Love those deals

August 16, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Saving money is something that everyone loves to do; you can’t deny it. People are always searching for new ways to save money here and there and looking to experience new things within their local area so we thought we would put together a review of a highly rated deal comparison website known as LoveOnlineDeals.com that is exclusively available to the UK.

About the website.

LoveOnlineDeals.com describes itself as a completely unique and free to use web based service designed specifically to enable deal hungry users (such as our self) to keep an easy track on all the great group buying daily deals on offer to them within their city or location of choice. We noticed that most deals featured on the site have on average savings between 50-90% on a whole range of activities within the health, food, leisure and fashion industries.

Navigating throughout the site as well is beyond user friendly, with a nice simple layout, straight to the point and it contains no extra added promotional hype forcing you to buy or try the deals.One more use full point that should be noted is that the website features a daily email feature, where you can sign up to your location and be sent the deals available to you on a daily basis which can be enjoyed reviewing over your morning coffee.

What we thought.

Group buying is very popular and can get users some really great deals. Compared to many of their competitors we quite like this site as it tries to stay on track without loads of extra advertising. They are obviously keen to get you to sign up but as its free to do so we don’t see any harm in getting an email a day from them. If you are looking for some good regional deals why not have a look at the website and see what you think.

Knowing what your children are up to online

October 10, 2010 By Leave a Comment

There are a number of products on the market today that offer parents the ability to control young peoples web surfing by blocking undesirable sites, limiting time online and also ensuring that they do not connect with strangers through social networks.

We thought we’d do a quick review of one of the many products on the market at the moment after talking to a friend who had just set up her 13 year old daughter on Facebook and within 15 minutes she had over 130 friend requests, many from random strangers who she did not know.

Cyber Patrol is a neat little software application that lets parents monitor web surfing at home. It contains many of the features and functions you would expect from this type of application including content filtering, limiting programme access and limiting time that can be spent online.

The CyberPatrol Parental Controls application we looked at costs $39.95 and this can be installed on up to three PC’s and laptops at home, it is available to download from their website or from Amazon and they do offer a free trial so you can check out if the product is right for you and your family.

Visit www.cyberpatrol.com for more information.

Join The Baking Social Network

September 13, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Review of BakeclubLike many big brands Lurpak is looking at ways to encourage their customers to use more of their products so it’s no surprise that last year they launched a website aimed at encouragng more baking (Baking = butter = sales) – Bakeclub. We thought we’d put together a quick review of the website as we took a look at the pictures on the site and we had to run off to the local bakery for a couple of treats !!!!

About The Website
Bakeclub isn’y just a recipie site but actually aims to put a bit of fun into baking by encouarging groups of people to set up their own Bakingclub. The site allows you to register a Bake Club and then invite friends to join. You can also set the day of your event and then decide who is to be the master baker.

What We Think
Yes it is a marketing site but we quite liked it. The site has got about 7000 members so far so it must be doing something right and we did enjoy flicking through the photos. If your looking for something different to do one evening setting up your own Bake Club may just be the thing. Take a look at the website for more information on Bakeclub

Make money from your photographs

August 26, 2010 By Leave a Comment

ShutterstockNearly everyone we know is looking to make some extra money these days and for those with a creative flair we thought we’d put together a review of the Shutterstock website which is one of the leading websites for designers to source quality and imaginative photographic images. As part of the site they allow photographers to upload their own images which they will resell on your behalf paying you a commission for each one used.

About The Site
Shutterstock has been around for a number of years and has millions of users around the World. Each one of these users pays a subscription for the service and the site manages the whole relationship and ensures that your images appear in the search and also that your pictures are not used without permission (All the images are watermarked). The amounts payable vary from a few pence up to about £15 but if you are a photographer with a large portfolio of original images you could potentially earn a significant revenue from the site.

What We Think
Although selling your images directly may generate significantly more money the fact that Shutterstock is used by designers and news agencies around the World means that more people see the images and potentially the earnings could be significantly higher particularly if the photographer is slightly more imaginative or captures the right image.

We’d recommend any photographer with a good portfolio of images to sign up the Shutterstock and if you want to find more visit their website and look at the affiliate programme.

Tell someone about a deal and get paid

September 8, 2008 By 1 Comment

www.tipatipa.co.uk

We recently sent out a request for PR agencies to tell us about new sites and this one came through and to be honest it’s quite a nice idea. The process is fairly simple – You go to the site and list on it what you are looking for (e.g. An XBOX) – you then say what you want to pay and how much you will tip the person who gives you the lead. Fairly simple really.

What we like about the site is that you set the price your willing to pay and then wait for the offers to come flooding in. If you go for the deal then you pay the tip – hence www.tipatipa.co.uk.

On the downside we don’t think the home page tells you enough. At first look we thought it was another ebay copy but it is definitely not. I am sure that in the near future more content will be added so this might be something worth considering.

We can just see this site been used by some very competitive ebayers clearing stock – a good way to stop users having to trawl through lists and lists of rubbish and get to the real deals.

All in all a good site – three stars at the moment as it’s only just got going but when more people use it we’re sure it will catch on especially as if you spend time on the internet you know where to find deals and could make quite a profit. Another credit crunch busting idea.
