Back from Wisconsin!!!

Hello everyone! Glad to be back and sleeping in my own bed! ;) That is really the one thing that I miss the most when I am away from home. My bed! Well and the dog too.

Hubby and I went to Wisconsin to pick up his daughter last week and ended up staying for an extra few days, but that is how is usually goes when we are there. Nothing ever pans out how it was originally supposed to. We had some fun and went to the big fireworks gamboree that they have in Cumberland, WI every year so I at least got to see the fireworks.

Missed the kids terribly though as I was not able to take them with me. Conflicts with visitation and all that good junk. So grandma had them for the rest of the week. Thank God for mother in-laws! (Never thought I would hear those words coming off the tips of my fingers!!!!!)

Hubby worked while we were there to be able to pay for the way back, but unfortunately we are still in the same boat financially. Which is not a penny to our names, but I am trying to get some more posts done for payperpost and bloggerwave, and also blogitive so that I can earn a little cash. Meanwhile hubby will be looking for a job that will allow him to take off for a week at the beginning of August so that we can bring his daughter back home. Not an easy thing to do.

Would be really nice of my ex would catch up on his child support that he owes which is in the $1000 range now. But as my grandpa always says "Wishes in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up faster" so I am not holding my breathe.

I am still doing my PTC, and PTR's and surveys, but am having troubles making minimum payouts on them, so I am still looking for other opportunities that actually make me money, so if any of you that read this have a good legitimate opportunity, please please pass it along!

Catcha Later!

Bloggerwave is up!

Have any of you awesome bloggers heard of Bloggerwave yet? Well now you have! Bloggerwave is a new online blogging site that pays you the blogger to advertise on your blog! They haven't been in business all that long which is what makes me so attracted to it!

Completely free is definitely right up my alley and getting paid for telling all of my loyal readers all about it is just an added bonus on my part. Why don't you come check it out and see what all you can find for making money on your own blog!

P.S. This post sponsored by Bloggerwave.com

Feeling inside out about goals

For some reason today I am in a writing mood. I have already written two articles for Associated Content this morning. Having completed my last product review about 20 minutes ago on TP. Yes, I do mean toilet paper. My mom suggested the idea, and I ran with it. Curiosity has me in this one till the end, just to see how this article will be accepted by the community and the admin as a whole.

I guess you could partly be truthfully saying that I am stubborn. Call me Jackass instead of Jane. Oh well, maybe my idea will pull off and I will get some much needed readership. I was reading another content producers article in which she stated that most of the top rated producers are getting over 500 clicks on their individual articles! Hello, I was happy with 175! I am {dragging balls} as my husband would say. I need more readership if I am going to make my goals. {gasps}

My goals are pretty simple in my opinion. I want to earn the equivalent of a full time job while staying at home. Should be fairly simple with all of my internet savviness. hahaha Or so I thought...but I am finding this harder to acheive than I first thought. I have so far bumped up my daily page rankings, but not to anything that any of the other pro-bloggers would even blink at.

I honestly don't even know if I have made any money with the sidebar ads yet. I haven't even checked them at all. I have been concentrating to much on writing articles, which has proven me that they pay me, and also blogging on here and my other site. Shameless plug coming up... Unique Northern Ramblings it is still in it's starting stages and is more personal than this one, but I do post regularly there, so check it out.

I also have been maintaining a forum Money Opportunities for the last couple of months, that you all are welcome to join and chat with me. I will be maintaining it regularly and welcome anyone to post on there with tips and suggestions and also referral links for good companies. Just please no spamming, as I will delete it. Anything else is excellent!

As some of you may also remember I am an avid fan of PTR email companies. You can also see the links on the sidebar. I sometimes take some time to do these emails, as they add up quickly if I don't stay on top of them. I have a couple of accounts that are close to payout, so I have been working on them a lot lately, hoping to get to redemption so I can post about my experience, so I can pass it on with everyone else. That is my primary goal here, to pass on good and bad experiences with work at home opportunities after all.

I also have 3 kids and a husband that shows up on my doorstep everynight about 8 o'clock and wants to be fed and get some attention, so that keeps me busy too. ;0)

Well, if there is a point to this story, it would be this, I need to aim higher (somehow, this will be figured out) and I suggest to everyone that likes to write to join up with Associated Content. It is free to join and the referral banner is on my sidebar.

Data Strong Hold.com

Datastronghold.com is a virtual font of virtual world information on the internet! You can find a host of articles about a whole range of articles ranging from articles on hacking hotmail and foxfire hosting to how to fix your Windows XP problems with detailed instructions to boot. I had a hard time settling on just one article to promote to my readers as a favorite so I decided to promote a couple of them! lol

Here is the link for the first one that I found rather interesting and informative that I think you all will find to be a good read: Making money with Adsense
This article has good original tips and tricks for little ways to make some money with google's adsense.

Here is the second article that I really liked and found interesting:
Select a web host provider
There are some good tips on how to choose the best web host provider for you and your business or site that you want to run.

I would really recommend checking out some of the articles that are on the site if either of these appealed to you at all. They have a lot of other really well written articles posted that I did not get a chance to read, but I am sure are just as worthy of mention.

Payperpost actually pays!!!!!!!!

Alright here is the deal with all the review me little thingy maboppers on the site now.

I finally got my first payment from Payperpost and want to spread the happy news with everyone else! Go jenny! I have been waiting to promote Payperpost fully until I got my first payment as things were a little sketchy for a while as I got things a little mixed around on my first couple of posts and had a couple rejected as I didn't do things exactly right. {boy are they picky on some things}

I try not to promote websites and money making opportunities until I have been paid, or until I have researched them fully and know that it will be a good prospect for everyone. I don't want someone to jump in whole-heartedly and then find out that it was all a scam and a big old waste of time. That is not what I am hear for. I want all of us to succeed and make a living staying at home. ;0)

I figure if I can do it, anyone can! lol

I am by no means a genius or a guru of any kind. I am just a stay at home mom that is looking for some good opportunities to make some money without spending all my money. So any website that offers me a free opportunity to earn some money for writing some posts is right up my alley. That is exactly what payperpost is all about. They pay you to promote different advertisers on your site.

Not all of the opportunities are going to be open to you at first and not all of them are going to be to your liking either. As you may have noticed, I haven't done more than three opportunities until now. And this post is for my own benefit and to tell other people what payperpost is all about, if they don't already know.

This post has a little review me button at the end that will take you to a special review me page that will have you review my post that you are reading or any other that I have selected that have the same button on them. For every review that is done my tack rating goes up and I will be able to do more opportunities. I can't wait because most of the opportunities that I am really interesting in doing I am not able to do yet.

Now, to be completely honest I have not done a review yet, but when I find a post on a blog that I really like I will certainly do one. I just don't see many bloggers promoting this affiliate program yet. I really don't understand why, as it is a really good program, but it is in it's first stags of progress, so I am sure that more people will be promoting it as it gets more attention.

So, I guess what I am saying is that if you feel that my posts/articles inspire you in some way please show your support and review me. I greatly appreciate everyone's support, and if you are a member of payperpost send me your blog link and I will do a review for you also. I always try to pay back any support that is given to me in kind.

Best wishes to all. And make sure to check out this great program.

Suggestions about this blog???

OK I am opening myself up for comments here and I am asking everyone that stops by to tell me what I could change and what I should keep the same. As some of you that are regular visitors to my site may have noticed, I change up my site pretty regularly. This has become a habit of mine since starting this blog. I actually kind of like it, but it also takes away a lot of time that I probably could be using for a lot more lucrative ventures. Maybe, maybe not...

Anyways...here is what I am wondering...am I hurting my own readership by sprucing things up all the time and changing things around, or do people just not really care, or do some people like it? Is this something that will affect me in the long run and my blog status, or will it not matter either way?

Any suggestions and comments are very much appreciated, and I will consider all of them very seriously, and I thank you all in advance.

Pondering in windy ND...

In it for the MONEY Honey

2 of my favorite things
Are you in this for the money or the honey{human bonding relationships}? Do you blog just for the fun of it or do you blog for the money? Or do you do both?

Can you walk that fine line in between the two? Can you succeed in having a blog that you enjoy and that is personal to you, but still make money of from too?

It SHOULD be possible, IS possible right? Why not!!!

I shouldn't have to have posts on SEO marketing techniques {of which frankly I know little or nothing about, it is all gibberish to me},or something similar just an example, for people to want to come and read my words and thoughts.

I do know that without readership I will never get anywhere and without loyalty I am doomed.....failure is not an option for me and never has been.

That is why I will always stay loyal and true to the people that have helped me to even get this far into my blogging and all of the realizations that have come with it. I have learned a couple of lessons since logging on and starting to blog for myself. Not all of them have been easy for me, especially the patience part, that has never been my strong suit. But they are well learned and I will continue to pass them on and share my experiences.

Share on faithful ones share on!
Catch you later!

Blogging Traffic Sites

I have had the priviledge of being the visitor on some very excellent blogs recently and just wanted to give some shout outs to some of those blogs for all of you interested in something new!

Marc is one of those bloggers that can find the words for just about everything! I found one of his posts especially ran true with me, "Green Eyed Monster", and would love for you all to read it and give him a comment or two if you do stop by and read his blog. I also had to wonder on how small of a world it is, because I used to live in Tempe, AZ and that is where Marc is based. Just a small tid-bit. ;-)

Another great blog that I have been reading lately is from Marie I personally love reading personal blogs! I myself write some pretty personal stuff on here sometimes, but not as close to the heart as some! I have to admire the strength it takes to put yourself out there for the world to see. Please leave a comment if you stop by, she is a very nice lady.

If you like blogs about how to make your blog better or how to get more traffic to your sites, try chilledbeer's blog
Chilledbeer He is a rather new blogger like myself, but from reading articles and posts that he has done, and also from skipping over into his other blogs, he has learned alot in just a short few months and is someone that we could all probably learn from! Check him out!

I also found a funny blog with some good jokes and posts that I found rather funny and have visited a couple of times that I thought was good. Check it out at
Wasting-your-time I especially like the article on "Why I Am As Nice As Possible", good reading, and the reading test is hilarious!

Now I have to tell all of you that I found all of these sites while getting traffic to my own blog here. All of these sites where on blogexplosion! I love that site! I finally got approved so now maybe some other people will be coming and reading!

Leave me some comments if you liked my suggestions! Or even if you didn't. I like to hear that someone is reading my blog! I think we all do, to be honest. ;-)
JennyB

Blogexplosion

I have signed up for this program called blogexplosion.com. They send people to your blog in exchange for you visiting other people's blogs. Seems pretty fair. So far I have run across some pretty strange people, and some pretty normal people.

And yes, to be brutually honest, some very boring people that I am wondering why they even blog.

I guess there are probably some people out there that probably wonder the same thing about me too, though.

I guess to each his own. I have bookmarked a couple of the more memorable sites and will add their links on the sidebar in the next day or two, or maybe later today if I can get the site to work right for me.

You should all check this out though if you are interested in seeing all of the different blogs that are out there and getting traffic to your own blogs. It is totally free and easy to do. By the time the counter runs down you can usually read the first page of the blog and see if you would be interested in ever coming back to that blog ever again.

I am also trying to be a "responsible blogger" and leaving comments on some of the sites that I have visited today so that these people know that, yes, there is someone out there actually reading their thoughts. ;-)

Have a good one.

Am I really that ignorant?

I have been in correspondence of sorts with a fellow blogger for about a month and a half now by the name of Jose. Hope you don't mind that I used your name! ;-)

Anyways, I have come to the conclusion that when I took on blogging that I had no idea how big the concept really was. I thought that I would get on here and type in my thoughts and traffic would come and I would correspond with people all over the world and hopefully maybe influence someone in a good way.

I have in my own little way done that, but not as much as I have really wanted to. I guess it would be appropriate to say that I feel into the old hype of "If you build it they will come.".

Unfortunately it does not work that easily. Networking and links are hard work and not easy. To me it is frustrating. I get looped into the "bad link" sites that get you no exposure for a lot of work and little return.

I have to hand it to my blogging buddy Jose for finding his way into all the right places. He has become a PROBLOGGER since starting to blog in just the last couple of months. I wish him all the success in the world.

Jose is an inspiration to me, that it can be done. I am even more determined to make this happen for me now. Maybe not problogger status, but something close. lol Whatever that may be.

Paid email in's and out's

Just some old everyday advice and tips that I have noticed in the last couple of days shlogging through the great big world of PTR emails.

1} DSL or Broadband are a great big plus now a days for paid email programs!!!! Holy crap do these guys send out a bunch of emails!!! My poor internet server is screaming for me to LET UP ALREADY! I have been overwhelmed already in my first couple of days by emails because I guess 'searching' is the new 'in' thing with the paid email programs now a days.

2} Be an honest paid email clicker. Don't have more than 10 windows open at a time and actually do a search on those new search engines! You might actually be surprised at what you will find on that brand new little engine that is overloaded with all that crap that the huge ones are!

3} The above rule and tip is the very same reason why I am now finding myself overloaded with paying emails. I click on all the paid links and also the little reciprocal links that are in the paid links themselves and always do a very thorough valid search. The little extra time spent doing this will make a huge windfall in your bank account or should I say 'email account'?

4} Experiment, experiment, experiment! I am already going to be dropping a couple of ptr email companies that I just signed up for because they do not send enough emails for me to even follow through with a banner impression campaign ad that I had talked about earlier on my blog. I can't afford to even search for the paper that I wrote my password down on to click on their email.

5} Promote your links. Enough said I guess.

6} Check your emails often. Good emails are sent often, but the links don't usually last often. A lot of people check their email account often just for these links. They can't boost your account in just a couple of emails and save you loads of time.

Well that is a start. When I think of some more good ones, I will surely pass them along.

Please note that I only left one banner running off to the right. They are the only ones, beside jerseydevilemails that send a steady stream of paying emails into my account right now. I am averaging over 50+ from polarbearclicks.com at the rate of .02 right now. I am very pleasantly pleased with this company.

Have a great night. Going back to check more emails.

New facepaint for the blog

Hey all bloggers that are out there blogging away today. If you have stopped by before this, you will most likely notice the different makeup I put on today. I got sick of the old stuff.

You could safely say that my mother has gotten me hooked onto paid emails again!!! Cursed her be!!! lol

No, to be honest I have been plugging away at them for several years off and on trying to figure out a good way to go about them without feeling like I am just wading through quicksand without no breathing tube.

You will soon find yourself swarmed with paying emails after you sign up for some of these programs if you have ever had the opportunity to try this line of work. I do suggest getting another email account as you will sometimes find yourself overloaded with the multiplying little buggers and your local servers will be cussing you out big time with the overload.

I have figured out that I will use my lower pay out companies that over banner rotation for points or cash to advertise this very site and also my forum that I run also, that way it is more logical to actually click on these emails instead of them sending me $1 every other week.

I would much rather have people signing up for more valuable stuff like say associated content, where they actually care about the little people out here in the world and pay us for our opinions! I love them guys!

Don't get me wrong, I love the paid emails too and don't want to discourage anyone from signing up for them, as they do also bring in a little bit of extra cash when needed, but they will most likely not make you rich, by anybody's standards, not even mine, and they are pretty low. ;-)

Check out some of the links that I put on and see what you think. I know that $.01 doesn't seem like much, but when you think of it as FREE ADVERTISING IN RETURN, then it actually seems like not such a bad deal.

Check you all later.

Review my posts

increase blog traffic
Payperpost has come up with a great opportunity for bloggers like myself to come up with more traffic for their sites and also to help with financing at the same time. I really can find no reason why this would not be a win-win situation for anyone!

You place a little tracking bar and a banner in your posts and you have people review your posts that you make and you earn money and you earn traffic.

A perfect win-win situation in my book any day of the week, or the weekend for that matter.

Anytime that I can refer people to a good program that pays people for an honest days effort for work that they do and for reading good quality content that other hard working people like myself put out there is something that I will always be willing to put out there.

I can really not see a reason why not to participate in this program. There are no drawbacks to this program, except you might run across an uncouth blogger/reviewer that just does not want to honestly review people for their effort and abilities.

Fortunately their are enough of us honest bloggers out there to counteract those dishonest ones.

New published content!

Check out my recently published content on AC:

Saturday Nite Live Features Bismarck, ND's Snow Angels Record

Payperpost.com is up to something!

PayPerPost
Payperpost.com up to something is the upcoming few weeks!!! None of us bloggers know exactly what it is, but we are all left up to our collective imaginations to speculate as to what it just might be!

Well no one has ever accused me of have an under active imagination before so I hereby offer my opinion of what they might be up to!

I think that the company is finally going to be going out of beta! They will be fixing all of their sign-up bugs, of which I was one of the unfortunates, and they will make the site run just a little bit smoother and easier for all of us bloggers out there that are blogging for dollars for their advertisers.

I for one can't wait for the beta phase to end and for the real fun to begin! Imagine all of the new fun to begin. A new dashboard, with loads of new features, automatic emails, with all of the new opportunities that would maybe be customized to what you already blog about and are good at.

What advertiser wouldn't want a blogger to blog about what they are already good at?

That would be the ideal situation for both bloggers and advertisers. Then we wouldn't have to scroll through all the open opportunities trying to select which ones would be open for us and messing up the ones that we are not qualified for in the first place.

I am wiggiling with excitement waiting to see what payperpost has in store!

Payperpost.com

Payperpost.com is another pay per post blogging site that I have found that I am hoping lives up to their word. Why don't you all join me there to see if this is a legit company. I have not heard anything bad in my researching so far. So all is good so far.

Maybe I AM wrong?!

Just wanted to pop my head in and say hello to all the cyber people out there today. I am having one of those days where my husband thinks I can do no right, and my kids are getting on my very last nerve.

Know what I mean? Frustrating and not to say the least infuriating!!!

I am trying to get all this internet stuff going and all he can complain about is that I am on the computer too much. Well..... need I say again, it is internet stuff! ugghh

I don't know what to tell him when he asks what I am doing, because he doesn't understand what I am talking about when I say that I am blogging and typing articles for associated content online and getting paid for it.

All he sees is that I am only bringing in just a little bit at a time and that I am not getting very far.

What I see is that I am slowly building up my experience and online content so that hopefully in the (near) future I will be able to get myself into a good paying full time online job that will pay me just as much if not more than a job that I have to get up and go out into the world and interact with all the other sociopaths that might be out there!

Well, maybe not sociopaths, but there are a lot of weird people out there that I just don't want to deal with all of these people on a daily basis, if I don't have to.

I want to be my own boss, answerable to myself and no one else. Is that so wrong? I don't really think so.

Maybe I am wrong.

Does anyone Payperpost?

Do any of you payperpost out there? I am experience very seriously pissing me off! Lag times when trying to log on and am having a very hard time getting to where I can register my blog to even get started!!!!!!!

How frustrating! I am really on a roll of wanting to spout off opinions and evaluations of anything and everything at the moment and I want to get this new venture started and on it's way while I have the "vibe" so to speak on high......

Hmmmm.....

I will keep trying....

Later
