so we've all seen what goes down on the intenet, get-rich-quick scams are everywhere nowadays. And yes, they are rather annyoing. pop-ups, junk emails, even google ads! why are they here, and do any of them actually work?

well, most get-rich-quick ideas have something to do with advertisement. such as AdSense, which many bloggers are familiar with. However, there are three sites that i have actually deemed worthy.

Firstly, is Inbox Dollars. this was shown on (if i do remember correctly) Good Morning America AND the Tyra Show. since i absolutely looooveTyra, i decided it was worth a few seconds of my time to check it out. i asked around and did some research, and boy, is this one easy! well worth the signup. (which is free. yay!) infact, when you sign up, they give you a five dollar bonus. isn't that neat! the way this company works, is they send you two - five emails a day, and all you have to do is click them. no, Really! just click! you get paid for every emeil you can confirm reading. and comfirmation only takes one click of the mouse! Also, you can get paid to play online games, and take surveys. the minimum "cashout" (the amount of money you need in your balance in order to request a check in your name) is $30. seems like a lot, but it actually flies by. if you check you email inbox about once a week, and take a couple surveys each month, you're already on your way to extra money in your pocket!
Click here to sign up, and get your first $5 instantly!


Another Great way i have come across is Mindfeild Online. This is a survey-only website, that pays anywhere from $1 to $7 for each survey. This website also send you emails everytime you are eligible to take a new survey. the biggest perk about this website is that you only need a minimum of $5 to request a check in your name! i've already gotten three of my own, and i've only been a member for a month! Also free to signup, and you get a $1 dollar bonus when you sign up for free!
check it out here!

Of course, these companies won't pay your bills or buy you a big fancy home, but they definitely help feed all the hungry empty wallets out there right now. It's a fact, more people than ever are in debt now, and almost everyone would like to have a little extra spending money. Well, Now you can get just that! someof my favourite ways to spend my "Internet monies" are by donating to organizations like World Wildlife and Samaritan's Purse, and i admit, i like to treat myself to a fancy dinner or a spa treatment once in a while.

Planning on a trip to another country soon? well, next time you do, check out the coins there. PetSalad (or Rob, if you'd like to go the more formal route) can make some beautiful pendants out of your rare and spare change. one of my favourites is the hummingbird, carved from a jamaican 25 cent coin.

gorgeous, no?

Etsy needed an update

I've been doing a lot of work trying to get my etsy going smoothly, and i found an awesome forum (here) on one of my favourite sites, Craftster.org , that has TONS of advice for setting up for a successful etsy. One peice of advice that i decided to work on today is the photos. make them consistent, clean background, good focus, and most importantly, the lighting. I reshot all of my Items for sale today, and I'm uploading them all as a type. I think i did well, but i think i'll leave the public eye to decide on that.

Here's a sneak peek at what i did with my morning.

Oh My...

I've decided to jump on in, now.

so, me? 18, unemployed, i guess you could call me a starving artist, but I actually get fed pretty well by my fiance's family. my fiance, by the way, goes by the name of mario. We've been two peas in a pod since junior high, just recently have we committed ourselves to eachother. no marriage soon, though. we'd like to wait until we are a bit more financially stable.

so... What am i doing here? Chillin' at the Public library (You can find me here almost every weekday from 10 Am until about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. i enjoy my time here a lot. I'm not in school right now, but there's no doubt in fact that i'm learning. I DO spend most my time at the library after all, and i do love reading. Here, I'm doing a lot of research on crafting, beginning a business, spiritual health, and crazy other things of the such. Just trying to better myself.

I've got my own Etsy, where i show case my handcrafted jewelry, and sometimes other things. I'm really working hard on getting this going. it's slow, but i think i'm getting there. if you feel like being a sweetheart, you could check it out and tell me what you think. never be afraid to critique if need be. Actually, i would greatly appreciate it.

anyways, i guess that's it for today. we'll see what tomorrow might bring.
