This is one time when I don’t feel too bad about recommending those quick, overnight cash loans. Yeah, they charge you a fortune in interest – but sometimes it’s worth it. You gotta have some fun.
I’ve got a couple of quick cash loan companies I’d like to share with you. One is quicker, one is a bit more family oriented. It’s up to you which you prefer.
Or you might prefer Family First Cash. They can loan you up to $1000 and are safe and confidential. They can have the cash to you overnight. Check them out by clicking here
So as you may have guessed these two offers are from my new deals shop set up courtesy of Affiliate System.us aka Anthony Morrison. I am still a bit on the fence about the whole thing. I got far enough through the training videos to realize that his idea of minimal start up and my idea of minimal start up are two different things. He is coming from the land of “oh and Google will just grab up $50 out of your bank account any old time they run that much up in clicks” and I come from the land of “not only is there not $50 laying around in my bank account any old time, but if Google starts grabbing at it they can quickly run me into the HUNDREDS of dollars in overdraft fees and leave me unable to eat or buy gas”.
It isn’t his fault. The middle class in America – what there is left of them – who have $50K a year in income and a few thousand in savings think they are barely scraping along. They aren’t aware that over half of us are earning under $30K a year and it is all we can do to pay all our bills every month, put gas in the car, and maybe buy some Ramen soup. Actually, right now hubby and I earn less than half of that. If that is where you are at – this really is not the program for you. I MAY be able to make it work without a few thousand to start up, but only because I already have a lot of knowledge about promotions and I have several up and running websites I can promote on for free.
Otherwise, the only thing he offers is to go purchase advertising on Google, Yahoo, MSN and so on. I have actually had enough money to do that. Once. I spent a fast $100 on Google Adwords and got about $10 back in income. This doesn’t work so well for me. *shrug* Sure, there is a learning curve to find out what works and doesn’t in advertising – I just do not have the money to lose while I am learning.
Like I said – I’m not quitting or anything. I will give it at least a year. There are some really good offers on my website if I can just get some people to put their eyeballs on them. 
I may hang on longer if there is a glimmer of hope. I’ve been at Squidoo over two years and have just now actually begun earning over $1 a month. It’s fun so I kept at it (and besides, it was good promotion for my coloring pages and coloring books) and it is finally starting to pay off.
Speaking of the coloring pages that seems to have reached a plateau. I have well over 300 coloring pages available now, and twice the number of page visits I had last year and guess what – I’m making just about the same old amount of money, almost entirely from Google Adsense. I can’t be specific, of course, but lets just say I only get a payment every two or three months. I’m sure there has to be some way to increase that without becoming one of those websites that beats visitors half to death with pop-up ads, or requires a membership and your email so it can be sold to SPAMMERS, or all the rest of that shit. Of course, all the hosting B.S. over the last year really kicked my ass, too. Dropped from the top ten on the Search Engine Results Page to not even in the top 100. Thanks Dreamhost. Now if I were going to pay for search engine advertising – it would be for Color-Your-Own.com. Get it on the top of the first page for a month or so and see if that didn’t start making a difference. But I may need to find some more targeted advertisers, too.
Well, I’m just rambling. Have a good weekend. I’m battling the winter blues, but maybe I’ll get a little work done, a little writing, something. Oh yeah, I’ve been playing with my poor neglected Sandbox Farms account so if you play there drop by and see what I’ve got up for sale. Doing a major farm cleaning to try and get it so I can drop by a couple times a week and still keep up on things.
Oh yeah, about the ever so happy coffee drinker up there – it is in the public domain so snatch away – it is one of many Currier and Ives prints that I love. I did a lens about them not to long ago so just click here if you want to know more about this American art
