More Swagbuck tips

Swagbucks is a great cash back savings site. How Long Does it take to Make Money on Swagbucks?I've tried it and it really works. I wrote a complete review on Hubpages. Now the rub...it takes a while to earn ln Swagbucks but you can do it. As mentioned on Hubpages, take it slow. If you really, really work at it, figure you'll make like $6 an hour. I slow it down and try to earn $6 a month. That way I don't get burned out and mess with the App only when I deem my time the cheapest...like if I'm waiting for a train or something like that where I have nothing better to do.
Some more tips:


In addition to my Hubpages post
1. As with all money savings sites, I suggest taking the money and running, what I mean is, unless you see an incentive (either personal or within the site) when you reach minimum cash-out, take it. The most complaints I see on any savings App (all of them, not necessarily Swagbucks) read something like "I accumulated $100 and I can't withdraw it." Is that a problem? It certainly is but if minimum cashout is $10, try cashing out when its only $10 instead of waiting the extra time to reach $100 then realizing a problem.
2. Use Swagbucks referral link when you can. Especially with friends who want to try it, then your friends can use it. This will make signing up for them easier and you'll earn bonus bucks whenever they earn Swagbucks.
3.



So I'll shamelessly add a referral link click here to sign up . If you have a friend or relative already using Swagbucks, use their referral link, not mine, it'll benefit their earnings, but otherwise if you don't know anyone with Swagbucks, free to use mine, show me some love :) (or just visit the Website)




By the way there is other good, legit money saving sites that I'm personally trying. I hope to have more reviews up soon.


These sites relate to saving on groceries, rebates claimed by taking photo's of receipts from a variety of companies as well as apps that tie to you credit card and automatically locate savings / rebates for you. I love the idea of utilizing the internet to save on common  goods we buy anyway. There are a lot of ways out there to successfully save more cash

Why can't I log into ing capitol One password username

So you are asking yourself ,"Why can't I log into ing Capitol One when it seems I am using the correct password and username. I had this problem logging in and wound up doing a pass word reset with customer service. For the record I don't know if I have the right answer but I think I inadvertently figured out what I was doing wrong.

During my customer care conversation. She asked for my user name. I gave it to her, it was in capitol letters and she told me that it doesn't consider whether case matters. In other words case doesn't matter... r does it? After she sent my temporary password to reset my account, i still struggled to log on stating my username/password is in correct. So, I tried the username in lowercase and the temporary pass word and it worked !

I wish I tried that before I reset the ID because that might have been my problem

Where To Locate How Much I Make on YouTube Adsense Partnership Program

Finding your Adsense earnings through the YouTube Partnership program is pretty easy to do but like many things easy on your computer, the navigation path is not all that easy.  Regardless if you want to find out how much you are making on YouTube via the partner program, you have come to the right place. I'll even include a brief video you You Tube to show you how.

If you are not on the Google Adsense program and you are not a YouTube partner, this will not apply to you as you would not currently be able to earn on YouTube. There are other resources out there that will help you to set up an make money on Adsense.

So to in order to find the money you are making on YouTube via Adsense partner just do the following

Step 1

Log into your YouTube account

Step 2

Click on your icon photo in the top right corner of the Youtube screen

Step 3

Click on the setting button which appears as a sprocket

Step 4

New window/screen opens and click on "View Additional Features" toward the bottom left within this window.

Step 5

Click on "Analytics" in the left column of the screen

Step 6

The down under the "Performance" section you will see your YouTube earning statistics / metrics in the form of minutes watched, amount of views and importantly how much you have earned. There  is a date just above all of this that shows you the range. Mine is set for showing one month of statistics / earnings but you can change that if you want a specific date range.

I also included a video tutorial below on how to do this.

How to Get Amazon Refund and Ship Label Return Package at UPS Store


 If you are looking to return goods on Amazon it works out easier than you might think. I finally did this just today and it worked out pretty good.   Make sure you double check Amazon’s terms and return policy as this might not be 100% up to date when you read it (things sometimes change)  but it should come close.

So I bought pants that felt too tight from Amazon. I still had the Amazon box and the packaging materials it came in. I highly recommend keeping the packaging until you know you want to keep the goods.  I logged into my account, looked up my pant order and went through the simple return process.  At the end of the process on-line, there is no refund / credit of money just yet.  Amazon emails you a link so you can print a UPS ( United Parcel Service) label.

I printed the label from work since my printer at home hasn’t been working. Since I did not have blank labels to print on, I printed on a normal blank sheet of paper, cut out the label and affixed to the box using a large wide piece of clear tape.  If you do this make sure you do not crease or bubble the tape over the label. You don’t want to mar the writing or especially the bar code.   Then I looked up the local UPS store and dropped the box off.

I  asked the UPS store what would happen if I had no way of printing the label?   They said I could forward the label email Amazon sent to me to the store and they would print out but there would be a charge ($5 at the moment). If you need to do this, call your local store first and find out.

I also asked what would happen if I was able to print the label but had no way of properly affixing it to the box? They said they can do that at no extra charge.    That said, always call first to make sure this policy does not change.

Lastly, I asked if I print the label but can’t drop it off the same day, can I drop it off another day?  They said I could do this…. But again, check first as policies change.


So after I dropped it off at the UPS store drop off, they told me to wait while they scanned and make a receipt. Took just a minute.  About an hour after scanning I got an email stating Amazon was processing the refund and it would show on my account in  a few days.

Samsung S4 Galaxy Turn off Text Message Arrived Notification Sound but Keep Icon

Every time I get a text message I typically have my phone set to show the message arrived icon on my cell phone’s status bar and it also vibrates when I get new texts. I just got a new Samsung Galaxy 4 and noticed that in addition to the vibrate and new message icon (that little envelope at the top of the screen that appears in the status bar) I was also getting a notification sound ( a ring / beep etc ) when new text messages arrived

While in the text message mode I was able to turn off the sound in settings by doing this …….press text message icon, press menu button on phone in lower left corner, settings, scroll down to notification settings – Uncheck “Notifications make sounds and show icon status bar when you receive new text messages….

How to Print Email in Color on Outlook


So maybe you were having the same issue I was when printing emails off of Outlook.  When I would go to print to either a color copier or color printer it would come out in black and white.   It got to the point where I thought possibly copier only printed in black and white but this was not the case.   Actually the bulk of my problem was that my color emails would print out by default in black and white to a copier / printer that was capable of color but by default prints to black and white. Anyway…..

So the solution to this is pretty easy but for some reason I don’t think it is quite as intuitive as it should be.  So you better grasp it, I’ll do a step by step instruction with some screen shot images as well to hopefully help you through this task.  I am using Microsoft Outlook 2010 but this probably works on other versions as well.
