How To Make Money Betting On Sports

by John Peters
written by John Peters

Ever made a casual bet on the outcome of a football game with your friends? You’re not alone. Half of all Americans over the age of 15 have made at least one sports bet in the past year.1 Make money with bet !

Betting on the outcome of professional and amateur games is clearly a big market. But until recently, gambling on sports has been illegal in all but a few states in the U.S. Not anymore. Just a few weeks ago, the Supreme Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) that had made gambling on sports illegal. Since then, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Mississippi, and West Virginia have passed bills making betting on sports in their states legal. Right now, Nevada and Delaware have laws that make all forms of sports betting legal, and their citizens are already making (or losing) the big bucks betting on their favorite teams.

How do I make money?

If you live in Nevada or Delaware, you’re already well on your way to be able to make money from betting on sports. In the other four states mentioned above (PA, NJ, WV, MS), it may take awhile for the final regulations to be hammered out, but it will be legal.

If you don’t live in one of those states, don’t worry! The Supreme Court decision means that online and mobile betting is now legal, so there are still a ton of options for you to make money from betting on sports.

Some of the most popular apps for betting on sports are:
FanDuel
DraftKings
TwinSpires

But fear not, bird poo will not be raining from the skies, these birds are actually electric scooters. The electric scooters are available for anyone to use that has the Bird app. Besides the fact that these bird scooters are a nifty new way to get around the city, Bird is also the newest employer of contracted on-demand workers. Paying people through the app, just like Zap Surveys for the work they need done to keep the scooters going.

How to Make Cash With Instagram

by John Peters
written by John Peters

You’re always excited about how many likes you get on your Instagram post, but it’d be more exciting to get paid for those likes. We came up with a pretty awesome way to make cash with Instagram likes

Social media advertising is huge and extremely valuable. Companies will pour money into advertising if it means they can connect to the right customer. And what better way to do so than reaching people on one of the most used social media platforms?

Step 1: Find Your Niche

Question: Why is Instagram advertising so valuable?
Answer: Companies want to reach a specific person that will be interested in their project.

For example, let’s say you start a fishing Instagram page. You make the perfect @name and have the perfect profile picture logo. You post pictures of huge fish, cool ponds and bays, and sentimental fishing pictures.

Let’s fast forward to when you have a ton of followers. You have now created your own niche: An Instagram page full of fishermen. Any company trying to sell a lure or fishing clothes is going to be willing to pay you money to make a post about their product.

Step 2: Get Followers

You have your niche and the page is up. But how do you find people to follow it? This is the hardest part but we have a couple of tricks up our sleeves…

First, you’ll need content. You may have to post for a few weeks without many followers or likes. That’s okay, people aren’t going to follow a page with nothing on it.

Second, you start using hashtags. Use relevant hashtags to your post, that’s how you’ll find the right people. For our fishing example you might use hashtags such as #fishing or #bigbass. And you can use as many hashtags as your heart desires.

Third, follow other people and comment on other fishing posts. This is a great way to directly get your Instagram name out to multiple, specific people.

DO NOT use hashtags such as #likeforlike or #follow4follow because you aren’t going to get the right type of people liking your page. Remember, you need to get followers that campanies want to reach.

Step 3: Find Advertisers

Now that you have all these followers, you can start making money… once you find people willing to pay you. Start with smaller companies. Reach out to companies in your niche through Instagram, Twitter, and their website to tell them you can boost their sales, because you can. You now have a valuable service not only for other companies, but for your audience interested in your niche. In our example, people interested in fishing would be excited to hear about a new crank bait that was just released.

After you find a couple of potential advertisers, you’ll find a perfect price point. Gauge what people are willing to pay and how. You could charge companies a flat rate (one time fee, upfront) or something more creative such as Pay-Per-Like (companies pay $x.xx per like on your post).

In this example, you agree with a lure company that they’ll pay $0.10 per like. You post on Instagram and get 2,100 likes. You just made $210.00 for posting an Instagram picture. I bet you’re more excited about likes now.

6 Things You’re Doing Wrong on Zap Surveys

by John Peters
written by John Peters

How to get extra cash with Zap Surveys ? Here’s a few little tricks for the popular survey app Zap Surveys guaranteed to put some extra cash in your pocket.

1. Daily Check-Ins
Did you realize if you go to the ‘Daily’ section on Zap Surveys, there’s an option to check in by tapping on the day? Every day that you do this, you’re throwing another 3 cents on top of your current balance, getting you that much closer to your next cash out.

2. Location Rewards
Another quick way to effortlessly earn more money on the go is enabling Zap Surveys to know your location, which allows for promotions from various companies to be displayed on your notification screen. Opening these notifications results in instant earnings for as much as $0.25 per swipe!

3. Social Media
Head over to the ‘More’ tab and hit the Share button. You get $0.50 for sharing the app on Facebook and another $0.50 for Tweeting, so make sure you let all of your followers know how easy it is to make a little extra cash.

4. Referral Codes
While you’re still on that ‘More’ tab, you’ll also see your personal Referral ID. Make sure all your friends and followers you just shared the app with to use this code so you get an extra $0.15 per person, and anyone that uses your code gets $0.75!

5. Challenges
Head back to the ‘Daily’ tab and you’ll notice there are also progressive challenges you can do which result in some sweet bonuses. The first of these is logging in for 45 days in a row, which nets a $0.75 payout. Couple this with your daily reward and you’ll make over $2.00 without even having to take any surveys.

6. Daily Tickets
Stay on the ‘Daily’ tab and head down to the Daily Pick’n Win section. Claiming this ticket every day gives you multiple entries to a regularly held sweepstakes! The more tickets you’ve collected the bigger the chance you earn whatever prize value is currently being offered.

Profit Off the Solar Eclipse

by John Peters
written by John Peters

​There’s a ton of hype around the solar eclipse coming up on August 21, 2017 (They’re rarer than the common expression, it only happens once in a blue moon).

So there’s a ton of hype around this eclipse and millions of people are going to go out to see it. Unfortunately, you’ll burn your eyes if you look at the eclipse without special glasses compliant with ISO 12312-2, an international safety standard.

Here’s the trick:

  1. Pretty much the only way to get these glasses is online, which most people aren’t going to do in advance.
  2. These glasses are flimsy and can be bought for $3-$4 when bought in a pack of 100 or more

What do you have with this information? A lot of people who didn’t think ahead and are willing to pay a lot more than $3 or $4 for this once in a lifetime experience.

Our advice: 
Make the investment of $300.00 to buy 100 sunglasses. Sell the sunglasses at $15.00 each starting the weekend before August 21, 2017. On the actual day of the eclipse, sell the sunglasses for $20.00 each.

Your projected profit off of these glasses is estimated to be around $1,750–a profit of $1,450.

But don’t forget to keep a pair for yourself and enjoy the eclipse!

Two Ways To Buy Smarter

by John Peters
written by John Peters

1. Don’t Buy Knock Offs:
We’ve all bin there, standing in the aisle, with two options in front of us, a quality name brand product or a knock off product for half the price. The half price item is overwhelmingly tempting, after all it is the same thing just a different brand right, WRONG. These knock off brand products are made with much cheaper materials and are poorly constructed. You will end up back at the store buying the knock off brand time and time again after each one breaks until you finally buy the name brand and your kicking yourself for all the money you wasted by trying to save money. For example, I was at the store trying to buy a phone charger. The name brand charger was $30 bucks, what moron would buy that when there a dozens of cheaper options, I thought to myself. I went with the $8 dollar box that came with 2 chargers and walked away confident I made the smart choice. A week later both chargers had snapped off at the tip. Now I had to go back to the store, and spend more of my time and money on this problem that I could have solved already. Don’t be me and spend good money the first time and never look back.

2. Always Ask For Coupons:
Couponing can be a time consuming process, that many of us busy bees aren’t willing to spend time on. It can be annoying to navigate the soup of deals at stores and it all seems purposely hard to grapple with. Why can’t stores just automatically give all their customers the best deal. Stores purposely make it hard for everyone to find the best deal in an attempt to separate price conscious customers from less frugal ones. The people not willing to do the work to find the deal will pay full price and the people only willing to purchase the product with a sale will find the deal and make the purchase. This is what economists call a separating equilibrium, which allows the store to get the most our of ever customer. But there is a simple and easy way around the retail stores games. Once you get to the counter simply ask the clerk if there are any coupons or deals, most stores policy is that they have to give you the coupon or deal. Even if you didn’t do the work to find the coupon and align your purchases to the best deals you still get the best possible price! There is almost always a deal purposely hidden for only price conscious consumers to find, but with a simple ask, all consumers can easily get sale prices on their items. So next time your watching that clerk ring up your items, don’t be afraid to ask him to reduce the price, most of the time they will.

Save that Dime

by John Peters
written by John Peters

What does $0.10 mean to you? If you’re walking down a street and see a dime, would you pick it up? Probably not, I mean it’s only 10 cents and its no lucky penny.

Imagine if you saved no more than $1.00 every day. It doesn’t have to be a lot, we’ll say something like a dime or a quarter. What would happen to this money 10 to 30 years from now?

The best tactic here is to put the money in an investment account. Albert Einstein once said that “the most powerful force in the world is compounding interest.” Let’s take a look at how far your quarter a day could go.exponential curve for savings

In 30 years, your daily quarter could be worth over $15,000. Next time you want to buy a gumball, take a second to think about how much that quarter is really worth!
