Getting more for less

***ADVERTISEMENT***



It seems that every time you turn around, there are more and more blogs on how to make money or save money via the Internet. Quite frankly, there are so many, it is hard to keep track of them all. While I'm not trying to tell anyone how to make money. I'm not giving out some sort of 'secret' that only I know.

What I am doing here, is trying to keep track of my attempts at making a little more money. I don't have any grand ideas that this is going to someday replace the ol' 8-5.

All that being said, the guy over at Hustlermoneyblog has some rather nifty (if not possibly a little...er...shall we say shady?) ideas for getting more for less.

For instance, it seems that the nice and kind folks over at American Express are giving away 25,000 reward points via a Credit card bonus for new customers who get open a new American Express Business Gold card account. But this is a limited time offer, so you must apply right away (isn't that always the case with these things?).

More opps from PPP

I don't know if you have noticed the graphic to the left that reads "Hire Me". This is a relatively new PayPerPost program titled "PayPerPost Direct". The way it works is, you have the badge on your site, an advertisers sees your site, likes your content (not to mention your exceptional wit and prose) and hires you for a direct placement advertisement.

You can always decline the offer, or negotiate for more money for the ad. I don't know if declining the offer will actually inhibit your ability to get more PPP Direct business, but I would assume it would not since these do not come from PPP, they only facilitate the meeting.

At any rate, if you are a postie, check it out.

Thanks for visiting!

Credit Good - Debt Bad

***ADVERTISEMENT***




We all want things we don't have. Am I right or what? And sometimes, we need things we don't have, and don't really have the funds to acquire. Seriously. Many people just simply do not have savings. And if they do, it is too little. Lets say you suddenly need a new catalytic converter. WHAM! something like $1300 right there. This is where credit cards can, and do, come in handy.

Now, sure, debt is bad. Debt is the one commandment that was left off the ten. I'm sure if there were and eleventh commandment, it would have been "Thou shalt not carry consumer debt." But there isn't. Or maybe there is, and it is a conspiracy by the banks and creditors, and they went and removed that from all the copies of the Bible so as to make us all *think* it is ok.

At any rate, while debt is bad, and should be avoided at every turn possible. Credit is not bad. Credit is good. Credit allows one to do things like rent cars, reserve hotel rooms. Buy things online. Buy things with the ultra-cool dealio that many credit card companies have that protects your stuff for so many days after purchases.

Goldstarcredit.net is pretty much a one-stop shopping for information on credit reports and credit cards. If you need a new card, head over there. They have 0% (limited time only) cards.

As usual, thanks for stopping by!
