Great for advertisers too!

I’ve been so concerned about reaching out to my fellow bloggers about joining up with SocialSpark.com to make money blogging, that I completely forgot to reach out to those who have something they really want advertised.

As I go around looking at other’s blogs I’ve come across a lot of blogs that are trying to sell products that they make, or are trying to get traffic to their site to hear their views. If you really want your traffic to boom and your sells to sky rocket then you should consider joining in with the SocialSpark community. You will have hundreds of bloggers anxiously ready to type great reviews about what you want them to. You will even have the opportunity to sponsor a blog.

I have come across some great things that I enjoy that I personally would love to blog about. The first one is Everyday Minerals, which is the makeup that I use. Blurb, which is a website that can turn your blog into a hardcover book. While I’m sure they’re getting great business, imagine how much more they could get if they took their advertising to the max by having bloggers advertise for them.

Imagine how much more business you could get if you were a part of a growing community of people eager to help you out.

It really is a cool community!

Our economy has just been going downhill. Gas prices are starting to make things hard on everybody in our nation. Who wants to go on a vacation when you have to pay $4.00 per gallon? Heck, I don’t even want to drive to the store or even start my car for how much we’re paying for gas. It’s getting harder and harder and it’s time we start looking for ways to bring in a little extra money that can help us through this crisis. Or maybe you’re making the perfect amount of money every month, but you don’t have any leftover for savings for vacations or college funds. I will testify that what I’m about to tell you about will help you out with these things.

I’ve talked about SocialSpark before, but this was before my blog was approved. I have now had the opportunity to actually start taking opportunities and writing about them on my blog for money. I’ve been choosy and try to pick out opportunities that in some way apply to my life or my blog. I don’t want to scare all you readers away with a bunch of advertisements! I feel privileged that through SocialSpark I am able to continue to do what I love while making some extra money.

I can’t express enough how cool their community setup is. It’s connecting advertisers and bloggers together. Their code of ethics makes me proud to be a part of their community.
Their code of ethics are: -100% Audit-able In-Post Disclosure
-100% Transparency
-100% Real Opinions
-100% Search Engine Friendly

If you’ve been interested in making money off of your blog to survive in this crazy economy of ours you definitely should check out SocialSpark

Never go to the bank again

I don’t know if I’ve talked much about my job, but I work at home. I am an accountant and currently am managing my grandparent’s books for their businesses in Nevada from my home in Oregon. I love it! I love that I am able to stay home my kids and still do the job that I love. There are many downfalls to the system that we have going on here. I would have to say that the most major downfall of our system is the banking. We have checks that are flowing in all throughout the month. The banks for these companies are in Nevada and the income is being sent to me in Oregon. The procedure that we’ve been using is I send deposits off to Nevada. It can sometimes take up to 5 days for the deposits that I send off to clear the accounts. That can be frustrating. Especially when people are calling asking why their checks haven’t cleared.

I came across a solution and I think it is definitely something that can work wonders for us. I had no clue about this, but there has actually been an amazing system online with a company called DepositNow since 2004. What they can do for you is make it so you no longer have to leave your house to go to the bank, or in my case wait up to 5 days for my deposits to clear. You simply scan your checks with one of their check scanners, which they sale for 1/2 off of what they retail for, and they deposit it electronically.

If you’re interested in this, or if you know your company might be interested in this please reference my blog and you will receive $25.00 off of a check scanner!!

Are You Going Green?

I really love plants. I’ve tried many, many, many times to have a plant in my house and then end result is never good. My plants die. I’ve never had green thumb and wanted one so bad. My problem is I’d either kill them with kindness, or forget that they need water to survive. Our last plant I actually put outside for some reason and killed it that way.

I hate that. I hate that I can’t have beautiful plants in my home. Plants make a home to me. You go to any of my family’s house and they have beautiful plants all over. Luckily for me, there’s a wonderful company that sells BEAUTIFUL silk plants. They even have bonsai plants, which I think are the coolest things in the world.

Nowadays people are going green. They’re all about preserving our earth and what better way of going green than by using silk plants and trees? They require low maintenance, which is a HUGE plus in my house. Plus with all the allergies that my husband has there’s no safer thing for us. You know all those pesky little bugs that love to come into your house just to get to your plants? You won’t have to worry about that anymore with silk plants. Just check them out, I’ve found a few things I’m really interested in.

If My Pants Could Talk

240x180

I get out of the shower and I walk into my closet and pick out the pants that I want to wear for the day. There they are, my favorite pants. The ones that fit just perfectly. The ones that I love so much. You know, my Dockers. I grab them and I pull them up and off we go to get through what lies ahead of us.

If they could talk you’d hear them screaming as my 9 month old pulled on them. You’d hear them laughing as my 9 month old tickled them. You’d hear them crying as my 9 month old spit up on them and then you’d hear them yelling at the fact that they are now covered in what was supposed to be my 9 month old baby’s dinner. When it came time for my baby to take her nap you’d hear my pants rejoicing with me in the fact that we’re finally having a moment to ourselves.

Dockers contest is a contest which can land you in the spotlight. The participants will shoot their stories as a video and submit them in for the Dockers contest. What kind of a story must you shoot you ask. It’s simple. A story about your pants. If your story is chosen for the Dockers contest you could have a chance at your commercial being shown during the June 13, 2008 episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

If you haven’t realized it yet I LOVE to shop

Every year I have this wonderful idea to wake up as early as I possibly can just to bust through the doors of the store that has the best sale going on. It’s the famous day after our gobble gobble turkey day called Black Friday. I never can get out of the door before 8:00am and usually miss out on those door buster deals. Come cyber monday though and I’m on it! There’s something so much better about shopping from the computer.

Things have changed! Now there’s a website that you can purchase the items that are on sale at 5:00am right from your computer. Who wants to go out in all that crowded mess when you can purchase the items right from the comfort of your home? Not me! The website is already compiling their list of what is going to be on sell this year on Black Friday. Don’t want to keep checking back to see what’s been added? Then enter your email address and they will update you as new ads are added.

They great thing is I can start planning my Christmas shopping now. I’ve already found some great deals that my favorite stores are having. I just might have to stock up on some of the stuff Target has on sale and maybe turn around and double my money on ebay. This definitely is a site worth spending some time on.

Say No To SPAM

This world has now become just one big party on the internet. If you aren’t a part of it it’s like you’re hiding under a rock and are missing out on some the best times. Some of the best friends, some of the best advice, and probably one of the best get aways from life that I’ve found…. sad huh? If you’re not a part of this your missing out on SO MUCH!

Unfortunately, with the way our economy is people are starting to not be able to afford things, and this includes the internet. A very important thing that I personally believe should be in all homes. I mean, let’s face it. Wouldn’t you rather email that crazy aunt of yours instead of making that phone call to check on her?

If you or someone you know cannot afford the high prices of the internet you definitely should be high tailing it to getisp.info. They are a website that can help you find low cost ISP providers. They even have information on a no cost access plan from NetZero. You can’t beat that!

This isn’t all they have to offer. They also have tips on how to speed up your computer, are you tired of all that spam flooding into your email? They can help you with that! If you have a wireless network you need to make sure you’re protected. They got tips for that too!

Head over and start protecting your computer today – or get your friends and family hooked up with the world they’re missing out on!

Shop-a-holic’s Dream!

A wonderful site has been launched in the UK that is every shop-a-holic’s dream! Dealtime is a website that you can get all of your shopping done and you will get the best deal out there! There are so many different categories to choose from electronics to wine. The best part of this website is they search for you for the best deals and link you to them. Just go and check out all the options that you have to choose from when searching for an iPod.

Forget going store to store or website to website searching for that deal. Now you can get it all done in one place. This would be the perfect website to use during the holidays to get all of your shopping done for your friends and family. You wouldn’t even have to leave your house and hit those busy malls, and you’d be getting a much better deal.

One thing I really liked about this website is that they have appliances. If you have a washer or dryer that’s gone out, now you can go here and get the best deal!
