As we all know, the economy is not exactly in the best shape of its life right now. It is reasonable to be a bit skeptical when trying to figure out what the best ways to invest your money for the future. But even during more stable economic times, it is always a good idea to do your homework when it comes to protecting (and even growing) your nest egg. These days, many people are using online savings accounts to keep track of their savings. The ease and convenience of online banking is a ver... Read Full Story

What better way to celebrate the publication of a new book that to have a contest? You bet I’m all over this one… Joshua Anderson, the guy behind AGreedyGenius.com has just released his new book, eBay Elite: Acheive Perfect Success on PayPal and eBay, and he’s holding one heck of a contest to promote this. What’s the prize? Well, you probably know by now that unless it’s something pretty sweet, I won’t really waste my time fooling around with entering. So... Read Full Story

Well, I’m still all business when it comes to making money. But for those who may not be so inclined as to try to do the online work, there’s always brick-and-mortar stuff. In these wild financial times, it may seem hard to get started with your own business. I wanted to share this article that I found while digging through About.com, about “Which Franchise is Safe to Buy Right Now?”. With the current state of the economy, it’s hard to tell what is a safe investm... Read Full Story

I would like to apologize for my lack of work on this blog. I’ve been so busy with my other blogs that this one just slipped my mind. Well, that and the fact that for some reason WP dot com crashes FireFox 3. How much do I love you? Enough to stoop to using IE (aaaiiieiieeeeee!!!!) to blog this stuff with. Blah. I sure hope you all appreciate this. So what’s going on with the project? I’ve wrote a couple neat articles that you should check out. Go on! http://thesugarbuzzproj... Read Full Story

A confession. Sort of. Back in the day, I used to hang out with goth people. Some of you may think that’s strange, but I don’t. They are some of the nicest folks I have ever hung out with, and they are wonderful people. If you don’t know any, I would recommend that you meet some. A good place to start would be Goth Chat City. You can chat with other like minded goths…or just stare at the screen with disgust. Either way, goth people are awesome in my book. Go check out ... Read Full Story

…rock you like a…Ike? So, yeah, I’m waiting for Ike to get here. I’m not exactly on the gulf coast, but I am in the path that the storm is supposed to take, so I’m just hanging out. Waiting. We’ve got a small hoard of family members (from my wife’s side) staying here to get out of harm’s way. Had some grilled burgers…mmmm. I got some new speakers today. I’m supposed to write a review of them. I’m sure that means that soon the r... Read Full Story

I try to do my best to stay on top of decent contests, and this is another one. For those who have not found this site yet, tenmilliondollarsg.com is a pixel site. What is that? It’s a site where you can purchase pixel links to your own site. How does that benefit you as a blogger? Easy. In a word…back links. OK, perhaps that counts as two words… Reading over their site, it seems (and I could be wrong) that they are trying to earn ten million dollars with their site buy sel... Read Full Story

Wow. I just looked at the clock. I was going to start off by saying what my plans were for this morning (since I managed to sleep in a bit), but now I realize that it’s about three minutes past noon. Noon is a funny word. Nooooooooooooooooooonuh. OK, so my plans for this afternoooooonuh are this: 1. Make some money online. 2. Make some more money online. I doubt I will be able to reach either of these goals, but hey, it’s worth a shot, right? I should definitely use this particula... Read Full Story

Sometimes (especially when you own a company) it’s necessary to do a bit of research on your employees. Not too much, but some. Also, it can be a lot of fun to research your family history. Ever wonder where your crazy last name came from? Well, it’s getting easier every day to do just that - to research your family history. One of the more important things you can use to find out about your family is Marriage License Records, which will help you find out who your real grandpa is&... Read Full Story

Well, I was successfully able to land a new driving job. Not that I really care to drive a big rig across the country, but hey, whatever pays the bills, right? I will now be hauling countertops. Yes. Counter tops. You know, those things in your kitchen that hold your sink up? Should be an interesting new job. Sure beats dealing with poison gasses in the oilfield. No H2S in countertops. I can’t figure out if that’s supposed to be one word or two… Read Full Story
