Slice The Pie, Quick Overview

I am always on the lookout for extra ways to make cash. Slice The Pie is pretty interesting. You listen to music, which is bands for the most part not famous or anything and write a review. Now I am earning small amounts of change, but you can listen to 90 seconds of audio and then submit the review.

My best review earned me 11 cents, while my worst was 5 cents. I know you are probably thinking, not worth the time. These types of opportunities shouldn't be taken as a full time job... This is a way to earn extra cash!



 This is fun if you like music. The higher your ranking means the more you get for each review. I tend on keeping up with this site. You need $10.00 dollars before you can get payout. So far I earned $.85 cents for my first time using the service, so I see promise. It might take some time but I am just looking for side money.

3 Weekly Post Cancelled

I've decided to stop doing my 3 weekly post:

Tuesdays Check Out That Blog
Educational Video Thursdays
Hubpage Sunday

Those days I was providing links to blogs I thought were worth reading, worth it videos and hubpages. I feel like I am wasting posting space to post just one link. So instead I think I will just use the link list option on blog and share links that way. It seems better than making 3 separate short post a week.

I also won't be posting to this blog as much for the time being. Due to my offline job and 2nd blog I have been quite busy here and there. Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause.

My Thoughts On Using Your Forum Signature To Get Traffic

Can I get traffic by putting a link to my website in my signature?

Yes, you can. But you need to post to the forum with good post not crap post like "wow thanks for the tip" There is nothing wrong with that sometimes, but its better to add to the post, ask a question, offer advice.

You should try and make a name for yourself on a forum, if you are offering good advice than chances are someone will click on your link to see what you do on your blog or website.

Do not underestimate the power of this free way to gain traffic.


Can I post a link to my website in the post I make?

No! That usually is marked as a spam post. Some websites allow links to other websites if it is useful to the post itself. But normally this is a no-no and classified as self promotion. This is what the signature is for, put the website there. That way every post you make will show your signature and you won't be breaking rules.

You can use google analytics for free to track where your traffic is coming from as well. Either way don't dismiss this great way at getting traffic. Just don't advertise yourself either though or doing anything spam like.

Educational Video Thursdays: How To Use HubPages To Get On The First Page Of Google

When it comes to blogging and getting traffic I am always up for new ideas. I knew most of the stuff already explained in this video, but not all of it.

There is a part that mentions when you are choosing your keyword to search it in: Google Adwords Keyword Tool If people are searching it at least 1,000 times a month, than use it.

Second thing is to go to google and type in the google search bar whatever the keyword is using (Example: "Work At Home") Let's say work at home is your keyword, you would type it with Quotation marks like shown above. If the results are no more than 50,000 you should use the keyword.

This is a really good video and something I may try. When I search my keywords I normally just use google's keyword tool and that is it. But trying this method could help.

Here is the video:


As you can see the video is very clear and concise and to the point of things. Hope you enjoyed this video, stay tuned for next Thursday's video.

55 Swagbucks Away From A $5 Amazon Gift Card

I'll be honest, I get discouraged easily when it feels like it is taking long to get a reward, however I did slack off for a week there and never bothered coming to the website.

Originally I wanted to get a $5.00 Paypal card, but it cost 700 SB (Swag Bucks) Seeing that an Amazon card is much less, I think I'll be doing that. I do have some things I want to order from the website so when I earn enough points I can get my amazon card to go towards those purchases.

May as well save money somehow right? And it is easy. Everyday I easily can get swag bucks by doing the daily poll, sometimes a survey and the search bar. Playing games and watching videos is another way to earn with Swag Bucks.

Come On Over And Earn Some Swagbucks

Educational Video Thursdays: Work From Home Success Story

Hey everyone! I am sorry that this video was not posted on Thursday its Friday where I live, 5:22AM. Thursday ended up being a really busy day for me. I had to have my car looked over to see what it needed for inspection and visited my family.

Anyways, today's video is a work at home success story.



I saw this video before quite a while ago and forgot about it. Although this video doesn't share a bunch of new information it is nice to hear a success story. And it is nice to see someone making money with an online job.

Hubpage Sunday: Easter Crafts Round-Up: 24 Super Cute Easter Crafts

First of all today is April 8th, Happy Easter everyone! I want to thank you all for taking the time to read, comment and the few people I made friends with, thank you! Today's hub is not about working from home or making money online...

I felt since today was a special day I should share a hub to do with Easter. The one I am sharing today has creative and fun looking craft ideas for around the home this Easter.

I hope everyone is having nice weather today. In Nova Scotia we got hit with a snow storm. I was suppose to go to my parents place for Easter dinner but the roads are rather sloppy and it is a 50 minute drive there and back. So if the roads become decent and the snow stops I may go, otherwise I will be missing Easter dinner. Although is is always depressing to miss a good meal, I can't complain because this is the first year that I may not make it.

Anyways,  You can view the page here

Happy Easter!

Tuesdays: Check Out That Blog # 2

I thought this blog was worth sharing because it has a lot of information. Honestly though some info is easy to find, but I find with the subject "work from home" Most of the info gets used again and again.

There is an article on free backlinks and how to add meta tags. Both are a good read. For anyone who knows a lot already this blog won't do much for you, but newbies should enjoy!

Blogging For Fun VS Blogging For Money

The first blog I made was made for the purpose of trying to make money, and some fun but not much. I focused to hard on the money aspect that I lost the joy of making a blog. Sad but true... Later down the road I made the decision to use adsense and some affiliate links with no expection of making any money from this. I wanted to focus on content and traffic.

Easier said then done, there is a lot of work involved in writing your own blog post and generating traffic. This is a big reason why you should make sure to blog about stuff you like and know about. My main blog is about World of Warcraft its a blog about making gold in the game. I have large traffic burst and then the traffic will die down. This is because of lack of driving traffic to the blog.

Now if you are doing your blog strictly as fun and don't give a hoot about money opportunities then chances are you won't care about driving traffic much either. I guess it depends though.

I think some of the pros for blogging for fun is that in some cases you are not looking to impress someone, and don't care about money so your doing it as free will. If you transition into trying to make some money this can become stressful, so don't quit your day job. If someone told you, instant riches were waiting they lied.

A good blog is not just the content or traffic techniques. But also the blog itself. What is the blogging topic? Is it popular? Do you offer your readers anything? What do you do to make your blog *special* and stand out from the rest. That is what a good blog is about. It doesn't mean you need fancy lettering, just give the people what they want. Reviews, advice and support, all target searches done on the Internet daily.

Blogging for money can be stressful but like I said don't quit your day job. There are people making a living from blogging but it takes a great amount of work to get there!
