Working From Home isn't Easy!!

Working at home is hard. I mean be honest, how many of us are earning enough to support our families? Not many. There are a huge amount of bloggers that are earning a lot of money, but the vast majority of us are out here struggling. What I guess I wanted to say before I tell you about something new, is that even those bloggers that are making it big now, started off slow. So be patient and go easy on yourself and don't give up. Anything worth having is worth fighting for right? So, I try these little programs that some say aren't really worth our time, but when they add up they give me and my family a little something extra. So please don't worry if the small business ideas I give you, aren't something you are interested in. I am just trying everything to see how it works.

One day, I will be able to tell you exactly what works and what doesn't. At least, I hope to be able to. LOL

As you know I am always trying something new and I found something new to tell you about yesterday. Now, I don't really know whether you want to get excited about it or anything but it is something and I am told you can earn around $150-$200 a month. While that isn't enough to support a family of one, let alone a family of four, it certainly could help with the gas bills. lol.

Free money making opportunity. Join Cashfiesta.com and earn cash.

There are actually two of these types of opportunities (at least that I am aware of) and if there are more that you know about, please let me know.

The idea goes something like this: you download Cashfiesta's tool bar onto your computer. It shows up on your screen, you can choose whether you want it on top or bottom. There is a little caveman (or something) walking on the left hand side of the tool bar. While he is walking you are earning points, and points translate into money. I don't really know how much money at this point, since I just started yesteray, but I am sure to find out. If the caveman stops walking at any point during your web surfing then you know that you have stopped earning points. If this happens, just follow the directions to get your guy walking again. It is really very simple.

There are other ways you can make more money also. They have special offers that you can do to earn you more money, which I haven't done yet, and probably won't do, and they have their referral rewards program. If you want to try it out, then please click on the banner in this post or on the right side where all my links are.

I did mention another one of these types of earnings programs, and I have signed up for the other one, but at this point it is not up and running, so as I learn more about that program I will let you know.

Until then, we'll see how this works. (smile)

Have a great day!!!!

Fantastic Advice from Scott At LegitimateBusinessReviews.com

I had an important email from a leading internet entrepeneur, Scott Edward. He has a super site LegitimateBusinessReviews.com
Anyway, I asked Scott for permission to pass his email on to you. So here it is and thanks so much Scott. Your advice is invaluable.

Hi Danyiell,

I'm so tired of it that I'm issuing an official warning.People are being duped by aparticular kind of work-at-homebusiness and I wanted to letyou know about it.Anytime you see a Business 0pp.about data entry or typ-ing at home,put your guard up. Here's why: They are fooling you into thinking that you are going to be doing some typing in your spare time and getting paid for it.These are the statements to look out for:"Fill out simple web forms forcompanies""Choose the companies you wantto work with from our onlinecatalog""You will never be turned downby these companies""Simply copy and paste the information we provide you intothe form."Don't believe what you read on those websites.Want to know what they're reallyselling? It's actually the sameas the pay-per-click or affiliatemarketing sites. What you do is write ads that will be attractive and will send prospective customers to otherwebsites. If those customers buy,you get a com-mission.It's NOT just typing. You haveto open up an account with oneof the online advertisers (usuallyGoogle or Yahoo). Then you enterthe ads and they go out on theInternet. Here's what you're not told: everytime someone clicks on your ad, youpay!YOU PAY!You pay around a dollar per click.And if you want better exposure,you pay more than that. If your ad is sparkling and the site you send someone to is really a great value, then you might makesome decent money.The truth is that this kind ofprogram actually works. But if you're like me, I don't want to reward a company for deceiving me into their business.It's an affiliate marketingbusiness, but they deceive youinto thinking it's a typing business.I'd rather do business with a company that is up-front about what I will be doing.It is NOT my intent to "sell" you anything in this email. I just wanted to warn you about these companies.I get so many people asking about them. Just watch out for them.

There is a reason that the #1 payment processor on the Internet,
Clickbank, removed all of the data-entry programs from their product
lists last Fall. Their refund rates were through the roof. It's not a data entry business.

Don't be deceived.

Keep your guard up,

-Scott

Clixsense updated....

I have been playing around with Clixsense.com today and so far I have managed to make a whopping 25 cents. The system says that I can make more money if I upgrade to their premium account. It only costs $10 so I may very well do that. The only problem is that so far I have only seen offers for 1 cent each. So if they have 525 ads that I can click on to make money, that is only $5.25 for all of them. The good news is that the $10 is for the whole year, so I could definitely make my money back. It will just take a little while.

Meanwhile I am still trying to recover from my sickness and hopefully I am on my way to recovery. This is the first day that I haven't slept until 3 or 4 in the afternoon and hopefully I will sleep tonight. So you may be in for a few posts this week. YAY!!!

If anyone is involved in clixsense.com and has upgraded, please let me know how it is going for you. I think we all are interested in learning more about how much we can make and if its a good program.

Well hope you all are well and happy.

See you soon!

Hey Everybody!!


I'm sorry I have been missing. I have been sick and still can't talk very well. Lost my voice, ribs hurt, throat aches, you name it I got it. I feel like I've been hit by a bus. lol

Anyway, the trip took off with a bunch of hitches. That may be wrong, I was thinking of the saying " the trip took off without a hitch," but that, in our case, wasn't so.

To begin with my credit card was declined when we went to get gas. Had to wait on hold with my bank and right when they were about to tell me what was going on, my cell phone lost signal. :( So, thank God, my Aunt Shannon showed up with credit card in hand. She handed it to the clerk and we were on our way. So we are driving down Hwy 94 and my cell phone rings. The bank called and said they fixed my card and they were terribly sorry. We all breathe a sigh of relief and start to enjoy the road trip... for thirty seconds.

I have 2 boys so I am not used to taking a road trip with girls, but since we were all going to the same place, I took my sister's 2 girls with me. When a boy has to go to the bathroom and can't hold it till the next rest stop, you simply hand them a bottle with a cap, and direct them to the very back part of the van. With girls you have to find somewhere to stop immediately. Unfortunately, I didn't learn this until I had two girls in my van for a 2 1/2 hour drive. I swear, next time, they are going with their mother. LOL. I didn't realize how easy I had it. I mean, I am a girl, but I must have changed to fit the ultimately male population in my family. So after we stopped several times for bathroom breaks, we finally made it to the campsite.

The campsite was nice, but we are used to going up into the mountains and camping in the middle of nowhere. No people, and no electricity. This place was on the plains and it had electricity, people, pets, mosquitoes, the works. We could fish, swim, boat, or just sit and enjoy the sun.


The first night we were there, my two brothers, my oldest son, my husband and I were awakened by a chewing sound right outside both of our tents. We all waited a while calling softly accrossed the clearing to each other. Finally whatever the monster was, saw Branden and Kristopher looking at it through the tent window and took off with his head in a trash bag. We laughed so loud I thought we would wake up the entire camp grounds. Everyone settled back to sleep, but it wasn't meant to be. Less than a half an hour later, the monster was back. There we were whispering to each other again, and finally my husband, Sean, got dressed, put on shoes and the next thing I knew he was charging out of the tent with an ax, yelling. Apparently the black lab that was eating our cooler didn't scare easily so he just stood there, staring at Sean and chewing the soft vinyl of one of our empty coolers. So Sean growled at it, and when that didn't work, ran at it full force. Branden, Kristopher, Zechariah, and I were literally laughing histerically by this time. Oh my gosh, it was funny. Sean came back to the campsite, but we did not go back to bed. We sat up on our folding chairs in the dark, waiting for that black lab. lol. He, of course didn't show up. So after an hour of sitting and waiting for the black lab terrorist, we all went back to our tents. Ten minutes later, he was back. My husband hadn't even taken off his shoes so out the tent he went, and we all hear cursing. That was new so I asked what happened and he said the dog was running away with our cooler this time. Oh my gosh I thought my sides were going to split open. We were dying laughing. Sean ran after the dog and got the cooler back and thank God that was the last we heard of that mangy dog. The next morning however, at some crazy hour, our neighbors packed up complaining that we woke them up at all hours of the night and they left angrily. Not a good sign to our other neighbors. lol.


The next morning our husbands, and brothers took off to "scout" for fishing places, and didn't come back for six hours. It wasn't great fun waiting for them to come back. They, of course, left us with all the kids. lol


Anyway, we stayed there for three days, and it was nice to finally come home.


My younger sister loved it so much she and her husband and our two brothers are heading back there for a week.


We loved it so much that we will never go again. lol


Sean, our two boys, and I are heading up to the mountains with Sean's brother, neice, and cousin. Hopefully my older sister will come with us too. I sure hope its mosquito free. LOL
