About my absence from the blogosphere…

As some of you may have noticed I have not been around for a while. It has to do with a lot of things, back to school preparation, a bit of illness, and general lost of hope for making money online. Our economy is at its worse and so are my personal finances. I just can’t afford to sit on the computer for hours on end anymore with no real profit potential for the near future. So it is out to look for a job for me.

Blogging is not as easy as it seems. It requires a great deal of time, kudos to all of you who keep at it. There are some great blogs out there. I will continue to stop by my favorites and post occasionally as time permits.

Good luck and happy trails to all!

Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk – Needs Volunteers

Alzheimer’s is a terrible disease that affects millions of people every year and to which none of us are immune. Alzheimer’s is the 6^th leading cause of death in the US.

The Alzheimer's Memory Walk is taking place in hundreds of communities across the nation to help increase awareness and funds for Alzheimer in the US. There is also an Iraq Memory Walk taking place out of the Ali Base, Iraq. The money raised goes toward research to treat and prevent Alzheimer’s and for programs to help out those already touched by the disease.

The average walk is usually about 2-3 miles long and held on a beautiful autumn morning. Volunteering does not only consist of walking. Help is needed in other areas. If you are unable to walk please consider contacting your local chapter to help out in other areas. Many are in need of team captains (don’t need to walk), event planning volunteers, and local event committee volunteers. No age limits apply.

If you feel up to the walk it is easy to sign-up. There are over 600 communities involved across the US. Starting your own team is easy and it comes with your very own web site to use as your teams headquarters!

The web site is jammed packed with helpful tools to assist you whether you are walking or a team captain. There is also a store for gear, cute croc charms and a whole lot more.

There is nothing going on close to my area so I joined the virtual walk. The virtual walk is a great way to help without leaving your home. Of course it does not help in the expansion of my bottom...if you know what I mean!

Happy Volunteering!

Update - InboxDollars.com

Flexy8.com

Another great image form Flexy8.com. Thought it was appropriate since I haven't been around for like a week. Just finished catching up with all my Entrecard drops, 252 drops later!

Also, I have been checking out the latest money making opportunity that is, InboxDollars.com. Let the truth be known…I am addicted to the games. Making money for playing games is only possible if an upgrade is purchased. I hate that. The minimum is $10, paid by PayPal or credit card, which the site will match. The cheapest games are $1 to play and you may win$3.50. Practice games are available before playing for money and your score is given with a percentage of how well you did compared to others. It gives you a pretty good idea of how well you would do if actually playing for cash. Play is against another player that is matched up to your skill level. I have been playing the free version, not sure I want to upgrade. It is almost like gambling, don’t you think?

Other than that, I like the site. I have made a little money reading e-mails, it’s easy, a couple of clicks. It is also only worth a couple of cents, every penny counts, literally! Surveys are anywhere from $0.25 to $2 so far. Signed up for a few survey sites I wasn’t aware of, made a few bucks there. I do not like filling out forms and trial offers so I haven’t done any of that, but if you like it there are many offers available.

In conclusion, I would say that you will most definitely not get rich here, but a few bucks here and there are possible. A few is better than none and everything adds up!

There is no adware or spam associated with this site or the download for the games. You will receive the money making e-mails to read, but that is it. Referrals only pay if they remain active in the program. So, please if you are thinking about it giving it a try, use my referral link!

Happy clicking!

Make Money Online - InboxDollars.com

I just signed up with this service. Took a quick survey that was actually just providing my profile info and made $0.50 plus my $5 sign-up bonus. Not bad, as surveys go. Seems like a good place to make a few extra bucks. They also pay for playing games. Gonna give that a try right away!

They guarantee 100% free offers, which are the only type I do. I hate filling out all those spammy offers. I will update on how I like this site after I complete some offers. So far, the surveys are quick and easy, and PAID! They pay for referrals, so please sign-up using my links! Thanks!

Happy money making!

Mystery Shopping Scam Alert!

Watch out! I just found out about this scam taking place that uses the name of American Consumer Opinion. ACP is a site I have recommended previously for making money taking paid surveys. Here is the quote from their website:

“WARNING!Mystery Shopper Scam

A fraudulent Canadian company is using the American Consumer Opinion® name to mail counterfeit checks for thousands of dollars, instructing you to deposit the check and then wire part of the money back to them. The company falsely claims the money you wire will go towards your training to become a mystery shopper. This is a criminal and illegal scam. Do not attempt to cash or deposit the check. Do not wire any money to anyone. Membership in American Consumer Opinion® is always free. ”

Always remember, you never have to pay for legitimate money making opps and never, ever get involved with anything that involves wiring money or cashing checks for them! Those are scams every single time!

For more about scams and surveys see my other posts:

• Scams in Your Inbox – Phishing E-mails
• Work at home Opps in your Inbox – HighestPaySurveys.com
• The Buzz on Paid Surveys

Be safe! If you have any doubts at all follow the safety first guidelines:

• You can check registration data here such as name, address and phone number. http://www.whois.net/
• Updated link to The BBBOnLine "Check out a Business or Charity”
• Google the site name or registered domain owner and check out the buzz!
• Leave a post about the site you are curious about and I will do all the work for you! Chances are I already have checked it out.

Thanks for reading, and happy trails!

Make Money Blogging – PepperjamNetwork

Hurry while offer lasts! During the month of July PepperjamNetwork will pay publishers a $10 sign-up bonus! You must click through the special “$10 bonus” link.

PepperjamNetwork is a new affiliate marketing network that promises to breach the communication gap between affiliates and merchants through the Pepperjam Chat. Pepperjam Chat allows affiliates and merchants to be in touch in real time. PJN also addresses the lack of transparency found in other programs.

PJN is not just online marketing; it is an affiliate program management tool. The site includes reports and a resource center that are very supportive. At the resource center you will find help in the form of links where affiliates can make additional money and educational sources. Their goal for the resource center is to make every associate a ‘Super Affiliate’ and help you make tons of money! Cool, I’ll take that!

They value the blogging community and reciprocate with great incentives. Just take a look at this offer closely, yes you sign up and get $10, but not only does PJN get exposure I get $7 for you signing up! They are helping me make more money by giving you a great incentive to sign-up through my link. Awesome!

I personally like the fact that I can pick the programs I want to participate in and their interest in transparency. There are some great merchants on PJN (exclusive merchants!) and a great many of them.

I have just started out and will be posting later on about how it works for me. If I make any money, you will be the first to know!!

Don’t forget! You will only receive the $10 if you sign up through the “$10 Bonus” link. Unfortunately, when I signed up I messed that up somehow, and will not be receiving my $10. Don’t let the same thing happen to you!

Happy Blogging!

Make Money Blogging - Shopping Ads

ShoppingAds allows you to make money by displaying related merchant ads on your blog. The publisher (blogger) may choose what type of ads to display by the use of keywords. The ads are live and you may customize them to fit the style of your blog. There is also an affiliate program. The money is made by CPC (cost per click) or CPA (cost per acquisition). Joining is free and there is no future costs associated with the program.

Take note you start of as a ‘Standard Publisher’ and then depending on your blog traffic you may reach ‘Premium Publisher’ status. It does not take long and this blog qualified, so don’t let that stop you from joining. The difference between the two is that as a ‘Premium Publisher’ you may earn money both from CPC and CPA where as a ‘Standard Publisher’ you may only earn from CPA.

I joined as an alternative to Google Ads which I do not like so much. ShoppingAds has top merchants and it is easier to pick what type of ads to run. If you decide to join, please!! Use my link from the sidebar so I can get the referral commission of 5%. Just click on the ShoppingAds banner on the part that says “Ads by ShoppingAds” and that will direct you to their site. Thanks!!

Happy Trails!
