This blog, while a big passion of mine, is very hard to write for. I need new sites to try and the time to do so. If anyone would like to suggest sites that they have had a good experience with or people that would like to write guest posts, I am down for that.
I will keep trying on my own to find new content and I will try to continue to update this blog daily. I just don't want my readers to give up because I can't come up with new content. I have 3 new sites that I need to look at in the coming days and I will post as soon as I have a chance to look into them.

Reinvesting Money Earned Online
There are an awful lot of people online trying to earn money everyday. Everyone that I know starts with the get paid to sites such as MegaTypers, Superpoints, CashCrate, and the like. Out of those people, most of them gave up when they didn't make much and quit trying. A few people I know took the money from those things, blogs, and selling items on eBay and reinvested the money. Those few people are the ones that I looked to when I started and said, "That's what I want to be." Now those people are making a living on the internet and have quit there days jobs (except for one of them). That one that didn't quit his day job is smart and he only works the minimum hours to get health insurance.
Now when I say reinvest this is where it can get a little foggy. Some people take the money and buy items to resell on eBay and others went into stock trading. Auctions and stocks can be some of the most difficult ways to make money. eBay particularly because of the sheer amount of competition and stocks because of our economy. One of my acquaintances did it right (in my opinion), he took the money that he made and bought a domain name and web hosting. He created a site, referred to as a micro niche site, and sold eBooks. Basically he took a very specific subject that people are interested in and found someone that wrote an eBook on the subject. He studied the eBook and the subject for awhile and then created an information site that answers the basic questions people would have. He sold advertising space on the site and earned money from that and then he also earned money from the eBook sales. Anyone that needed more information would buy the eBook.
This wasn't an overnight success and this certainly isn't the last the internet heard of him. He did a lot of work to get traffic to his site and worked on it constantly. When he started to make money from the site, he reinvested into a total of 5 more of these sites. At any given time he has 5 active sites and up to 5 sites ready to go when something goes wrong.
His income isn't anything to shake a stick at either, he is currently making a minimum of $45,000 yearly. That number fluctuates, but he hasn't made less than that. That is how much he needs to live comfortably and any additional money is reinvested into his "company". In his eyes the greatest part of this is that he is making money on autopilot and doesn't have to do much work each day. He is able to work 40 hours a week at his day job and still makes money while on vacation. I can't say that everyone would succeed at this, but it is definitely something to think about. I would like to get into something similar, but I just need to earn the capital before I start.

Make Money on the Side, Easy - MySurvey.com
Incentivized surveys or online surveys as they are most commonly known have been a great way to boost ones income. These are usually done by websites that are given the task by companies to ask people of their opinions. Usually on a certain product or service that has or has yet to come out. Online surveys are VERY easy to do and are generally done in one’s free time.
Online surveys are usually done by stay-at-home mums, students, the elderly and those willing to give their opinions. You get paid a small amount by some surveys, typically $0.50 - $2 at the most. But there are those companies that are willing to pay you more for the work that you put in - usually $2 - $4 more for the same amount of time.
The money that you receive is not what you would normally get through a nine to five work day but it’s certainly uplifting to know that your opinion is much sought after. Imagine that, people are willing to pay you for your opinion!
MySurvey is a worldwide group of consumers from all over who influence future products and services by volunteering to participate in consumer research.
I've used the Australian version of this online survey website and I can vouch for its efficacy. So far I've netted (not grossed) over $95 in over 3 months. Now I know that’s not a lot, but it has its perks. The points that you get can be converted to either;
- PayPal cash;
- Facebook Credits;
- Amazon e-certificates;
- UNICEF
- And much more!
What is interesting about this website is that they ask for your personal details once you’ve finished signing up. The thing is that they are surveys as well. Now, before you get hesitant you can rest assured that it is completely normal for them to ask you this – unlike others. Plus you get points immediately for giving your personal details.
Your home address, phone number, medical history, annual salary, etc. are required for them to direct you to more personalized surveys that match your lifestyle. So pretty much, the more you tell them about yourself the more likely you are to get surveys. Especially the bigger ones that ranges from $3 - $6.
All in all - try it out for yourself - it’s a good way to earn money on the side without it getting too hectic.

Blogger Community: Guest Writers and Followers
Today I was asked two questions that I thought I should share with you guys. MyNameIsEarl asked if he could be a guest writer on my blog, the answer to him and everyone else is ... absolutely! If anyone wants to provide content for my blog, I am very happy to accept that request. The other question was sent in as an email, the person was letting me know that they are following my blog and asked if I would follow them too. The answer might not be the same from all bloggers, but my answer is and always will be yes. If you are willing to follow my blog (which by the way is a huge honor) then I will follow your blog.
Also, I take following very seriously. I have all the blogs I follow bookmarked and I visit each blog every morning. If there are no posts I close it and move to the next one. If someone posted an article I read it and try to comment on the post. The only exception is Saturdays and Sundays, I may not always check my blogs or your blogs on the weekend. I feel that the people I follow and my followers are a community and I will do anything to make sure that the community is active and happy.
Again, I want to thank all of you for reading my blog(s) and joining in the discussion. Thanks to all that have followed me and brought me to where I am now. I enjoy blogging much more than I ever thought I would and seeing the page views go up everyday brings a smile to my face.
