How to earn money to go back to school via a WIA (WorkForce Initiative Act) GRANT!

2013-12-07T17:23:00.002-06:00

I wanted to share my experience with you for the past couple of months. Several months ago, I was recently let go from my work, and since that time, I've been wanting to go back to school to gain some new training in my field of working in Telecommunications.
A few months ago, I was informed that if you are unemployed, there is a way to earn/be granted a grant from the US Federal government and if you are a citizen, you can qualify for what is called a WIA Grant. The WIA program, aka WorkForce Initiative Act, allows people who are unemployed to seek federal grant funding from as much as $5000 to as much as $8000 dollars for specific courses to go back to schools, whether college or a technical school of your choice.
Also if you find this information helpful, at the bottom of this listing is a donation button. All I ask is for you to donate just $1 dollar to help me out by providing this information to you, and it's not mandatory, just for you to say thank you to me for going ahead and getting this information to you.
How does one get this grant from the government? Well it's not easy, but there is a way to qualify.

1) Locate your local WorkForce/WorkNet office board via the internet. By doing this search, they will locate the nearest office to your area.
2) Go there to register or call them to find out when the next available appointment to come in and register as some offices might be busy.
3) Once there, you can sign in, and there they will inform you what programs are available at the WorkForce office. They can assist with helping you find work, programs that might be also available if you qualify for other assistance, and they will have info on how you can take to a WorkForce counselor on how you can apply for a WorkForce Grant.
4) Now, here comes the hard part. If you do want to qualify, you are going to have to go through some hurdles, but they are not difficult to do, if you are willing to put the work in. You're going to need to bring in some documents, things like your Social Security Card, birth certificate to show you are a natural born citizen or registered citizen, documents of your schooling like high school diploma/GED or college degree, proof of residency, paystubs from past six months of previous work from other job/jobs, and if you have family like spouse/children, you'll need to bring in their SS cards as well along with other documents they will require you to bring in. And you will have to bring in ALL of it, so this is an important step.
5) Once that is done, you are registered into the system and from here you will need to attend workshops that they have available to show that you are complying with what the WorkForce/WorkNet offices are asking you to do. Some of these will be like attending a resume seminar, interview seminar, and other seminars like attending Job Club and other training seminars. Another important seminar will be an ITA seminar, where they will explain what further steps you will need to do to work on figuring out what grant you would like to go for. From here, you NEED to know what particular area of study you want to become trained in. For example, say you want to learn to become a Network Administrator/Programmer for Cisco systems, or a working with learning to become a Database Admin. You'll need to do the research ahead of time to find out more about the program, the schools that offer such programs, etc. In the ITA seminar, they will go over what you need to do on how to research this, what you will need to know about your choice, what schools should you consider, and how to go about getting this research done. And when the seminar is done, they will go over and give you even MORE PAPERWORK that you are required to fill out to explain why you made your choice, what schools are available in your field, if your field is a viable one to invest in, etc.
6) Once you have completed all of the ITA paperwork, bring it back to your WorkForce/WorkNet counselor. This is most likely going to be the hardest part of the task to getting your grant but it's one you MUST complete, or you will not qualify. Some of the paperwork can be tedious, but they do this to weed out people to see if they are sincere in their goal to seeking retraining/reeducation. But if you are sincere, you have to complete all of the paperwork they ask for you to do. Once you've completed all of the paperwork, your counselor will go over all of it to help you make sure it's completed properly so it can be submitted to a supervisor who will review it all. From there it will take a couple of weeks to determine if your choice is good or not.
7) The final step, will be a review. If they approve, you will not get money, but what is called a Federal Grant Voucher, which will be presented to your school of choice. Once your school has received your grant voucher, your school will register you into classes. Now, it is your job to complete all of the classes presented that you submitted the grant voucher for. If you don't, you cannot gain that money back. It's a ONE TIME DEAL, but if you complete your courses, from there you can work with that school to help you find location assistance to help place you in the field of your training so that they can locate you a job. Also, your WorkForce/WorkNet office will also help provide further assistance to help place you in a job that you've trained for, one of the nice benefits of enrolling in this program.

Well that's the info I have for you! If you found this helpful, I would be willing to take a simple $1 dollar donation to help me out, since I've done the advanced work to run through this entire program and this gives you an idea of what to expect on your end. If you found this information helpful, please donate $1 dollar here below:

TreasureTrooper now has Cash Clicks!!!

2010-10-26T15:12:00.000-05:00

Just when I thought TreasureTrooper.com couldn't outdo themselves they do it again! A while back they used to have cash clicks in which if you clicked on a link they would give you 5 cents for each link you clicked on, but you could only click on each link once every 24 hours. Well...they brough Cash Clicks back again! So now, they feature new links for you to click on, so you have to do them early in the day, but if you do so early in the day, you can get 5 cents for each link that sucessfully comes up. However they do go fast so you have to get them early in order to get the money. But if you can get them each day, for each link, it's a free 5 cents in your account which if you can get them every day it's like adding 5 cents into your piggy bank for each link you click.

Right now, TreasureTrooper only features a couple links right now, but they've promised to add more links each and every day, so the more links they have and you can get them each day, it's like a little chunk of free change in your pocket that adds up over time and at the end of the month, you get paid!

Folks, if you haven't signed up yet, you've GOT to sign up so that you can earn some free cash in your pocket every single month! Sign up today!

2010-10-15T17:47:00.000-05:00

TreasureTrooper's FACEBOOK Application!

2010-10-12T16:49:00.001-05:00

Here is yet another little idea to help IF you decide to register and join TreasureTrooper.com to help you earn extra money. Are you currently using Facebook? If you are, then you can't lose as TreasureTrooper is also on Facebook as well!

For example...say you're on facebook and you have a ton of friends that follow you. If you sign up for TreasureTrooper and register, you can use TreasureTrooper's Facebook application to help you get your friends to sign up under your name. And remember the more people who sign up for TreasureTrooper, the site has promised to provide more contests, more chances for cash back, even free cash put into your account if you sign up with TreasureTrooper. Remember, for each referral you bring in, you get 20% percent of whatever THEY get from their earnings paid. So if you get one referral that makes 50 bucks for themselves, you get $10 bucks back in your name because they are your referral. Now imagine if you got all of your friends who are on Facebook to sign up under your name and they all made just the minimum of say just $25 bucks. That would be $5 dollars in your pocket for EVERY person who signed up. How many friends do you have? 20? 50? 100? 1000? That could quickly turn into a MONSTER chunk of change in your pocket for getting all of those people to sign up under your name and have them do just the bare minimum of offers, surveys and whatever they earn.

Not to mention TreasureTrooper also features free giveaways to people who subscribe to Facebook and TreasureTrooper and have the TreasureTrooper application as well. This past week, all you have to do was tell your friends about a particular deal they had with DirectTV (look below...I've already talked about that in a previous blog HERE) and if you posted what they told you to post and submit your account number for TreasureTrooper, they gave you a free buck in your account...all for telling your friends about TreasureTrooper! They do this sometimes every week!

Now here's my favorite for the TreasureTrooper application...I love playing slots. And TreasureTrooper lets you play their slot game once a day in which you can collect items from the slot game. If you gather all of the items they are asking for...you WIN $100 bucks on your account for playing! How cool is that??? Folks, if you want to make some great money, you have to not only join TreasureTrooper, but you've got to get your friends to sign up as well on the Facebook application they have. It's fantastic!

CASH SURVEYS THRU TREASURETROOPER (and DRAGONS)!!!

2010-10-10T16:42:00.000-05:00

Here is yet ANOTHER way to make a set amount of money from TreasureTrooper without even having to do ONE offer at TreasureTrooper. Don't like doing offers at all? No problem. TreasureTrooper has a Cash Survey section in which they offer new surveys each and every day that you can complete for money.

Here's how to do it:

First, sign up at TreasureTrooper.com and register your info.
Log in.
Go to the MEMBERS section of the home page, and look for CASH SURVEYS. Click it.
This is what it will look like:

From here just click on each survey and follow the survey instructions. Complete each survey to where you get a "CONGRADULATIONS" message saying you've completed the survey and once TreasureTrooper can verify that the survey has been completed, it will give you cash for completing the survey. Now, if you completed a survey each and every day for survey #1, #2, and #3, you would make $2.50 cents each day. If you completed each of these surveys for 30 days straight...that's $75 bucks every single MONTH that TreasureTrooper would pay you, and you wouldn't have to complete a single offer!

Now here is the bonus. On top of completing each survey, you also get Dragon Scales. Dragon Scales can be used to purchase Dragon eggs, which if you raise and take care of these eggs, you'll get a baby dragon! If you raise and take care of that baby dragon, the dragon will mature into an adult and you can breed them with other dragons to get rare dragons. And here's the best part...the more dragons you can breed and raise, you'll be able to sell the dragons off for CASH! Extra bonus! So the more scales you get, the more you can use them to raising Dragons for cash on top of the surveys you already collect cash for anyways! HOW COOL IS THAT? And you don't even have to do one offer to make that type of money! And the best part, if you want to earn extra scales, you can also do that as well with surveys #4, 5, and 6!!!

TreasureTrooper has so many ways to make money it's crazy. So sign up today! You'd be crazy not to!!!

CASH SHOPPING THRU TREASURETROOPER!

2010-10-07T18:03:00.001-05:00

Here's another really cool idea from TreasureTrooper.com that can't be missed. Do you shop online? Chances are in today's world and if you're reading this, you do already. Let's face it, today a lot of people shop online for many things because they don't have the time to shop or like to order services on line in order to not only save time but money as well. For me personally, now that the Christmas season is coming around the corner, and yeah, I get the Christmas blah's like every else does, then going to the mall around Christmas time is not only a chore but can be a real downer dealing with finding parking, dealing with the crowds, and the nasty salespeople with bad attitudes. You just don't want to deal with the hassles that that has to offer because it ruins the Christmas spirit of giving. So a lot of people today are shopping ONLINE to avoid the hassles of dealing with all of that junk.

So the answer is this...wouldn't you like to earn some cash back shopping at the stores online that you already might shop at this Christmas? SURE YOU WOULD!!! Who wouldn't? Well here's another tip on how to shop online and save some money at the same time.

Sign up for TreasureTrooper.com today by clicking the link I've provided or just click on the word that's highlighted.
Once you've signed up and registered at TreasureTrooper.com, go to their Members section on the HOME page once you've logged in and click on the CASH SHOPPING. There you'll find HUNDREDS of links to shop from from stores you might already visit. Don't believe me? How about some of these stores!!!

1-800 Flowers.com - GET 4% CASH BACK on ANYTHING you order. For example, my mom's birthday is on the 25th this month. I spent a sub-total of 42.98 ordering her a nice bouquet of flowers for her birthday. After everything said and done, 4% of 42.98 is roughly $1.72 back. Again not much, but a little extra back in the pocket adds up.
Shop at WalMart.com? - How about 2% back on anything except electronics which they'll give 0.75% back on anything you spend? Again not much, but imagine spending say 100.00, 200.00, or more and the money adds up. If you bought 200.00 bucks in items at WalMart that you already spend on a daily basis, that's $4 dollars back in your pocket for free. Or if you bought say a brand new HDTV worth $1000.00 bucks there then you'd get 0.75 percent back, you'd get $7.50 back!
How about The Body Shop store at BodyShop.com? Anything you order...4% percent back!

Now I know, some of these are small percentages, but if you do a lot of Christmas shopping from some of these stores, the money you spend will add up and the money you get back will add up as well! And you might be thinking, eh, that's ok, but what stores do they have there? How about these other stores?

The Popcorn Factory.com - 4% percent back for anything you purchase!
Apple iTunes.com - 2.5% percent back for anything you purchase! (and if you purchase songs like crazy, this can add up to a TON of money back!)
Fredericks of Hollywood.com - 3% percent back!
Hotwire.com - 1% back for anything you purchase (This is great for getting money back on trips back to see the family for the holidays or to get away from it all!)
LaneBryant.com - 2.5% percent back and it's great for the ladies to shop for themselves!
Macy.com - 2% percent back on ANYTHING from Macy's!
Orbitz.com - Get $2.50 cents for ANY FLIGHT you purchase through Orbitz!
Magazines.com - Get 17.5% back on anything you purchase!
Lego Store.com - Do you have a young kid who loves Lego's? How about getting an extra 1.5% percent back on anything you order?
Enterprize-Rent-A-Car.com - Need to rent a car for a trip for the holiday's? How about getting back 0.5 percent back on anything you rent? And if you rent for the week, that could be a couple hundred bucks, so the money adds up quickly!
Footlocker.com - What the best sports apparel for the holiday season? Athletic wear? Shoes? How about saving an extra 2.5% percent back on anything you purchase through the website?
TigerDirect.com - Are you a big computer person? How about purchasing a nice new HDTV for Christmas? How does an extra 1% percent cash back sound? A $1000 dollar purchase would bring you back and extra $10 bucks back in your pocket!

Folks there are over 200 hundred stores to choose from if you shop with TreasureTrooper, and while the savings may not be huge, buy purchasing through TreasureTrooper, you go to special websites which are made for them in which they give you extra bonues and cash back just through purchasing through their special website. Again for example, the bouquet of flowers I bought...the arrangement I bought was a special fall bouquet which would have run 69.00 dollars. I got it for 42.98, which included shipping on sale by purchasing it through TreasureTrooper's website, and I STILL made the extra $1.72 in cash back because I purchased it through TreasureTrooper's weblinks. The amount of money you can save is HUGE!

So remember, if you're looking for yet another way to save money, TreasureTrooper.com is truly the way to go this holiday season. You can't go wrong!

2010-10-05T11:47:00.004-05:00

Ok, if anyone is contemplating of signing up for DirectTV in the near future, you HAVE to read this because I'm about to save you ~~$125.00~~ ( NOW $180 !!!) dollars in cash if you sign up. That can be used for four free months of DirectTV as a rebate to pay them off, or you can put that cash back in your pocket, however you choose! Here's how to do it.

First sign up for TreasureTrooper by clicking the link HERE!
Next, once you've signed up and registered with all of the correct information, go to the CASH OFFERS section on the main page once you've signed in. It should be on the upper left hand side under MEMBERS.
You should now be in the CASH OFFERS section. From here you'll see a list of the surveys, quizes, and offers listed. Pan down towards the bottom and look for the DirectTV offer. It's here that TreasureTrooper is offering ~~$125.00~~ ( Again now $180 bucks!!! ) for you to sign up with DirectTV. Now imagine signing up when DirectTV offers their extras on TOP OF THIS and the amount of money you'll save will be HUGE!
Once you've signed up, click the DONE button so the offer can be credited to your account.
Now, you'll have to wait for the offer to approve, but once it does, TreasureTrooper will credit your account with ~~$125.00~~ (now $180) bucks in your account. At the end of the month, they'll tabulate the payments, and on the 15th of the next month, TreasureTrooper will either pay you ~~$125~~ (Are you listening??? IT'S NOW $180 BUCKS!!!) bucks in your Paypal account OR send out a check in the mail and a few days later, you get paid!

The offer which was $125 dollars in 10/01/10 and was ungraded to $175 a week ago is NOW $180.00 dollars back if you sign up for DirectTV.

How TreasureTrooper.com Works

2010-10-03T15:21:00.000-05:00

How It Works

TreasureTrooper.com is a free service that provides you with several money-making opportunities. Simply register by providing your name, email address, password, and payment information. You will receive a confirmation email shortly after.
Complete some offers. We have hundreds of offers ranging in payout from $.50 to $50.00. Most of them are completely free! Once you've completed an offer, click the corresponding 'Done' button to indicate its completion. The offer will then be added to your 'Pending Offers' page (on the 'My Treasure' tab) to await verification.
As offers are verified, they are moved from the 'Pending Offers' page to the 'Approved Offers' page and the money will be added to your earnings on your 'My Treasure' page. Along with the money, you will receive gold coins which you can redeem for items at the Trading Hut that will help you on your journey! (Side note from AGNJoe: You can not only do offers for money, but now you can also do offers for Platinum Coins and Dragon Scales as well. Platinum coins can be used on the site to purchase giftacards, videogame systems, Ipods, and other fun prizes. Dragon Scales are used in order to help earn dragon eggs which will hatch into dragons. Dragons then can over time produce more dragons and those dragon scales can be sold for more money!)
Payments are processed on the 15th of each month and sent by the 20th. Your payment will only be made if you earned a minimum of 20 dollars by the last day of the previous month. If you don't reach the minimum payment by month's end, your balance will be carried over to the next month.
Refer your friends to TreasureTrooper and get an extra 20% of whatever they make for life! In addition, you'll get 5% commission from anybody that your friends refer. You can literally make hundreds of dollars this way! (Side note from AGNJoe: Let's use an example of this to show you how you can make money for referrals. Say you earn just the minimun of $20 dollars in one month and during that time you've signed 5 friends directly under you. If they earned the minimum of 20 dollars each month as well, you get $4 dollars from each of them (20% of 20.00 is 4.00) TIMES 5 = $20 extra dollars! Now, say your five friends each sign up 5 people EACH. If each of the 5 people for that month earn say just 10 dollars that month, and they don't even have to reach the payout, you are credited .50 cents for each one of those 2nd referrals TIMES 25 people as 5 people under 5 people is 25 people total that your friends have total is 12.50 cents more! So if we follow the example: You = 20.00 for one month + your five friends earning $20 = you getting $20 more dollars + your friends each have 5 friends, which is 5 X 5 =25 friends that all earn just $10 dollars that month = 12.50 more in earnings gives you a total of 52.50 you can earn in one MONTH ALONE! Now if they all stay active and earn more money, times that by 12 months and you could earn hundreds more, maybe even over a thousand dollars in ONE YEAR'S TIME! Nice huh?)
Get involved in the many other aspects of our site like forum contests, Jack's Jackpot, and Treasure Hunts. The current Treasure Hunt is for the lost statue of the Mambiko Tribe and is worth $100 to anybody who finds it. There is no limit to the number of people that can win this treasure! Start by purchasing the map in the Trading Hut! (Side note from AGNJoe: And this is not only the only bonus contest Treasure Trooper does. If you also have Facebook, TreasureTrooper features TreasureTrooper SLOTS, in which for each gold coin you earn, it gives you a chance to make a pull on your slot machine to earn money, more gold coins, and if you match up over time all of the items on the slot machine you win $100 dollars from TreasureTrooper! Also in the TreasureTrooper Forums, they feature a ton of contests and prizes you could win! The Forum section features a monthly Treasure Hunt in which you have to find things that the moderators will want you to find. Be the first one to find it, and you can win the grand prize of $50 bucks or more depending on the Monthly prize! I mean I could go on for hours listing all of the contests that TreasureTrooper has to offer as they give away THOUSANDS of dollars in money and prizes each and every month. But you won't know until you sign up at TreasureTrooper.com today, so SIGN UP! And I've made it easy for you as all you've got to do is to just click the links at TreasureTrooper.com I've provided. It's THAT EASY!)

Introduction!

2010-10-02T11:10:00.000-05:00

Welcome! For those of you who are new, I'm AGNJoe, which is short for A Guy Named Joe, but everyone calls me AGNJoe for short. I know there are millions of blogposts and sites dedicated to how to earn money. And millions of those sites, as you well know by now are scams dedicated to ripping people off for money and their hard earned time as well. I decided to post this blog in order to help the everyday Joe, like myself earn a little extra cash, so that they can have a little extra green in their pocket. Now this is NOT a get rich quick scam, but if you are willing to put in a little bit of effort, you can make some extra cash in your pocket, like myself. And in at most within six to seven weeks, I can get you at least 20 bucks in cash paid to you either via a check or via Paypal which can then be transfered into your bank.

Now, most of you are thinking...I want money NOW! Well, I'm here to tell you, there's no get rich quick deal out there. If anyone is telling you this the only person who's going to get rich quick is off of the fools who give THAT person money in order to find out how and then THEY get scammed. But I want to help you find a simple way that's not only fool-proof, it's also fun as well. How? Simple.

A few years ago, I signed onto one of the greatest GPT sites out there called TreasureTrooper.com. Now for those of you who have heard of Treasure Trooper but have been wary, this site is NOT a scam site whatsoever. I've been a member now of this site for more than 4+ years, and the site celebrated it's 5th anniversary as a GPT site. This is the longest I've known ANY GPT site out there existing. And I've been to a bunch of them and most of them fold within the first year and barely any of these sites last past two years.

(I'm sorry! For the NEW people who do not know, a GPT site is called a GET PAID TO site. A get-paid-to site are sites that if you click on their ads, or complete surveys, questionaires, or sign up for services that you might already want within your life already, if you go to that site, sign up and register at that site, and complete what they want you to click on, you get paid money to complete offers that they feature. Thus it's called in short a GPT site. Alright back to your regularly scheduled blogpost...)

Anyway, back to what we were talking about...the site I've most used to make money is called TreasureTrooper.com, (just click the link if you want to check it out and sign up) and it not only one of the best sites out there, it's reliable, and I also have made well over 300 dollars so far and this month I'll get paid another $24.85 this month for participating in completed offers that I've done so far. Don't believe me? I've got proof!

This is the listing of how much I've made so far dated Saturday, October 2nd, 2010 of $333.00. Need more proof? Go to TreasureTrooper.com and see for yourself! And if you still don't believe me, I'll post actual proof on October 15th, 2010, which is this month to help show you the paypal posting as that is when I get paid my latest money payment!

I'll also show you in the upincoming blogs how to use this site to help put extra cash in your pocket. So stay tuned to my blog for more info on how to use this site.
