Shop.com- Save More on Your Online Purchases!

Filed under Cash Back Sites by Jennifer Billy on April 29, 2012 at 5:57 pm {no comments}

I have recently partnered with a new company and wanted to introduce the Shop.com site to you as well as all of the amazing savings opportunities they offer. I am excited to share with you my very own shopping portal- ShoppingWithJenn.com.

Shop.com has partnered with over 3,500 name brand stores and companies (Target, Best Buy, Barnes & Nobles, Apple…) in addition to offering 2,500 exclusive products and services. Therefore, creating one of the largest internet shopping sites on the planet! Shop.com is designed to help shoppers save money while also offering cash back on their purchases. I invite you to create a FREE account and try it out.

Why do sites offer cash back on your purchases?

Online advertising is the future of marketing. Retailers can no longer advertise and get the same results on TV due to TiVo & DVR’s letting consumers bypass their commercials, so they are now switching to ONLINE forms of advertising.

What sites like Shop.com does is share the advertising revenues with it’s buyers. So every time you make a purchase by clicking through to one of their thousands and thousands of partner stores, like Target, Macy’s, Home Depot, Kmart and many more, you will earn cash back on that purchase.

Shop.com not only will pay you up to 50% cash back on YOUR purchases, but also ½% cash back on all your Referrals purchases. I find that I make a lot more money by getting a percentage of my referrals purchases then just getting a bonus if and when a referral makes their first purchase. It is a recurring income that can really add up.

Shop.com also makes shopping online easier by listing all the coupon codes, like free shipping, that are currently available for the store you are looking to make a purchase from. It takes the work out of having to search your e-mails and online for any savings.

What makes Shop.com different?

Shop.com is much more then just a cash back site. Yes, they do offer cash back and coupon codes to help you save. However, Shop.com is a complete shopping portal. Here are some of the benefits of shopping with Shop.com-

Hot Deals- most people shop online to save money. Shop.com has gone out and found some of the top deals and combined them with any promotional codes available. Just click the code and it will automatically be applied for you at checkout.
Price Alerts- set a price on what you want to pay for a product and they will e-mail you when the product hits that price point.
Comparison Shopping- designed to save you time and money. Instead of going from site to site looking to see who has the best price, with one click, Shop.com can compare prices from thousands of partner stores! I LOVE this feature!
MA Travel- Shop.com has partnered with Travelocity of offer shoppers exclusive deals and savings. Often times the savings can be 10-15% lower then Travelocity’s own site!
Product Brokerage Firm- save money on your everyday household items by switching to one or more of Shop.com’s 2,500 exclusive products and services. I will be introducing some of these products to you so you can save money without having to wait for a sale or coupon.I love to coupon, but with two kids and running two businesses, I know how hard it can be sometimes to find time to get your deals and coupons together. I even hope to offer exclusive savings here on Money Savings Secrets Blog.
EZcart- Multi-Merchant, one cart checkout and autoship for easy reordering.

Please head over to ShoppingwithJenn and sign up for your free account. I would really love your feedback. Currently, the cash back is not as high as other sites. However, they are still working on some updates that will make the site like no other. The cash back will be increasing as well as the savings on many of the products.

If you would like to learn more about the benefits of Shop.com or the new features that will be added just contact me to set up a 20 minute web portal tour. I am excited to be partnering with this amazing company now and even more excited to see the new developments that will be coming soon!

Love Shop.com? Make sure to share with your friends and earn ½% cash back on all their purchases!

This week I am going to introduce you to Global Test Market. Global Test Market is one of my favorite survey sites. They not only pay for taking surveys but you also get paid for the screeners. Most of the surveys I have completed have paid between 30-40 MarketPoints and take about 20 minutes to complete. I have also earned 5 MarketPoints for screeners I have taken but have not qualified for the survey.

I have earned 210 MarketPoints so far with Global Test Market, which is about $10.50. You can cash out once you hit 1,000 MarketPoints for a $50 check. Hopefully I will be able to receive my first check by the end of the year.

Make Money With Surveys- SurveyHead

Filed under Survey Sites by Jennifer Billy on February 16, 2010 at 11:04 am {2 comments}

Every week I am going to introduce you to a new survey site that I am currently participating in and feel is a good company.To find out how to get started with surveys go HERE.

This week I am going to introduce you to SurveyHead. The great thing about SurveyHead is that they will start you out with $5 just for signing up. They typically pay between $1 and $3 for surveys.

Unfortunately I have not qualified for a lot of their surveys so I only have $7.20 in my account. My biggest problem with this is that I do not check my e-mail daily so by the time I try to do the surveys they have already been filled, especially the higher paying ones. So I am going to try to check my surveys more often. My new goal is to qualify for at least one survey 5 times a week. This should help me hit my goal of $250 this year from surveys.

SurveyHead pays out at $25. You can cash out in paypal, gift cards or donations.

You can go HERE to register with SurveyHead.

Make Money With Surveys- Consumer Village

Filed under Survey Sites by Jennifer Billy on February 9, 2010 at 10:42 am {2 comments}

Every week I am going to introduce you to a new survey site that I am currently participating in and feel is a good company.To find out how to get started with surveys go HERE.

This week I am going to talk about Consumer Village. Consumer Village is a bit different then other survey companies because not only can you earn tokens by doing surveys but you can earn tokens by joining in dialogue discussions, answering flash polls and even doing high payout in-person focus groups and product testing. Most surveys pay 100 tokens or more and dialogue/polls will pay 30 tokens.

Consumer Village pays in Amazon gift cards. You will earn your first $5 gift card with 500 tokens. However as your tokens increase your payout will also increase.

You can go HERE to join Consumer Village.
