Making Money With Spreadshirt

What is Spreadshirt?
Spreadshirt is a company that allows you to open your own T-shirt company and store online that you set your own prices, with many extra features that can allow people buying your shirts to customize them or add to them if you’d like. The best part about Spreadshirt is that you don’t have to deal with anything other than designing the items and finding buyers, as they take care of creating the shirts and shipping them.

Do you recommend Spreadshirt?
If you are good at creating designs and want to sell your designs on clothing with a company that will pay you commissions for every item sold and they even do some marketing for new stores then I would definitely recommend them. I have personally made about $20 with this company, however I did not spend a whole lot of time promoting my store, nor did I have any really popular designs. If you are a great designer and can market your store well, then Spreadshirt would be perfect for you.

How does Spreadshirt work?
You create the design, upload it, select the shirts you want the designs on along with pricing and Spreadshirt does the rest by setting up your online store with your designs.

How much money can I make with Spreadshirt?
If you can market your Spreadshirt store well the income potential is unlimited as you price the shirts according to however much you believe they should sell for. If you have great designs and are unsure of how to properly market your store, I will help you place your site well and get you set up with your own domain name such as www.yourstore.com, just let me know.

How can I get started?
If you’d like to get started today sign up for Spreadshirt.

As You Think by Marc Allen

asyouthink-739958I have always enjoyed reading books based on the power of thought. I’ve found that many discuss the same topics, but none break it down as flawlessly as James Allen (This is actually a revised and updated version of As a Man Thinketh by James Allen). I feel that when I’m feeling down in any given situation and looking for enlightenment that this is the book to brighten my day and help me understand how important it is to stay positive as it directly effects the way we, as human beings, live our lives.

Although this book is under 100 pages and only 7 chapters long, it covers the fundamentals of how important and beneficial it is to stay positive. Every chapter begins with an opening poem/excerpt that more or less summarizes the chapter. According to James that by understanding the poem you have grasped the essence of the chapter.

I would highly recommend buying this book as it is one of those books that you can go back to when you’re feeling down to lift your spirits when you’re on the go. You can also find a full copy of the original non-revised or updated copy that has been published online (As A Man Thinketh by James Allen).

Sprint Palm Centro Review

I have owned 2 Centros over the past 2 years. I love the phone, but both times the phone was effected by water damage due to the syncing port being permanently uncovered. At first site the Centro looks like the keys are way too small to actually type on, but you get used to it fairly quickly. One of my favorite parts about the phone other than the touchscreen was the ability to put it on vibrate mode with a toggle switch on the top (very convenient). The phone has a very loud speaker built in that almost doubles in loudness opposed to an iPhone, which is very impressive and the quality is very good for the size of the speaker.

The only difficulty with the phone I had when buying it was figuring out how to play MP3’s as ringtones. I found that you actually had to buy a MicroSD chip and install a program called MiniTunes. Took a bit of research, but was fairly easy to do once the program was installed and MP3’s were transfered to the MicroSD.

I’m not quite sure if I’d recommend buying a Centro unless you get a very good deal for it as the water damage problem is common and makes it impossible to retrieve lost numbers and information on the phone, which is very frustrating when you use your phone as a portable calendar and an event planner.

Oh and a warning to those of you who are thinking about a warranty for your phone: They replace your phone with a refurbished one. Every replacement Centro that my family and I have received have had buttons that stick out akwardly. It’s like they take them apart to “refurbish” them and the buttons never fit correctly again.

Pros: qwerty keyboard, loud speaker, touch screen, speaker quality
Cons: easily water damaged

Making Money With Google AdSense

What is Google Adsense?
Google AdSense is a great way to generate income online if you have any experience with making a website (or a friend who could help you get started). What it does is place advertisements unique to your website and whenever someone clicks on that advertisement you get paid. With this site I am personally paid anywhere from $.10 to $1.20 per click on a majority of the advertisements on this site.

Do you recommend Google AdSense?
I would defintely recommend Google AdSense, as is it one of my personal favorites. I’ve been using Google AdSense for the past couple of years or so. One of my best experiences with AdSense was when I created a blog in November 2007 called bartendernick.com with a blog and forums to help explain bartending school a little better to those that were interested in doing the same. Within a month of making the site I received a check from Google of $209.32 and a month later $138.70 with just one website. Imagine if I had started 10 blog sites that’d be $2093.20 for my first check from Google. I didn’t really think about this so much until recently, which is why I decided to create this site. Although I haven’t flooded this site with advertisements, there is a little box on the right with Google AdSense that is somewhat profitable for me, but not intrusive.

How does Google AdSense work?
If you have a website already created you can just add an advertisement block to it with a code provided by google. You receive anywhere from a penny per click on the advertisement to a couple of dollars and even more in some cases for high paying keywords (of which I have no idea, but I do remember a time where people were getting $30-50 per click). I would highly recommend Google AdSense if you currenly have a website or intend on having one in the future.

How much money can I make with Google AdSense?
It really all depends on how much time you put into developing websites and creating your own personalized niches. It depends completely on how much traffic your site generates and how many people are clicking your advertisements. If you have 1,000 visitors per day and 10% click your link (100 clicks) and your links on average make you $.50 per click you’d make around $50 a day. Mind you the bartending site that I created made $209.32 with only about 300 clicks (about $.69/click), so this is a very modest estimate.

How can I get started?
If you already have a website that gets regular vistors you can go to adsense.google.com and sign up to get your own personalized code to place on your site.

If you do not have a website, the know how to create your own or you are just a flat-out lazy web developer. I would recommend Hyper VRE, as it will create a website for you and help you generate traffic without all of the headaches of conventional traffic generation in order to get visitors to your site (It’s more or less of an AdSense autopilot).

Making Money With Live Jasmin

What is LiveJasmin?
LiveJasmin is a company that pays you to work as a webcam “performer” or cam-model. They do so by charging members of the site anywhere from $2-4 dollars a minute to have a “private” session with the cam model. Mind you that you set your own limits as far as what you will do on camera, however the more things you are willing to do behind the camera the greater your chances in making good money.

Do you recommend LiveJasmin?
I would definitely recommend LiveJasmin as I have used them in the past in the “Making Friends” section and have made over $400 doing so in a matter of about a month. I’m going to let you in on a secret though, the people who spend the money really want to make sure that all of it goes to you rather than distributed through LiveJasmin, so a lot of people who are paying members on the site will personally send you money if they really like you. I found the best ways to accept money is through PayPal and Western Union.

How does LiveJasmin work?
All you really have to do is hang out on your computer, be friendly to the guests and if they really like you and want to help you out they will talk to you in private and you can make around $1.40 per minute.

How much money can I make with LiveJasmin?
Depends entirely on how much time you are willing to spend behind your camera. A rule of thumb is that if you spend about an hour on the site you’ll get at least 10 minutes of private time, which would amount to about $14.00 an hour as a minimum. If you get lucky you could develop a fan club and sign on once a week so that 5 or 10 people could private you at once which even for 10 minutes that would be $70-140 an hour. Mind you if you were to stay on for 8 hours, you would could make anywhere from $80-$800 per day.

How can I get started?
Since you can only sign up by referal, I am personally refering you. You can sign up for livejasmin here.

If you are not interested in being a cam-model, but know others who would want to join you can make a percentage of their income, all you have to do is sign up here, contact me and I’ll show you exactly how to get started.

Becoming An Air Traffic Controller

I was actually fully unaware of the opportunity that the FAA had provided the general public with; the ability to be an Air Traffic Controller with no prior aviation experience.

Late 2007 an Embry Riddle student told me that if I had 4 years of schooling, 4 years of work experience, or 4 years of combined work/school experience then I was qualified to sign up as an Air Traffic Controller Trainee.

I have always heard that Air Traffic Controllers are very well off as far as pay goes and retirement works out in their favor. I found the FAA application system (https://jobs.faa.gov/asap/) and signed up that day.

It took about 3 months until I received a letter in the mail stating that I had to take the AT-SAT on January 1st of 2008 in Peach Tree City, Georgia. I made sure not to have too much fun on New Years and made the drive to GA early in the morning to take the test, of which was fairly simple if you have any experience with basic math and pointing a mouse. A couple of weeks later I received the test results online and they were well above what I needed as a qualification.

The next step was to schedule an interview. While I was waiting for the interview I decided to go to school at Florida Community College for Aviation Operations to become certified.

Just as I was finishing my first classes; Environment for ATC and Aviation Weather, I was interviewed in December of 2008. The interview went well, and the interviewer was very pleased to meet me and understand why I chose the FAA.

Once the interview was complete I received a “Tentative Offer Letter” of a bunch of information that I had to fill out based on my background and medical release forms. I also had to schedule a Physical, Psychological Test and Drug Test. I haven’t received feedback of any other than the Psychological test. I was told that if the Psychological test (567 questions) was “invalid” I would have to personally speak with a psychologist to further analyze my answers.

Turns out I had to personally see a psychologist to verify my answers to questions and retake the complete psychological test. Everything else went fine and I was told that I need to wait for a specialist to contact me for employment.

It has been months and I have not heard from the FAA. I’m starting to wonder if they lost my information or if the position was filled. Anyway, I will keep you updated. Until then best of luck to any of you who are also pursuing an ATC career!

2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT v6 Review

Performance:
It gets the job done. It’s most definitely not a performance car, but you can certainly feel the torque in second gear around 3500rpms to 5500ish. It feels very solid on the road even over 100mph.

Build Quality:
Haven’t had any major problems with the car other than having to replace the AC and the Clutch around 60,000 miles. The timing belt snapped around 65,000 miles. The interior plastic pieces are peeling and showing major wear, even though it has all been cleaned regularly (maybe it’s the cleaner I’ve used in the past). As long as you take care of the Tib, it’ll take care of you.

Appearance:
The clearcoat on the spoiler, gas cap and rims has been weathered badly. I had a friend spray paint the rims and gas cap, which covered up the nasty peeling that the paint was doing. However, I don’t want a gunmetal spoiler and I’ve considered removing it, but then I’ll have to relocate the center brake light.

Cost of Ownership:
Everything so far has been covered by the 75,000 mile warranty aside from the clutch. I would recommend you go to a local repair shop for a clutch repair, as it cost me over $2,000 through the dealership since it was not under warranty and they claim it’s a special “dual plated” clutch or something along the lines.

Fun Factor:
The car handles very well and can pass effectively without downshifting or bouncing off the rev-limiter since it has low-range torque unlike other cars in it’s class. Not only is it fun to drive, the back seats fold down for plenty of storage space.

Pros: acceleration, handling, storage
Cons: dealership maintenance, back seat room

Bartending School Conclusion

The conclusion of this bar tending class is that I no longer had the funds to support driving to the class so I ended up applying anywhere I could. I just so happened to get a full time job, therefore I did not have time to go to the class, so I stopped going. I believe that the class may have taught me a thing or two, but definitely not enough to cover the cost of the class ($1,000).

However, if the job placement was real I believe I wouldn’t have had to look for a job in another field as I could train at a bar that the bar tending school would help place me in.

I have been offered a few bar tending positions about 45 minutes from my house, but I’m not quite sure I’d want to drive that far to work somewhere that doesn’t get too much business, plus the job that I have I get to work on the beach and only work 4 10-hour-days a week. Unless I can find a pool bar that will hire me, I think I’ll be satisfied with hourly pay for now.

If $1,000 sounds too much to pay for bartending school, I have a friend who told me that he had learned everything he needed at makemoneybartending.com. I had a look at it and it seems to go over every topic we went over in Hank Belden’s bartending school and more. As of right now it only costs $47, which is a small investment for all of the content provided.

Back To Class

I missed yesterdays class due to an interview. Todays class was no different than any other class. I went in, mixed some drinks, and left.
