Locationary

Locationary is a new web site which is still in an invite only Beta testing period. It is a fun time waster as well as a good way to make some extra money. Membership is completely free; however, you must have an invite to join while Locationary is still in Beta. I have provided a link to an invite at the bottom of this post. Locationary hopes to take the place of local databases which charge hundreds of thousands of dollars for local data around the globe. The data entered by Locationary's users will be given free to anyone who wants it. This will make Locationary the prime place to get local data on a global scale. Applications and web sites will spring up quickly from the newly available free data. Why should you join Locationary? When you join, you have the ability to enter local places. The places can be anything from a local restaurant, doctors office, gas station, school, or any other place. When you add a place to the database, you receive 15 shares in that place. You can then add more data (for additional shares) to the place such as a phone number, zip code, parking options, payment options, products offered, etc. Once Locationary comes out of Beta, they will offer advertising packages to the locations added. These packages will allow businesses to post job openings, coupons, specials, and describe new happenings at their business. They can also pay for priority in the Locationary search engine. When a place advertises, 50% of the revenue goes to Locationary, and 50% of the revenue goes to shareholders in that place. So if a place spends $100 a month on advertising, and you own 30 of 60 shares in that place, you would earn $25 per month (50 dollars goes to shareholders and you would own half of the shares). Eventually, Locationary will give you the materials to be proactive in getting the businesses you add to advertise. Or you can just add shares and hope that they advertise in the future. You will also receive one ticket per share that you get. Tickets can be exchanged for gift cards and prizes, or the tickets can be entered into auctions for gift cards or prizes. If you have any questions or suggestions for the site, there is a forums to ask questions and get up to date with what is happening at Locationary. Locationary was created by the same people who created Moola. I have received over $250 in payments from Moola, so I can assure you this is not a scam. Locationary is still in Beta, so there are plenty of places to add. You better hurry, because thousands of places are being added daily. Make sure you can claim the prime real estate and earnings before others do.

World Golf Tour

World Golf Tour is a free and fun online golf game. The World Golf Tour experience allows golf enthusiasts to play the world's most challenging and exclusive courses through HD graphics without downloading or paying for a program. You can sign up for a free account or just play as a guest. I suggest making an account. It is quick and easy. Once you have an account you can start playing courses and working on your scoring average. World Golf Tour hosts several tournaments and challenges that pay out cash and prizes. Some tournaments cost money to enter, but there are always free ones for you to play in. A ranking system allows you to play only golfers around your skill level while in tournaments. If you choose to pay, you can purchase better equipment for your golfer. You can win credits to buy better clubs during free tournaments if you would rather. There is a feature which lets you invite your friends and play against them in groups making a multi-player experience. World Golf Tour provides a good golfing experience and stunning graphics. This is the closest most people will get to playing the world's elite golf courses.

Pogo

Pogo is a web site designed to let you play free games with the chance of winning prizes. The chances of winning prizes on Pogo are slim, but the games are very good. Personally, I only play on Pogo for the games. There are several to choose from and many allow you to compete against other members. Even the games you play on your own allow you to talk to others in the game lobby. Each game has several lobbies to choose from so you can choose the peers you play with. My favorite game is the bowling game, but I play 5-10 different games there. The site is completely free. They allow you to upgrade to Pogo Plus for 40 dollars a year which gives you more games, less ads, and a few other upgrades. There is no real need to upgrade though unless you spend a lot of time on the site. Every game allows you to win points which can be put into prize pools for prize drawings. Several games also have instant win jackpots which you can win. Like I said earlier, the prizes aren't easy to win. The upside to that is most prizes are pretty high (up to $5000). I'm sure you will enjoy the games. You can easily kill a few hours at the office on Pogo.

Protrade


Protrade is one of my favorite web sites to play on when I have some spare time. It is a mock stock market game based on sports figures and teams. The stocks are either athletes or sports teams. Players and teams earn money based on stats, wins, beating top ranked teams, making playoffs, etc. You can buy a team that is going to win more games than they are valued to win, or you can short a team that you think is valued higher than the amount of games they will win. The game is fun, addicting, and free to play. You start with $5000 in protrade currency, and you can make $20000 more easily by completing your profile and making trades in the first few days you trade. Once you get up in money you can trade your money in for prizes. You can e-mail me for an invititation to get started or you can set up your account straight from the web site.
