Blog Income Report for Feb 2008 2008-03-02 17:29:56 Another month has passed pretty quickly and it is time to report my earnings. Feb 2008 earnings were not as good as Jan 2008 due to the less number of days. I was not able to beat my Jan 2008 record in regards to earnings but overall this was a good month. I just fell short of $23 to break my Jan 2008 earnings of $343.63, and still much better than my December 2007 earnings of $115.33.I’m still trying to get a little bit more diversity into my earnings with the goal that my AdSense earnings jump 50% while keeping the money earned stable. I think I will have to test a few schemes and get rid of some that do not make that much sense anymore. I have monetized my blog in 19 different ways listed below.So lets get down to the figures of this month!Here is my blog income report for Feb 2008: 1 Read more:Income

How to donate your car? 2008-03-01 21:44:14 What's the Benefit?If you choose to donate a car to charity, it is a an easy way to get rid of a car when you don't have the time to sell it or don't think you can get what it's worth. While not every car is acceptable, donating a car to a charity lets you deduct its fair market value from your taxable income. Steps: 1. Find a charity that accepts cars without charging a large removal fee. Make sure the organization is a registered 501(c)(3) charity or qualified religious organization that can lawfully accept your donation and from which you can lawfully claim a deduction. 2. Determine the fair market value of your car.

Why did I flush AdBrite from my Blog ? 2008-03-01 16:28:30 I was running Kontera ContentLink™ ads along with AdBrite and hoping to Maximize my AdBrite Income. But an email from my Kontera Account Manager had me realize that this is against the TOS of Kontera. Here is the detail from their memo. I took immediate action and got rid of AdBrite from my blog to avoid getting banned from Kontera. If you are running both AdBrite and Kontera, make sure to keep only one of them and get rid of the other because greed is not good. Good luck!Memo follows:I've noticed that you are running AdBrite alongside our ContentLink™ ads on ghostrider30.blogspot.com.

Save LDW on retal car using your credit card coverage 2008-03-01 16:02:05 All of the biggies - Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover offer some sort of coverage. The main difference among the four credit
card companies listed below is that MasterCard and Amex cover collisions, theft, vandalism and weather; Visa covers collisions and theft, but omits vandalism and weather; while Discover covers only collisions. However MasterCard is not useful in areas with dirt or gravel roads [paved roads only].However, details can still vary depending on the specific type (Classic, Gold, Platinum, etc.). Look for specific wording in the paperwork that they mail you with the tiny print on amazingly thin paper. Here’s an excerpt from MasterCard coverage:MasterRental will pay for covered damages on a secondary basis for which you are, or any other authorized driver

Make a Fortune by Finding Lost Money 2008-02-25 20:39:17 Here's a money-making tip that most people don't think of but that can be quite profitable:Dig up what’s owed to you. There are billions of unclaimed dollars in America. They’re held by federal and state governments, as well as private companies, in the form of pensions, bonds, tax refunds, real estate and savings accounts. Unclaimed Funds is a company that supposedly helps people find their missing funds (I don't know anything about them, so I can't comment on their services either way). Their take on the situation is as follows:"There is over 400 billion dollars in unclaimed money in the United States. Each year billions of dollars become lost and unclaimed when banks, companies and governments lose track of the true owner of the money they hold due to: post office mistakes, miss Read more:Fortune
