Zlio Store

Actually what I am going to talk now is like a pretty crazy idea. But it works to make me happy by shopping around (just like shopping without take out some money).

Maybe you heard about Zlio Store (http://www.Zlio.com)?

It’s free for the members to open a shop selling anything they want. So anyone could register and open a shop.

But what is the relation with shopping habits? Well, by opening a store you suppose to set op the product, what you are going to sell, the layout, and anything else. So, when you are choosing your product, it’s actually like shopping (at least for me it feels like shopping, I choose many beautiful, even luxurious items for my store display).

By choosing many items I want, I feel like shopping. I don’t buy anything but I am happy. Especially if there is somebody buys something through my store I will get some commission. Well, I think its worth to try.

Why Join Affiliate Program?

Now everything going expensive makes all adult have to think hard to make an extra income. While it is almost impossible getting raised salary this year; because the company itself has difficulties to survive.

So what can we do? Your needs might be delay, but how about your children education? And I believe you have needs that must be fulfilled.

In this case, I would like to introduce you to know more about affiliate program (if you still new to this). Affiliate program is a program that let you earn commissions for selling their products/services, or if you give the company leads (depend on the program requirements).

You don’t have to be a great programmer to have your own blog, instead you can learn by googling about how to make a blog. It’s like riding bicycle, what you need is keep practicing & learning.

You could also find many affiliate program directory on the internet, but for now I would like to introduce you to a very good choice of affiliate program, Pepperjam Network.

On Pepperjam Network, you could find many merchant that needs your effort to sell their product, or generate leads for them.

The payment would be twice a month. It will give you better cash flow. You could receive your money through paypal, checks, wire transfer, direct deposit, or google checkout, the choice is yours.

With an affiliate program directory such as Pepperjam, you could meet many merchant without doubt about the fairness of the payment. Pepperjam Network as program directory would guarantee that all your effort will be paid on time.

Imagine that you have 3 merchant and have to control and deal with all of them one by one, it will spend you more time, better have an affiliate program directory to be like the agent, it’s simpler for you.

And a good news for you that on July 2008, Pepperjam Network has promotion, that every new affiliate sign up will have a bonus of $10, hmmnnn….not bad, right?

They just want to show you how serious they are doing the business with you. So take your chance. It’s on July.

You could do this affiliate marketing as your side job or part time job.

Remember economics is tough nowadays, if you have chances, you should take it. $10 is only the beginning, you could earn more with the Pepperjam Network program once you sign up, much more than $10.

Prices Going Crazy

Before the tough economics nowadays, I will have a full bag of snacks for USD 15 on grocery store, but now my bags getting thinner at the same amount of money.

I could only buy less with the same amount before. Due to the crazy increasing oil prices, everything gets much more expensive.

But what can I do? I don’t have the authority to determine the oil prices, neither you, I think.

So, what can we do to survive?
I hate to say this, but true, we have to be savvy, only buy what we need and not what we want. And at the same time we should try to get more extra income, because what we earn might not enough anymore.

But I get asked once by a friend, ”How can you earn more? Who would hire you now for a higher salary? Company fired people, not hire people anymore to survive themselves.”

Really? Is that so? I mean you should think out of the box if you think that way. You born not only to be an employee, you have more potential to be somebody else.

Here I will give you some idea to drive more ideas from you:



  • Sell your home made cookies, puddings, pies, whatever you could do best at your home kitchen. Maybe at the beginning you just let your friends and neighbors know that you are able to make something nice for them at a fair price. It will bring you fun, you could do your hobby and it brings you money at the same time. Who knows that someday you will sell your pudding across the region?

  • If you like pets, I believe people would like to ask you to look after their dogs & cats while they are out of town.

  • Do you like gardening? Why don’t you put a banner on your gate saying, “We Sell plants & flowers, free delivery on certain areas.” Who knows they will drop by to buy some from you?

  • If you like blogging, browsing or another internet activities, go ahead, start your own sites & blogs. There are lots of internet programs you could make money with, like: Parked.com, Kontera, Chitika, YouSayToo, and so on.

  • If you think you are a pretty good writer, try to sell your articles to some media or media sites. If it’s a good idea & useful for readers I believe they don’t mind to pay you.

  • Be a mentor, Nowadays lots of student needs private teacher to help them with their school lessons, be that one.

Basically just do what you could do best, then be creative. You could earn more by being creative at your best area. Start the steps. One mile journey starts from a single step.

Good Luck Guys, You Can Do It.

Be Smart & Diligent on Grocery

Guys, how is the way you shop at grocery? You have a list about what you need and then do you grab it right away or you compare the price & quality of the same product range before you buy one?

Lets say you need to buy detergent. Brand A has 250gr packages cost you $2.0 and the 500gr cost USD 3.9 and the 1 kilos one cost you USD 7.5. Which one will you buy?

You also need to buy some toilet tissue. Brand B has a package of 6 rolls tissue cost USD 2,5 and a package of 12 tissues cost USD 5,2. Which one will you buy?

For detergent buy the 1 kilo packaging would be cheaper, but would better choose 2 package of 6 rolls toilet tissue rather the 12 rolls packaging.

The point is the bigger size sometimes cheaper, sometimes not; and this happens on every products.

You’d better be diligent be diligent while you shop. You might not earn as fast as you spend the money. So please take time ti think & compare before you grab things on grocery.

Nowadays everybody in the world suffers though economics and if you want to survive you have to be smart and wise.
