Losing Money Due To High Canadian dollar

It’s so sad!

I’m Canadian and in case you aren’t aware the Canadian dollar is actually worth more than the American dollar right now. It’s the first time in decades that our dollar has been higher than the US dollar.

I just looked it up and our dollar is worth 1.01775 in the US. OK I didn’t say it was a lot higher.

Still … since most of the money that I earn via the internet is paid to me in American dollars through my Paypal account I’m actually losing money. Paypal takes a small fee, I believe it’s 3% when they exchange money from US currency to another currency and of course, when I transfer my money to a Canadian bank account I end up losing money.

I think I’m going to look into getting an American bank account. I think I can. Then I’ll use that as my main Paypal bank account and transfer my money to my Canadian bank from the US bank account. I must look into this.

I’m sure there must be several Canadians out there in the same position that I am. Have you thought of any ways to cut the lose a bit?

Accoona Corp’s innovative lead generation service

by Tricia

Have you heard of Accoona Corp? It’s a company who’s goal is to become one of the leading companies in online lead generation. Accoona has three main focus’ which involve online search in China, the USA and Europe, as well as eCommerce consumer electronic retailing and of course online-based lead generation.

The company was founded in 2004 and has unfortunately been associated in the past with the notorious armand rousso. They no longer have any dealings with Rousso.

Accoona prides itself in the fact that it’s the first online marketplace where advertisers interested in a range of products and services can bid for said leads.

Actually their lead generation service sounds very innovative. It’s an interactive cross-industry pay per lead bidding system and online advertising platform. Buyers and sellers are pre-screened and matched using online and offline direct response channels. Often this takes place in real time.

Advertisers can sign up for a free account and then manage their bids and budgets using Accoona’s self serve console. Consumers are then matched to the advertisers after filling out a simple questionnaire. The consumer then receives targeted product and service offers.

It sounds like this is a company to keep an eye on.

Get Peopleized and promote your site

by Tricia

I’ve just been Peopleized!

I’ll be you’re wondering what that means?

Well, to put it simply I’ve just signed up with a site called Peopleized-people interview people. I’m hoping that I’ll meet other website owners on the site and participate in some interviews which will help me promote my sites and get links on other peoples blogs and websites as a result of those interviews.

Most of the bloggers that I know are quite active on the web and often work on promoting their sites at least once a week if not daily in one way or another. Peopleized simply allows you to meet others who are also interested in exchanging links and helping one another promote their websites.

I signed up, quickly created my profile and added nine or ten of my websites in as little as 15 minutes. Now I can sit back and wait for someone to come along and request an interview or I can start looking through the website categories, browse People (site members) or do a search for a keyword to find members or websites who perhaps have similar interests to my own.

Once I find a person that I’d like to interview I’d simply need to click the interview button in their profile and begin creating an interview. While I’m looking at a persons profile I can also look at the interviews that they’ve completed and the ones that they’ve asked others to do.

Another great thing about Peopleized is that you can use the interviews that you’ve done as well as any interview on Peopleized to create new content on your website. In this way you’ll be promoting the person who was interviewed and hopefully giving your readers something interesting to read as well as a new site to visit.

What are you waiting for? Get Peopleized! If you join the site come say hello. My user name is dragonden.
