I have close to zero interest in horse racing so don't bother asking me for tips!

If that doesn't interest you would you prefer 25 free MP3's instead?

When I registered with Predictify a while back, I was a little sceptical, I mean to say, their tag line was "Make Money By Predicting Future Events". Were they for real?

Well, as it turns out, they are for real, and they continue to pay out. Don't kid yourself, you're not going to make a fortune with Predictify, but you will make some additional coin, and more than enough to buy a domain name and start your online empire from scratch. What's more, Predictify is actually quite fun. It's like a social networking site with a twist. Get a few friends on board and you could run your own little sports tipping competition. See who can pick the most winners. Bragging rights and bucks.

Here's a screen shot of the payments I've received in the last couple of weeks.

Note the payouts for correctly predicting the outcome for a couple of NFL games. I made $5.37 for predicting the correct outcome in the Patriots vs. Jets game alone. What do I know about NFL? Sweet bugger all. I can name a handful of teams, with one of them being the Dallas Cowboys, and I only know them because of their cheerleaders, so that shows you don't have to actually be an expert in anything to win, you just need to make a few lucky guesses.

Predictify pay via PayPal at the end of every month.

PLEASE NOTE THAT SINCE I ORIGINALLY POSTED THIS FREEBIES4WEBMASTERS SEEM TO HAVE CHANGED. THEY DO NOT APPEAR TO BE ACCEPTING NEW PUBLISHERS AND I AM STARTING TO READ REPORTS OF PEOPLE NO LONGER RECEIVING PAYMENT.

Since I posted about Freebies for Webmasters a month ago, I've had a few people ask if they actually pay, which is a fair question to ask of any newly discovered program.

I guess I felt that it was my civic duty to give Freebies4Webmasters a shot, and with that said I am more than happy to report that Freebies4Webmasters do pay!

For all the Nervous Nelly's out there, here's an edited screen grab of my PayPal account showing the payments I've received from Freebies4Webmasters to date.

So there you go, evidence that C.S.I Miami would be only too happy to stand behind.

Go join up Freebies4Webmasters now and start making easy cash!

In case you don't know what Freebies4Webmasters is all about, here's a quick recap. Freebies4Webmasters.com will pay you £5 per month (which is almost $11 AUD depending on the exchange rate) via paypal for displaying a banner ad on three individual pages on your site. Here's the description from their website.

You will receive your free £10 payment for joining when your first banner is live on more than three pages of your site. After that you will receive monthly £5 payments by email if the banners are still on your site.

You can choose the pages you want to have the banners displayed on, with the only criteria being that you need to have the banner on at least three separate pages in order to get paid. Whack them up on your 'about' page, your 'contact us' page, where ever. As long as they are up, you'll get paid.

Here's another free offer I found while browsing the Commission Junction site. CinemaNow.com are giving you the opportunity to watch a video for free, in what I'm guessing is a way to get people to trial their product.

Free stuff is good stuff, and the CinemaNow site has all the latest releases so it's worth a look in that regard. Take a look, you might like it, or you might not, either way, you can still watch a video for free.

Watch a Video for Free on CinemaNow.com!

Here's a handy little offer for the music lovers of the world, well mostly for the US based readers, unless someone knows something I don't and are willing to share

Napster seem to have an interesting setup going. This is from the site:

"You may play any particular song up to three (3) times, after which you will need to subscribe to Napster or purchase the song to play it in full again."

Sounds good to me. Unfortunately at the moment, that service doesn't extend world wide, and plebs like me have to settle for the first 30 seconds, iTunes style. All that being said, where ever you're from, Napster would be worth a look if you're after an iTunes alternative.
