Stop pop-ups with Stopzilla

If you aren't satisfied with the pop-up blocker that comes with your browser, maybe it's time to try STOPzilla. It's more than just a pop-up blocker. It also gives you real-time monitoring of spyware and can provide you with instant quarantine of suspected files. It's a pretty great deal at only 19.99 for a one year subscription which also gets you free customer support throughout the year. It might be the way to go if you are looking to consolidate some of those programs you already have that are detecting spyware for you!

Fun and decent payout!

I recently discovered eHow.com and have been having quite a bit of fun over there. The concept is a simple one that keeps getting more and more readers daily. Simply write an article about how to do something... anything. The site has great wizards that talk you through the simple steps of writing an eHow article. Once you've added pictures (if you choose) and perfected the article, just submit it. Wondering "e"how you would make money? You get paid per page view. Write about something seasonal and your earnings can go way up! I wrote two Halloween articles and actually didn't even promote them. The profit? $15.43! Kinda nifty for doing nothing really. Payouts are monthly via PayPal and have been extremely reliable. What's more is that after only a few articles I keep getting asked to write more for higher payouts. They keep offering me $50 to write 10 articles. Check them out and see my profile by clicking below!

Portable DVD Player

Maybe you have been like me and noticed those folks in the airport or on the bus (or whatever means of public transportation you might happen apon) using those portable DVD players? If you haven't, let me fill you in! A portable DVD player is one that is self-contained and can be taken anywhere (like the airport or on the bus... get it?). I was sent this opportunity while I was actually on a trip through several airports and thought this might be a sign. I have been thinking about investing in one recently and this just might be the time. I was really interested to find out that DigitalFramez has a best seller in their portable 10 inch DVD player. Check it out and let me know if you guys think this is a good deal or if I should even attempt the portable DVD player. I am about to start traveling quite a bit and thought it would be nice to have when I get bored!

Got Cash? PayDay Loans could help you out!

Is that blog or website taking you longer to earn a living with than you thought? Boy mine sure is! I actually used a payday loan service recently to get a cash advance. It helped upgrade the computer I was using to make money! Great in a pinch but just be sure to pay them back ontime!

Everything you need to know about a business

When I first started this venture, I was simple and naive in my concept of what I wanted to do. Write a blog and make some money. Now admittedly, I am only in the infancy of this venture as the money offers are just starting to roll in. Two things that I have definately learned to think about in the beginning: your time committment and your business. Time commitment is something that you will have to decide on personally and I am currently seeking some advice from other blogs so I can give you some hints as to how much time each type of venture could take. In order to keep a healthy blog with decent readership, I am quickly learning that you need to set aside atleast half an hour each day just for posting articles and content.

The other aspect you need to consider up front is your long term goal. Is this something that you want to do for pocket change or is making money on the internet something that you want to do as a potential business. A site that I found recently can really help you out. IncParadise.com offers free corporate forms to business and even has a service to help you fill these forms out for only $20 to $25. It's a good idea to visit this site and get some help deciding what forms, if any, you need to get yourself going as a sole propietor, partnership, or corporation. I have found that to help keep things seperated and track my earnings easier, it was beneficial to set myself up as the sole proprietor of my own business. It was quick and easy. If you need some help and would like to check out the free corportate forms that IncParadise.com has to offer, visit them today. It's better to think ahead than be catching up (trust me, I know)!

Get targeted advertisers for higher payouts!

Check out the service that DClick Ads has to offer! This is an awesome way for those bloggers who have built up a decent readership to go if you just aren't ready to handle the advertisers yourself. DClick Ads will let you sell premium ad spots in your website or blog to potential advertisers. What this allows you to do is sell targeted advertisements to advertisers who want YOUR blog or website. In theory, these advertisers will pay more money because they are seeking out your space in particular. For example, if you sign up with some other programs for advertisers, you are getting a variety of advertisers who are willing to place ads on any website or blog within a certain category. At DClick Ads, you can attract advertisers to your site specifically. And that usually means a much higher click thru rate. That means more money for you in the long run! Check them out and see if they are right for your blog or web site!

Brilliant Shopping Cart Solution!

So you have been thinking of setting up an online store and have realized there are probably a few different types of services you need to get the store up and running. What's more is that each service you need is offered by only a million different companies on the internet. How do you get the shopping cart that you need, the web hosting service, the credit card merchant account, and the perks you want all in one place? The answer has now been made simple with the all-in-one-website that gets the professional looking store you want without having to go through multiple companies.

Diet aids get paid?

Hoodia Gordonii (pronounced HOO-dee-ah), and to local South African tribes as Xhoba, Ghaap and Xhooba is a plant which looks similar to a "cactus" in the American West. Scientists over the years have that Hoodia Gordonii contain a natural botanical ability to suppress a person's appetite and promote weight loss. Thanks PayU2Blog for the opportunity!

Business growning again?

Is your home business paying off so well that you now have several people blogging for you? Then maybe you should consider some new equipment for your growing business? Maybe you need some new office furniture? Check out the bar stools available here!

Products to Blog About!

More interesting paid writing from PayU2Blog. I am trying to get my inbox caught up after a stint of the flu last week so if you would please forgive the "blast" of posts that are coming tonight! If any of you are fortunate to have vehicular transportation (a dream of mine that maybe will come true one day if this paid blogging continues to work) then check out the radar detector reviews available from Escort Radar! Now if only a company would give us all cars to drive and blog about right?

Thanks for the freebies!

When I started this venture, I never thought it would pay so decently nor that I would receive some pretty awesome products. I received some blinds the other day... for FREE! BlindsChalet was so kind to send them. In fact, there was a bit of an error when they were ordered. I was able to pick the size, color, and mounting style myself. But when they were delivered, some how (thanks FedEx) the address was off a few numbers. But the good folks over at BlindsChalet called me up to verify that everything was correct and resent the blinds! I apologize for the picture, but the rest of my apartment is just too messy right now. I will update the picture just after this weekend once everything is clean. So, if you are writing your blog and only thinking money, think of the other venues out there which can send you some pretty nifty things for free just for your honest opinion!

Advertisers knocking at your door??

If I haven't told you about all of the wonderful work available at PayU2Blog, then drop everything else you are doing and push your browser that way. The work is probably the most from any pay-you-to-blog company that I have seen. The kicker? The free stuff! That's right... free. I've gotten all sorts of things from the companies there. Blinds, shirts, dogtags just to name a few. Now if I could only get the free jewelry!

Calling all Posties!

The folks over at payperpost never cease to amaze me. I highly recommend that you get several blogs up and running for a few months then register with them. Quite simply, they have been the best money making site that I have found for payperpost blogging. One of the things that I love about using PayPerPost is that I get to keep 100% for writing on my blog. Other sites that I often use will tell you that an advertiser is paying $10 for a post about their service or company only to keep up to 50% of that amount as an administrative (rip-off) fee.

The cash adds up quick with a minimal amount of time and effort! I haven't written too many posts with PayPerPost yet but have already made over $100 using their network and referal programs. Here's the coolest part. When you submit your post, you are paid via PayPal once the post has been active for 30 days. And the advertisers that I am offered to write about are always right in keeping with the subject of this blog. No writing about hotels or insurance! Just money making (or money saving) hints and tips from some great companies!

Want to have endless cash? Here's where I have the least experience with PayPerPost but am hoping you will help my by taking ten minutes to try this out! Click the button below that says "Get Paid To Review My Post". Write a quick review of this very post and get a quick $7.50. Then, put the same button on each of your posts on your blog... you get paid for each post that your post receives! Go a step further and add a button to your side bar that attracts advertisers. Or simply refer new bloggers and make cash as well.

Simply put... register today with PayPerPost. You absolutely will love them. The extra cash it draws in for this blog is just enough to pay for my high speed internet connection each month. That's $50 a month -- or 6 hours less I have to work at my job in New Orleans. That's a nice trade off for the hour or so it takes to make the $50! Please try them out and leave some comments about the service. Or maybe you are already using them and can let other readers know what you think of them. And of course, by all means, get your quick $7.50 by clicking below and reviewing this post! Can't wait to read ya!

AuctionAds pays you $25 to sign up!

After revamping their layout and making their ads a bit more eye appealing, AuctionAds is going all out by offering a $25 credit to all new sign-ups! If you aren't familiar with them, it's super simple to use. You see the ads at the top of my blog here for AuctionAds right? Well, you pick the keywords, color, layout, etc. of the ad that you want to display on your blog or site. After you insert a bit of simple code, AuctionAds then runs auctions that are available on eBay based on your keyword selections. You get paid for sales, sign-ups, and referals! I'm giving it a try because the improved ads look like a winner to me. Try them out and let me know what you think!

Freebie Classified Ads!

Have a few things lying around the house that you want to get rid of? Maybe you want to find that certain something in your area that you have been looking for. Check out a new site called PostaClassifieds.com. It's new so finding listings in your area might take a bit but I always find that these newer sites are the best places to find awesome deals. It seems that the other freebie classified listing sites tend to drive the prices of the items offered up just by the sheer number of viewers that they tend to get. Check them out and get rid of some of that old stuff you have laying around (and find some new stuff while you are at it)!

Alzheimer's Walk coming to your neck of the woods!

Memory Walk

It is very rare that blogger's get the opportunity to blog about something that makes a difference and get paid for it. Yes, admittedly this is a paid blog entry but I felt the topic was definitely worth the few minutes it would take to write an entry about it. The Alzheimer's Association is bringing the Memory Walk to an area near you and needs some Team Captains. Signing up is super easy and raising money is easy.

I participated in a "virtual walk" post-Katrina when our HIV agency had their walk postponed. I never realized how simple it would be to raise a quick $500 just by using the tools on the website. Even if you don't want to walk for the Memory Walk this year (although ours is being held in late November -- no excuses for me since the weather will be awesome) it is still possible to do your part to help research for Alzheimer's by signing up to be a Team Captain on the website. Once you have set your team goals, just send a quick letter out to all of your email contacts. You will be surprised how quickly you can get sponsors, especially when Alzheimer's has touched so many people out there. The Alzheimer's Association even has a way for you to win a trip to Las Vegas if you participate. Just check out the site for more details. I know I will be starting my team in just a few minutes. It would be nice if Team Captains kept each other up to date by adding some comments to this entry. Hmmm... maybe a bit of healthy competition?

Join the cause guys. It's not about the money I get paid to write this. It's because it is a very real possibility this will someday affect each of us. Guess where the money I get from writing this entry will go? My team of course. Now I just need a team name!

Office furniture

I am almost to the point of needing to expand my small tower desk and make some room for myself to keep organized. This is the biggest lesson I have had to learn as I continue to grow this blog and my at home business. I cannot stress enough how important it is to keep organized. I advise not doing as I did and be reactive. Be proactive and get your office furniture and office organization tools right from the beginning. You will save yourself lots of trouble and make things tons easier on you from the beginning!

Need ideas for content?

I recently read another post (and for the life of me I cannot remember where... probably DoshDosh) about where to get ideas for post topics and thought I would pass it on. Not only has it given me some recent ideas for article content but it has driven me to find a new site or two. Check out Google Alerts. You can set up an alert on your topic of choice and have Google email you the results! For example, I programed in "paid to post" and when Google gets pages with that search term in them, I get an email (actually lots) with a link to the post as well as a bit of the text to help weed out what I don't want to look at. It's a great way to keep up on the latest topics (especially for tech blogs and the such). Try setting up an alert today and see what you can come up with!
