Make money completing offers online

College students – interested in easy money?  I definitely am.  Of course, I’m also skeptical when someone offers it to me.  That was before I heard about TreasureTrooper. TreasureTrooper pays you a bit of change to complete offers online.  You fill out some forms on some sites, submit the offer as completed on the TreasureTrooper [...]

Blog for money with Smorty

I was accepted to Smorty yesterday, a site that offers bloggers the chance to get paid to blog. After scoping things out, I believe I’m finally acclimated with everything enough to offer my opinion. When I first logged in, I noticed I was given a Smorty Score on the left hand side. What does it [...]

Trade that spare money

If you’re a college student and you’re lucky enough to have a job, you might have some extra money lying around. Instead of blowing that money, why not invest it in something? No, I’m not talking about the stock market – you don’t have to throw your dough on a random ticker symbol or research [...]

Can’t use a router? Heh, I’ll show them…

Apparently I’m not allowed to use my Linksys router here in the university-owned apartment building.  Through some MAC-cloning, however, I’ve learned to make it work! Seriously though, what’s their problem with routers?  I have a laptop, a desktop and an Xbox 360 to plug into ONE ethernet jack.  Get with the times, people.  There’s no [...]

The reason Google’s PageRank update is late

I sincerely believe that I know why Google’s PageRank update is late – because it has been replaced. With what? It isn’t a very well kept secret. Google mentioned it once back in 2002 and it was met with much skepticism. I put my faith in the big G, however, and now that the PageRank [...]

In need of web design?

I know I just mentioned the Brand Identity Guru in my last post.  However, I just noticed that Scott White’s company is multi-talented.  Not only do they specialize in brand identity and brand marketing, they are also a Boston Web Design company. I checked out their main site (linked above) and so far, I’m pretty [...]

Building a brand

I’m going to be honest with you – beer.pizza.tech isn’t exactly search engine friendly when people are searching for college stuff. A lot of people look at the title to determine whether or not the page is relevant and, well, beer.pizza.tech probably confuses them. So why do I use this name, you ask? I’m trying [...]

What are you working for?

This may come as a shock, but a lot of college students have no idea what they’re doing in college.  Okay, maybe they know what they’re doing now – partying – but they don’t know why they’re attending in the first place.  If you don’t know, why waste the money? Ask yourself this question: what [...]

Avoid the freshman fifteen with exercise

Oh, the freshman fifteen.  What are they?  The fifteen pounds many people pack on during freshman year, when they leave mom’s home cookin’ for a life of constant fast food and microwavable snacks.  Many people don’t want this weight to stay but are unsure of what to do.  They look for the next miracle pill [...]
