Nielsen Company is now accepting a limited number of volunteers for their product rating Homescan division.  I wanted to give my you the opportunity to apply due to the fact that if you are selected then you will receive special rewards and incentives which is something I love to find for my blog readers.

In addition to the bonuses that you’ll receive from Nielsen Ratings, you’ll also receive recognition as one of their select panel members.  The reason why that is so special is because your personal opinions on consumer products will not only represent millions of Americans, but you will also be influencing some of the worlds largest retailers and product manufacturers.  How often do we get a chance at doing that?

Instead of being a restaurant critic, you get the opportunity to be a product rating critic. You don’t have to possess any special skills except an opinion on what you feel are the best products on the market today.  Nielsen will send you a special electronic device for you to record the choices you make with the products you personally buy.

If you’d like to become a member of Nielsen Ratings Homescan family, I’ve provided a banner link below to check it out.  Just click on the banner and you’ll be taken to their application page.  I hope this gets you a lot of great goodies and some recognition!!!

Well friends, this is something I’ve been meaning to put together for a while now.  The economic climate we find outselves in has everyone cinching up their belt and looking for ways to both make and save a little extra cash.

I’ve found some great ways to supplement my income and I am devoting this blog to helping others bring in a few more dollars a month as well as looking for ways to save for the future.  Some of us may be looking for a job, others might be facing retirement, some of you might be going to college.  Whatever the case might be; we all could use a little extra money.

My first tip for bringing in a few dollars more, was presented to me a few months ago.  We’ve all heard of Nielsen Ratings.  Best known for monitoring what is popular on television through statistical sampling of about 5000 homes across the U.S.  My wife and I actually got to be part of the Nielsen Ratings Family back in 1992.  We were paid a few bucks for our assistance.

As it turns out, Nielsen Ratings has expanded into monitoring the Internet too.  That makes sense when you figure that Internet use has exploded and the way I figure it, will probably merge with what we know as the TV anyway.

The reason I bring Nielsen Ratings up is because they are now accepting volunteers for their Internet Project.  They pay a small sum of money each quarter for volunteering.  The best part is, you don’t have to log or report anything.  They have software that you download that keeps track of the data.  They also give you a chance at winning some much larger prizes that could give you a heck of a lot more than the quarterly payment your guaranteed for your participation.  The way I see it, it’s free money without any work involved.  Plus it’s sorta cool to casually mention to your friends that your a Nielsen Ratings family member.  If you’d like to check into it, here is the info page on applying.

I’ve got lots more tips and tricks on making and saving money and I look forward to sharing them with you.  Feel free to post things that you’ve found helpful in doing the same.
