Armani Exchange New Premium Denim at $98

Since I moved in Hawaii, I haven’t tried purchasing Jeans for myself. Every time I visited malls and stores I could’nt find the pair that fits my taste and styles. I have tried fitting them in stores and see if I will be comfortable and not. I ended up forgetting my plan to get a piece of Jeans.

One day, it just flashes in the thoughts the idea of trying to purchase Denim online. Although I can not fit it live but I can see how the fabric is and its style by using the zoom in and out features in online stores. I might even find the favorite brand. I started my search and I came across with Armani Exchange featuring the New Premium Denims starting at $ 98. I have 3 orders in my cart :

1. Light Wash Jeans online exclusive of 30% off and now & $89 from $125 regular price.
2. Potassium Straight Leg $98.
3. Wing Printed Boot Cut cost $125.

I do not care about it cost because I like to treat myself for my birthday this coming August. And I think I have found the best deals. I can also shop other products such as blouses, mens, and accesories. I am sure I can avail free shipping since my order cost at least $100.

In addition to that, I am also interested in "text A|X contest" SMS campaign as well - to win a pair of denim every day for the moth of July by texting the keyword "DENIM2" to ARMANI (276264). FYI: Customers who purchase a full price pair of denim from Armani Exchange, in store or online, between 7/7/09 – 7/19/09 will receive a gift card of $20 off you next purchase of $100 or more, valid 7/30/09 through 8/15/09.

My Online Earning Journey

The Search

I am one of the Internet users who wanted to earn money online. I have read some advertisements about it, click and read tons of ads and articles but ended up wasting my time. For a beginner like me, it was really hard. I didn't know how to start, what to believe and what to focused on. All are experimental. It is really true as what the famous qoute written, "Experience is the best teacher". You will encounter numerous of "how to's" in your mind. In times like this, you need to:

• be patient
• learn from your mistakes
• seek help by posting comments to relevant articles, forums and contact authors if necessary
• do not give up
• keep on reading blogs, articles,books and magasines
• identify scams by reading reviews
• read every terms and conditions before accepting it.
• read FAQ's

The Forum

Online Forum is one of the best place to check. There are forums for work at home, online earnings, scams, reviews and etc. It is also another way of bringing more traffic to your website by making a signature of your website so that everytime you post a topic or respond to any topic, your signature can be viewed and will lead readers to visit your site.

I first learned about how to earn online in the forum. I joined a forum called The World of Filipinas and I used to check on New Post almost everyday. At first, I was just a member, a reader and then I started posting topics. At that time there were people who were talking about bloggingsand Payperpost were the most popular. They were talking about some short cuts or terms where I was not familiar : ppp for payperpost, opp for oppurtunities and ss for socialspark, blogsv, payu and etc. I asked them what each of them stands for. They were very excited sharing experiences and how they enjoyed catching opps, the difficulties in making post and techniques on how to make it easier.

People also posted about surveys, paid emails and there were times that people get crazy oncashcrate thing!

Blogging Journey

Blogger

I started using blogger about 3 years ago. Just a signed up thing and posted 2-4 posts and even forgot my login id and password. Maybe I made 2-3 accounts to note. I did not post regularly in Blogger since I have no proper motivation. It was just a try. I had no idea about adsense thing.

When I learned about blogging, people started with a blogspot account. I created one again. Now what? According to some sources, in order to be approved to some paid blogs and reviews, our blog should at least 3 months old with at least 20 original posts. I also need to build traffic to my website by following their suggestions:

• submit my URL to major search engines
• submit it to social network working sites
• add chat box
• exchange links with co-bloggers
• update posts regularly
• create buzz

I did all those stuffs. I know there are still tons of ways to promote a website but being a novice PC user and blogger, that was all I know.

Wordpress

I have 4 wordpress accounts. But I did not use my wordpress for my paid blogs. No reason. Although, I was happy with wordpress, I enjoyed watching my traffic and its sources from the dashboard statistics and also I got Page Rank 3 in my 2 blogs and PR 2 in other blogs. I think I earned more traffic in wordpress. Every time I received email from wordpress comments,it was all heaven.

Get Paid to Blog Sites

When my blogs was ready, I submitted it to some paid blogging sites. Each get paid to blog sites has its own rules, conditions and requirements. The sites mentioned below are some of the sites that I joined and made money.

Payperpost

I think the earnings will depends on the following:

• Pagerank - The higher the PR the more opportunities available to be taken and you can choose great offers.
• Domain - If your domain is a dot com, your can avail more opportunities than having a blogspot.com, wordpress.com, and others.
• Categories - Some offers does not belong to the cateregories you setup. Change it and be sure you are able to make post for every category you have choosen.
• Frequency of Checking Opps - Some people stays awake at night or get up at early morning to catch more and better offers.
• Referrals - Post referral banners in your website. I have 10 referral earnings at $15 each approved bloggers.

I joined smorty, blogsvertise, socialspark and payingpost and made few bucks. My overall income for my bloggings is around $1200 for one year.

When we did paid bloggings, our google page rank will go down. And it happens to me. I got PR 0 on blogspot site and it means that you can get low offers. We can avoid this by not adding any sponsored posts banners to our site. I only have one website for my paid bloggings. I decided to stop blogging because it will be a waste of time again unless I will create another blogs and will start from scratch again.

Online Surveys

I've learned my lessons on taking online surveys. What a waste of time for few cents! Imagine, answering surveys for 20-30 minute or an hour for a $2 promise that would never come until you reach their payout requirements. The worst thing happened to me was my computer crashed for installing survey software and clicking some survey ads just to proceed with the survey. Mal wares or spy ware, Trojans and viruses were what I gained for entertaining surveys. I was also risking personal identify to those people that I never meet plus unwanted calls from their marketing partners. Some people said not to write your own phone number except for the area code, but it is unfair for those who match the telephone number we entered. I also received survey via mail, promising for a tons of coupons and sweepstakes and all. I did it all but never received anything.

I know not all online earning stuffs works for everybody that is we need to try and see what works best for us.

Paid Emails

Before joining any paid emails, we should search for reviews of each site. It is best way to know if the site is a scam, if they pay good or not. I joined inboxdallors, snapdollars and cashcrate before.

For InboxDollars, we need to have $30 earnings before we can request for payments. I would like to stop, but was motivated to join when I read an article on ehow about paid emails, she set date for cashout, shopping online for birthday or on December for Christmas. It is so boring to read/click and it takes 3-5 seconds but anyway my current earning is $27.45 so I'l just buy it and cashout without a word and say bye bye!

I made a mistake for starting to paid emails on snapdollars, I did not check for reviews! Just a week ago, I checked and found some complains, so good bye!

Cashrate at first I got crazy, there were people who posted on forum about how they earned big bucks for cashcrate, showing their checks and the post was so convincing. But I only tried it for a week because I found out that it was a waste of time and my computer crashes. It is not a scam.

Other Online Contest Success Story

Your skills can help you become successful in any online contest opportunities that you might like to join. Although I do not have formal trainings in origami and video making but I made a try.

Video Contest

I joined a video making contest at viddiction.com. And I won first prize of $500 for making an educational or instructional video on origami. The contest that I joined was the last contest they have posted. I was just got lucky on that time. I think they were trying to promote the site using contest but did not reach the desire number of traffics going to the site and they stopped. I ended up receiving spam emails. When I checked the site back, the contest winners from the first month are no longer published. So I guess that they are not active anymore.

SmartSpace Web Page Builder Contest

I was also successful or just got lucky and be one of the top three most creative entry and got $5,000.

Writing Articles

I started writing articles in ehow last April. I made $10.66 on the first month and $11.57 on the second month for 15 articles in all. I also tried associated content, bukisa and I am now crazy with hubpages.

I think I will focus on ehow and hubpages. I have just make my hubs 2 days ago and found myself writing. This is better than blogging because, I do not need to get up early to catch good offers, I do not need to make google PR, my earnings will go on and on even if I will not write for few days or weeks and it is stress free.

ehow vs hubpages

I both created accounts for ehow and hubpages. I just wanted to see how these things work. Although you can earn online on both website but in my own observation, I earned more in ehow. In order to get paid for your articles in ehow (how to) , you need to earn at least $10 per month. They both use advertisements in order to earn. It's just that I earned more in writing articles for ehow than hubpages. I was thinking, maybe because of traffic. I earned a thousand of pageviews per month in ehow than in hubpages (less than 200 pageviews per month). I also cannot say that it was all about the topic or the kind of articles you wrote because all my articles in ehow and hubpages are related. Ahh... this is just an experiment.

Enhance Your Small Business

One common dilemma that a small business owner faces is that of how to enhance its business. Many people are using the internet as their first choice in searching for services and products. People expect a successful and progressive company to have a good looking business. When dealing with business, one should investigate first by making research, observations of related business or simply read reviews of other people who are in the business. Take your time and do not risk anything without proper planning or else it will end up to wasting you money, time, effort and energy. Find great successful business models and find out why they perform better among the rest. All these things can be achieved by writing, calling or interviewing those business owners.

A neat, precise and well planned project is a reflection on your small business. When potential customers find your project that moment is their first impression of your business. Make sure that you will engage experienced professionals and collaborate online to get project done.

Worst Commercial Air Accident

Air France has told families of passengers on Flight 447 that the jetliner broke apart and they must abandon hope that anyone survived.

The plane broke apart either in the air or when it slammed into the ocean, carrying 228 people disappeared after leaving Rio de Janeiro for Paris on Sunday night.

Investigators were relying heavily on the plane's automated messages to help reconstruct what happened to the jet as it flew through towering thunderstorms. The messages detail a series of failures that end with its systems shutting down, suggesting the plane broke apart in the sky according to an aviation industry official with knowledge of the investigation.

Air France is the deadliest plane crash, and world's worst commercial air accident since 2001.

Gift Ideas: Hummingbirds Feeders

We have two lovebirds at home named Chinkee and Lovely Rita. They love each other. Chinkee is fun full of tricks and exhibitions. Two bad they are in the cage. I asked Jake, why we can not set them free. He said, the can not survive outside. They will die. Bigger birds will kill them and other wild animals. They can not find bird foods and we used to give from the store. I have tried one time to feed them with fruit and other human food but they don’t even try to taste it. I told myself, hummingbirds are lucky, they can freely free and roam around any places as far as they can. They are so cute chirping around your yard. Have you seen them? They come in different colors. One of the best way to attract them is to put hummingbird feeders outside your house and see how the number of hummingbirds grows around your house. I really enjoyed watching them with my nieces and nephews. They can't help to themselves and ran to the birds. hummingbird feeders is also one of the best gift ideas for parents, kids, teachers and special someone.

Educational Assistant Interview

I applied for an Educational Assistant last November 2008 and received a notice that I am eligible up to Level III and that they will contact me for interview. Yesterday, June 17, 2009, I was surprised to read the subject of my inbox about Request for Interview at Wilcox Elementary School on Thursday or Friday. I replied that I am available on Tuesday and Wednesday and so they set to on Tuesday at 9 a.m.

Right now, I am looking for resources for my interview.

Testing Yola Website Builder

I was updating my ehow and hubpages articles. Trying to think about what to do to improve my online earnings. Yes, I have read articles on this stuffs and even tried a few. At present, I have made 22 ehow and 13 hubpages articles. I was observing how these things works. When I started writing on ehow, I still meet the required at $10 earnings per month in order for them to send money in your paypal account. So far, one of my posts on How to Take Certified Nurses Aide Test from Red Cross made me $18.73 as of today's date, while the rest on earned at most $2. Other articles never earned a penny. The highest number of views does not mean you can gain more earnings although there is a great chance of earnings.

I still have a big Question in mind : Are there any effective ways to earn good money online? Of course there are! But how can we achieved it?

By the way, I came across with yola when I was reading questions in Yahoo! Answers. Someone is asking for the best website builder and Yola is the answer. So, here I am now exploring Yola. If I will like its services, I will stay here for good.

Foundations of a Happy Marriage

Don't expect your mate to read your mind. Be a willing, open communicator. Don't ever be afraid to share your feelings (especially the good ones)...

Keep romance alive. Love notes, flowers, candy, dating, cuddling, and any unexpected acts of kindness all go a long way toward keeping the romance in any relationship. Think of ways to show you are in love, and do them.

Have a sense of humor. And have fun. Remember the things you like to do together, find some more, and then do them. Laughing and having a good time together is one of the best ways to stay happy and fulfilled.

Have an adjustable attitude. Attitude works wonders on bad days. Whether it's seeing the humor in a situation, making a change, or accepting something, attitude is one of the greatest forces in life. Always remember that you can control yours.

Love each other unconditionally and always. Love others. Love nature. Appreciate the little things; stop to enjoy a sunset or the smell of a flower. Look for the happiness and the good in life, and your life will be happy and good, too.

Immigration

Immigration is no joke. It is a major decision that involves all aspect of your life. People who are planning to permanently settle in a foreign land must put importance into having all their papers and requirements processed the legal way.

If you are working and living abroad without the proper documents, you are putting your reputation and future at risk. Peace of mind will definitely be elusive when instead of adjusting to your new environment or concentrating on your job, you are playing hide and seek with the authorities.

Many people who are discouraged by the tedious requirements and procedures one has to go through at the embassy. This is the reason why many bravely dare to enter a foreign territory with an illegal status. Even though some people managed to emerge victorious by eventually being granted legal status, aspiring migrants must not look at this a source of inspiration.

In USA, illegal immigration is a serious issue where the rules are strictly implemented. Moreover, if you are an illegal alien, you and your family will be denied many benefits.

For one, finding a decent and good paying a job will be a big burden. You will not be permitted to apply for an insurance. Your child will not be allowed to enroll in school.

People migrate overseas for a purpose, whether for economic, cultural, or educational reasons. Achieving those goals can be likened to a camel passing through the eyes of a needle if you are an illegal alien. Spare yourself of the emotional and physical trauma of illegal migration by going through the legal process.

Healthy Summer Travel

If you would like to travel out, Summer is definitely not the time of the year for travel. When traveling make sure your auto air conditioning compressor enables reasonable air temperature to be achieve inside the car. It creates a healthier environment in the car for everyone, particularly for those who suffer from asthma, allergies or related health problems.

Whenever I go travel in the summer I do used high quality car AC Compressor and other AC parts. You too can now purchase and install the same high quality parts like Volkswagen ac compressor
