My PayPerPost.com Update

October 26, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

Alright, it’s been a little over 2 weeks since I joined PayPerPost.com after being turned onto it by Allison.  Thank you once again Allison!!  This has been THE quickest money maker I’ve ever seen outside of actually leaving my house and getting a job.  From PayPerPost.com  alone, I have made $268.64 since my first post only two weeks ago. 

Seriously. 

Most days I try to post my max of 3 posts and it can be cumbersome to weed through on my site if you don’t like reading paid posts but really, I’ve enjoyed trying to insert a little story or fact about myself in each and every post.  I was a little naive when I first started that I would only blog about products that I would "normally" post about.  And I know I haven’t.  But. I do feel like in 98% of the posts I’ve done, I’ve been able to find something about me to talk about.  Sometimes I’ve even blogged about things I wouldn’t normally think to blog about and no one would ever know about me had it not been for the paid posts.  So to me, that’s a plus.  And people, I’ve made $258.64 in two weeks!! 

If you join and get paid to blog, a few things I’ve learned from PayPerPost.com are:

  • It can take awhile for your blog to be added.  I think it took me at least 3 weeks.
  • Be careful about the links.  Do it JUST LIKE they request and don’t try to be adventurous and post extra links unless it specifically asks for that.
  • Don’t do paid posts right after one another.
  • Be diligent about checking the site for open posts.  Don’t settle for low paying posts early in the day, keep checking for the higher ones and then if nothing comes up, do a few lower paying ones at night up to the max.
  • Be sure your Page Rank and Alexa ratings are correct on their site.  Email them if it’s not.  It greatly affects your open opps.
  • It has taken awhile for my posts to be approved.  Since I’ve only been on for two weeks, I still haven’t seen the process through but from what I hear, it will be around 30 days before I see the payment.

I really can’t recommend them enough.  Happy blogging!

Friday’s Feast #166

October 26, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

Here’s today’s Friday’s Feast

Appetizer
Name a great website you would recommend to others.

Anyone want to guess what I have to say?  moneysavingmom.com!

Soup
On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 as highest), how often do you dream at night?

9.  I dream vividly almost every night.

Salad
Did you have a pet as a child?  If so, what kind and what was its name?

Yes, but I know I don’t recall them all.  We had a cat named Cinderella we called Cindy.  A german shepherd named Bruno.  A golden retriever named Tiffany.  A bird I don’t think we ever named as we gave it away because it was too annoying.

Main Course
If you had the chance to star in a commercial, what would you choose to advertise?

Oh boy, not sure on this one.  In one way, if I was in a commercial, I’d like to be the hot girl, you know in a beer commercial or something. But really, I don’t endorse beer, so I’m thinking that’s no good.

I think the Apple commercials are hilarious and I wouldn’t mind being associated with a commercial that’s funny and respected like that.  But I’ve never owned anything by Apple except for my iPod so that goes out the window.

But it seems I’m leaning towards answering the wrong question.  I guess if I’m going to personally advertise anything, I would want it to be something positive.  Maybe for a church, or Billy Graham type event or Operation Christmas Child.  Something like that.

Dessert
What is your favorite kind of hard candy? 

I don’t like hard candy much at all but I do like the Butterscotch thingies shaped like mints.

TGIF

October 26, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

Really, I’m so glad it’s Friday and we have a busy weekend ahead of us.  Scott gets home from training early this afternoon.  My aunt, uncle, two cousins and grandmother are coming into town tonight.  We have our meeting with the youth council tonight (please pray, I’m so nervous about it).  Tomorrow we are spending all day with my family.  I think we’re going to some festival in the morning assuming it’s not pouring down rain and we also have our church’s Fall Festival tomorrow night.  I suspect we’ll be shopping and eating out and actually I can’t wait.

Grey’s Anatomy October 25, 2007

October 25, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

In the words of Alex, "Happy Freakin’ Halloween".  Wasn’t that great?  Wow, I thought last week was good but this week was REALLY, REALLY good.  I think the less interns we see, the better.  Unless it’s George of course.  So yeah, let’s start with George.

Maybe it’s not George I want to start with as much as Callie about George.  Callie’s announcement to the entire room that George and Izzie had slept together was FANTASTIC.  Leave your mouth wide open kind of fantastic.  I can’t believe she did that but it made for some fanstastic tv.  In fact this week had some great scenes and lines…so here we go.

Christina’s comment about Meredith’s "mommy bag" right after Callie’s big announcement had me laughing.

Meredith and Derek meet in the hallway with her mother’s ashes and talk about whether to put them in the cubby or car.  The little boy interrupts and Meredith says, "Can you take care of him?" And I love when Derek says, "Can you take care of…her."

Alex and Ava!!  Honestly I really want Alex and Izzie together but this really was a great reunion for Alex.  Nice to see Alex on the prowl again.

The man with the chainsaw and the foot.  He was crazy.  Period.  However, did anyone see loose ends tied up with that?  Last I saw the guy was in surgery.

Dr. Hahn’s comment about Christina…I was saying "What?!" with Christina but it was still great to see her put in her place.

I really liked Lexie’s dead cat story and liked Lexie and Meredith getting along.  They have good chemistry with one another.

So my friend and I were watching this show and we were just saying how NO marriage can survive on this show.  The only exception we could think of was Bailey’s.  And then hers seems to be going downhill all the sudden.  Nice to see some personal stuff with Bailey.  Last I remember she was wiping breast milk off her scrubs.

Christina telling off Hahn right before she finds out she’s the new head of Cardio-Thurasic (sp?) Surgery was just..nice.  Love how she takes it out on the chief.

So the kid with the new ears is telling Meredith he flushed his goldfish down the toilet so they could "go back to the sea".  Please don’t tell me Mer is going to flush her mother down the toilet.  But no, in all of Grey’s beauty, Meredith pours her down the sink at the scrub station and it was just beautiful.  Perfectly beautiful.

I started with George and I may as well end with him.  Izzie and his declaration "We made it through this day." was almost poetic.  And honestly, it didn’t produce any aw-ing from me because I’m still not into the Gizzie of it all but it was a nice moment.

So next week’s previews seem a little crazy, a little confused I think.  The only thing I clearly remember was Izzie claiming that Gizzie would be be having hot s-e-x.  Nice, can’t wait to blog about that.

  • I’m thankful for being encouraged through my pastor to persevere in a tough situation.
  • I’m thankful to God for answering my prayers–again…seems like He keeps doing that 😉
  • I’m thankful for a wonderful family who notice when something’s wrong and ask about it.
  • I’m thankful for a husband that is so willing to protect me, not just physically, but emotionally.
  • I’m thankful my job that is so flexible that allows me to go to Fall Festivals on Thursday mornings.
  • I’m thankful for all the free stuff I got this week.
  • I’m thankful for how much money menu planning has saved us.  Especially this week when our account is just about at zero.
  • I’m thankful for a Christian preschool and how much the teachers care about my children.
  • Even though it sounds corny, I AM thankful for the extra money earned through my paid posts this week.

The Hills Music October 22, 2007

October 24, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

I get hits every week on my site for people looking for the music played during The Hills episode.  A little google search turned up this list from the episode…

A Fine Frenzy-Near To You
Mark Ronson-God Put A Smile On Your Face
Tegan and Sara- Back In Your Head
Nick Howard-The Pressure
Gran Ronde-Retrace
The Aggrolites-Free Time
Jill Cunniff-Lazy Girls
Luna Halo-World On Fire
Eisley-Invasion
David Condos-I Should Be Lost Without You
The Bravery-Believe
I-94-This Time Around
Nouvelle Vague-I Melt With You

Since I think the music is pretty cool myself and wouldn’t mind a few more mp3s to add to my iPod, I’ll try to include this in any weekly episodes I write up. 

You’re welcome 🙂
