How to get free money for the Google Play Store

Yes, Google will give you money and you don’t even need to sell your soul. Google just wants to hear what you think by getting you to fill out surveys with their Google Opinion Rewards app for Android. Here is how you can get free Google Play credit  !

First install the Google Opinion Rewards which is available for free from the Google Play Store. You’ll have to set up the app first by filling out an initial survey which will then be used to decipher which kinds of surveys you will have to answer down the road, there will be one per week, each one differing in length and content. After answering the complete survey, Google will then credit your balance which you can then redeem on the Google Play store , including apps, books, games, movies, music and more. You can make up to 1 USD for each survey.

You will receive notifications informing you when a new survey is ready for you. Some users have commented about the nature of these surveys, some being political, others about your movie tastes, so it seems to be chosen quite randomly. When checking out the website for this service, it advertises it to businesses that then create their surveys, which they then use to figure out target audiences. The results are accumulated in a matter of days. Businesses must pay per question or per custom survey starting at 2K USD. So basically, you, the survey taker, are an anonymous contributor that helps companies find out more about what people want and think.

This app is only available in the USA for now, but perhaps it will arrive in other countries at a later point in time.

Has anyone ever participated in this before? What did you think?

7 Priceless Items People Sold on eBay

Since it was founded in 1995, more than 3 billion items have been sold througheBay. The online auction site represents capitalism at its weirdest; among the items sold are some of the oddest products man has ever conceived. But once in a blue moon, something truly invaluable will find itself being bid on at the world’s largest garage sale. Here are some of the most jaw-dropping examples.

1. One of Albert Einstein’s Handwritten Letters

Starting Price: $3 million
Sold For: $3,000,100

In 1954, the great physicist penned a candidly-worded letter to Jewish philosopher Erik Gutkind in which he defended his views on ethics, religion, and human nature. Nearly six decades later, it caused a minor media sensation by showing up on eBay.

2. The Original “HOLLYWOOD” Sign

Starting Price: $300,000
Sold For: $450,400

“I hope the winning bidder has exciting plans for it,” said the sign’s previous owner, Dan Bliss. Built in 1923 as a real-estate gimmick, the maiden set of oversized “Hollywood” letters overlooked Los Angeles until it was replaced by a newer group in 1978. The former landmark finally found a new home after being auctioned off in 2005.

3. A Chunk of Mars

Starting Price: $450,000
Sold For: $450,000

What’s a Martian meteorite, you ask? It’s a piece of rock that was formed on the Red Planet, knocked into space by an asteroid or comet impact, that somehow managed to crash-land on Earth. As one can imagine, the odds against this happening are, well, astronomical! In fact, of the over 60,000 meteorite specimens known to science, only 132 hail from Mars. A fragment from one of these was auctioned awayin 2003.

4. A New Species of Sea Urchin

Starting Price: $9.50
Sold For: $138.00

Draped in warm hues of cream and purple, the Coelopleurus exquisitus urchin is a dazzling animal. But incredibly, marine biologists didn’t discover it by exploring the open sea. Instead, they found it on eBay. Simon Coppard of the Natural History museum in London, along with a colleague, determined that a specimen being sold there by one collector did, in fact, hail from a species previously unknown to science.

5. The Tuscan Village of Pratariccia

Starting Price: $5 Million
Sold For: $3.1 Million

Located 22 miles east of Florence, Pratariccia boasts some 25 homes spread over twenty acres of land. The owners of Pratariccia’s real estate had, according to the mayor of a neighboring town, “tried and failed to sell the village through agencies for years but … got a lot of attention by putting it on eBay.” While this new tactic eventually paid off, they ultimately received $1.9 million less than their original asking price.

6. The Town of Bridgeville, CA

Starting Price: $750,000.00 (at first).
Status: Sold—twice!

“You get an entire working town,” proclaimed a 2002 post, “with shops, woodworking, plumbing, gas, and electrical... With the proper development, Bridgeville can become an economic powerhouse with the potential for generating a large cash flow.” The highest bidder would even acquire his/her very own zip code: 95526. An anonymous businessman emerged victorious by laying down an impressive $1.77 million, but backed out of the deal upon actually visiting some of Bridgeville’s desolate shacks. Nevertheless, the town did find a new buyer that year, who proceeded to turn around and re-sell it on eBay in 2006—this time for $1.25 million. Since then, it has changed hands yet again (without eBay’s help).

7. The Meaning of Life

Starting Price: $0.01
Sold For: $3.26

A mystical North Carolinian decided to give Monty Python a run for its money back in2000. “I have discovered the reason for existence,” he wrote, “and will be happy to share this information with the highest bidder.” Since then, neither the buyer nor seller has gone public with the contents of his revelation.
