Domain registration prices vary between registrars and the TLDs you choose (.com, .me, etc) but generally you can register a domain for about/around $10 for at least the first year. Forget that though – Get the domain registered for free!

Here’s how you do it:

1: Sign up for any GPT or Survey site that pays out in PayPal. Your best options in my opinion:
- CashPirate
- SimpleGPT
- Points4Rewards

2: Sign up for PayPal if you don’t already have it. It’s free!

3: Earn around $10 on the site of your choice and cash out/claim the cash (get paid to your PayPal account).

4: Go to NameCheap and purchase the new domain using your PayPal account.

If you followed the four steps above you will have successfully registered a new domain and it didn’t cost you anything.

Here’s payment poor for SimpleGPT and Points4Rewards for July 2010.

I kept cashing out and forgetting to post anything, so I withdrew $1 just to screenshot it. ._.

On that note, both sites have a $1 cashout minimum with instant PayPal. Pretty awesome.


 

I haven’t been posting much in a while (see the updates on my SimpleGPT, SwagBucks, Points4Rewards, ICS, and CashPirate are all excellent websites to earn cash and prizes with to start your year off right.

 

If you’ve read the recent updates on my main blog (Geek Dad), then you already know that we’re in the middle of packing all of our things up to move. One of the “fun” things about moving is that there isn’t much time (or space) to cook at home like you normally would. Not just that, but other fun little expenses tend to pop up (like packing tape)! When you’re in the middle of taping the bottom of the box and you realize your last roll of tape ran out, SURPRISE! Or everybody’s hungry and you’ve made a mess of the kitchen trying to get things packed up, SURPRISE!

So what do you do? You realize that you have one of the greatest tools you could have right at your fingertips: INSTANT PAYPAL.

If you’re a PayPal member, jump up to the premier account and grab the PayPal debit card. While you’re waiting for that card (or if you already have it) join one of these great sites that pay out in instant PayPal:

* SimpleGPT: $5 Minimum Withdrawal
* PrizeLive: $1 Minimum Withdrawal
* Points4Rewards: $5 Minimum Withdrawal
* CashPirate: $5 Minimum Withdrawal

Yes, instant PayPal = INSTANT. By the time you’ve logged in to look at your balance, BAM! It’s there. So what are you waiting for? Sign up for one of the great sites above and start earning some instant cash! You never know when you’ll need it.

 

Though this may be a great excuse to just toss a bunch of referral banners out there, I really am interested in knowing which banners are more interesting to you. Which one(s) catch your eye? Which one(s) are you more likely to click? Any other input?

When you pile all of these referral banners together, they all kind of jumble up and blend together. Does one stick out to you more than the others? Why?

Let’s also take that a step further. Visit some of the sites and tell me what you think. Are you a member of any of these? After visiting them, would you want to be?

Be sure to leave a comment with your input on ANYTHING about these sites and/or their banners! Your opinion really does matter.

Search & Win

I like for a referral banner to be clean with clear text, and being animated is ok sometimes (though I’m not a big fan of animated banners) so long as it is done well and looks good. A site’s banner is their representation out there on the web. Would you hand out business cards if they didn’t look good and give a good representation of who you are? No, or at least you shouldn’t. Banners are the same way!
