Surveys and Jobs

I've been putting a little more time into earning income from surveys. I actually plan on taking it seriously this time because it does pay off and heck- why not earn a few hundred dollars per month for giving my opinion and trying free stuff! All it takes is a little time.

On another note I start a new job on Monday. I have to let one of my telecommuting jobs go because it's not paying the bills and I believe the slavery is illegal. So this one should do the trick. I am really excited about it.

Survey Money

I haven't forgotten about the Vonage story...it's just kind of long and I don't feel like typing it.
I am getting back into the GPT sites as a way to earn some extra money. I did it awhile ago but then for some reason I stopped. GPT means Get Paid To.

Basically there are sites that will pay you to take surveys and complete trial offers. It's free, no hype, no scams...the only thing is that it takes time to actually sit and do it. And some people don't like to take the time but I figure I can watch tv and take a few surveys at the same time.

Of course the internet marketer in me has made a website devoted to it. I'll share the link later.

Additional Streams of Income...

I am thinking about trying some alternative income sources.

I'll let you know what that means once I get situated.

Vonage, Vonage, Vonage

I haven't had the service for that long and they are already upsetting me.

Thursday my service was down for about 5 hours. Ok, it happens. Yes it messed up my work schedule but what can you expect from VOIP.

Monday my service is down again. This time I call tech support and they got to my call quickly but I wasn't satisfied with the level of service. Basically they tried to say it was my problem and not theirs which was a lie. I don't like being lied to. I will explain later what happened but just know that I will NOT be recommeding Vonage to anyone.

Looking Down?

I read this interesting thread on a message board about how someone was looked down on for being a telecommuter. She said she was talking to one of her former coworkers and the lady gave her some snippy response about not having a real job.

I wish I could say that's outrageous and unbelievable but I know it's not. This does not surprise me one bit because when people don't know about something they are only left to make assumptions. Assumptions without direct knowledge usually equals ignorance.

But wait...here's the good part of the story. So the snotty lady sends the telecommuter an IM and asks about what's going on with a soap opera. She responds with something like - I am sorry but I am at work but since you are already goofing out online you can look it up yourself.

I love it!
