Smoking update!

Well, I'm still not smoking which is good. I'm not saying that its easy, but I am steadily depositing money into my 10k savings as the weeks go by. But to be perfectly honest, I miss my cigarettes.

I am doing this without use of the patch or any aids. 100% cold Turkey. You may think I'm brave, but actually I'm cheap. That 50 bucks I would of paid for the stop smoking aid can go into my account for my goal.

Associated Content: I'm Earning Money

I finally got published with Associated Content. I have spent a few days reading the forums, and learning what seems to make the most money, and what they are looking for.

Associated Content pays between $3.00 and $20.00 an article. And then they will pay you when you get so many page views. So really you can be paid twice for each article. If you advertise your articles and get more people to come to your articles your page views will quickly go up.

What they are looking for is articles that have good keyword possibilities, for advertising. If you are going to write an article, do it on something that you think people will do a lot of searching for.

Articles about vacation spots, weather safety, children safety, all seem to get picked up pretty quickly. I have had some articles picked up with in hours. The nice thing about news articles is that you will get allot of page views that will help you get more money after you've already been paid for the article.

I write shorter articles between 400-600 words. the minimum words they will accept for an article is 400 words. While I am not making a living on the website yet, the extra money will come in handy. I try to write about 5 articles a day on a variety of things. So far I have only had 2 rejected, but I think one was rejected because I didn't have a good enough title. You need to make sure that you have a catchy title.

They do have an option to pay for current news stories that is a flat pay of $5.00 per article. That is quick easy money. Most the time the news articles are picked up quickly.

This is a great way to make some extra cash. I find writing to be relaxing, and these articles are easy to write and submitting is so easy. They pay 3 times a week and deposit the money in PayPal account.

CashCrate Update


I am happy to report that Cashcrate has corrected their website. My money has been put in my account. Yeah.

Making money doing Scrapbooking

I got another money making assignment today!



Making a scrapbook for a friend. She has all the supplies, but not the time. She is willing to pay me to do the scrapbook for her. I always found the fun of scrapbooking was doing it yourself, but if she is willing to pay me to do it, I will do it. That adds more to the savings account. Since she has the supplies this won't take long at all.


If you talk to people and tell them that you are looking for spare money they usually are willing to help you out. Everyone it seems has more projects then time. I will spend a few hours this weekend doing her project for her. I haven't given her a price yet, since its a friend, it won't be alot but what ever it is, it will go into the kitty.
