Search and Earn

Published by Tom under making money

I know as a webmaster, I am always looking for ways to earn extra money. There are tons of offers out there that are nothing but scams and waste your time and sometimes money. I have a few sites that I use regularly and earn free gifts certificates.

One of the best ones I have found and it is real and free to join is Swag Bucks. My wife and i use them for all our searches and we earn swag bucks that can be redeemed for prizes or Online gift certificates. If you use it like you use any other search engine, you have a chance to receive bucks for those searches. We always turn ours in for Amazon GCs and we use them to buy cool stuff. We have earned a couple hundred so far this year by only doing what we do anyway.

It is totally free to join and if you refer friends, you earn up 100 swag bucks for their searches. Think about joining Swag Bucks and you can earn too.

Social Conversation Site

Published by Tom under Blogging, Web Reviews

The following post is a sponsored review.

Blogging is tons of fun and it can be a great pastime. People create blogs for various reasons. Some create blogs as a business venture and to create an income. This is great and can create a nice part-time income. However, some people just want a blog to have fun and update friends and family or to socialize. That is where free blog sites come in the picture.

We all know about the most common ones like Blogger and Wordpress which offer free blogs to users. However, many casual blogger do not realize that there are more options out there. Thoughts.com is one of those options. This site is pretty cool and offers many cool features to add fun and excitement to your blogging experience.

The first time I heard about this site, I thought it was just another free blog site. However, once I ventured into their community, I was surprised at the warm community feeling that it gives off. They allow video uploading, picture uploading, and unlimited bandwidth. This is great to have a free blog that allows these features without having to find a separate host for the pictures and videos. They even host your podcasts and have easy to integrate features to share all of them on your blog.

If you are a novice or a longtime blogger, there is something in this community to attract and keep you coming back. The add a-friend features almost gives it a Facebook like feel.

I suggest you visit thoughts.com and check out what they have to offer and be sure to take a tour to see some of the fine features. Get blogging within minutes and you will be hooked for life!

New Beginnings

Published by Tom under General Blog Info, Webmaster Advice

Many bloggers and webmasters struggle to maintain their sites when they get busy with their careers and family life. I have maintained well up until this past six months. I have been busy with work and trying to gain a healthy body. Because of this, my sites and blogs have not been updated or maintained to the standards they should have been. The good news is, as all webmasters know, there are always new beginnings and it the new beginning for me.

First on the list is thanking all my loyal readers who have made this blog quite successful. Without readers, there would be no blog. That is key to any successful blog. Any blogger who is not writing for their readers is not a true blogger and wasting space on the Internet. First and foremost, the focus should be to inspire, entertain, and attract a loyal reader base.

If you have a blog or a few blogs and just lost interest or got too busy, it is not too late. This post is all about new beginnings. It is time to dust off the keyboard, sharpen the wit, and inspire the world with your talent and charm. It does not matter what kind of blog or website you have, there is always something to can update or change. Sometimes taking a bot of time off will get the creative juices flowing again and you will reach new heights in the webmaster world. Stay tune for more posts on this blog and I hope my new beginning inspires you to revisit the blog or site you have left unattended.
