global warming

Hi guys
Once again my brain has been working overtime. Looking at every nook and cranny to earn more and save more. Call me paranoid, actually I don't think so, but this past summer a lot of money went down the tubes in the United States just in air conditioning bills. Trying to stay cool and in some cases stay alive. The lower 48 states is going through the hottest weather ever, even beating out the dust bowl era. I think the chances of some repeat performances in the coming years is likely. What should we do about it? I'm shopping. As we grow closer to fall the summer clothes are going to be on clearance. Already I'm finding deals on everything from shoes to t-shirts and skirts to swimsuits. I'm going to be prepared and spend as little as possible. Ebay is my "go to" place to shop. Dirt price fashions and free shipping! That's the way I like it.

Saving money realisticly

Hi everybody! I've been thinking overtime lately and ran into something that could potentially save big bucks in the end. Not collecting coupons. Not by buying energy saving appliances, etc. It was outrageous. It was building solar panels yourself to save on energy bills and maybe selling back electricity to the power company.
I won't be building solar panels anytime soon but I do know the companies that have meters attached to our homes do notice when they aren't getting their "fair share" of our monthly income. I know this because my neighbor installed a heat capturing insert in her fireplace a few years ago. She is a singe women that was raising her young son all by herself. She needed as much money as she could get! So she gathered all the friends and family she could and shopped for free wood on craigslist etc. Using a pneumatic wood splitter and a chain saw she stored up enough wood to carry her for at least 3 months.
When the cold weather came the gas company sent her a letter saying her meter was getting old and would be replaced soon. The following month the gas company said they would like to enter her home to evaluate her energy consumption! She was in essence "not paying enough to them", but they wouldn't admit to that! She said no.
So it is evident that there are ways to save a ton of money on your utility bills. However, using the method my neighbor did has it's drawbacks as well. She must continue using a fan to disburse the heat and there is more work involved around the fireplace. Ash. More ash than most would care for collects in her living room. I hate vacuuming. I would prefer not to haul wood, clean up after it or deal with the orchestration around it, but it does work.
All of us here are looking for the same things; making money any way we can and saving any way we can. Most of us are down right cheep! And some of us are willing to do almost anything to keep our hard earned dollars in our pocket. So here's one of the most level headed ideas I've heard so far. So I'm including it here.

Earn actual money online

By now I suppose you're wondering what I do to make money. Well I can't explain it in a post. In fact there is so much about the subject I would have to start another blog. So I got to thinking (dangerous) why not? You can avoid so much of the hype and lies by affiliate marketing you don't have to waist any time trying to find something that can pay the bills tomorrow. After all you probably figured out by now you actually have to have a few skills to earn while sitting in the comfort of your home.
I now have a set up to be online from almost everywhere I go. I can't in Jamaica and Mexico is iffy, but I think if given time they'll think of a way to hook up a laptop directly to a satellite. Wifi Hotspots are now available for cellphones and my luck has given me a tower that serves my phone 4 miles away when I'm up at the summer place. In fact that's where I am right now. When I'm up here I spend maybe 6 hrs online. Next time I'll share with you the blog that will help you through it!

Is JSS tripler a scam?

Hi everyone. I hope you are having a lovely summer. I'm taking a couple of days off and came up north for the relaxation. It's beautiful this time of year in Minnesota. This gave me a few minutes to slow down. The latest "money maker" on my radar is JSS tripler. It's advertising campain is driving me nuts as they are marketing everywhere. I'm not going to say one way or the other about this site but, everything it says to advertise makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up! It says to me-Suckers join here. Why? They promise 300% return on investment. They tell about some "rookie internet marketer" who now makes big money and will show you how as well. It has "testimony" from some person who can start work on building a dream home in France! Over the years I've looked and sometimes joined so many programs like this I can tell you the promises are truly out of this world! Except the part about you buying $10 positions, it's bogus. Unless you can tell me otherwise I'm not going to give it another thought.

Earning real online money and Lady Luck

We are all aware of just who Lady Luck is. Heck Frank Sanatra had a whole song about her. Unfortunately Lady Luck doesn't come around often enough to call her dependable. So those who are desperate enough to take risk, hoping luck is on their side, will end up taking too much risk. Talent, dedication and the ability to anticipate change goes a lot further. I know, because I've been desperate. Finding income in time of crisis is next to impossible.
Everyone has a plan A-going to work every day, either commuting to and from their brick and mortar employer, or earning from home. Those who have a plan B and C are ahead of crisis, those who are actually working with plan B are creating their own stability. One guy I know of created his own business on the side, so when his company "downsized" he invested in himself immediately. He expanded his store on Ebay and opened his own website. Today, three years later he employs more people so he can spend casual time with his wife and three children!
Sounds like a pain in the neck but it keeps the roof over your head. Luck had nothing to do with it. Hard work and determination made him a success!

Unproductive money earning sites

I have been asked why I spend time on sites that only pays you a penny or less per click. This is the top most question. People find these sites a waste of their time and complain they aren't making enough. The bottom line is: If this is your attitude from the beginning you never will make any money online!
So my answer to this question is a surprise! Today I make over $1000 per month! I started with clixsense and neobux. I still go into these sites practically daily. I often am the first one up in the morning. So here I am starting at 5:15 clicking away.
My brain isn't working fast enough before 8am to do any actual work! But I don't  want to waste my time either. Laugh if you must but I've made 4 cents today without finishing my first cup of coffee! I think it's fun as well. I do nothing unless I find it fun to do!
When you think you're defeated from the beginning you will be defeated. If you're looking to make money with little effort, that too isn't going to get you anywhere either. You must invest both time and money in yourself. Learn everything you can online. Keep a calendar and  a to-do list.
I have a very long bookmark list so once a month I go in and do some house keeping. I'm either reminding myself of websites I need to go in to or the ones I have checked out and decided not to act on! So far I've been ripped off about $50. Not bad for the average online earner!
I personally have spent time doing this since 2009. I will continue to stay the course. I will continue to look for ways to become better at what I do. That's it! That's my plan

mylot dependability

Everyone knows I was shocked a few days ago when I couldn't find mylot. Within hours my faithful buddies let me know mylot was upgrading their systems and they where relocating their offices all at the same time! Oops!
Sure enough, mylot was available once again that day!
I was shocked simply because Mylot is so dependable. I often find myself in mylot at 3am. If I'm awake and no one else is, mylot is willing to talk to me! So the world is still on it's access and everything is right again.

mylot disappeared

I've been writing in mylot for over a year now, yet today it disappeared. I can't find it! Every try from every direction gives me a screen that says run time error! This has been ongoing for over 5 hours! Does this mean I'm blocked from using mylot so they don't have to give me a reason? What gives?

NeoBux Ad Prize and money

Yes today NeoBux gave me 50 cents for doing nothing more than clicking their Add Prize advertisements. This makes my new earnings total to 87 cents since the 9th of April. I'm not getting too excited about it however. The terms, earning money and getting paid are not the same as getting money in the bank. Good marketers use the words earn and paid far too easily. Also, actually knowing you get cash takes time. I've made a few people angry with me just by defining these words.
It doesn't mean a site is a scam, it merely says when you make a certain amount of earnings it will be turned into cash you can actually see, feel and touch.
So, now I've averaged about 5 cents a day, much like Clixsense. However, I've been faithfully clicking away on anything they give me to get the maximum amount they might pay me when that time comes.
Assuming I would make 5 cents a day, my math says I'll have to stay with the site for 200 days, or a little more than 6 months.
Many complain that this is not enough money to be worth their time. But as I've said before why would someone waste their time complaining if they are making more money elsewhere. I personally won't stop my activity until something else comes along that fits my earning expectations better.

NeoBux earnings

I just added up my earnings of NeoBux since rejoining them on April 9, 2012. I have earned 35 cents from NeoBux. I also added up my earning with ClixSense only during the time I've been working for NeoBux. I earned $1.18 since April 9th.
While NeoBux may not be a scam, I've been clicking a lot more in Neobux than I do in ClixSense! This is a great demonstration of why some people may call "Scam" when it really is not a scam at all! I see people do this all the time. While it may be time consuming and produces very little in cash, they are not out to scam you. They are looking primarily for your referrals.
This conclusion came from treating both the same, no referrals and working both during the days I have access to the internet. I don't have any time limit I will be in on either. If I'm clicking on one I'm clicking on both.
Is it a waste of time? Depends on how much time you have and your expectations of any site.
I recommend sticking it out until you've found another way of online earning worth a lot more. People complain they don't make enough from specific sites, however does this mean they have another way of earning? I don't think so, or they wouldn't be spending (and wasting) their time complaining about it and busy only what makes money for them!

NeoBux 14 days after joining

Yes, I've been working away at Mylot. You already know I will not place the label of  "scam" on any site online until I've been scammed myself! So far I've lost $45 since starting this site. Whether Mylot is a scam or not isn't known. I can tell you it will probably take a long time to figure that out.
I joined Neobux on the 9th of April. Today I have made 31 cents but that is spread over 14 days! I've made 2 cents a day. Granted I've taken about 4 days off with limited internet access. So I didn't work Neo bux every day. My math tells me I've made 3 cents a day when counting only the 10 actual days I've worked.
Please take into account my personal goals before making a decision on this one! I've spent no money. I've supplied no direct referrals and won't buy any rented referrals. This limits my ability to make more money on a daily basis.
Yes this is my base line for all sites, looking for a site you can join without spending any money or any knowledge. On one hand I will make very little money but, on the other it is a good demonstration of how difficult it is to make money without some kind of online presence. NeoBux tends to work best for those with a following of referrals, a lot of referrals. 3 cents may not seem to be enough money to be worth your time, but for me when I'm awake and no one else is, early in the morning, it's an easy activity. It requires little thought process. That is, 3 cents for a couple of clicks.
Again, don't take just my experience as a complete review of your own! If you have enough people following you and you want to give it a try, by all means, go ahead. What do you have to loose?

NeoBux progress report

I must warn you this opportunity doesn't bring in a lot of money. On the other hand it doesn't require much effort, talent,and no cash investment. Without work, knowledge or investment risk you won't see much in return.

After starting my activity with NeoBux since joining 4/9/12 I've gathered enough information to be of interest to you! In short; I've earned 18.6 cents so far. Remember, I miss days do to other activities. I've missed 4 days total so far. So in 5 days, to be fair Ive made 18.6 cents! So I've made just under 4 cents each day of activity.

On the other hand, if you want to compare NeoBux to Clixsense it has taken longer to make money on NeoBux. I'd say I make double, roughly double that amount over at Clixsense. If you're looking for something that makes more money than Clixsense, I'd look elsewhere.

Will I quit? Not anytime soon! There's something to be said about getting up at 3am and having some little, quiet thing to do. Night Owls would like the site a lot.
Another small drawback is the lack of a tool bar. At least I am not aware of one. I enjoy getting a "heads up" from a money earning site that I can earn money now.

So, in short it's not a scam. I've never made much from them but that doesn't make them a scam.

cashubux.com a scam

Here's a new scenario for you, and me I might add. cashubux is now advertising their "new" website. So I started doing some research. It still should have some listings in the search engines about the site. People should be talking about it, good, bad or otherwise. If you know something about this site or if you're a member please enlighten us!

On line earning

I've been asked once again about the very small income from places like clixsense, mylot, etc. I hear it's not enough money to justify the time spent earning it. Well guess what? That will never change in the eyes of people who want to earn online doing relatively zero work! Building a business online or other wise has the same drawbacks and assets as doing anything. When you start college you don't go directly to the last year of school! When you start a business you don't go directly to the income faze. When you graduate from college you don't become an instant CEO!
Sorry to be the one to tell you, but building anything starts with a foundation. You can't do business in a foundation anymore than you can live in the foundation of a house! You need plumbing, electrical access, and more than anything else you need a roof!
So you start with the foundation. Believe it or not it is simple sites that glean very little money. But I ask you, how much do you need to know about running a business by interacting in these simple sites? Nothing. You need to work. Learn from others what they do to earn if they are willing to share free of charge! Become familiar with business terminology, book keeping, taxes, logical business start ups and that's only a few of the requirements to build the building!
Just because you know it can be done doesn't mean you can do it! There are plenty of people making more than just a living online. That doesn't mean it's easy at all! So here are the steps I went through to earn money online:
1. My foundation included anything that made any amount of money that required little knowledge and ease of use. To this day clixsense and mylot are fun sites for me. On April 15th I will see $10 from clixsense. Not enough you say? Well that money goes straight to my business. That's $10 more than I had to invest in myself! And I had fun doing it!
2. While completing my foundation I researched and researched and then researched some more. After a few start ups and stops and failures I came to the conclusion I could consider myself a serial failure or turn around and look at everything I learned. That knowledge led me to realize successful people are serial failures, successful people know what they can do, successful people don't spend a lot of time saying "I don't like doing that", successful people are constantly looking for better ways of doing things! And then came my first real business, combining my love for talking to people and providing a product people like, sometimes have need for and want to come back for no other reason but to enjoy their experience!
3. Finishing and refining the way I do business by leaving the door open to new possibilities. All the time making and building income!
No matter what you do, online or offline, it takes work. Yes, most of the time you don't have a dress code, time clock, or the commute to your place of business. Sitting in your robe and slippers is not unusual. People will think you're just sitting at home waiting for their call to do them a favor, "because you're at home doing nothing". They'll think you are a "trust baby" because you do "nothing". If only they knew you are sometimes up till midnight working.
In reality you are filling in your spreadsheets "data bases", responding to email, and planing in your Daytimer. After all, how can you sleep if your business needs attention?
I'm not going to say I see millions in my future. I'm not going to tell you I will move to a more affluent neighborhood. I can tell you I love what I do! I'm going to be expanding. I will be handing out business cards and postcards like crazy. I will continuously research realistic ideas to enhance what I'm doing already. Whatever I do in the future I will have fun doing. No one will be asking me for last months spread sheets or productivity records. There will be no office politics, and no one at the top of the food chain changing my processes in the way I do business.
I am responsible only to Uncle Sam and my family!

How to spot a scam

Spotting scams is a difficult thing to do even when you've been identifying them for years!
I just ran into another one of those "This is a scam, mine is not. Go to this website, my web site!
Let me explain: This is for those of us who research a website we find. We go looking for other peoples reviews of that website. We see one that says it's a scam so we open it to find out why. It will usually say only that what you're researching is a scam and that you should go to another site that is not a scam. Sorry but this is a no sell for me! Even though  it might not be a scam, I would not do business with anyone who advertises like that!
Remember when junk mail came in an unmarked envelopes that had a red stripe across the front? I opened these just so I would know who not to give my business too!

Candle making

Candle making takes patients. Of course the first thing I did was research the art of candle making. I would really like to make them with either renewable or reusable resources. I've read a lot about candle making and I love some of the products I found. Bees wax is a renewable resource but my favorite so far is paraffin! Yes it is a petroleum product but it is a by product of refining petroleum. After making crude oil into fuel and oil for our machinery the only thing left is this glob of stuff that is unusable to sell the world to make energy and keep our machinery operating properly. So what do they do with this stuff? Nothing. Paraffin just sits there, like tin or anything else that can't be turned into a reusable resource. So what can you do with it? Use it and hopefully deplete the product from the earths surface. I decided to exclusively use paraffin in the beginning at least. I'll use glass, not plastic containers but one thing I cannot mess with is the wick! It has to be the highest quality to burn correctly. I want candles people can depend on.
One of the really cool things about candle making is how you insert the wicks! You use the barrel of an old, broken, or used up old fashioned barrel pen. You insert the wick inside the barrel to keep it straight and slowly pull the barrel while filling the container with material!
So my candle making will be performed by recycle and reuse. Talk about greener!

Retirement income

My husband and I have a few years to go before we actually retire. In the mean time we are thinking of everything we can to make our retirement as enjoyable as possible. We know we are both very visual and enjoy a "hands on" experience rather than sitting in front of a computer. However having internet access is still a wonderful tool to communicate and keep track of our income and expenses. So while he polishes agates I pour candles and together we find these activities fun!
Because we run these enterprises and have fun doing it I know we have "overhead". Buying and replacing the material and tools to do this is pretty much all of our overhead. We spend about $100 a year in advertising looking for the most inexpensive ways to do it.
If nothing else, we have fun experimenting with ideas for our future. I don't know that we will need the income but we will have something fun to retire to. We know retirement is unpredictable. No one can agree on how much money we need to retire. Some are suggesting a million dollars may not be enough money to retire on. People have lost or have had their retirement savings or greatly reduced by the "Great Recession". Who's to say it won't happen again!
We know for sure we won't have a mortgage. We have other property to live in and is more fun than keeping a house we bought to raise our children in. We don't and will never have credit card debt. After the house is sold we will have only association dues and a couple hundred dollars in property taxes. At the most we will have a car loan.
We just know we won't be content just sitting around reading books and watching TV. We will have to do something to stay interested in life. We love making something from nothing, so we are researching more than anything else right now!

web site scams and reviews


It’s official! I’m getting enough traffic to my site that I am now getting hate mail! Apoximately 1% of the people viewing my site hates it! In the online world that only means one thing! People are interested in what I have to say! Positive or negative about what I say, people are reading the site!
I welcome all opinions and leave them on this site for your information. Leaving anything out would be nothing less than lying. Everything here is up to your own decision and experience! However I am concerned about one thing; making it clear what my intensions are in this site, so I am going to say again the value I place on each of the websites I review:
I’ve placed a value for each being:
1.  A full tilt scam, backed with the facts I used to judge that. Just because I say an online opportunity is a scam doesn’t necessarily mean it is! All opinions here come from someone in the human race. All I can say is my personal take on something or my own success or failure with an online opportunity. So with that said we go to:
2. Not sure which way an opportunity should be labeled. In these cases I haven’t even tried to join. I list the reasons why I didn’t just so you get the understanding how I based my decision not to try it out. I tell you what I learned and list the facts that supported my decision. Again, I may be right or I may be wrong. I welcome the input of any kind that either supports or disagrees with my decision which leads me to:
3. I make money from a website opportunity; I’ll tell you what it takes to be part of their program. I’ll tell you how much I earned. However, just because it works for me doesn’t guarantee it will work for you!
Why do I make so many disclaimers you ask? I do this because I’m the mother of three grown boys. If anyone will make a liar out of you, it’s your children! I don’t know how many times my oldest told me I was wrong and backed it up with facts! By the way he got that from me. I always told my children if you know for a fact you are right, back it up with facts. I also told my children not to give me half stories. Half stories are so close to lying they might as well be a lie. But more importantly giving me a problem to solve with only half truths gives me nothing to stand on!
I hope this clarifies what I’m trying to do here. It’s up to you to use your own judgement.

Running a business online

I've written a column in Expertscolumn.com. Now if anyone asks me anything about starting up a business online I can point them to my column and hopefully give them enough detail to make a good decision. I've always had a tough time telling people I can't answer their question in a matter of even a day. It's certainly too comprehensive to include here so I thought I'd show you where the column is and hopefully it will help you too! All you have to do is google the words-or you can go to Expertscolumn.com and put the words in the search box on the upper right!

So you want to be an Online Business Owner

Choosing the business you want to own


Running a business either online or off is pretty much the same just without the overhead. Once you’ve done enough research to learn the IRS, and both State and Federal laws don’t care whether you have a brick and mortar business or work out of your house you are ready for the next step; do you really have what it takes to run one.
I’ve spoke to enough people about starting an online business to know many just don’t have what it takes to do it. Sorry but the first red lights that usually go up are the people who throw up their own road blocks. They listen to their friends and neighbors and believe there are too many draw backs to even start looking for opportunity. I would never depend on my friends for advice. It’s like going to your priest for legal advice!
Secondly I hear people say “The IRS doesn’t have anything about running your own business”. Or, “I need a school that will teach me how to run my own business”. Or they will ask, “Can you teach me how to run my own business”.
Anyone running their own business, except for a family owned business, or start working for a company, saving up the money and buying the business, does not ask anyone how to do this! Business owners look for their own answers, go to the right people to ask questions, but they never go to another person who runs a similar business and ask them how they do it! Business owners are far too busy running their own business to spend any time telling others how they do it.
People tend to throw up their own nonexistent road blocks. Once I hear someone doing this it doesn’t pay to waste my breath telling them how. There are never road blocks, only hurtles in business ownership. People are rarely held back for long by a hurtle if they’ve taken on the challenge to do anything they have a passion for.
A perfect example of this is online hackers. They love the road blocks set up to stop unauthorized access to, well, anything you can think of. Hackers love the challenge. Successful business’ look at hackers as people who do them the favor of showing where their weak points are and they in turn come up with safe guards against their weakness’.
No matter what business you run, on line or off, its not easy. If it were easy everyone would be running their own business. So every time you see an advertisement on an infomercial, online or on a telephone pole about the “Perfect business that’s easy and will give you an income you can live on”, you’ve got to ask yourself is; Why are these people trying to bring people to them? If they are that good they wouldn’t have to try getting members?
Once you think you can overcome these challenges without the help of others you will be well on your way to finding the right at home business that fits you.

Home staging to sell!

With the real estate market becoming so unstable it's schizophrenic over the last few years everyone is scared to death of their future in their home. Frankly, I've become very aware of the possibilities with my own home and so has my husband.
We've become faithful watchers of HGTV. We have learned a lot; If you're going to paint your walls, do it in a neutral color. Think of your home as a blank canvass that can become whatever a buyer in the future may want. I know it sounds boring but the rule is: if you're going to add color and show off your personality, do it with decorating! Even then I'm thinking in terms of a future buyer! My home will be staged.
Trying to find someone who stages homes is hard to find. So thrift shops and dollar stores see me frequently looking for ideas. We have no family pictures on the walls. $1 photo books at the dollar store that accommodates 4X6 pictures are very useful. College students love jean pillows in their living space. If you sow look for jeans, flannel and fleece at the thrift shop. Stuff the pillows made from $2 jeans with the flannel etc. Cheap, fluffy fabric makes an excellent substitute for batting.
Go to both types of stores with a plan of action! Coming home with a little of this and a little of that is counter productive.
Be organized. Start a website with a blog. Show before and after pictures. Advertise. Do not be afraid of the customer who asks you to stage a house. The picky customer must also have a plan of action. What do they like? What do they not like? Have them provide pictures for you as a reference. It's amazing the number of picky people who really don't have a clue of what they really like! They sometimes aren't picky at all, they just don't have an idea of what they like. Without a destination you can't plan a path there!

For instance, I love maroon. So the table cloth, vases, bathroom towels, quilts and even the candle sticks are chosen for the destination and path. Any color that compliments maroon will work too. With a neutral background my favorite color will stand out, creating my personality!
I found a pair of old, not antique, wooden candle sticks. $2 for the candle sticks and one can of maroon spray paint later I had a $20 pair of maroon candlesticks. The list goes on!
True, you have to have a work space and you have to have storage space. But for many this would work out fantastically. Next comes links and talking with people. I'd approach Habitat For Humanity and real estate companies.

MDA hire's people to cold call for donations

The MDA, or the Muscular Dystrophy Association does hire people to work for them! Did you know this? Well I didn't! On the surface this sounds wonderful! Just think; to have the chance to do what you love for people who need the help! But this is how they recruit people to work for two to three weeks and maybe more!
They begin by utilizing staffing agencies. They schedule a day to bring in 40 people from all the staffing agenciess and perform two group "interviews". I was part of one of these interviews. This is what happened:


Jack led the group interview. He began by telling us a little about the job and how the fund raiser worked. Jack had us do several “exercises”; The first one was for us to tell him a little about ourselves. The second exercise was to write a script es based on what he just told us about the job we would be doing, if hired. Then he mentioned that some people had received a copy of their cold calling script already but wanted us to read our script.
The guy sitting to the left of me had worked there 2 years before so he was skipped from reading his. Four or five other people read their script that was 3 sentences long and their third sentence was a closing sentence.
Lots of different staffing agencies sent people to this “interview” and I’m wondering if of those people somehow knew what the requirements would be before they got there!
Jack told my staffing company I would be “near the top” of the next hiring interview. They know I would already know what the requirements are and if a staffing agency would have handed me the script,  of course I’d have plenty of time to come up with a script that closes in the third sentence and the MD Association knows this. I’ve done this before for a company I already work for. I would have a script written before I got there.
If anyone was hired from my staffing agency they were either “blind sided” like I was or already somehow knew the requirements to pass their “test”. I think their motivation of having a group interview is to glean the very few that can “hit the ground running”! So both the staffing company's time and my time and transportation were wasted.
Do I think I would pass their "test"? Yes. Do I think I'll get hired or even asked back to another group interview? Probably not. More importantly, would I want to go back? This doesn't do a lot for the association's good name!

Free Ad Car web site is gone.

This is the final time I will talk about this site. I've lost my $40. This guinea pig found the truth though! Looking up the site recently it has been closed! In it's place is a notice that the program will soon be part of Register.com. So I researched Register.com. Every listing in the search engines say one thing-scam. Don't list your own web site in it and don't believe any of the sites listed in Register.com. There are plenty of testimonials that tell about people's bad experience with Register.com. Lost money trying to register their site is the main complaint!
Your hopes of driving a free, new car around your city are up in smoke! Don't fall for either program. It cost me $40 to bring you this information! I certainly hopes it stops people from loosing their own money! Then I'll have done my job.

Workfromhomescams.net

Workfromhomescams.net is a new one to me! I've never seen it before. The site says it is written by a guy named Mike Taylor. As anyone of you know, at least my long time readers, I am a skeptic about any online opportunities to work from home. I've been known to "bookmark" a site and watch it, sometimes for over a year to verify, as much as possible, it's validity.
That's not the fault of the site but because 99 percent of the work at home opportunities are not real. So I did some research. But before I get into that I'll tell you why a couple of things put up yellow flags to me right away!
A lot of what "he" says in the beginning mirrors my own experience over the last three years. But then the big mistake comes from the recommendations made on the landing page (first page). They are considered the "best" and the "second best". Both recommendations supposedly starts paying you the next day, after reading all the information. Both supposedly pay up to $310 a day!
Need I say more? But there is more.
The only thing that tells me about this person is a few words on the landing page. I'm supposed to believe this is a real person. The other thing that bugs me is the name of the sight is "Work From Home Scams", not "The best work at home online sites".
Then I did a search for "Mike Taylor", In my address bar I put in- "Who is Mike Taylor". According to both Google and Bing he is anything but an internet scam reporter. He is any number of sports stars or politician.
All of this is enough for me to ignore this sight in it's entirety.
"He" doesn't have a blog in it, or a picture, or even a way to talk to him in the site. So, if he's so busy earning money with these two sites how does "he" have time to manage this web site? I can only conclude that this is a site to lure people in, in hopes to make money from home. Caution is the word of the day for this one!

Free Ad Car web site no longer exists!

They now say they will be available on Register.com. So I do not see my money returned, or anyone to contact to get it back! Save your $40. You will never be able to get a free car to drive, with or without advertising.
The good news about this is I knew I may never see my $40 again and I was willing to be a "guinea pig" to find out. There was nothing out there to speak of telling us both good and bad about this company. So this is my in depth review. I'm not going to waste any more time on this site. I wonder what register.com is about? I'm about to find out. (I know, I'm a gluten for punishment)!
