I do a lot of things to make money online and work from home. One of these is buying and selling items on my local Craigslist. I love to search through ads everyday (or when I need some extra money) and buy “good deals” – there are a lot of them out there. Did you know I bought a car last year for $100 (yes, it ran) and resold it for $1,200 two days later. That was a profit of $1,100 in 48 hours with little effort and work involved. Here’s another… (more…)
Everyday, I get asked if a blog can really make someone enough money to work from home and earn a full or part time living online. The answer is yes, however it may not come as easy as one might think. There is a lot that goes into blogging, such as motivation, good blog content and a willingness to post new information and content a few times a week. With a blog you are mainly aiming to please. Your blog readers become your income. If you want them to come visit your blog, click on your ads, take your advice and come back fore more…than you had better feed them well. (more…)
Bicpromopens.com is a leading independent retailer of promotional pens on the internet. Their pens are all Bic brand and come in many assorted styles and colors. When I first took a visit on their website, ordering pens for Moms Cash Blog (to promote my blog of course) – I was amazed to see just how many color options, styles and designs there really were. The next thing that caught my eye, were their amazing prices and low minimum order amounts. Most promo pen sites and businesses I had looked into prior to visiting their site, had higher minimum orders starting at 1,000 pieces and up. I didn’t need this many pens, so their low minimum order of 500 pens was perfect for me! (more…)
WordPress 2.5 is finally here, with many new features and tools to make blogging a breeze. I think that WordPress has answered prayers of those who aren’t good with code or tricky interfaces. The new upgraded version allows even a blog beginner the ability to understand, how to post, where to view comments and much more. I upgraded Moms Cash Blog and I am very pleased. The admin theme is much cooler, almost giving a web 2.0 feel. If you are scared to upgrade your current WordPress blog, please don’t be. Take my advice, it was a piece of cake I am very glad I did. It is a must for any blogger.

So…I went from having a live show to video blogging recently. I am very happy with my decision. However, I must say that as a video blogger you really have to bring out the inner actress or actor in you. The camera light goes on, and you’re up! It can be scary, frustrating, fun and weird all at the same time. LOL, I actually find myself talking to the camera and breaking out in song or laughter sometimes. Why you ask? Well I am not quite sure, the camera has a little magic in it I suppose. So I was going to create a cool video blog post expressing a certain subject for today’s post and well…(crickets chirping) after about 45 long minutes and 20+ outtakes, I decided to call it a day. It was just one of those days when I couldn’t get it right. You bloggers know what I mean, right?! I am talking about those long blog posts you write out and then when it comes time to post, you’re like “nah, that’s not good enough.” It was one of those days. So with all of the hype on video blogging or vlogs I guess the cool kids call them these days – I thought this ridiculous video of me trying to attempt a video blog post and getting caught up in the moment with about 20 or so outtakes would be a good laugh. I almost trick myself into thinking I am some sort of amazing actress, HeHe we all know that I am not! ENJOY – and happy weekend.
Hey while you are here, Digg some of my videos if you found them worthy please.
After all, just look how much time and effort goes into just one of them – Thanks guys!
Are you an Ebay seller, or are you thinking of becoming one soon? I have some good advice that just may help you out for many reasons. It is a great alternative to Ebay, someone who will sell your items on Ebay for you – yes you read that right. These guys will actually sell your stuff and you don’t have to leave your house. Isn’t our world getting so easy. We can rent movies through the mail, we can order our groceries through online delivery services and now we can sell on Ebay without having an Ebay account, really?! Sound too good to be true, well it isn’t… (more…)

Ebay and Craigslist are some of the top places that people turn to when they want to sell clutter. What am I referring to when I use that word? I am referring to items that are in the backs of drawers, stuffed in shelves or out in the garage. These items are things that you eventually plan on selling someday and that is why you’re holding onto them rather than donating or throwing them away. Your frugal mind doesn’t want you to lose a penny. This “clutter” of yours probably isn’t old, dirty or unusable is it? (more…)
