Mylot – a way to make money?

by

I was toying with MyLot for a while as a way to make a little bit of extra money here and there.

Basically, Mylot is a community of individuals from around the world who share information and help one another with questions that they might have. Post a question on the site, or answer one with a worthy answer and you’ll be rewarded monetarily. The more you participate on the site the more money you’ll eventually make.

Site members reading the various questions and answers can rate your answer, as can the person who asked the question in the first place. I believe that securing best answer will give you a slightly better payout.

Mylot doesn’t seem like a way to make money quickly. To earn a good sum of money I believe that you’d have to both answer and compose at least 100 questions each day if not more. While it’s true that you don’t have to provide in depth questions or answers, the better your answers are the more money you’ll probably make down the road. Remember Mylot community members rate one another and so does the person who originally posed a question. You want to strive for best answer, and try to write interesting questions that a number of people will participate in answering.

If you enjoy talking with others online this might be a good place for you to visit.




IDrive-E offers free online backup service

by

Do you have files on your computer that you’d love to be able to access from anywhere? Or do you run a large website and find that it’s just not feasible to do your regular back ups onto your own system because of lack of space? Why not check out idrive.com where you can store up to 2GB of Online Backup or files absolutely free of charge?

The average computer owner could use IDrive-E’s free online backup service to store MP3s, videos, photos, emails and financial documents on their secure encrypted servers. Once you set up an account and begin to store regular backups of your important files your connection to your online back up at idrive will appear on your computer as an encrypted mapped drive which will allow you to easily restore your files anytime you need to do so.

While their free 2GB online backup service might be perfectly fine for most computer users, they also offer I-Drive E Pro packages which would be idea for small businesses or individuals who have large back up needs. You can get unlimited storage space for just 4.95/month.

After nearly losing all of my websites and blogs due to lack of a recent back up back in February I strongly believe that everyone should back up their files at least once a week if not daily. Check out IDrive-E and try their free online backup service. You can’t lose as it’s free.

Are you part of the I Follow Movement?

by

A few days ago I wrote a post on one of my other sites about the I Follow movement and how many bloggers have decided to remove the rel no follow tags from the comment sections of their blogs so that they could give their visitors that took the time to stop and leave a comment a real link.

Now, I’ve had a plugin on my sites called Comment Plugger for the better part of the last year and this plugin gave my site visitors a real link directly under the post whenever they left a comment. Now I’ve also added the Do Follow Plugin to all of our sites to ensure that all comments left anywhere on our sites provide real links that will be picked up by the search engines for our site visitors.

If you’d like to become part of the I Follow movement, either go into your sites template and change the no follow tags to follow tags in your comment section, or if you are a wordpress user download the No Follow plugin and simply activate it in order to provide links that search engines can follow when your visitors leave a comment.

If you’ve already removed the No Follow tags I’d also like to invite you to join the Do Follow blogroll that I created this past Sunday. The list is growing daily and already has at least 50 blogs listed on it. I’d love to add your site too! Visit my Do Follow bloggers page to learn what you need to do to qualify for the list, then send me a message and I’ll email the blogroll code to you so that you can add it to your site. Simple as that – soon you too can be a Do Follow Blogger.

If you’d like to get on the D-List and pass it on to others, along with the benefit of spreading the links of sites that are part of the I follow movement please read my post “Have you been following the I follow movement” over on Tricia’s Musings. Copy the current list and add some Do follow sites to the list and post your own altered version of the list on your site. Spread the word.
