Get cash for your online and everyday activities!!

2011-05-02T20:57:00.000-07:00

Don't we all love to get paid for doing stuff we do everyday already. Here is your one stop online site for doing just that. Sendearnings.com allows you to get paid for reading emails, signing up for free offers, taking short surveys, playing online games, completing tasks and even your everyday shopping.

All of these are great ways to earn extra cash in your spare time but i think most people will enjoy earning from signing up for 100% offers! This online program is entirely free to join, and rather than you pay to participate, Send Earnings is willing to pay you $5 simply for trying their service.

1. Paid to Read Emails - Once you are registered, the program will typically send from two to five emails per day to your designated email address.

2. Cash Surveys - SendEarnings allows you to complete two surveys per day for a $.50 reward each.

3. Cash Offers - These usually involve doing some type of tasks such as signing up for product information, free trials, etc. that originate from various third party advertisers. The payment for these offers varies from 25 cents to $20 depending on the sponsoring merchant and the specific actions required. here are many signup offers that are 100% free, do not require credit cards, and usually involve filling out a form with basic demographic information.

4. Cash for Shopping - This feature allows you to get cash rebates of up to 40% deposited into your Send Earnings account when you shop with affiliated merchants. Many big name entities such as Barnes and Noble, Overstock.com, American Express, and some 600 others have partnered with the program.

5. Cash Games - By playing a variety of card, word, arcade, and sports types of games. This feature is set up through WorldWinner and is separate from the SendEarnings account. The only problem being compliant with Gambling laws in your state.

Take a look for yourself. There's nothing to lose and all to gain.

Paybox name change

2011-03-22T20:41:00.000-07:00

It Appears that since my time away from logging into my regular accounts i have come to realize that Paybox.com has made a name change. In the effort to re-brand itself and to get ready for the upcoming changes it is now called Virtapay. Over the last couple months they have been working on launching our Digital Delivery project which may be available over the coming weeks. Before long, you will be able to purchase digitally-delivered goods using the balance in your VirtaPay account.
As with Paybox rise, you are still able to refer users to the program. Their goal before the full launch is to reach 2-5 million users. Seems like a long road to go before the official launch. In the meantime referring new users currently adds $10 to your VirtaPay balance for every person who follows your referral link and joins VirtaPay.

For me the verdict is still out whether or not it is a scam. It all comes down to whether we will follow Alice down the rabbit hole or not to find out.

As you can see I've taken a little bit time off. Had a few issues with my computer which shut down on me and is out of caught the blue screen of death. Its amazing how far technology has come along and its a wonderful thing but at time it handicaps us without it.
So now back home after spending some time away this past week on a little vacation and ready to get back to every life. Keeping site of my goal to not work a regular 9-5 job. No stress. . No worries. I know it takes some time to get it running on autopilot and i will for sure have fun all the way until i achieve this goal and beyond. I love being able to spend this time with my kids. Seeing them grow and advance to new stages right before my eyes.

Paybox (pt2) : Is it for real?!

2011-02-01T20:34:00.000-08:00

So far so good. . . . Paybox seems to be paying a nice lump sum of money just for logging on to their site and doing simple task. Below is the last few deposits and balance of the closed box paybox account. Which basically means that until they are open for real business and real transactions, we are unable to touch this virtual cash flow we seem to be accumulating.

Paybox is now trying to move on to their next phase to become an open system. This goal to “Open the Box”, involves inviting merchants to accept PayBox. This will allow users to buy from any merchant who has registered to accept PayBox payments. In time, plan to offer debit cards linked to user accounts and in-exchange and out-exchange to enable deposits and withdrawals using nearly any currency in the world. Whether its real or not, I am continuing to follow the breadcrumbs or Rainbow if you will to find the pot of gold! Its looks pretty nice for just not doing much at all.

Myspace Quotes Graphics

It's crazy how things happen sometimes and today was one of those days. This quote fits how my day went and seeing this actually calmed me down and allowed me to smile about my situation. Things do happen for a reason and in a way it not 100% where i want to be but it has happened for a reason. Most likely this is a place that i need to be because in a lot of ways I am a better man for it.

Keeping faith and moving forward.

Who's your boss?

2011-01-25T21:25:00.000-08:00

As I'm watching the President Obama address the nation on a variety of topics, the one thing that stands out to me personally was about our economy and creating more jobs for Americans. This may seem weird to those that are closest to me because they know I haven't held a real job in some time now. Being blessed with the opportunity to play basketball overseas in Europe for 11yrs I really wouldn't say is a job. Whenever you are doing something you love and have a passion for, to me, will never feel like a job.
Now that my career is winding down, I am faced with the decision of what to do next. Do i want to work for someone else for the next 30+ years or continue to control and create my own destiny.
Now don't get me wrong. .. there is nothing wrong with working. It helps pay the bills and in some cases it adds stability to many people's lives. The question now is at what price do you pay to work for someone else? When is your last day?

When is your last day working at a job you don't like?
When is your last day of being chained to some time clock?
When is your last day of being behind on bills?
When is your last day of being in debt?
When is your last day of being told what to do each day?
When is your last day of letting someone else decide for you how much you're worth and how much you will get paid?

It's really up to you…
Only you can make that "last day" come. If you don't, then it will always just be someday. Don't let that happen. Take action today.
With thousands of options online and offline out there for us to take hold of you can change your life to be just the way you want it, but you must take action.
you can begin earning a much easier living from the Internet. It is far easier and much more within your reach than you may think.Take back control of your life. Invest in yourself. You can!

What is Paybox.me ? Easy money or waste of time?!

2011-01-21T22:48:00.000-08:00

PayBox.me is a new site i recently came across that seems to be along the same line as Paypal and Alertpay. Is this a way of making easy money or just another fairy tale for dreamers chasing extra income? Paybox is developing an online currency and payment processing service to make buying and selling online easier, more secure and available to everyone. Right now Paybox is in its early stage where early bird users can contribute ideas and give feedback before their planned launch in early 2011.
At launch the full features will include:

Person-to-Person transactions.
Small Business integration, including payment processing modules for all popular shopping cart software.
Mid-sized Business integration.
Major Online Store integration.
Debit Card linked to your PayBox account.
Currency exchange with all major world currencies.

I decided to take the plunge mid December. With a sign up bonus of $50 and by signing in almost every day for 5mins i seemed to have accumulated $650. Now that would be outstanding since all they ask is to sign in and do a few task daily. Well umm .. all of this is great except I can't exactly use the money since its still a closed box system and these are only Paybox dollars at the moment. That being the only drawback, it seems that there isn't much risk of being scammed. Unless you count the 5 mins wasted each day which many of us already do without a second thought. If this is something that turns out to be real, it is very possible to earn hundreds or thousands of dollars in your account by the time they launch, without ever making a deposit!

Paybox will credit your account for reading there blog and answering their short surveys. As long as you continue to log in daily they can track your input to keep you are active or not. They are building community, where you will use your paybox money to purchase on their store and quite possibly other stores we shop at everyday. .

In the end you will have to make the decision for yourself to follow the cookie crumbs and try it out or not. Since they do not ask for any personal information, there seems to be no serious risk in joining.

A wonderful start to my day

2011-01-19T20:45:00.000-08:00

What a great start to what i would have otherwise imagined it would be otherwise. Its amazing how kids can easily put a smile on your face no matter what is going on in your life. How innocent and genuine every action they make. This morning i was treated to one of those moments. My daughter Mikaylah is the first to wake walking into the living room looking for her dada while rubbing. She climbs into my lap with her juice cup in hand. Usually, she motions to the cup asking for more juice. Instead, she raises her head of my shoulder and roars/ growls like a animal. This is hilarious to me because even though i know she can say a few small words, i know this is her way of saying; "dada i want to see dinosaurs". don't know what i would do these days without the internet tv shows and videos. Since i was already sitting in front of the computer I decide to put on some interesting kid friendly videos for her to watch.

Shortly after finding a long enough video for Mikaylah to watch while eating her breakfast, I hear a faint noise followed by a giggle. Now i know a lot of babies tend to wake up whining but I'm pretty sure it wasn't one of those times. Lil E (Erykah) is now waking up. I go to the room to make sure that I am not hearing things and peek around the corner. I can only imagine what is so funny to 5mo old. She must have been dreaming we all were at disney world after her dada won the lottery! lol . . . that might have been my dream. She then spots me hanging in the doorway and gives me the biggest beautiful smile. One of those smiles that could "charm the birds out of a tree" as my mom always says.
Every morning is not a "kodak" moment like this but it is days like this that remind me of why i give up so much for my kids. Why I love staying home with them and sharing these special moments.

My new toy (car). . . Chevrolet Traverse

2011-01-17T18:36:00.000-08:00

Goodbye old Toyota 4runner. . gonna miss ya. Oh well. I needed a more dependable, stylish vehicle that could handle my growing girls. I think I've found a match!
This car has been amazing so far, and we love it! The space is great, its a super quiet ride (no road noise) the seats are comfortable, the controls and functions are easy to use and it looks great! Now I'm looking forward to taking a true highway trip to see what this baby really can do.

Now i just have to get pass not telling my girl that i was upgrading. lol .. umm .. Locking in my final answer to escape the inevitable argument. .. I did it for the kids! :-)

Extra income (p2) and the W.H.Y. factor!

2011-01-08T17:18:00.000-08:00

We welcome the year 2011 and all seems well. Without missing a beat, we continue to take care of our family, go out and build new friendships/relationships and go to work. The one thing about going into a new year is that we sometimes set resolutions or goals that we would like to reach. All of this is great except in order to reach these goals you first must write them down. And secondly, you must have a reason or a "W.H.Y".

Everything we do should have a WHY factor. I eat good because I'm hungry; I pay the gas bill because I want heat, I go on a diet because I want to lose weight etc. If we don't have a reason for doing something, chances are we won't do it.

Why is it that you are in business? Why do you get up to go to work every day?

I'm not sure if many people know their WHY. Its stands for What Hurts You! What in your life do you want to be doing better?! In daily life and in business, determining “what” you want to accomplish will help you get out of the starting gate but determining “why” will help you cross the finish line.

Most people want:

More money - to pay off debt, or just to build more wealth.
More time (freedom) - to never miss your kids activities, family events, vacation.

Personally, I want to be able to have the freedom to do my work anywhere I want and not be tied down to a desk, told when to wake up or when I can go on vacation and travel. I get to enjoy time with my kids without sending them off to a daycare and having someone else raise my kids; without having someone else see their first steps; hear their first words and any other accomplishments you can think of.

We must write our Goals and our WHY down to keep our eyes on the prize. Look at it frequently and never forget to give us motivation when there is no one around. When there is no one to cheer us on. This is particularly important when running a business where you can be your own boss or any project where you are the sole provider.

Go forth and continue to be inspired by your WHY and I hope we all will become one step closer everyday to achieving our goals!

Extra Income for the new year

2010-12-31T02:22:00.000-08:00

As i get ready for the New year of 2011, I begin to think about resolutions i would like to make and seriously stick to. When you take time out to be with your kids and become a stay at home dad, your options for making significant income begin to change. Not in a bad way but as you can imagine you have to modify your schedule to earn extra income. Fortunately I have come across a few programs and businesses that have provided me time to enjoy being with my family and paying the bills at the same time.

I have done a little research on few different programs, affiliate, mlm, ptc, survey sites etc. and as in anything that you come across there are always good ones and bad ones. Legit and scams. Here are a few (3) that i have tried and actually had some success with.

Pre-paid legal Services inc.- A good 38yr old NYSE company which is on the verge of becoming a household name. Gives access to legal counsel for a low monthly fee. -This is a network marketing company which has a great service that everyone needs, and also gives you the opportunity to run your own business. Become your own boss! Over the past few months I have had the privilege to work with some great people in the business and earn a substantial amount of money with the help of many mentors. Keep in mind though that this isn't a job but a business opportunity and a investment in yourself as well as your family. There is a start-up fee. I was easily able to make this back in the 1st week with the help of my upline sponsor and since then in my spare time able to make $200-$500 a month . -Don't miss the Fox Business Network program about Pre-Paid Legal, airing January 1st, 2011! 12pm & 4pm EST.
Bux4ad- Make money from your very own website. Its a pretty self explanatory affiliate program and great for those who like to make passive income. I just started with this program and already on day 1 with a few minutes of plugging in information, made $30 dollars just from one website. Best of all it cost nothing to get started!
Neobux- is a PTC service which also lets you advertise. I haven't used the advertising aspect but I have used the ptc part. They say "A penny saved is a penny earned". Well this would definitely fit the profile. For a few minutes out of your day, (of doing not much at all, chatting, facebook etc.) you get some pennies for clicking on advertisements. Whether you actually read them or not, you collect. There are other ways to earn and all the more reason to check it out. Similar PTC sites are Darebux and Schnaap Klicks, BestBux.
.

There are more programs I've tried but these are a few that i can actually give 2 thumbs up to going into the new year. But hey don't take my word for it. Check it out yourself. Information is free and available for all those who want something extra in their pockets.

So with that said its time to kick it into another gear in the new year! Happy 2011!

Happy Holidays - Things to smile about

2010-12-25T12:03:00.000-08:00

As the holiday season has arrived, I decided to think about all the things that keeps me going, makes me laugh and what makes me smile. Even though I'm in a different position than I was a few years ago, I feel that my family and I are still on the right track. And seeing that a lot of people and families are going through some tough times, I know my family (immediate and distant), are coming together to comfort and help each other. Many people tend to take things for granted without keeping in mind that no matter how hard we "think" we have it, there are families who can't support their children, or even themselves.
So here is my quick list of what I'm thankful for.

I have a family who loves me and who I am very close with.
I am in good shape and health.
2 beautiful daughters I get to enjoy Christmas with.
house that keeps me warm in the winter.
my wonderful girlfriend. And even though we don't see eye to eye all the time, I know in any event, she will always have my back.
my many friends here in the states and in Europe. I have been blessed to be able to meet people all over the world while playing professional basketball.
friends I can count on and remind you of those days when the original Tron and Transformers originally hit the scene.
being able to be a stay at home dad never missing a beat with my kids while earning extra income in my spare time.
Internet/Skype! I know it sounds funny but for this holiday season we are visiting in-laws and skype will allow me to visually enjoy Christmas with my family back home.

As I'm sure there are a million other thing that I have forgotten to mention, there is no mistaking the importance of family and friends. I've heard this many times before and still believe it today. "There is no such thing as a self made man. You will reach your goals with the help of others". What better way to do it than with the people you love.

Merry Christmas!

Outnumbered by females

2010-12-17T22:32:00.000-08:00

Its been a few months now since our youngest daughter, Erykah was born. Its amazing how fast children grown right before your eyes. Feels like we just had Mikaylah but at 20months old, she is now the older sister. Though she acts like the baby baby, I am admiring the bond that the two of them are making.

Kim and I have been dating. . umm . . uhhh .. say 11yrs now and wham! 2 girls pop out back to back. Its amazing how a persons life can change around so fast. Its one thing to hear about it and another to actually be the one in the situation. lol . .. guess you have to be careful what you ask for.
I say this for 2 reasons:

I've wanted to have kids for the last 5yrs. married or not.
I've always enjoyed the company of females. (for conversation of course)

Got my wish . . I am surrounded by girls. I forgot to mention that my sister has 3 girls. As you can tell men are outnumbered in my family. Its not a bad thing. Well as long as they know I am the man of the house! At least I know in the future that we will have a lot of nice home cooked meals.

All this and my friends and family keep asking me .. "Soooo . . when are you going to try for the baby boy?"

I think I'll wait a while before rolling the dice on # 3. . .

About Eric Poole

2010-12-15T10:10:00.000-08:00

My name is Eric Poole. aka Big E to my family and friends. Playing sports gives me a sense of belonging to a team and something more than myself. Growing up in the small town of Beltsville, MD (USA) I played soccer, baseball, football and basketball. Well basketball kind of grew on me or should i say i grew into it. As i am 6'8" now, which is not amazingly tall but you can imagine how i grew over the years as a teen.

I have played professional European basketball for the past 11yrs in various countries. Sweden, Switzerland, France, Germany, Latvia, and Belgium. Even a short stint in Argentina. I love traveling and experiencing different cultures.

I Live with my girlfriend Kim, my 2 beautiful daughters Mikaylah (20mo) and Erykah (4mo) and also 2 mini pins (dogs) who guard my girls when I'm away.

I am an open person and generally positive about all situations to the point that i always think the glass is half full and not half-empty. "Everyday is a blessing to behold.!" A day is too valuable to waste on misery and unhappiness. Even misery cannot stand up to a happy face and heart.

I am kind of new at blogging so lets just see where this takes us on my new journey of being a stay at home dad.
