I am looking around at what I can cut to save a few dollars. I cancelled a wiget site that I was paying a few dollar each month to for their wegets.
I just cancelled the hosting company that I been using for years and years. That was Hostgator. I have had excellent service from them for many years. But my blogs are now running on TypePad and Blogger. I think I can put photos, images and other stuff that I need access to on other sites such as Google Drive. We will see how it works out.
Killing the two things saves me less than $15.00 a month. But it is a start.
Well at end of last month my Google commission was $90.00 and so I will not get any money from them this month. You have to have a commission of at least $100.00 before they pay you.
I am not even sure why I use Google AdSense. The last time I got any money from them was January 25, 2012 and that was $100.91 so I am not making any money from them. Keep in mind that includes YouTube money. I am a “partner”, of course now they say everyone is a partner, so I am not making money from my videos. I did get a lot of hits from the Trayvon Martin/Zimmerman videos but I did not turn on advertising for those videos. I did feel that would be right.
There are people doing YouTube videos that are making a living. Also YouTube had given thousands of dollars from time to time to partners to help them make better videos.
I am not sure if they have done it or not yet but they are giving some partners $15K, I think was the amount, so they can buy hardware and software. I signed up for that give away but I am sure I will not get it.
If I got it I would buy a desktop computer, a couple of monitors, a new camera and lights and green screen hardware. I have never owned an Apple I wonder if that would be the type of computer to get.
I live on a very limited income.
There is something you do not know about me. I don’t tell anyone… I am a liberal Democrat and I feel guilty about it. I own some stocks! Please don’t tell anyone… I feel so guilty about it.
Am I a rich fat cat? No, far from it. I own a few penny stocks. I own a number of stocks and my total investment is less than $1000.00 (in fact less than $750.00 to be honest). That is the total amount of savings and investments that I have. If I died my family would have to use that for my cremation. Why do I say “if I died” because I should say when I die.
I am new to penny stocks. I been doing it less than six months. They are very speculative and very high risk but I am thinking now that people would be better off buying penny stocks than buying lottery tickets. What do you think?
I been sleeping, a lot, during the day time and then I am up all night not able to sleep. It is 2:36 AM. I guess I will go outside and take a little walk. I hope I do not run into a George Zimmerman.
