Holiday Cheers From CouponChief
2007-11-05 10:34:00
The Christmas holiday season is just around the corner and before you know it, you'll start thinking about what to stuff your stockings! Don't worry, CouponChief is here for you. I love to use online coupons and most of the time, I go to CouponChief to get them. As for me this year, I would like to get my loved ones something special and unique. Perhaps I can get my husband a little electronic appointment book from Best Buy and a few of his favorite movies, new toys for my two little boys from KBToys or Lego, and some delectable cookies and flowers for my mother in-law at David's Cookies and Teleflora. Wow, I've made quite a list there. :)So I'm excited because I know if I do my online shopping and use the store coupons from Coupon Chief, I will be saving a lot of money for my Christmas shopping.

Thoughts On Christmas Gift-Giving
2007-11-04 19:48:00
Now that Christmas is coming up, I am starting to think of gifts I can give my siblings and close friends. I'm leaning towards personalized gift items, such as mini-photo albums with my kids' cute photos in them, or other photo-based gift products like photo pillows, or photo pillowcases..hmmm..sounds like a grand plan, huh? So I was looking at this cool website last night while I was doing my research on this, and saw these beautiful photo blankets that are completely machine-washable. They even have duvet covers and shower curtains, besides the photo pillows and photo pillowcases that can be customized. Such a beautiful work of art. I love this site. It's super easy to read and navigate, and I think it's very unique that they would offer customized photo shower curtains as gifts. I've never come across any personalized product like this before. So now I'm looking at my budget to see if I can afford giving one of these items to my mother in-law, who loves decoratig her house ...

How To Shop For A Personal Loan
2007-11-04 07:33:00
If you've been looking into getting a personal loan, perhaps to buy that sporty new car you've been eyeing for some time, chances are, you've been shopping around for the best deal on a loan. So why not consider getting a personal loan?Maybe you've been inquiring online or personally at your bank for the best loan rates loans and now you're swamped with all kind of offers to get secured or unsecured loans from hundreds of loan brokers and lenders. These days, it's all about the competition.If you own your own home, then you are considered a very good credit candidate for homeowner loans due to the equity that you have in your home. Because of this, companies are going to try and get any chance to do business with you. Be wary though, not every bank or lender who wants to lend you money are good places to do business with. Some of these lending places are reputable but others however, are predatory and will look to saddle you with some extremely high interest rates and other fe...

Organizing My Life (And My Spending Habit)
2007-11-03 06:38:00
I recently read an article about tips on 'organizing your life'. I could use one of these tips, because right now a lot of areas in my life need to be 'organized'. Right now, our biggest concern is our spending habits on 'unnecessary things'. Me for example: $3-$4 Starbucks coffee X 4 times a week= $16. Yes! $16 could be going to my little kids' college funds every week, not to this already rich coffee company! So see? I could cut back from that habit, if I have to look at it that way. I know it's going to be difficult at first, but this is something I seriously need to cut back if I want to start 'organizing my life'. Another concern I have is the garage. I swear we need lots of garage storage in there. This afternoon when I tried parking my car in the garage, I just realize we have a lot of junk on the garage floor and they need to be discarded. But we do have a lot of good stuff there too, we just need to do some organizing.How about you? What areas in your life need ...

iFLOOR's $1,000,000 warranty
2007-11-02 01:05:00
A recent headline on a business website I read caught my attention:"iFLOOR is offering a $1,000,000 warranty to protect customers from manufacturers who deny warranty claims for flooring purchased online".This was a coincidence, since we've been trying to think of re-flooring one part of our house, especially the dining room area next to the kitchen. This is one of the areas of our house where we do a lot of our family activities and so we want to make this area to look a little more conducive for those activities. We looked at some online deals for flooring and found a few sites that we're interested in purchasing. One of the downsides to buying online though is that it is hard to return the product or get your money back, if you don't really like it or if it's damaged. Most online flooring companies do not offer warranty on their products. So this one offered by the company iFLOOR might just be the ticket for us. This is what the recent press release on their warranty and I th...

I Signed Up For PayPerPost!
2007-11-01 07:51:00
When I first heard about PayPerPost program from a blogger friend who first introduced me to 'blogging for money', I was impressed. At the time I wasn't aware of the whole concept of blog advertising. What Is PayPerPost and how does it work?PayPerPost, or its widely-known acronym PPP in the blogosphere, is a paid blogging network which connects the advertisers with bloggers through the promotion of the advertisers' products and/or services on blogs. Advertisers compensate bloggers for creating content--reviews, feedacks, short articles--on their blogs.This is a win-win situation: Advertisers win by increasing sales and traffic through blog promotion, and bloggers win by getting paid just for posting reviews about the advertisers. Why did I sign up to be a blogger on PayPerPost?A lot of my friends who are into blogging registered their blogs on PayPerPost and I have heard nothing but positive feedbacks about them. One friend told me that you can literally sit infront of your comp...

A Page Rank Of 2
2007-10-28 07:19:00
When I first started this blog about three months ago, one of my goals is to attain a page rank. It had almost become an obsession and several times each day I go to check it, disappointed everytime as the PR of 0 (zero) appears.Well, last night I was checking this blog and saw one of my blogger friends' comment to tell me I need to check my PR for the new Google update. Sure enough, my page rank went from 0 to a PR of 2! Wow! I am very pleased with the results of my hard work. Indeed, when you put your mind and heart into something you want to achieve, you can achieve it. I did not expect it to be a 2 right away, I thought a 1 is just okay..for a start. But hey, of course a 2 is so much better than a 1! I will take it any time! :)How about you? How is your blog's page rank? Did you check it lately?

How To Improve Page Rank For Your Blog
2007-10-25 16:58:00
Over at Blog gerbuster, there is a very helpful article on how you can improve your page rank.Amanda, who owns this blog, is one of my top favorite authorities when it comes to finding how-to's on the many different technicalities on blogging. Acoording to Amanda, as far as improving your blog's pagerank, you are doing it already everytime you update your blog and writing new, quality content on it that people will enjoy reading. I know I am a guilty of this, as I've been slacking off a bit on offering new, helpful information to my readers on this blog.Here are my own thoughts on improving one's blog page rank:1. Write entries on your blog everytime you have a good idea in mind what to write. Blogging is not about writing the perfect article. You have to enjoy what you write and be able to offer helpful information so your readers of course, will have a reason to come back and read your blog again and again.2. Do not be too concern about page rank, it will come in time. It may t...

Blogging For Money: A Few More Ideas
2007-10-22 16:09:00
Here are more ways on how you can make money off your blog:*GOOGLE ADSENSE. Selling ad space might be the oldest way to make money, and with Google's free AdSense service (www.google.com/adsense), it's way too easy. AdSense allows bloggers to display up to three content-specific "ad units" (boxes that can hold up to four ads each) per page. If you're writing about children's books, they'll be ads about children's books. Each time a visitor clicks these ads, you get paid. Google doesn't disclose its exact share of the revenue, but a personalized report page lets you track your own earnings. When you earn at least $100, Google sends you a check. *BLOGADS.COM. BlogAds lets you join its database free and set your own ad prices. Companies (including media bigs such as Paramount Pictures and Random House) then search for suitable blogs and purchase ad space for a set period -- say, one month. In contrast to the way AdSense works, your earnings don't depend on whether a reader clic...

My Other Dream Career
2007-10-09 23:58:00
A few years ago before I had my two babies, I was studying to get my Associates degree in Nursing. The idea of being a travelling nurse really excited me. After I got pregnant with my first baby of course, that little career dream of mine went non-existent. I eventually stopped going to school and decided to stay home and take care of my babies instead. Since I stayed home and relying on my husband's income, I've come up with ways to make money while staying home. Of course, they are not as consistent of an income as what you get out of a regular job, but it definitely will pay the bills with good budgeting. But if I really become a nurse someday, I will definitely be a travelling nurse- my other dream career.

BlogtoProfit: Another Paid Blogging Network
2007-10-05 22:36:00
Blogtoprofit is another paid blogging network where you can submit your blog and make money.Basically, how it works is that they connect you with advertisers that are interested in sponsoring your blog, then you post about the advertiser on your blog and you get paid. How does your blog qualify?Your blog doesn't have to have a page rank in order to qualify. If it's at least 3 months old and has enough backlinks and visitors, most likely your blog will get aacepted at BlogtoProfit.Once you submit your blog for review, they will notify you if you got accepted. The website says they will review your blog and notify you after 24 hours. In the case of my other blog, I waited at least 3 days, then emailed the support person through the posted email address on their website, before I got a response. Each post pays you $5 for a trial run, then it's suppose to go up from there. Since you post on your blog at least 3-4 times a week anyway, blogging for such sites as Blogtoprofit or Blogsve...

If you are an aspiring writer or someone who just likes to write, a good place to write online and get paid for it is at Associated Content . I have been a member since October 2006, but being a busy mom of two little ones I have only started writing in August of this year.

Top 10 Sites To Blog For Money
2007-09-18 16:05:00
One of the many ways for bloggers to make money online is to get paid for blogging. Here are paid blogging or paid review sites to submit your blog to make money online.1. Probably the highest-paying paid blogging site, Payperpost has lots of opportunities. Even better if your site has a high PageRank, you could actually make some very nice pocket money completing the maximum limit of 3 posts a day since higher PR blogs have access to high paying offers. Currently the highest paying offer is USD 175.00 for a post - but your blog has to have a PR6. However there are quite a lot of USD5.00 - USD15.00 offers for low traffic blogs as well.Beware though, PayPerPost has the most rules and regulations to follow such as your PPP post must be between 2 non-paid posts, and there are other advertiser requirements such as having the post title in your browser window.You have to check in frequently if you want to get the high paying posts as these get taken up very fast. After you accept an oppo...

So What Is A Blog?
2007-09-17 21:32:00
Put simply, a blog is a type of website that is usually arranged in chronological order from the most recent ?post? (or entry) at the top of the main page to the older entries towards the bottom. It is an 'online diary' covering any topic usually of interest to the writer/blogger. From photography, to spirituality, to recipes, to personal diaries to hobbies - blogging has as many applications and varieties as you can imagine.Blog s are usually (but not always) written by one person and are updated pretty regularly.If you are new to blogging and want some hints on how to get started - a very good reference is Darren Rowse's "Blogging for Beginners" tips. Join the blogosphere and explore ways to make money by blogging.A blog is virtually free to set up and easy to maintain and manage. Just use Blogger (like this blog), Wordpress, movable type, or Typepad to set up a free account and start blogging.One thing I can offer as a sort of advice is "read, research and learn".
