Incentive Programmes
ipoints is a well established incentive scheme where you earn points
from your own on-line shopping plus points for
visiting sites, completing surveys and reading e-mails. Earn from purchases of computer products,
books, CDs, videos, insurance, flowers, electrical
goods and more and choose from a list of products
including high street gift vouchers, flight
vouchers, and vouchers or products from the
associate companies including music systems and games consoles.
There are always loads of free points available.
I've earned myself DVD's, CD's and a music system
so far almost without buying anything, and I've
almost got enough for a games console.

GET
PAID FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE
Keen.com Unlike the other sites where you
post your replies or reports, Keen operates a
telephone service where you state your expertise
and then get paid when somebody telephones you to
discuss the topic and obtain your advice. The call
revenue is split between you and the company so
obviously there is more potential to make money
here if you are happy to chat to people. If you'd
rather not have people phoning you up, there is
also the option to record a message instead, or
provide a standard text report.
