About 5 years ago I started selling Avon as my first job. It didn’t work out well and only lasted a few months. It was so bad that I sometimes forget it is considered a job. Looking back I realize I made a few mistakes with that job. One being I wasn’t aggressive enough. Everyone and their aunt sells Avon and I couldn’t bring myself to take customers away from other people. I’ve learned since then that you don’t always have to. Sometimes people shop around, sometimes they will send you business if they like you.

Another thing I did not do is use business cards, now I get business cards online. I prefer using vista print as I have ordered many times from them and have been very happy with the product. I have 3 different business cards from them right now and I have found that switching them up a little will make people pick up the card again and maybe check it out. One women I talked with found my design blog when I left a card at her salon. The first time she looked at it, thought is was interesting and lost the card. The next card she picked up because it was the same one. She then forgot to check out the site. The third time she noticed the name of the site on a different designed card and made sure to keep it. The moral of this story, change a few things, but keep the information the same and keep trying to get that information out there.

My little sisters and their boyfriends live together in an apartment right now, they have 3 dogs and a cat and are really looking for a home. They wanted to make sure they could actually afford one so they decided to look up what their expenses might be. They found out about how much they might pay each month for the mortgage and got home insurance quotes. They also got information on electric and other monthly bills from my one sisters boyfriend who has a house near here that he got when his mother passed. They can’t move into that one as it’s a 2 hour drive to school for 3 of them if they did that.

They think they can afford it, but they are also thinking about moving to another state in 2 years. I told them if they do buy a home get one that can be fixed up so they can sell it for a profit if the housing market gets better. I hope by then it is.

I love sites that help you to make money and advertise your own site at the same time. Qassia is such a site and they are just getting started so you can get in on the ground floor right now!

The best thing about this site is that they allow you to make money by having advertising on their site. Yes they use Google Adsense , but I can live with that, the anger is starting to eb and I’m willing to do this. I still will not have adsence on my sites, mostly because I am doing alot better with bidvertiser then I ever did with adsense.

Anyway if you join Qassia within the next 10 hours I get some qassia cash and you can get some too. Right now if you refer people you get $500 qassia cash. That means your site is shown more and eventually you can cash in for some cool stuff.

You can also earn money by posting about things you like, know about or are just interested in. You can even post about your mom and earn qassia cash, according to the site you can anyway! So what do you have to lose it’s free to join and could be alot of fun!
