You know me, I'm always on the hunt to find different ways to make extra money.  So when I find new money making opportunities, I make sure to share it with you all.

Last week, Raise.com contacted me to join their current campaign over on my other blog called Give Yourself a Raise.  Since I've never heard of them before, I went on their website to take a look.

Hey Everyone!  Sorry for the late post, today is my birthday so it's
been a crazy morning for me with everyone contacting me to wish me a Happy 30th Birthday! (I can't believe I'm 30!)

Anyway, I found out about a new website what gives free samples called SampleSource.com.  Their concept is "Try Before You Buy."

This is pretty cool because you can try out something for free before spending the money and not ending up disliking the product and wasting your money.  Right now I'm waiting on several dental product samples to arrive in the mail.

You guys should check it out!
