Sorry I've been slow

I haven't written for a little while, because I've been discouraged at my attempts to monetize my blog. After having a great streak last month, making a little over 80 dollars on smorty.com , I've been having a dry streak. I've signed up so far for 4 different pay per post sites, and smorty was my only real success, but only for last month.

Here are my totals for last month:
Smorty= $81.60
Blogging Ads= $0.00
Blogsvertise= $10.00
Sponsored Reviews= $0.00Review Me= $10.00

So, sadly, it's a lot less than I expected. But, I'm still doing my research and I will keep you posted.

In the meantime, if you have an interest for Eastern Healing, you can learn along with me at my new blog.

Surveys that don't take you in loops and actually PAY!!

After trying a lot of websites that pay for surveys, I finally stumbled upon one that is super user-friendly and actually pays out. This site gives you a list of offers and shows which ones will require a credit card and there is also one-line description of what you'll have to do. You can skip over the ones that require a credit card, so you don't have to worry about having to cancel any free trials that you sign up. One offer was to create a new account for ebay and bid. I registered an account with another email address that I have and then I bid on something that I knew I wouldn't win, and I made 8 dollars for this. You also earn 20% of what the people you refer earn and 10% of what their referrals earn. If you refer enough people, you can earn just off of that. I would also suggest making a new email account, because you will have to enter your email address in all the surveys, and you don't want your primary inbox filling up. Give it a try.

Sponsored Post- Farrey's Ceiling Fans

Just a couple weeks ago, I went to an open house and while I was there, I just couldn't take my eyes off the wonderful renovations the couple had made. One thing in particular that I noticed were ceiling fans the ceiling fan. I was really one of a kind. I got interested and started researching different ceiling fans. I was then offered to post about this and had to do it. There are so many different makes and models and it really helped to go to Farrey's Ceiling Fans to be able to view everything easily and get the best deals. On this website, I became a huge fan of the modern ceiling fans . They have a sleek look and the prices could not be any better. I didn't expect that it would cost so little to get a ceiling fan. This website will help you get the perfect fan for your needs with suitable customizations. For all you craftsmade fans check out the "quest" fan. It's definitely my favorite on that page.

Udpate- Making real money now! smorty, google, entrecard

OK, so to keep everyone updated on my quests out on the internet to make money. Smorty is by far my favorite site for sponsored post offers. In a little more than a week now, I have made over 80 dollars now. They pay out every week, straight to your paypal account. Now, how much you are offered for your posts depends on a smorty score. This is somehow calculated by looking at the ratio of your sponsored posts vs. regular posts, and your page rank.



I was worried that I was losing out on page rank, because I wasn't sure if I was having many visitors to my site. I signed up here to monitor the size of my traffic and how many visitors I was getting. When I first signed up for these reports, I had 5 visitors or so a day. I knew something had to be done to increase my traffic.

I was reading some posts at John Chow's blog and saw something called enrecard. I decided to sign up, not knowing what it is, because that's really the only way to learn what something really is. It seems confusing unless you try it yourself, but basically you create a card with your site or blog name and a tag line. Then you go around dropping your card on different people's site, so that they learn about your site and to give them a visit. Once you drop your card on their site, it shows up in their inbox on their dashboard on this site. They then click on your card, so you get a visit. Every time you drop a card, or someone drops a card for you, you get a credit. You can then use these credits to buy a day advertising spot on someone's page, where your card will show all day. People also may choose to buy space on your site, and you earn credits for that as well. Although you don't earn direct money from this, it does increase your page rank, which allows for other sites to offer you more and you may increase your adsense earnings as well. Click on the "e" on the entrecard to the right to learn more.

More to come as I make more money.

Sponsored Post - Dyson Vacuum Cleaner

I can not express how excited I am to finally have a chance to blog about Dyson vacuum cleaner. I have this scary obsession with cleaning, and I know that there is no vacuum better than the Dyson. I actually prepared a presentation on why my household needed to purchase a Dyson cleaner. There was a dog in the house and the Dyson would be the only vacuum that would really get in there and not leave one hair behind. If you order a Dyson vacuum cleaner by clicking this link, you’ll receive a free car cleaning kit with some of the models. Go on and explore the new and sleek design of the site and click the “about Dyson” link to learn about the technology that makes them unique.

When I buy my own house, the first thing I’m buying is a Dyson (even if that means I have to sleep on the floor). :)

I'm testing out the waters on different pay-for-blogging websites to be able to let you know which are the most successful. So bear with me while I do all my testing. It'll be worth the wait, I promise.

Sponsored Post- Cheap Broadband

Look at this site to learn about new cheap broadband packages for the UK. They have different speeds available and a package that will fit your needs. You can get up to 8MB speed wifi. That’s crazy fast. Right now I’m on 5 MB and I thought that was the fastest possible. The packages range from 8.95 pounds to 18.99 per month. Some of the packages come with a special hub with a telephone and a digital TV recorder. If you already have broadband, they help you with the switch over. If you have any problems with financing, even though this is all so cheap, they offer credit services and online costumer service. This site helps you choose the perfect package with its easy to read and understand website. Make sure to read the contracts to know if you’re price is fixed for the length of the contract or what the increases are. This is just for the UK area.

Sponsored Post- Savebuckets

Finally a website that is simple to use that helps you find the greatest deals on anything you need. Just type in what you need with this great price comparison website.

Who ever thought you could tell people how much you’ll pay them, and still get what you want.

Sponsored Post- Digital Photo Frames!!!

Finally the one stop shopping website for digital picture frame. Easy organized by size, this website makes it super easy to find exactly what you’re looking for, if you’re in the market for a digital frame. They range from 7 inches to 15 inches. They even supply digital frames with interchangeable face plates. Every digital frame come with a free 256 mega bytes SD memory card. These frames not only show pictures, but they also play videos and mp3s. If you get the 15 inch frame, and play movies, it could be used in place of a kitchen or office TV (though you’ll need at least a 1GB SD memory card.) If your digital camera uses an SD card, this makes the whole process absolutely as simple as possible. All you do is take the pictures and then remove your SD memory card from the camera and insert it into the frame. If your camera doesn’t have an SD card, that’s ok, you’ll just have more extra simple step. Enter “xmspxl07” as your promotional code at checkout to get 5% off your entire purchase.

Using Word 2007 to make blogging easier

I just started using Microsoft Word 2007 to post and manage my blog. So far, it's easier than using the dashboard directly on my blog host. You can use most of the features that Word provides right on your blog. This makes formatting and inserting pictures a little easier.

I'm on p. 359 out of 529 in Middlesex, by Jeffrey Eugenides. I was given this book over a year ago and had picked it up many times. But, I just couldn't get through the first chapter those first couple attempts. This time I succeeded and am thankful that I did so. This novel goes through generations of a family detailing immigration, assimilation, and childhood development. I have read some reviews to find parts of the book to be very disturbing. I think that the book is beautiful and you really get to know the characters through the author's development of them. The narrator of the book has issues with final steps in her development and due to this she learns the secrets within her family.

How important is the touch of a mother?

What do you think is more important for healthy development of an infant? The warm love of a mother or the satisfaction of physiological needs?

In the 1950s, Harry Harlow conducted experiments to see what would happen if baby monkeys had a choice of a warm mother or a mother that only gave them food, but no comfort. These "mothers" were made of wire. One had a bottle that dispensed milk, and the other had a warm blanket wraps around it with space for the monkey to cuddle in. When placed in a room with these two mothers, the monkey spent most of the time with the warm mother and would only quickly run over to the other for milk and then immediately return back to the blanketed one. These monkeys group up to be emotionally stable.

Harlow took this experiment to another level. He took different monkeys and put one in a room to live with the warm mother and one to live with the mother that only provided food.

"When he separated the infants into two groups and gave them no choice between the two types of mothers, all the monkeys drank equal amounts and grew physically at the same rate. But the similarities ended there. Monkeys who had soft, tactile contact with their terry cloth mothers behaved quite differently than monkeys whose mothers were made out of cold, hard wire. Harlow hypothesized that members of the first group benefited from a psychological resource—emotional attachment—unavailable to members of the second. By providing reassurance and security to infants, cuddling kept normal development on track (Harlow, 1959).

The ones that were secluded from the warm "mother" were never able to socialize, once they were adults, with other monkeys. They were very aggressive and weren't able to lead a normal life. This experiment helped to show that infants psychological needs are important to satisfy, rather than just the physiological needs. This experiment also showed the importance of mother/infant attachment and bonding.

Harlow, H.F. (1959) "Love in Infant Monkeys."

Finally a decision on the cellphone debate

I have finally caved into the purchase of a smartphone. I had the opportunity to buy one for only 29 dollars and jumped at the chance. A Nokia E62. I still have it charging and will give all my comments as soon as I learn how to use it.

Anyone still using internet explorer on a regular basis?

Please please please switch over to Mozilla Firefox. Mozilla has a pop up blocker in it and is much more use friendly. You will get less spyware and viruses on your computer and it's completely free. You just download and install it (I have a link for it on the right side of the blog; it says Firefox) and it will import all the bookmarks you have set in your explorer. I can't stress enough of how important the switch over is. I can't even count the number of times that I've had to reformat computers that solely use IE.

Pay per Post

So after investigating the blog scene, I have learned that bloggers can make money for their posts. PayPerPost.com allows approved bloggers to pick through topics to write about and get paid. I just opened the account two days ago and got approved this morning. I can't wait to blog and roll in some dough :) So far I have seen opportunities for up to 175 dollars, but I'm sure there are more. I'm still new to the blogging world, but I am learning fast. The site has so far proven to be user friendly. You also have the opportunity to meet other bloggers, which I have yet to explore. Keep blogging and reading! :)

Obedience Experiment and Its Application

Social psychologists experiment and research human behavior. In 1961, after the trial of Adolph Eichmann, a high ranking Nazi Colonel, a question arose of whether Eichmann and his accomplices were just following orders. In other words, how far would someone go just because they were told to do so. Some may think that the stakes at hand may play a part in this decision, but social psychologist, Stanly Milgram, devised an experiment that showed that perhaps the consequences of not following the order were not very strong in their effects on how far a person would go.

The participants for the study were recruited through advertisements and the experiment was conducted in two basement rooms at Yale. The advertisement said that the participants would be paid whether or not they completed the study. The were told that the experiment was on the effects of punishment on learning.

In the basement, there was an "experimenter," a man in a lab coat, who showed no emotion, another "participant," who not really a participant, but rather a confederate, who was later made to be a "learner." This left the actual participant. The real participant was named a "teacher." (Follow with me. It'll come together any minute now...)

The "teacher" was asked by the experimenter to read off word pairs to the "learner." After reading the list, the "teacher" was instructed to read the first word to see if the "learner" could respond with the second word from that pair. I forgot to add the most important part of this experiment. The "learner" was attached to an electro-shock generator, which the "teacher" was under the impression was fully working (which it wasn't, because you can't actually administer the shock, right? keep reading :) )
If the "learner" made an incorrect response, the "teacher" was told to administer shock. They were also told to increase the voltage with every incorrect answer.

"After a number of voltage level increases, the (learner) started to bang on the wall that separated him from the (participant). After several times banging on the wall and complaining about his heart condition, all responses by the learner cease(d). (Milgram, 1963)"

The "teacher" became uncomfortable, but after the experimenter instructed him to continue, he continued. If the "teacher" would not continue after being instructed to do so, then the experiment was over. Otherwise, the experiment continued up to a "450 volt shock."

"In Milgram's first set of experiments, 65% (26 out of 40)of experimental participants administered the experiment's final 450-volt shock, though many were quite uncomfortable in doing so; everyone paused at some point and questioned the experiment, some even saying they would return the check for the money they were paid. No participant steadfastly refused to give further shocks before the 300-volt level. (Milgram, 1963)"

Get money back on your normal online shopping..

I guess they are able to do this as advertisement, but Ebates gives you a percentage back on your online shopping just for you going to their site and clicking on the store you want to shop with from their list. They have a really comprehensive list on their site and I've done most of my shopping through them. Once they didn't have the store I wanted, but I suggested the store to them, and it was up there within a couple weeks. They also have coupon codes that you can use at the stores. CNN says and I agree, "It's a no brainer." In the past couple months I've made $48.64 back from my shopping. They give 1% -10% back on your shopping and then mail you a check every three months. This has proven to be reliable and I've already received a check in the mail.

Mass Health Insurance Mandate

So, we here in Massachusetts will now be required to have health insurance. If we can't afford it, we'll be given it. Over all, I think this is a good idea and it will save Massachusetts a lot of money. In March of 2006, there were 500,000 residents of Massachusetts that were uninsured. No these people are not made of steel.. of course they get sick like we all do sometimes, but when they get sick, they choose to go to emergency rooms rather than to a primary care doctor. The hospitals are left with unpaid bills and find it harder to cover their expenses for these visits. This lessens the value of care care that an insured resident may receive when they go to the hospital. Anyways, enough about the past. In with the new:

July 2007, individuals who are deemed to be able to afford it, will be required to have health insurance. If they don't they risk losing their deductions around tax time for the year of 2007. If you still don't have insurance by 2008, then you may be charged half of the lowest premium available, but without receiving the insurance.

To be considered in need of government assistance:
Mass Health/Subsidized Care : Income must be at $60,000 or less for a family of four., with no premiums being paid if the income is $20,000 or less for a family of four.

Small Businesses are also now required to provide insurance to their employee if they have 11+ employees.

So, why is this so great?
Well, because everyone is now required to have and/or provide insurance, they can't charge those ridiculous prices anymore. Individual premiums have been cut by 25%, there will be new programs for adults ages 19-26 that provide cheaper coverage. What else is that all this money will be put into community programs.

What do you think about it all?

Cell phone prices

Ok. So I think I've learned that I should just type whatever is on my mind and go on and on. So here is my rant about cell phone prices:

How much does it really cost to make a cell phone (Cingular 8525 PDA Phone (at&t/Cingular)), even a really snazzy one. I would guess that at most it would be around 10 dollars a piece. They are made in bulk and all the parts are ordered in bulk, so 10 dollars may even be too high of a cost. But, let's assume for now that this is a reasonable cost. Why the heck are they telling me that the cell phone I want is going to cost me over 500 dollars. Come on, it's a small pile of metal and plastic. So...I can spend over 500 dollars for the phone or I can wait till January and renew my contract and pay 100 or less for the same phone. Seems too crazy not to wait 'til January, but I really want the phone now. Check out my wishlist to see the phone. Maybe someone can convince me that it's a bad phone so that I won't be in so much agony about it....

Sorry... Just trying out different things. I promise this will get interesting soon...
