Sorry I haven't posted in SO long, the hectic-ness of the Holiday season is setting in!! Anyhoo...haven't been doing too much with the money-making the past few weeks, but I did want to report that I received my first CashCrate check!! I'm so excited!!

So don't be afraid to sign up (click on the banner at the top of the page) you WILL get paid!!

Another PineCone survey payment!!

I completed another survey through PineCone, and got $5.00 in my PayPal today! Awesome!

Pity Party....

I had a discussion with the hubby last night regarding Christmas. He said he won't let me use the credit card for gifts if I run out of money this year (which is a very likely possibility, since I made a budget snafu last week).

We have four kids, and besides them, we have 24, yes TWENTY-FOUR other people to buy gifts for. It's horrible. He tells me I can make homemade gifts like I have in the past, which I love to do, but it's not like the supplies are free, you know??

Obviously, my online money-making isn't going all that well, I'm really at a loss with niche blogging, as it turns out, I'm not a very good writer!!

I'm just really sad and discouraged today....

Grand Re-Opening!

noreply@blogger.com (AvonMomma) — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 03:32:00 +0000

You probably don't know that I have been an Avon rep for a few years now. I kind of went on hiatus after my youngest was born almost 14 months ago. I've just been putting in personal orders, and some for family and friends.

I think I'm now ready to get my business back!! An Avon business is really a great way to make money, and if you're willing to do the work (which I wasn't always willing to do!), you can really make a lot of money.

I'm not shooting for the stars right now, my goal is only to pay the girl's tuition payment with my earnings, which is $400/month.

Wish me luck, and let me know if you want to see a brochure or place an order!!

Earnings Update

noreply@blogger.com (AvonMomma) — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 03:24:00 +0000

I thought I would update you all on the money I have actually earned thus far:

Associated Content: $5.01
Mystery Shopping: $22.40
CraigsList: $30.00
CashCrate $34.96 (waiting on check this month)

So, it's not that much, and I will surely fall short of my goal, but at least it's something, right?

Found a Great Resource!

noreply@blogger.com (AvonMomma) — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 14:33:00 +0000

I found this blog, and am LOVING it!! Check out Mike's Money Making Mission. Mike is a fellow who wanted to make money using free blogs, and no capital outlay!! His blog shows how he went from $0 to making $265 per week with FREE blogs!

My resources are limited and I sure could use $265/week!! Needless to say, I'll be reading my eyeballs out. He really seems to have a lot of information on how to go about things on his site.

I thought I would link him here, since my limited audience is probably people in the same boat as me, so I thought you might enjoy!

Sorry I've been away!

noreply@blogger.com (AvonMomma) — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 20:00:00 +0000

Hey all! So sorry I haven't been posting lately, the entire house got a stomach bug, so I haven't been on the computer much.

Sadly, I haven't done any earnings activities, either, except a few mystery shops. I've still be raking in some CashCrate money, though, from my awesome and much appreciated referrals!!

I've got an idea for my first niche site, I have to choose a decent domain and get that set up.

Hope all you fellow earners are doing awesome, and I promise to report more!

Submitted another article to AC

noreply@blogger.com (AvonMomma) — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 16:02:00 +0000

I have submitted my second article to Associated Content. Let's hope it gets published! I wrote a beginner's guide to Mystery Shopping. As you can see, mystery shopping is big with me!!

I have three more shops scheduled, and am really enjoying it! I have been rated a "5" so far on all of my completed shops, which is the highest you can get.

Article writing has been fun for me, but I don't know how all of you who write several articles a day do it!! I mean, what do you all write about?? I guess I just have to brainstorm some ideas, and get writing!

Mystery Shopping Madness!

noreply@blogger.com (AvonMomma) — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 04:19:00 +0000

I've been busy the last few days, registering with different mystery shopping companies, and doing shops. I shopped a national retail chain today, checking out a Halloween promotion. I don't think they did all that well. But that's besides the point.

Mystery shopping is a fun and easy way to earn some extra money, and even get perks like free merchandise, movies, even restaurant meals. I'm learning a lot about the industry, and am thinking about becoming certified. Yes, you can get certified as a mystery shopper!

Stay tuned!

Please excuse the mess...

noreply@blogger.com (AvonMomma) — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 22:05:00 +0000

I'm under renovations, and my template has gone berzerk, and I can't get it right, no matter how many times I re-install from scratch!

Bear with me!

Want to get your link on?

I sold my first article!!

noreply@blogger.com (AvonMomma) — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 15:59:00 +0000

I'm so excited! I sold my first article on Associated Content!! I wrote an an article on cloth diapering, and I got an offer of $5.01 today! It's not all that much, but it's something!! I'm especially excited, because it was a rewrite of an article that was rejected at first!! Happy Dance!

I got CashCrate referrals!

noreply@blogger.com (AvonMomma) — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 12:51:00 +0000

I was checking on my CashCrate earnings (over $27 so far) and noticed that I have two referrals! I assume I got them from my illustrious blog readers, so thank you!!! If you don't know about CashCrate, check it out HERE.

CashCrate pays you real money for filling out surveys, doing trial offers, registering on different websites. It's a simple way to earn extra money, with very little effort! I still have over $50 pending in my account, so I can't wait for that money to approve, and to get my first check!

Applied to another mystery shop company!

noreply@blogger.com (AvonMomma) — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 21:27:00 +0000

My first mystery shop went very well. I have now applied to a second company, so I can book more jobs. Cross your fingers that I am accepted!

Booked my first Mystery Shop!

noreply@blogger.com (AvonMomma) — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 18:28:00 +0000

It only pays $3 commission, but I get reimbursed for a purchase up to $14! It's at my daughter's favorite clothing shop, so there's a FREE Christmas gift right there!

CraigsList sale!

noreply@blogger.com (AvonMomma) — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 00:20:00 +0000

I sold one of my extra car seats on CraigsList! Woo-hoo! $30 more towards my goal!

My first affiliate product!

noreply@blogger.com (AvonMomma) — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 17:04:00 +0000

I have started promoting my first affiliate product from ClickBank. It's a pregnancy fitness book called Pregnancy Without Pounds. Check it out!!

I should have a Squidoo lens up about it very shortly!! Wish me luck!

Another site I have joined...

noreply@blogger.com (AvonMomma) — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 18:43:00 +0000

SendEarnings.com Looks like another GPT site, I have already earned $5.80. You have to earn $30 to request a check. There are several ways to earn on this site, including Daily Cash Surveys, and paid e-mails.

Others have been getting money from them, so I'm going to give them a try! I'll keep you posted!

Click here to take a look!

Make that $18.40!

It takes money to make money?

noreply@blogger.com (AvonMomma) — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 20:21:00 +0000

Posing a question to my fellow cash-chasers!! Would you consider it wise to invest some of my online earnings to pay for the higher-paying deals?? Are you able to cancel things easily before incurring further charges??

I await your advise!

Pinecone pays!

noreply@blogger.com (AvonMomma) — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 19:07:00 +0000

After years of wanting to get in on the sweet action that is Pinecone surveys, I finally got my wish! I did my first survey on Friday, and got paid via PayPal today!

Which bring my grand total earnings for October to $5.00! Less than impressive I know, but just give me time!!!

And away we go!

noreply@blogger.com (AvonMomma) — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 22:04:00 +0000

I've been introduced recently to the concept of making money online. The idea has intrigued me, and while I am still a beginner (a REAL beginner!), I decided to start this block to chronicle my progress.

It's not my intent to become one of those "internet millionaires", my main goal is just to raise some extra cash for my family of six. My first goal is to raise $500 for extra Christmas spending money. Iwould like to accomplish this goal my December 1st. Is it feasible? I'm sure I don't know. But I have seen people earning well over $1000 a month, so I know it CAN be done!

I've started a few "paid to read e-mails" programs, as well as one GPT (Get Paid To) program. Also, I've started a neat game-oriented GPT, which will probably be more for grins, but we'll see!
