Legit Online Jobs
Many people - unemployed, students, stay-at-home moms, etc. have all turned to the internet recently in hopes of finding employment opportunities online. Unfortunately, many of them are fake. I did some searching of my own and stumbled upon Legit Online Jobs. This is a highly successful program designed by Ross Williams that allows its users to post short text advertisements for companies. Users then submit the ads in different formats using various online media outlets. No experience is required, just a computer with an internet connection. Mr. Williams provides step-by-step video guides and images for the users of his program. This program is so effective and successful, Mr. Williams himself made $15,000 in just ONE MONTH! Even more impressive, he guarantees your success as well! Users don't need their own website or need to talk to anyone, sell anything, carry inventory, or work specific hours. Work your own schedule and at a pace convenient for you! The best part is, many companies that are contracted through his program pay YOU weekly! Payments can be made by check, direct deposit, or even by PayPal! He also throws in 4 bonuses: Real at Home Jobs (a work-at-home job database), Make Money Completing Surveys, Make Money on eBay, and personal 1-on-1 coaching! All for FREE! Plus, live help is available 24/7!! Be sure to enter your name and email address towards the top of the page in the form to receive special access to money-making information and another FREE BONUS! This is a legitimate work from home opportunity that should not be passed up!

I signed up for SocialSpark!
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
Hey Y'all!
Besides articles and article marketing, I was curious about other ways to earn some income online. I did a basic search on Google for ways to "monetize" my blog and came across many different websites. A lot of them had stringent requirements for how old the blog must be, how many posts the blog must already have on it, etc. However, SocialSpark did not have any of those requirements and users should find it relatively easy to sign up.
First, go to SocialSpark and click the link called "get started" under the "click here to create a blogger account". The "signup now!" form could not be any simpler or more straightforward. It is located on the right side of the page and asks the user to submit his or her desired username for the site, password, email address, and blog URL. Sign up for SocialSpark
Click "create account" and an email will be sent for verification of the account. Bloggers should click the link in the email to activate their profile. From there, they can sign in to SocialSpark and begin monetizing their blog! Upon logging into the site, users can click on the "opportunities" tab and can view opportunities to either place ads on their blog, write reviews on their blog, or drive traffic to advertiser's websites through social media sites such as Twitter. When a user clicks on a specific opportunity, he or she has the option of accepting the opportunity or not. If a user chooses to accept the opportunity, he or she must read the guidelines and Code of Ethics before posting about the opportunity on his or her blog. Read the Terms and Conditions very carefully and also the required information in each opportunity, as it serves as instructions on how to get paid by the advertiser. Finally, enter some details about the post itself and where it is located so the editorial team can review it to make sure it has all the required elements for payment. Then click "verify post" and get paid! It's that easy! For its ease of use and variety of opportunities, I would have to say that SocialSpark is one of my favorite sites to blog for. I'll be back with more updates on my progress soon!

Triond.com Review
I have recently submitted 2 articles for publishing at Triond.com. Within just a few hours of submitting them, I received an email saying that they were chosen for publishing! The best part about it is that these articles were ones that I had already written, they were not written originally for Triond.com. However, Triond.com only accepts original content, meaning that it cannot be published on any other site. For those not familiar with the world of online writing, most websites will place ads on the writer's content page and when a reader clicks on the ad or makes a purchase from the ad, the writer earns revenue. Triond.com writers earn revenue from regular ads and also from Google AdSense. According to the website, "Over the past month, Google AdSense earnings have doubled, with the same amount of views earning twice as much revenue". This means that your published work can work harder and earn more money for YOU! However it should be noted that writers are not eligible to receive Google AdSense revenue until they have published at least 5 articles on the site. It's so easy to get set up! Just go to Triond.com and there will be a sign up page on the left hand side. Fill out your information, click "sign up" and you should shortly be receiving an email request to verify your account. Click the verification link in the email to confirm your account and voila! You are now an official account holder at Triond.com! Hit the "Submit" tab next to the "Dashboard" tab after you've signed onto your account. From here, it's easy to submit previous work, or any new content on a variety of topics. Triond.com has to be one of my favorite websites to publish to because they handle all the marketing for your work! They also accept many different kinds of media!
According to the website, "Whether you write, photograph, record or compose, you can submit your creation to Triond. We accept all original content on any topic, including written articles, pictures, audio, and video. No matter how you created it, we can publish it. Triond helps showcase your content so your work gets maximum readership and you earn recognition. As soon as your content is published, it begins generating revenue from several income sources, such as display and contextual advertising that appears on the pages of your content. We share with you 50% of the revenue generated by your content".
In the world of online publishing, 50% of ad revenue is probably the highest percentage I've seen. This means writers can make MORE money for the same amount of content! In fact, I know writers who have published THREE times as many articles on other sites as they have on Triond.com but make the same amount of money! So it's all about working SMARTER, not HARDER.
