You hear it all the time - diversify, diversify, diversify.  Whether you’re talking about investments or blogging / online income, diversification is absolutely critical to your long-term success.  There will be ups and downs along the wrong - some areas will do great, while some will do poorly.  Being diversified allows you to get through the tough times much less painfully.

Diversification also applies to your writing - yes I said it.  If you write about the same topic day in, day out, every single day, for months ( or even years! ), you will get tired.  You will get tired of writing, and your readers will get tired of reading.  You need to inject something different from time to time - just to keep everyone on their toes.  No one wants to read the same thing every day, and I know I sure as heck don’t want to write the same stuff every day.  It’s just monotonous, and I can get that at my day job.

Sticking to your niche is great, and important to keep in mind.  But don’t be afraid of going off-topic for a moment, just to take a break.  You’ll feel better, and there’s a good chance your readers will appreciate it.

One of the biggest ( and originally most controversial ) paid posting services, PayPerPost is one that I only recently joined. The concept is simple - you get paid to write a blog post about a specific topic. I don’t write a large number of sponsored posts, and I pick and choose which opportunities to take, rather then accepting everything that comes through my inbox. That’s where PPP has a good angle - there are a ton of opportunities, especially when compared to Review Me or Sponsored Reviews.

I can’t for the life of me remember how I stumbled across PPP, but I probably just followed a link off of someone else’s blog. In fact, that’s how I end up signing up for just about everything - someone else writes about it, and it piques my interest. Regardless of the prior controversy surrounded PPP, I really wanted to give them a try to see if they could compete with the two services that I already use.

So far, I have written 2 PPP posts, since I try not to go overboard. I have not received payment yet, ( I’m still new ), so I can’t comment on timeliness of payment just yet. I’m going to stick with the program for a bit longer to see how things pan out. The average payout seems to be lower than RM and SR, but the larger selection of opportunities may outweigh this in the end. I’ll report back with an update in a month or two, to give my updates thoughts on the program.

So, a woman wanders into a German gas station to buy a pack of cigarettes - no big deal. This woman is wearing a pair of gold high heels and some sort of bracelet - still not anything to see here. When you realize that she’s not wearing anything besides the high heels and bracelet is when you know something out of the ordinary is happening.

This woman, whose arms, back, torso, and butt are covered in tattoos, just sauntered into a gas station, bought her smokes, and sauntered back out to her waiting Ferrari F430. So not only is she eccentric and naked, she’s also obscenely rich. Ahh to be rich and weird- what a life.

The clerk inside the store didn’t have much to say - apparently this Ferrari lady has made purchases there in the nude before, and it wasn’t a surprise this time around. She’s also reportedly a very nice woman.

One of the other customers caught her on a camera-phone this time around. I would censor the pictures for nudity, but it looks like all the “obscene” bits are blurred or out of view anyway, so there’s not much point. One thing to remember, though, is that nudity in Germany isn’t the same as it is here - it’s less out of the ordinary.

Have you checked your stats today?  The answer should be no if you’re in this game to make money.  Remember - once a week is how often you should be looking at your numbers.  Any more is just a waste of time, and a loss of productivity.  Why check your numbers when you can be increasing them instead?  Get off the stats, and get to work.

Rubber Stamp Champ specializes in selling -surprise- rubber stamps. There are many different sizes of self-inking stamps available, with plenty of customization available. But let’s get back to the basics for a moment - what is a self-inking stamp? Self-inking stamps last for several thousand impressions before you need to add any ink ( which Rubber Stamp Champ does sell, by the way ). The whole concept is to keep things simple, and to make sure you don’t have to worry about ink for quite some time.

You can choose between traditional stamps, round stamps, signature stamps, pocket stamps, date stamps, address stamps, and quite a few more. Suffice is to say that if you’re looking for a particular style of stamp, Rubber Stamp Champ has something for you.

Once you’ve selected your stamp, you get to customize the message. You can add up to 4 lines of text, horizontal lines, and even pictures. There is a large collection of clip art to choose from, or you can upload your own image if you prefer. You will have to become a member to upload your own image, which only takes a few minutes.

Any orders over $10 will qualify for free shipping, which makes the already low prices even better. If you find yourself writing any sort of information down repeatedly, over and over, whether it’s your name and address, or your business name and address, then Rubber Stamp Champ may be a good place to start looking, to make things a bit easier.
