So Christmas has been and gone. Are you now facing the New Year and wondering how you can keep up the Christmas spirit and goodwill for the coming year? Well, it certainly helps when you know how to do so for free from your own home.
There are so many simple ways to volunteer or donate to charity by giving up a small amount of your time or re-purposing some money you would normally have spent. So here’s a list of five of the best quick and easy ways to volunteer or donate to charity. Bookmark the list of charities and use it to do the rounds weekly!
Skip1.org
This is a great concept — it’s a site which makes you think about how much money you waste on frivolous things. You nominate something which you will give up, say a lunch or newspapers for a month. Then you donate that same amount of money to feeding a hungry child.
Yes, you’re handing over money to charity, but it’s money you would have spent anyway. It’s also easy to share news of your donation with your friends via social networks, and hopefully convince a few of them to skip something for charity too.
Free Rice
Free Rice has been around a while, but it’s so good it’s worth making sure it’s on this list. Play a simple, addictive trivia quiz and Free Rice will donate rice for each of your correct answers. This is a free and simple way to give whenever you have a free moment. Read more on FreeRice here.
Causes
There are a number of things you can do using Causes, including raising awareness for your chosen charity and helping to raise funds for them. By far the easiest way to donate money with Causes is to set up a birthday or holiday fund. This way, instead of receiving presents from friends and family, you simply ask them to donate the money on your behalf. It takes about two minutes to set up, since you can log in with Facebook Connect – just choose the charity and you’re set!
Charity Gifts
Here’s another easy way to spend your money on charity instead of something you were already going to pay for. Instead of giving gifts to your friends, give them the knowledge that you have donated to charity on their behalf. The Donation4Charity website searches all the big charity gifting sites (such as UNICEF, WWF and Oxfam) and lets you search the gifts according to how much money you have available to spend. Buy a goat for charity for about the same price as a modest gift!
Sparked
Spend 5-10 minutes donating your expertise to charity: Give website feedback, brainstorm fundraising ideas or help design an awareness campaign. This is what they need help with – if you can spend a few minutes working on it then you’ve made a difference to a real charity with just a moment of your time. Read more on Sparked here & get going!
And many, many more!

So Christmas has been and gone. Are you now facing the New Year and wondering how you can keep up the Christmas spirit and goodwill for the coming year? Well, it certainly helps when you know how to do so for free from your own home.
There are so many simple ways to volunteer or donate to charity by giving up a small amount of your time or re-purposing some money you would normally have spent. So here’s a list of five of the best quick and easy ways to volunteer or donate to charity. Bookmark the list of charities and use it to do the rounds weekly!
Skip1.org
This is a great concept — it’s a site which makes you think about how much money you waste on frivolous things. You nominate something which you will give up, say a lunch or newspapers for a month. Then you donate that same amount of money to feeding a hungry child.
Yes, you’re handing over money to charity, but it’s money you would have spent anyway. It’s also easy to share news of your donation with your friends via social networks, and hopefully convince a few of them to skip something for charity too.
Free Rice
Free Rice has been around a while, but it’s so good it’s worth making sure it’s on this list. Play a simple, addictive trivia quiz and Free Rice will donate rice for each of your correct answers. This is a free and simple way to give whenever you have a free moment. Read more on FreeRice here.
Causes
There are a number of things you can do using Causes, including raising awareness for your chosen charity and helping to raise funds for them. By far the easiest way to donate money with Causes is to set up a birthday or holiday fund. This way, instead of receiving presents from friends and family, you simply ask them to donate the money on your behalf. It takes about two minutes to set up, since you can log in with Facebook Connect – just choose the charity and you’re set!
Charity Gifts
Here’s another easy way to spend your money on charity instead of something you were already going to pay for. Instead of giving gifts to your friends, give them the knowledge that you have donated to charity on their behalf. The Donation4Charity website searches all the big charity gifting sites (such as UNICEF, WWF and Oxfam) and lets you search the gifts according to how much money you have available to spend. Buy a goat for charity for about the same price as a modest gift!
Sparked
Spend 5-10 minutes donating your expertise to charity: Give website feedback, brainstorm fundraising ideas or help design an awareness campaign. This is what they need help with – if you can spend a few minutes working on it then you’ve made a difference to a real charity with just a moment of your time. Read more on Sparked here & get going!
And many, many more!
There are so many great ways to donate your time to charity — the sites listed above are just a few. Here’s some more great articles which introduce many more you might like to try.

Besides Associated Content, there are many other legitimate online writing sites to which you can apply and from which you can start earning money. Some online writing sites accept only U.S. residents, while others take international writers as well. It is imperative that you study an online writing site's page view payment plan, as well as any ad revenue sharing, before deciding to invest your time and efforts with the site. A site's Alexa ranking is also critical, because the Alexa ranking indicates how popular a site is in relation to other web sites. In essence, the lower a site's Alexa ranking number is, the more heavily visited (popular) the site is. For example, Yahoo! has an Alexa ranking of 1, and Google has an Alexa rank of 4; both sites are extremely popular and heavily visited. Associated Content has an Alexa ranking of 551, by the way.
The following is a list of 5 online writing sites which pay a respectable passive income, occasional up-front income, and have decent Alexa ranks to boot:
1. Bukisa.com
Bukisa carries an Alexa rank of 5,249 and is not limited to U.S. residents. Writers earn money via the "Bukisa Index", which is a daily report on total ad sharing revenue. For example, if the Bukisa Index is 5, your articles earn $5.00 per 1,000 unique visitors. Bukisa does not disclose how it calculates this ad sharing index number. If you would like to know more about Bukisa, please be sure to read this article from Barbie Crafts.
2. Factoidz.com
Factoidz has an Alexa rank of 23,708 and is also not limited to U.S. residents. Its popularity has been growing steadily ever since mid-2009, and writers do not seem to have too many complaints about the site. Factoidz is known to be quite stringent about its article review and editing, which befits a fact-gathering and publishing site. The site operates via a 50% ad revenue sharing model, with writers earning from $1-$5 per 1,000 views, and moderators earning from $4-$8 per 1,000 views.
3. Helium.com
People who have read my past article on Helium know that I am not the biggest fan of this online writing site. However, there is a dedicated and rather vociferous group of individuals who swear by it. Helium's Alexa rank is quite good, standing at 1,765. International writers are welcome, and content in almost any category can be submitted. Helium's revenue sharing model is rather confusing, relying on a star-based article rating system wherein Helium users rate articles written by others, and are themselves rated on their own ratings.
4. Hubpages.com
Hubpages sports an impressive Alexa rank of 230 and a steadily growing community of both U.S.-based and international writers. The site operates via a 60% ad revenue sharing model, which is better than many other online writing sites. Writers are paid whenever visitors click on and read their articles. I have a profile on Hubpages and still earn quite well on page views for the few articles I've published there.
5. Squidoo.com
Squidoo offers money-making opportunities for all of its writers regardless of residency. It also boasts an impressive Alexa rank of 235. The site maintains a 50% ad revenue sharing model and rates articles via a star-based ranking system, wherein more popular articles are assigned more stars. One of the unexpected benefits of publishing to Squidoo is that you can create and add widget-like features to your article, including a widget to the Amazon store, eBay, Netflix, and CafePress. For affiliate marketers, this is a tremendous business boon, since it essentially amounts to free advertising.
