draw. I have to say, I'm genuinely impressed. How it works Once you join Search Lotto , you can either download a browser extension, change your search engine settings in your browser, or just remember to go to their website when searching the Internet. When you've performed 25 searches, they give you a free entry into a lottery draw. You c...

8 years later... a progress update

Wow, it's been over 8 years since I setup this blog, and if I'm completely honest, I'd forgotten it existed! Revisiting it, it looks like things have changed a lot since my last post, and hence the need to update things here. The shutdown of Liberty Reserve meant that I lost a large proportion of the money I had earned through pay-to-click sites etc... This encouraged me to revisit my approach, and work out what to spend my time on, to ensure I was getting back to my principle of earning money with low risk, but additionally low effort. I now keep it simple: Search Lotto - This site basically pays you to use the Yahoo Search engine. It is branded under Search Lotto, but is Yahoo results, with the advertising revenue coming back to you. They pay in the form of Lottery tickets, either UK National Lottery or EuroMillions. I've not won a lot yet, but a few of my syndicates entries have won, and I've been paid out for these direct to my bank account. This is a ...
