Mosey Jones at the Baby Show

Do you still have your entrepreneurial side awake and kicking inside you after changing all the nappies, doing the washing up and juggling husband, kids and house at the end of the day? Then you would love to know that Mosey Jones is one of the guest speakers at the Baby Show.

Mosey Jones is a writer and journalist, expert in business and parenting and all the things in between. She is also the author of The Mumpreneur Diaries a book that you can hardly put down once you get engaged in the reading.

The Mumpreneur Diaries: Business, Babies or Bust - One Mother of a Year follows Mosey’s life as she juggles house, kids and her attempt of becoming a mumpreneur during her months of maternity leave. A life that some of us will actually identify with.

This is a really nice opportunity to hear directly from another mum that “has been there and done it”, if you feel inspired you might then check the book. It’s unmissable.

The Baby Show is back

The next Baby Show is getting close; from May 15 to May 17, 2009 it will take place in NEC in Birmingham.

As usual it will be packed with all sorts of information from experts on pregnancy, birth, babies and toddlers. Full of all those necessaries must-haves that all parents are looking for and for a fraction of the price that you will usually find in a retail shop.

Getting paid while blogging

I have run lately across numerous banner ads for Today.com so I finally took the plunge and signed up, although I got a few blogs I decided to take a new one on a subject that I feel passionate about so therefore it wouldn’t take me that much effort to update daily (that is what I am aiming for). Today.com is a well known blogging network, where you get the opportunity to blog for cash and now they are recruiting new bloggers.

If you enjoy writing or you have a hobby and spare fifteen minutes a day, this might be a good opportunity for you. This blogging network pays $1 per each post that contains at least 100 words (what you have been reading in this post is already more than 100 words). So if you post once a day you get paid $30-31 a month. It doesn’t sound like too much but so far this is the only network that I have found paying to write about ANYTHING you want. Choose a subject and blog as usual. Publish and get paid. Is that simple!

At Today.com you get paid:
-By post: $1 per each post that contains at least 100 words.
-By visitors: $2 per 1000 unique visits.

But if you want you can still make extra money in different ways:
-Referring bloggers: You get paid $5 for introducing a friend to blog for cash at Today.com.
-Bonuses of $250 are paid each month to the top promoters.
-Promote affiliate products and earn revenue from the sales.
-Sell advertisement spots on your site (by placing a link or writing a post) and share part of the revenue.

Some of their members report getting hundreds of dollars of monthly income.

Blogging at Today.com seems to be all advantages. To create an account is very easy. Apply following the link provided below (or click on the banner at the top); you will have to choose the name of the blog and the subject. Today.com will host the blog free.

It might take some days (or even weeks) for the blog to be approved as they seem to have too many applications; however mine came in a couple of days. When you receive your approval; they will send you the link to activate your account. Once activated you are done, the only thing left is start blogging!

When you start your blog they pay $2 per 1000 unique visits to your site, however once you published 30 posts over 30 individual days your blog will be promoted and you will get paid $1 per each post with at least 100 words minimum content.

At the end of the day, it doesn't seem too bad for a couple of paragraphs.

Lentil burguers

Did you know that lentils are among the five healthiest foods. They are absolutely packed with iron. I just found a recipe in youtube super-yummy that I wanted to share for those with kids. Sometimes is so difficult to convince them to eat healthier choices. However, all kids love a good burguer. Well, this is the healthier alternative
