My favorite ways to easily earn cash during COVID-19 quarantine!

   Hi everyone! Hope you're keeping healthy and hanging in there! Most of us are finding it hard during this time of COVID-19 quarantine and I wanted to reach out to you with some easy income ideas!

I personally have been unable to work for a week because my workplace closed for a couple of weeks and my job is impossible to do from home! I wanted to share with YOU the ways I am still keeping the dollars coming in!
  Every day, I simply click on emails and answer fun surveys to earn points which can be redeemed for gift cards or Visa cards!

  These  quick and easy points are so exciting and  handy for redeeming in the form of Amazon, Restaurant.com, hardware stores, clothing store gift cards to name a few ! I have definitely earned enough this year to cover many of my personal expenses, so I'm pleased!
  Without further ado, let me share links to all these great sites with you so you can start earning points and cash to spend!

    SWAGBUCKS!: As you may already know, this program is super fun to use! You earn points merely by searching through their toolbar. This is my favorite site for earning money because I love seeing the ''swagbucks'' when I randomly win them just by searching! Use their toolbar for every website you visit, including your regulars such as your email or the weather! You'll never know how much you can earn until you try it! My only regret is that I wasn't consistent with earning through Swagbucks during the first few years I was a member!
Every ''SB'' is worth a cent and over the years (really, in the last couple years because I sadly forgot to use the site for a long period since I joined) I've earned $593 most of which I've redeemed in the form of Amazon gift cards!
 Just think- all your online purchases could be giving you about 8% cashback through Swagbucks points!!! Don't wait to sign up for this site. (all these links are my referral link which will give me points back if you sign up so thank you in advance!!! :) )

With Swagbucks you can also play their daily fun mobile trivia game, take part in bingo-style games to earn points, join team point-earning challenges, etc.

And keep in touch- if you win the 1,000 hourly Swagbucks I'd love to hear about it!


INBOX DOLLARS:
Another good site, this allows you to turn actual cash just by clicking ''confirm paid email'' on sponsored emails which arrive in your inbox daily. This takes less than 2 seconds, and is very rewarding to me.
Once you reach $30.00, you can request a payment, which is mailed as a check to you! Very easy site to understand. I also gain quite a bit of cash from doing these surveys and you can also watch movies and play games for cash. And like with Swagbucks, you can shop through this program for discounts and cash back!
You really need to sign up for at least one of these programs!



MY POINTS: your daily rewards program

   For shoppers, this is just as good as Swagbucks! They give over 8% cash back on purchases, and they have absolute ton of online stores to shop through...including unusual health food sites like Vitacost.com!
They also let you earn points through surveys and searches and a bunch more things! Also, just like with inbox dollars, you can gain points just by clicking on emails! You need a program like this! Why would you shop online without a program like this? Why would you spend money online (as we have done for years-how I wish we knew about this before!) without a rewards program?
I've earned over $100 through them!

DAILY GOODIE BOX
This site offers boxes of samples from different companies to random members simply if you comment on their Facebook posts! It's easy to be a member of this site and comment on their posts and the boxes are SO much fun to receive and enjoy! I've ''won'' 3 of these so far. Also, if you're a member of this site, they will send you messages containing other deals via your account. If they send you an invitation to become a member of ''Erewards"- JOIN! This is an invite-only survey site which gives amazing point results! Through Erewards I have earned enough points for as many movies I want to see at the theater for at least 2 years! They also offer hundreds of other gift card choices.

Breaking Cover by Michelle Rigby Assad- a fascinating autobiography!

Breaking Cover (My Secret Life in the CIA and What it taught me about what's worth Fighting For (Hardcover) 
by Michelle Rigby Assad

  Not all books are as interesting as the title suggests but I assure you this one is. The autobiography of Michelle Rigby Assad, this book reveals for the first time many of the author's adventures and experiences in various places, many of them dangerous. It also includes her life story and how she was able to enter the CIA. Furthermore, the book concludes with explaining the interesting and important work Michelle and her husband currently do. I really do not want to give away any of the fascinating details of this real-life adventure but will leave it up to you to read it!

Real-Life Romance: Inspiring Stories to Help You Believe in True Love by Rhonda Stoppe

Real-Life Romance: Inspiring Stories to Help You Believe in True Love

by Rhonda Stoppe

  I was intrigued from the first moment I heard of this newly-published book by Rhonda Stoppe. An entire book of not only true, real-life but also faith-filled romance stories? Definitely yes! Like I just said, the quality of this book doesn't just lie in the stories but in the reoccurring theme of God's grace and purpose weaving each story together. The author of this book has skillfully told each couple's love story with the point of pointing it  back to God. As I read each account, I was encouraged in many ways. Every story is different, and not all are tidy and perfect. As a matter of fact, just as in real life, many of the stories were messy and unexpected. But it is fascinating to read how God made things work together for His glory. There is something in this book for everyone in every season of life, whether married or single. The writing style is not phenomenal however I was grateful for the content and am glad I read this book!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion.

Do You Believe in True Love?

In a world of broken relationships and hurting people, it can seem like all we ever see is heartache—that marriages are doomed from the start and romance isn't worth the risk. 

But heart-fluttering, long-lasting love is all around us...we just have to look for it! 

This collection of beautiful, real-life accounts will bring laughter and tears as you enjoy each story of ordinary people who found extraordinary love. Page after page, you will find inspiration to:

rekindle the romance in your love storytrust in God's providence and timingfaithfully hope for your own happily-ever-aftercelebrate true romancebelieve in life-long love

Don't let the world define romance for you! See how God is at work in the hearts of His people—knitting together hearts in a love that forever endures.

Andi Lassos Trouble (Circle C Stepping Stones #3) and Andi To the Rescue (#4) by Susan K. Marlow

Andi Lassos Trouble (Circle C Stepping Stones #3)

by Susan K. Marlow 

   As with all books by this author, I loved every chapter of this book. Every review I write highlighting Mrs. Marlow's historical fiction is glowing. As I have with all her other books, I highly recommend this one. It is written for younger readers who will absolutely love it. It has the perfect blend of excitement and Godly character lessons to help children learn as they read. Not only that, readers will learn about the historical setting and time period, making these books five star! Parents and teachers alike should give these books to their children to read. 
In Andi Lassoes Trouble, she learns more important lessons as she desires to enter a rodeo with her horse. The book is full of excitement from the first chapter when Andi finds out about an upcoming rodeo and wonders if she'll be allowed to enter! 
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion.

When the Circle C ranch decides to host a rodeo competition with two other ranches, dozens of cowboys are eager to prove they're the best riders and ropers in the valley. But they're not the only ones who want to show off their skills--Andi aims to lasso her way to the prizes, even if big brother Chad says the contest isn't for kids.

The roundup is meant to be a time for food, fun, and friendship. But before Andi can prove she's got what it takes to be a real cowgirl, the day turns dangerous. Will a friendly rodeo turn into a range war between ranchers and sheepherders? Can Andi and her family keep their neighbors--and themselves--safe?

Andi to the Rescue (Circle C Stepping Stones #4)

by Susan K. Marlow

   As with all books by this author, I loved every chapter of this book. Every review I write highlighting Mrs. Marlow's historical fiction is glowing. As I have with all her other books, I highly recommend this one. It is written for younger readers who will absolutely love it. It has the perfect blend of excitement and Godly character lessons to help children learn as they read. Not only that, readers will learn about the historical setting and time period, making these books five star! Parents and teachers alike should give these books to their children to read.
Andi to the Rescue is so exciting with the perfect level of danger for young readers. Readers both young and old will find this book interesting. Even I as an adult enjoyed reading this book. The way this author writes is so talented that although written for younger readers, adults can enjoy the books almost as much. Yet again, Susan K Marlow weaves character lessons into this exciting work of historical fiction to benefit young minds even more.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is so embarrassing. Andi's teacher, Miss Hall, is sick--and Mother is the substitute teacher. What will Andi's friends think?

But it turns out embarrassment is the last thing Andi needs to worry about when two outlaws kidnap Andi and her mother after school in a case of mistaken identity! They can't even tell the kidnappers a mistake has been made without putting themselves in even more danger.

Now they're being held in a remote cabin until Mother can teach the man in charge how to read--and he's willing to go to any length to make it happen. Andi must escape and find help. But can she lead a rescue party back to Mother before the outlaws take their new teacher--and disappear forever?

Stranger No More by Annahita Parsan, Craig Borlase

Stranger No More: A Muslim Refugee’s Story of Harrowing Escape, Miraculous Rescue, and the Quiet Call of Jesus

by Annahita Parsan, Craig Borlase 

Although I love to read, it is rare that I read a book in one sitting! This is such a book- I began it Sunday afternoon and read it straight through without a pause! This autobiography is gripping, heart-rending, eye-opening and uplifting. Despite the difficult first portion of the book, the account culminates in hope and peace and joy. I am astounded by the faithfulness of Jesus in this woman's life. It is a miracle that she lived through what she did, but obviously the Lord had a plan for her life! 

I don't agree with everything doctrinally in this book. However, I thought Annahita had a Biblical approach to salvation and healing through prayer. I highly recommend this powerful book!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion.

Annahita Parsan was born into a Muslim family in Iran and grew up with the simple hope of one day finding a good husband, having children, and doing some good in the world. Married and a mother before she turned eighteen, Annahita found herself unexpectedly widowed and trapped for years in an abusive second marriage that she later fled—discovering instead a God who might love her.

Stranger No More is the remarkable true story of Annahita’s path from oppression to the life-changing hope of Jesus. Fleeing Iran across the mountains into Turkey, she spent months in the terrifying Agri prison before a miraculous release and flight to Europe, where she and her two children knelt in a church and prayed, “God, from this day on we are Christians.”

Filled with unthinkable circumstances, miraculous rescues, and the quietly constant voice of Jesus, Stranger No More leads readers deep into the heart of God and draws them toward the same call that Annahita heeds today: using her past to save others from theirs. As the leader of two congregations in Sweden, Annahita has baptized hundreds of former Muslims since her own conversion, has seen firsthand the powerful ways God is at work among those who have left Islam behind, and is reminded every day that saying yes to God is always worth the risk.

review of The Melody of the Soul by Liz Tolsma

When I saw that talented author Liz Tolsma had written another book, I was thrilled. As with the author's other literary works, this book is set in world-war two Europe. Again, like with the other novels by Liz, I was engrossed from the first chapter. I loved the musical aspect to this book. I liked how Anna continued with her musical talent despite the threats from the Nazi leadership. Whether or not you have previously read the author's other books, you will fall in love with this new book. 

I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion. 

Anna has one chance for survival-and it lies in the hands of her mortal enemy.

It's 1943 and Anna Zadok, a Jewish Christian living in Prague, has lost nearly everything. Most of her family has been deported, and the Nazi occupation ended her career as a concert violinist. Now Anna is left to care for her grandmother, and she'll do anything to keep her safe-a job that gets much harder when Nazi officer Horst Engel is quartered in the flat below them.

Though musical instruments have been declared illegal, Anna defiantly continues to play the violin. But Horst, dissatisfied with German ideology, enjoys her soothing music. When Anna and her grandmother face deportation, Horst risks everything to protect them.

Anna finds herself falling in love with the handsome officer and his brave heart. But what he reveals might stop the music forever.

Best-selling novelist Liz Tolsma is the author of several World War II novels and prairie romance novellas. She also works as a freelance editor. She lives in a semirural area of Wisconsin with her husband and two daughters. Her son serves with the US Marines. All of their chidlren came to them through international adoption. Her other passions include walking, gardening, camping, and reading.
