Asda home and car insurance

by Tricia

Have you been using the same Home and Car insurance company for years? Getting tired of rate increases?

Why not visit another Car Insurance provider and check out there rates? It certainly doesn’t hurt to look around – especially if you end up saving some money on your monthly or yearly insurance coverage costs.

ASDA Financial Services offers several different types of car insurance packages – the two most popular would be the over 21 Comprehensive package, and the under 21 Comprehensive insurance package.

They’re even offering discounts of up to 10% on some coverage packages when you purchase your insurance online. Check them out.

High yield savings accounts earn you money

by Tricia

As many of you know I’m stuck at home due to my illness and not bringing in a weekly paycheck. I’ve been working hard on the internet though create a regular income and I’ve been fairly successful.

I don’t have a lot of extra money, but even so, I’ve been trying to put a certain amount away each month into high yield savings accounts. My husband and each have an account that we put at least $100 per month into and it has quite a good interest rate compared to our regular banks rates.

I’ve found the only way to get a good interest rate at any of the main Canadian banks is to maintain a very high balance. Most want you to have at least $1000, but many want you to have a balance of $5000 or more before you see any significant increase in the amount on interest.

I’ve been lucky though because the bank where I’m stashing our money starts giving out a high interest as soon as you make a deposit- even if it’s only a dollar or two. I think the interest rate right now is about 3%. That’s not much, but considering that in most of the main banks I’d have to have a balance of $5000 or more to earn 2% interest I think I’m doing pretty good.

I know that the majority of my readers are American, and I’ve found a site where you can learn more about High Yield savings accounts in the USA. Actually you can find out specifically which banks in each state offer high yield accounts at eMoneyCentral.com. You can even suggest banks or online banks that offer high yield accounts if you find that the one you use isn’t listed.

Check it out and maybe you can start earning a higher interest rate on your money too.

Make money with Loudlaunch

by Tricia

Did you know that there’s yet another way to make some money while you blog? That’s right. A new company called Loudlaunch recently opened up and the site allows bloggers to be paid for blogging about advertising campaigns that posted by advertising members of the Loudlaunch site.

Loudlaunch is a benefit to bloggers in that they can write about products or sites that fit well with their own blog, or about sites and products that they are interested in that they believe their readers would enjoy hearing about; and advertisers have a great way of getting word out about their new site, or about specific products on their site. Advertisers can create an advertising campaign for as little as $50. The bloggers make money by writing about the advertisers promotions and the advertisers get more visitors to their sites and perhaps some new sales as a result. Everybody wins.

When a blogger signs up with Loudlaunch and puts their site up for review they can select which categories their site best falls into. A formal review of the site is done by a Loudlaunch team member and they might make slight adjustments to the blogs listing. Advertisers can select which type of blogs can write about their campaign via the various categories that the blogs end up being listed under.

The amount that a blogger is paid for each campaign that they post is determined by their blogs rating. Such factors as a blogs standings via Alexa, Technorati, page rank and possibly a few other factors come into play as to what the blogger will be paid. Bloggers will be compensated anywhere from $5 per posting up to over $200 for very high ranking blogs.

One thing that I like about Loudlaunch is that at the bottom of each post a disclosure will show that declares that the post is sponsored. I also like that advertisers can’t require a positive spin or tone to their campaigns. Bloggers can write what they feel, however if they feel negatively towards whatever an advertiser is promoting I don’t really see much reason to promote the product. So I’m assuming that most reviews will be neutral to positive depending upon the bloggers point of view.
