This is how cashcrate works... http://www.cashcrate.com/3193377

These are some pretty common questions I've been asked, and have seen other people ask in many places.

1. Is CashCrate a Scam?
No, CashCrate is not a scam. They always pay at the same time at the end of every month and I have always been paid on time. I've also always been quickly and accurately credited for my referrals.

2. Does CashCrate Cost Anything?
No, CashCrate does not cost anything. Signing up is free. There are hundreds of free offers. Some people chose to complete the "credit card required trial offers" because these pay a little more. These offers are tricky, as you need to cancel the offer in a certain period of time to avoid being charged later. I find it easiest to do the "100% Free" offers, as you can make around $100 a month from those, and that's fine. The rest can be made with referrals.

3. Is Completing CashCrate Offers Hard and how do you do it?
Completing CashCrate’s offers are actually quite easy. It's repetitive work, though. I find it helpful to download a program called RoboForm, which fills out the forms for you. Also, you should be informed that you must clear cookies after every few offers completed, so that the advertising companies think that you have never been to their site before (they are not interested in paying the same person twice for his opinion.)

4. Is Completing CashCrate Offers Time Consuming?
Not usually. The most important way to limit how much time an offer takes it to very carefully read the description of each offer.  CashCrate 's offer descriptions tell you EXACTLY what you need to do to make money on an offer. For example, if an offer description says "complete the first 2 pages and confirm email," then don't continue beyond two pages and then confirm the email and move on to the next offer. Also, many pages have a "skip" button at the bottom or top. If the page has a skip button, USE IT. You're basically trying to complete each offer completely as described, but are being mindful of not making extra work for yourself.

5. Is Your Personal Information Shared?
CashCrate does require an address and phone number to which to send your checks. However, CashCrate DOES NOT share this information with clients. So, you chose which email, address (P.O. Box, etc.) and phone number (cell, answering service) to give. I do give my home address and have never had a problem. I do have an offer only email account that I use only for offers. This keeps my personal email from getting filled with spam.

6. How Much Money Will I Make With CashCrate?
The amount of money you can make with CashCrate depends greatly on how much time you put in. I basically complete free offers in the morning before my kids wake up, during naps, and for a little while before bed. Doing this alone (only free offers) has netted me plenty of spending money for our family's "extras." I no longer feel guilty when I treat my kids to a trip to the mall or amusement park. Also, you can earn prizes like a free Xbox 360, a free IPod Shuffle, or a free IPod video. If you're going for these prizes, then you will complete offers for points instead of cash. Some offers pay as much as 300 points. Once you've earned enough points, you then pick your prize and cash out.

7. Do you have to get referrals to make money on CashCrate?
Absolutely not. You can make great money on without recruiting any referrals. I did not seek referrals until I had been with CashCrate for over three months. During those three months, I made nearly $200 extra per month only on offers/surveys I took myself. But, over time my friends and neighbors started to ask where I was getting all this extra money and I found that CashCrate 's referral system is in fact very generous. Plus, I'm very comfortable recommending CashCrate because I know it's a quick, easy legitimate way to make money when I have extra time. I know that if I refer CashCrate to someone, they can set their own work times and make easy money.

8. How Long Does It Take Offers To Clear?
Once you complete an offer, you have to "submit" that offer to CashCrate to be paid. Then, CashCrate will send you an email once the client has paid you. Some people are confused that the offer  does not automatically credit. They think they aren't being paid. This is not the case. Most offers send a confirming email within a few hours, some take a few days. Rarely, a few will take a few weeks.

9. How Can I Find Out which Offers Clear The Fastest?
There are a few websites where the authors will list which offers have cleared quickly. There are also a few lists on CashCrate’s forums. I always check these and make sure I complete the "quick, easy" offers first.

10. Are There Any Restrictions For Recruiting?
CashCrate does not allow you to "spam" to recruit. You are not allowed to post on social websites like Facebook or MySpace. I don't even have to recruit. My friends just noticed I suddenly had more money and I offered to email them CashCrate 's link. Then I put my referral number in the link. CashCrate makes it very easy to cut and paste your referral link.

I hope these CashCrate FAQ have been helpful and will make your CashCrate experience a positive one!

These THINGS are so Addictive

I've been becoming more friendly with Raw Smoothies, for health reasons, and because they are so darn good!  I never thought I could make my own smoothies taste the way they do.  I experiment so very much.  This is one of the smoothies I made this week.  So good that now DH is asking what's in it! go figure huh?
I was suppose to use Romaine Lettuce with this one, but I used Kale(which is like Turnip, Mustard, or Collard Greens).  Mixed in bananas, ginger root(I wasn't used to cooking with ginger, so I threw the skin of the ginger(1/4") into the blender), apple, and pears.  This was the yummiest!  I'm so addicted.  Yesterday, I made a watermelon, bluberry, kiwi, kale smoothie.  I can go on and on, but here are a few snaps of the the ginger root smoothie!

The Chihuahua and the Owl

So, my DH called me this morning as I was on my way in to work, and said he just saw something really funny on the news.


A dog fell from the sky, and hit the top of someone's hood. I know, that part wasn't the funniest. He then goes on to say that an owl was trying to chase it away, but picked it up. I asked, why would an owl pick a dog(a little Chihuahua). Well, due to the fact that there is a lot of snow around, the Owl's can not see the ground, so they are targeting small animals. So, after the dog fell from the sky, it was on the news with its owner. The torture this dog must go through. They brought an owl in the same room with the dog, and the dog was still so shaken. He's a very quick learner. LOL Poor puppy! Watch after your small animals in the snow!
