Myster-e-Mail

Well, I really feel somewhat like an idiot right now. Yesterday I posted a review of Myster-e-Mail. Late last night or early this morning I received another payment from them (only 3 cents but it was a payment).

Today I am getting nothing but the fact that the domain has expired!

Myster-e-Mail seems to have vanished over night and I am disappointed - I really did enjoy receiving my small payments as surprises here and there.

I have seen this happen before where someone has simply forgotten to pay their domain fees so hopefully this will be the case and they will be back going strong again soon.

Myster-e-Mail

Myster-e-Mail is much more than just a paid to read e-mail site.

It's true they do offer hundreds of e-mails they also have a paid to click ads and banners, games, trivia and much more.

I will admit I don't do the e-mails very often - I just don't have time to keep up with them but I can tell you after only a few weeks I've been paid 5 times by them.

The ads and e-mails aren't high paying but with the volume they offer it's very easy to rack up a little extra money. Also, they pay randomly and even a few cents here and there it's fun to see them deposited into my PayPal account.


Myster-e-Mail gets a Thumbs Up from me just because they are consistant and do pay.

Moving Part 3

Well, I have vacated the old house and although not settled am in the 'new place'. Very unorganized still but am starting to get things in place and it is feeling more like 'home'.

Anyone who has been divorced might appreciate this fact. I am now renting from one of my ex-husbands. We've been divorced for nearly 16 years and have not had a good relationship since but it was offered.

His house is huge, beautiful, and on a quiet country road. You would think this would be perfect for 'writing' - has been my dream for many years as I was living on Main St. in a small but hectic small town. Not so 'quiet' here though. My daughter and her family (including my 4 year old grandson and 2 year old granddaughter) are living in the finished walk-out basement. My ex has the main floor.

I have the loft plus a room and private bath on the main floor. The photo here is of the back of the house but only shows the 2 upper levels - the triagle window and skylights are my main living area and there are the same on the opposite side of the house, lots of windows and light.

I love being close and here for my daughter and grandchildren but can see already it is going to take some major adjustments. When the little ones are in the house they want to be with Grandma. This cuts into my quiet work time alot. Last night we faught for an hour with the 2 year old because she wanted to sleep with grandma.

Grandma was just too tired to be up most of the night worrying about her as I certainly do not trust her with the loft rails and spiral stairs ;( I felt bad when my daughter carried her to her own room screaming 'wanna seep wif Gamma, wanna seep wif Gamma'

Moving Part 2

Well, of the millions of times I've moved I would say this move has been the most difficult and most unorganized.

As I had little warning of the move I didn't have time to do much but throw things in boxes and bags. I did attempt to lable some boxes but this was no help when thinks I need regularly were buried in a pile of 'un-needed' things. It's been over a week now and the best I have managed is to find a few changes of cloths, my shampoo and conditier have finally been located, and my bed is set-up.

When you move do you have a system? In the past I have and it worked quiet well. Labeling boxes with the room it goes into; such as kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, etc. and also including a brief list of what is in that particular box. A box for the kitchen might have a label 'Kitchen - pots & pans' or 'Kitchen - canned goods'.

Another tip is when the physical move happens YOU should be at the new location when items are brought in. This way before something is sat down you can direct the labor which room to place the box or item in. This saves a lot of time and energy for yourself when you start to unpack and set-up your new home.

Off to look for the rest of my cloths now - I have managed to get all of those bags in one central location but now need to open, unpack, sort, and refold or hang-up as needed.

Moving

I'm going to be out of touch for the next week or so. I am moving and will not be able to post new posts until I get a bit settled in the new 'home'. I hope to be back online ASAP and with a faster ISP connection so should be able to do much more in less time online when that happens.

Am moving about 15 miles from where I currently live and have for the most part for the last 20+ years (3 different homes but in the same township). Other than the physical work of moving I think that is what is most difficult for me - it seems like I'm being totally uprooted from everything I am used to.

This move was and is not my choice but my landlord of 2 1/2 years is selling my home and wants it empty when it goes up for auction.

Venture Alliance Partners - Helping Investors and Entrepreneurs

According to the American Heritage Dictionary an investor is a person willing to commit their money or capital in order to gain a financial return. At the same time they also say an entrepreneur is a person who organizes, operates, and assumes the risk for a business venture.

As much as I would like to say I am in the first group the fact of the matter is I fit into the second group - I am an entrepreneur although very new to the field.

Today I was introduced to a company Venture Alliance Partners A/S (Venpar). Their only goal is to help both investors and entrepreneurs build world class companies. Venpar does this by providing a wide variety of much needed assistance for the investor and the entrepreneur which includes financial strategies, acting as a headhunter, an investment banker, and many other duties that assist in building businesses.

Venpar is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs and investors and they could be a great assistance to you.

Photos Missing :(

I just wanted to let any visitors to my blog know that if there are any photos not showing on my blog at this time it is not because I messed up...

The fact is many of my original photographs I share with others are hosted at Shareapic and their site appears to be down at this time. This is the first time this has happened since I've been a member there and hope it is only temperary.

Please come back later to view some of my photos. I hope in the near future to have my photographys also displayed on my web site ByFaithOnly.com

Clix Sense - Tip

Ok, I totally messed up on this one. I had read this in the FAQs for ClixSense but was so excited about the great earnings that I forgot to take care of it...

If you are a member of ClixSense and have not read or taken care of this you may want to before the next payout.

So what's the deal/tip? ClixSense pays via checks (no PayPal or such). When you reach payout there is a $3 'processing fee' they charge for cutting your check. The default payout for ClixSense is $10. When you earn over $10 they are going to send you a check at the end of the month minus their $3 fee.

You can however go into your profile section and change your payout to a higher amount: $20, $50, $100 etc. Do the math here! If you are earning $10 a month (I earned over that) they are going to charge $3 - that's $3 out of your earnings. If this happens for let's say 5 months that adds up to $15 out of your earnings.

Now, if you sent your automatic payout to $50 and it takes you 5 months to reach that amount you're going to be charged $3. That ads up to an extra $12 in your pocket.

Just a little FYI - I raised my payout to $50, ClixSense has been around a long time and I really don't think they are going to be going any place before I reach that amount.

Happy Clicking and if your not a member of ClixSense you may want to check into this great paying site - Just click ClixSense to get started.

Blogsvertise

I just joined this site last night and am waiting for my blog to be approved but it looks very promising. I love to write but often I can’t think of topics to write on so this could be a win-win situation. I get topics to write on and businesses get their web site or product advertised on my blog.

If you own a blog, like writing, and would like to earn a little extra income you should check out Blogsvertise!

This is how it basically works: you sign up as a blogger, register your blog with Blogsvertise, and wait for your blog to be approved. Once that has happened you will be assigned tasks and when completed you’ll get paid for your efforts.

A few tips on Blogsvertise:
*They don’t accept NEW blogs so don’t run out as soon as you finish reading this, start your own blog and expect to start earning tomorrow. Blogs less than 30 days old may get accepted but will be put on ‘probation’ meaning you won’t earn as much for your assignments.
*A second way you can earn from blogging for Blogsvertise is through their affiliate program. How this works is if you refer advertisers to Blogsvertise you will be paid a percentage of what the advertiser spends.
*When you sign up and are waiting for your blog to be approved make sure you add a post to your blog such as this one promoting Blogsvertise. This is something they will look for when checking your blog. It gives them an idea of your writing talents and shows your ability to complete tasks.

If you’re not a blogger but are looking for ways to advertise your business you may want to check out Blogsvertise's ‘Advertisers’ section they offer 3 different ways of advertising through their system and offer a great way to get the word out about your business or web site – bloggers talking about you being one of the best forms of advertising online.

Obviously since I just joined last night and my blog hasn’t been approved yet I haven’t earned off Blogsvertise but I will keep you posted on that and after doing some research did find several members who have been paid. I see this becoming a Thumbs Up in the near future.

Flower of the Week

Oh this is pretty cool. I was playing around with Shareapic earlier and found a nice feature not only do they provide a code for you to insert your photos you've uploaded onto web sites, blogs, and forums but they will automatically upload photos to some systems for you.

I did it with this photo. Now, you can't include any information except for a title but if a person was in a rush and wanted to post a pictue I think this is pretty handy... Rather than messing around with codes just pop the photo to your blog and then when you have more time you can always post your message.

Another option would be to send the photo over from Shareapic and then e-mail your message - they wouldn't be on the same post but in your message you could easily refer to the photo.

As for this picture, my peonies are in bloom :) It's sad these flowers don't last long because they are among the sweetest smelling flowers I have growing in my yard.

A little tip about peonies - you require the help of ants to have nice blooms. Why, you ask! When the buds of the peonies develope their encased with a sticky substance. The ants love this stuff and as they 'feed' on the sticky stuff they actually clean it off allowing the blooms to open.

I learned this lesson the hard way the first spring I owned my house and was introduced to peonies. There were ants all over the place so you guessed it, I sprayed the ants and my peonies barely bloomed. Before the next spring someone told me about the 'ant's help' so didn't spray the next spring. The bloom in this picture is about six inches in diameter.
