Christmas is Upon Us!
It's Christmas time again. Such a wonderful time of year for sharing with family, friends, and even strangers. It is also the most stressful thinking about your Christmas "to do" and "to buy" list. If you are interested in earning a living online, I found a video for those of us who need to start at the beginning. Check this out, so that you can begin preparing for your new life as an internet entrepreneur!

The Hottest Selling Books This Summer
I can't think of a better list to start off with in 2010 than my choice for the top 10 fastest (and hottest) selling books of the summer! Depending on what part of the planet you're on, these books appear on most bestsellers' lists. With all those vacation weeks piling up, now's the time to grab a few good books to enjoy by the beach or laying in the hammock at the cottage (or in your backyard if you're "staycationing")!

Getting Through a Job Loss
Ok...it's a little off-topic for me, but what the heck. I'm sure alot of people are experiencing a job loss right now or knows someone who is. What can you expect? What to do now?
Take some time to adjust to your new found freedom (I mean that in a nice way!). Let family and friends know, say your goodbyes, make sure you get the best package you can and then start to move on.
Easier said than done. If it's been many years since you've put a resume out there, you have some work to do. The first thing you need to do though is evaluate where you are. Have you considered other options to full-time work? Maybe you want to start your own business or work from home. Maybe part-time work would change you into that happy-go-lucky person you always knew you could be. Do a real self-assessment of your feelings about work and especially the type of work you want to do next. Think about your long-term goals. Consider everything when you are contemplating your next step.
The second thing you need to think about is your financial situation. Can your budget support 6 months worth of "down" time, or perhaps 4 months? This will give you an idea of how much time you have to play with.
In preparing for that next job search, there are several items you need to take care of. List all your skills and strengths, job experiences, try to understand what you liked and didn't like about your last job (or any of your jobs for that matter). Now you can develop a plan and go forward.
You'll need to write your resume, find some good references, and practice your cover letters or phone conversations. Network big time with anyone you think might be able to help in your job search. Look for those you trust and admire, and don't forget to enlist the support of your family and friends. If you need to organize, do that now, and learn to manage your time so that you can be productive both at home and in your job search. Research companies you think you might like to work for, especially those to whom you are applying or responding to.
Employment agencies can be a big help in your job search. Often, you may find that they can help with your resume and letter writing, offer job search tips and tools, and generally steer you in the right direction. Just be sure to be honest about what you're looking for so that you don't waste your time or the agency's, arranging interviews you have really don't want.
Finally, don't forget to eat healthy, get proper sleep, and take time out for excercise and play. And send out thank-you letters when appropriate. A good impression is your best bet to finding the job that's right for you.....perhaps next post we can talk more about starting your own business! Good luck!

Paid Surveys
There's a lot of talk on the net right now about paid survey sites. Many of these sites are free to join, but the big money ones seem to charge a one-time fee for access to their survey database. I have no experience with the paid ones, but I'm trying to join as many of the free ones as possible and see which ones I appreciate most.
One site I've come across is A.W. Surveys. Membership is free, however, if you choose to be paid by paypal or alertpay, there is a $25.00 expedited service charge that is taken from your account with A.W. Surveys. I haven't yet reached the (assumed?) $75.00 payout, so I can't tell you exactly how that will work. If you choose to have your payment mailed to you, it will take 4-6 weeks but you will not be charged.
When you join, the site offers a $6.00 welcome survey, and subsequent surveys I've done pay $4.00 to review a couple of websites. The site also has monthly cash bonus prizes of $500.00. In addition, you are paid $1.25 for each friend you refer to their website.
I really like the site because it's easy to navigate my experience so far has been pleasant. If you'd like to join for free and receive your initial $6.00 welcome survey, hurry over to $6.00 Welcome Survey After Free Registration!.
I think you'll be pleased!
