Making Some Changes

Today I was looking over the Paid to Click and GPT sites that I have linked in the "Make Money With These Sites" section in this blog. Sadly, quite a few of these sites have shut down or, in some cases, are no longer sites that I make money with.

Over the next few days I am going to be taking these sites down as well as adding some great new sites that I have recently found so please be sure to check back soon!

Only 3 More Shopping Days Left!

With Christmas fast approaching, I have to admit that I still have not finished my Christmas shopping. Although this year I have done a lot better than in years past. I usually START my Christmas shopping only a few days before Christmas. But this year my dad is the only person I still have to buy gifts for.

I already know what I want to get him. I just hope that the weather cooperates long enough for me to get over to K-Mart after all the kids go home tomorrow to pick it up.

A few months ago when Dad was helping us remodel the kitchen he broke his cordless screwdriver, so I wanted to get him a new one. The one I found at K-Mart is a Craftsman 3.6 volt Cordless Screwdriver. It is really nice and it's only $20!

If you are a procrastinator like me and still have some Christmas shopping to do, why not pick up your last minute gifts from Kmart? K-Mart has 25,000 quality items to choose from, all under $25! You can also go to KMart.com and sign up to receive emails letting you know about any online only sales and store deals as well as special store hours. Merry Christmas and Happy Shopping!

Paid By ChaCha!!

Yesterday, I received my first payment ($135.16) from ChaCha! As I have mentioned before, I started working as an Expeditor for ChaCha back in October.

There are 2 ways to get paid at ChaCha, "Pay Me Now" and "Pay Me Monthly". I have chosen the Pay Me Monthly option. That means that if I earn over $100 by the 15th of the month, I will get my payment directly deposited into my back account 5-7 days later (after the 15th). I didn't reach payout in November because I had been sick for awhile and didn't log into ChaCha that often. This month I am on track to do about $200 or more so I will definitely be receiving another payment in January.

Web Hosting Geeks

If you are looking to buy your own domain name, or would like to get more information on new web hosting, before making any decisions I would recommend checking out WebHostingGeeks.com.

Web Hosting Geeks offers a list of the ten top rated web hosting providers. Each one is ranked on a 5 star point system and gives you important information about the different features offered by each provider, such as traffic, space, the number of domain names you can get and more. You can check their prices and read independent reviews. Also, speaking of prices, all of the Top Ten providers offer their services for under $10 a month. That is a great price!

I have been considering new web hosting for this blog for quite awhile now. One of the main reasons I have, up until this point, declined to do so was because I thought that it would be a lot more expensive. I didn't want all of the money that I was earning online to to have to then go towards paying my monthly hosting fees.

After taking a long look at the Web Hosting Geeks top ten sites, I think that if I do decide to change web hosting providers I would go with Bluehost. Many reviewers have said that they have a simple script which, for someone like myself that is still new to HTML and all of that, would make things easier. But if nothing else, at least I know that I am now better informed of the options that are available.

Setting A Monthly Goal

Up until now, I have been working online here and there in my spare time and have made what I would consider a decent amount of money. Usually $200-$300 a month.
Starting this month I will be devoting more time to working online- probably a few hours a night, as I still run a daycare from home full time during the day- and setting a financial goal of $600 a month.

As of today (for the month of December) I have earned just over $275 and am right on track to meet my goal. I am at $140 with ChaCha, $55 with PayU2Blog, $55 with paid blogging and about $25 dollars from GPT/PTC.

LA Police Gear

LAPoliceGear.com has wide variety of items available, not only for law enforcement, military and Fire/EMS professionals, but the general public as well. They have a great 5.11 Tactical Series that includes everything from t-shirts, vests and pants to boots, watches, eyewear and more!
These could make great Chritmas gifts for the man (or woman- yes, they have a womans tactical section too) in your life.

Right now La Police Gear has a great special going on. Buy any TWO 5.11 Tactical clothing items and you will get free shipping (using the coupon code "gear"), free return shipping and a free hat! Also, if you buy over $125 of 5.11 items you will receive a free travel mug with your order.

Bowling For Cash Payment

Today I received my November payment from Bowling For Cash. I had mentioned previously that I haven't been spending a lot of time working the GPT and PTC sites. I am still having trouble getting offers to credit on most of the sites, but in November I began answering the trivia questions daily (and completing a few offers) on some of my favorite GPT sites and was able to earn a little bit of cash plus some Amazon and Walmart gift cards, which I have already used to buy a few Christmas presents.
