Everyone has turned to the internet to make money, play games, socialize, find romance, shop, manage their money, and so many other things. It's like an endless playground...and like millions of people, I have so many favorite sites bookmarked. And like many people I am always looking for ways to make money online, for the next great deal, and for fun new games to play.

So, it is with this in mind that I am devoting this list to my 10 favorite websites that offer great deals, easy ways to make money, and fun game sites.

1. SafeLink Wireless: This site is awesome because you can apply for a FREE cell phone! That's right, I said FREE!! I know what all you skeptics out there are thinking: "yeah right! what's the catch?" Well, there is no catch. You simply visit the website, fill out the form and if you are deemed to be income eligible, you will receive a FREE prepaid cell phone courtesy of Tracfone. Based on your geographic location you will receive up to 75 FREE minutes on the 3rd of each month for a maximum of 12 months. If the FREE minutes don't last the whole month, simply buy a prepaid Tracfone card and add more minutes. I can personally attest to the legitimacy of this site as I applied and received a phone two months ago. It has been a great starter phone for my oldest daughter.

2. Shop 4 Freebies: Another great website for FREE stuff. They post FREE stuff every 24 hours so there is always something new. They also offer a place to search for the cheapest gas prices by entering your address & zip code.

3. Big Fish Games: This is a great gaming site. They offer you a FREE 60 minute trial of almost every game that they have available. If you like the game you can purchase it, if you don't like it, then you just got to play free for an hour. They also have a Game Club that you can join where you can get Full Versions of any game for only $6.99! This is the only site that I will download or buy games from as I fully trust them. They have a HUGE selection of games, great customer service, and an affiliate program where you can earn FREE games by referring fellow gamers.

4. Get Paid From Us: This is a revenue sharing site that pays you to blog about whatever you want. I have been a member for a few weeks now and have made a little over $1---not much but it definitely has potential.

5. Moola: This is another good gaming site. This site is unique in that they start you off with one FREE penny that you can bet in a game against another player--if you win, your penny gets doubled. If you lose, then you are back to having nothing. But don't worry because they will give you another penny for FREE. You can get as many pennies as you need until you build your "bank" which you can transfer to a savings until you are ready to cash out. This site is by invitation only. Contact me to get your invitation.

6. Swagbucks: This is another cool website that you can use to earn Swagbucks--which are "digital dollars" that can be used in the SwagShop to "buy" gifts such as gift cards, t-shirts, and other cool items.

7. Key For Cash: This is a very simple website to sign up with if you are looking to make a little extra cash. All you have to do is fill out the application and take the ridiculously easy typing test. This is a legitimate data entry job that I have been doing for the last year or so. I make a little over $100 a month with this site. When I signed up there was a waiting list so sign up and be patient---I think it only took a week for them to email me with an opening.

8. Families: This is another easy website to use to make a little extra cash by blogging. This site is devoted soley to issues regarding families, parenting, children, marriages, etc. They do require you to apply with a resume and writing samples. Their payment is decent at $4 per article with raises and bonuses available.

9. Text Broker: This is a paid to write site that is very easy to use. They require you to take a simple writing test that they then grade based on stars--the more stars you earn on this test, the more you are paid per article. There is never a lack of work and there is a wide variety of topics to write about so there is something for everyone.

10. Vindale Research: I am usually not a big fan of paid survey sites but this one is good. They offer a new opportunity at least once a day and they pay fairly well. The only drawback is that most of the surveys require you to pay money up-front to evaluate a product or service then give your feedback. The upside is that the money they pay you for doing this covers your upfront costs plus some more. Don't get me wrong, they do offer opportunities that don't require a credit card or any upfront fees.

 I hope you enjoy these websites and that you have as much fun with them as I do  : )
