MoreNP on Squidoo

MoreNP has a new Squidoo lens up at http://www.squidoo.com/Points2Shop-Cashle with a 1-2-3 guide for finding something you like, learning about Points2Shop, and joining.

If you would like to support MoreNP, please visit the Squidoo page (preferably with your ad blocker turned off)! It doesn't try to cover every aspect of Points2Shop, just the basics - that's what the MoreNP article links are for. This new Squidoo guide to earning points online allows you to interact in some new and interesting ways:
You can also get there with the ever-convenient tiny link: squidoo.morenp.com

There's also another in-progress lens which will just serve to syndicate content from MoreNP. Not exactly sure where that's going at this time.

Public commenting and Switch links to Cashle

Public commenting
Since no one has posted any comments on MoreNP.com, you no longer need a Google/OpenID account to post a comment. Please, if you do have one, log in so you're not anonymous - I would really like to see more commenting.

Switch offer links to Cashle
Also, there is a new feature that allows you to switch all links on the site from Points2Shop to Cashle. If you prefer to earn money on Cashle, now it's easier than ever! To change your settings, just click "Switch links to Cashle.com" and all of the offer links and page links will switch to Cashle, as indicated by the tiny logo icons beside each link and the cash/points display. This setting will remain saved as long as you don't delete your cookies from MoreNP.com.

If you want to be sure someone sees points links or cash links, just add #cash or #points to the end of the web address (so you can send high-paying.morenp.com/#cash in the shoutbox to show them the high paying offers list in cash, the / is optional but the # is not)

Index of tiny links to MoreNP articles

Tiny links were previously handled through Google, but unfortunately Google disabled the service that allowed me to offer those tiny links. Well, that's no good because we need to post short links in the shoutbox all the time, so I just finished a new system which allows me (or you) to create up to two unique links for each story.

The links are displayed in the green box below each story. If there aren't two links yet on a particular story, you will see a text box that allows you to add your own. You have to use words that appear in the story, so please don't mess around with the links (this is meant to be a useful tool to save typing in the shoutbox). If your link isn't added after you click the Create Link button, it is already in use elswhere on morenp.com.

This is the current index of links, if you can't find what you want, please visit the story and add a meaningful link:

A few changes at MoreNP.com

I am pleased to announce that "PyroJoe" will be joining me next week at MoreNP.com as a co-author specializing in UK offers. Soon the favorite features of my US readers can become the favourite features of UK readers as well!

I'm still looking for a good writer in Canada who would be willing to spend some time writing articles. No pressure, write as much as you want whenever you want, articles are simply published with a future date so you don't need to write every day.


In other news, the "Amazon Sales and Discounts" blog has been removed. This was just an experiment to see if anyone would be interested in discounted Amazon items from sellers on Points2Shop, but due to lack of interest the blog has been removed. If you would like to sell something, however, you are allowed to advertise it occasionally in the shoutbox on Points2Shop.


Finally, articles will be scarce this week, perhaps only one per day as I reword and clarify many of the past articles for better performance in Google searches.

Browsing MoreNP.com - new table of contents

Each section of the More Nickels n Points blog now includes a table of contents section in the dark blue area at the bottom of the page. I realized that it was difficult to find articles and that there was no way at all to simply browse.

Unfortunately I can't create a global table of contents because Blogger is a bit restrictive in the sense of tying together the 5 separate blogs that make up morenp.com.

Points2Shop - new forums and design improvements

A new forum system will be launched on Points2Shop and Cashle this week for discussing offers, site policies, and other miscellaneous topics. Unlike the ExtraMoneyNetwork forums, these deal discussion boards will be integrated into Points2Shop and Cashle, so they can be used with your existing account.

Additionally, offers will have their own posts in the forums and comments written on the offer pages will also be available in the forums. This has the benefit of allowing us to see comments on offers which have been discontinued. The forums will be quite basic but I'm sure the functionality will be expanded soon in the dynamic style of Points2Shop!

Also, updates are underway on the layout of Points2Shop. A new homepage was launched yesterday and tomorrow there will be a new registration page. Points2Shop is getting more vibrant, clearer, and hopefully more attractive to the attention it deserves! Later in the week, look for updates to the main member page. They're even cooking up some new features to keep new users' interest by encouraging goal setting to keep the "eyes on the prize."

More news coming soon!

I'm on a tight college budget so I've been extremely grateful for Points2Shop. I earned some things I really needed (textbooks and a wedding band) and even some extras that I wouldn't have bought if I had to pay full price (full body gadget protectors).

I purchased and received the following items with Points2Shop.com in my first 10 weeks, check the rest of my blog for more details and Points2Shop advice!

$85 - Tungsten Carbide wedding band
$110 - Database and Artificial Intelligence textbooks
$25 - InvisibleSHIELD protectors for Creative Zen MP3 player and MotoRIZR z6tv cell phone
$10 - Cheap screen protectors for my digital camera

Correction - Converting points to cash

Thanks to Littlerose of Points2Shop for correcting my explanation of why points cannot be converted to cash.

The original post, which is now updated, can be found here: Why can't I convert points to cash?
