The working dillema

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.

How to thank a blogger

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
