Review Mad - by Neeli-Blogs

The New Year is upon us, and even though we may have enjoyed an extra cookie (or 4) during this holiday season, a lot of people are going to be setting the oh so predictable New Year's Resolution of losing a few pounds in 2010. We can't help it, American is obsessed with skinny -- or is it?

A recent poll suggests that even though many of us may still feel like the world is screaming at us to be and stay in those children's sized clothes, the overall mindset of "a desirable figure" is changing - at least when it comes to women.

Kate Winslet, Halle Berry, and Beyonce were voted the most desirable celebrity bodies, beating out Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham, and even Meghan Fox.

An earlier poll, sponsored by Special K cereal and done in the summer of 2009, also suggests that many of us our changing our opinions when it comes to female beauty. Nigella Lawson, the gorgeous British chef who makes amazing things like Doughnut French Toast, topped the list of figures women would like to have. Dame Helen Mirren was also considered to have a hot bod (you've seen those pictures, haven't you?), along with the surprising but always inspiring Dame Judi Dench.

While there's nothing wrong with being naturally thin, the gravitational pull towards healthily proportioned women is a trend that helps most of us breathe a little easier. Everyone can have their own opinion of beauty, but the less focus put on the ribcage, the better.

Winslet, who has time and time again spoke out against the strange trend toward dieting ourselves into nothingness, is also a big advocate against cosmetic plastic surgery. ""If people are noticing my boobs in a movie and saying they do what real boobs do," she commented to People magazine in July, "then that's great."

Europeans must be thinking the same thing because just this month a ban was proposed on all "digitally altered models targeting girls younger than 16". More and more people seem to be crying out for the real deal. Beauty doesn't have to come from Photoshop.

With so many fabulous female role models who are no longer afraid to let their real curves show, 2010 will hopefully usher in a different sort of resolution. A resolution not just to give up sweets and torture ourselves on the treadmill, but to find our true healthy weight and love every pound of it.

You might have seen quite a lot of articles on making money but this one really is an output of a lot of research and really separates the good ones from the bad. You really can make money on the Internet and not everything is a scam. Well you might not be able to make thousands, but with little bit of perseverance and patience, you can make some handful money.

I would be updating this blog regularly, so you might want to bookmark it and check it once in a week or so.

Step 1. Read this, just for a bit of inspiration. I make about $2000 a month on the internet. Not enough for me and my family to live on, but a nice addition to my income just the same. It's pretty easy, and pretty quick, to get a SMALL income stream started. It takes time and effort to build it up. Might as well get started today.

Step 2. Take stock of what you have to offer. If you are a writer, programmer, designer, or photographer, there are oodles of opportunities for you. If you have a speciality of any sort -- carpentry, raising kids, planning vacations or weddings, playing Guitar Hero 3 -- you can get paid for your expertise. Even if you think all you can offer is time, there are opportunities for you as well.

Step 3. Scan the steps below. Pick the one that seems the best fit, and start exploring.

Step 4. Freelance Work (sometimes called "personal outsourcing"). If you have a skill to offer, check out the various freelance sites like elance.com and guru.com. You can post your skills at these sites, so potential customers can check you out, and you can also look around for freelance projects that others have posted.

Step 5. There are tons of opportunities for freelancers, in very varied fields. Common projects, though, are writing, computer or design work -- creating web pages, programming, writing brochures or reports, illustration and photography, and so on.

Pay can be pretty good, especially after you've earned a quality rating at one or more of the freelancing sites.

Take a look at the "How Elance Works" video on their main page to get a quick overview.


Step 6. Writing. There are a number of ways to take your skill as a writer and turn it into cash.

One of them is right at eHow.com. Write brief "How to" articles on any topic of your choosing, and get paid for the article. The more popular the article, the more income you can expect. A good article will bring in $50 per year or more. Write 10 articles, and that's $500. A hundred articles...you get the picture.

Step 7. More writing. (a) At SoftwareJudge.com, write reviews of select software products...top reviews earn up to $50 each. (b) Product Reviews. You may be familiar with epinions.com, but did you know they pay cash for good quality reviews. You won't get rich, but you can get started. (c) Suggest domain names according to site descriptions at Pickydomains.com Get $25 for each name that is chosen. (d) At Xomba.com, write anything you feel like, and collect 50% of any advertising income from Adsense clicks on your page.


Step 8. Research/Question and Answer (Q&A) Sites. I earn much of my income as an online researcher, answering folks questions on everything under the sun: investments, market research, divorce law, homework help...you name it. If this sounds like your cup of tea, take a look at the resources in the next step.

Step 9. (a) The Association of Independent Information Professionals (aiip.org) can help you build you own Q&A website and business.

(b) I work with Uclue.com Though they are not accepting new researchers right now, it's worth a look to see how a well-developed Q&A site works.

(c) Another Q&A site is JustAnswer, and they offer small payments for answers to questions.

Step 10. Use (or build) your own blog or website to make money online. The key is to generate as much traffic as you can, and to have your visitors click on ads and affiliate links. The more people visiting your site, clicking on ads, and buying affiliate products, the more income you can earn. As good as this sounds, income is generally more a trickle than a flood. But again, steadily building your site (or sites), and building traffic, is the key to generating a steadily growing stream of income. The resources in my forthcoming posts can help you getting started.

Step 10**Sell your photos**

At sites like istockphoto.com and shutterpoint.com you can upload still photos or videos for sale, and receive a royalty payment every time someone makes use of your content.

Step 11**Take Online Surveys**

I mention survey work with a good deal of trepidation...the surveys are tedious, the pay is meager, and there are many sites that are dubious, or out and out scams.

The most legitimate operation I know is GlobalTestMarket.com. They offer real surveys, and they pay real money. Again...tedious, and earning takes a long, long time.

CashCrate.com also pays users to take online surveys. They strike me as legitimate, but I confess, I don't have any first-hand experience with it, so approach with caution...

SurveyScout.com is another possibility, but unlike CashCrate, they charge a membership fee before you can get started (Boo!). I've also heard some negative feedback from users of this site, so proceed with caution (if you proceed at all!).

Step 12**Teaching and Tutoring**

Search on [ Online tutoring ] and you'll uncover dozens of sites in this booming corner of the internet. Many accept applications for online tutors, with variable rates and topic areas. Two to consider are tutor.com and ehomeworkhelp.com

Step 13**Check into online "Jury Duty"**

Here's an odd one. Lawyers looking for feedback on how a case will play before a jury can make use of online e-jury sites to solicit input from the type of average citizens that show up on juries. Yes, you get paid. Fees for complex cases can run over $50, though $20 is more typical. To serve as an online juror, check out onlineverdict.com, or trialpractice.com.

Be aware, though, that none of the sites I've registered at has ever actually contacted me for a jury case, so I'm not sure just how active these services are. If anyone knows more about them, please leave a remark in the Comments.

Step 14**Become a virtual office assistant**

At TeamDoubleClick, you can sign on for temporary jobs as an office assistant, handling correspondence, emails, bookkeeping, data entry, and other office jobs. Think of it as an online temp agency for virtual work. Pay is varied, but you are not obliged to take jobs that don't meet your financial needs.

Step 15**Play games**

At moola.com, you can get paid to play.

This is probably the strangest one yet, and I can't personally vouch for it (I've only tinkered with the site), but it looks legitimate. Moola starts you off by giving you a penny, which you can then double, and double again, through a variety of games and activities.

Presumably, they make oodles of money through ads, and are willing to throw some of it your way by participating in their zany set of games and marketing gimmicks. They call themselves a "Massively Multiplayer Rewards Game". It's too complicated to explain here, but worth a look.

Step 16**Participate in crowdsource design**

"Crowdsourcing" is the buzzword for getting a lot of people to do your work for you. If you're good at designing things like t-shirts, logos, fancy fonts, and other graphics, take a look at the challenges at 99designs.com and threadless.com.

If your design is chosen, you can collect hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Step 17**More blogging opportunities**

How does $100 a month sound for writing a few blog posts every week? That's what you can be paid (actual range is $84-140) if you get accepted as a blogger at Creative Weblogging. They are a large blog network, and seem to have mastered the art of monetizing their many sites. All they need are people to write them, and keep the content fresh.

Step 18**Earn with any type of content**

Blogging, articles, photos, video, you name it. Flixya offers 100% of ad revenue to anyone who posts at their website (you need to have your own Google Adsense account to participate). Words, pictures, videos, whatever ya got. Post it, bring in some traffic, and collect some ad clicks. (Haven't tried it yet myself, but Flixya has a good reputation).

Step 19**Just Visit**

Another site that pays for content is mylot.com, but they also promise earnings everytime you use the site!. They also pay for referrals. Haven't given them a test run yet, so use them with caution, but they seem worth exploring, at least. If you have experience with them, please post a comment, below.

Step 20**Listen to music**

At slicethepie.com, you can get paid for listening to music.

Say what!!! Yep, listen to upcoming artists, and review their music. The more reviews you write -- and the better you are at spotting new talent -- the more you can get paid. Some folks are pulling in several dollars per review.



I have lots of more tricks up my sleeve but won't let all of them out at one go. Will add few more each week. So keep checking back.

London Dreams Movie Review

October 31st 2009 08:32
London Dreams movie needs a reality check. All the performances were good. But there are places when you will think "How can this Happen".

Ajay is good in his performance but it is really difficult to accept him as a rock star
