Yesterday, I ranted on about Netwinner's sweeping changes and declared that I did not feel it a viable way to earn extra money. Sure, if you have the time to devote to it, it may pay off. But it is definitely going to take a lot longer since Netwinner changed the rules on how often you can play.
Enter MSN Live Search Club. I have been a member for about a year. Now, I am not going to say that this site is a money maker; it isn't. However, it is also a free gaming site, where you can play as much as you want, all day if you want to do so. The prizes seem to wax and wane, it used to have movie tickets, who knows, those may come back. The Xbox has been out of stock for quite a while, but a Microsoft Zune can be yours for a mere 20,000 points. The most points that a game gives is 25 points per game and that is Flexicon. However, if you love crossword puzzles, you will love Flexicon. I happen to enjoy a good crossword and I can easily complete 3 puzzles in about 15 minutes or so, give or take. I usually play this site on a lazy Sunday afternoon and try to amass a few hundred points or so. I currently have 12,000 odd points and am aiming for the Zune. If you are interested in learning more about the games available, please read my article about MSN Live Search.
There are other prizes such as airline miles for Delta, American and other airlines, ring tones, t-shirts, hats, music downloads, a web cam, some Xbox games (Microsoft Fable Platinum, Microsoft Project Gotham Racing 3) a Microsoft wireless controller, a faceplate for your Xbox, the Zune, a wireless Bluetooth keyboard... the list goes on. I do note, however, the software and hardware items do have a limit to one per household. However, if you are in the market for any of these items, playing a few games a day will net you a nice prize.
I do recommend MSN Live Search because it currently doesn't limit your number of games, and this site is an ideal way to get codes to download music. It doesn't take a lot of time to amass enough points to cash out for a small prize such as that, and if you have a teenager with an Ipod (or a husband with a Nano!) it is an excellent way to get something for free, save a bit of your time. MSN Live Search can be accessed by clicking here.
One last thing, this site runs best if your computer is up to date on Flash. Some games were giving me some trouble, a problem with Adobe. If you experience the same error and you are running the most current version, do drop them a line. Also, sometimes it won't run in Firefox, but will in IE. If that is the case, switch browsers and see if that helps.
Editing to add that if you don't sign in until you are ready to cash out (for Seekadoo and other games giving the Adobe 9 error) you can play fine with no problems. Just sign in and it should deposit your points into your account.
