It's &lt;A href="http://www.blogofbarbie.blogspot.com"&gt;http://www.blogofbarbie.blogspot.com&lt;/A&gt; It's full of not only the latest trends, but also the timeless, classic, and iconic.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I also recently found a really interesting blog about teen pregnancy, especially about social norms relating to it and adoption. If you are pregnant or know anyone that is, please reccomend it to them. Also, if you just want to read about some of the double-edged swords in society that these girls face, please visit &lt;A href="http://www.teengravid.blogspot.com"&gt;http://www.teengravid.blogspot.com&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Finally, I have started a blog to replace this blog (once again, finally!) It's all about the politics of the normal, average, everyday people. If the book Fight Club made you want to do something about the government, if you used to read this blog, or if you just want to do something about how crazy and corrupt everything is, feel free to join the discussion by commenting at &lt;A href="http://www.historyhasmiddlechildren.blogspot.com"&gt;http://www.historyhasmiddlechildren.blogspot.com&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for reading! =) And, of course, pass on the message...&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://middlechildrenofhistory.xanga.com/704539468/check-out-some-of-these-websites/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>New Blog-- Check it out!</title><link>http://middlechildrenofhistory.xanga.com/668668701/new-blog---check-it-out/</link><guid>http://middlechildrenofhistory.xanga.com/668668701/new-blog---check-it-out/</guid><pubDate>Sat, 02 Aug 2008 14:13:57 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;P&gt;If you're interested in popular websites, indie and cult films, and fashion-- or just pop culture in general-- or just like to be entertained when you read-- Check out this new blog! &lt;A href="http://blogofbarbie.blogspot.com/" target=_new&gt;http://blogofbarbie.blogspot.com&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://middlechildrenofhistory.xanga.com/668668701/new-blog---check-it-out/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Stop surfing xanga like this! You should be getting PAID to surf your friends' blogs!</title><link>http://middlechildrenofhistory.xanga.com/617435067/stop-surfing-xanga-like-this-you-should-be-getting-paid-to-surf-your-friends-blogs/</link><guid>http://middlechildrenofhistory.xanga.com/617435067/stop-surfing-xanga-like-this-you-should-be-getting-paid-to-surf-your-friends-blogs/</guid><pubDate>Sat, 22 Sep 2007 14:48:46 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;P&gt;This is my dinky little xanga blog that gets between 50 and 100 hits a day and earns me ZERO cash. Yes, every now and then I get a referral from this site, but this blog earns me ZERO cash. Let me introduce you to my other blog: &lt;A href="http://www.yuwie.com/whatstuff" target=_new&gt;http://www.yuwie.com/whatstuff&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I get referrals from this blog, too, and I get PAID to use it. I can do everything on that blog I can on xanga or myspace: create layouts, change layouts, blog, add friends, add videos, add pictures, join clubs... But I get paid every time someone visits my blog. Makes one wonder why anyone would even BOTHER with xanga or myspace when they can get PAID to do the same thing. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So what are you waiting for? Start getting PAID to shat with your friends! None of your friends are on Yuwie? Then invite them! Duh! You get PAID a percentage of the earnings of everyone you invite, so start spreading the word to your friends! &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For more information about how you get paid and how much you can make, watch this video: &lt;A href="http://r.yuwie.com/whatstuff" target=_new&gt;http://r.yuwie.com/whatstuff&lt;/A&gt; &amp;nbsp;Then, hit 'next' and you're all ready to sign up! Just remember to pick a username that starts with a symbol (such as ~, *, or.) or the letter A, so that your username shows up first in more lists and you get more hits. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I hope to see you on Yuwie! =D&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;PS Check out a friend's helpful blog:&amp;nbsp; &lt;A href="http://www.yuwie.com/quitmyspace" target=_new&gt;http://www.yuwie.com/quitmyspace&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://middlechildrenofhistory.xanga.com/617435067/stop-surfing-xanga-like-this-you-should-be-getting-paid-to-surf-your-friends-blogs/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>What do you need to do to earn serious money?</title><link>http://middlechildrenofhistory.xanga.com/615061886/what-do-you-need-to-do-to-earn-serious-money/</link><guid>http://middlechildrenofhistory.xanga.com/615061886/what-do-you-need-to-do-to-earn-serious-money/</guid><pubDate>Sun, 09 Sep 2007 20:07:08 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;P&gt;I'd like to throw out a few sites that really pay and pay you WELL for your efforts: &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.yuwie.com/yuwie.asp?r=50239" target=_new&gt;http://www.yuwie.com/yuwie.asp?r=50239&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;Basically, you get paid to use myspace. You get paid per impression of your page by others, or impressions of your control panel by you. So, the better you layout and the more friends you have, the more you get paid. The more often you update your account, the more you get paid. Cool, huh?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A style="COLOR: #fff; TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://www.AWSurveys.com/HomeMain.cfm?RefID=wuvadoink." target=_new _extended="true"&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000 size=2&gt;http://www.AWSurveys.com/HomeMain.cfm?RefID=wuvadoink&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;. This site is a scam that will pay you &lt;STRONG&gt;well&lt;/STRONG&gt; for your efforts. It sounds crazy but they really do pay-- just not for what they say they'll pay for. They advertise that you can review sites for cash. This works for about $26 worth of sites, then they stop giving you sites review (payout is $75). But, they will consistantly pay you for referrals-- I've reached payout again and again, just by referring people to 'The Scam That Pays'. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#660000&gt;&lt;A href="http://adbux.org/?r=bebebij" target=_new&gt;http://adbux.org/?r=bebebij&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;This is undoubtably the best PTC there is--- you can earn more than 50 cents a day, even if you have ZERO referrals. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://thebux.com/?r=bebebij" target=_new&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;A href="http://thebux.com/?r=bebebij&amp;nbsp;This" target=_new&gt;http://thebux.com/?r=bebebij&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; This site doesn't have as many ads per day as adbux, but it pays 1 cent per ad, so with 50 referrals, you could be earning over $100 a month. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;But hey, if you want referrals, the best place to get them is &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;A onclick="this.style.behavior='url(#default#homepage)';this.setHomePage('http://www.getref.com/startpage.asp?id=BEBEBIJ');" href="http://www.getref.com/startpage.asp?id=BEBEBIJ " target=_new&gt;&lt;FONT face=arial color=#6699ff size=3&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;http://www.getref.com/startpage.asp?id=BEBEBIJ&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;. Earn credits by joining sites, clicking links, or referring members. Spend credits on either traffic or referrals.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Want a whole bunch of hits? &lt;FONT face=Arial size=1&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.linkreferral.com/adwel.pl?oldrefid=98967" target=_new&gt;http://www.linkreferral.com/adwel.pl?oldrefid=98967&lt;/A&gt;. Get free referrals and hits. The more sites you visit and rate, the more hits you get. I get upwards of 150 hits a day from there for viewing 20 ads a day. When I stop viewing ads for a couple weeks, my views may drop to only 5 or 10 per day, but they never dissapear completely! It is amazing!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=1&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Get hits for up the three sites!&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: none"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;A href="http://ManualTraffic.com?=506" target="_new"&gt;http://ManualTraffic.com?=506&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=1&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Want MORE hits? &lt;A href="http://www.t2000ultra.com/?rid=6356" target=_new&gt;http://www.t2000ultra.com/?rid=6356&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial&gt;EVEN MORE HITS!!!! http://www.hits2u.com/?433088&lt;A href="http://www.hits2u.com/?433088" target=_new&gt;http://www.hits2u.com/?433088&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://middlechildrenofhistory.xanga.com/615061886/what-do-you-need-to-do-to-earn-serious-money/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>A Few Of The BEST</title><link>http://middlechildrenofhistory.xanga.com/614324412/a-few-of-the-best/</link><guid>http://middlechildrenofhistory.xanga.com/614324412/a-few-of-the-best/</guid><pubDate>Wed, 05 Sep 2007 21:42:13 GMT</pubDate><description>Get paid to start and respond to discussions: http://www.mylot.com/?ref=diaryofamaybe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get you own *FREE* online store-- no need to download anything! http://whatstuff.shopinblog.com &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get paid to use MySpace: Blog, post pictures, post videos, add friends, rate layouts, etc: http://www.yuwie.com/yuwie.asp?r=50239</description><comments>http://middlechildrenofhistory.xanga.com/614324412/a-few-of-the-best/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>How Much Can You Earn In A Month?

You'll get paid $26 for 5 surveys, but then surveys stop showing up, and payout is $75. However, you get $1.25 per referral, so you can easily reach payout in a few days. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;CashCrate&lt;/STRONG&gt; pays for completeing offers. Simple enough. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;TikTik Cash&lt;/STRONG&gt; pays for completing offers, pays about 25 cents per paid email, and $5 per referral. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Donkey Mails&lt;/STRONG&gt; is the highest-paying PTR (paid-to-read) and PTC (paid-to-click) around. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Which of these is YOUR favourite?

Get cash for creating and responding to discussions, as well as uploading pictures.

It is more fun than the Conservative party, and more socially acceptable than the Neonazi party. It can just kind of replace the Liberal party, because it's pretty much the same thing except with socialized ecstacy instead of socialized medicine. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Ravist Party's color is neon. Our nominee for the next presidential election is Kurt Cobaine. (It doesn't matter that he's dead, it just means that the Ravist Congress will have more power than the president. Now sit back and imagine a session of Ravist Congress.) Electronic music would instantly become patriotic and every day would be like Fourth of July except with LSD and sex instead of barbecues. We can amend the constitution to make the Supreme Court into an underground dance party with a glow-in-the-dark pen.

I've tried just about everything there is. Paid-to-click, paid-to-participate, paid-to-read, paid-to-post, HYIP, MLM (I don't even know what that stands for, actually, but I've tried it), investment, selling on eBay, everything. Five or six programs emerged as the ones I kept going back to, because they kept paying me. So, I borrowed a friend's computer, set up a NEW account with each of those programs, and discovered that I didn't need loads of referrals already-- By 'matrixing' these&amp;nbsp;6 programs, my referrals multiplied themselves (meaning more money for me). &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Here are the&amp;nbsp;six steps to letting your referrals multiply themselves:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;1)&lt;/STRONG&gt; Go to &lt;A href="http://website.ws/middlechildrenofhistory" target=_new&gt;http://website.ws/middlechildrenofhistory&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;and get your own website. This site will show you how you can make $50000 or something ridiculous like that every month. Don't believe it. You'll realistically make about $40 a month, using my 5-step program, and it costs $10 a month (although the first 7 days are free). The point of the program is, you get your own URL, meaning more traffic, Google hits, Google Adsense hits, etc. Why? A) It looks more professional than &lt;A href="http://www.xanga.com/middlechildrenofhistory" target=_new&gt;www.xanga.com/middlechildrenofhistory&lt;/A&gt; or &lt;A href="http://www.themiddlechildrenofhistory.blogspot.com/" target=_new&gt;www.themiddlechildrenofhistory.blogspot.com&lt;/A&gt;. B) The internet, Google, and other websites&amp;nbsp;treat it as its own website, not a subset of another website. C) It's professionally designed, so your visitors will think of you as a company, not some random blogger. D) It's just cool to have your own website. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Once you sign up, you need to come up with a kickass (pardon my French) URL. Something catchy that will get attention, looks/ sounds professional, and will get you the hits you deserve. Want advice? That's what I'm here for. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Next, you need to organize your content. Make your main page catchy- Add some pictures, include some brilliant content, and PLEASE capitalize letters at the beginning of sentences, spell words correctly, use punctuation, etc. Find a good niche to fill, and don't make your website about something totally generic (such as working from home). Take a unique aspect to the problem you wish to solve, and run with it. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Perhaps you're worried about the $10 a month. I was too, until I realized I spent more than $10 a month on soda pop, which DOESN'T earn me $40 a month. In fact, all soda pop does for me is make me gain weight. So I drank 10 fewer soda pops a month, and now I make $500 a month instead. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you're still worried, just sign up for the 7-day trial. If it doesn't work for you, cancel your account and go drink a Coke, without ever losing a cent. It's that easy. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;2)&lt;/STRONG&gt; Sign up for &lt;SPAN id=ctl00_cphLeftMenu_ctl00_lblReferral&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.mylot.com/?ref=laisse" target=_new&gt;http://www.mylot.com/?ref=laisse&lt;/A&gt;. This site pays you to blog. No joke. Try to make 50 discussions/ responses your first day. Add 'Make Extra Money' to your interests. In this section, create a post about making money by having your own website, and post your .WS referral link in this discussion. In your profile, edit 'Your Website' so that it reflects your .ws URL. Make some more posts. Try to make 5 friends your first week. Visit their profile and write on their wall; maybe they'll visit your profile and see your website URL. Make a few more discussions and a few more friends. Easy peasy lemon squeasy. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;3)&lt;/STRONG&gt; Join &lt;A href="http://www.awsurveys.com/HomeMain.cfm?RefID=wuvadoink" target=_new&gt;http://www.awsurveys.com/HomeMain.cfm?RefID=wuvadoink&lt;/A&gt;. Many people will tell you this site is a scam. It is. You will make $4 for 2 website reviews your first day, totalling $26 your first day, then they will stop sending you surveys. Payout is $75. However, you can make $1.25 per referral. I've made more than $100 in referrals by telling people the truth-- this is a scam, but it pays good. After you join this site and make $26 dollars ($27 if there is a bonus survey up), make a post about it on MyLot, and post your referral link on your .ws website. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;4)&lt;/STRONG&gt; Join &lt;A href="http://www.moreinfo247.com/9657187/FREE" target=_new&gt;http://www.moreinfo247.com/9657187/FREE&lt;/A&gt;. This is an affiliate marketing site that pays you 30% to 80% profits, depending on your level. Once you join, complete 'Smart Start'.

Post Google Adsense ads on all pages of your website. This will help you immensely. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;Once you've completed these steps, you should establish a daily routine. For example: &lt;STRONG&gt;Every day, I...&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;A) Make at least 50 posts on myLot. If I'm ambitious, I make 100. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;B) Make a post including my referral link for each of the five key programs.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;C) Go to Link Referral, view 30 sites, and review 5. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;D) Go to sfimg.com, check for new items, and complete something from the checklist or use one of the given tools. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Every week I...&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;A) Make a new friend on myLot and update my profile. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;B) Update my website. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;C) Update my website description on Link Referral. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;D) Check AW Surveys for new surveys (although this step could be skipped without consequence). &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;E) Make a post on MyLot asking for ways to get free hits or referrals, then follow through with the websites people post. For free hits, I enter my .ws website. For free referrals, I alternate which of the 5 websites' referral links I enter. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;F) Make sure to let my downlines know about this method!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;My first week, I...&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;a) Made 500 posts on MyLot. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;b) Got two .WS referrals. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;c) Got 15 AW Surveys referrals. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;d) Got 5 SFI referrals, and made 2 sales. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;And I earned...&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;a) $7 from myLot&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;b) Nothing from .WS.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;c) $47.75 from AW Surveys&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;d) $19 from SFI. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;My first month, I...&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;a) Made a total of 1500 posts on MyLot.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;b) Got 12 referrals to .WS. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;c) Got 100 referrals to AW Surveys. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;d) Got 11 referrals to SFI and make 9 sales. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;And I earned...&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;a) $17 from MyLot&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;b) $10 from .WS.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;c) $152 from AW Surveys. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;d) $63 from SFI. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;My third month, I...&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;a) Made 6800 posts on MyLot.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;b) Got&amp;nbsp;37 referrals to .WS. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;c) Got 400 referrals to AW Surveys. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;d) Got 35 referrals to SFI and made 30 sales. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;And I earned...&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;a) $75 on myLot.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;b) $40 from .WS.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;c) $527 from AW Surveys.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;d) $312 from SFI. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;So, in my third month, I earned&amp;nbsp; a total of $954.&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Try it for yourself!

And we're just learning this fact. So don't fuck with us."&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;--Tyler Durden from Chuck Palahniuk's &lt;EM&gt;Fight Club.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you've been looking for work online, you've been bombarded with 'Get Rich Quick' and 'Multiply Your Money Overnight' schemes. You have been taught that a good program takes your money and multiplies it until you're rich within a matter of days. You've been spoon-fed that there is a program out there that will change your life without you ever having to move a finger, and you're still searching for it. Here's the secret: There isn't. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;That American Dream we've all been pursuing tells us that if we are good people and go to school every day and church every Sunday and study our lessons and say our prayers, we will get into a good college and have an easy job. We will&amp;nbsp; have a nice house and a picket fence and a golden retriever and a shiny car and good kids with straight hair and our lives will be easy. We will never have to work overtime, we'll always have the TV with the highest definition, and&amp;nbsp;life will be both&amp;nbsp;invigorating and relaxing. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But maybe we didn't study so hard in school. Maybe we skipped classes now and then. Maybe our&amp;nbsp;PSAT score was only a 150 or&amp;nbsp;our birth control failed.&amp;nbsp;Maybe we joined GSA or got caught smoking in the girls' bathroom or traveled for a year before college; but we did something &lt;EM&gt;different&lt;/EM&gt;. And now our lives aren't easy, so we must have done something &lt;EM&gt;wrong&lt;/EM&gt;. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;And now we try to fix it. We're doing unskilled labor under some guy that smells like cigarettes and old Cheetos for $9 an hour, the drywall in our apartment is cracking and all the lightbulbs need changed, we have 2 toddlers thats spend most of the day in daycare, and we've decided that the only way to keep from being homeless is to pick which kid we like better, send it to college, and sell the other one into slavery. Not really. Actually, we're going to try to fix whatever we did 'wrong' in highschool with that magical box of cathode tubes that sits on our desk and connects us to people that made National Merit and won beauty pageants and make eight figures a year. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So every night when the kids are in bed, we sit down in front of that screen and absorb the glow that must come from the bright, perpetual smiles of people with manicured lawns and designer purses. And we try. We really do. There's National American University and Phoenix University and we subscribe to their psuedo-Scientology: We send them a check and they send us a degree that certifies that we're a little bit more educated than we were before we sent the check, but it doesn't get us a raise. So we search the internet. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We do data entry till we get bored. We fill out surveys for a $15 check. We click links for $0.12 in our PayPal account. We complete $28 worth of offers, then realize that minimum payout is $100. That's when we get desperate. We do Google searches and join 12 different 'Get Rich Quick' programs, only nothing ever happens because we only got a referral to 2 of them and you need 20 referrals to get your residual income check. We send $3 to 3 different people via PayPal as part of a HYIP pyramid, but only get $6 back. We invest money in packages that will teach us how to make millions on eBay, then realize we have nothing worth selling in our apartment. We get an email from a Mr Johnson Khumalo of South Africa informing us that we may be able to claim $25 million from the abandoned bank account of the deceased president of a diamond-mining company, and write him a really nice email back about the effects of storing radium in Tupperware containers.&amp;nbsp;At about 1 am, all else fails so we start playing games where we can theoretically make $20 a month if we get really, really good and defeat all the other Lords. Late to bed, late to rise, and when we get up after noon the next day, we feel like failures. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Why?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We're expecting something for nothing. We're expecting that if we stay online a little longer, connected to people across the globe who have their perfect little lives all figured out, it will happen to us, too. It's not that we're not willing to work; We work our fingers to the bone every day waking up our kids,&amp;nbsp;forcing oatmeal down their throats, hauling them off to daycare, putting on their shoes and washing their faces while we drive, cleaning jam off the ceiling of our vans, trying to ignore our zitty coworkers who continuously stare at our chests, stocking shelves, filling out forms, serving customers, saying 'have a nice day' even when it's raining, calling people who don't want to hear from us, selling people products they don't need, serving as the go-between for important people who know they're doing us a favor by giving&amp;nbsp;us a job to do that they don't need done because they're perfectly capable of talking to each other, coming home to a kitchen that still has oatmeal stains, cooking dinners (or ordering pizzas; don't feel bad, look at everything else you did today), scrubbing the brown spot on the stove where the water boiled over when we were making Mac&amp;amp;Cheese and... erm... we accidently burnt the water, doing dishes, doing laundry, pretending we did laundry and instead spraying Febreeze on the shirts we wore the day before yesterday, reading Are You My Mother? to our four-year-olds three times before bed (complete with animal voices), turning on night-lights, bringing glasses of water, scaring monsters out of the closet, and thinking, 'This can't go on forever. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've got to be about to get my break soon.'&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;That's the thing, though. It doesn't just stop. You don't wake up one morning with shiny hair and clean clothes and fresh paint. You have to step out on a limb. And that's why you're spending your days cleaning oatmeal off your kids' faces: It's what you've done before. It's what you know. And as long as there is oatmeal and a kid, you won't be downsized or useless. Which is very sentimental and nice, but it won't buy you the Prada purse you've been staring at through the Macy's display window every Thursday since February. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step out on a limb. Start a home business. Maybe you won't make 8 figures a year, and maybe your kids will still get jam on the roof of your van, but maybe. Maybe you'll be happier. &lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://middlechildrenofhistory.xanga.com/593330199/no-more-fairytales/#firstcomment</comments></item></channel></rss>
