2007

As you have probably noticed, my website is sometimes used to make money through advertising. I belong to a few websites who pay me to blog about topics of my choosing, but PayPerPost is by far the best one there is. Their blog marketing is one of the best that is out there.

I’ve been active with them since about June and I have made over a thousand dollars with them. Now when Krissy first told me about PayPerPost, I thought she was just blowing smoke, because she had made a lot of money with them, but when I tried it I was really surprised about how much money I could make without selling out and writing about things that I normally wouldn’t write about. Yes I wouldn’t word things the way they would like them worded, but I am still posting about something that I would any other time, only I am getting paid for it.

How it works is that you select an opportunity and then you post that opportunity in your blog, if they deny it, you can resubmit and try again, if and when they approve it, thirty days after the entry was posted, you get money sent directly to your PayPal account. It is very easy, and it is a great way to earn some cash.

I love video games. You could probably tell that since I am always talking about Halo, but really I love all types of games. I’ve been looking for some good rpg games, since FFXII wasn’t what I was expecting. The game Magic Stones looks interesting, plus it is free for Windows and Mac, so I might download it after I don’t have so much work to do and give it a whirl.

We brought Bella to the vet tonight because she had an ear infection. We were there for three hours because they were shorthanded and there were twelve people in front of us. Some of them left though, so it might have only been maybe nine or ten. Well we got her ear medication, that we could have probably gotten if we just told them she had an ear infection, but oh well, I’m just glad we aren’t still there.

I’ve been trying to get my link out there more and more the last few days. See the more links I have linking back to me, the higher my pagerank will be. I’ve been thinking about spending some money to do it the easy way with submitawebsite. They offer text link advertising that will allow me to put my link on other websites while paying for it to be there. This way I don’t really have to do anything special, everything is automatic and I have a bunch of text links on other sites that I normally wouldn’t have links on. It isn’t a bad idea, and it might be worth a shot.

Any slightest noise will disturb me, but loud music will allow me to focus because it blocks out other noises, I guess it is the same for most people with ADD though. One of the fans in my case is making a grinding noise and it is really disturbing me, so I had to crank up my music.

I’ve always been able to concentrate more with music though, when reading a book, if there is music on then I can concentrate, but if the television is on I can’t really focus. I don’t know why that is, maybe because with the television I am trying to stay focused on the story on there rather than anything else I am trying to do.

Krissy’s grandfather has prostate cancer and apparently he had been displaying prostate cancer symptoms. It sucks, because a lot of times if something changes in our bodies we just say it is natural and we put it off until it annoys us to a point of going to the doctor, at which point it might be too late. My grandmother was the same way. She had trouble breathing and blamed it on a cold, even doctors said it was pneumonia, but in the end it ended up being lung cancer, which if she had gotten looked at sooner, things might be different. There’s a thin line between knowing when something is due to age or if it could be a serious problem. I guess you just need to listen to your gut and be well informed, what else are you going to do, run to the doctor everytime something new happens?

I just found out about justin.tv. It is a site where people live cam, what is strange is that some people have a live cam on them 24 hours a day, while they are sleeping that are being filmed. It kind of reminds me of Edtv, I sleep when Ed sleeps so I don’t miss anything. I’ve thought of having a live cam here, but I wouldn’t do it 24 hours a day, that is really a bit much, plus it is a huge invasion of privacy. I don’t know how people can do that.

I lived in New Jersey most of my life, only in the last few years have I been living in Delaware. I moved a few times when I lived in Jersey, and each time was a huge pain. I mean between getting boxes, trying to figure out how many boxes you are going to need, finding a mover, it is all stressful. Find movers in NJ is easy, finding one that won’t rip you off is the hard part. Homebulletin has a list of movers in any given county in New Jersey. Say you are looking for Hudson NJ Movers, go to the Hudson County and then click a city and the movers from that city will be listed there. It beats going to the phone book trying to find movers.

I was looking through My Documents last night, trying to show Krissy pictures of Ohio, but I realize that I don’t know where half my pictures went to. I mean granted my computer isn’t the most organized of machines, and most files are thrown anywhere (something that I have been meanign to change for a while), but I usually know where I put my pictures and what folder everything is in, but now I don’t know. I have to sit down and really go thriough everything and find it and then organize it. Maybe I will be able to once we move, maybe even before hand, but who knows?

A while ago Krissy showed me this DVD managing software that was fairly inexpensive. It allows you to write a synopsis, or if you want enter the title of the movie or UPC code and it will find it online and download the details for you. What I thought was cool about it was that you could attach a bar scanner to it and it will read in all the information from the code. Ever since then I have been thinking about getting some ibm pos equipment. A used point of sale system would be great for what I need to do with it, plus Krissy can use it when she mails out invoices and gets back payments, she could just print a bar code on there and then scan it in and it could be read instantly without the need to type anything, or go looking for a file. An NCR point of sale system would really make life easier, but then again anything that is automatic makes life easier doesn’t it?

I’m thinking about expanding my website into a full blown business. I have the ideas, and the drive to do it, I just need the time to do it all. After I found some time to make my dreams a reality, I think I would find a marketing firm that specializes in small business. Maybe one that has a custom web design package. Not that I hate my design, but I have had it for a few years and I think it is time for a change. Maybe something with lighter colors, but still dark, I don’t know, but I do know that there has to be a change and more things before I can pursue my idea though.

Krissy had my casrd and she gave it back to me when I didn’t have my wallet on hand. I put the card in my pocket and then later I washed those jeans, that’s how my credit card got ruined. Now I need to wait until the money transfers to my bank account and then I can take it out and then get my car fixed. Hopefully by the time all this happens we get the paperwork and then we go out to Ohio around the 20th and maybe we can be out of here by the 31st. Let’s see what happens.
