Free Money Files: Pepperjam Network
| *Sponsored Post* Affiliate Marketing can be a great source of passive income, if you use the right tools and find the right companies with which to affiliate your blog. Unfortunately, this is harder than it sounds, which can be pretty frustrating. Most Affiliate Marketing networks are flawed in one way or another, which can make it really hard to find the right affiliate match. Even when you do, sometimes you have to go through so many hoops that it doesn't seem worth it, or sometimes you just can't keep up with all of the changes that get made to your service agreement. But there's a new sheriff in town that promises to fix all of that, or at least come really close. Pepperjam Network is a new affiliate marketing network with big advertisers along the lines of Blockbuster, among others, which promises better communication, advertiser transparency, and a clean Web 2.0 interface--and that's just a few of the improved benefits they offer. I'm willing to try them out. Take a look at their press release below to judge for yourself.

Thanks, Tricia! / Electric Orange Referral Links
| I want to take a moment to give a shout out and big thanks to Tricia over at Blogging Away Debt for hosting my ING Direct referral links. She contacted me a while back after I used one of her referral links to open my own account, and offered to post my links on her popular site, three at a time in rotation with those of her other referees. Since then, all 25 of my referral links have been used--that's a $250 dent in my consumer debt, all thanks to Tricia and her readers. Thanks a bunch, Tricia! I'm all out of INGDirect Savings referrals, but I still have 25 referral links on my ING Electric Orange electronic checking account. This account pays up to 4.80% APY on deposits, has no minimum balance requirements, and i's free. It's also pretty easy to use. I'm considering changing my paycheck's direct deposit to this account from my IBC account and making it my primary checking (I still need to keep the IBC because ING doesn't offer paper checks. They will, however, mail an electronic check for you if you need to pay something by check). It has a credit line for overdraft protection, and it's easy enough to keep from paying interest on that if you link the checking account to your ING Direct savings account like I have. Transfers between them are instant, and they only take a few clicks. The Electric Orange referrals work the same way as the Savings referrals: if you open an account using one of these links with a minimum of $250, I'll get $10 deposited into my account. All of my referral fees get put directly into my "Debt Reduction" sub-account and are used to pay down my credit card debt. If you would like to use one of these links to open your own checking account, just drop me a line at jeanjeanie AT gmail DOT com with "Electric Orange Referrals" in the subject line, and I'll send you a link.

$25 ING Bonus Links Available
| I'm behind on everything I talked about doing last week. Not being online all weekend can be nice in terms of relaxation and quality time with the Husband, but as far as productivity goes, it's darned inconvenient. Although to be honest I still probably would have procrastinated everything in favor of reading Harry Potter even if I could have gotten online to write. I'm on the verge of a new venture that I'm excited about. Remember how I said I wanted to start trying again to earn money with my knitting? I thought of a niche market where I don't see a lot of competition currently, one involving small projects that should be fairly quick to knit (once I work out the design) and that has the potential to be lucrative if I do the marketing right (that's a big IF--I always fall down in the marketing stage). I don't want to give away any details yet, but expect my Etsy shop to get a makeover in the next few weeks. The other things I mentioned last week, including the wedding planning book contest, are still coming, but first I need to get some work done here in the office. In the meantime, Tricia at Blogging Away Debt has posted my $25 bonus ING Online Savings account referral links, which are currently all up for grabs. If you use one of them to open an account I get a $10 referral bonus, but YOU get a $25 sign-up bonus! In the immortal words of Rachel Ray: Too cool for school! Labels: affiliates, extra income |

Disclaim! Disclaim!
| I haven't exactly been thrilled with some of the content showing up in some of my Google Adsense banners, but at least so far they've been mostly finance-related. Today, though, I feel especially compelled to point out that Google chooses the ads, supposedly based on content (although I'm hard-pressed to figure out exactly what The God Movie has to do with any of this blog's content), and that they do not reflect my personal views and should not be viewed as personal endorsements. For the record, I'm a Christian, and although it's not the focus of this blog, it does inform the choices I make and the way I choose to represent myself here. I'm not offended by the "Jesus Didn't Exist?" banner that keeps popping up, and I'm not going to run to try and get it censored or pulled from my blog, but I feel it's important to point out that I don't hold with the views about God that the ad or the movie it represents are putting forth. Just so's you know. Labels: affiliates, personal |

Quickie
| My job is keeping me too busy to do the posts I had planned for here today, but I wanted to quickly point you to my journal where I posted a short article about earning extra money through Associated Content. Of course, I get a referral kickback if I can get anyone to sign up using the link there, but who doesn't love to make extra money? Labels: affiliates, extra income, self-promotion |
