My Work At Home Mom Group On LilaGuide
ave you guys heard of LilaGuide? It is an online parenting community. You can read all sorts of reviews on different places local to you. You can also submit your own reviews. They have groups and forums, it is a pretty cool website.

Since I am a work at home mom, they emailed me asking me to setup a work at home group on their site. So I just recently did that.

What also is cool is when you submit 10 reviews, you receive a $5 gift card to Target. The reviews are not big long reviews either, just a few sentences on your opinion. I thought this would be great for moms to start earning some extra giftcards for Christmas gifts.

If you are interested in joining my work at home group, here is my link:

Like The Chicago Cubs?

If you are in the Chicago area, you can be soon in for a treat if you like baseball. If you are a Chicago Cubs fan, you will want to watch the game from a different view then you are probably used to. If watching a game was on your list to do, try to see it from a rooftop. The Sheffield Baseball Club has over 9,000 square feet of viewing area on three different levels. The rooftop overlooks Wrigley Field and includes an elevator to take you there. You won't want to go alone either! If you have a party or event to cater, try having it at Sheffield Baseball Club. They have some food to try that sounds delicious. They have steak, a Tex-Mex fajita bar, BBQ'd food, Italian food, etc. You won't want to miss out on the appetizers either. How about some scallops wrapped in bacon? Sounds pretty yummy to me.

I have always been a fan of baseball. I played softball for a few years when I was younger. Once I got my first car though, playing sports kinda went on the back burner. I don't mind watching a game though. Watching one live is even better. I live in California and have been to the Oakland A's games and San Francisco Giants. I didn't have a rooftop view though! Don't get me wrong, we had good seats, but they didn't have all that tasty food available to us. If you are in the area, get yourself some Cubs rooftop seats.

Need A Business Credit Card?

Most people will tell you that credit cards are bad. I actually cut mine all up to start paying off debt. They can be bad if you don’t know how to manage your money wisely. Or if you don't pay your bills on time, they could damage your credit rating. Credit cards can also come in handy when you need them for emergencies.

For those of you looking for credit cards for your business you might want to check out this credit card review site I found. It has a variety of credit cards that are sorted by the type of card it is. If you are looking for say a low interest credit card or no annual fee credit card, the site is broken down by category for you. I thought that was pretty cool for those looking for something a credit card in particular.

Make Money With Squidoo – A Mom’s Dream Come True
Parents, especially moms are constantly trying to think of ways to make money at home. As a natural instinct, mothers want to be the one to raise their newborn children, not put them in daycare. I have been there myself. I worked the full time job while my grandmother watched my daughter. It took me some time, but I was able to quit my job and work strictly from home. I am now helping other moms find ways to make money at home too!

There is a very popular website that not many moms are aware of. This site I am referring to is Squidoo. This is a social website that allows it’s users to create one page websites called lens. Squidoo was created by an internet marketing guru who wanted to create an easy way for everyone to make some extra money. How you make money with Squidoo is by creating quality lens that other visitor’s are going to want to view and buy from. There are a few ways that you can make money by creating lens on Squidoo, not just one.

When creating a lens on Squidoo, you are given the option to add different modules. These are modules such as text boxes, polls, guestbooks, etc. Included in these modules are ones from Amazon and Ebay. When you add these modules, you can let Amazon or Ebay pick was is going to be displayed on your lens, or you can choose select items of your choice. When a visitor views your lens and clicks the Amazon or Ebay item and makes a purchase, you are going to make a commission. You have to share this commission though with Squidoo. If you don’t want to share, you can signup for an Amazon Associate account and place Amazon products one your page this way. The benefit of using the Amazon or Ebay module is saving time.

A second way you can earn money through your lens is by promoting your own product or service. If you have no product or service, you can signup for affiliate programs. You then would write about the product and include your affiliate link on your lens. When the visitor views your lens and makes a purchase, you make commission through the affiliate program. Some of the popular affiliate programs being used with this are Clickbank and Commission Junction.

The third way you can make money with your lens is by Google. When you create a lens, Google ads are automatically placed on your lens. When visitors come to your site and click the Google Ads, money is being made. The money from the Google ads on your lens is placed in a pool. The pooled revenue is used to first pay overhead and then the remaining is allocated to the lens. The allocation of this revenue is based on the LensRank and traffic to the lenses. It will be important to gain lots of traffic to your lens to receive this type of revenue.

The last way to make money with Squidoo that I am aware of is by referring others. When a visitor comes to your site and signs up for a FREE account with Squidoo, they become your referral. If they accumulate $15.00 in revenue from their lens, you will earn $5.00. You can view your referrals at any time by visiting the Dashboard in Squidoo and going to “My Stats”.

Now you can see where this is a moms dream come true. Moms and dads can create lenses on stuff they are interested in and earn money doing so. It actually can become a hobby to that is rewarding. One thing to remember is you won’t make money overnight with this. It might take a few months if not longer for your lens to start generating income. You will want to promote your lens as much as possible for the best results.

Are You In Debt?
I wish I could say that I wasn't in debt. I am in debt, but nothing that I can't currently handle. Most of my debt comes from old student loans that I put off forever to start paying on. I worked for 8 years at a collection agency and seen many different credit reports from all sorts of people. You might think you are really bad in debt, but it may not be as bad as it seems. I have seen people with horrible credit, HUGE tax liens and judgments from all kinds of creditors. I used to be a paralegal and would have to prepare lawsuits for those that refused to pay that had assets.

If you are in debt and thinking of bankruptcy, be sure to weigh your options. Be sure that that is your only choice. I say this because it stays on your credit for 10 years. Now, I know there are those that really need to file. Then, there are those that file that should have done something else. If you live in Pennslyvania, be sure to check out Harold Shepley & Associates LLC, they are PA bankruptcy lawyers. They can help you with your debt situation no matter where you live.

Decorating Mexican Style

I would love to be able to afford to remodel my house. We have done what we can do, but I can always dream. When I first purchased my house, we replaced the yucky carpet with tile floors. I just wish I would have picked different tile. If I could have afforded it, I would have chosen to go with some stylish tile such as Saltillo Tile. This type of tile is one of the most famous produts in the Mexican city of Salitillo, Coahuila. These tiles vary slightly in color and shape, but make a room look great. My tile is black and looks dirty when its clean. If you have a deck or back area of your home to decorate, they even have outdoor saltillo tile to choose from.

If you happen to be looking for a new look for your home, I suggest checking out South Texas Saltillo Connection. They have great prices on hacienda style and Mexican decor. You will want to check out their sinks & tubs too! Way cool stuff! On their website, you can request a quote for the products you are looking for. Now I need to start making more money so I can fix my home up Mexican Style!

Until Next Time

I know I have been quiet lately. I have actually been learning more about creating an extra income with Squidoo.

There is actually too much information on this topic, that I am having to go through and find the good stuff.

If you are interested, here is a few of the lens I have created this past week:

What Is It Worth?
I came across a neat website tonight UsedPriced.com, that allows you to lookup the fair market value of various items. Have you ever wonder what your computer was worth, or your car stereo? When you visit the site you will see a list of the categories they have results for. You then select a category and then input your model number. Here are some of the categories: Audio Equipment, Camera Equipment, Car Stereo, Computers, Copiers, Musical Instruments, used gun pricing , Video Games and more. Looks like a great site to bookmark if you sell used stuff on or offline.

Until Next Time

Doing Business In Nevada?
Are you located in Nevada? Nevada Corporations Incorporated has a free offer on their website for a FREE 100 page book packed with information on the benefits of incorporating, Nevada Corporations, Nevada Incorporation and LLCs. Looks like a great offer for those doing business in Nevada.

Besides the free offer, the site offers a wealth of information on Nevada Corporations, LLCs, etc. They have been established since 1989 and has became Nevada's largest incorporating service. Do you need to Incorporate in Nevada?

They offer some free conference calls you can listen to online. The calls are on a variety of topics. They also offer a seminar "Small Business Base Camp" that you might be interested in attending if you are local. The seminar goes over the cutting strategies of the world's top Fortune 500 companies. They have two video clips if you are interested in viewing information from the last seminar.

A site to see if you are looking for information on: Nevada LLC Corporation. For those of you like me with websites, they also offer an affiliate program. How cool is that? If you have a website you can promote their services on, you can earn a 10% referral fee.

Until Next Time
