Affiliate Business

2009-02-22T15:00:00.002-07:00

Time has come to present the brand new Affiliate Business lens. It basically asks if you really know what affiliate marketing and the affiliate business is all about. I had fun writing it and got to touch on the many different online money making ideas and schemes I have come across in the past couple years.

So, the question that is begging to be asked is this: Do you know what the affiliate business is? If not visit the lens or visit our AffiliateNuts.com site and learn all about the affiliate business.

Wordpress SEO Theme

2009-02-16T15:51:00.004-07:00

I have been a busy little bee the past few days trying to get our Wordpress SEO Theme posted online so I could share it with others. I figured the easiest way to do it was open up a mailing list at Aweber and sending it out to people as they join, that way it is sent straight to their email.

The theme is completely free and allows you to change the header picture as well as post adsense directly below it.

If you want the Wordpress SEO Theme, visit our Wordpress SEO Theme webpage on Affiliate Nuts.

Affiliate Marketing Companies

2009-01-25T16:38:00.003-07:00

I do a lot of work with Affiliate Marketing Companies so I was not surprised when I received a question about how to choose an honest company to affiliate for. There are hundreds of different affiliate marketing companies to choose from and you can sell a variety items.

Unlike "real world selling" with affiliate marketing, you do not have to keep any inventory in stock. The product is in fact ordered directly from the merchant's site so you do not have to pay for anything. All you do is receive your commission cheques. lol Ok, so add in a whole lot of effort and that's about right.

When I look for a product to promote, I always check their affiliate resources. I do not want to have to promote an item that does not have a nice sales page, that does not have professionally made banners and graphics for marketing efforts.

Converting Traffic

2009-01-05T18:53:00.003-07:00

Recently on Twitter I was asked about Converting Traffic. Not just converting traffic, but what to do if your site is not selling your products like you think it should be. Or maybe you are having troubles getting people to sign up to your opt in list. There could many different reasons for converting traffic, but we all want the same thing RESULTS.

In my newest squidoo lens I discuss a few different ways to optimize your site to make sure you are capturing all your leads. It could be just changing the opt in form from the top right corner to the mid left side of your web page, but there are ways to test this and monitor it.

Learn more reading my Squidoo Lens titled Converting Traffic.

Squidoo eBook - Do you need one?

2009-01-03T15:36:00.002-07:00

I recently wrote a lens titled Squidoo Ebook. The purpose is to discuss whether a person should purchase a Squidoo eBook or not. If you want to skip the entire lens, I will spoil the surprise by saying that you do not need something that teaches you just how to use Squidoo... You need to learn how to use Squidoo as a tool.

Visit the Squidoo eBook lens today.

See, I promised to update this blog a little more often. =D

What is Affiliate Marketing?

2008-12-30T21:20:00.003-07:00

Want to learn exactly what is affiliate marketing? I have been emailed many times in the past few months with that exact question... What is affiliate marketing?

I decided to create a Squidoo Lens dedicated to it. The wonderful thing about posting on Squidoo is that it gets indexed very quickly with a huge PR boost. Plus by blogging about it on sites like my personal blog here, it gives it even more of a boost.

Dale and I are in the middle of creating our main website to help Affiliate Marketers both new and experienced marketers. So until that site is up, I'm going to continue to keep building my Squidoo profile with SEO perfected articles with keyword density that insures I receive many keyword targeted site visitors to the lenses.

So, ya, go visit my What is Affiliate Marketing lens. lol

Wealthy Affiliate Discount

2008-12-13T21:31:00.004-07:00

Hey Folks,

It is official that this blog needs a giant revamp. I have quit almost everything on this site and now just do my affiliate marketing. But I know I can still keep this blog so I will just abuse it when I have an extra minute to post or when I need a backlink for a site. I mean, why not? I have had this blog for a year and a half now so it has some great history and stuff gets indexed quickly.

Anyway, a place that I always need backlinks for my sites is on Squidoo. I recently created one about the Wealthy Affiliate Discount that needs indexed ($10 off your membership if you are wondering). Also, I have my new pride and joy. In fact, this jpetals Squidoo lens is likely the place I spend the most time online updating. I have included everything that has helped make me successful for free. Anyway, I really dig it. lol

Also, if you use Twitter, visit my Twittering lens and add your Twitter URL and follow some new friends. Over 50 Twitter IDs added already.

Peace
Jodie

Don't sell yourself short

2008-10-05T08:25:00.002-06:00

Too many times I'm asked how you know which program you will make money with or which site to join. Now isn't that a loaded question when I am trying to promote programs? LOL But this is my suggestion...

- Look for proof of payment and make sure it is something legitimate. Proof of payments can be photo-shopped and cropped to allow the person to be "paid" a heck of a lot more than anyone else would ever earn.

- Use commons sense. If someone is using a PTC or paid to click site and are making hundreds each month then there are three reasons for this. 1. They have been doing it a long time. 2. They bought their referrals. 3. They are lying.

- Ask a reliable source. Many times people are recruiting you for their program and should be willing to share info on the program and share some tips. If you know them from a social site, you will know their history.

- Use common sense. Wait... there's an echo in here. LOL I just really want to stress that if something promises the moon, you will likely only receive some dirt.

I have really cleaned up my blog for readers because I want people to truly know what will pay them. Almost every blog I come to has a giant list of sites that people are hoping to be paid by, but very few will actually ever reach payment and this only makes the person recommending them look like they are not educated on their own programs.

Happy October!

Updated Earnings & New Mailing List

2008-09-24T13:46:00.002-06:00

Today is the day I hop off the lazy blogging horse and get started on sprucing this place up a bit. At the moment I'm writing this post, I have not updated my earnings, but I will work on it and have it up likely by the time you are reading this. I'm thinking I'd be close to the $3000 mark, but we'll soon see.

I've been developing a few new sites and am pleased to say that after one day the first site received 100 hits.

This is the new mailing list I've created with my partner. It's full of tips for getting you traffic to your websites.

Cheers!! Off to start doing some editing.

I've been a naughty blogger

2008-09-21T14:48:00.004-06:00

Yes, I have been. I have not been spending anytime on here because of the evil google doers. Blah! Maybe I should just get over it and keep on posting. I have been spending my time still surfing on Traffic Era a bit, but mostly doing Wealthy Affiliate and making commission on various products.

In my opinion, this is much easier than finding referrals. I suppose to, that this contributes to my lack of posts. Most of the traffic I get is geared towards joining free sites, and although selling is free, some of the tools I use are not. So, I teamed up with a friend online and made some information available for free so you can check out some of the real nifty stuff.

Click here to see the site.

Skip all the way to the bottom to sign up to the newsletter and get all the free stuff.

As always, I will try and be more diligent about posting. Sorry to be such a bore lately.

Another PTC is Down

2008-08-22T08:42:00.004-06:00

Subscribe to my blog via email here.

Well, I think it's official. Almost ever PTC site out there is a scam. I don't think they are purposely a scam, but they never set up for success... They do not look two months down the road and figure out the consequences of their actions. I truly believe they are not meant to be business people. They should have a 1 year plan so they know how their finances will shape up with or without success.

They are a business, and they are rarely treated like one and end up disappointing many many members. There are a few that continue to pay and the only one I support fully is now Hits4Pay. Friends of mine have been having success with Neobux and Isabelamarco (I don't know if I spelled those correctly), but I will not be joining anymore PTC sites.

After being in this industry for over a year and joining over 40 PTC sites, I am done with them. Only three have paid me and one has had to stop paying, the other is Bux.to and they take six months to pay.

I will stay with Hits4Pay though. They do not have many ads, but they pay you well for the ones you watch, they pay you down two levels and THEY PAY ON TIME!!! :)

Google hates me

2008-08-16T01:10:00.002-06:00

I have been struggling with google lately. First off, I lost my adsense account, that is why you know longer see google ads on here. Oh well, I was not earning much, but now that I'm learning how to earn with Adsense, I wish I still had it. This happened to many of us all at the same time.

Then I was locked out of my gmail accounts for a few days. There was little info to find online and no one to contact. Eventually, I could just log in again. I find out that this is also going around to some of my friends.

Lastly, my blog used to have a PR3 and was forecasted to become a PR4 but then google banned me because I was linked to some bad apples. I have no idea who it was, but a few of the sites and blogs I was linked with were banned. So I am now in the process of going through all the links to do this. What a pain... arg! I don't even know if I'll ever get back, but I enter my site in google and you can find it, so I think they may be waiting to see if I fix it.

There is some big stuff coming up with Wealthy Affiliate and I will post more. Tues is a great day!

Miss you blog

2008-08-08T00:01:00.002-06:00

Hi Blog,

I've been meaning to stop by lately. I've been really busy with a lot of real life and online stuff. I promise I will be back soon.

Also, someone posted in the ShoutBox about google banning me at the moment. Apparently I'm linked to something that isn't good... need to figure this out so I can get my blog back into the search engines. Also, gmail locked me out of all my gmail accounts for a day and a half. I have no idea why and they never told me, they just did it. :(

I'm thinking of checking out ehow.com and seeing if it is good at helping with SEO (search engine optimization). I'm too lazy to do anything else tonight. It's just after midnight and the thunder keeps waking the kiddos up.

Good night blog, hopefully I'll see you tomorrow.

Wealthy Affiliate

2008-07-24T15:09:00.011-06:00

Have you heard of this program? Is it just another internet buzz word? HECK NO!!! I have been earning online for one year now, and although I have had success, I feel I can achieve even more.

It's almost as if I have picked up bits here and pieces there, but there has been nothing to throw it all together.... That was until I found the Wealthy Affiliate.

They help you learn how to properly affiliate market. They have courses for you to complete, an 8 week training program and a forum that the owners actually use and help you out on.

Are you a Squidoo fan? I completed their Squidoo course in about 10 minutes and learned valuable information that even Squidoo doesn't have posted on their own site. They explain how toe get the most traffic to your lens and how to leverage that into sales and cash. I'm thinking that I may start posting a daily tip to help you out, but it's not even close to what I have learned in only the past 24 hours.

Wealthy Affiliate is not cheap. Well, I guess that all depends on what you consider cheap. Monthly fee is $40. To me, that is cheap for the resources they have available. Where else in the world could you start a business for $40 a month? Too many times people want something for free, but often times, what you are left with is something that is worth nothing.

Make an investment in your future and online business career. Start earning the smart way. And for what it's worth, the earning is not in me recommending you to the Wealthy Affiliate, like so many other online programs. I make money using what they teach me.

Free Traffic Offer Is Over

2008-07-24T14:30:00.002-06:00

I'm afraid I can no longer continue to offer free traffic on Traffic Era. I appreciate all of those that joined up and participated! :)

Many Thanks!

Want Free Traffic For Any Site?

2008-07-20T18:39:00.008-06:00

I have been very fortunate online and I think it's time to "pay back" to those that read my blog. There is a traffic exchange that I am currently use and LOVE!! It really does provide me all the traffic I could ever want. In fact, I'm thinking of selling some advertising for people, but that's for another post.

What I am doing is offering anyone that joins using this link or any Traffic Era link on this page, I will personally make sure that you are given at least 305 PV or personal value each week. This is not something that is free for me. I take your referral link and use it in various traffic exchanges to insure this. But I don't mind doing it for people who are really interested in earning online. You use the credits you earn on there to advertise for any program you like online. You can send the traffic to whichever site you desire.

This is the same website that I explained the team concept and it being a great platform for networking as well as making surfing fun. I love my team and hope I continue to perform and stay there.

If you do decide to use traffic exchanges, you may want to consider creating splash pages so you can add your brand or name to every page. I use Splash Page Maker and love it. It is the easiest one I have used. I decided to upgrade and pay for a full 6 months upfront. It is a service I will always use, as I plan to use splash pages for the various advertising packages I will create for people (again, more on that in the future). Click here to visit Splash Page Maker and learn more about the importance of Splash Pages.

Here are a few of the Splash Pages I made with Splash Page Maker.

the Berry Tree, GDI and Splash Page Maker.

If you would like to claim your free credits to Traffic Era, please click here. I will know you joined, so you do not have to email me to claim your credits, they will automatically be distributed throughout each week.

Multi Level Marketing

2008-07-18T21:14:00.006-06:00

I think we all have a good idea of what Multi Level Marketing or MLM is and if you are reading this and don't, I would use wikipedia for a good definiton. MLM has been around for centuries. It's one of the easiest ways to start a home business. Most MLM companies make it an affordable amount so anyone can join. Remember, with MLM it is not the product you are investing in, but more the chance to earn money. Instead of joining a MLM, you could pay the same monthly fee to a bank and I bet at the end of the year, you will have made more via the MLM than the bank you were "saving" it in.

If you have access to a computer, if you have real life friends that have an extra $10 a month, if you are willing to learn, then you can be earning with MLM online.

The best part about MLM is that there are different opportunities for each person's comfort level of spending. I have diversified so as not to discourage people from joining. I use a program that costs about $10 a month and another is $60. Now, don't get me wrong. The products of the companies are usually excellent products, but that should not be your only focus or motivation.

The two sites I recommend after great research are GDI and the Berry Tree. Both are about 7 years old and have been in the industry and hit all their growing curves already. They have proven systems that pay many individuals monthly. I won't break down the individual programs much, but rather post a small synopsis of each.

GDI - $10 monthly - $1 for each referral you refer (and your referrals referral's, etc, etc) - I refer people for you as well.

The Berry Tree - $60 monthly - $ per month varies per each situation (length of time in program counts to your benefit)- Earn without referring 1 person (guaranteed!!)

Consider the opportunity and the help you would receive as my referral. I would help guide you and develop your business. To join either program click GDI or BerryTree . If you want more info, you can click those links and a video will play to describe the programs better.

What is $10 a month really? Don't limit your online earning potential.

Two New Payments; Gomez and Bux.to

2008-07-10T10:15:00.004-06:00

I have been away on holidays so I have not updated the blog in the past week, but I was pleasantly surprised to return to two new payments.

The first payment was from Gomez for $13.27. This is a site where you are paid for simply being online. The company tests the speed of internet connections throughout the world and use your PC to test various sites from your connection. This is the third time I have received payment from them. My computer runs just as smoothly with this program running, so I'm quite pleased at taking money for letting them do this.

The next payment I received was for $10.04 from Bux.to. I have to admit that I had thought I would never see this money. I requested this payment back on January 15th and never for a minute did I think I would receive payment 6 months later. BUT, I will certainly smile and accept it and request another cashout. If you look to the left of my blog, you will see how much I have earned on Bux.to. If you have patience and are looking for a new PTC site, this one does pay and you can quickly add up the clicks. You receive a penny for each click and are also rewarded if your referrals do the same.

SwatCash Payment of $335.03 and Some Marketing Tips

2008-06-29T20:17:00.006-06:00

SwatCash paid me again. This month my payment was $335.03. I have been a member of this site for almost a year and month after month the site continues to deliver.

The ways to earn vary, with the most lucrative being the offers they have. You can also to PTC or paid to click at 1 cent per click. Payment is every month around the 15th of the month via PayPal or Cheque.

Since most of you know about the benefits of the site, I will make a suggestion for promoting. Of course you could use GetRef, but you may want to try something as simple as adding it as your favourite on Free Money Team. Another suggestion is to respond to questions on Yahoo Answers, but make sure you are answering a question. There is a great chance that you will have your account deleted, but I have been fortunate enough to create a few after one was deleted. Many other people have found great referral success after creating a YouTube video and posting it. I have to admit that some of those videos are very convincing. Think outside the box!

Most importantly, if you aren't sure how to use these tips, just ask me. Email me or add a comment, I am very active when people need my help. Or join the mailing list so you receive more tips like those included in this blog post.

X3Bux.com

2008-06-24T19:48:00.005-06:00

Strange for me to post twice in one day, but I have had a couple different items to discuss.

Today, a friend on myLot.com referred me to X3Bux.com. Now, I have slowed down on many of my PTC sites or paid to click sites, but I'm always looking for new ways to earn. He explained that they do show adult content (note- I am wording this in a polite way, it is very X rated, perhaps porn would be a better word). When I joined, the site had 10 ads for 2 cents a click each. Sign up bonus is $1 and they offer different incentives to purchase memberships to pornographic websites.

Although this is not something that I'm personally interested in, I can certainly see that there would reside a large market for this type of site. And frankly, I can click it and ignore it like I do most of my other PTC sites anyway. LOL

Payout on X3Bux.com is at $3 via AlertPay and you can purchase a premium membership for $4.99 a month or $35 for the year. This awards you many more bonuses if your referrals are active. And they also have attractive referral packages, even being as specific as purchasing upgraded members only.

To join X3Bux.com, please click here.

I won 1000 credits on Lords of Traffic

2008-06-24T07:42:00.004-06:00

I have really hit the traffic exchanges hard in the past few weeks and I am happy I have. I have aligned myself with a wonderful team on Traffic Era and not only am I reaping rewards in the number of credits I earn weekly from the team, but I have also met some wonderful people. Some of them own different websites. For instance, Shaun that runs Nocturnal Emails is on my team. It is a wonderful way to network and meet other people in the industry.

I am also on a team on Lords of Traffic and we are currently looking for some new members to join. We only have 15 people and we are already in third place for team standings.

Which brings me to my next story. I won 1000 credits on Lords of Traffic yesterday. I won the jackpot!! Now, let me put this into perspective, each time you surf you are awarded less than .5 credits. So to find a jackpot of 1000 credits is amazing!!!

To join any of the sites mentioned, just click on their name, it will take you straight to the site to join up. If you want to become a member of the team for Lords of Traffic, please leave a comment so I know how to get back to you. I will pass your name along to our team captain.

Hover Traffic Sites

2008-06-18T21:35:00.005-06:00

There is a new trend emerging in the Traffic Site world. If you are unfamiliar with traffic sites they can be used to drive traffic to different sites. They are great for bumping your Alexa rating if you are a blogger (But do not do this if you have adsense, use BidVertiser. You can also use Traffic Sites to display programs you are trying to promote or drive traffic to a page that would bring you money for views. Many people also create splash pages and use these in traffic exchanges because they catch a viewers eye.

Most of these sites require you to click after the specific time has elapsed (10 seconds for example). You may have to click on a number or icon to confirm you did in fact view the website. However, there are new sites that now allow you to simply put your mouse over the a box to confirm you viewed the site. It makes surfing that much faster!

I have only joined one site that currently has this feature. It is called Lords Of Traffic. Other great features of this site include that the site takes a long time to log you out for idleness. They provide clicking contests as well as a team competition that is currently in beta.

Another Proof Of Payment

2008-06-16T08:22:00.006-06:00

It is with a huge smile that I show you my first payment from the Free Online Cash System. I received a payment for $154.12 on Friday the 13th (Do you believe 13 is my lucky number? LOL). I requested the payment only a week and a half before I received it. All I had to do to receive the money was have one referral complete the program. That is $150 simply for having one person complete the program.

I also have another $100 to be paid to me and another $600 that will be paid once those referrals complete the program.

Unlike any other MLM or GPT online, you are paid VERY well for the same amount of work as usual. But, you never pay a penny out of pocket. You have all the training and marketing resources as well and 100% support from me.

I'm currently working on a forum with all the materials I use to market the program so that all my referrals will have the info at their fingers tips. This is how dedicated I am to this program and ensuring the success of everyone I can.

To join the Free Online Cash System, just visit this website Free Online Cash System and enter your info. In return, you will receive an email from me asking for an email that says "I Qualify", once I receive that we can get you started to making your own $150 payments.

Are You Looking For An Affordable Domain and Hosting Service?

2008-06-08T12:45:00.007-06:00

I recently joined GDI or Global Domains International. This website offers a domain name and hosting to you for only $10 a month, also, they give you all the tools required to build your website. Some people use it to host their blog, some use it to have a domain name that can be forwarded to an existing site, or referral link. Some people use it to construct their online business. One of the most important things to note is the Live Technical Support!

I wanted a professional domain name to promote the Free Online Cash System, so I chose the domain name www.freeonlinecash.ws . I think it is perfect for the opportunity.

The real bonus is that I joined a downlinebuilder GDI club. So my upline helps build my downline and I do the same for my downline. Again, I want to stress that I did not join the program for the earning opportunity, but this is a GIANT bonus. You earn $1 for each person that is in your downline, down to 5 levels. If you refer 2 people, they refer 2 people and they refer two people, not only is your hosting and domain name paid for each month, but you are also walking away with an extra $4, and that is just a small example of how you can truly earn.

I've already had my first referral join, so my GDI account will now only cost me $9 a month. The benefits are already starting and I haven't even been a member for a week.

Please visit GDI to see if it is a program that would match your needs and online business entrepreneurship. Click here.

Hi Folks, Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm being featured on the Work At Home Business site. Please visit the write up! :) Click HERE to see it.

Also, I have other great news having gotten my first referral for GDI.

Remember, GDI is a hosting service that also provides you with a domain name for only $10 a month. Anyone you refer gives you $1 each month. And anyone your referrals refer give you $1 each month, down 5 levels. I'm happy that I've already started to grow my team.

To learn more about GDI, please click here.

This is the domain name I purchased. www.freeonlinecash.ws

The Berry Tree and the Unity Team

2008-06-05T00:34:00.005-06:00

Recently, I have come into some great fortune online. The Free Online Cash System is treating me very well with three people fully completed the program and still more at various stages. I will have my first pay cheque next week and it will be for at least $150, if not more.

But, I want to talk about The Unity Team and their website, Work At Home Business. This is my new favourite spot. Most of you think I will say because they have great sites listed, but that is not the case. I'm not saying they aren't great opportunities, because they are great. I'm talking about the people who make up the Unity Team. Linda and Dale are the strongest team I have met online. They have shown me some wonderful things online that I had never seen before. And they weren't afraid to just help me... Something that is often missing on any website. Wouldn't you rather join a program under someone who is there 24/7 to support you? Anyway, please visit their site, Work At Home Business.

Lastly, I joined the Berry Tree. I do not have enough room left in this post to speak much about it. I will simply say that is a program you pay to join and within 14 months, you begin to earn. Even if you never lifted a finger other than to make the monthly payments. But, if you can do that passively, imagine what you could do actively? MLM or Multi-Level Marketing at its finest. A patent pending 2 wide forced matrix. Take a look, I'm sure you'll be hearing a lot more about it. See the Berry Tree Video Here.

I wanted to give another update about the Free Online Cash System. The program is proving its worth to me. And in such a wonderful way.

As my loyal readers know, I have been using this program for about a month and a half now. I have been following their 90 Day Success Plan that shows you where and how to advertise to attract people to the program. And I am happy I have.

I now have a number of people going through the program, I am in talks with a few others and I have now had my first referral complete the opt in process. This means, by the end of next week, I will have received my first payment that will be at least $150. If any of my other referrals complete the process, that is even going to be larger!!

And remember, there is the MLM aspect of it. So I also receive the payment for each of my referrals first referral... and their first referral... to infinity. So that one $150 turns into $150 and $150 and another $150.

The program is available to ALL COUNTRIES and we all have an equal opportunity to earn.

Please visit my website and enter your info. Then send in the "I Qualify" email so I can reserve a seat for you at the next orientation conference call (via web or phone).

Changes To The Blog

2008-05-28T13:58:00.003-06:00

I just wanted to create a quick entry about changes to the blog. I have always prided myself on honest online earning, but in doing this, I think I have started to mislead people. If I want people to truly start earning online, I should really show you what sites are valuable, and not just the sites I have joined and the earnings I have made. I will be weeding out the programs that are slow earners and I feel are generally a waste of people's time. This will help people see exactly which sites I feel are the best.

I will not be deleting the list I have compiled on the left hand site of the blog, I will take out certain sites and create a general link like I have for Proof of Payment and How To Complete Offers.

If I don't feel a site is worthy of someone's time, I will no longer have it on the frontpage of my blog.

Thanks for your patience while I start to reorganize.

Bux.to

2008-05-26T22:32:00.004-06:00

For those that don't know, bux.to is a paid to click site. If you have followed the online paid to click websites, then you surely know this one. I joined it quite late in my online earning career and regretted not joining sooner. They always paid and they always had many clicks.

Well, I managed to get my account over $10 rather quickly and requested a payment as minimum payment is $10. This was in January. Then, the website was swithced over to AlertPay (it had been PayPal) and I tried to request payment again around late February because I had assumed I wasn't paid because they couldn't pay me in PayPal. When I tried it said that I had a payment pending. Sure enough, my payment request is still in. It is now the end of May and I have not received my payment. That is over four months.

There was recently a discussion in myLot and it came out that many of us have not received payments. I really don't know what to think. One one hand, I want to keep doing it as I'm making pretty good money for little work, but at the same time, after four months is there any hope? I think it's time to write it off as a scam.

They have also been listed on various scam lists like gptboycott.com but not on marketingpond's list.

I will make a comment on the left of the site so people know not to join until I have proof that they pay.

My Newest Traffic Site - Free Ad Planet

2008-05-23T09:18:00.004-06:00

In my quest to find good traffic exchanges for promoting the Free Online Cash System I stumbled across Free Ad Planet. It's similar to any traffic exchange, you visit links for 15 seconds and then receive credit for doing so.

But, Free Ad Planet acts a little different. In order for someone's ads to be visible and show, they need to visit a certain amount of sites each day to keep their ad in rotation. That way you are certain they are using the system properly and that everyone is benefiting from exposure.

On top of that, I have noticed a difference from regular traffic exchanges. Most of the sites that I have visited truly do have something of benefit to me. It does not have the regular sites that you find on most free traffic exchanges.

Another great feature is if you are on you visit your profile page, they still have ads listed on this page to click... that way you are not losing out on clicks while you make adjustments to your account. It is ingenious to provide something so simple. I have never seen a traffic site do something like this before.

To date, Free Ad Planet is my favourite traffic site that I have become a member of. To join, please click here.

Free Online Cash System - Progress To Date

2008-05-20T13:52:00.003-06:00

I thought I should give an update about my progress in the Free Online Cash System. I've now been using the system for just over one month and I absolutely love it. The marketing tools they have are really good at getting my site seen and generating interest.

I currently have three people working through the system with another 3 or 4 that are interested, but waiting for either the right timing or proof of payment. I can appreciate both of these situations. So what does this mean? When the three complete the program I will be $450 richer and be able to opt into the Cash Flow Success System. This will insure a residual income at $150 each time someone else finds a new referral. So although I do not have proof of payment to be showing at the moment, I should in the next few weeks.

I do want to touch on something of interest. Many of you complete offers on GPT sites and are paid for completing that offer. What if you only ever had to complete offers once and you would never have to worry about it ever again? That is how the Free Online Cash System works. Once you complete all the necessary offers, you can get busy referring people and making $150 at a time instead of $2 for completing your offer.

Part 3 - Traffic Exchanges

2008-05-18T10:56:00.005-06:00

This is the last installment to the series on promoting sites. In part 1 explained the importance of promoting your site/blog. In part 2 I explained how to create a splash page and where to use it.

I will use this Part to discuss the different Traffic exchange sites I use. The most important thing to remember is that these sites are most generally being used for the same purpose as you are using them. Members join them to promote their programs and surf to earn credits to promote these programs. That is why it is important to create a splash page that sets you apart from the rest. It needs to be something that people want to click.

Some traffic exchanges have a little more flash or are easier to navigate. But in the end, they are all the same. You click links to earn credits to bring more people to your site. It could get very tedious to describe the minute details of each traffic exchange I belong to.

I will give you the list of sites I belong to in the order that I prefer them, but you may have different preferences so it does not mean that you will enjoy #1 as much as I do.

#1 Trafficera A bit different because you send emails to your team and share a lot of information.
#2 Smiley Traffic A regular traffic exchange that does not have to be refreshed often. Easy to leave open during your regular internet surfing. You can also earn cash for surfing.
#3 Traffic Swarm Easy to navigate. It does log you out quickly.

Simply click the name of the traffic exchange to join.

Thanks for reading the three parts to this series. I hope it has helped you learn the basics of promoting a site.

MyLot Payment

2008-05-13T22:17:00.004-06:00

A little break from the series to post a new site that has paid me.

I received my first ever payment from myLot today. Minimum payment is $10 and I was paid $11.31 for earning accumulated by the end of April. I will post proof of payment when I get in the editing mood. :P

Now, you remember from my first installment of the promotion series that I use myLot for meeting people who are also earning online. You can find out great information, news in the online money making industry and introduce people to your program. I certainly do not stay for the pay, but that is a nice bonus.

When you add your interests, make sure to add, Make Extra Money to "Things I Want To Do With My Life". That is where you will find all the discussions.

Part 2 - Splash Pages

2008-05-10T10:39:00.004-06:00

This is the second part in the series of traffic and referral building.

Most of you are familiar with splash pages, they are generally what you see if you are involved in any traffic exchanges or click sites. They are a one page gateway to a website or blog.

Why Use A Splash Page

Sometimes sites aren't allowed to have traffic directed straight to their blog or site for fear of breaking the Terms of Use with their advertisers. This creates the need for a splash page. The other reason to use a splash page is to promote a program that may not have a front page that describes it well enough. Or maybe the program does not have a good splash page, so you want to create one that you think would appeal to people more.

The point of a splash page is to make it memorable and make all the information available in one quick view. Remember, people are using a traffic exchange for the same reason as you, to gain exposure. You need something that sets you apart from the crowd that makes clickers want to find out more. Two weeks ago I would not have suggested using traffic exchanges to promote a program because I only ever used generic pages. Now that I'm using a personalized splash page, I am receiving clicks about 4% of the time the link is shown.

I used TE Toolbox to create my Splash Page. It was really easy to create one. They make it really simple to set it up and then they show you how many times it has been exposed and how many clicks you have received. Click here to see my splash page I designed for the Free Online Cash System.

TE Toolbox allows you to create up to 5 Pages so then you can have five campaigns and see which one is performing best, and use that one, or only advertise in that spot. To start using TE Toolbox, click here.

Stay tuned for my next entry when I will discuss traffic exchanges and how to best benefit from them using your splash page.

Earning Online - Why You Need A Blog

2008-05-09T18:48:00.010-06:00

I was recently asked how I bring traffic to my blog. The simple answer for me is social networking. I use sites like MyLot and Yuwie to meet people with similar interests and share with them what I'm doing to earn, and consequently, learn what they are doing. The best part is that you are paid on these sites for socializing, so that makes you certain that they are interested to earn online. Here is a sample of my MyLot homepage here; this is my Yuwie profile here. You can see how these sites act as a place to advertise. I have my blog listed in both of these places so people that visit my page can find out more about me if I've interested them somehow. To join MyLot click here. To join Yuwie, click here.

Another suggestion is to use a Squidoo lens for promoting your programs if you do not have a blog. Squidoo allows you to write about anything you are knowledgeable about. Squidoo then helps promote the lens and gives you a passive income from anything purchased from the lens and also the number of page views you have. It is another place that is good to use as a home base for promoting your programs. To join Squidoo, please click here. Here are my Squidoo lenses.
~ Late Talking Children - The Einstein Syndrome
~ Become A Baby Whisperer
~ Free Online Cash System
~ Spinning

One of the most important aspects of a blog, lens or space, is keeping people up to date and informed on your area of specialty. For those of you that are online earning right now, but do not have a blog, lens, etc, you are signing your own fate. Blogs are very easy to create and even easier to maintain. You can even use sites like Yuwie and Squidoo to promote your programs rather than a blog. But remember, without offering something of quality, you will not maintain a loyal and consistent readership.

Another way I drive traffic to this blog is by using LinkReferral. It is another great way to find new opportunities as promote your site.

Now, some blogs and lenses do not allow you to use simple traffic generators to your site. That is why I use the above techniques. However, there are ways around this. Each suggestion I make is not violating the rules of any associated site.

This is the first post in a series, that will be used to help teach people how to create more earnings with their blog, site or individual program with different techniques.

My 100th Post Bost!!

2008-05-07T22:35:00.014-06:00

Wow, I've been a busy lady. The blog took a lull when I went back to work full time, but now that I'm working full time online, I'm able to keep it more up to date.

I have been paid over $1500 and have another $600 on its way. $2100 in total. Not too shabby. The best part is that it's really starting to snowball. The one thing I have learned about online earnings is that it really is a marathon and not a sprint. Everyone starts out new in low paying programs (some people luck out early on and achieve success quickly) and eventually find better programs to replace those with. You then find your first referral and Watch them diligently, then the network starts expanding, and the next thing you know, you have found 10 referrals or more. It happens in time and with persistence.

I really don't know what to discuss. All I keep thinking is, Free Online Cash System, Free Online Cash System, you get the point. I am now convinced that it is the one and only way to truly earn online without spending any money. Those are strong words, I know. But I have been doing this for 100 blog posts (7.5 months) and have explored many sites as you can see on the left. However, none are as powerful as the Free Online Cash System.

There is nothing else like it.

Ok, you pay nothing to join. Nothing. You invest four hours of your time, and that includes the orientation conference call. You then are paid $150 for each referral that invests four hours of their time. How would this not interest people? Honestly. They also use the one-up referral system, so that you get your referrals first referral, and then you get that referrals first referral, creating residual income. Refer two people and you have made $150. Refer four people in one month and you are making $600 just on them. Then if you make four referrals again the next month, you receive another $600. But remember, your first referrals may have each found one referral, so that is another $600.... simply for finding 8 referrals in two months. $600 to $1200 in one month by finding four referrals for two months.

These aren't fake numbers. I've started my team and we're going strong. This type of program appeals to three sets of people. Those who are involved with GPT (Get Paid TO) sites, those that enjoy MLM (Mulit-level marketing) and those that want to make real money.

I'm proud this is my 100th post. I've never been more confident in my online future and my financial future. Hold on tight folks, it's going to be an awesome ride. Are you on it? Click here to join.

I made $450 on SwatCash in April

2008-05-05T08:10:00.007-06:00

Just what the title says. :) When you are looking online for programs that will allow you to earn, what makes you decide to join that program? A suggestion from someone reputable? Proof of payment? An interesting article? Perhaps a combination of many things.

I know when I first started earning online it was a natural progression from small paying sites to the bigger sites. I started trying to find coupons to help out our family while I was on maternity leave. I then discovered moola and that opened up pandora's box for me.

Luckily, one of the first sites I discovered was SwatCash. At first I didn't take much interest in it and only completed one offer. After a couple months though, it became apparent that it would be a great place to really start earning.

They have monthly contests, weekly draws for $1000, random contests, daily contests, chat contests, etc, etc, etc. With the introduction of the new World Map, it is making it even easier to really start earning.

Let me breakdown what I earned last month so it becomes a little more obvious how easy it is to earn for all countries.

Offers $10.80
Paid to Click $.79
Referrals $35.88
Contest winnings $200
Exchanging internet funds that were free $200

Some sites it is only possible to earn with a large downline, but as you can see, I earn all my own money on SwatCash. I put in the effort and reap the benefits. This site also has over 60,000 members and once CashCrate and TreasureTrooper members really look at the site, they usually dedicate all their time to SwatCash.

Looking For People Who Want $50 From Me

2008-05-03T09:59:00.005-06:00

I am looking for referrals for a specific program. The program does not have any out of pocket costs. If you were to go through the program and complete everything, I will give you $50 (Canada and US) and $25 if you are from any other country.

I have been online blogging for 9 months now and am very trustworthy. At this moment, I can only do the transaction via PayPal, but will eventually add AlertPay. If you would prefer, I could even pay by Canadian cheque.

The amount of work required will not exceed four hours. And could be complete in a short period of time. This deal will not continue forever. I am looking for only a few serious people. The money will be paid after you complete the necessary tasks. It is easy, and I mean easy.

If this interests you and you would like more information, please email me at petalmoonchild @ gmail.com (no spaces).

All the best in online earnings!!!

Yuwie

2008-05-01T22:56:00.006-06:00

I have discovered a new love for the Yuwie website. Many of you are likely familiar with it, but I will give a brief overview.

It is a site that you use for socializing and networking, similar to facebook or myspace. The deal is that you get paid for page views to your page. Plus, you are paid for anything your referrals do for ten levels deep. The amount of referral bonus depends on the tier with tier ten being 30%. However, even if you put a lot of work into the site you would be lucky to earn 50 cents in a month. And only a rare few have made any substantial money from the site. But keep reading.

The site has a wonderful feature, people are actually coming to look at your page. So although they are not actively looking, some do. Especially new members who aren't familiar with the system and are roaming around. So it works more as a great networking tool for other programs.

Make sure you pick a template that is easy to see and not offensive to anyone. Also, you would prefer a template which allows you to put your advertising near the top so they see it.

It's a nice idea to comment on new users page and welcome them. While learning the site, it's the same as I mentioned above, they are looking around to learn the system. All the while reading information.

If you would like to join Yuwie, please click here.

I would also like to note that I use referral links randomly in my blog. It's my way of saying thank you and growing my downline. If you do join via me, please email me so I can insert your link.

If you enjoyed this article, please digg me. :)

I LOVE GetRef.com

2008-04-30T08:52:00.005-06:00

If you are looking for referrals for any of your programs, make sure you check out getref.com. I have been a member for months now and have had been able to find at least 50 referrals.

The reason I'm so excited about GetRef today is because I entered a competition a few months ago. The owner of the site, Jay, asked us to come up with a way of promoting the site. You were graded on four different aspects.

Exposure (10 points) + Comprehensiveness/Effectiveness (10 points) + Design (10 points) + Outside the Box (10 Points) = 40 potential points

And here was my score for my post on the blog.

http://jpetals.blogspot.com/search?q=getref.com - jpetals
0 - jpetals -
(5 + 6 + 4 + 3) = 18

Now, that seems like quite a low score, but Jay is a hard marker. I got 5th place for my entry. I was pleased enough to know that I scored 5th, but then when I logged into my account today I was awarded a Gold membership for 1 month and 10 free credits.

I will explain this a little more. Gold membership means you receive random referrals that join without being referred, you also receive double the credits for any offer that you complete (site you join as a referral). Credits are the internal currency. You earn credits for clicking on links and joining various programs under other getref members. You then use these credits to promote your own program. A gold membership is typically $5 a month (and a well spent $5).

If you are not already a member of GetRef. Make sure you join up and see what the fuss is all about. I am a loyal user and am happy to be a part of such a wonderful site.

2008-04-17T21:33:00.006-06:00

Well, here it is folks. The #1 program I have found online. I have tried everything, as those of you who have read my posts know. It is called the Free Online Cash System. All I know is that I have seen a lot of proof of payment and I have sat in the conferencing call. I have completed the First Phase and am REALLY EXCITED.

This is the only thing that I have discovered that works. I don't mean $100 a month work, I mean $1000 a month work!! Seriously. I have met many smart people on my quest to earning online and I am surprised that it's taken this long to find something like this. I guess it only started in December, so really, the proof is just coming out.

Blog breaks the 1,000,000 mark

2008-04-16T16:23:00.002-06:00

Today is a great day for the blog. When I logged on to the internet and my blog popped up, it was ranked at 935,088 using the Alexa toolbar! I think when I started I was above the 3 million mark, but because of loyal readership, this continues to increase. My goal was to break 1 million and I have done it!!!! Now I need to set a new goal. I will aim for 900,000 in the next three months. I can't imagine that a simple blog like mine would ever surpass the 500,000 mark, but I'll just take each day at a time.

If you have any ideas or suggestions for the blog, please feel free to comment. Is it set up in a way that is easy to read and follow? Is information readily handy?

Cash Back Shopping - Big Crumbs

2008-04-13T12:11:00.003-06:00

I joined Big Crumbs quite a few months ago. It is a site you can use to receive cash back shopping. There are many sites that are like this, but BigCrumbs is a little different because you receive cashback on eBay purchases.

I do not know of any other program that allows you to do this. Also, you not only receive cash back from your shopping, but on anyone that purchases through you. So you receive a commission on their shopping.

The best way to look at it is like this.... it's similar to Arbonne, Melaluka, NeWays, Amway or any other Multi-Level marketing program, BUT, you can buy anything you want from just about any store. You do not have to use their products and buy their products.

When you join, you receive your own store so you can simply give that link to friends and family. Forget the programs that ask you to pay for the store and support, Big Crumbs provides it all.

I was fired from a site

2008-04-07T10:20:00.003-06:00

It seems I'm only doom and gloom on the blog lately. But I have recently had some extra time and have tried to access some of the sites I had not been active on. One of these is Anything Goes. I was one of the first people to join the site and I know I had over 10 referrals. I stayed active as long as I could, but it was such a poor paying site (I had a penny when I last checked) that I didn't visit it until recently when I had some extra time.

Well, I sent a trouble ticket asking why I could not log on and I received this message.

Hello

You have answered your own question - The Terms clearly state:

"If your account is inactive for more than 45 consecutive days your account will be terminated and you will forfeit all prior earnings (Regardless of Account Type). All Members must click at least 30 Links per month or will be classed as inactive - just signing into your account will not suffice......."

You have said that you were inactive, therefore your account was probably deleted. I have checked and there is no account with the User Name 'jpetals'.

You may, of course, rejoin - if you had been deleted for other reasons, the account would be still there to prevent signup with the same user name.

Best Regards

Tony

Now, I am definitely not rejoining. I did a lot of work by recruiting for them. I'm sure they are happily taking all the money my referrals have made for them. I find it surprising when these sites "fire" people. Especially when they pay so poorly and likely don't want a bad reputation. The other thing I find ironic is that if a site is that great, why do you have to threaten your members? Logging in will not suffice??? Ok??? Would you have rejoined with a response like his? I found it quite rude!

At any rate, it's one less site I need to concentrate on.... I'm sad I lost my penny! HAHAHAHA

Moratraffic - another dud

2008-04-05T22:16:00.003-06:00

I just wanted to give another notice to readers of the blog. Moratraffic is gone as we know it. The owner has claimed there are medical reasons for him leaving, but more active members have done some research and feel that he just scammed everyone and kept their hard earned money. Either way, the site is down and will soon be under new ownership. I have no idea what the new site will consist of, but it certainly will not have any of our previous earnings.

I will add a new title in the left column on the blog. It will include the sites that have personally affected me and taken my money and more importantly, my time away from me.

I hope that no one lost very much with the site closing. I always say that all of these sites are gambles, even the ones that pay... you just have to find the safest gambles out there.

Gomez

2008-04-02T20:46:00.002-06:00

Someone recently left a comment about whether Gomez actually pays and if it is harmful to your pc. I will respond as a blog post because I think I accidentally deleted the comment. :( LOL

Yes, they do actually pay. I got involved with Gomez long before I knew of the GPT industry. I was an avid user of a Freebie website and a company called "Gomez" was giving away $5 StarBucks gift cards to anyone who would help rate their site. I did that and was rewarded with my StarBucks card. When they opened up the new system, I joined immediately and was accepted as an active user. I HAVE been paid by them without any sort of problems.

I do want to warn that not many people actually get accepted. They have specific requirements that they look for... ie, where you live, what type of a connection you have, etc. If they are looking for someone that fits your profile, you will then become accepted and become an active Gomez user. Not once have I noticed my computer slowing down or acting strange. I have full confidence in this company.

Life - My Reality

2008-03-25T15:23:00.006-06:00

Wow, I never thought I would get so slow at posting on my blog. Things are super busy for me and my family. We're working on selling our house and moving over 2000 km away. That being said, I'm still spending time on my favourite sites. I will list them for you because these are the sites that are helping me continue to earn even though I don't have the time I used to.

#1 SwatCash
#2 Moola
#3 Prizee
#4 GetRef
#5 MyCashHoney
#6 Bux.to
#7 aPairOf

Now why these sites? Well, I can earn on them easily and they are the sites I enjoy the most. Now don't get me wrong, when I have the time, I try to do them all, but there are simply not enough hours in the day.

If you look at the left side of my blog, you can see how much I have earned from each of these sites. Can anyone earn on these sites? You sure can. Are you having troubles figuring out which site to join? I can help you with that. Let me know your interests. If you like playing games, join prizee or moola. If you want to make a lot of money, join SwatCash and learn how to use their new World Map feature. Are you looking for something really simple? Try Bux.to or APairOf where they pay you a penny to click ads. Are you a bit of a nerd and like trivia? Join MyCashHoney.

Hopefully this will help get you started or show you a different site that is similar to one you already belong to.

If you are looking for referrals, GetRef is my #1 stop for finding referrals. I currently have over 400 people in my moola downline and almost 150 on SwatCash.

Good luck!!!

SwatCash the New and Improved

2008-03-09T21:43:00.005-06:00

Obviously SwatCash is my favourite site. There are other sites where I enjoy the forum more, but I have made my most money on SwatCash. To date, I have made $1332.43 through various aspects of the site. Completing offers, winning contests, winning the weekly forum draw for $1000 and now using their new game to win more money.

The new feature is called the World Map. The game has many aspects to it, so I won't even attempt to write it all out. My suggestion would be to visit the forums and read the many MANY threads about how it all works. A small summary is that it is army based and you attack other members of the site. I have found over 75 internal SwatCash, which is about $55.

It was easy to earn bonuses on the site before this, but the World Map can earn you a lot more if you are now active. I also created a quite lengthy blog entry about how to complete offers on their site. It is Clickable link near the top of the blog. One thing I have to add though is to do your offers in Internet Explorer because it has a higher rate of approving offers for people. And more offers means a lot more money!!!

The blog is quiet

2008-03-01T13:19:00.002-07:00

I know I haven't been near as active with the blog as I used to be. The answer is simple, I have very little time right now. I'm working full time and also a full time mother of two little boys, so I really don't get much free time, and when I do, I'm working the various sites. I have been spending almost all of my time on moola, MyCashHoney and SwatCash. Those are my 3 most profitable sites so it only makes sense to spend my time there.

Hopefully in the not so distant future I will have more time to dedicate to my blog and the new site that I want to have up and running. The site will not be up anytime soon, it will be a lengthy process to ensure I cross all my t's and dot my i's. I do not want to be in the situation that so many GPT sites are currently facing.

Of course, if you want to join any of the sites I belong to, just click their names on the left hand side of the blog. That will take you directly to the sign up page of the site.

Last, but not least, I got a $25 payment into paypal from MyCashHoney today!! I LOVE that site!

Clix4Coins - AVOID THIS SITE

2008-02-25T08:51:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to send out a post about Clix4Coins. I went from over $19 in my account to just over $2!! I also tried to register on the forum to voice my concerns, but I have been waiting 24 hours to have my account made active.

AVOID CLIX4COINS!!!

Looking for someone creative

2008-02-22T11:31:00.002-07:00

Hi folks,

I'm currently looking for one or two people to help me develop my very own GPT site. Specifically, I need someone who will help me develop an idea that people will remember.

As most of you know, I work full time, so this is my side project and I can only devote a limited amount of time to the project, but I have a place to host the site, free domain name, free script writing, etc. I have some ideas, but I need someone familiar with the GPT industry to help me make some final decisions. I will admit now that the pay won't start until the site is up and running and we're actually brining in some money. I do have money set aside for payments, etc, but financially, it would be more beneficial to use that money to pay the users and I will pay the "staff" once their is some cash flow through. I know my honesty may discourage some people from applying, but I'm hoping that my honesty is known and people will know they will be rewarded ASAP.

So here is my wishlist.

- familiar with the GPT industry and various GPT sites
- a creative mind that is not afraid to say something is an awful idea
- obviously, regular access to the internet
- I do not need a computer guru (I have one, LOL)

If this interests you at all, please email me at thomasthectrain@hotmail.com . I will take all applications into consideration. To apply, simply tell me where you found my blog.... ie: you saw my link on moola, etc. Please give me your username and any other information you think would help me make my decision.

I can foresee that with the resources I have available to me, this will be a rocking site. I hope you are as excited as I am.

Hope to hear from you all soon!

Yuwie - want referrals?

2008-02-05T13:07:00.000-07:00

Yuwie is a social networking site. It's not terribly difficult to use. In fact, it is simliar to myspace and facebook. The difference is, you are paid to do your socializing. This is not the best paying site online. I have made just over $.50 in a matter of 3 months. So why am I promoting it right now? Well, I think the key to Yuwie lies in the downline. Yuwie allows you to earn money from 10 levels down. The further down the level, the more it seems you earn, especially around the 8th level.

What I am offering to do for you is if you are not currently a member of Yuwie, if you join under me, I will post your referral link on my blog until you have a referral under you. Once you have one, I will rotate the link until another person joins. I will continue doing this and will never use my link again. This way, I can help develop my downline and also help people who want to join. What if I run out of links? I will start the process all over again.

If you are interested in joining Yuwie and participating in this, please send me an email and/or post a comment on the blog. This way, I will know to enter your link on to my site.

the Paid to Click Industry Woes

2008-02-04T19:33:00.000-07:00

It seems almost every PTC or Paid To Click Site is having a difficult time right now. Many have been forced to stop using paypal and others have had to close down completely. I have tried to keep up to date, but it's really difficult to figure out who to believe.

On one hand, if a site is a legitimate business, why would PayPal freeze their account? Why would PayPal not allow them to access even their own funds that are sitting in PayPal accounts? The reason I have been told is that the entire GPT or Get Paid To industry is under scrutiny. Many do not believe it's a legitimate business, or they believe that these sites are deceitful. Another reason that has been offered is the multi level marketing that is offered on many of these sites.

I'm sure most of you know that the GPT industry is alive and well and does not border on illegal. All activities on reputable sites are honest, legal and legitimate. they are not breaking any laws. They offer a service to companies and us, the users or members, are paid to provide these services.

What does all this mean? To be honest, I don't really know. I would love to say that the honest sites will be around forever, but at this rate, who really knows? I know that the reputable sites that have all their "ducks in a row" are continuing business as usual. Even sites like DailyClicks, who I recently called a scam site, have reopened their doors, reestablishing their user's accounts and are they are ready to pay.... however, you are limited in payment options.

I am taking Just-Click right off the list as they just announced they are closing. I am taking DialyClicks off my scam list because of their dedication to fixing all the PayPal problems.

Like everything in life, it's good to have a fair amount of skepticism with everything you do. I am a member of many different sites and aware of the risks associated with earning online. This is why it's important that we communicate in the GPT world and let others know of our experiences. If you are a cautious person and want to avoid the possibility of any risk, stick with sites like Moola and SwatCash. Although they may take a long time to reply to emails, etc, they always pay. Or sites that have many pictures of payments received.

2008-01-30T14:48:00.000-07:00

Today I got my very first payment from MyCashHoney!!! I requested a $5 payment in December and today I got the beautiful email, telling me that the $5 had been deposited into my account! That is another wonderful site to add to my list of paying websites. Today I went back to the site and requested a $25 cashout to keep it at a nice round amount. I will post the proof of payment at a later date, because... to be honest, I'm not that great at the old PC and posting proof of payment does take me some time. Since I spent quite a bit of time preparing my last blog post, I figured I'd give myself a small break from that.

So, I will give a list of all the sites that have now "officially" paid me.

MyCashHoney $5
Moola $110
Winzy $5 Amazon Gift Card
Gomez $6.40 and $5 Starbucks gift Card
SwatCash $142.60; $50 Best Buy Gift Card; $50 Visa Gift Card
Sponsored Reviews $3.25
aPairOf $1.14

There are a few sites I'm still waiting to be paid by, and I will update this list as the payments start rolling in.

In fact, I'm going to go request a $5 payment from aPairOf, as soon as I complete this entry.

To join any of the sites I have mentioned, simply click their names. Happy online earnings!!!

More Proof of Payments

2008-01-29T07:33:00.000-07:00

Well, it's been some time since I have posted proof of payment for any of my sites, but I thought I should get around to it and finally upload the pictures. For me it's more a time issue than not wanting to do it.... I'm not great at uploading things so I put it off until everything else is complete.

As I've stated before, I think it's very important for people to see proof of payment before they join any online site. It adds to the validity of any site. I operate on a system of honesty and don't try to elude anyone about how they can earn online.

I'm going to post my most recent proof. Moola and SwatCash.

This is my SwatCash payment from December. It was my first "big" cheque.

Here is my most recent Moola cheque.

Scam Sites

2008-01-24T22:46:00.001-07:00

I recently received a comment on one of my blog posts about a scam site. They wanted to know why I have now called DailyClicks a scam. I thought this would be a great opportunity to offer my view on scam sites.

Scam sites, as they are known in the GPT or Get Paid To industry, are sites that can be listed into a few subcategories.

- Sites that don't pay their members
- Sites that pay some of their members or a select few (so that there is proof the site paid)
- Sites that delete users accounts for no explanation

All of the outcomes are the same, there are unhappy users. To me, a scam site is not a site with bad communication. Sadly, my two best sites, moola and SwatCash, have terrible customer service and take forever at email correspondence. But in the end, they pay. It's that simple. As long as they pay, then I'm ok with bad email etiquette.

Scam Lists

I'm sure most of you have seen the Scam Lists. And I bet many of you have seen blogs with "Scam Lists" that they copy and pasted from a website without proper permission. Those lists are often not personally correlated, so then again, we are relying on another person's word and not the trusted writer of the blog.

Now, don't get me wrong. I use scam lists. But, I don't just read that it's a scam, I read the reason it has been labeled a scam. I make a judgment on the information I find online. If you are curious to see scam lists, you can visit sites like gptboycott.com or marketingpond.com.

However, this is the most ironic, bloggers and online money makers claim that gptboycott.com is a scam site. So who do you trust? Just do your research.

Dailyclicks

So, why do I think DailyClicks is a scam? Well, I received an email from them saying that all of our accounts were reset to zero because of some trouble they were having with PayPal. So, there are people that have been paid by DailyClicks, but, there are many more like me who had over $6 in their account, and now it is gone. To me, that is like stealing $6. So yes, I will not be promoting this site. If in the future, they prove they have turned it around, then I would possibly consider it.

Netwinner - Get paid to play

2008-01-23T11:10:00.000-07:00

Are you looking for a way to earn money online? Netwinner is a site where you are paid to play. It's different than moola or prizee, of which both sites require you to actively play. You are given 100 spins a day on their "Free Wheel". You can instant cash in amounts of $25, $250 and $50,000 or you can win points which you can redeem for cash different types of offers. I will quickly list the different places that offer cash cards on Netwinner.

- Master Card
- Bath & Body Works
- Barnes & Noble
- Cinemark
- the GAP
- Restaurant.com
- Circuit City

Magazine Subscriptions
- BAZAAR
- Cosmopolitan
- Esquire
- Good Housekeeping
- O At Home
- Red Book

This site is available to US and Canadian residents, but the only redemption available to Canadians is the Master Card credit.

How to Play

Free Wheel - all you do is pick the numbers and then see if they are winners. This is something that you can have running in the background while you are doing your regular internet stuff. It requires no thought at all.

Banko - this is simply Bingo. If you win, you can claim your earnings, or continue playing to win more.

Forum - the forum has many different contests open to all members. Pop in often to enter yourself.

PigPays closes its doors

2008-01-19T12:59:00.000-07:00

PigPays was a GPT or Get Paid To site that was created by a user of GPT sites. I had "met" this person on both moola and SwatCash and I was excited to hear they were starting up a GPT site.

Sadly, the owner has decided to close the doors on the site. He is in school and is finding it very hard to balance his school work with his online job. I know I did not do much to support his site, other than advertise it on here. I had earned a total of 17 cents so you can see I was very inactive.

I will be removing the link for the sidebar now that there is no longer any point in sharing my earnings.

A change to the blog

I have been thinking about a rating system to help people identify the better money making sites I belong to. Although I have earned the most on hits4pay (for example), it is not my highest earning site because it takes a lot longer to make payout on there than it does on bux.to, clix4coins or dailyclicks.

I'm not sure if I will rate all the programs, but as I start implementing it and playing with the design, I will figure it all out.

Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions for improving my blog.

SwatCash

2008-01-15T11:25:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to give everyone a really easy offer that credits on SwatCash. I just completed the Smart Diets offer. You sign up for the free trial and receive $4 and 2 bullets to use to attack on SwatCash. I did have to give my credit card #, but I will cancel my account with Smart Diets and they will not charge my credit card anything. I have done many credit card offers on various GPT sites and have never had any fraudulent charges. Always make sure to read the small print and make sure you know exactly what the Terms of Use are and what the cancellation policy is.

Completing this offer is also what I needed to open up the 3rd page of the armory and complete mission 4 on SwatCash. If you are not a member of SwatCash, this likely sounds confusing, but it is all part of the website. They have a very interactive part of the site that allows members to keep earning extra above and beyond the money they earn for completing offers.

I have now completed $54 in offers on that site and although that doesn't seem like very much, I have now made over $1270 on SwatCash. Can you believe I have made all that money with only completing $54 in offers??!?!?! I would not have thought it was possible, but I guess that's what the fun is about earning online, you are able to find the gems.

If you have any questions about SwatCash, please feel free to leave me a comment and I will help you out with whatever you need. SwatCash has just changed their site so it much easier for new users to navigate the site and figure out the added bonuses of being a SwatCash member. Also, I have a tutorial on how to complete offers on the left side of my blog near the top.

My First Cashout on Bux.to

2008-01-14T22:39:00.000-07:00

You read right, I cashed out $10.00 on bux.to. It's my first time making payout on this site so I'm really excited to get that added to my proof of payment. Not to mention that I'll enjoy the 10 bucks!

I'm not sure why I avoided bux.to when I first started ptc (paid to click) sites. I regret not joining sooner. It is only the second ptc site I have reached payout on. aPairOf was the other, but that's because the site has a $1 paypal minimum to cashout. It doesn't take long to reach $1.

I have read a lot about bux.to being a potential scam, but someone on myLot recently suggested that they get behind in payments, but then make all the payments at once and everyone still gets paid. I guess this will be a true test to see if it's a scam. Note that the day is January 14th. Let's see how long it takes to receive payment.

If you are interested in joining bux.to, please click here. Also, if any of the sites on this blog interest you, simply click on their name to join the site. I enjoy hosting this open blog to share my experiences with others out there trying to do the same. It is possible to earn your money in an ethical manner online.

Prizee - Winning prizes to play

2008-01-12T07:46:00.000-07:00

I have discussed Prizee on the blog before, but I would like to go into a little more detail. Prizee is a site where you don't get paid to play, but you win points and use those points towards prizes. When someone first recommended the site to me, I was hesitant. I explained that I would do my best to get on and play some games each day, but I would make any promises. Well, I have become an addict. I love all the little flash games and find myself becoming pretty good at some of the games.

The concept is simple. You are allowed to play each game once a day and there are 12 games. Some of the games are very easy to win at, some are simply "scratch tickets" and don't involve any skill. As you play the games you collect points or "bubz" as they are called on Prizee. Once you have enough bubz, you can redeem your points for a prize.

Now here is the reason I'm reviewing Prizee again. Just two days ago, a referral of mine redeemed enough points to receive a Prizee Apron. Now, what this means for me is that I receive the same gift or the same amount of bubz. Since I'm not interested in the apron, I chose the bubz. I now have enough bubz to redeem them for a dvd. But I want bigger and better things. I'm going to save up my points and redeem for a 100 Euro cheque. All you need is 100 bubz and I'm a 1/5th of the way there.

If you aren't sure if Prizee is for you, simply give it a try. If all else fails, you tried something new and didn't enjoy it. Maybe you might find a nice way to spend 15 minutes online, relaxing. I really enjoy it as a change of pace from the regular ptc sites and the gpt sites.

The working dillema

2008-01-08T19:49:00.000-07:00

Well, I have to say that work is taking its toll on this blog. And really, I should have foreseen it. When I have spare time, it's spent with my two little boys. And the other spare time I spend with my hubby.

I have been participating in the sites, but not making time to post.

You can see that bux.to is really taking off. I'm having real success with this program. As well as a few other new sites I joined, dailyclicks and icashout.... sadly, both of which are currently down, but by the time you are reading this, it's back online. Dailyclicks honestly has at least 30 clicks each day. And Icashout has at least 10 worth 1.5 cents, but is a terribly slow site, I hope they fix it. And lastly, Clix4Coins. I love the simple concept, only 4 clicks a day, but at least 2 cents each.

Please, if you are interested in any of the programs mentioned on this blog, simply click their name and it will take you directly to their site where you can join.

Lastly, I'm proud to say that I have started earning on Squidoo. I created a lens called Become a Baby Whisperer Mom . If doing something like Squidoo would interest you, please join here. You simply write about something you know about. Then you need to try and generate traffic there, but google is also involved and helps promote your lens. Plus they list products, and if someone buys something, you earn a commission. I'm sure each of you has something they could contribute.

Please bare with me as my blog slows down for a bit. If things get calmer, I will certainly be on more.

Happy New Year & Gomez

2008-01-01T16:29:00.000-07:00

Well 2007 has come and gone and here we are on to 2008. I have a feeling 2008 will be a wonderful hear for personal growth, prosperity and health. I have to say that I brought 2008 in with a bang, acting as a labour support person for my friend. She gave birth this morning around 6:30 and gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. He was, in fact, the New Year's baby for our city. What a special honour to be asked to participate in such a life changing experience. I will be forever changed.

Now, on to more general matters.

I do have some money coming this month, of course my $1000 from SwatCash, but I can't allow that win to discourage me from continuing on my path for earning online. I also have $5 coming from MyCashHoney, although I should have requested to cashout more, I only requested the $5. I will request the full amount for February.

The other site that I have a payment coming from is Gomez. The minimum payout there is $5 and I have over $6 in my account so they automatically cashed me out. This is my first cash payment from Gomez so I am not certain when I will find it in my paypal account, but you can be certain I will be telling all of you. In the past, I received a $5 Starbucks Gift Card from Gomez for helping them set up their online presence. People were asked to fill out a questionnaire in regards to their site and the gift card was their reward for completing the questionnaire.

Since I am receiving payment, I think it would be a nice time to review how Gomez works. Gomez is honestly the easiest program I'm involved in. You set up your account, download the program on to your pc and sit back and let the money come in. Gomez tests various site speeds for other online companies and reports to them exactly how long the pages take to load from different pcs in the world. They really require a great variety of users; dial up, high speed, different countries, etc. If you fit one of the profiles they are in need of, you then become an active member. Once active, you will earn money while you are using your pc online. Also, for each active member you refer to Gomez, you receive $2. I have never noticed my pc running any slower with Gomez installed. I was hesitant to download the program, but after receiving my giftcard, I felt confident that they were an honest company and would not do anything to jeopardize their customers.

If you would like to join Gomez, please click here.

I Won $1000!!!!

2007-12-28T07:03:00.000-07:00

I could not believe my eyes last night. I had gotten home from work, debriefed with hubby and was looking at the SwatCash forum to see if anyone had answered my post about the new Diet plan offer.

While looking for the thread I saw that SwatCash had posted weeks 20 & 21 winners for their $1000 weekly draw. I thought I would pop in and see who had won because I certainly did not have an extra $1000 in my account. Well, I guess you can imagine how shocked I was to see my name listed as one of the winners!! They changed the setup us you have to post your SwatCash ID in the thread to claim the money.

So here I am today, $1000 richer!!!

Do you know how you get entered into the $1000 weekly draw? You need to have 50 posts in the forum, that is all. They have to be helpful posts and not spam, but that's all it takes. The great part is the forum is fun to use and it's easy to get 50 and then more very quickly. I actually have 400 posts now.

Other than having the weekly give away, the offers that you can complete pay very high and they have a high success rate of approving.

If you are interested in joining SwatCash, please click here. And I wish you all luck.

Great click sites of late

2007-12-26T12:41:00.000-07:00

There are a few click sites that have been really impressing me lately. I been a member of some of them for awhile and others I just joined. I'm going to list the sites because if you aren't already a member, it is in your best interest if you are a clicker, to join these sites.

Hits4Pay: You receive $10 simply for joining. After that, each click is 2 cents, each referral click is 1 cent and your referral's referral is worth 1 cent per click. Minimum cashout is $25. Click here to join.

Bux.to: Each click is worth 1 cent and so are your referrals. Cashout is $10 via paypal and there is usually about 15 clicks a day. Click here to join.

iCashout: Each click is worth 1.5 cents and they have many to click. Visit the site a couple times a day as they are always adding new clicks. Also, referral clicks are worth 1.5cents as well. Cashout is via paypal with a minimum balance of $10. Click here to join.

Money-Website: Another great site where your clicks are each worth 1 cent and so are your referrals. Cashout is $10 via CASH or paypal. Click here to join.

Daily Clicks: This is a wonderful click site. There are more ads on this site than any other that I have been a member of. Each click is worth 1 cent, your referral clicks are worth .5 cents and minimum cashout is $2.50 via PayPal. I have earned over $1.50 without a single referral. Click here to join.

Clix4Coins: This site is a bit different because you will only have between 4 to 8 clicks a day. However, most of the clicks are worth 3 cents each. So you can see for very little work, you can earn as quickly as on the sites with many clicks, also, your referral's clicks are worth 1 cent each. Minimum cashout is $20 via PayPal. Click here to join.

MyLot: Although this isn't a click site, I should mention how easy it is to earn. All you do is find topics that interest you and post in the discussions. You earn just for giving your opinion. Click here to join. Also, this is my myLot User Profile

Happy Holidays

2007-12-24T21:27:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to take the time to say Happy Holidays to everyone and Merry Christmas to all the Christians. It has a been a great year for me and I hope it will continue into 2008. I have learned an enormous amount over the past 6 months and can only hope that I continue to learn and grow.

I wish you all a safe and happy holidays and a wonderful 2008!!!

All the best!

Cashcrate

2007-12-19T09:19:00.000-07:00

I just did two offers on this site yesterday and they approved almost instantly. For some reason, I often overlook CashCrate and I don't know why. They have many offers for all member Int'l or not.

The two offers I completed were

Free Hockey Jersey Participate in the survey. $0.40 12/18/07
Dynamic Rewards Register for free. $0.50 $0.00 12/18/07

Just use the tips I provided last week on completing offers to ensure that they approve. I'm going to be spending more time on CashCrate because they really do a great job of organizing Int'l offers. They have a lot of different ones to choose from, especially if you are using a Credit Card or paypal.

Also, payout is only $10 so it shouldn't take me very long to meet the minimum if I really start working at it.

$50 Gift Card from SwatCash

2007-12-19T09:14:00.001-07:00

As you may have noticed AGAIN (hehe) my SwatCash earnings have taken another $50 jump for a total of $248.40 earned on the site. I used my internal SwatCash that I earned through attacking and having a myspace page and purchased the $50 Visa Gift Card.

So that makes it an easy $100 that I have earned on there in the past week. I really don't know of any other site that allows their members to earn so much without doing offers. To date, I have only had 9 offers approve. Yup, that's right, only 9 offers. So you can see how easy it is to earn without doing the offers. Although, the offers do help boost your account, there is no real excuse if you are Int'l and feel you can't earn on the site.

Also, remember to join an alliance. Since I became a member of SwatCash I have been a member of Blackbird and we have always won the 5 Grenades for having the most infiltrations. To join blackbird, go to your alliance page and click on Blackbird. Now you are a member. If you ever see the word Defend or Infiltrate while on that page, click it!! That helps us win our grenades.

Moola Booster Blitz

2007-12-19T08:28:00.001-07:00

It's that time again..... ALREADY!!! Moola is having another Booster Blitz. What does this mean? Well, here is a direct quote from the site.

This upcoming Wednesday December 19th (TONIGHT), from 6:00 pm to midnight (EDT), Moola will be holding its much anticipated 6th official Booster Blitz.

An extra $70 earned online

2007-12-17T20:06:00.000-07:00

So I'm up to over $460 earned online. WOW!! It was a great week. The great thing about this site is you never really have to ask "how" I made the money. With the list of sites, you can see exactly where I'm earning my money.

The thing that gave me the biggest jump was the $50 Gift Card for Best Buy that I won on SwatCash yesterday. All I had to do was type the word "and". It was that simple. I'm still a bit in shock that I won because I had to miss so many contests over the 12 days, but I did get a win.

The other place that I have been really able to earn is MyCashHoney. The little trivia questions are easy and have really helped boost my $. I asked for a $5 paypal cashout, so I will tell you in the future if they honour my request. I believe I asked 3 days ago now and still no word about it. This is a brand new site that is growing and there is already a lot going on.

I did "buy" a referral from the site and they didn't do a thing. If you are debating about whether to purchase referrals or cashout with your honey bees..... definitely cashout.

DailyClicks.biz

2007-12-17T18:06:00.000-07:00

A GREAT PTC site. DailyClicks had 20 different ads to click today alone. 20 CLICKS!!!!

You receive 1 cent per click and .5 cents per referral click.

Cashout is $2.50 until Jan 1st. At that time they will announce what the new cashout amount is.

New Feature

2007-12-17T15:34:00.001-07:00

Have you ever visited a blog and seen the neat little function that tells you how much the blog is worth as decided by technorati? Well, today I did it for fun and you can see by the following that I was quite pleased!

My blog is worth $6,774.48.
How much is your blog worth?

Things are super busy in my life right now because I'm back at work full time, so sadly, I'm not posting as often as I used to, but I will stay as active as I possibly can.

Keep visiting back regularly so that you can keep up to date with all the happenings.

How to Properly Complete Offers

2007-12-12T22:18:00.000-07:00

This post is dedicated to those who want your offers to approve. This lists every trick I know. If you know of another, please let me know. I have another blog dedicated to people in my area and posted this next entry. I am going to make a direct link to it from my front page so that it's really easy to find if you ever need to refer back. I have to be honest and say that I found most of this info on another site. I have added parts, removed parts and tweaked others to make it my own, however. I didn't want to "steal" the info so I contacted the original writer and they were ok with me using and it and they were shocked that I bothered to ask. It says a lot about the culture of the industry. :(

Anyway, here is the information.

To complete an offer you must give information such as name, address, phone number, e-mail address and date of birth. GPTs require you to input your personal information in a truthful manner, but there are ways to keep advertisers from knocking down your door or calling you at all hours of the night.

Email Address

Use your main e-mail address on the website that you sign up for, in order to ensure that you get all updates and correspondence from the sites. For completion of offers, sign up for multiple e-mail addresses. Websites such as YAHOO, Hotmail and gmail all offer virtually unlimited free e-mail addresses.
**gmail trick: one e-mail address can turn into many. For instance: GPTresource@gmail.com can turn into: G.PTresource@gmail.com, GP.Tresource@gmail.com, GPT.resource@gmail.com, GPTr.esource@gmail.com, etc. They all go to the same inbox, but are recognized as multiple e-mail addresses by GPT companies.

Cookies, Cache and History
Clear your cookies, cache and history! This is how the companies track if you completed an offer. When you click on the link from whatever GPT you are using, it has your account number embedded into the link. When the offer completes the advertiser's website places a "Cookie" on your computer, then notifies the GPT site that you completed the offer. Don't worry, cookies are harmless to your computer (unlike real life, web cookies don't have calories- bad joke, I know). It takes a few simple steps to clear your cookies.
a) Go to "Tools" in the taskbar on the top of your web browser.
b) Click on "Internet Options"
c) Click on "Delete Cookies", "Delete Files", and "Clear History"
Do this between** offers and you will see a greater number of offer approvals.

**Make sure to clear cookies either before or after completing offers- NEVER delete cookies while you are in the middle of filling out an offer because it will cease to track your progress.

How many offers should I do?
Don't do too many offers at once.

Many of the offers look very similar- because they are. There are several companies that advertise several offers on GPT websites, and if you complete too many from the same company (such as Winning Surveys), they won't approve many offers.

When you are doing similar surveys from the same company make sure to clear cookies often and rotate e-mail addresses. You should stick to completing 10 or fewer surveys each day in order to optimize approvals.

How far should I go?
When doing the FREE offers, typically the response is to complete an offer "with intent to participate."

Well, what does that mean?
From my experience, and many members of GPT forums, intent to participate means to fill out the first two pages-
Page 1- postal code/zip code or e-mail address
Page 2- Personal info such as name, address, phone number, etc.

Typically I will only fill out that information at first. If the offer doesn't approve the first time, then I will fill it out completely.

You NEVER have to pay for anything on free offers- so when you get to the silver, gold and platinum offers, you can stop. You don't have to buy anything to get these ones to approve! I also have heard that leaving the confirmation page up can help with the approval.
In regards to daily surveys, once you receive the confirmation page, then you have gone far enough. The page will say something along the lines of "congratulations" and then tell you that you are entered into the $50,000 draw.

Keeping Track
Some offers require a Credit Card (CC) to complete the offer. This typically requires you purchasing something, paying shipping & handling, or paying for a trial offer.

Many of these offers do not send confirmation e-mails (they want you to forget you ordered it)- so it is a good policy to read the Terms of Service (TOS) of EVERY paid offer, and write down the phone number that is listed for customer service or cancellation. Once you complete the offer, look for an account number or account name, and make sure you know what e-mail address you used to sign up for the offer. This way you can contact the company once the offer clears, and cancel your free trial to avoid further charges.

I use one e-mail address for all CC offers, and I usually only do one or two at a time so I don't forget about them and wind up paying extra money for something I'm not using.

***If you want to do a CC offer, but do not have a credit card, or don't feel comfortable using your credit card, you can always try purchasing a pre-paid credit card :) You can get them at your local mall or online- just google "Pre Paid Visa" and you'll have a ton of sites pop up. Just make sure the site you are using allow pre paid cards. I personally just use my own credit cards and keep meticulous track of the offers. If I am in doubt, I call my Credit Card company and explain the situation. If the charges are unauthorized, your credit card company will work with you.

Are you doing more than 1 GPT?
Many people participate in several GPTs at once, which can get a bit tricky when trying to track offers that you have completed. A recent development in GPTs is the banning of members who do the same offers on different GPTs, which is a cause of concern for many multiple GPT members.

One recommendation that many GPT users have suggested is to keep a spreadsheet with the GPT site used, the name of the survey completed, the date it was completed, and what e-mail address was used. For instance:

GPT Advertiser Date Completed E-mail Address Used

SWATcash Winning Surveys- Lexus 09/12/07 SCSurveys@gmail.com

Treasure Trooper
Winning Surveys- Laptop 09/15/07 TTSurveys@gmail.com

TreasureTrooper Coastal Vacations 09/20/07 TTSurveys@gmail.com

This will help with organization of offer completion and will keep you from overlapping offers, and potentially getting yourself banned from all GPT sites. It (banning) has happened to others, don't believe it won't happen to you if you are not mindful about what you are doing.

Will I get telemarketers?

Well, it is possible if you use your home phone number, but if you live in the US, there is a few companies that offer a free phone service. I am not a member of any, so I can't comment as to which is the best, I can only list them. http://www.k7.net , http://www.aimphoneline.com/ , http://numbr.com/.

What do I do? I have several offers pending?
This is completely normal for any GPT program.

Many companies give the GPT program several offers at one time. They are looking for unique information. If you do every one of the offers from that company in a short amount of time; chances are that you will not have a great approval rate.

To keep this from happening, it is recommended that you complete between 5-10 new offers per day- and try not to do too many from the same survey company. In addition to limiting the number of offers completed, make sure to rotate e-mail addresses.

If you have offers in pending that you really want to go through, you can re-do them, but try to limit re-doing offers to 2-3/day, and only if the offer has been pending for 2 weeks or more.

If you find that your approval rates are very slowly or most offers are getting denied, then it means it is time for you to create a new e-mail address or two.

Credit Card Offer Suggestions
Many of the Credit Card (CC) offers are very appealing, but do pose some risk ($$$ risk). If you fail to cancel a trial in time, or do not calculate shipping & handling into the overall profitability of the offer, you may end up an un-happy GPTer. Here are some suggestions to keeping you happy AND getting you paid for completing CC offers!

1) Use a pre-paid Visa Gift Card. You can buy them at your local mall, grocery store, or at several online retailers. But be careful, make sure doing so doesn't violate the TOS with the offer you are completing.

2) Track all offers carefully. Use one main e-mail address for all CC offers and keep all confirmations!

3) When you first see a confirmation screen pop up, write it down as well as the customer service phone #. This keeps you from stressing just in case you don't get a confirmation e-mail address.

4) Read the Terms of Service (TOS) VERY carefully! Some of the sneak hidden charges or fees into the offer via the TOS- so take the time to read carefully- it can save you a lot of frustration.

5) Only do 1-2 CC offers at one time. Many people forget to cancel trials or send back samples (when required), and end up getting charged the full-amount instead of the promotional FREE or S&H only. By doing 1-2 at one time, it is easier to keep track of.

6) Check your CC statements carefully every month for unauthorized charges- this is to protect you. Some companies try to sneak stuff past you- so make sure you know what you are getting charged for!

7) If you have an un-authorized charge on your card, or you don't know what you may have ordered, make sure to contact the company listed. If they do not respond, contact your CC company and dispute the charges. One time a site I paid stopped answering all calls and returning emails. I called my CC company to warn them that there might be false charges. Luckily, it all worked out before I got to the point of asking them.

iCashOut

2007-12-11T14:12:00.001-07:00

Perhaps the next best PTC site? I have no idea how this site has eluded me for so long. I found it on GetRef and am very pleased that I did. 1.5 cents per click and on my first day I 8 sites for a total of 12 cents. It pays a bit less than my favourite Clix4Coins, but it has more ads. The other great part is that you receive 1.5 cents for each referral click!!!! Amazing!

Cashout is via Paypal if you have achieved a minimum balance of $10.

GetRef.com

2007-12-11T10:48:00.000-07:00

It's been awhile since I have gone into detail on the art of finding referrals. I decided it was time to share my experience with GetRef and my ability to find genuine referrals for my various sites.

May I ask EVERYONE that reads this post to leave a comment at the bottom about how helpful this post was. I really REALLY want to win their BLOGGING competition and I need to do something unique. Having all my friends and readers comment will surely be helpful!!!

As you all know that I'm a big fan of money making sites. Although I'm able to make money all on my own, adding referrals really helps increase the amount earned. Finding referrals is really difficult for some people. First off, most times their friends and family are not interested in joining the various sites.... for whatever reason. I believe this is usually because of the uncertain. Some people just don't believe you can earn online, even when you are holding a cheque in your hand, they can't imagine that all you had to do was click or complete an offer to be paid that amount.

This brings you to the second way of finding referrals.... online. This is much easier than it sounds. People often don't know where to start. What site do you use to promote? What sites allow you to promote in your signature? What sites will kick you off for promoting? How much money should you spend? Where should you spend it?

I know that's where I was when I first joined the web to make money. I had no clue. But now I know where to look. I know the place where I can earn great referrals for FREE!!!! The answer is GetRef.com.

How it works

There are three ways to earn credits on GetRef.com

1. Click links - just like a ptc site, you can earn credits by clicking.

2. Sign up for other sites - like a gpt site, you complete the sign up and become an active member of the site you joined. Some users only require you join a site, others require you to become an active member.

3. Purchase - just like advertising, you purchase points and use them as credits for people joining your sites. I have purchased 40 credits for $10 and it paid for itself right away.

Link Exposure

Are you more interested in having your blog seen? Are you trying to find traffic? You can also use your credits to purchase link exposure. GetRef members are able to click your link and view your site. This is great for people who are involved in PTP.

Going Gold

It is possible to purchase a Gold membership on GetRef. This allows you to earn double the credits for each program you join. You are also rewarded with random referrals and other great perks. I have recently purchased the three month membership for $13.95. The benefits have already paid for itself. This is the fastest and easiest way to grow your credit balance and start earning real referrals.

But I don't want DeadBeat referrals

LOL!! Neither do I! But GetRef has a system in place so you can decline a users request for credits for joining your program. They have 48 hours to prove they are going to be worthy of your credits. If they don't, you simply cancel the transaction. Problem solved.

Win Tickets

By clicking the available links for credit you are able to earn tickets. Each day there are 4 randomly placed in the various links. Each month there is a winner drawn and that member wins. It is slightly different each month, but this month the jackpot is currently at $13.50, you also receive a month's Gold membership and 27 credits into you account. It's a pretty sweet deal for just doing what you were going to do anyway.

The Forum

GetRef has a wonderful forum that I would suggest every member become active in. You meet other GPT members and are able to share what has worked on the site, obtain advice from experienced users, hear of new programs, etc. It is also a great spot to learn the most about GetRef and how you can benefit the most from the site. Also, this is the best place to contact the friendly admin, Jay. He has a strong presence on the forum and will directly answer any questions you may have.

SwatCash and the 12 Days of Christmas

2007-12-10T09:30:00.000-07:00

Well, if you are looking for the best site to earn online, the hands down answer is SwatCash. For those of you that read my blog, you already know this. This site gives away more prizes than any other GPT.

Currently, they are holding the 12 days of Christmas. Today is the 6th Day of Christmas and who knows what they are giving away. So far they have given away:

1st day= 32 inch TV
2nd day= 2 wiis
3rd day = 3 xbox 360s
4th day = 4 PS3's
5th day = 5 iPhones

Who knows what they will offer today. I'm excited to find out though.

They still have their weekly $1000 winner (and it hasn't been announced yet today, keep your fingers crossed for me. ;) )

I'm in the process of deciding whether to use my internal SwatCash to buy the $50 Visa Card, or hold off until I complete one more offer and can purchase referrals. My last two referrals I bought earned me $30. But the deal with referrals is that you never know if you are going to get lucky.

All the contests are being held in the chat or in the forum, so if you don't have a forum account, you should create one before the contest starts.

Good luck to everyone.

Online distractions

2007-12-08T20:41:00.000-07:00

I'm know I'm a big pusher of click sites, but sometimes, you just gotta let lose and have some fun on the net. There are a few things I do. Visiting forums is perhaps my favourite.

I also enjoy playing the games on Prizee. And in fact, it has turned into an evening ritual with my oldest son. He sits on my lap and we talk about the animals, etc. Plus, I get to win bonus stuff for the points I collect.

Another thing I discovered while doing one of the boosters for Moola was a onlinebackgammon site (I also got paid $20). I had never played backgammon before, but I quickly learned the ropes and enjoyed my time on the site. All the players were super friendly.

There is a few of backgammon sites, but my favourite site to play backgammon is www.gammon-world.com. I find it has a better layout and is easy to use. Also, I've played in a few of their backgammon tournaments and enjoyed myself.

Updated balance

2007-12-04T19:43:00.000-07:00

Things have been moving right along the past week. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have started back at work full time, but I have still managed to get all my clicks in. :) Some days I'm a bit slack, but so far, so good. Since I started the running total on the blog I have increased it by quite a fair amount. I'm really proud of the earnings I've made and thank all of you who read the blog and help me just by reading it. I'm now up to over $385 of online earnings!!!

I guess I'll just highlight that I've had a lot of luck lately with Clix4Coins, bux.to, SwatCash and Treasure Trooper. I have no idea anticipating what sites people will enjoy the most, but those seem to be the most recent winners. Those and Money-Website.

Also, I wanted to send an FYI that PigsPay is giving away $1 to each member that joins this month.

If you want to join any of the sites I have just mentioned, just click their name over on the left. It will take you directly to their site and you can join.

Last, but certainly not least, I'd like to share my pleasure with my Alexa ranking. I guess the spider finally crawled my blog and boosted me up into the 2 millions. It still seems pretty sad, but I'll take a 1 million jump any day. I guess it gives me something to look forward to.

MyCashHoney

2007-12-03T18:08:00.000-07:00

The newest GPT site or Get Paid to Site that I joined is called My Cash Honey. I really wasn't looking for any new sites, but during a SwatCash chat contest, an online friend of mine suggested I give it a try. I am a member of too many GPT sites already so I really didn't want to add another just to have my name on another site. But she convinced me and I'm glad she did.

My Cash Honey has a spelling bee section. What you have to do is select the correct multiple choice answer to either a definition, famous quote or other items similar to this. I usually use my Moola search and win booster to do the search. After you submit the correct answer, you are awarded a Honey Bee. You are allowed one spelling bee each day and then can redeem the Honey Bees for various prizes. These prizes include.

10 Honey Bees give you the next free referral to join the site
15 Honey Bees give you $1.50
210 Honey Bees give you a $20 Gift Card of your choice

So, just for doing something I enjoy (trivia), every ten days I will be awarded a referral.

Moola - $110 paid

2007-11-30T21:20:00.000-07:00

Some of you are likely very familiar with Moola. For those of you who do, skip the next paragraph.

Moola is a site where you are given free money. Sounds far fetched, but here's the deal. They give you a penny, you take that penny and double it, you take those two pennies and double that. If you do this 30 times you win over $10.7 million dollars. Is this likely? Nope. BUT, you can place smaller bets so that you don't lose it all in one game. I have been paid $110 by moola. The best part is it is fun and has a very active forum. If you are looking for proof of payment, click here.

I constantly struggle with a good betting strategy. If some of you have a great strategy, please let me know. I have tried the thelopez's, fly_fishers as well as the martingale strategy. What seems to work best for me so far is use the martingale strategy until about $40 and then do more of a fly_fisher type style. Sometimes if I am on a winning streak at around $40 I will play, win two games, bet up, then bet back at the original bet. That's how I worked my way up during the moola blitz.

Also, don't forget to try and spin the search wheel 4 times a day or more. I have won 50 cents a few times. Maybe even a dollar, I don't remember.

As for the number of referrals I have on moola, it is 280. However, I only have 77 as my immediate referrals. I think proves how many people really enjoy the game and play it. Plus, the forum is a very friendly place where I spend spare time.

SponsoredReviews.com

2007-11-29T22:50:00.000-07:00

I was recently directed to SponsoredReviews.com by a wonderful blogger I met on myLot. You can actually review her blog entitled Jo's Life found on the left side bar. SponsoredReviews is another wonderful addition to sites that I can earn on.

How it works is you are paid to blog. This is a direct quote from the site.

A review is an article that a blogger writes about your product. We use the term "product" as a general term for anything you want to have reviewed. It could be a website, a service, or an actual physical product.

You blog must have at least 20 posts and there is various criteria that has to be met to be accepted. Once accepted you bid on "reviews". I could comment on how much you receive per article, but it really varies greatly. The lowest is $3.25 and I'm sure some would pay well over $100. My blog has been accepted so I am now in the process of submitting for bids. I hope it goes well and will keep you updated on the site. The blogger that referred me has been paid.

I should also mention there is an affiliate program and you receive $5 for each person that joins (and has their blog approved).

Bux.to

2007-11-28T22:06:00.000-07:00

When I first joined the online money making scene, I heard about Bux.to, but for some reason, I never joined. When I did eventually join, I forgot about it and it sat there doing nothing for months. Well, I was recently going through emails and found my confirmation email. I bookmarked the site and logged in. Guess what? There are tons of clicks. By far, it has more clicks than any other site I am a member of. This may be because I'm from Canada, but I'm really pleased with it.

I realize that with my grand total currently sitting at $1.79 that it may not look like a high earner, but trust me, if you are a clicker and aren't already on this site, join. I wish I had figured this out earlier. :( Click here to join.

Another quick thing. I just started back to work full time today after a nice maternity leave. It was very tiring in many regards (emotionally, physically and mentally). I am committed to continuing this blog, but if I miss the odd day, please excuse me. :)

Downline Builders

2007-11-27T16:20:00.001-07:00

Some of you may be familiar with these sites, for others, they may be quite new. The sites I'm talking about are Free Money Team, Marketing Pond and the newest on the block, Global Team Club. It is worth noting that the benefit of Global Team Club is that it allows International users in all its programs.

What are Downline Builders?

These sites allow you to advertise one site, rather than 20 individual sites. For instance, if you are a member of Free Money Team, they have SwatCash, Treasure Trooper, Clix4Coins, myLot and more all listed on the site. What you do is sign up for Free Money Team, join all the sites and advertise the one banner.

Pros of this system

The obvious is that you market one site. You don't have to chose which site to market to people. Offer them the one site and they join under you and hopefully join all the programs in your downline. Also, if a referral's referral (confusing I know, LOL) chooses to join a site that the referral is not a member of, they join directly under you. Another thing to note is this, if you are already a member of certain sites in the downline builder, you can email your downline on those sites and inform them of the downline builder. It helps you grow your referrals quickly. And the final word, you really have nothing to lose. If you are already a member of one or more of the sites, by joining the downline builder, you will only increase your chances of earning online. You never have to join a site you have no interest in, simply leave that one blank.

Cons of this system
Someone may already be a member of some of the sites. Therefore you lose any referral income you could have earned from them. Also, they may not be interested in some of the sites so they don't join. Lastly, some people don't understand how the system works, so rather than joining directly from the Free Money Team site, they join directly to the site, therefore, you lose all referral income.

The Verdict

Join the sites. You have nothing to lose and you could receive many active referrals. On Free Money Team I have over 30 people in my direct downline and over 30 that are indirect.

If you decide to join one of the three I'm a member of or all three, make sure you regularly visit the sites. Programs are added and deleted all the time so it's important to get your referral link on there before your downline joins. Sometimes the sites send updates, but many times I find that I have a new program to join by visiting the site.

How to thank a blogger

2007-11-26T14:30:00.000-07:00

This post is a little different than my usual reviews of paying sites, but trust me, it's all related. The reason it's related is because people get paid for blogging. They may not get paid for the blog entries, but they can be paid by the ads they are showing. For instance, on my site I use a company that must remain anonymous or else I will violate their terms of service. What happens is, when you click an ad, I am awarded money for displaying their ad. At the present moment I have earned $12.40 since I began using this service about 4 months ago. As you can see, it's not the most lucrative endeavour, but it all helps.

Another item bloggers rely on is the visibility of their site. For instance, Alexa rates sites based on different items. The higher the Alexa rating, the more visible the site is. As you can see by my Alexa bar on the left side of the site (a bit further down) I'm not doing so well. I'm ranked over 3 million! LOL So I have some work to do. You can download the Alexa toolbar here.

I have been doing different things to improve my Alexa rating and my rating on other schemes. You will notice that I now have little buttons on the left side of my site including Technorati, Skinny, BlogFlux, digg and del.icio.us. Those are all intended to improve my ranking and increase the visibility of my blog.

Ok, so back to where I started. How to thank a blogger? Click their buttons and their ads! It only takes a few seconds and it will help them out. Also, if you found value in their site or you learned about a new program through it, join the program. Give the person who earned your interest the respect for doing so. So what are you waiting for? Get Clicking!! LOL

Deleting Accounts

Today I decided to drop a few of the sites that I am either not using or that is simply paying way too little. So far I have deleted my two autosurf sites, Traffic Roundup and TopSurfer. Actually, I had a few credits to use on TopSurfer so once those are all used up, I'm deleting them. I figure there's no reason to keep them if I don't use them. I really don't see the value in the autosurf and manual surf programs. I'm sure some are successful with them, they just seem like a big scam to me, now that I understand the industry.

I also deleted AdSensitive and there will be more to go. I don't want to advertise something that I really don't see any benefit in.

Just wanted to say that the Money-Website and Bux.to sites are really proving their worth. If you haven't joined these two yet, jump in. 1 cent clicks and quite a few each day. Plus, 1 cent for each referral that clicks. Just click the names of the sites above to join.

I just went over to bux.to to get my referral URL and there are another 10 clicks. :)

Ebay Discount?

2007-11-23T10:51:00.000-07:00

I need to post about BigCrumbs today. The reason is that I didn't explain the best feature about it.

If you join BigCrumbs, you are rewarded Cash Back for any purchase you make on eBay.

Any purchase you make from ebay through BigCrumbs you will receive 20% cash back from the listing price the seller had to pay. So not only are you receiving something at a cheap price from buying on eBay, you are receiving even more back!!!

Pig Pays, Money-Website and Big Crumbs

2007-11-22T08:43:00.000-07:00

I have three new sites to add today. Three GREAT new sites. It's funny that there are always gems out there to be found.

Pig Pays

This is a brand new Get Paid To complete offers site. It has two daily surveys for a total of $1.75. The owner is new to owning a site, but has been in the GPT industry for awhile. I am familiar with raistllinn (the owner) through Moola and SwatCash. The site is running a few contests this month. The most notable is a free iPod to the person with the most referrals that reach payout ($15). The site is open to International members, but at the moment there isn't very much for Int'l members to complete.

To join Pig Pays, click here.

Money-Website

My newest Click Site and I think it may be the best. I have had 23 clicks in my first two days. You receive 1 cent per click and 1 cent per referral click. The site is very easy to navigate. Minimum payout is $10 through PayPal. I would get into this one. I hope the ads keep pouring in as strong as when I started.

To join, click here.

BigCrumbs

Similar to My Power Mall, on BigCrumbs, you are rewarded Cash Back for any purchase you, or your referrals make. The list of stores is very large, ranging from 40% of eBay listing fees to the BabyCenter.com to everything in between. Still need to do some Christmas shopping? Take advantage of BigCrumbs and receive a nice cheque in the new year to help pay for all your new purchases. Even if you aren't going to do any active shopping at the moment, you never know when someone will. Get into this early so you can take advantage of the 5 levels of referrals.

Updated earnings

2007-11-21T14:17:00.000-07:00

I went and updated my earnings online. I didn't go through all my sites because updating all the ptc sites takes a LONG time. :) I will likely do those monthly.

I'm happy that I've now earned over $350. That's nothing to scoff at.... all it took was a little bit of online time and some research. And guess what, you are the lucky ones because my time has benefited you to find the best sites.

Now, I have sites that I'm advertising on GetRef and on Star Referrals. If you want, instead of joining directly from my blog, be rewarded by joining my sites via GetRef and StarReferrals.

On GetRef I'm advertising Clix4Coins and on StarReferrals I'm advertising SwatCash, Freebies Junction, Treasure Trooper and Clix4Coins.

If you see any other sites that you would like to join, I can always add those to my referring sites and offer incentives that way. Just email me a petalmoonchild @ gmail.com

Anything Goes

2007-11-20T08:56:00.001-07:00

This is a brand new site that began just this month. It's a PTC program for the most part. The greatest part about this site? The first 500 members receive a Free "fancy" upgrade. This basically means you receive free advertising credits! I've already submitted mine so look for my SwatCash ad and my blog ad. They currently have 248 members so join fast before they run out of the "fancy" upgrades.

Receive 20% of all your referrals earnings. Open to ALL countries.

To join the site click here.

Yuwie

2007-11-19T19:55:00.000-07:00

I keep wanting to submit my new entry, but other pertinent issues keep arising. Today's issue? Yuwie links. Yuwie has changed their referral link. This happened a few weeks back, but I think it mainly went unnoticed. I know I forgot to tell my referrals on it. Also, a user on moola was looking to join and had no luck with anyone's referral link because everyone had the old link up.

Please log into Yuwie and get your new referral link so you aren't missing any opportunities.

Tip of the day: Bookmark all your gpt and ptc sites into folders. I just go down the list of my PTC (Paid To Click) sites and am done them early in the day because I keep them organized.

Thoughts on earning online

2007-11-18T11:21:00.000-07:00

I had prepared a blog entry for today, but I will post that one tomorrow. I'll explain why. I was on a favourite site of mine and the second forum I was ever a member of, babywhisperer.com. On the site there was a post asking if anyone was a member of inbox dollars. Of course, I made a post saying that I was a member, but there was of course someone say that it was likely a scam.

Why do I bring this up? Well, it seems the nay sayers are always those that have never tried to earn online. For them, it's always "prove it to me". The funny thing is, there is proof, there is always payment proof available for legitimate sites. If someone has taken the time to try and earn online, they quickly learn that it IS possible. I am living proof of this. Is it always easy? No. Why is this? Because people don't know which sites actually earn you the most for the required work.

Before joining any site, do you background work, just like you would do with any job. Research the site, visit the forum, google the site name to see if it's a scam. Use sites like gptboycott.com and see if your site is listed on there blacklist or watchlist.

This is why I have added the earnings portion on the left side of my blog. It's important for people to visually see what earnings are possible.

So, where does that leave us? Well, I am going to promote my two best paying sites. Sites that I have been paid by. Sites that I know will make anyone money.

SwatCash - You get paid to complete offers and fill out surveys, not to mention the bonus earnings for just being an active member of their site. This site is International, but the best earners are from the USA, Canada and the UK. My total earned now exceeds $125. Click here to join SwatCash.

Moola - You are given a penny to play a game, you win the game you double your penny. You then can bet your 2 cents and continue earning. This site is only available to Americans and Canadians at the moment. I have cashed out $110 on moola. Click here to join Moola.

Now you can see why I continue to use the Internet to earn money. Every penny counts and every dollar is a bonus.

Thanks again to all my loyal readers who already know this and who continue to read my blog. Tomorrow I will be posting the new sites I have joined and if I get a chance I am updated my earnings. I am happy to say that it's going to jump to over $350 easily!! (Thank you SwatCash!!! :))

CravingCash

2007-11-17T15:54:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to let everyone know that CravingCash is giving everyone $1 if you have 10 posts in their forum. Don't spam the boards, offer helpful and useful posts.

Not a member? You receive $2 for joining and then that extra $1 for your posts. Sounds like a pretty easy $3 to me. :)

SwatCash

2007-11-16T09:41:00.000-07:00

Well, time to go back to my favourite GPT site on the net. SwatCash is just unbelievable. This month they are giving away $15,000 in prizes alone, that has nothing to do with payment or earnings. Last night they gave out 2 Wiis and 4 iPod touches in the chat.

Still not a member? Why not? I have earned over $140. Yesterday, I had two referrals earn over $50 each on their very first day. Hard to believe? Nope. If you haven't joined and are interested, right now is the right time to do so. They have an offer for $1.00 instant credit. You simply have to tell them where you heard of SwatCash. So, if you have been hesitating to join, now is the time to try it.

BidVertiser

2007-11-15T11:29:00.001-07:00

For everyone that has a blog, you should be advertising with BidVertiser. It's similar to Google if that's what you use, but the difference is that they don't penalize you for advertising sites other than google.

If you are interested in joining BidVertiser, you can do so by simply clicking the banner below. This is also another great way to extend your earnings online. If you have a blog, get BidVertiser! :)

Clix4Coins

2007-11-14T09:31:00.001-07:00

My new favourite click site. Why is it my favourite? There aren't many people who are members yet so it's easy to advertise and find referrals. The site will take you 2 minutes a day to complete your clicks.

- $3.00 sign up bonus.
- $20 minimum cashout via paypal
- All countries can join

Earning money on Clix4coins.com is very simple. A minimum of 4, and a maximum of 10 advertisements are available for you to view each day. For each advertisement you view you earn $.02. To qualify as having viewed the advertisement, you must have the page open for 30 seconds. In addition to earning money for viewing the advertisements yourself, you will also earn $.01 for each advertisement one of your referrals views.

A new feature added

2007-11-12T12:51:00.000-07:00

So I have taken the time to list all my sites and how much I have earned on each site. I was very pleased to learn that my total earned is above $300!! The highest paying sites, of course, are SwatCash and Moola. But it's nice to see that my efforts have proven fruitful. Sometimes though, the best sites are the paying ones. Getref has given me a lot of referrals and so has StarReferrals. As long as you use the sites properly, you will be rewarded with growing downlines. You will find the full list of sites at the top of the page on the left side.

I also wanted to add in this post that if you ever want to contact me for ideas, new sites, or help with how to make money, please post a comment or email me at petalmoonchild@gmail.com. I will answer any and all your questions. Some of you have already done so, but there are others of you that may be shy to this.... don't be. :) I've had over 2000 visits to my site which is a feat in itself and it's because of your loyalty that I've managed to do this.

Lastly, I wanted to thank all my loyal blog readers! You help me make my dream of earning online a reality. My two little boys thank you for this.
