Mash for Cash

No, not the potatoes, but you might be able to do that too. Mash is another term for embedding into your site. It was new to me too. The News Room is a site that allows you access to news stories that can be mashed into your site. This allows you to have current and quality news feeds on your site, but it gets better.

You also can earn money by doing this. How? There is advertising that comes with these news stories. You earn a portion of the advertising dollars each time a mashed story is viewed at your site, and you earn even more if someone mashes content from your site.

I decided to give it a try. I went to the reference section, just to see what was there. I chose the video below because caffeine is near and dear to my heart.

Signing up is easy and it is free. You can embed images, articles or video in a wide range of categories. It was easy to embed the video too. I browsed in the categories I was interested in, and when I picked a video to use, I simply had to click the "mash" button and click a couple options, then copy and paste the code. It was very simple.

Mash for cash, this is a pretty interesting concept. I only scratched the surface of what The News Room offers in my browsing tonight. I plan to check this out more. Always looking for more ways to earn money to pay off our debt!
