Cash4Free gives a sign up bonus but asks you to complete 2 offers to get it

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/VVexT)
I recently ran into a pretty cool, well designed sign up bonus site entitled Cash4Free. When I went through the sign up process I was asked to complete 2 offers in order to finish my sign up and hopefully get my sign up bonus. Luckily this wasn't the case.

I did not complete two offers because one, I was short on time, and two, I don't think bribing me to complete two offers is a good way to build your membership base there, Cash4Free. After checking my back office, I see the $5.00 sign up bonus accredited to my account even though I didn't complete the 2 offers prior to finishing sign up.

Anyway, beside this quick shortfall, I think Cash4Free has some potential since it pays a $5.00 sign up bonus and you only need to earn another $10.00 in order to get your first payment through them via Paypal. That's only $15.00 total in order to cash out.

Cash4Free has a lot of free offers to choose from which I like. One really cool thing I like about them is that they don't currently have an upgrade option. This is cool to me because it shows that they are keeping it simple. You sign up, complete free offers, make money. They never beg you to upgrade with them because they don't have an upgrade option to bother you about anyway. That's how I see it anyway, what do you think?

Find more free sites that pay you to sign up for doing tasks and let me know what you think.

Easy concert Bb7 Jazz lick

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/sgJwK)
You may have heard this easy Jazz lick before while listening to your favorite Jazz artists. It would be nice to know if you have heard the lick before, if so, please leave a comment on this post. This really is an easy lick to incorporate into your Jazz trumpet solos, no third valve required!



Here a sound sample played over The Theme by Miles Davis:

How to memorize this lick in 12 Keys:

To be honest with you, I've never learned this lick in 12 keys. I usually only use it in a couple keys like C7 and G7, that's it. You can also play this lick in C Major and G Major as well and it sounds about the same. If you feel motivated enough to learn the lick in 12 keys it can only help your trumpet technique in the long run so have at it.

How to know who you should and shouldn't follow on Twitter

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/3xy6K)


Let's face it, you can't just follow anyone on Twitter unless you want to end up following a whole bunch of people that will most likely never follow you back.The list below shows how you can steer clear of this so you're ratio of followers to who you're following stay pretty close.

We all know that Twitter is an awesome tool when it comes to building a network of people online and getting traffic to a particular web URL. I never got the whole update status thing though since I use Facebook for doing that anyway.

With Twitter I use as an avenue to get people looking at the web URL in my Twitter profile. Other than that, it really has no other value to me. Another thing that makes Twitter useful is finding other sites to link to online. Everyone I follow, I also try to comment on one of their blog posts getting me a link back to my site for free every time.

We all know how expensive advertising online can be. This makes it even more important that we take advantage of the free ways to get traffic to our websites, don't you agree?

Now, you have to be careful who you follow on Twitter if you're looking to keep your ratio of followers to people you are following at least somewhat near the same value.

Who you SHOULD NOT follow on Twitter!

• People that don't have a picture in their profile.


• People that haven't tweeted very much, 10 or less tweets.


• People that don't have a web URL in their profile.


• People that have way more followers than they are following.


• People that are following way more people than they have following them back.

Now that we know this, the Twitter users below will be more likely to follow you back.

Who you SHOULD follow on Twitter!

• People who have pictures and a customized background for their profile.


• People that have lots of tweets.


• People that have a web URL, especially if it has a blog of some sort so you can comment at it.


• People with lots of followers with not too much of a gap between who they're following and who's following them.

What is a good way to follow people?

I'm glad you asked. What I do is simple. I look at my current network of people following me and just start going through the list. I try to go through about 20 a day at this point. I won't follow all of them, but the ones I do follow I'll try to comment at their blog or becomes friends with them in Facebook as well if it's available to me. Sometimes I won't follow a particular person, but instead just leave a comment at their blog because this gives me free traffic as well back to my sites.

Jon Faddis shows off his trumpet chops with Dizzy Gillespie, Moody, and Henricks

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/iee10)
I just had to share this video with everyone. Jon Faddis is really something else. How he got his trumpet chops to be so strong, I will forever wonder. Anyway, this awesome Jazz video of Jon Faddis taking a trumpet solo in the presence of Dizzy Gillespie, James Moody, and Jon Henricks.

The thing I like best about this video is being able to watch Jon Faddis adjust his embouchure to go into the upper range. I notice a lot of trumpet players do this. What do you think?

When you sign up for free with MyEasyTask, they will give you a $1.00 sign up bonus that you can use towards your first campaign with them.

It doesn't matter what Country you're from, meaning, anybody can join My Easy Task and make money. What kind of made me giggle was that I noticed that the Signupandmakemoney affiliate program is being promoted on My Easy Task. This is a good way to promote a site as long as the affiliate site you're promoting is OK with it.I don't know if my affiliate program will still be being promoted by the time you read this post or not. But I thought it was interesting.

I've noticed that a lot of members of My Easy Task tend to sign up multiple times on multiple offers. This is just the nature of the Internet, there are always people out there trying to take advantage of the system and screwing other people over.

Take a look at some more get paid to sign up bonus sites that are free to join and earn money from and let me know what you think.

Chitika proof of payment and it's free to join

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/vVwWP)
I recently got my first payment proof from a great ad network called Chitika. I originally heard about Chitika from a blog advertisement. It basically said something about earning off putting targeted ads on your website.

How does it work? Well, someone simply does a search on Google or some other search engine, and Chitika will go ahead and show ads on your site based off the keywords used in the search. This increases the likability of someone actually clicking on your ad because they will already be somewhat interested in what the ads have to say because they are looking for similar information already.

Paypal payment I received from Chitika for $12.44.

There really isn't much to know about Chitika other than they are a great free ad site to promote. Take a look at some more free affiliate sites to promote online to increase income from your website.
