I'd really like to work from home soon. My husband found a new job and unfortunately, it is not really close from home. I found a site, homewiththekids.com, and I love that site. It has great information for parents who want to stay and work from home. Check it out. You'll be amazed at how much information she (the site owner) has in there.

I really believe that employees at most retail stores are there not to provide goods and services to their customers, but to provide a job and benefit for their employees. They do not seem to get much fulfillment out of their jobs, rather they have a glossed over look in their eyes like they know they are stuck. It is to the point where I dread going shopping at any major chain or big box store.

Anymore, I think that I want to start searching online for product fulfillment. There are bright entrepreneurs out there taking advantage of warehousing services to keep their own costs down, and it seems the days of going to a store to get your products are coming to a slow, and online retailers are coming of age. Some days I really wish I would have continued to develop my own online business.

Not only do these new outlets offer product fulfillment, they also offer order fulfillment. I am not sure what that means, but I bet if you get an order and send it to them they will make sure it is processed in a timely manner. Yes… people are really having less and less reason to leave their homes. Now only if I could find one of those lucrative stay at home opportunities.

I remember a while back my husband had a couple e-trade IRA Accounts. He had a lot of fun with them conducting online trades and just really playing around. When we moved in to the new house, he cashed them all out so that we could build a fence and landscape a back yard. He figured he better cash the accounts out before they had a zero balance anyway. The way the markets were going he probably made a good choice, so it seemed at the time.

I know that he misses his Online Trading days. He would love to watch stocks for a few weeks at a time, and then buy a stock at a low point. He was pretty good at gauging a stocks ebb and flow, but he has ADD and quickly became disinterested. As our funds free up down the road I am hoping he will once again return to a bit of on-line trading.

If he does, I think I will have to recommend he go through an Online Broker though; perhaps one that has a bit more help available to him as an investor. He likes to do things on his own, but as he figures things out he will need someone to talk to. That is something that was hard to come by with e-trade, but I know there are other options out there now.

Yes! The Amazon merchant received the books I sent to them and they deposited the gift card to my Amazon account. I am so happy. I wonder if I can sell more books. I have to find more books to sell and hopefully get more money. I can save the gift card for now. Maybe, I will buy clothes for the kids. We shall see.

There was a time when I was checking out online Wholesale Suppliers for a little side business I wanted to start. I love purses and handbags and really wanted to sell handbags via a technique called drop shipping. No need for a warehouse to store things, essentially I would have just been a middleman for the Wholesalers.

Surprisingly, a wide range of Wholesale Products are sold through this type of marketing. Entrepreneurs like me set up an online store and market their products. When orders come in, they get paid what they want, and the online vendor gets to earn a small profit. It really is a cool way to earn a bit of extra income and both the marketer and the wholesaler end up winning out.

That seems like a long time ago. I think my husband was supportive of my efforts, but sometime it is hard to tell with him. I know he is always leery of get rich quick schemes, but this was an honest business. Now that we are needing extra income, I am sure the both of us wish I would have spent a bit more time trying to sell not only hand bags, but the other Wholesale Products that can be sold via a middleman.

I recently found a website that gives you cash back while you shop online. It is a loyalty rewards program where it is supposed to be simple and fun. This website is called Loyalese.

The owner of this website appears to be an affiliate of certain companies like Walmart, GAP, Macys, and maybe more and then share the commissions to the Loyalese members who has done their shopping through the site. I have not made my tour yet because I did not get a chance to register. If you are a member already, can you tell me more about this site? It would be nice to know because I am a huge fan of the ease of online shopping.

They have a Loyalese Facebook fan page as well. I better check that out and see what information I can find. Have a great Friday everyone and have a wonderful weekend.

I was trying hard to earn money online so I joined a website called Amazon Mechanical Turk. It is a decent site that pays you to complete simple tasks like taking surveys, answer multiple choices for some school research, choose the best picture in the group for a photography site, etc. The tasks are called hits. The payment I had for each hit was between $.05 to $2.50. I did that for quiet some time and I earned more or less $40. I was pretty happy until I got a notification from Sprint Network.

I was not sure how or what happened but I received a text message stating that somebody was trying to change the information of my Sprint account online. The text message was asking me if I authorized the change. I was confused because I had not touched that account for years. I called Sprint and asked them what was going on and they said that somebody changed my address from Colorado to Atlanta, Georgia. I was shocked because I have never been to Atlanta. I told them to close my account online as soon as possible. Weeks later, I got a text message again stating that somebody was trying to add a line in my account and ordered a new cell phone. I called Sprint again and they confirmed. Again, a person from Atlanta tried to do it. Sprint was able to stop the transaction but I was still upset because somebody was able to get in my account even though I told them (Sprint) to close it.

Later I realized that while working as an Amazon Mechanical Turker, I gave out my phone number (maybe) and the network I was with. (Shame on me!!!) That person probably figured out how to use that simple information to get my pin to sign in online. Some hits in the Amazon Mechanical Turk actually asked for the IP Address as well. I am glad I never gave that out. I found out recently that some hackers can actually access your computer remotely with just your IP address. I learned that from the movie on Lifetime.

So friends...never give those information out to anyone. I learned my lesson. $40 is not worth it.

Do you have some interview skills and techniques?

I am not going into an interview. I hope not in years. I just want to share my experience with you. A lot of people lost their jobs and so there are a lot of competitions in the market. It is hard to land a job these days.

Whilst I was looking for a new job 3 years ago, I was also researching about how to prepare for an interview. An interview is very crucial. That is how the potential employer knows how sincere you are for the job. So, I read for tips, possible questions and better answers for the questions. I made notes and studied.

On the day of the interview, I was nervous but confident. I let them know that I was really interested. I was all smile and very positive. When she asked me questions, I was speaking naturally and from the heart. I also made sure I spoke to her with eye-to-eye contact. She then offered me the job and explained to me the benefits of being their employee. It was one of the best moments for me. I was so thrilled.

I do not interview candidates nor do I have a great interviewing guide but I just want to share the things I experienced. What is your field? Research, find it, study, prepare and you'll succeed.

While I was scanning through my mail Thursday night, I saw the word "FREE" from the corner of my eye. I guess it was just my human instinct to see what the "free" was about, so I turned and picked the mail up. It said "Free MP3 Player" for the first 50 callers to book the seminar with the Online Trading guru. Still curious (because that's me), I opened the booklet and read what they had to offer. It said, there is no fee to pay and this is once in a lifetime.

I hear a lot of those promises on TV. The so-called Millionaire guru is going to guide you to financial freedom. Call the 1-800 number and change your life now. The master is going to help you step-by-step for you to earn money fast and you can work full time or part time anywhere you want or at home with your family. Don't waste your time, call now. Do they sound familiar to you? I hear those a lot because I sleep late most of the time. They usually come on at 10PM or later. It sounds too good to be true but I still give them a chance so I listen. I am glad I didn't fall into the hole though because after I read the reviews online, all I see are unhappy campers.

I don't want to tell you that all of them are scams. I think some people out there are really successful. Maybe they are just lucky or really really good. Some write articles or use Google Adwords to promote the products for commissions, some blog for Google Adsense and some do trade online successfully with the help of an Online Broker.

I opened that free seminar booklet and read it again. I thought maybe I should go and listen to what they have to say because I really want to earn extra money online. The seminar is all about Stock Trading though and I am not so sure if I am really interested in this field. So, I decided to toss it to the trash. Do you really make lots of profits with that? I was unsure so I just did not waste my time with it.

I know this is too late but it is better to be late than not posting it at all. I was paid by Blogsvertise for my hardwork and I could not be happier. My first payment was $39.00. I used some of the money to pay for my son's cute rolling back pack. I could not have bought it without the extra money I got from them. They were late in sending the payment but it was okay. They paid me maybe 7 days later.





Below is the proof of the payment they sent to me.

I just joined Adgitize as a publisher. I still am not sure if it is worth the time but I will try it for a month. I hope the Adgitize apps won't distract my visitors or get the loading time of my blog pages painful.

Based on their FAQ, the more you click other blogs and the more you update your own blog, the more points you get. The points are then converted into cash. I hope it works.

Yes, I am sick. I got this headache and a runny nose. Yikes! I am just trying to entertain myself by reading some weird news like Jessica Simpson Breast Implants or watching some videos at pinoy 24 tv. I know, I am lame sometimes. I just visit sites just because. I just click and click and not even thinking until I spend my whole day in front of the computer.

My kids are asleep so it is really quite. All I can hear right now is the keyboard tapping while I am typing my post. I wish I knew something that could help me earn money online while bored. I know that blogging helps me with that but I want something that is more stable to help us with other bills.

I heard stuff like adsense revenue sharing. Do you really make money with that? What website pays you? How much do you earn a month? I read make money online articles a lot but they just have you buy stuff but don't know if they work.

I was actually searching in Ebay last night for an established site for sale that gives a passive income. They were some cheap ones but I still don't know if I should trust them or if I should spend my money for something that I am not sure about.

Well...I guess I have to go and take some rest. I still have to work tomorrow.

I love getting extra bucks from this blog. I love knowing that I have some pending extra cash to withdraw. I love telling my husband that I have money to pay for my make-up or new clothes or shoes. Because of those reasons, I went back to writing again with my other blog. I ignored it for two months because I got lazy. That was a huge mistake.

Well, here is my other blog: The Sweet Science of Life.

Do you have a small business? Are you interested in web hosting?

I really want to have a small online business of my own. I was just searching about web hosting and I got stuck with the word colocation.

What the h_ck is colocation? Sorry about that. Where I grew up, the word sounds really funny. So I went to my good friend Google. It said that Colocation is when a hosting service provider provides the housing and internet backbone, and the client provides the physical server. Okay, now it makes sense.

I also read about managed hosting. Very interesting, indeed. It would be nice to know what I should sell online soon. Until now, I don't have any idea. I am stuck again. Shouldn't I be thinking about that first before anything else? Okay, I admit. Like I said, I have no focus right now (read previous post).

How do I make money online at home?

I really wonder what I could do to make money online so I can just stay at home with my kids. I mean blogging is good because I can earn some extra bucks but it is not enough for me to completely quit my job. With this unemployment rising, it is not wise for me to just leave my job. I am one of those lucky people who still have the job. I am not going to waste that opportunity.

I know some people own multiple blogs and they earn money that way through Adsense. Is it really worth it? I am not sure how they spend their time with their hundreds of blogs. I've heard about unlimited web hosting so having multiple blog sites is probably not a problem. My only question is how do they divide their time to maintain their blogs.

I have kids to take care of and pay attention to so having multiple blogs is probably not a good idea. I can't even pay that much attention to this blog anymore. I post as much as I can but not as much as I used to.

I have some Facebook friends who have businesses online and I still have not gotten a chance to ask them what their businesses are. Hhmmmppp...I hope they'll share their secrets with me.

Do you have a successful business online that you'd like to share with me?

Wow...Squidoo deposited some money to my Paypal so I was really surprised. The lens that I made last year made me some money. I completely forgot about it until today when I saw the company Squidoo that sent it.

I know that a lot of people are really successful with Squidoo. I learned it from the Bum Marketing lessons. I heard that some of them earn at least $250 from just one lens once a month. If you are really good with keywords and stuff then it will be more. If you write more than one lens, then you get the idea. You'll have lots of monies.

If you don't know what Squidoo is about, maybe you should read some of Pot Pie Girl's post @ http://www.potpiegirl.com. I like her tutorials.

I guess I need to write more lenses.

Here is my Lens that made me money http://www.squidoo.com/eczemacreamforbabies. If you are a good writer, go ahead and register.

Do you use twitter at all? I do but not so crazy about it. I don't tweet every move I make like celebs. I just tweet when I want to share something to other tweeters. I have 934 followers to date. They grow everyday slowly.

Can you earn money using twitter? Definitely. You can use twitter by sharing your affiliate links or maybe sign up to websites that pay you to tweet. One website that I know of is Sponsoredtweets.com. They pay to your Paypal account and it is so easy to use.

I am not really an active Amazon associate. I never got serious about being an affiliate. However, I got this email today and it caught my eyes.

Here it goes:

-------------------------------------
Dear Colorado-based Amazon Associate:

We are writing from the Amazon Associates Program to inform you that the Colorado government recently enacted a law to impose sales tax regulations on online retailers. The regulations are burdensome and no other state has similar rules. The new regulations do not require online retailers to collect sales tax. Instead, they are clearly intended to increase the compliance burden to a point where online retailers will be induced to "voluntarily" collect Colorado sales tax -- a course we won't take.

We and many others strongly opposed this legislation, known as HB 10-1193, but it was enacted anyway. Regrettably, as a result of the new law, we have decided to stop advertising through Associates based in Colorado. We plan to continue to sell to Colorado residents, however, and will advertise through other channels, including through Associates based in other states.

There is a right way for Colorado to pursue its revenue goals, but this new law is a wrong way. As we repeatedly communicated to Colorado legislators, including those who sponsored and supported the new law, we are not opposed to collecting sales tax within a constitutionally-permissible system applied even-handedly. The US Supreme Court has defined what would be constitutional, and if Colorado would repeal the current law or follow the constitutional approach to collection, we would welcome the opportunity to reinstate Colorado-based Associates.

You may express your views of Colorado's new law to members of the General Assembly and to Governor Ritter , who signed the bill.

Your Associates account has been closed as of March 8, 2010, and we will no longer pay advertising fees for customers you refer to Amazon.com after that date. Please be assured that all qualifying advertising fees earned prior to March 8, 2010, will be processed and paid in accordance with our regular payment schedule. Based on your account closure date of March 8, any final payments will be paid by May 31, 2010.

We have enjoyed working with you and other Colorado-based participants in the Amazon Associates Program, and wish you all the best in your future.


Best Regards,

The Amazon Associates Team

I am not really worried about it because I did not make money from being an Amazon affiliate. I just did not have time for it. I am just wondering about other people out there who are active Associates and are making serious money from Amazon. What are they going to do? It sucks that they (our lawmakers) passed this law.

Yes I am. I am twittering now just like anybody else. You can follow me here.
