A Spoonful of Vinegar = Weight Loss

The Frugal Birthday Party

I received a message today that someone clicked on a link I had posted for a job opportunity and found the company was no longer hiring. This person was justifiably disappointed, but also seemed a little peeved.

I do my best to make sure all the job opportunities I post are legitimate and that the companies are in the process of hiring. Occasionally, though, a company will place a link on their employment page, indicating they are hiring again, only to be flooded with applicants and promptly pull the link or put up a notice that they are "no longer hiring at this time."

This can happen within the course of a 12-hour day. In the morning, they may be hiring. By afternoon, they've shut it down due to huge response. This happens when word gets out on a work at home message board or other site. All I can do is post them when I see them and hope you guys get there before the jobs are filled.

Sometimes a person will find a post of mine through search. If it's an older post, the page that's linked to may be gone, or the company was hiring at the time of the post, but is no longer.

At any rate, I've had more positive than negative feedback. So I'll just keep trucking along, posting job opps as soon as I hear about them. I love to hear that someone has found a work at home job by visiting my site. ;)

Pearson, the "most comprehensive provider of educational assessment products, services, and solutions in the nation," hires professional scorers to work from a home office. Compensation is performance based, but scorers can make $12 an hour or more.

Setting Up Your Home Office

At one point in my life, in my early twenties, I might have been considered a borderline shopaholic. By that, I mean I bought things on impulse, particularly stuff for my kids. (I'm in denial here; I was full blown). But time and circumstance have a way of changing people. I would say I'm probably on the extreme other end of the spectrum today.

Where do you fall? MSNBC's Are You a Shopaholic? has a six-question test that should give you a pretty good idea. I scored a 7. Take it and let me know how you rank.

The Mysterious Case of the Shrinking Cereal Box

About a week ago, my teenage daughter and I were in the grocery store, when she picked up a box of cereal and as she was putting it in the cart said to me, "This box looks different." "Different?" I said. "What do you mean?"

And then I had a closer look. And she was right; it was different. It had the same picture on the front, the same name, and at first glance, the same packaging. But what formerly had been a 10-ounce box or cereal was now an 8.9-ounce box. And although it was just as tall as before and appeared, on the shelf, to be the same, the width of it had clearly shrunk.

One thing that was still the same? The high price. So we were getting less cereal per dollar than we were a month ago. Having a look around my local grocery store this week, I've found numerous instances of the same type of downsizing taking place.

So pay attention. That box of cereal on your grocer's shelf may look the same. But have a closer look. MSNBC.com has an interesting article on this incredible shrinking packaging wave that's taking place. It's "Shrink Ray" Hits Consumers' Wallets by David Ushery and Alex Johnson. Read more about it and let me know what you think.

Work at Home Moms: Where's the Appreciation?

If only the Ego Repair Hotline actually existed. With three teens and no other adult in the house, I sometimes feel like the "Invisible Working Woman." Where's the love? Who's going to tell me I've done a great job or congratulate me when I've met a goal? Nobody.

Unfortunately, the lack of positive feedback is just a simple fact of working from home. I have been fortunate enough to work for a company that will send out a note to let me know when a client has been really happy with the work I've done. But on a day-to-day basis, there's no one here to pat me on the back and encourage me to keep going.

I feel lucky to be able to work from home, and I guess the lack of positive stroking is a small price to pay for this convenience. At the same time, if anyone knows the number to the Ego Repair Hotline, please share.

There are a bazillion ways to make money on the Internet. But one of the easiest is creating Squidoo Lenses and profiting from the revenue generated from them. First of all, Squidoo is super easy; you can build a basic lens in about 15 minutes. And they rank high in Google's search engine results, so they're traffic magnets.

If you choose your keywords carefully, you can rank high in Google for those keywords pretty quickly. Long tail keywords, those which are more specific within a chosen niche, will generally do better. That's because there will be less competition for your terms.

Not only will you benefit from the shared revenue model of Squidoo, you can also sell affiliate products, your own Cafe Press designs, or direct traffic to your main Web site. It's all in the numbers with Squidoo. The more quality lenses you build, the more search engine traffic you will generate, and the more money you will make.

Finally, you can make money through Squidoo's own affiliate program. When someone signs up through your link and makes their first $15, you make $5. Squidoo pays through PayPal, and you can set your minimum payout as low or high as you like.

A great Squidoo resource is Seth Godin's Flipping the Funnel, available for download free from his blog. It will inspire and educate you on the concept of viral marketing using Squidoo Lenses and other Web 2.0 tools. Have a look and get Squidoo'ing!

Kids: How Much Exercise is Enough?

My kids have always been fairly active. One of my girls, a competitive swimmer, swims 12 to 15 hours per week, and sometimes I worry that she's exercising too much. Her coach assures us that she could and should be working out more, in order to be truly competitive. Frankly, I think it's more important that she's having fun.

But how much is too much? How much is enough? The New York Times recently published an article entitled How Much Exercise Do Children Need? by Gina Kolata. I was surprised by how much we still don't know about what affects childhood activity has into adulthood. Have a look.

Do You Squeeze Every Last Drop Out of Your Stuff?

This might seem like a strange question. But in a tough economy, it's an important one. Do you buy a new car every year or two? Or do you buy a car and drive it 'til it gives out?

I bought a 20-year-old Volvo a little over two years ago, and I just finished making payments on it in August. And God willing, I will probably drive that little car 'til it just won't go another mile. Why? Because it gets me where I want to go, and I don't owe a dime on it. I love the feeling of not having a car payment. It's great!

I feel the same way about clothes. I buy most of my clothes at the local Goodwill. Yes, someone has worn them before. But they've still got a lot of wear in them, and I intend to wear them out! My kids love the hoodies I bring home for $3. I've also had really good luck with T-shirts for them.

I find lots of great stuff for the house there - dishes, decorations, lamps, toasters, coffee makers, printers. And you can't beat the price on books - 50 cents for softcovers, $1 for hardcovers.

My point? These are all things that someone else didn't want or need anymore. But they still have lots of life in them. And in these tough times, being able to squeeze every drop out of what you have is important.

10 Things That Help Make A Successful Website

Today the Internet is highly competitive, it is not longer good enough to just create a website and watch the money roll in. Modern websites have to go that extra mile if they want to see a good return on their investment.

I will discuss the 10 things that you need to get right to be successful in the world of ecommerce. You could fill several volumes of books describing everything; however, I am going to discuss the more important ones.

1. First things first, you must do your research and make sure what you are planning to sell is actually in demand. If your product is already being sold online try and offer a new spin on products that you know that already sell well.

2. Content is king, you website must have good original content that people will want to read.

3. Your web copywriting must be of a high standard. You must grab the reader’s attention then give them the desire to buy your product. You then must give them a call to action and then you must offer customer satisfaction.

4. Accessibility, you have to make your website as accessible as it can be. The internet should be accessible to everyone regardless of their handicap.

5. Test your website; too many online companies never test their websites to see what works and what doesn’t. I strongly believe that you can’t improve a website if you can’t track it. A good tip here would be to use Google’s website optimiser. This free service lets you test different elements of your website.

6. Keep in contact with your customers, send out a newsletter at least once a month to keep in contact and inform your customers of any special offers.

7. Use Google analytics to track your visitor’s behaviours. This is an excellent tool for tracking what people do on your website and what they don’t. This is invaluable information and it’s free.

8. If your budget permits start a pay per click campaign to sell you products while you’re waiting on your SEO taking effect. More on SEO on a moment.

9. Get some SEO servicesfrom a company that knows what they are doing, this will save time and money in the long term.

10. Hire a website design company to design your website professionally.

That's right. I'm going a little risque today. With a name like this, how can you go wrong? The reason I'm not using the actual three-letter word? Well, it seems that word is considered a "stop word" by Google. And when I used a stop word once before, I got several days of weird ads and PSA's.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup melted margarine
1 cup chopped pecans
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1 cup confectioners' sugar
4 cups Cool Whip, thawed
1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
3 cups milk
1 (1 ounce) square unsweetened chocolate, melted

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, mix together margarine, pecans and graham cracker crumbs, then pat into a 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese and confectioners sugar until smooth, then fold in 1 cup of whipped topping. Spoon this mixture onto the crust.
Prepare chocolate and vanilla puddings. Allow pudding to set before pouring on top of the cream cheese layer. Spread remaining whipped topping (3 cups) over the pudding layer, then swirl melted chocolate throughout the whipped topping.
Cover and refrigerate for about an hour. Keep uneaten portion frozen. Slice off pieces and allow to thaw before eating. Enjoy!

*************************************

I've found a great way to make a little extra cash (translation: gas money) is signing up for and completing online surveys. Usually it's $5 to $10 here and there. But occasionally, you hit the jackpot with a high-paying survey.

Some sites pay in merchandise and gift certificates, and some offer entries into cash jackpots. If you're going to really delve into surveys, you should set up a separate email address just for your survey opportunities. Grab a free email account online and reserve it just for survey correspondence.

Here are some companies that I've been told pay reliably:

Pinecone
Survey Savvy
Harris Poll Online
Your2Cents
American Consumer Opinion
Global Test Market
Yahoo User Research
Viewpoint Forum
SurfBounty
InBoxDollars
ESearch.com
MySurvey.com
CashCrate

Remember: never, never, never pay to take surveys. They're supposed to pay you. If it's not free to join and participate, move on.
