Earning Money at Home

                Earn money at home using your computer Blogging.  We're not talking huge money here, but every little bit helps.
It takes a lot of work to make a profitable blog, and I'm far from an expert on this. I'll probably never be an expert because other aspects of my life are far more important to me.
But I will say this--the whole idea of making money through a blog is just super-cool to me. Maybe I'm just easily amused.                                                                                                                                                                  Be Sure to Leave Your Comments!

Make Money On Line with Adgitize Ads

Adgitize
Some persons may know already about Adgitize, the Network with World Class Advertising on a Blogger's Budget (only 14 $ for one month, exposure on 1.500 member blogs!).
Here are some tips to get more out of this traffic and money making program:
How to get more or even all points daily?
You get points for publish one quality article each day. No matter how many blogs you add, you only get 100 points for one article (if you have two blogs and publish on each a post, you don't get 200 points!)

Advice: Publish daily ONE article!
There are at the moment more than 120 advertisers active in Adgitize. If you want to reach the 100 points for each day, you have to click on 100 ads that are available by "chain-clicking" the members web pages. When you reached 100 advertisers, the number 100 will show up (there are steps between already like 5, 10, 15, 25, 40, 60...)!

Advice: Click daily all available ads!
Increase your Page and Ad views with the help of Entrecard. If you join Entrecard, you can drop cards on other blogs. Usually most of the members drop their cards back on your blog which means you get additional traffic. This increases your Page view and Ad view points in Adgitize and gives you some more comments and followers for your blog!
Double your Ad views by publishing two Adgitize Ad Groups on your blog/website. You are allowed to show 10 ads. So you can choose one single ad group and another group would be with nine ads. Or you can choose different ad groups but in a sum it should be not more than 10 ads!

Advice: Put two times the Ad code on your blog!
Advice: Advertise with Adgitize and get 100 additional advertising points (50+ visits/clicks on your ads are needed)!
There is no fixed price for the points. The amount of your earnings is depending on the daily available amount from the advertisement revenue from Adgitize. There is no guarantee that these number might be the same in the future!
Here are some figures which have been published by the founder of Adgitize, Ken Brown and from my own experience:
0 to 99 points: 0.01 $

100 to 199 points: 0.02 - 0.03 $

200 to 299 points: 0.15 - 0.28 $

300 to 400 points: 0.30 - 0.50 $

400 to 500 points: 0.51 - 0.88 $
How easy can it be to achieve more than 200 points each day to earn a decent amount?
Look at my advice list and you see that you have to do only two things daily!
Publish ONE article on your blog - 100 points
Click all available ads - another 100 points
Get more traffic/page views
100 points are available when you get daily around 10.000 page views
Advertise on Adgitize and get the spent money one month later back:

Like you can see, you can earn around 35 to 60 cents more each day when you would advertise (and visit other blogs + blog yourself each day), this would mean you earn 11 $ - 18 $ more each month. And one month advertisement is just 14 $!
Find referrals for Adgitize and earn additional up to 5 $ for their first advertisement and if they prolong their advertisement, you will get 1$ for every monthly renewal!
I have a special offer for Entrecard members:
You will get
500 ECs for joining Adgitize (putting the code on your blogs) and

If you decide to advertise with Adgitize
you will get 3 $ via paypal (after approval from Adgitize)

Make Money On Line Working From Home

                                                                                                                                                                            Breaking News: Mom makes $379/day Working From Home
Mom said to be making as much as $379+ a day working online from home using Google’s simple sponsored ad program.  Is working from home next the gold rush?

For Katie Matthews it sure is. Katie, a regular mom from Orlando, Florida is now thriving, in the middle of an economic recession working from the comfort of her own home.
Katie said: "I earn about $379/day on average working on my laptop at home in my spare time.  I just post ads on Google which takes about a few minutes but you have to have lots of traffic from of-site clicks or visitors who come visit and support you. So if you wish to try Google ads and see if they work for you then give it a try Who know you may be earning lots of money in a few months.. But it may differ for different people and different blogs!



But Katie's life wasn't always so prosperous. Her recent employer, a well-known insurance agency, did some downsizing and let her go.



Her husband James now became their only source of income, which they both knew they couldn't live on. That is why Katie took the job at the insurance agency to begin with. They needed extra money and they needed it fast.

Refill your Ink Cartrige and start saving Money

                                                                                                                                                                       Now you can buy a refill kit that can be bought from the market for a very low cost and you can refill the ink cartridge yourself. The refill kit for such ink cartridges are equipped with the proper instructions on how to refill the cartridge and do not require any special skills. However be careful when selecting your refill kit try to buy one that has been made especially for your printer.

The ink can be refilled in a matter of minutes as the kit would be equipped with enough ink to last you for a few refills, a syringe to inject the ink into the cartridge, a tool to help you remove the top, gloves and the requisite instructions. Some people using this refilling kit for the first time would be worried but be rest assured as it is very easy to refill the ink yourself. Do not make the mistake of using ink that is not compatible with your printer as this could cause permanent damage as the ink may stick to the printer resulting in color distortion.

You also can take your empty printer ink cartridge and get it refilled at a local retailer that specializes in ink cartridge refills as he would ensure that you get the right cartridge refill...Walgreens also refills ink cartridges . Even though refilling the cartridge by yourself would not cost as much  you might still miss out on the finer points, but even getting it refilled from a local retailer would save you a lot of money, sometimes as much as 70% of the price of a new cartridge

By getting the cartridge refilled and not buying a new one, you are not only doing yourself a favor by saving money, you are actually helping the environment by reducing the amount of garbage that goes into landfills each day. The main raw material used in the manufacturing of these printer ink cartridges is non-biodegradable such as plaster and that takes several years to disintegrate

Facebook co-founders give $170K to pro-pot measure

          
                                                                                                                                                                                         SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — California's ballot measure to legalize marijuana has a new friend: Facebook co-founder Sean Parker has given $100,000 to back the proposal.
Parker's donation was reported in Proposition 19 campaign finance filings this week.
And he's not the first big Proposition 19 donor with ties to the social networking site. Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz has made two donations totalling $70,000, including a $50,000 contribution last month.
Neither Parker nor Moskovitz are still with Palo Alto-based Facebook, but both still have ownership stakes. Recent estimates put the value of the privately held company as high as $33.7 billion.
"What's interesting here is that (Parker) is a member of the generation that really gets it," said Stephen Gutwillig, a spokesman for the Drug Policy Alliance, the main beneficiary of Parker's contribution. "We think he's pivotal to the future of drug policy reform in the country."
The 30-year-old served as Facebook's first president and helped transform the company from dorm-room project to big business. Parker and Moskovitz have become household names since the recent release of "The Social Network." The film chronicling the contentious origins of Facebook was No. 1 at the box office last week.
Pop musician and actor Justin Timberlake plays Parker in the movie, which portrays him as a hotshot who convinces Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to push out his friend from the burgeoning company.
In a recent Vanity Fair profile, the media-shy entrepreneur is described as a computer-programming prodigy with an uncanny knack for anticipating online trends and a penchant for designer clothes and partying.
At age 19, Parker helped develop Napster, the music-sharing software that turned the recording industry upside-down. He is now a partner at Founders Fund, a Silicon Valley venture capital firm.
Parker did not immediately respond to e-mails seeking comment.
About $1.5 million of the $2.4 million raised so far in support of Proposition 19 has come from the measure's main sponsor, Oakland medical marijuana entrepreneur Richard Lee. The only other six-figure donation not from Lee came from adult entertainment entrepreneur Phil Harvey, who gave $100,000.
Parker's donation came shortly after the Yes on 19 campaign committee reported having meager cash on hand heading into the final weeks before the election. The money from Parker and Harvey went to a separate committee to fund the Drug Policy Alliance's work on behalf of the measure.
Much of the money will go toward a get-out-the-vote campaign targeting young voters and voters of color, Gutwillig said.
Facebook recently came under fire from some marijuana advocates who claimed it was turning away advertising on the site in support of Proposition 19. Facebook said in a statement that company policy prohibits images of drugs, drug paraphernalia or tobacco in paid advertising but that ballot measure supporters were still free to advertise using different images.                                                                                                                                                             Be Sure to Leave Your Comments!

Blogging Tips on bringing more traffic to your Blogs

                   There are probably people out there who want to read your blog--maybe thousands of them. How do I know this? Think about it—at any given moment, there are millions of people online. Chances are, some of them are interested in what you have to say (or write, or post). I’m assuming, of course, that you are posting high quality content.

But what if you have no advertising budget for your blog? No problem! Here are some free methods you can use to get more traffic to your blog.
1. Social Networks:
Most of you are members of social networking sites (such as myspace, facebook, friendster, etc). If not, you should be. This is one of the easiest ways to get your core group of readers started. Just announce your blog or post your updates in shout-outs, bulletins, etc. Those in your network already have some kind of connection to you (even if they are just “chat mates”), so many will take the time to read your blog.
2. Blog Directories


If you look down on the right side of this blog, you’ll see all of the blog directories I’ve registered with (such as blogcatalog.com).
Blog directories help you in a couple of ways. Your blog will get hits from those searching the directory (especially from other members of the directory). In addition, adding your link to a directory helps improves your blog’s ranking in search engines (SEO).
Most directories only require a reciprocal link or banner. The registration takes a few minutes, but it is a worthwhile investment of your time. Once you get registered and put the banner on your blog, the work is over. The directory does the rest—most of them will list your recent posts in the directory.

3. Forums/Message Boards
There are multiple online forums for every imaginable topic. Find a few that are related to your blog’s topic and join. Many forums allow you to put your blog address in your “signature.” Many allow you to post links, especially if you post an article that is related to the discussion. Just be sure to follow the forum’s rules and do not flood it with irrelevant links.
4. Entrecard

Entrecard is basically a banner exchangeservice. You earn nd use credits which are used to buy banner ads on other users blogs....

Google has an URL Shortner

It’s called Goo.gl, and according to Google it has several advantages over competing services. Here is a quote from the Google announcement .
There are many shorteners out there with great features, so some people may wonder whether the world really needs yet another. As we said late last year, we built goo.gl with a focus on quality. With goo.gl, every time you shorten a URL, you know it will work, it will work fast, and it will keep working. You also know that when you click a goo.gl shortened URL, you’re protected against malware, phishing and spam using the same industry-leading technology we use in search and other products.
 Goo.gl is connected to your Google account, so it will track clicks for you automatically.
