Get paid to Search!

I came across a cool search engine recently... Scour

(for people who don't know what a search engine is... just one word: Google! If you don't know what Google is, don't worry, just read on :))

They actually pay you to search (in points) which you can then redeem for money! (as far as i could understand it)

Now before you get all excited and start typing out your resignation letter for your job... it's not really BIG bucks... but you could end up with about $200-$500 extra every year, for what you anyways do... Search the web! and that's not bad :)

The system is very simple, for every search, you get 1 point, you will also get 1 point for rating the results (thumbs up or down) and 2 points for adding a short comment to a search... each search you can get maximum 4 points and a daily maximum of 500 points... you can redeem as soon as you have 6500 points...

+ you can refer others... if they join through your referral, then you get 25% of whatever they earn... sounded very cool indeed to me :)

25,000 points = $100
12,500 points = $50
6,500 points = $25



In 2 days i have already racked up 700 points! :)

On your Profile page, they have a nice calculator about how much money you could potentially expect to make if you search x times daily and introduce y friends...

One problem is that the search is not as fast as google, but then it searches many engines before displaying what it considers the most relevant result based on previous comments and votes of other users... and so you are more assured of getting relevant results... even so the search time should improve a lot in a while...

Oh, and did i mention that its a completely free service?! :)

So to start getting paid to search... just click here and join up!

and yes, if you join through the above link, you will earn me some money as well whenever you use scour to search! :)

Now if only some company out there comes up with a way to pay every time we search for something we lost... then a lot of people could really go ahead and type out that resignation letter...

PS If you got some extra invites from my side from scour, it's my fault... i pressed the invite button mistakenly while everyone in my contact book was selected (i never do this...), and the power went, so the net was down, when power was back i did it again *blush* coz i thought it would take me to some confirm page... it just said thank you very much for sending the invites out :) so do be careful when you do this :)

PPS If you are using IE (Yuck) or Firefox (wow!) then Scour can be made your default search engine... find goodies (its on the top right corner of the page) and click it, then click on the Firefox Plugin or the IE Plugin and you are done!

PPSS Do you guys like these type of posts? Would you like more of these posts that could potentially help all of us generate alternative income streams? Please comment... as usual this post is here, coz i thought the concept of Scour really Sounds Interesting... :)
