Viggle App for the iPhone Earns Great Rewards

2012-05-10T22:37:00.001-07:00

I recently started using an app for my iPhone. It is called Viggle. This app is a lot of fun and really easy to use. It is a free download though the iTunes store.

When you go into this App, you can earn bonus points and also earn points for watching television. You simply click a button to check in and it listens to your TV.

You then get points for watching TV. You do not earn a lot of points for normal shows, but every single night they offer huge bonus points for the main shows on television.

The bonus points are easy! You watch a video that is usually about a 30 seconds long and get an extra 15 points or so.

When I first started doing this app, I wasn't sure about it. Now today I went and checked out the rewards. I had enough points to get a $10 iTunes gift card so I thought I would cash out to try it. I was given the code for the reward right then! Most companies such as My Points or Swagbucks make you wait weeks to get your reward. Viggle gave it to me right away. I put it in my iTunes account and it worked.

I am going to keep using Viggle. It is fun and easy! You won't get rich from this app, but I am playing on my phone all the time anyway so why not?

'One Tree Hill' season 9 challenges

2012-04-11T17:03:00.000-07:00

In season 9 of "One Tree Hill," we had to watch the characters all deal with their own problems and challenges. Brooke and Julian had to learn how to be the parents of twins. I do not have twins, but I could totally relate to them. I had to go through the challenge of being a mother on my own while my husband was deployed. Dealing with a newborn and a toddler at the same time was hard, but you realize you have strengths that you never knew you had! I loved watching them learn how to do it all and even dealing with sleepless nights.

If you love "One Tree Hill," you can get a copy of season 9 on DVD or Ultraviolet.

Rascal Flatts CD "Changed" Review

2012-04-09T07:27:00.002-07:00

Rascal Flatts recently came out with a new CD titled "Changed." This group recently went to a new record company and things are going well for them.

I am a huge fan of country music, but over the years I have had mixed feelings about the group Rascal Flatts. I felt like a lot of their music was starting to sound alike, but "Changed" is exactly what the title says about the album. This does not sound like their normal music. Yes it does have a ballad or two, but there are a few more upbeat songs that have a different sound to them. I enjoyed this more than I have ever enjoyed a Rascal Flatts CD.

No matter what you think about this group, you can't go wrong with the vocals of Joe Don Rooney. His voice is flawless and sounds amazing in every song.

I have to say that "Banjo" is the song on the album that keeps getting stuck in my head. This song is catchy and fun. "She's Leaving" is a song that will have you dancing in your chair. It is about heartbreak, but not one of those sad sappy country songs, bu instead an upbeat fun song to dance to about someone leaving.

I would recommend this album to anyone who loves country music and wants to give Rascal Flatts a chance. You can check out their website as well.

I received a review copy from One2OneNetwork for this post.

'One Tree Hill' Season 9 Ends with Returning Characters

2012-04-05T21:28:00.000-07:00

"One Tree Hill" ended last night and I have to admit it almost hurt to delete the season pass on the DVR. This show is something I have loved for all nine season. You can even buy the DVD and I think it is a must have for sure.

I was so excited to see them bring back some of the characters we fell in love with over the years. It was amazing to see Chad Michael Murray come back as Lucas Scott. This character grabbed our hearts and fans were sad to see him go. It was also great to get to see Keith Scott return and talk to his brother Dan after his passing.

In the series finale, they brought back Bevin. It was great to see Skillz end with his one true love. She had not changed at all and was still gorgeous. What did you think of the finale of the show?

'One Tree Hill' season 9: Its all coming to an end!

2012-03-27T19:32:00.000-07:00

The final episode of "One Tree Hill" is only two weeks away. This episode is called "One Tree Hill" just like the show. This final season on DVD is going to be a must buy in my opinion.

It is hard to describe my emotions about this show ending. Yes it is just a show, but this one has been important to me for all nine season. Every time it is on that would be my thing to look forward to for the week. If I was having a bad week, I knew watching "One Tree Hill" would make me forget about the trouble and think about the show instead.

The love story between Lucas and Peyton was one of my favorites. When they left the show, I wondered how it could leave on, but they did an amazing job with the other character. They brought in Clay and Quinn and I quickly loved their story as well. I am going to miss this show!

If you know anything about me, you realize that "One Tree Hill" is one of my favorite shows of all time! My job has some great perks and one of them is free swag from shows.

Recently I was sent props from the set of "One Tree Hill." This is awesome! I got a sketch book that was used by Hilarie Burton as Peyton. I also got a picture of Peyton and Brooke and a bumper sticker from when Karen Roe ran for Mayor.

This is what the back of the picture has on it.

What is Hubpages?

2012-02-01T11:41:00.000-08:00

Today I am sharing another guest post with you about Hubpages. This is another great site to write at home! It is from Clarissa. You can check out here blog as well!

Hubpages is a publishing platform that allows anyone to publish literally anything as long as it is unique content. Anyone can publish anything from short stories to articles to poetry. As long as it is not taken from anywhere else on the Internet then it is perfectly fine to publish it on Hubpages.

Signing up or Hubpages is free and easy. If you have an email address you can sign up. You will be earning through several different venues such as Google Adsense so you will need an Adsense account. Don't worry, that is free too. Hubpages also has their own ads program where you can earn from people reading your articles. It is a lucrative venue to use and can earn you decent money if you get enough readers.

Other ways to earn through Hubpages is the eBay program and Amazon. This is where you add eBay and Amazon products to your Hubs. You will earn a commission every time someone purchases something from eBay or Amazon through your links. If you pick the right keywords or products, you can earn pretty good through these too.

You will need to create unique content that is 100% your own writing. If they find you are copying from someone else online, your account could be suspended. You can publish anything you want as long as it is not in a derogatory manner. Remember, you are writing for a lot of people so you will want to write good quality PG content. Hubpages can be a fun place to write, publish and earn if you use it the way it is supposed to be used.

Another cool thing about Hubpages is the Google Analytics section where you can check how your traffic is doing and where it is coming from. This is free to sign up and use also.

To recap:

Hubpages is free to sign up using your email address, a user name and password.

You can earn through several platforms including Google Adsense, Hubpages Ad Program, eBay and Amazon.

You need to write unique and family friendly content.

Some people are earning pretty good through Hubpages but it could take quite some time. You should develop a following on there and follow people back. You should also read and comment on others hubs so they will do the same for you. Publish as often as you can also. Basically, it is just like a blog where you can write about what you want and earn from it at the same time. Just relax and enjoy yourself when writing for Hubpages because that is what it is all about, Fun!

Great Boss

My boss told me about clear high speed and it’s actually been really helpful. She saw that I was doing a lot of my bill pay and online banking and stuff at work and obviously that’s not exactly where I’m supposed to be doing it so it was nice when she suggested a cheap way for me to get internet at home so I could stop wasting the company’s dime. She’s actually a really good boss – super compassionate and easy to talk to – and I think that’s why I’ve stayed at this job for so long. I don’t actually love the work but I do love being able to work autonomously and not having to be at my desk for exactly 8 hours a day to get paid. I think it’s important that employers give their minions a certain level of freedom otherwise they’re not able to prove to themselves that they can do the job. They need to be trusted, that instills good work ethic, and my boss is good at that.
