Building Your Shopping List

Are you building your shopping list yet?

Raspberry Pi 3

Simple small computer for learning programming and more.  The cost is low and it is something that I want to check out.

Lg Ultrawide Monitor 34 inch

Thinking about getting one of those large lg monitors.  The ultrawide monitors look cool.  They are pricey, but it might be time for an upgrade from the old dell small monitors.

Vizio 55 inch Tv 

Big screen tvs are always good.  Thinking about getting one of those vizios. The deals might be big during the black friday sales. 

Vizio Soundbar

Getting a soundbar is a way to pump up the volume.  There are lots of options when it comes to sound. Getting a low cost vizio soundbar is one option, the other is going for the bose speakers, but they can be pricey.

Dell Optiplex Computers on Ebay / Dell Precision Computers on Ebay

Buying new computers or buying refurbs online?  Getting dell computers has been a good experience over time.  Buying them new or used has resulted in a positive outlook.  The dell optiplexes are solid.  Don't you like checking out the dell store on ebay to see what they have?  The prices are pretty good. 




Answering Internet Survey Questions and Getting Into Building Blogs

Doing the internet surveys and going for the referrals is something that can be done online.  Using the computer to find the survey company websites and then applying is not a hard process to complete. 

Some people might enjoy answering the survey questions.  It might still be a pain getting into the open surveys.  They move kind of quickly, but survey takers have the benefit of lots of sites.  So some might reject the applications, but the survey takers know that there are lots of other options.

Answering survey questions might not be your ideal idea of fun, but it is something to do online. Some people might not like the idea of just sitting online all day and answering question after question.  Others might have some free time and enjoy offering up information that can be helpful to the companies.

People give their opinions on topics all the time, but they might not get anything for their 2 cents.  With the internet survey sites, you might have a chance to get a gift card or earn money. 

Some of the savvy internet survey takers might think about gaining referrals, if available.  Doing the surveys day in and day out might be fine for some, but what about getting referrals?  Earning points or earning money from others efforts seems like a good idea.

Creating blogs and other promotional methods to get referrals is a good idea.  The blog has a chance to bring in new referral leads while the survey taker is off doing something else.  There is something special about seeing your point totals rise and you didn't do anything special.  Getting those referral points is a big motivator.

Setting up a blog is good for another reason.  It is another chance to build up some skills in another area.  Survey questions are going to be around, learning how to setup a blog is a good skill to pick up.  Learning how to write blog articles and even record videos or audios could potentially open new doors.

Starting a blog could also be a chance to go for more income streams.  Google adsense and other online marketing programs might be an option.  Starting off with doing surveys and then venturing into a blog could be a new path.

The blog is a chance to explore graphics and images.  It is a chance to learn about other online marketing options.  It is a chance to learn about search engine optimization and catchy headlines.  Don't forget to think about list building and email marketing.  Setting up one blog could open the door to doing lots of niche online blogging.

Doing one site and learning the ropes could be the inspiration for lots of new niche sites.  Each new site could be another potential route to more traffic and potential passive income.  Starting off online learning about online surveys might lead to different destinations.

Keeping An Eye On Social Media

Online social media is something on the tip of the tongue.  People know that social media and going viral is something that is wanted.  What is the alure of the viral?  The low cost of using social apps is what gets people thinking.

The social media twitter accounts are an option for sharing information.  Learning how to use status updates to share links, images, text and videos is something that should be on the task list.

It is all about making connections.  The social media fb is where lots of people are already plugged in. The overall goal is earning money online and going for passive income sources.

Are you up for making lots of videos?  Posting videos on social media youtube is another potential traffic source.  People enjoy watching videos and youtube is the place that immediately jumps to mind.  Recoring videos with your smartphone, tablet computer or video camera could be an option for going for traffic.

Pictures, images and graphics are a good way of sharing information.  Long articles might be good for seo, but don't you think it is cool to look at an image and grasp a concept?  The social media pinterest site is just one of those outlets for showcasing graphics and images of information.  Creating pinterest boards and learning how to get around pinterest is a time investment.

The social media instagram is a place where people go to look at images and videos.  There are lots of social media platforms and keeping up them all might seem like too much work, but instagram is one that people recognize.  Getting an instagram account and using it to connect is something to consider.

Joining more social media accounts might start getting tough.  How many accounts are you going to have?  How are you going to keep up with posting on all the different platforms?  Remember that social media sites can be trendy.  The hot social media sites of a few years back might not be in the same position in the future.
