The CashCrate Blog

June’s contest is here! Bring in the summer with a nice boost to your check, just by doing what you do anyway–earning! This month we’re giving away nice cash prizes to the top ten members who earn the most money doing offers and daily surveys. Check your placement on the Leaderboard in the Members Area. Good luck!

Sorry for the late announcement! We have decided to hold a referral contest for May with $500 in prizes to be awarded to the users who refer the most new members who complete at least one offer or daily survey. As usual, you can check out the contests page to see how you’re doing. Good luck everyone and get referring!

The March contest was a tremendous success with over $600 given away in cash prizes, so we’ve decided to do it again! This time we are awarding the top 20 users who earn the most by completing offers and surveys. Check out the contests page to see where you’re currently sitting on the leaderboard.

Check out our contests page for details on this month’s contest. In March we’re rewarding users who earn the most money by completing offers and doing daily surveys. There are 15 prizes in total, and hundreds of dollars to win, so go check it out!

We’ve just announced our latest contest, which will run until the end of February. You can check out all the prizes by visiting the contest page, but to sum it up, we’re giving a bunch of money away to the users who earn the most money through offers and daily surveys, as well as rewarding users who refer the most active users.

It’s a short month, so you best get started!

We’re going to be releasing several cool way to interact with CashCrate.com over the next couple of months. The first is here–it’s a handy way to track offers so you’re updated automatically when new offers are added. For those of you familiar with RSS, you can add our feed URL to your current reader and you’re set.

If you’re not familiar with RSS, don’t worry. It’s really easy. RSS is a simple way of keeping up with your favorite blogs and other content without having to go to individual websites for updates. If you have a Google account, you can use Google Reader to get started.

While you’re at it, you may as well add the CashCrate Blog to your reader as well. Now, whenever we add new offers or make new blog posts, you’ll be updated automatically via your Reader!

We’re excited to announce CashCrate Games, a project we’ve been working on for a while that will be a lot of fun for our members, not to mention our staff. We have a bunch of cool games available, like Solitaire, Pool, Mega Stars, and several others.

Players use CashCrate points to enter tournaments against others and the winners get a bunch of points added to their account, which they can then use to buy cool gifts in our Prize Shop. The games are totally free to download, so check them out! We’ll see ya in the tournaments.

We at CashCrate hope your holidays are going well, and hope you have a happy new year tonight and tomorrow. It’s been a blast working with all our great members over the last year, and we look forward of plenty of great things to come in 2009. Thanks everyone!

This week’s tip comes from our forums care of briguy:

My tip…To set yourself apart from the rest. Invest in a good domain name and webhosting! Free blogs and free websites are excellent for people starting out, but personally I feel that having your own domain name and hosting is the “key” to long term succe$$ from the Internet.

We can back him on this, too. Some of our best referrers have their own domain and web hosting, it’ll help out with the search engines and really help your cause. Want to start earning some extra cash? You can sign-up and get started today.
