Money Making Thinking Caps

A money making bloggers job is never done - there are the emails to answer, a blog post to write, research to do, other blogs to visit, return comments to update .....

Stop!

We also need time to think.

It's so easy to get carried away with the usual chores of a blog that we can forget to purposefully think about different aspects of blogging.

What happens is that we do the same thing over and over and get stuck in a routine. Consequently the result is sameness. As some clever clod once said, "If you do what you always do you'll get what you've always gotten."

And it's true.

Life is about change so occasionally we have to sit down and have a good think about how our blogs (and our lives) are doing. If everything is exactly as we wish, which is rare, there's no action to take. But if things aren't perfect - maybe not sufficient visitors, could do with more subscribers, need more links, want more money and so on - then we have to make some adjustments or, unless by a freak accident, everything will plod on as before.

Now and again, as in any business, we have to find time to stand back and take stock. We have to think about new ideas and innovations that might just take our blogs (and our lives) to the next stage.

Life is development, improvement, advancement and, dare I say it, evolution.

So lets get those thinking caps on and evolve.

Mind you, stagnation has a certain appeal at times!

TreasureTrooper. My last words about this program were that it was a waste of time joining if you lived outside of the USA. I've now received an email from them, which may be of interest to UK readers, they write:

'We have finally implemented our all new UK offer section. This means that UK members will now only see offers that are available for their country, without the hassle of wading through dozens of US offers. There's hundreds of dollars to be earned in the new section, and you'll just have to see it to believe it!'

I took a look at the site and, sure enough, there are over 50 offers said to be suitable for UK residents.

If you are in the UK (or USA) and like these sort of programs it may be worth a look. I have to admit that it's not really my thing. If you do join I would suggest that you set up a seperate email address - there's bound to be some junk mail.

I'm sure there was something else that I wanted to mention but it's gone from my mind. Now where's that thinking cap?

Good luck,
Mike.

Money Making Updates

Firstly, I wasn't being serious in yesterday's post, as some people thought, more satirical than anything.

Anyway, a few updates on things I haven't mentioned in my Money Making Weekly Reports:

daytipper
At last. My tip has been published and I have earned the grand sum of $3. But what a wait. My tip was approved for publishing on the 14th. of January and then went into a queue. If you are thinking of making money with daytipper be patient - be very patient!

From what I can see it took 107 days for my tip to be published and during this period 975 tips in total were published (and therefore got paid). This works out at about only 9 tips a day being monetised. Present figures show that 1611 tips have been published to date. Nothing wrong with the website but it's not something for serious money making.

Helium
As well as the normal commission Helium have now introduced weekly prizes ranging from $5 to $300. Write the best articles and you could win a prize on top of the normal payments.

I keep saying to myself that I must write more articles for them but somehow I don't get round to it. I quite like Helium though, it's got a nice 'feel' about the website.

Treasure Trooper
This really is a dead loss unless you live in the USA. I carried out one offer for payment in January but it has just disappeared from my earnings. No idea why. This is despite the fact that the website concerned bombards me with junk emails several times a week. It's probably all okay for USA residents but elsewhere it's a bit dodgy.

I have actually now made 25 cents! This has come from referring other members, problem is the full details can't be seen anywhere.

review me
I joined this way back on January 15th but have never had a sponsored post to complete for them. Seems a favoured few do get offers and make some decent money but nothing has come my way as yet. So I'll do one of their text ads: Get Reviewed by this blog for $60 at ReviewMe! Well you never know.

Wealth Toolbox
I know I said I wouldn't mention this again but I've come across one of their videos which you should be able to see here. There's a bit of chat first and then a video of a forex screen. The idea behind this is to get people to join Jason Steele's course - he's the Wealth Toolbox founder. My opinion is the same: don't touch this with a bargepole - read here.

Good luck,
Mike.
