and Beyond
Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time.

The advantages of a home based business are evident. Looking at today’s trends in the economy, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the era of large companies offering jobs for life has ended. It’s time to have the courage to bet on yourself again, and a home based business is a good way to do so.
Here are five ways to earn some quick cash to help pay for presents or even help with the monthly bills.
Microworkers. When you sign up on this site, you will immediately be able to browse all available jobs. Almost all of these tasks are simple and can be completed quickly, thus the term “micro” jobs.
Types of jobs posted here include simple sign-ups, website visits, social bookmarking tasks, forum participation, rating videos or articles, voting up contest entries, adding comments, writing reviews or articles, and many others. You may choose to withdraw your pay via Payza or Moneybookers when your earnings reach $9.
i-Say. Join the i-Say panel and earn reward points by creating polls, taking surveys, and sharing your thoughts on products and services you use every day. There are also contests, draws, and monthly points giveaways. Read more about the reward programs here.
Points add up fast, and you can cash them in for American Express gift cards, Amazon gift codes and more. You can donate your earnings to charities like Red Cross. You can even redeem your reward points for cash. PayPal is an option too, and you can redeem for as little as 1,500 points!
SideTick. Social networking on the web is a fun way to stay in touch with friends and family all over the world. Some sites, like SideTick, will pay you to participate!
SideTick uses a point system they call Tickbucks. They’re sort of like frequent flyer miles. The more you participate, the more Tickbucks you earn. Best of all, you redeem them for REAL CA$H.*
Before I forget, let me mention that SideTick, like every other site listed in this post, is free to sign up and use. In fact, you earn a dollar just for signing up.
*You must live in one of these countries: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Israel.
Unique Rewards. Members earn real cash doing what they like to do! Get paid for signing up for free offers, visiting websites, reading e-mails, shopping online, referring friends, and more. Cash rewards are paid through PayPal or by check. There is no minimum payment amount to get paid via PayPal.
Swagbucks. Do you search for stuff online? Of course you do! Do you get paid for searching the web?? If you’re using the search box on Swagbucks you do! Earn Swag Bucks by taking part in activities such as: searching the web, taking surveys, voting in the daily polls, watching videos, finding swag codes, completing special offers, trading in books and video games, and more. The Swag Bucks you earn can be redeemed for merchandise, gift cards, or cash through PayPal.
