WeAre8: The People's Platform

Have you checked out the WeAre8 app?  I did and was skeptical at first, but then started using it in the past month I have made $86.00.  Sure, it all hasn’t hit my bank account yet, but it will be.

What is We Are 8, you may ask?  Get creative and get paid!  What is We Are 8, you may ask?  I got this from their Facebook page:

At 8, we build relationships between brands and millions of people. On 8, everyone on the planet is economically rewarded when they share or create high-quality brand content. Get creative. Get Paid.

How does it work?

1.) Download the WeAre8 app & accept sponsorships from brands you love.

2.) Depending on the sponsorship, either share or create branded content on your social media account(s).

3.) Get paid through your PayPal account.

4.) Do it again!

And it is fun.  I am having a ball and putting money in my packet to boot.  Check it out, there website is https://www.weare8.com/ And no, I do not get a referral fee.

Side Hustle: From Idea to Income in 27 Days - Book Review

I read about Side Hustle from a finance blog that I regularly read and thought this is a book that I WANT to read.  I’d love to have a side hustle to make extra cash.  Who wouldn’t?  Anyway, after reading the book, I found it isn’t really easy to do it in 27 days.  You’d really have to hustle, try and come up with an idea (although he does suggest stealing other ideas.  And first, it would have to be something I am passionate about to put all that time and energy into such idea.

Don’t get me wrong, I think that he has some great ideas and if one wants to be an entrepreneur, it could help.   And if one doesn’t know where to begin, this book would be helpful in getting that ball rolling.  And isn’t that what we all need, to get a push and get the proverbial ball rolling?

Overall, it is good for the beginner, although it doesn’t add anything new if you have been through this before or read other books on the subject.

The latest app that I have installed on my phone is FetchRewards.  It's a free app that turns grocery receipts into rewards.  All you have to do is scan any grocery receipt, and earn points towards awesome rewards (gift cards). You'll earn at least 1% on all listed brands and products, and gain access to exclusive offers that earn you even more points. No more entering codes, completing tasks or jumping through any hoops! Just scan your grocery receipt, and get rewarded.  I have been using it for two weeks and have accumulated 4,000 points, and I only shop once a week.  As an example, 3,000 points gets you a $3 gift card.

Use my referral code, QT6PD, during signup and you'll get 3,000 Fetch Points ($3.00 in points!) just for starting.

Happy New Year!

Wow, the whole month of December and I didn’t write a single blog post.  It was like I had a time out.  Many reasons for that.  One, I was busy with the holidays. Two, I wasn’t in the mood. And three, I had nothing to say.

I hope that everyone had a happy holiday and enjoyed themselves.  I know I did.  I was able to see my daughter twice in December (and she lives over 1,000 miles away).  Family time is important to me and we got to spend some quality time, just never enough.

I wasn’t in the mood.  Do you ever that feeling when you don’t want to do something?  I had that last month.  I just couldn’t get into writing; whether for this blog or in general.  It was certainly a blah moment for my creative juices.

Lastly, I had nothing to say.  I wasn’t going to talk about the stock market dropping. I think by now we all know about that.  It didn’t help my net worth, but I continue to strive for financial independence.

It’s a new year and a new year brings hope.  And for those who make resolutions, more power to you.  MY resolution is, nope, not to write more, but to run more.  I have become inspired to run the Walt Disney World Marathon Dopey Challenge in 2022 for my 60th birthday.  I haven’t run since last January, so it is time to train.

If you are reading this, Happy New Year and you may see new posts in 2019.  Carry on!
