More money coming!

I've been working some of the PTP/PPC sites, as I've stated before. Well, I've requested payouts from some of them AGAIN!

I've requested payout again from these sites (BTW, I have NO referrals, this is just MY individual work):

5 Cent Minimum
No-Minimum
Jill's Click Corner
(NEW) Donkey Mails

My thoughts on these four....
5cent has fast timers.
no-minimum also has fast timers.
Jills has a lot of higher paying links to click.
And finally Donkey (I hear Shrek in my head! lol), also has very fast timers.

So this means I'm not spending as long of a time clicking.

If you should join More Egold, and then join the programs in there, 'specially SWFHT (start working @ Home today), there is a downline builder there for the four I've listed being paid from and a few others.

All these are FREE to join!
Its a nice, easy way to earn a little extra cash without any outlay!


Until next time!
Laurie

Working at home

OMG!

I'm a member of Web Colleagues and I've got to say that they have greatly improved the way they had things laid out! I'm still reading on all of their great ideas (with STEP BY STEP instructions!)!

I just had to let everyone know that Web Colleagues is for REAL. They will teach you how to type and get paid! If you want to work from home and you never thought you'd be able to, Web Colleagues will be able to help you get started. I've been with them for a while, but the new format is wonderful! Lots of helpful info and a lot of detail on exactly HOW to do things!

Check it out for yourself: Web Colleagues

This month's earnings...

Well, as I stated before, I got paid by Clixsense again. Now, part of the reason it took me so long is that I didn't click on any links for about 2-3 weeks! So, that is totally my fault. I'm already on my way to my third paycheck from there, so check it out. It IS definately worth it to upgrade for this program.

I've also been doing some other PPC/PTP sites:
5CentMinimum - Been paid twice to egold
No-Minimum - Been paid twice to egold
Jill's Click Corner - Been paid to egold

As usual, these are FREE to join. I don't pay for an upgraded membership unless I have to. Personally, I usually can't afford it (I don't keep much in my egold account)!

Granted, its not a lot, but its a start. I've also joined More Egold, as they have a downline builder for these three programs (and several others). I haven't been paid by them yet, but when I have been, I will post it.

This month, I've done some mystery shops for Trendsource mostly.
I have gotten paid by Shop 'N Chek for a shop I did last month. So, every little bit helps. See my previous posts for the links for Trendsource and Shop 'N Chek. IT IS ALWAYS FREE TO JOIN a mystery shop company!

Otherwise, not much else to post right now, waiting on a check from Search Big Daddy. They said it should be here Monday. If so, it will be a nice holiday present!

The Death of NetworkMarketing

Hi Again...

Laurie here...

I just got an email about Ellie Drake's and Mike Filsaime's Free Report called - "The Death of NetworkMarketing"

I will admit, like you may also be feeling now, that I thought it was some hyped up offer to get me to buy something...

...Turns out I was wrong. Way wrong.

The bottom line is, this report really opened my eyes that Network Marketing may be dying.

When I read this, I immediately thought of sharing it on my blog

The times are changing for us and it would be a shame for you or anyone to not read this report and fail like many will.

I read it, and I wanted to share it with you ASAP.

I recommend you take a break from whatever it is you are doing if you can and get access to this report now.

Consider your future success by going here now...

http://www.the-death-of-networkmarketing.com/?see-why=9022

Thanks,

Laurie

PS - Mike and Ellie say it will only be available for a few days or so, so do not delay...

Money coming!

My second Clixsense check is on the way! There can be no easy way than just clicking on links to earn some extra cash.
I've also been paid by Trendsource and GfK (twice in November) for the mystery shops I've completed.

I've also been working with Search Big Daddy during October. I should have payment from them this month. When I do have the check in my hot little hands, I'll post it.

I've been surfing with two main Traffic Exchanges recently. Mainly because they are fun. Royal Surf - go on a quest, find magic item and defeat the dragon/ogre/whatever. Very fun. Traffic Round Up - I've always enjoyed their round up the cows game. And they have good conversions for those of us free members, like me.

Did you know that you can be an affiliate of Walmart, Figi's, Omaha Steaks, just to name a few? I've just joined Linkshare, so I'll post as I make money as an affiliate.

Update on my money making.

Whew! Well, this has been a busy month!

I have been doing a lot of mystery shops. For two companies, mainly.
Trendsource : www.msishopper.net
GfK: www.cybershoppersonline.com

I also did a few shops for Shop N' Chek & CheckMark
Shop N' Chek : www.shopnchekshopper.com
CheckMark: www.checkmarkinc.com

I also had some offers from GAPbuster, but nothing close enough for me to be able to do them. Kern Scheduling is a good one for a variety of shops, so check them out too!

Again, NEVER, EVER pay to get a list of companies that do mystery shopping! You can do a search for them or you can sign up with Shadowshopper and get an idea of the different kinds of shops that are available.

Just so you know, no, I don't get any affiliate kick back for giving you this info. I don't think its necessary. If you want to do this kind of work, great! Hopefully, we won't compete for the same shops, lol!

If you can memorize a little, play-act a little, then mystery shopping is for you. I've done valet parking mystery shops, gas stations, restaurants, fast food restaurants, office supply stores, pet stores, the list is almost endless. There are bank, cell phone, mail center mystery shops even.

Not only can you do mystery shops, you can also do audits. Most of these are revealed audits (in other words, the store knows you are there). You go in, count the types of items the company wants, buy a small item (for verification that you were there) and you are done. There are also some companies that also offer display set-ups. You know, the kind you see in the grocery store, taking up room in the aisles (lol).

About the only cost you can have with mystery shopping is if you want to become MSVP certified. The reason to do this is that you will get more premium assignments. I've seen on Shadowshopper that there are CRUISES you can mystery shop. Now how cool is that??

I'm just about ready for my next check from Clixsense too. So, Xmas might be ok this year.

I should be on more as I don't have as many shops scheduled for December. I'll also let you know what else I've been promoting and why.

Tuesday, October 30, 2007

Whew!

Well, its been a crazy month or two!

The ways I've been making some money lately are:

Mystery Shopping, usually with Trendsource.

Search Big Daddy. com - Lots of ways to earn! As a City Keyword Manager, as a City Affiliate Manager, taking photos, their friends network, keywords, cloudwords, many, MANY ways to earn.

Web Colleagues - DEFINATELY a way to earn. Type and get paid. Do this NOW, you won't regret it.

I'll go into more details later this week. Have to get all the school work done with my son first!

Just a quick note...

Well, we've had thunderstorms and power outages AGAIN. Every time we get the power outages, my computer doesn't want to boot. What I've been having to do is disconnect the power cord to even GET my computer to boot. Sigh...

I will later this week, start giving my views, reviews and opinions of the sites I use. I know I'm just a small time marketer, but maybe my insights will help others.

Mystery Shopping

Yes, I am a mystery shopper. Where, exactly, I can't say, but I can tell you I do grocery stores, gas stations, fast food, pet stores, and many other things.

The first thing I want to make sure everyone understands.... YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO PAY TO BE A MYSTERY SHOPPER!


I
know there are a lot of programs out there to start mystery shopping. DON'T buy them! You don't need it! The ONLY thing that you should ever have to pay for is: the items for your shop and if you want to become MSPA certified (more on that in a sec).

I got lucky and stumbled onto Shadowshopper.com. You can join for FREE...yes, they have upgraded options, but you don't have to unless you want to. Shadowshopper has a list of employers (mystery shopper companies) and they'll also send you updates and info on jobs available.

The mystery shopper companies I work for are:
  • Trendsource, www.msishopper.net They are by far, my favorite. They pay about 2 weeks after the shop is done.
  • Shop N Chek , www.shopnchekshopper.com They are also very good, pays a month later.
  • GfK, www.cybershoppersonline.com This is the first company I started with, very detailed on instructions and they have an 800 for help (for your shop).
  • QAMS, www.qams.com I've only started working with this company in the past two months, but they also pay fast.
  • Bestmark, www.bestmark.com They pay a month later.
Trendsource and ShopNChek will allow you to direct deposit.
Gfk sends money by Paypal.
QAMS and Bestmark send checks.

There are MANY other mystery shopper companies out there. These are just a few. But remember, you NEVER should pay to become a mystery shopper.

I said I'd talk about this... MSPA, this means Mystery Shopping Providers Association. To be certified with them is of two levels, silver and gold. The prices for this is from $75-$200. Now, why would you want to spend money on this? Several reasons:
  1. If you are in Nevada, you have to register with them and you have to get a P.I.'s license.
  2. Some companies ONLY take MSPA certified people
  3. You get the higher paying jobs.
For instance...how would you like to get paid to go on a cruise? That's one way being certified can help.

Now, don't expect when you first start off, that you are going to get the big jobs. As with anything else, you need to take the easy and lower paying ones first. Here's why, you need to prove to your mystery shopper companies that you CAN do the job and do it fast and accurately. You will NOT be an employee of any of these companies, you will be an Independant Contractor. That means, that you are responsible for all of your taxes.

NO, I'm not MSPA certified and I don't make a lot of money at this. BUT, if I'm going to go get gas, for example, why not get paid for at least part of it? I can just imagine what you can earn if you ARE certified. Cruises, banks infos, lots of other things.

If you like "role-playing" (like acting) then, mystery shopping will be easy for you. If anyone wants more detailed info, leave a comment and I'll add info!

Remember, you should NEVER pay to be a mystery shopper!

Work at home

Well, my little niche doesn't produce a lot of income, but I'm still learning. A great e-book for learning what you need to know and WHY you need to know is Tracker Mo's Bootcamp.
Now why would I recommend this? For anyone that's just starting on the Internet and doesn't know what all the acronyms mean, this will explain it. For those that wonder why the advertising they are doing ISN'T producing results, this may help explain it. I've been in marketing for years, but never really had a good income from it. Tracker Mo's e-book explained WHY.

All the things I'm doing on line are to help me build my business with JD Premium Products. Why, do you ask? I happen to think that they have the friendliest staff, great support and wonderful products. The first month I got my product (which was buffalo jerky...yum!), I got THREE pieces out of two bags! My family ate the rest of it in less than 24 hours! To me, if you can USE the product you are affiliated with, then its a good product!

For me, my family and I love the jerky...and you can't get tired of it! I mean, really, 29 flavors! For us, we prefer the buffalo jerky (its hard to find!), so that's what we get.

One great thing about JD Premium Products, regardless of the amount of your commissions, you get paid. In fact, I have my check sitting right here in front of me. They also DON'T charge you a fee for the check as other companies do...so you get ALL of you commissions.

To me, this is a business that can go anywhere. Get some jerky and have people try it. If they like it, they can sign up under you. What can be easier? I really do prefer having delivered to my house and not having to go out and buy at the store.

The next in line is Leisure Audio Books. Its free to join and they have all kinds of audio books for your computer, your ipod, your MP3 player, even your Ipod phone! I'm still learning about this, but from everything I can see, they have everything to help you succeed. You can make money by having others sign up under you AND you can make money when people download the audio books. Simple and elegant.

Now, for some of the little things I'm doing to get a little cash:
I can say that Clixsense is good, upgrade and by the next month, you'll have enough to at least pay back what you put into it. As a quick side to this, my first check from Clixsense is sitting right in front of me right NOW.


Another one, if you are into the PPC (Pay-per-click) is Start Working At Home. It has a guild of all the PPC programs they are with.

A little one, that's quite fun and their forum is has a lot of great people in it is Project Payday.
They'll teach you how you can make a little bit of money by trying free offers! The only thing I can say about this is, YES, I have made money here. Not a lot, but more than I had to start with. Another thing, if you join Project Payday, DO go to the forum and read all the info there, it will help you NOT get frustrated.

One that's free to join is Take The Internet Back. It's easy and its free.

As time goes by, I'll report on how I'm doing and what I've learned NOT to do. Why should you have to make the same mistakes! lol

There's more, of course, but I'll add them later. If you have any comments or any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Heat and Power Outages.

This has just not been my week! Three times this week, we have lost power. And with temperatures over 100 degrees, this is like, UGH. Twice has been during the day, when, of course, its the hottest, around 109-114 degrees out. We just has the last one about an hour ago...middle of the night, wonderful (not)!
I wish I could afford to have a totally solar powered house. Here in Arizona, it makes sense. We seem to have nothing BUT sun! LOL

Seriously, though, I'm really fed up with this. It really doesn't help my diabetes either! I've found that heat can help give me a low sugar! Besides, who likes to sweat?

I've found 4 herbs/plants that help with diabetes:
  • Yucca
  • Prickly Pear
  • Cinnamon
  • Cayenne Pepper
With the yucca and the prickly pear, I'm not sure which part of the plant you need.
For cinnamon, have some toast with it sprinkled on, it helps regulate your sugar.
A dash of Cayenne Pepper in eggs, or spaghetti sauce will help your sugars stay level.

Anyway, this is just a quick update, I'll get to what I actually DO online soon! Promise.

Diabetics Unite!

I know, I know what a title, eh? Well, I'm an insulin-dependant diabetic and I think that there have been medical breakthroughs but the drug companies are NOT telling us about them. Why, do you ask? Because if there were a cure, they'd lose money!

I'll tell you a little about myself and my medical history. My mom was a Type 1 diabetic also. From all the information we could get from the family, it only seems to happen to the females of my mom's family. Great, just great. I can tell you from personal experience that stress can help CAUSE diabetes.

Now let's go to sugar levels. I know that when I'm stressed, my sugar levels go through the roof. All I can think of is that the adrenilin shoots to combat stress, which makes my cells release sugar to help compensate. Then of course, I get MORE stressed because my sugar is high! LOL...a never ending struggle.

Type 2 diabetes is a little different. Most people that have it, don't know it. At least for them, they can control it with diet and exercise. And maybe a few pills. That is a lot easier to take than having to take shots every day. Type 2 diabeties is the fastest growing in the US, mainly I think, because we are a "fast food" country now. How do we stop it? Well, I think that we need to learn how to make good "fast food" at home. That way, we KNOW what's in it and we can control the amount of sugar and carbs.

I also have some recipes for us diabetics, so if you are interested, let me know and I'll post them!

Anyway, for the nonce, that's it. Later, I'll talk about things I've done on line.
Until then, have a great day!
