Profit easily and quickly from your news, views, blogs and other writings

Three months ago, I found myself unemployed and near broke. I am 49 years old and have been in the work force for over thirty years. During those years, I have experimented part time with several home based businesses involving consumer product sales, website design, and event promotions. I've done very well with each venture and vowed that I would become my own boss full time. Losing my job presented that “opportunity” and so I combined savings to prepay my expenses for the road ahead.  Next I prepared a list of those skills I am most knowledgeable and that would likely generate an income. Sales and writing topped my list. I decided to go with writing since it's what I love most and requires the least amount of financial investment.

Next I spent some time researching ways I could earn money using this skill.  I read the many work-from-home sites, blogs, news articles and freelance classifieds. I was surprised to find out how valuable your personal anecdotes, reviews, college essays, and short stories are worth to the thousands of websites out there. You can even earn money posting a couple of sentences to forum posts or classified ads. You’re probably wondering why websites would want to pay you for this type of written work.

 It’s simple – It’s all about the TRAFFIC!

Most free websites such as social networks, classifieds, entertainment news, forums, etc. thrive from their traffic in the same way as television, radio and newspapers thrive from viewership. This traffic means potential customers for companies and individuals advertising their sales banners and links on these sites. Every time a visitor clicks on that banner or link and purchases a product or service via that site, that site owner/s earns a commission. The more traffic the site attracts, the bigger the customer potential and of course more money for the site owner/s. To draw continuous traffic, website owners need to update and modify their content regularly and that’s where your literary input comes in. Your articles, blogs, comments, posts, etc keeps the site energetic and interesting which keeps that audience coming back and possibly expanding – a.k.a.  more potential customers for the site’s advertisers.  This is why website owners are willing to compensate you for your valued help. Given the huge amount of websites on the internet the demand for this kind of work is endless.

During my research, I came across this excellent, fee base, company called Global-Data-Entry. They offer an extensive and simple step-by-step tutorial demonstrating several ways to profit from your writings including data entry, web articles, blogs, forum posts, internet research and more.  After a thorough investigation and ruling them out as a scam, I purchased Global’s internet membership program.  I can honestly say it was worth every cent of the purchase price and I did not incur any further charges.  The tutorial was so easy to follow that I was able to start earning money within two weeks of implementing their program. So far, I’m averaging $800 monthly writing blogs, forum posts and college essays. The work is always steady with the potential to earn more depending on my time schedule.

Now not all information you seek requires payment but,  a quality, all inclusive resource... like this was well worth the investment. It saved me a lot of time and energy and enabled me to reach my goal a lot sooner.

Best of all, I’m doing what I like most, on my terms AND getting paid.

Low Cost Vet Care in Mexico

Every year millions of Americans flock to Mexico to take advantage of low cost medical, dental and pharmaceutical services. But unknown to most, these same services also extend to our four legged friends. Veterinarian costs in Mexico are one fraction of those in America. 

I am an American living in Tijuana, Mexico for almost seven years. I reside here with my pit bull terrier Nanny. Back in 2004, Nanny was diagnosed with a tumor growth on her upper molar. My vet in California informed me an operation was needed to remove the tumor and the cost would be $2000. Of course, that was a lot of money for me. This diagnosis was made about a month prior to my relocation to Tijuana. Fortunately, I was able to locate a reputable vet in my area and so I brought Nanny in for an exam and consultation. The vet confirmed the California vet’s diagnoses and informed me that the cost for the same operation would be $200. Wow! I thought. That was a tenth of the cost quoted to me by my California vet. Through a translator, a date was arranged for the operation and the tumor was successfully removed with no complications. Nanny had the operation on a Friday and was released the following Sunday. Prior to Nanny’s discharge, the vet gave me antibiotics and instructions for administering them. There was no added cost for the antibiotics or the post operation boarding which I would have incurred in the States. Approximately one week after the operation I took Nanny in for a follow up exam and to have her vaccinations updated. Her shots included rabies, bordatella, and distemper which cost me a total of $30. In America, I paid approximately $40 per vaccination - another huge savings. The vet also informed me that because tumors can be cancerous, there was the possibility of it returning. The tumor did return seven years later and I plan to take Nanny to the same vet for a second operation. I was very satisfied with the courteousness and professionalism of the vet and his staff as well as the compassionate care of my dog during her stay. I am confident that Nanny would be in good hands this second time around. The cost of the operation will be $100 more but still a lot less than what I would pay in America.

Medical is not the only bargain you get for your pets here in Mexico. There are products such as; handmade leather collars, leashes, carriers, clothing, dog houses, cat condos and flea medications available at very low costs compared to America. I was able to purchase a four tube pack of the Advantage brand flea medication for $45 in Mexico which retails for approximately $60 in America.

If you are considering a vet in Mexico, I suggest references from pet owners who presently take advantage of these services. They can be your best source for a reputable animal doctor.  Another option is to visit the website of Vet Playas -- a veterinarian hospital located about six miles from the San Ysidro border. This family run facility specializes in a variety of medical and non medical pet services and the staff is bilingual.  They also provide contact information in Mexico and California.

Finally, when transporting your pet to and from Mexico, make sure you have their current vaccination paper work and they are on a leash or in a carrier. Mexican officials usually don’t detain you with your pet but American border officials will require paper work for all animals entering the states regardless of their place of origin. This regulation is to help prevent the spread of disease and vermin that can be harmful to humans and other animals. So just be prepared and always keep your animals safe.
