Great article. Thank you for sharing your insights. I have to add cell phones, they can be expensive. Unless you use your android or smartphones to help make you money, you are better off with a cheap clip phone. Many are in over their heads with expensive phones. Also, Second-to-none websites can offer discounts with Supermarkets in exchange for a mystery shop. A good way to save some money.

Thank you. Cell phones would fall under the downsizing. They can be very expensive unless you do your homework. Mystery shopping is a great way to save.

I am into odd jobs and doing them for quite some time now. I wish to make it regular and make money. It’s not easy though. I have to work extra hard some of the times. So odd jobs with freelancing can be a way for the way to go.

Also make sure you have money earning apps on your phone and a penny jar in the kitchen.

You taught the Spanish teacher a new lesson, not to teach in a loud voice because someone might already be having lessons for free from her. Nice one. ha ha ha

So, that is how you can stop a braggart. Just comment him and let him show how to do the things he is bragging or show you what he is bragging of.

You subtly had your revenge on the ones who were formerly pestering you. Very strategic of yours, my friend. 🙂

I will take note of this. 🙂

Most people don’t care about anyone but themselves. I have found people to be loud and nasty and living as far from them as possible is the only way to find peace.

I never knew that there are apps like that, until now that I have read your post.

My mother when we were still kids, have a small notebook. In there she would list all those that she spent the money with. I think it helped her budget the money my father is giving her for the household expenses.

She was also able to save some on their savings account, by having a budget and jotting down her expenses.

But today, there are these apps. What a contrast from long ago. 🙂

Thanks for sharing. I understand your point about offline jobs. They do pay more but when you work online sites, they can in time, provide some good passive income. A case in point, Vindale surveys has a referral program and this can add up to making money. Also, hubpages offers a referral program that can provide a percentage of what the other person makes. Granted, this takes time and work but investing your time and telling others can bring some fruit. I don’t think working some sites are a waste of time especially when you are sitting without having nothing to do. Mturk offers a good program and pays better than other sites. So, there is some light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you for this post! These days I am beginning to try offline jobs. I have already created my account on such offline site. I begin to teach – yeah! It’s my real profession and my passion. I am passionate to share my knowledge globally. I like jobs where I teach others. So I support the line you here proposed us.

It depends on how sucessful you are at what you do. I think PTC are a waste of time but those dedicated in writing could be doing well. If you have an online blog and know how to advertise it the right way then you will get more income than you think. The problem here is that you need to be very creative in your writing and know the public you are trying to reach out to, then advertise your blog to said people.

When it comes to writing sites like Literacybase or Mylot it is a slower income but it all depends in the time you invest to get the money.

I have an offline job and i intend to keep it since it is what i live on. The online earning are what lets me spoil myself with something materialistic.

For other people it isn’t like this. Some people can have 3 or 4 blogs, be on writing sites and maybe even youtube. This all together would get you some good income, but like i said, if you know how to get audience for them.

Thanks for referring may be a link would help. Just a suggestion. Yes. I was at niume but the rigmarole of connecting to various sites put me off there. I did earn once. I have not closed the chapter but may try it later.

So NIume is based on views that it generates. I think I will fail there because my FB friends don’t need additional income or have the passion for writing, so they don’t view them.

I suppose the defunct site you have implied is Bubblews. Oh, I earned a lot there. So, when it was slowing down and sensing it will close eventually, I went back to myLot.

Now it’s myLot for fun in interaction and some earnings and LB for earnings galore. 🙂

I cannot take another one because I have my full time job.

Great article. I, like you, look for opportunities to supplement my income. I will try the sites you recommended. I, for one, had have success with Mturk associated with Amazon. They have writing jobs and surveys. I found it to pay better than some of these sites. I, also, wrote a blog about making money with Mturk, so if interested, give it a shot. Anyway, congratulations on your past endeavors and keep up the good work.

I have been on Mylot for years. It is harder to get some decent income but i love being there and interacting with everyone. I actually learned about LiteracyBase from a discussion on Mylot yesterday and deicided to try it out. I am actually liking it around here. It is good that all activities here are rewarded for.

Because i am at work i am limited for now, to only look around and explore or comment on blogs.

I haven’t written a blog yet but i intend to when i am at home.

Looks like you’re adjusting just fine! 🙂

* * *Sadly the owner of the Niume site passed away and nobody wanted to continue the work. The site no longer exists.

Creating the page is the easy part. Getting followers is large milestone to achieve but don’t be discouraged. Work at it. If you provide valuable information people will recommend you to folks in their network. You can pay for advertising if you have the money. If you don’t have an advertising you’ll just have to work at it!! Sounds like you’ve got a plan. Go for it! 🙂

So your plan is to gather employer and employees together who are offering and those who are looking. So, there is the two way pool. You need to gather those. If you will just copy job information from other websites and promote it through your facebook page then this will not going to work in long term, because people don’t want to register too many other sites who are not actually the place to send resume and other stuff.

facebook has some sort of other stories. It totally the game of engagement and reach. No matter how many followers you have. If your users are not engaging your shared content then you will find it hard to push those offering to the wast majority of your audience.
On the other end facebook has decreased the reach for share links, so you are not getting that much reach as compared to videos, images.

Shared Link reach is mainly depends on the CTR of the links. The more CTR for your shared job opening the more people will see this. So you need to make it more attractive by using images and titles.

These are some tips: there are many more to follow. Social media management is the complete field.

it is great plan that will take lots of time and gathering people also takes time so you pick the good suitable people for the job, but what i hate is the facebook it self, i do not like it nor i like the pages or anything there, it will be nice to do it in other medias, for example linkedin, twitter and instagram are much nice than the facebook, though i don not get how that will work and how the idea is going to work, wish you best of luck and keep the good work, social media are so hard and mangageing it is hard work too, needs you to pay your full time to work it out, unless you are old user and have lots of viewers and followrs then you are ready i guess to use your plan and make it in trial phase

I don’t trust science finding because they will one day come and disprove their own findings and tell us different things meanwhile they have created an information in the mind of people. They told us there were 12 planets in the univers and this was taught in schools over the year wbut now they are telling us they have found other planets disproving their own findings. There are many such things i cant talk about.

Interesting as one thing I learned when I ran pre-school is that children settle best when their key worker looks like their mum or main carer. We do bond best with the earliest good caregiver and so are likely to prefer people like them. As the caregiver is usually the same race and ethnicity then that would figure. It does in a way, come down to survival. That said, most people when you scratch the surface are the same under the skin, but every family is in itself, a culture even within cultures.

I get beatuflies in my stomach anytime i read blogs on trump and we are been asked to irgnore a charactor like him. I see him as the world biggest threat now who must be watched carefully. the kind of appointment this guy is making should tell us that he is up to something fishy. He is appointing people who will agree to his lies so when he said african are monkeys and so must be killed they will say yah and act. it is like given osama control the worlds weapons. we must watch trump rather

Will one be given a certificate from learning all this courses from an app. Am asking because now one will employ you into their bank to become a financial analyst because you had knowledge in that from an app. Once you can make any meaning income out of that it will be a waste of time and resources gaining knowledge no one will be interested in. This is like becoming a professor with no portifolio.

But he’s right about BBC, CNN and Buzzfeed. I have yet to validate a single claim of website such as buzzfeed. Lot of crappy articles on buzzfeed. So Trump is right on that part.

Looks like elections held in different countries in the world in the year 2014 to 2016 had see fine people lossing to old trump like charactors.Two of such trump like presidents is the nigerian oldman buharrie and ghanaian oldman nana addo.
This two figures are another laying individuals who came into power through lies and decert and they are mantain those lies to suvive in power. The world is in trouble with trump in charge of america.
He will one day wake up and tell his troups to bomb the world because he could smell a grand agenda of the world raising up against america. where from this hitlar kind of personality. we must watch out.

I thank God i do not have problem wit h my sleeping pattern yet, i sleep soundly without opening an eye the whole night so i don’t need any apps to be able to sleep soundly. But come to think of it how can you sleep soundly under the influence of sound and music. i find it rather hard to sleep when the is noise in my environment. when i sleep and i hear the slightest noise, i am force to woke up but even with that i can still go back to sleep so easily. Anyway that app can only be for those struggling with sleep.

Hmm the legendry ananse has surface in jemica too. this is the charactor we use in our folkalar story telling in Ghana. Rose smith has send me similar mail before. once you reply they get the chance to brainwash you with some pathetic refuegee or money inheritance story that they need your help in. Am fringe interest just to understand their stupidity. Am not a fool to allow a scammer to outsmart me. They have tried many scams in different form but non got me.

Well this is something interesting to store up to tell my mixed race (English/Jamaican) grandson. He will need to know his roots. As for scammers. Most are stupid. The other day one got onto my facebook as messaged me as my friend. It was rather amusing as I was actually on the phone to my friend at the time and waited for the request for money and then we both had a good laugh when I called the scammer out. Like you say. Most scammers are not that bright.

Happened with me few times. But not for the cake but for other things.

it is not every one who goes to even and expect cakes under the occassion in my country. it is good advice anyway

If the situation is already known before the cake is cut all is well but when that is not the case then you can use our home method HPKO – HOUSE PEOPLE KEEP OFF (lol)
