Acquiring a loan has been a life-saver for many people especially students who need financing for their school requirements. While they finish their chosen courses without worries, the loans granted to them are used to pay for all their needs. Some students acquire more than one loan while still studying. When a student graduates, repayment period approaches and starts as agreed with the credit companies. Repayment of any student loans acquired should not be a problem because it can be further simplified by looking at the options for school loan consolidation . There are numerous benefits of consolidated loans. A borrower only deals with one trusted lender with one easy payment instead of handling several loans from different lenders. Aside from a single payment, different repayment options are presented again making it easier for the borrower to schedule how much he can afford to pay at a specific period of time. Bottomline is, it reduces monthly payments which can mean more savings. ...

I have been talking about doing some banner designs. Since I am not sure if I already posted some samples of my previous works, I thought of posting some now. These were done last year and before I started paid blogging, these banners were one of my source of income online. I have not only earned extra income but I was able to hone, develop and learn techniques which I might not have known until now if I did not do any design at all. Here they are :)

Are you aware about the risks involve while surfing the internet? Do you feel safe while browsing your favorite sites? How about when you are downloading your favorite music and some original and forwarded messages from friends which you think are worth keeping? As a newbie internet user then, I don't worry about such things. As long as I have an internet access, I am already contented with that. I also disable anti-virus programs and spyware detector and removal tools because they slow down my computer operation and access. I was using a dial-up before. With the antivirus program and spyware detector removed, my computer is still performing slower than the usual. Friends informed me that I need to scan my computer for viruses and spywares because I might have some infections already. I enabled my antivirus programs and for spyware removal, they recommended that I scan my PC with Spy Sweeper to check for possible spywares lurking around. I've downloaded installed Spy Sweeper a...

Today, I am working on some banners that were ordered last night so no writing gigs. I am still thinking of what theme to use as the program has no content yet, no header, no logo and the worst is I can't understand the words that are supposed to be inserted within the banner. Thinking of language barrier and this is it. Also, since I have 2 other regular part-time jobs, these 3 will keep me busy today. So even if I am not in the office doing my regular job, I am still busy. With the kids to attend to also, I say it will still be a pretty busy day today. :)

I have extra time today since it is still a few hours before I am off to work. So, I thought of fiddling with the Windows Movie Maker and created a movie for PayPerPost as part of its blog marketing feature. I have just uploaded the video at YouTube so check it out and feel free to comment :)

Here's another program where you can earn some extra cash writing reviews. I found this site while browsing for some writing gigs online :) ReviewStream accepts reviews of different subjects from banking and finance, gadgets, hotels, car, insurances, services and many other categories and programs. For sure, you have something to write about. Currently, each review is being paid $1.5 via Paypal. So if you have nothing to do, no blog to write about, no articles to rush, why not share your experiences with the others. What's good about sharing is you get something in return :D

After some days of thinking where to spend my remaining e-gold funds, I was able to encash the funds instead saving me from unnecessary spendings. The only remaining funds I have are those that are in investment pools and that of my funds in Marketiva. Just an overview, the acquisition and price of e-gold went down in the past weeks because of the indictment filed by the US government. E-gold was also required to submit the database of its users to the authority. Some large e-gold users are alleged to have accounts locked out affecting their businesses. Because of this, e-gold exchangers stopped accepting sell orders. If they accept orders, they already increased their transactions fees. Aside from an increased in transaction fees, the price also dropped down. It's a total relief that e-gold users are aware of what is happening giving us enough time to encash our funds. I may still be using e-gold for future transactions where it is accepted. E-gold afterall is still the most conve...

This is not an income-related entry and most importantly, this one does not apply to myself but it will might help you or someone you know with their drug treatment . Drug addiction is one of the worst problems that our society faces. People, both young and old, once addicted with drugs had difficulty getting over the addiction.

When long distance learning was first introduced, it was done through courier or postal mail. The education process was quite slow. As technology improved, so was the educational system. There are now online educational programs, not only tutorials for specific subjects but includes masteral and doctorate degrees as well. One of the programs noted for researching and improving the quality of delivering education online is capella university . Course offerings are continously improved and specifically designed to meet the needs and demands of an online education. One of this is Statistical literacy. It is an online course at Capella University that "concentrates on the application of critical thinking skills to arguments involving statistics. Emphasis is placed on the learner as a consumer of statistics rather than a producer of statistical calculations. Course activities focus on the interpretation, evaluation, and communication of real-world situations and news stories." Asi...

Have you ever wondered how much have I earned so far with PayPerPost? Have I really been paid for the blogs that are sponsored by them? I can say gladly say that they do pay and I've already received and spent my payments from the program. :D PayPerPost is one of the first programs I joined when I decided to do paid blog reviews. That was in the last week of February. I earned $30 for 3 blog posts. I also made it to the list of the blogs with a tack rating of 5 and with 2 positive votes. Tack rating is how PayPerPost rate their bloggers with 5 as the highest rating. I continued to do blog reviews for PayPerPost on March where I earned $58 for 9 blog posts. I could have made more if I did not choose the opportunities I took. And this is what I like about paid blogging. I can choose only the opportunities I like to write which I may also do without being paid if circumstances were any different. I stopped blogging April and May and I only realized now while reviewing my chart. Lookin...

It is now June. Have you already counted how much you've earned for the month of May? I've made some pretty rough calculations already. It's not that much but it just proves that I can also earn an income online steadily if I want to. :D If you have noticed, I have not blogged that much in May. It is because I had some difficulties with accepting payments from jobs, both Paypal and e-gold. Some payments were just gone in the wind. Also, since I was able to get a research and data entry job which practically covered the whole month of May, the blogs for May were just done in between the other extra jobs. :) To sum it all, I have received a little higher than $100 for the extra jobs and an undisclosed amount (NDC policy) for the research job. I also earned a few dollars studying forex... lol.... My forex account had a profit performance of 16.87% for the month of May alone. Comparing to a bank savings account earning about 1% a year, I say the performance is extremely well. S...

Here's another great scoop for those who love to win prizes like me. That's right, prizes and not just small prizes but great prizes like this BMW :) What is also great about winning the prize is its free to join and if you win, Bid4Prizes will even handle the shipping. All you need to do is to participate and place the lowest bid which you think is unique. When bidding ends and you got the lowest bid, you will win the prize. Don't worry about the amount you bid on. You will not pay for that. The bid amount is only used to determine the lowest unique bid and eventually will be used to determine who wins the prize. If you don't win, you still earn points for playing which you can use to claim a reward once you reach 1000 points. There is enough time left to place your bids so check the other great prizes - cash, cruise, laptop - and bid on.

Here is an inspiration for you who have not yet decided on what activities can let your earn a passive income online. A ShutterStock submitter has posted total photo downloads of 1170 earning him $351 in just 1 day. Wow, I can decide to retire now if I can get paid for my photos as much as that daily. :) Take note that he has also earned $282.30 just the day before. And who knows how much he has earned from photos the prevvious and next days after he posted. The amount of $351 in one day maybe small when compared to the income of other people who are earning thousands of dollars online but take note that that amount is only for 1 day. It's actually a passive income because same photos can earn again the next days to come. If you got the eye for capturing details and beauty, you will do well in getting paid for your photos. There are other get paid for your photos programs and you can submit the same photos (unless you give exclusive license) to all of them. Before you sign up at ...
