Jamberry Nail Consultant

2011-12-05T17:39:00.000-08:00

Update, December 17th. I received my kit today and put on my nails and I really love them. It was really easy putting on. The only ones that took longer to put on was my pinky toe nails and the one next to it. I made those stripes to see how they look. After I did my nails I sent a pic to everyone I knew and they all want some! Wow these are beautiful.

Do You Have What It Takes To Be An Entreprenuer?

2011-10-12T18:47:00.000-07:00

Do you ever sit back and wish you can be like others and fire your boss and be a successful entreprenuer? If the answer is yes, what are you doing about it? All successful people have one thing in common. They have the dedication to make their dreams come true. It takes alot of work but if you are determined to change your situation you can. If you want to make money online, then make it. Do your research and stop being lazy. If you want to make money from your blog, then blog about something you love. I love to tell people how to find work from home jobs and how to research them and find all the free things online that will teach you how to make money. If you have different things you want to blog about then create more than one blog or just put it all in one. Sometimes several blogs work and sometimes one is better. If you love what you do, you will want to do it all the time.

Give yourself goals and try to stick to them. If you don't meet your goal, don't quit, just try harder. It's like people who say they wish they can win the lottery but they never play. Hello McFly, you have to play to win. When it all comes down to it, you have to keep trying until you succeed. People who succeed never give up because they had the passion to keep going. One day it will happen to me and until then I will keep trying.

Your Man Should Have A Job

2011-10-12T05:59:00.001-07:00

If you are working hard in the office,at home, or a stay at home mom you should have a man that is there to protect you. It's only natural that a man should want to take care of his family. But if you're the kind of women that keeps attracting broke men, try wearing this cute shirt. I wore it to the store and had so many compliments so I decided to upload the shirt online. Let me know if you like it.

Make a $1000 online in 81 days

2011-10-11T18:32:00.000-07:00

Ok. So I bet my coworkers that I was going to make a $1000 by December 31st online. It doesn't matter where it comes from but as long as it combines to a $1000.

So far this month I have made
$36.46 from adsense
$8.88 from Amazon
$10.65 from cashcrate
$5.46 from Zazzle
$0 from Big Crumbs

That makes that a whopping $61.45. LOL So now I have $938.55 to go which amounts to $11.58 per day. Can I do it? Yes I can do it! And for those of you who thinks this is nothing, congrats to you but this is something to me being as though it takes me a month to make a $100 LOL. Anyway time to join some GPT's, update ALL my blogs(maybe), promote my zazzle store and get my hustle on. I am going to win this bet! I better. LOL

Making Money With Zazzle

2011-10-10T16:55:00.000-07:00

Woohoo! It's my birthday! Ok maybe not but I made my first sale through Zazzle selling one of my husband's designs. Why am I happy? Well all I did was put up about 30 designs and haven't done anything with it and someone bought it. Just imagine what can happen if I promote it or add more products to it. But on top of all that, the person was from France. Wow!!! We are going international! LOL I'm too happy.

Here is the store. It's calledNiorapparel because Nothing Is Out Of Reach! My husband has started his own tshirt business and has been making tshirts for business and local friends and I have also been adding some of his designs on Zazzle. He has millions of designs but I have been too lazy to upload them and some he prefers to make himself because they require vinyl. Either way, I'm just happy to help out.

I have also created some other blogs and will focus on referring Zazzle products from other stores along with my Amazon associate info. You don't even have to have a store to make money. Just sign up for free and create a blog and while you are logged into Zazzle, you click on a product and click on the link button and copy the html code and put it on your blog. If someone makes a purchase through the link, you will get 15% commission and the owner will also make money. This is a win win situation. Now I have more money I can add to my savings goal of $10,000 by next year. Turning 40 is around the corner and if I keep increasing my money making ideas online, I might just be able to do this full time and tell my boss to kiss my bumper. LOL

How To Make Money From YouTube

2011-10-09T19:09:00.000-07:00

Well if you already have a youtube account, all you need to do is sign up with Flixya and read the steps on how to incorporate google adsense in your videos. Now when everyone watches your videos online, you will also get paid for it. How sweet is that?

Making money online is just too easy and it's free.

Work At Home Button

2011-10-08T19:57:00.001-07:00

I found this really cool work at home button.

I'm a Real WAHM by SocialProfitHub
Browse Wahm Buttons

I think I am going to buy it. This has made me want to promote my zazzle store again. I just started added some of my husbands designs online and will be promoting his store too. This is getting me more excited about my savings woo hoo!! But in the meantime I am about to support another wahm and buy a button. If anyone knows her, tell her to make some tshirts too.

Save Money By Leaving Bank Of America

2011-10-06T17:29:00.000-07:00

Ok so I know you have heard by now that Bank Of America is going to start charging a $5 monthly fee to use your own money. Well to add more insult to it, "Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan has said his bank’s new $5 fee debit card fee is justified because the bank “has a right to make a profit,” according to CNN Money." The video is on Huffingtonpost

How ridiculous is that? Some may say well what's 5 dollars. Well here's a scenario. If you are one of those people that lives paycheck to paycheck like most people, and you have $20 left in your account, you go purchase some gas or something for $16 then the $5 fee hits the account so now you have a negative dollar in your account and here comes the big whopper with that nasty $35 over draft fee. So that $5 fee just cost you an additional $35 which would never happen if you didn't have the fee.

I personally don't like banks and stick with my credit unions. I love them. I actually have 2. Two are online and one local. My favorite one is USAA They rock!! I actually got in when they were accepting non military customers. I hear they periodically do this and I never have complaints.

Bottom line this extra $5 fee comes up to $60 a year that you can add to your savings. Why throw money away? Leave the bullies and find a bank that wont charge you to spend YOUR money.

Making Extra Money for the Holidays

2011-10-02T20:17:00.001-07:00

The Holidays are coming and if you are anything like me, you need extra money. Blogging does help if you stay consistent. When should you give it up? Never. Why give up blogging for money if it doesn't cost you a penny to make one in the first place? I'm sticking with blogger. It's free and I make money from it.

Another thing you can do is find a work at home job. Make sure it's something that fits within your schedule. Just make sure you do your research. You can find quite a few on the side links of my blog.

If working from home isn't for you, try applying for jobs at the mall or anywhere right now. Most are doing seasonal hiring so it should be easy.

Also if your current job offers overtime but you can never get it to fix in your schedule, try working over just 30 minutes a day. Within 2 weeks you will have an easy 5 hours of overtime in your check.

If you like surveys, try joining a survey and work your referrals. You will see an increase in no time.

If you have any suggestions, please feel free to comment.

Making money with Surveys

2011-09-15T18:25:00.001-07:00

I am still with Cashcrate and just in case you haven't joined, it is still free to sign up and now you can watch videos and get paid for just watching the videos and still make money from referrals. You can easily get paid within a minute of signing up with a survey. If you want free money, sign up. You'll be happy and if you're serious, you can start getting $1000 checks a month like some people. This is why I originally signed up. Any money I make this month, I am going to add money towards my savings goal.

Earthquake in Baltimore

2011-08-23T10:57:00.000-07:00

Oh my gosh, I'm at work and we just had an earthquake in East Baltimore. Did ya feel that! Wow that was scary. All I could do was pray.

It's payday. How much did I save today?

2011-08-19T17:41:00.000-07:00

I have a family of six and my mom lives with me so we have 7 to feed. I budgeted $700 a month in grocery food which comes to $25 daily in food.

Lunch today at work $2.79 Chick Fila sandwich. I had my own juice.

Today
Large Pizza from Pizza Hut $12 ($2 more stuff crust)
and a Pazone for my husband $5, with tax and tip even thought I picked it up I rounded it to $20. So I met my market goal and lunch goal.

I have $150 to put up this week from my husband and my income. And an additional $40 goes to another account.

Today our savings is up to $330.

Save $10,000 by the age of 40

2011-08-18T19:11:00.000-07:00

Ok being as though I will be 40 next November I really need some help. So far in my savings I have a measley $140. Woooo lol But I am determined to do this. Tomorrow is a a payday and I'm starting to write checks from one account and put in the other. I have also been sticking to $4 or less for my lunch menus. Eating from places like Burger King, Taco Bell, Wendy's, Kentucky Fried, Wawa, McDonalds, and any place that have the dollar menu. I can save more if I bring my lunch instead of going out.

I am also saving any overtime money that I make and any raises from my job. As of today I have about 34 pays left. So minus my $140, I need to set aside $290 per pay. Is that likely, umm no but I'm going to try since I do make a little bit of money online so I'll have to take that money and save it. Whew this is a real challenge.

Wish me luck. I'll keep ya updated

Apple Cider Vinegar Benefits

2010-05-17T18:48:00.000-07:00

I like to save money and I don't believe everything a doctor says so I am all for home remedies. If you ever tried apple cider vinegar, then you can understand it when I say it seems like it can cure everything!!! My husband had high blood pressure and I told him to take a tblsp of acv from in the morning, noon and night and he just came back from the doctor for his 3 month follow up and his cholesterol and blood pressure went down and an added bonus, he lost 9 lbs! I love this stuff. It seems like it cures everything. It has helped with my PMS and my cramps! I used to call out of work every month and fuss everyone out. Now since I have been taking a tblsp a day, it has been going away to the point I haven't even taking tylenol. I love it! Thank God for giving me the knowledge to look up home remedies!

The owner of Bizymoms is allowing me to share a great article from their site. Enjoy!

Why more women are choosing to start a home business
By Bizymoms.com Management

Work At Home - Bizymoms
Work at Home Business - A world leader catering to work at home moms, helping them to be independent by letting them start and manage their own business.

It's a big decision to stay home with your family, rather than continue in a traditional job outside the home. But did you know that there are many choices if you decide to do so?
The first step before starting a work from home business is to forget about the business all together. Don’t think about what kind of business you want or what you want from it or anything like that. Next, write down your life. What have you accomplished in your lifetime so far? What things have you not done that you thought you would have done by now. What things would you like to accomplish or do in the years to come?
Look at your answers and write down goals for yourself. What would you like to achieve and by when would you like to achieve them. What will it take to achieve these goals? Are you in a position now that you will be able to achieve your goals? If not, why not?
These answers and goals should be your motivation for whatever you decide to do. So now you hopefully know what you want out of life!
Getting what you want in life usually involves knowing what you want first. If you get what you want before you even know you wanted it, consider yourself lucky, and don’t throw it away before you realize its value.
There are several advantages to working from your home including flexible working hours, low overhead, and more available time to work while other people are commuting to their jobs. Obviously the appeal of one or more of these can be more than enough for many of us to give working from home a try.

And who knows, maybe a few minutes, hours, or days later, you'll land a big sale or be rewarded for your efforts like never before. And then you'll be reminded that, YES! You are doing the right thing! That the "crazy" idea of starting your own home-based business was actually the BEST decision you've ever made.

Here are the Top 10 reasons for moms to start a home business

- Save on Day Care costs
- No commuting
- More flexibility
- Spend more time with your family
- Save on office attire and lunches
- Helps you to do something you like
- To be able to say ‘I own a business’
- You don’t have to execute your boss’s ideas
- Satisfied with your own achievements
- Your time is invested for your betterment

As you can see the benefits are numerous. Take some time today to see if starting a home business is the right choice for you. List the costs of commuting and working outside of your home. List the perks to being home for your children everyday, list the “downers” too. Also make a list of the space, equipment and skills you already possess that will aid you in starting a home based business. And finally, make a list of the possible businesses you could start with the equipment and skill set you just listed. Writing down your thoughts and assets is a great way to see the whole picture as it pertains to you and your family. You may be very surprised where your lists lead you. Give it a try!

Article Title:

Taxes For Independent Contractors

2007-12-17T12:58:00.000-08:00

If you work from home as an independent contractor, the rule of thumb is to at least put 30% of your check aside every pay. You can open up another bank account and if you have direct deposit, just simply get 30% deposited into your other account and do not touch it. If you start this as soon as you are hired, you will never miss it. It is better to do this early than to wait until the last minute when it is time to pay back Uncle Sam.

Gifts Under $20

2007-12-03T10:30:00.000-08:00

If you have to buy someone a gift for under $20 what would it be? Sometimes doing Secret Santa at your job can be stressful if the person you picked doesn't have anything specific on their list. Make it easy for them and write down 3 things that is easy to get. If you have a maximum of $20 on your list then don't put a shirt or blouse down. Not everyone has your taste and you might be getting a gift you really don't like.

Every year I put lottery scratchoffs as number#1(I won $10 from my co-worker in the past and plus your secret santa can buy those anywhere)
Then I put candles(this make it less stressful for them to buy you something and plus)

Last but not least I put down giftcards. You can buy giftcards from anywhere.

If someone picks me they can never go wrong because everything I wrote on the list is simple. If you are going to do secret santa make sure you don't make it hard on the person that picks your name. :)

Improve Your Credit

2007-11-30T09:09:00.000-08:00

If you are like me and have experienced bad credit before then you know how hard it is to get your credit back in shape. After filing bankruptcy years ago I had to learn how to get my credit back up to speed. The first thing I did was apply for a credit card.

Why, simply because I needed to build my credit score back up and paying something on time every month improved it alot. In less than 6 months my score went up 40 points just from paying on my credit card on time. Just make sure if you get a credit card that you are only getting one to improve your credit. If you pay on time every month but carry a high balance, then that will only lower your score. Having a balance show make other lenders believe that you are burying yourself in debt.

Thanksgiving Is Coming

2007-11-20T06:42:00.000-08:00

I took my turkey out the freezer last night and put it in the refrigerator. I am so ready for Thanksgiving. So far we are having Turkey, Ham, Greens, String Beans, home made Macaroni and Cheese(my specialty), Candy Yams, Sourkraut, Potato Salad, Mash Potatoes, Apple Pie, Sweet Potatoe Pie, Banana Pudding, Cake, biscuits, cornbread, and I think that's it. With my family of 6, my cousins and in-laws, I am sure left overs will not exist once again. Luckily I have the day after Thanksgiving off so I can rest after eating like who did it and why. LOL.

Yesterday online, I heard about this CyberMonday thing where you can do your Black Friday shopping online Monday. I am going to have to check this out especially since I really don't like dealing with the crowds on Black Friday.

Google Pays Home Workers: Work From Home Job

2007-11-18T18:59:00.000-08:00

Work from home with Google as an Ads Quality Rater. Right now it looks like all the English speaking positions are taken but if you speak German or Korean then you still can apply. If you research the forums, contractors wont say much about it because they have to sign a non-disclosure agreement so you may not find much regarding the position and the pay. Periodically check the site because they do hire English positions. The pay range that I have heard others say was $10-$19 per hour. It is a pretty good position and it seems like it is hard to get in.

Tips On Getting House Remodeled

2007-11-14T15:46:00.000-08:00

Here is a step by step guide to help you hire a quality home improvement contractor.

Before talking to any contractors the first thing to do is create a budget for the project. Without a budget you will be flying blind and may end up over spending. Having a tight budget will also help you make decisions about what kind of fixtures, and materials to purchase. Most products have a wide price range and having a budget will help keep you in line when making buying decisions.

After you have your budget dialed in get three written estimates from three different contractors. Be sure the estimate is complete; getting a “written” estimate on the back of a business card is not a sign of a good contractor. Getting three estimates will enable you to compare prices from different contractors. Reliableremodeler.com is a great service that will help you get free estimates from quality contractors for free.

Take the time to talk with each contractor and get a feel for which one you will be most comfortable working with and having in your home. Be sure and pay attention to things like who shows up on time and who is prepared to talk about your project. If a contractor shows up late to your appointment chances are they will show up late when working on your project.

While you are in the process of selecting a contractor it is a good idea to make sure they have the proper license, insurance, and bonding. All three of these items are in place to protect homeowners. Working with a contractor who isn’t licensed or doesn’t have the proper insurance might come back to haunt you. A good contractor will show you copies of these documents when they present your written estimate.

The next step is to check the references of the contractor you are leaning towards selecting. Be sure to ask specific questions about their experience with the contractor. “Did the contractor show up on time?” “Did the contractor clean up after themselves?” If you want to be more aggressive you can ask the contractor for the names and numbers of their last three jobs and call those instead of their handpicked references. This will provide a more realistic overview of the contractors daily work habits and skills.

The last step is to select your contractor and have them provide you a timeline for the completion of the project. Having a timeline will help ensure your project is completed in a timely manner.

Today Is My Birthday

2007-11-09T05:54:00.001-08:00

I am now 35. I am still a baby. :) My husband wonders why I went to work today. I never take off for my birthday unless I have a big vacation planned. Hubby let me use his bank card yesterday to go shopping. Wow that felt great! I bought some clothes and some nice sexy boots. My man is good to me. :) This morning when I woke up, he told me to turn the kitchen light off before we left the house and he had my favorite cake on the table. STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE! I was about to eat it for breakfast this morning. LOL. I am going to save it until I come home today. We are going to dinner and probably a movie. I actually wanted to stay home and rent movies but he wants to take me out so I'll gladly go.

Learn To Save

2007-11-08T20:22:00.001-08:00

Think bad credit wont hurt, think again. Everyday people max out their credit cards, get unaffordable mortgages, buy expensive cars, clothes and unnecessary items that just put them more into debt. Why do people do this? Its a habit. For some it is just as addictive as someone who is addicted to drugs or sex. Is it possible to get out of debt and change spending habits? The answer to that is YES.

The main reason why 95% of us work is that we have bills we need to pay but not everyone pays their bills first. Some pay their bills but have so many that they don't know what bills to pay first.
Here are some tips that can help you get start saving today:

1. No matter how much you make, set aside 10% to yourself. I know you have heard this many times before and this should be a reason that you listen this time. The best way to do this is to have more than one bank account and write yourself a check as soon as you get paid and deposit it into another account. Make sure you don't get an atm card for this account. Act like you are paying a bill. Another suggestion is to set up direct deposit for 10% of your check to go into another bank. Make sure this bank is not within 10 miles of your house. This will make it a hassle to get the money out and force you to save.

2. Pay off your credit cards. I can not stress this enough. Credit cards are only here to put you in debt. If you can not afford it today don't buy it. Save one and pay it on time to increase your credit score.

3. Start a spending diary. Write down everything you spend money on. You will be amazed at how much money you throw away. Evaluate it weekly and set a goal to eliminate something that will save you at least $10 a week and throw it in a shoe box. In a year you will have $520 saved up.

4. Use coupons!!!!! Don't you want to save money? Use the extra money saved from the coupon and throw it in a jar. At the end of the week buy yourself some gas.

5. Shop around for sales. If it is not on sale, don't buy it. Look for online deals that gives you cash back for your purchase.

These hints will become a habit over time and easier to do.

How Do I Increase My Milk Supply?

2007-11-08T08:19:00.000-08:00

If you breastfeed, you know exactly what I am talking about. Stress, believe it or not can play a role in how much milk you are producing for your baby. I am no expert but I do have experience since I have breastfed 4 kids.

Here are some tips.

Always stay hydrated. Every time I breastfed, I drank water. You should at least drink 8 glasses a day.

Prenatal vitamins. Even though you are no longer pregnant, these vitamins still play a vital role. Always take your vitamins.

Eating oatmeal. I have always heard that eating oatmeal helps.

Feed on demand rather than by schedule. I have done both breastfeeding and bottle and it seems like the schedule only works with the bottles.

Dont stress yourself out. I know what stress does. I was stressed out with my 3rd child. This was my first child that I had to work full time with and after 7 weeks she was on the bottle. This was hard on me since I have always breastfed all of my kids. If this is something you really want to do, visit other support groups for some tips.

Here are some good breastfeeding forums.

Privatephone Shutting Down

2007-11-07T18:10:00.000-08:00

If you have been using Private Phone for your voice mail messages or free phone service, it will be shutting down effective December 15, 2007. This was really a great service because you could give this number out to telemarketers or when filling out contests and not have to worry about them calling your house but now it is coming to an end.

You can still get free services through GrandCentral which includes the free voicemail and call screening and forwarding your phone to ring at any destination you want and you can send your telemarketers to spam. This by far is the best service but it is by invite only but you can get yourself on a waiting list.

Here are some other services that offer free or low cost services.

How Much Time Do You Get for Maternity Leave

2007-11-06T13:19:00.000-08:00

I know when I was pregnant while working, the first thing I wanted to know about was maternity leave. If you are pregnant and working outside the home you should find out right away about your companies maternity leave policies. When should you tell your boss that you are pregnant? In my case, I didn't tell them until my belly started showing. I wanted it to be known to everyone that I was pregnant just in case someone wanted to act stupid and fired me. LOL. (Of course that didn't happen) My job gave me 6 weeks paid maternity leave at 60% of my salary. Make sure you enroll in the short term disability if it isn't given to you automatically. This will definitely come in handy.

Living Green Tips

2007-11-05T10:49:00.000-08:00

Turn lights off when leaving the room. As silly as this may sound, it actually saves alot on using unecessary energy. If you get in the habit of doing this daily, you will notice a difference on your electric bill.

Turn the computer off when not in use and unplug it. Even if you are not using it, the computer uses alot of energy.

Use natural light. Don't you like the sun? If you turn off the lights when you first wake up and let the sun in, you will actually feel better. You will really feel much better when you see your electric bill start shrinking before your eyes. Try it out. It wont cost you anything to try but it will cost you if you don't try. :)

Is Your Site Cached In Google?

2007-11-04T00:09:00.000-07:00

A quick way to find out if your site has been cached in Google is to go to Google and type

cache:http://name of your site.com

If your site comes up then your site is cached in Google. If you don't know what this means, it basically means Google has a copy of your site stored in the search engine. This is a good thing. Your site will normally become cached after it has become indexed. Since I am not a guru at this kind of stuff, the only thing I suggest is adding your signature in forums and regularly updating your blog and pinging it will help. I normally ping at Pingomatic and Pingoat

Working From Home Can Save You Money

2007-11-02T15:17:00.001-07:00

If you have been considering to work from home but don't think you can match your current office salary, then there are some things you should write down and compare.

Average work outside the house mom(wohm) makes $12.50 an hour which is $500 weekly
Daycare costs for child under 2 is $250 a week
Gas $30 a week to get to work
Clothes for work - estimate $20 a week
Lunch(fast food), $4 a day average spender- $20 a week

This leaves the work outside the house mom with $180 (before taxes) a week to help contribute to bills in the house.

Average work at home mom(wahm) makes $8 an hour $320 a week
Daycare costs $0
Gas to get to work $0
Clothes for work $0(go shopping in your closet for pjs, lol)
Lunch $0, time to go to the kitchen

This leaves the work from mom with $320, also taxes are normally not taking out. Bigger tax break when tax time comes.

In this scenario, it is better to work from home if you have to pay for daycare. Here's a short list of work from home jobs.

Flooded Basement

2007-10-28T11:46:00.000-07:00

This weekend after all the rain, my basement flooded about 6 inches. I've only been in this house a year. My husband bought this pump thing from Homedepot for about $100 and it took about 7 hours to drain. We just called our home owners insurance to see if they will cover anything that we lost. This is very stressful.

Anyone have any home remedies or reasonable priced ideas on waterproofing our basement?

***Update. My home owners insurance doesn't cover any leakage or flood from the weather***** Just freakin great!

Bloggertizer Pays!

2007-10-27T14:24:00.000-07:00

I just did my post on Bloggertizer Pays Bloggers not that long ago and I just got an email stating I received a payment in Paypal. Well I checked it and I got my $5! Woohoo! Prompt and fast! If you haven't joined, what are you waiting for.

Bloggertizer Pays Bloggers

2007-10-27T11:49:00.000-07:00

Bloggertizer is a new program that pays you to post. It's pretty easy to sign up. You just add your blog name, url, and a quick description about your blog. You decide whether you will accept paid permanent links, monthly links, pre-written articles or original content articles. After you add the tags that are related to your blog you hit submit and then your blog will be available for advertisers to view. To get you started with the program, Bloggertizer will pay you $5 for your first post via paypal.

The thing that I like about this program already is that you can negotiate with your advertiser. If you choose to neglect an offer you can do so. Advertisers can view blogs by categories and it will show what the bloggers pagerank and trade rating status. Seems like a pretty good program so far.

If you have experience with Bloggertizer please leave a comment.

Research Get Paid To Blog Programs

2007-10-26T12:55:00.000-07:00

Research the get paid to blog programs in forums for a while and see if anyone has been paid. I normally read through forums for at least a month before joining programs.

Accept payments preferably through paypal. Do not give out your bank information.

Check to see if they have contact information such as name, address, phone number email etc.

Check out the ops and research them to see if they are promoting illegal things. Just because they pay you to post doesn't mean it is legal. Anyone can pay bloggers to post about them. You could be posting something positive about a site, only to find out later that they are scamming people. Most of these ops will pay you big money if they can get a link back to a legit site. Don’t just accept any opportunity. You always want to keep a good image about your site.

If they aren't an established company, don't give out your ss#. Even if they state it is required for tax purposes. You only need it if you make over $600. Fill out all 5’s if you have to. You will still get paid.

Check and see if the company is based in US. If not, they are not required to go by our same rules. Always read the rules and agreements before joining anything.

Have any tips you want to share, leave a comment.

Breast Cancer Walk

2007-10-21T17:01:00.000-07:00

Today my mother and I participated in the Breast Cancer Walk. It was really cool going out there to support Breast Cancer Survivors like my mom. We didn't complete the whole walk but we did walk a mile. That was the longest mile, whew! LOL. I look like I am in shape but actually I'm not. I need to walk a mile more often. Anyway I hope you can show your support by participating in a walk or contributing to the Breast Cancer cause.

Married Moms Who Feel Single

2007-10-20T18:14:00.000-07:00

What is the difference between single moms taking care of kids and married moms taking care of kids? Absolutely nothing. Even though you're married, your husband expects you to do everything by yourself regardless if you both work or not. Why is your wife sitting home alone with the kids while you are out hanging in the streets like you're single. Women are not the only ones who knows how to cook, clean and take care of the kids. Believe it or not men can too but most just choose not too. When your wife talks to you about her day, listen. You would be surprised how much happier your marriage would be if you just take the time and listen.

If you are a man, do you help your wife?

Another Changing My Template Attempt

2007-10-19T08:57:00.000-07:00

Ok so by now you can tell that I don't know HTML. Yes that is one of my weaknesses besides Kryptonite. :) Today I will be attempting to change my blog template once again. The last time I did it, the whole right side disappeared and I had to manually add ever link back in one by one. Arggggggggh! That was very time consuming. So you know I will be saving this before I make any changes. Wish me luck and give me some feedback. Right now its this ugly green like color but I will try my best. Hope I don't mess up this time.

Robot Babies for School Projects

2007-10-18T11:52:00.000-07:00

The robot babies that teachers give to teenagers for school projects, lets them experience a taste of motherhood. It just shows teenagers how babies are unpredictable and will cry when you least expect it. The dolls are installed with sensitive data to show whether or not the baby was cared for or not. It will show how many feedings were missed, how long the doll cried and if there was any shaken involved. These dolls are not meant to replace real babies. The purpose is to show teenagers how to care for a child and learn why they are crying. I think it is a good idea in training the teenagers but they need to know that these babies are just dolls and nowhere close to the real needs of a real baby.

How to Be A Diva?

2007-10-17T13:25:00.000-07:00

Do you want to live like a diva? I know I do. I have goals like you wouldn't believe. Instead of me whining about what I don't have I need to be happy about what I do have. Even though it isn't much I still try my best to stay focused on saving $3 a day. It is becoming second nature to me. Sometimes I am a little too frugal and need to get some occassional fashion ideas from The Diva Network. There are some really great items there at great prices. Every once in a while you have to treat yourself and live like a diva.

Make Extra Money With CashCrate

2007-10-13T12:38:00.000-07:00

I have been reading about Cashcrate for a while now and I decided to give it a try. If you don't know, Cashcrate is a site that pays you to do surveys, enter contests and try some offers. Since I am the type that will not pay for things, I only do the free surveys. Since I signed up 3 days ago I have now made over $27.01 and have $9.85 pending. Not too bad. I also have 6 referrals of which 4 are active.

Below is your earnings information since your last payment.

Earnings from Offers: $23.70
Earnings from Daily Surveys: $0.00
Earnings from Referrals: $3.31
Earnings from Bonuses: $0.00
Total Earnings: $27.01

One thing I do suggest before signing up is to get an alternative email address. I signed up with Gmail because you will get alot of spam. Also since you are giving out your phone number you will receive telemarketing calls. To solve this problem, you can sign up with Google Voice. It is completely free and it will you give you your own number and voicemail to be forwarded to any number you want. If you start to get spam, you can block the numbers. I only do surveys that I am interested in and I also read the terms and conditions. Always read what you are joining.

To learn more about Cashcrate visit the forums.

Here are proof of checks from other users

cashcrate check for $32.05
cashrate check for $1,531.07
cashcrate check for $46.10
cashcrate check for $10.35
cashcrate check for $221.54

The key in getting bigger checks are referrals. If you sign up under me let me know.

How To Get Referrals?

2007-10-11T14:22:00.000-07:00

Some good ways to get referrals are by joining forums. Add your signature and responds to posts normally and offer valuable information. Try to avoid unnecessary drama. This will sometimes give people a bad view of you and can also make you lose a potential referral. If you offer alot of good advice, people will click on your signature out of curiosity. If you are new to a forum, don't spam it with "Look How I Make Money" posts. You haven't given them any credibility to trust you yet, so why should they?

Another good way of getting referrals is by being a great upline. Don't just sign people up and leave them hanging. Offer some tips and help them get referrals. Keep contact with them and give them your IM to answer any questions they may have. If your downline is successful, you will be too. :)

Have any tips you want to share? Leave a comment.

So stop what you are doing and take a minute out and create a new post. Sometimes all you need to do is let your readers know how much you appreciate them.

Entreprenuer Lesson

2007-10-08T16:48:00.000-07:00

If you fail at your business take full responsibility for it. Learning from your mistakes and realizing where you went wrong will help you the next time your try. Blaming others for not being successful is a common thing we do. We may blame our spouse for not being supportive enough. It's not their fault so retrain your brain. If you want to succeed you will one day. Maybe the business you chose isn't the one for you. Like the saying goes, "if at first you don't succeed try try again."
