Earn Extra Money With Social Spark

I've mentioned many times my love of being a stay at home mom. It's the absolute best job in the world and I wouldn't trade it for anything!! While being home, I have come to find some really easy ways to make money online....some bring in more money than others. Recently, I came across one opportunity that really seems to stand out among the rest....that's SocialSpark. Have you ever heard of it?? They are a here to help regular bloggers like you and me make money with our blogs, build community and even drive traffic to them!! Isn't that great?!?

So, you are probably saying...I've heard of sites like this before...what's so special about this one?! Well, let me tell you. The following are part of the SocialSpark Code of Ethics: 100% Audit-able In-Post Disclosure, which is great for those of us who like to let others know when we're being paid for a post we write. I always make sure to give my truthful opinion on things, but still like others to know when it is sponsored, and when it is not. 100% Transparency, 100% search engine friendly, and probably my favorite.... 100% real opinions! That's right, using Social Spark you are allowed to give your honest opinion...which your blog readers deserve and so do you as the author.
How would you like to earn a little extra money each day or week? Well, you can! It's as easy as using your blog to write about things that you enjoy...whether that be products, sites or something else...it's that easy!! It has been a wonderful way for me to earn some extra money staying at home with my daughter, and I know you will enjoy it just as much! If at all interested, I would strongly encourage you to head over to Social Spark's website and learn more about them. You won't be sorry you did!
The Beauty of God's Creation
Posted by jennasue
Labels: Blogging, Motherhood, Parenting
This is probably one of my favorite times of year. As I type, I look out the window and can enjoy the blue sky, the green grass, the birds chirping and the trees and flowers starting to bloom. Isn't God's creation magnificent?! It is beautiful! I think Spring is my favorite season out of the four, mainly because the temperatures are pleasant and it's easy to go outdoors without putting on layers and layers of clothing...at least here where I live anyways. I don't often get a moment just to sit down and enjoy the little things like this...as my days are pretty full and busy. However, I encourage everyone, especially busy parents, to take a minute and relax...soak in the beauty of God's creation. It's a refreshing feeling and important to do this once in a while.
Web Design...why it's important!
Posted by jennasue
When I began blogging I didn't take it too seriously. I had blogs that were focused on many different subjects. Now however, I've learned that if you want readers to keep coming back to your blog, it must be inviting...both in appearance and content. It's good to keep focused on things that are relevant to your blog topics. In researching how to do this even more with my own blog, I came across stylishdesign.com. This is a great design blog all about web designing! They have other great stuff related to web design as well that was very informative and useful! If you'd like to check it out, head over to their site today. You'll find a lot of helpful information there.
Online Business and Search Engine Marketing
Posted by jennasue
As with many other stay-at-home moms out there, I like to earn a little extra income when I find the time. Usually I do this by finding work online. Recently I have been throwing the idea around about doing some sort of online business. I've done different affiliate programs, but am anxious to get something started on my own. The first thing I would have to do in pursuing this possible venture is to set up a website and bring traffic to it. Researching this exact topic, I came across Apogee Search which is a well-known search engine marketing firm that guarantees it's customers listings in Google, Yahoo, etc. If you're like me and wanting to start up your own business, this is a very important place to start. Utilizing the marketing methods that Apogee takes advantage of will ensure that quality and targeted traffic will be directed to my site. I'm still learning more about them on the Apogee Search Blog and through their site which has a wealth of information on their approach and Dallas SEO, but from what I've found so far, this may just be the route that I take.

Easy Way to Earn Money From Home
Posted by jennasue
As a stay at home mom, I try and find ways to make a little extra money when I can. Over the past few months I've found that there are MANY money-making opportunities out there, many of which I have tried!! For the time that I have to actually sit down and work, I've found that using my blogs is the best way for me to earn extra income for my family! Adsense works, however it brings in a minimal amount of money, compared to other money making opportunities like PayPerPost for example. Labels: Blogging, Family, Home, Internet, Making Money, Motherhood
What's great about PayPerPost is that you can still stay true to your blog and Get Paid to Blog About the Things You Love!. It's so easy! What I like best is that you can choose the opportunities that interest you...you're never forced to pick a topic that you don't want to discuss or promote. I'm sure many people have heard of PayPerPost, and probably even have tried it. But, if you're one of those that still haven't tried it...I strongly urge you to check it out! You can make hundreds of dollars a month with very little time invested in it. It's truly the PERFECT side job for any stay at home mom, and I'd recommend it to anyone!
Starting a Business From Home
Posted by jennasue
Now that I am a stay-at-home-mom, making money from home is something that I've researched and become very interested in learning more about. I've even thought about starting my own business from home. The only problem with that, is that there are so many different opportunities out there....but knowing the real ones from the scams is not an easy task! When I say "own business" I mean something small that I can do on my own. Nothing huge that would require bpm software of any sort. I've come across many different avenues I could take, and have even seriously considered some of them. I guess time will only tell if any of these opportunities are ones that I am willing to try and pursue. Labels: Blogging, Internet, Making Money, Motherhood
Part-Time Exerciser
Posted by jennasue
You could call me a "part time exerciser". I really enjoy exercising...when I have time. It gives me more energy and just gives me a feeling of being more healthy which is great! After having my daughter just a few months ago...I really was really wanting to begin exercising more. So, after some thought and consideration, my husband and I decided to purchase an elliptical machine. This is one of the only machines I've ever used that I actually enjoy using. I think the greatest thing about it is, that when I'm using it I don't feel like I am exercising. It's so easy, and the results of using it after a while are amazing! Labels: Blogging, Children, Health, Home, Making Money
When we got it I had this picture perfect plan in my head that I would use it at least 4 times a week. After having it for a while now, I have found that this was an unrealistic expectation for myself. Between taking care of Kaelyn, keeping the house clean, doing some work online, and other things that I need to get done in a weeks time...I find it very hard to fit in exercise every other day of the week. I am finding that I have become a "part time exerciser"...aka...one who exercises when she has time. This is typically 2-3 times a week as of now, which is better than the amount of exercise I was doing before....or the lack of I should say. I'm finding it difficult to get on a schedule as far as working out is concerned, but feel good any time I get the chance. As I condition myself and get more and more used to this "part time" exercise schedule...I am planning on trying to get myself out of bed a little earlier and really work on getting into a routine. As of now though...2-3 days for a half hour each time is working wonderfully! I'm so glad we decided to purchase this machine.
Stay-At-Home-Mom Jobs
Posted by jennasue
Being a stay at home mom is absolutely wonderful! What a blessing it is to be home with my daughter...I can't think of a better job that is more rewarding! While I'm home I try and find different ways to make some extra income when I can. In the past with other blogs that I author I've taken advantage of different "get paid to blog" opportunities, as well as adsense inclusion on them. It's definitely a great way to make some extra money, that's for sure!! Now, however, I'm in search for new ways of making money. I like the idea of "blogging for money", but am interested in other ways stay-at-home-moms contribute to the household income a bit. If anyone has any suggestions of simple ways to make a little extra money on the side for a stay at home mom I'm all ears! :) Staying home with my daughter is a priority to me...and while I'm home with her I'd really like to make some extra income when I can.

Getting Things Done
Posted by jennasue
Being a new mom is such a joy, and exhausting at the same time. Now having been a mom for a little over a month now...I'm still learning how to get everything done that needs to be each day. Between the naps, feedings, and diapers....I'm trying to find time to clean, work online, and do laundry. I'm just taking it a day at a time and with each day that passes it gets a bit easier. It's so nice to have a husband who's supportive and there to help out when I need him as well!! I'm so grateful to have him come home from work and ask "Is there anything I can help you with?" He's been so helpful and willing to clean, take care of Kaelyn...etc. Without him willing to help out....everything that needs to be done would become quite overwhelming for me.

To My Surprise....
Posted by jennasue
When I first began staying home and not working outside of the home...I was pregnant with Kaelyn. In the beginning I thought to myself...This is going to be great! I'm going to have so much time on my hands to get everything done!....Little did I know that this was not the case. Even though I was a stay-at-home-wife at the time...I still was so very busy. Between the laundry, cleaning the house, working online, etc....I found that it was 5:30 in the evening before I even had time to glance at the clock. It's amazing how quickly time goes when you're busy. I didn't expect for it to be that way...but I guess that's just the way it goes. Now being a stay-at-home-mom is much the same. I find myself making to-do lists, only to find that there's never enough time in a day to get everything done. Labels: Blogging, Children, Home, Making Money, Motherhood, Pregnancy
