E-juror update

On my last post I mentioned about signing up as an e-juror. Well, I havent heard anything from two companies I signed up with. Perhaps they were spam? Or they dont have many cases? What I know for sure is I need to find other things to make money online!

Make Extra Money Become an e-Juror

We all try finding ways to make little extra money. In fact, the primary purpose of this blog is to show the world I can make side money and pay off my student loan with it. I'm always online looking for a new gig to make more money. Yesterday I came across with the concept of being "e-juror" Why not? Lets look into more detail. According to ejury.com e-juror services provide an attorney the opportunity to "pre-try" the case before it goes to trial in front of an actual jury at the courthouse. Imagine what a tremendous help this would be for the attorney. He/She can use the feedback to establish a settlement value, learn public attitudes etc. E-Jurors can be paid up to $50 a case, depending on the length of the case. My understanding is ejuror.com pays only $5-$10 per case again depends on the lenght of the case. The most popular websites;
Here is a link for a sample case to see if that is something you can do. I think it is more stimulating than survey websites or cash inbox.
Honestly, I havent signed up with any of them yet. Therefore I can not give any further review. I'm planning to sign up with at least one of them to see if it is worth at all. Let me know if you have any experience with them.
Update: I just signed up with ejurer.com and onlineverdict.com. I chose not to sign up with trialpractice.com because their website looks sloppy. If a company website looks unprofessional, sorry no business from me.

Finally Set up my ING Direct subaccounts

I currently have four saving accounts and they are all with ING Direct. I have EF fund, Hawaii vacation fund, House down payment fund and Christmas Fund. Creating subaccounts with ING was very simple. There are so many pf bloggers out there have already explained how to open subaccounts step by step so I am not going to repeat them.


• Get Rich Slowly mapped out very well. In fact I followed her 3 steps “How to open multiple accounts at ING direct”

• I’ve paid this twice explained it with her style “Creating Subaccounts in ING Direct Savings Accounts”

• Have you ever used ehow.com? I found their steps easiest to follow. “How to open sub-accounts at ING Direct”

I will probably never keep a lot of cash in my savings since the return is not good at all. My goals for my subaccounts are:

EF: $1,000 just to keep it simple anything over $1,000 will go into investing accounts

Hawaii Vacation: $3,000 Once I go to Hawaii, the name will change but regardless I will always have a vacation fund.

House Down payment: $60,000 I will probably move this money around everytime it reaches $5,000. I’d like to have $60,000 saved in 5 years

Christmas Fund: $500 need any explanation?

Hello PF World!

Last few months I've been reading personal finance blogs and I finally decided to join into the PF world. Eventhough I dont call myself frugal, I am not a wasteful person either. I'd like to experience life while I'm young and old. Majority of my debt is coming from my student loan which is $22,161. My goal is to be debt free at the end of this year. There is a twist though I'm going to do this not necessarily by making my own detergent ot clipping coupons but rather by making money online. Follow my journey!
