Check into rewards programs and cash back offers

Once you get into a rewards program, you want to look around and kick the tires.  You might not even be aware of all the different ways to get those points rolling in.

Some people think just about the regular rewards programs, but you might have access from other sources.  The big banks might offer some cash back or rewards programs.  

You are already buying stuff in the real world.  Getting some of that cash back with your credit cards and debit cards is a great idea.  Just by using your card and using the program.  This is like a no brainer.  

The one thing about some of the rewards programs are the expiration dates.  They might not last for a long time and that can suck.  

Check to see if your bank accounts and debit cards are eligible for cash back and rewards.  Just think about some of those tasks that you are going to do anyway.  

Are you going to the pumps to fill up on gas?  Sure, the gas prices are already low, but every extra penny of savings is still great.  

Flip the online script

Creating your own website to talk about the stuff that you want is not that hard to do.  You can come up with a easy blog on blogger and get the ball rolling in the direction of the free stuff.

The time that you have that is free could be used to write a quick blog post or record a fast video.  Once those content pieces are done, you are dropping little pebbles into online passive income accounts.

Just like putting a cup on a table and adding your change to it, over time it will grow.  You could do the same with your blogging.

The blog might be an easy location to share your thoughts.  When could the blogging pay off?  You won't know that until you try it.

What is your online love?  What is your online passion?  You might want all kinds of stuff.  Do you want to use your gift cards for buying dvds?  Are you going to use your gift cards to get clothes or electronics?  You can talk about it on your free blog.

A blogger account is also good because you are creating content.  It is a chance to build up your writing and video talent.  You are typing or getting articles created.  You are building up your communication skills.  This is real skill building that could change into other online opportunities.

Start with and idea and push it in the online space.  Get the referral links.  Think about building an online community.  Think about building up a newsletter or an email list.  There is no limit to it.

You might want to test the waters of the affiliate marketing world as a result.  Your writing could even lead to creating your own ebook.  Just get started on the road to using the internet for getting the stuff that you want.

Setting Goals and Getting Creative

Brainstorm on how you can create some value.  What are people looking for online that fits right in with what you can offer?  

Think about all the different places where people want to get something online?  They might be people sitting at home or surfing the web on their computer.  How could you create something that grabs attention?

Brainstorming for new ideas is not really a new concept.  Just think about adding it to your online toolkit.  Write down as many different ideas as you can think of.  The next step in brainstorming is to create a quick plan.

Your plan might be to just try one new thing in getting stuff online.  The idea might work or it could flop.  Not a big deal.  You are just trying new things.

Keep on going through the creative list.  You might come up with an idea for a quick blog.  Map out some fast and interesting blog posts and give it a go.  

Testing and trying new things is a way to learn.  You might pick up some more skills that are helpful.

Create a list of the stuff that you want to get.  You probably did this a lot as a kid.  Creating a list and checking it twice provides some focus.

Knowing what you want is half of the effort.  Staying motivated after you get started is another key.  Your creative idea list and your want list should be in your view daily.

The goals are all created.  Now, just start reaching for them.

Racking up Points

Getting into the right frame of mind is part of the online hustle of getting stuff online.  You don't want to go about it in the wrong way.  You want to do it smart.

Racking up points for tasks that you already perform everyday seems like a good first starting point.  You are going to search the web.  Are you going to do it on mobile device?  Are you going to do it on a desktop computer?  The bottom line is that you are going to pull up a search engine page or enter a search on the toolbar to get information.  Getting points for doing it is a good idea.

If you find a good program, you want to share it with friends so they can benefit too.  You do this all the time.  They have a big word for it called referral marketing, but it is just passing some good information to friends ( Social marketing ).  Getting some extra points for directing people to your link is not a big deal. 

Think about how you can really scale up the referrals.  Getting more people earning points only puts you in a better position.  You just don't know how good it feels to see your point totals rise without doing anything extra.  

People search the web. They do it all over the world.  Why not get a little piece of the action and get points and rewards for it?  Don't forget to think about creating your own pages online to share information about your wins online.  Creating a quick blog is easy.  It only takes a few minutes.  You could post your progress on the web.  People like seeing the upsides.
