Can you beat the Slots Part 3

Well we went to the casino and I have to say the book was right!

My husband followed the book per the directions in the book. I played my usual way. My husband won over $400 and I lost $400. Yes we evened out but I have to say the book was right.

When it came to the right slot machines to play, including location and name brand, the book was absolutely correct. We had fun and we were amazed by the results. My husband never wins when we go to the casino, it was great to see his face as he won the big spins.

Whether you are new to gambling or have been gambling for years, I believe that you will get your moneys worth out of this book. It explains how to budget your money and how to get the bang for you buck and improves your odds of hitting the big spins.

You can purchase a copy of the book at http://stores.ebay.com/Las-Vegas-Coupons-Store.

Google Annihilation - Part Two

Well I finally gained access to the "software" for Google Annihilation. I worked on getting this site up with it for about three hours last night and then gave up. I just can't take it any more.



The first thing you should know is when it says "Software" they are not talking about the traditional software where you download a file install it on your computer and then run a program. The software that they refer to is PHP which is a web application.



The problems that I encountered with the "software" are as follows:



1. You have to create a .PHP file to add to your blog or web site. They say that they create this file for you, but you have to copy the header and footer information from your web site/blog and then paste it so they can create a .php file that matches your site. This is where my problems started and ended. They have videos to teach you how to create the file. I failed. I did exactly what the video told me to do and I failed. I could not get my PHP page to look like my blog. It was extremely frustrating.



2. I have to load a PHP file to my blog, which is hosted on blogger. I could not find instructions anywhere on blogger for adding a PHP page to the site. Even if I had found the header and footer information, I believe I would have failed there.



3. You are only allowed three keywords. No offense by blog covers, assembling products at home, taking surveys, getting paid to read e-mail, finding the right home business and many other ways of earning money online or from home. To limit me to three keywords is restrictive and I don't feel that the true heart of this site would have been listed properly.



4. The wait to begin using the software. Since I had registered for a 7 day trial I would have expected to get immediate access to the site and "software" not having to wait 24 hours for someone to activate my account. We are in the digital age, waiting is not in my vocabulary any more especially when I am on a 7 day trial and I want to put something into action.



I am very sorry, I can not tell you how it works.

Google Annihilation

Google Annihilation is the newest product hitting the market for Bloggers, Affiliates and Web Master to help them increase traffic and make more money. So after receiving multiple e-mails about the product, I decided to give it a try and provide an honest review.

The first thing I will say is a word of advise. If you goto the web site and then try and close the page or go back, a pop-up will appear offering you a chat with a live person and a special deal. I decided to stay and I was offered the opportunity to try Google Annihilation for only $4.95 for 7 days (this includes an automatic renewal which will cost $37.00 a month, cancel any time). Well that seems fair, lets see what it can do.

I was also told that I would have instant access to the software after setting up my account and paying the $4.95. So I pay the money through paypal, using the generous donations I receive from this site and then waited. I received an e-mail almost immediately asking me to create an account to access the software.

So I created an account and then logged in, but all the pages were the same. No matter what link I clicked on, my registration information stayed up. I then found out that my account has to be manually approved and activated and since I joined after business hours, I would have to wait. Well day 1 of my seven day trial down and nothing to show for it. Hopefully today will be better.

I will post regular updates on how the software works.

Can you beat the Slots? Part 2

I received the book on Monday. Unfortunately, I will not be able to go to the casino until the 24th to try it out now. After researching the author of the book, I thought I knew what the books was going to say and my husband and I went to the casino with $100 a piece and tried my theory. Please note, I was making assumptions and this was not book telling me what to do.

Needless to say my assumptions were wrong and whereas I had a good time I did not win any money. Now that I have read the 27 page book, I sort of understand what I did wrong on the first night, assuming that the book is right.

Basically I told my husband that we had to find 2 token maximum bet machines and put our hundred dollars in it and let it ride. OK, I was right about the 2 token portion of that statement. According to the book, if you spin more than 6 times without winning anything you should walk away. That is an important piece of information don't you think.

The book explained payout levels on the machines too and explained how I can configure out which machines pay out more frequently giving me a better chance of winning something big. The book also explain how the computer program in the machines work and how we can increase our odds of winning.

Everything written in the book makes a lot of sense, but again, I have not had a chance to put it into practice and I can not go this weekend, so I will do a followup report on 25th or 26th and let you know if the book is worth the $12.99 investment. Hopefully I will be able to post some pictures of me standing by a winning machine. :D

How to Protect Yourself from Work at Home Scams

How To Protect Yourself From Work At Home Scams
by Tina Barraclough

You have decided to start a home based business but you want to find an honest, legit home based business. With all the scams out there, you are unsure of how to go about finding one that is not a scam. Before starting a home business, there are many factors to consider. Many work at home opportunities are honest and will not rip you off, but also, some are scams. By learning to research work at home opportunities and the companies will protect you from the people that are scammers. Many people think about starting their own home business but are apprehensive because they are afraid of being scammed.

You can protect yourself and find an honest and legit home based business.The first thing you must do before you make any decisions about joining any work at home business is research the opportunity and the company thoroughly. This will be your best defense against being scammed. One thing to remember, if it sounds to good to be true,more than likely it is a scam.

Here is some places that you can check and do research on any work at home business. If you have been scammed I have listed where and how to file a complaint.

Research:

UNAID Recruitment Officer Job Offer

I received and e-mail about a job with the United Nations yesterday and something seemed off about it, so I decided to do my research before investing my time or money into the job.



The UNAID Recruitment Officer job is a check scam. Basically a company states that they need your help processing payments. The most important thing you can remember is that a legitimate company will never ask you for your personal bank information.


The scam works like this:


1) The organization sends you a check that you deposit into your bank account.
2) You get a cashiers check for the money minus 10% which is your “payment”. You send the cashier’s check to the organization usually in another country.
3) Within days or even weeks, your bank will contact you to let you know that the check you deposited is bogus and you are liable for the money you sent in the cashier’s check.
4) If this over draws your account, your bank may freeze your account until the full amount is paid back.


This is bad place to be in. Remember if it is too good to be true, it probably is.



Below is a copy of the E-Mail (Typos and all)

HOME COMPUTER WORKERS NEEDED!

I received an e-mail this afternoon (see original e-mail below) and I want to explain what it is.

Basically any time you see an e-mail or an ad stating that they will pay you to process orders from home, the person is selling you instructions on Affiliate Marketing.

They are NOT hiring you to work at home, or offering you a job. Basically you would be working for yourself. You advertise, you send out e-mail, you find customers and if they buy the product you get paid.

In the e-mail below it states that they will give you 8,000 opt in leads. I am one of the leads that the person that send me the message received. He received my e-mail address because of this site. I promote my blog on FFA sites, that then sell my e-mail address. Do you consider it a lead if the person never inquires about your service? I don't. I am not going to spend the money on this program, I already spend money on a similar program and I was disappointed.

My personal opinion is your should not waste your money. Go to ClickBank open an account and read the directions they give you. It is pretty much the same thing as what you will get with this offer.

I Don't live in the USA can I still do the work?

What kind of orders am I processing?
They will vary depending on the type of client you will work with ( to be covered in the training materials, but do NOT involve anything illegal or pornographic in nature).
Also, to process just one order usually takes about 15-20 minutes per order submitted. Once you have accepted the orders you want to process you will need to respond to process them promptly, so before you accept a task, be sure you will follow through, as there are dead lines to meet.
Just keep in mind, you will be paid IMMEDIATELY when an application is processed.

Why is there a Fee?
We have to cover our expenses in recruiting individuals, processing their applications and training you. Compare us to other staffing firms. They take a percentage of your pay for the duration of your employment with their clients. That's a lot of money! We require a low one time non-refundable fee of only $39.95.

Can you beat the Slots?

Well this is a first, I received an e-mail from a reader that asked if I could review "Beat Slots! Loose Casino Slot Machines! Win Jackpots!!!!!!!!!", it is an e-bay product offered by Las Vegas Coupons Store. The link to the product is: http://cgi.ebay.com/BEAT-SLOTS-LOOSE-CASINO-SLOT-MACHINES-WIN-JACKPOTS_W0QQitemZ390022604120QQihZ026QQcategoryZ268QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262

Myself personally, I enjoy going to a casino and killing $100 and rarely do I ever return with a profit. So I figured, what the heck, I will give it a try.

I ordered the book today and hopefully will get it on Saturday. If I receive it on Saturday, I will go to the Casino and give it a try this weekend and then report back to everyone on Sunday. If I don't receive it on Saturday, there will be a two week wait for the test.

I am doubtful that it will work, but I say that about everything that I purchase to review on this site, so what the heck, I have nothing to lose.

If I have learned anything over the last 5 years, it is not easy to work at home or even just earn a little bit of extra money. It takes hard work and a thick skin to get past all of the people that try and take advantage of others.

Receive Payment from Bidvertiser

I just got paid from Bidvertiser, which is one of the ways that I make money blogging. Earning extra money is easy with Bidvertiser because their minimum payout is $10.00, unlike Google Adsense which is $100.

The best part about Bidvertiser is that they payout via paypal. I prefer to get paid via paypal, because I don't have to go to the bank, I don't have give a company my private information like bank account numbers and stuff like that.

Basically Bidvertiser is a service that matches advertisers with bloggers or web masters and allows them to earn money by displaying ads on their sites. Like Adsense in order to earn money your visitors must click on the ads, so make sure you choose topics relevant to your blog or web site.

If you are looking to make money using a blog or web site, try BidVertiser, if it free to join and you can control the ads they show on your pages. Click below for more information

Make Money With Embroidery

If you are looking to make extra money. Whether you are looking to replace your full time job or just bring a little extra money into your household, consider using a hobby like embroidery to make some cash. Embroidered items are popular, and you can easily begin an embroidery business with a small investment.

The first step to starting an embroidery business is to decided what you want to sell and how you are going to make it.

Do you want to purchase items like shirts, hats, blankets, or towels?
Do you have a source that will supply you with the correct amount you need in a variety of colors or styles?
How do you plan to embroider the items?
Do you plan to hand embroider the products or are you going to invest in an embroidery machine? I received an embroidery machine for Christmas. It is a mid level machine and it cost around $600. I would recommend using machine embroidery to save your sanity and your fingers.

Once you have identified what items you plan to make and sell, begin thinking about where you are going to sell your item. Will it be Ebay? Craigslist? or some other site that specializes in crafts and handmade items. How will you advertise your business? I have found that most people who try to start an embroidery business start at craft shows and work their way up from there. Since crafts are a dieing art there are not a lot of exhibitors which means more people will see your items and possibly buy them.

You are also create a virtual store and drive traffic to it with either pay per click or use blog tactics to get more traffic. Starting an Internet business is inexpensive and a great choice for people that are just starting out or trying to get their feet on the ground.

I have decided to try my hand at an embroidery business. I actually pick up my first client today. A company has hired me to create logo shirts for their employees (this was a response to a craigslist ad).

I will keep everyone informed of how my new business is doing and if you have any questions on how to start your own embroidery business, let me know and I will try and help you.
