If you've got youself a new mobile recently and have put your old phone in a drawer or under you bed to gather dust then pull it out now as you could convert that old phone into real money quickly and easily.
There are several companies such as envirophone, zonzoo and mazumamobile who are willing to pay you hard cash for your old phone. All you need to do is visit their websites enter the make and model of your phone and they will let you know how much they are willing to pay you for your old mobile.
The price is normally subject to your phone being in working order with only a few minor scratches. If your phone doesn't work then the same companies may still be willing to buy your phone but they will obviously offer you a lower price. Similarly if you send the phone off and don't tell them that the mobile phone doesn't work they will normally contact you to offer you either a lower price or to offer to return the phone to you.
Don't forget that you may get a better price on ebay for your old mobile phone especially if it is a relatively newer phone so have a quick search on ebay for any recent sales of mobiles similar to yours to see if you are better using ebay. If not then go with the mobile phone companies who tend to send you a jiffy envelope for you to send your mobile to them and they will either send you a cheque or pay the money directly into your bank account which is much better than gathering dust under your bed.

Using keywords to attract visitors to your Website
If you are thinking of blogging or building a website to earn some money then you need to know what the popular words and phrases that people enter into Google and other search engines each day. These phrases are called keywords and are extremely important when attracting people and traffic to your site or blog.
There are a number of online tools that can be used to view keywords online and these include Google Keyword Tool which is extremely informative as it lets you know how competitive a keyword is, the search volumes and it also suggests other alternative keywords for you to consider.
When using keywords be careful not to over use the same text as this makes the page difficult to read and it is widely believed that for a page to be relevant for a keyword the density for that word should be less than 5% otherwise some search engines such as Google might believe you have stuffed the pages with the phrases to try and obtain visitors and may well penalize you for this.
If you are interested in finding out how hard it is to rank well for a keyword then there is an online keyword difficulty checker which basically tells you how much competition there is online for your keyword. So if say you are thinking of building a website on genealogy the word 'genealogy' is a generic term and will have lots of competition but a more unusal phrase such as 'Scottish family history' will have less competition while a longer more unusual phrase such as 'Scottish family history of Bernard McTavish and his parents' will have hardly any competition. The aim though is to find a keyword that is used frequently but has little competition.
If you already have a blog or a website and are curious to know where you rank for a keyword then obviously you can search Google, Bing and Yahoo to see if you are near the top. To save you some time you can use a free tool to check your keyword position in Google.
If you are setting up a new blog or website if you can use a keyword in your domain name it will give your site a helping hand to attracting visitors who are hopefully going to earn you some money.

Useful wage comparison tools
If you have ever wondered how your earnings compare against other peoples in the UK then there is a useful tool on the Institute for Fiscal Studies website.
You enter some data about the number of adults and children in your household, your household income and your council tax and it produces a graph which shows where you fit in. The graph is certainly a lot easier to understand than some of the documents produced by the Office of National Statistics.
Paywizard is another useful site which allows you to compare the wages you receive for doing your job against what other people earn for doing the same job as you in the same area as you. The data is useful in working out if you are being underpaid by your employer or if you are earning a higher wage than others in the same job as you.
Paywizard also have details of how much some celebrities and footballers earn which is quite interesting whilst at the same time depressing as some make more in a day than a large chunk of the UK workforce make in a year.

Slice the Pie
If you enjoy listening to music whilst writing then you can earn money by combining the two with Slice the Pie.
Slice the Pie allows music fans to become record labels and to make money scouting for new talent. All you need to do is visit Slicethepie and click on Scout Rooms and you will then hear a music soundtrack. You simply need to write a review of the track and give it a rating out of 10.
Your review can be fairly short and two or three lines should usually be about right and this allows you to review a large number of songs in a fairly short space of time.
The amount you earn depends on how good a scout you are. Everyone initially starts as a 1 star scout and only earn £0.03 per track but this rises to £0.12 per track once you are rated a 5 star scout. Your scout rating depends on how many reviews you do and how good your reviews have been.
You can withdraw your money through Paypal once you have earned £5.
