Business cards are easy to distribute to those you meet on the street or at an event. They can present your contact information clearly and professionally, while still allowing you to make a creative impact through the design of your own card. Simply having a business card to hand out immediately creates a professional impression on contacts. Do you take business owners who do not have business cards more or less seriously than those who do?

For bloggers, even the most fledgling blog can have greater impact on your potential readers. If someone like yourself approached you and offered you their blog business card, I’m sure you would take a few minutes out of your day to visit their blog and appreciate their thoughts.

Business cards are also very affordable - in fact, VistaPrint.com Will Help You Get Started…Get Your FREE Business Card Today!

Bloggers, here are two services to help you get started making money.

With Review Me, advertisers are looking for bloggers to review their products and services. You can make between $20 - $200 per review! If you can devote ten minutes to writing a quick review, then this is a great program for you. Click on the banner to sign up and get more details.

Text Link Ads is even quicker and easier than Review Me. Advertisers are looking to sell links promoting their websites on blogs just like yours. You would not believe how easy it is to sell the links! I am a member or Text Links Ads and have ads running on a different blog. To give you an example of what advertisers are looking for, several months ago I wrote a post about some new bedroom furniture I had purchased. Today, the words “bedroom furniture” are a live link leading to a furniture retailer. And I’m getting paid! Click on the banner to sign up and get more details.

The last program I want to tell you about is PayPerPost. You may have seen the PPP logo on other blogs as they are a very large network of bloggers. PPP provides bloggers with opportunities to write, podcast, video-cast, or photograph about sponsor content. Sometimes advertisers request that blogs be written with a specific ‘tone’, but then again it’s up to you if you want to accept an opportunity or not.  Click on the banner to sign up and get more details.

So there you have it. Three ways you can easily make money doing something you love - blogging!

There are only two requirements to be eligible for this freebie - you must be Canadian, and you must have reached the age of majority in your province or territory.

This is for a trial offer of Robax Platinum, as well as a coupon for your next purchase of the product. You are required to fill out a short survey to help Robax understand how you deal with your back pain. Included in the survey is the option to receive future offers and information from Wyeth Consumer Healthcare Inc., the makers of Robax Platinum.

I hope you and your back enjoy this free trial offer - I know mine will!

Today may be Independance Day, but why should only Americans get to celebrate?  I sourced out some great freebies for Canadians.

Cetaphil Canada is offering free samples of their Gentle Skin Cleanser and Moisturizing Lotion. Each is 4ml - the perfect size to toss in your purse or overnight bag or to keep it in your desk at work.  The samples will arrive by Canada Post letter mail and may take up to 4-5 weeks for delivery.  Click here to request!

The second freebie I have for you today is for ladies only (although if there are any men out there brave enough to request these for your wife/girlfriend, props to you!) - a free sample of O.B. Tampons in their “mighty small” case.  Although you don’t get to pick which case you get, I have to say that all of the cases are super cute!  Click Here for your Free Sample!

The last freebie I have today is for Torontonians only.  Sorry, I know, I wish they had this offer elsewhere too (especially since I’m not from Toronto!).  There will be FREE outdoor screenings of the movies Juno, Rushmore, Dick, The Virgin Suicides, and Run Lola Run on Tuesday nights this summer at the Harbourfront Centre!  If you haven’t seen these movies, I strongly recommend going to the Harbourfront Centre to catch them.  I’ve seen all of them and they are terrific films.  What are you waiting for? Get to the Harbourfront Centre!

In a nutshell, affiliate marketers sell products on behalf of larger establishments. For example, if you’ve ever seen someone link to a book on Amazon on their blog, it’s possible that the link is an ‘affiliate link’. If you were to purchase the book after clicking on the link, the blogger would receive a small percentage of the sale for referring you. If you’ve ever purchased anything online, it’s likely that you have an affiliate marketer to thank.

Affiliate marketing is not an easy thing to master, although there are some online that have become very successful at it.  Many blogs are devoted to writing about affiliate marketing and helping others learn the craft.

Pepperjam Network does not require you to give them your credit card number - why would they? They will potentially be sending you money!  Sign up for this fantastic bonus today.
