AT&T is offering AT&T Small Business InSite, a compilation of services and resources that are perfect for any small business. From phone service to internet and more, it’s all in one convenient location. If you run a small business, or if you are considering starting a small business, you should definitely check out the AT&T Small Business InSite.

There is also a really cool contest that AT&T is running to promote the InSite section of their website. The winner will get tons of stuff for his or her small business! Two smart phones, one year subscriptions to several helpful services including web hosting, web design, and more, a Windows server, and a one-on-one consultation period with an expert in the field of small business. Tools like this will definitely pay off in the long run to help your business meet great success.

I have a business idea that is not necessarily unique, but is definitely a proven one and has already brought me success through freelancing. I think it would be so cool to run a small content creation business, that would create custom content for webmasters and other local businesses. This would range from written copy to graphical design, everything that a company would need to succeed. Basically, my business would be for other small businesses. If I were to win the contest that AT&T is running, I could definitely get my feet of the ground with this idea a lot faster, and it would make it a lot easier for me to pick up a couple additional employees so that it wouldn’t be a solo operation. The web design and consulting would be especially handy in helping my business idea succeed!

If you haven’t already, be sure and check out AT&T’s website for more information. If you’re interested and you meet all the qualifications, go ahead and make an entry into the contest as well!

I recently received and activated my iPhone. It really is a pretty awesome phone – there are tons of things that you can do with it spanning from making simple phone calls to installing detailed applications to help you get things done. It really is like a handheld computer, and you can do quite a bit on it, much more than any other conventional cell phone. I’d even say that you can do much more than other smartphones as well! If you don’t have an iPhone but you are considering getting one, definitely do so. It’s worth it! You’ll be addicted within moments of picking it up and you’ll never want to go back to a regular cell phone again.

This summer, in addition to the pre-existing New Jersey attractions, there will be something else there that is sure to make the vacation even more attractive for families with children. After visiting the New Jersey amusement parks you can take your children to see the Radio Disney concert event – the best part is that the concert is totally free! All of Radio Disney’s top popular artists will be there, so your kids will surely have a blast, especially if they are in to the artists played on that station. If you have children, you should consider a Jersey Shore beach Vacation this summer, as you can still go easy on your wallet and yet do tons of fun things that are fit for the whole family. Just because the economy is having some downtime doesn’t mean that you have to skip your vacation this year. Go out and have fun!

I’d like to announce that over the next month or so I will be releasing a brand new revolutionary eBook. I’m going to be promoting this one fairly heavily – as this is actually something that is not out commonly on the web. In fact, after the idea hit me, I did a lot of research to see if anyone had thought of it and/or posted it online before – and from what I’ve seen, this idea isn’t roaming the web yet.

The preliminary price of the eBook is $30 per copy. However, in the coming weeks, I will be giving away several free copies to those who agree to review it. Check back often to see what the requirements are and you might get yourself in on the next big piece of the internet.

Payday Loans can be found nearly anywhere you look. I know that in my small little suburb, there must be at least half a dozen establishments that serve this one common purpose. Not every Payday loan store is equal, though. It’s best to do a bit of research. In fact, there are many websites that allow you to do this very thing online! You should definitely consider using the internet before making a commitment like a loan.

Once you do get your loan, it’s also just as important to remember that you do need to pay it back! Make a list of the due dates and be sure that you pay on time so that you don’t get held back by accuring interest and late fees. If you play it smart, you’ll definitely find that payday loans can be helpful when you are in a crunch.

I’d like to update you all with my successes in the Adsense field.

Although it’s not to the point that I may prefer, I am consistently making above $1 a day, and have been for several months now. Although there was a period of a week or two where I was able to consistently pull in over $7 a day, that didn’t last for too long. I can’t quite figure out what caused that – or how to get it back.

The odd thing is that my traffic has stayed steady, as well as my number of clicks. The only thing that has changed is that I have noticed that the cost per click has declined sharply. This seems to be a problem that many face. Although I plan to continue to use Adsense as a source of income, I definitely want to diversify, also.

Moving Up The Ladder

The other day, something hit me. I was pretty low on the ladder rung… producing content for other webmasters. Do you see what I mean? In order for them to be able to pay me, they have to be making a profit off of my services.
So, now, I get the brilliant idea that I’m going to do what my clients are doing – except I’ll produce my own content for my own website, and monetize it with adsense.

This Isn’t The Top of the Ladder
No, this is very far from the top. Because those people who buy adwords ad spots? They have to be making a profit too. But don’t worry, I’m moving up the ladder slowly. After I master adsense, I’ll dabble my hand in the affiliate market. But hmm, is affiliates the top of the ladder? No. The person paying those affiliates has to be making even more of a profit. That’s for far off in the future, though.

So, my advice right now is take advice. At first, I didn’t want to start a niche site. But now I’m glad I’ve moved away from trying to run “anything and everything” websites. And I’m sure I’ll have much more advice to impliment in the future. And all my readers – this blog is your view into my online earnings adventure. And maybe you can learn a bit on the way…
My average daily earnings right now from adsense is about $0.30 – but I just started not too long ago. We’ll see where I go from here

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
Money isn’t important – it’s a means, not an end.
As you quest to earn money online, keep your priorities straight. Money shouldn’t be one of them.

The Needle In a Haystack?
My most recent job online, in addition to blogging and content production, is data entry. Most of those data entry job ads are total scams. However, I was able to come accross one that actually isn’t a scam – I had to invest $0.00 to get started, and I get paid just over $10 an hour. It’s not much, but seeing as how it’s fairly easy and I can do it whenever I want, wherever I want, it’s a good deal. Heck, I could do 10 minute spurts at 6 times during the day – that’s still $10.

Some Haystacks are Filled With Needles, Some have No Needles.
So, you want a data entry job now, right? I mean, with the way things are, any supplemental income on top of your current job is great. My best recommendation is to go Genuine Jobs or one of the many webmaster forums online and advertise your services. You’d be surprised how many offers you get – or at least, I was. I didn’t know just how big the market really was for data entry jobs!

Don’t Pay for Your Needle!
If you only remember one thing from this post – DON’T PAY A SINGLE CENT FOR YOUR JOBS! There may be some genuine jobs out there that do require investment, but about 99% of the true job offers require no investment. If it requires you to pay them for them to pay you, what’s the point? Can you see the lapse of logic there?

I’ll be sure and keep you all updated on how things are going.

This is terrible news for me. If you’ve been around for a while, you probably know that the majority of my income comes through the Digital Point forums. (At least, that’s where I get most of my clients)
Well, today, I tried to log on, and it said that they didn’t recognize that username. I figured it must be a glitch, so I kept trying. I even searched for my profile – no results. And after finding one of my old threads, I could confirm it – my account was gone. Not banned…. but totally deleted.

So, there goes all the business negotiations that I had going on, plus the reputation (iTrader) I had earned, as well as all the contacts I had built up and saved on my contact list there. It’s all gone. And perhaps the admins will fix it, but I highly doubt it.

Well, now it’s a tropical storm. I don’t live anywhere near the coast, so we weren’t expecting to get much, but we were expecting to get at least 40-50 MPH winds over here. Interestingly enough, besides some rain showers and one or two strong gusts, it’s been really calm here today.

Have any of you been effected by the storm?
