I was checking my e-mail today and saw a Paypal notification of payment received. I, like always, get thrilled to see that I am getting paid for my efforts online. Today the commission I received was from Gomez, Inc. To be honest with you, I didn’t earn my commissions just for leaving my computer on, but instead I got my payment proof thanks to referring a couple other free members to Gomez. Right now they are giving $1.00 referral bonuses to their affiliates. This is a pretty hefty referral fee if you ask me, since it’s free and all.

I had the Gomez Peer software installed on my old computer. Now that they paid me, I figured it would be a good idea to install it on my current computer. So I did that, took me less than 5 minutes to set up.

Paypal payment I received from Gomez Peer for $5.41.

Gomez is free to join, easy to make money with, and is now proven “to me” anyway that they really do pay their members. I know I haven’t made a whole lot of money with Gomez Peer, but I also haven’t done much with their program. Now I am going to use the software and make sure you guys all know about this free opportunity online.

I’ve been seeing the promotion of GJobs Data Service being promoted recently on the web and decided to take a quick look at it because the Safelist ads claimed that they offer a $5.00 sign up bonus for joining. If you look at their main home page, you won’t see the sign up bonus advertised. This is unusual to me. Why even offer a sign up bonus if you’re not going to promote it? If you click on the “Join Now” button, you’ll see the $5.00 sign up bonus promotion.

Anyway, I’m writing this post to warn you that GJobs Data Service doesn’t look too stable in my opinion. How can they claim to offer 5 cents per click to their affiliates? Boy are they in for some trouble.  I tried doing that with my affiliate program and affiliates put their referral links in all kinds of scripted rotators and such. I had one idiot earn over $80.00 in one day because he simply put his affiliate link in a frame that would open up every time another site would open up. My point is, GJobs Data Service will be out of business in no time if this is the case. Or they will be deleting a whole lot of abusive affiliates.

Another thing that really bothers me about GJobs Data Service is that their website looks like a kid designed it yet they claim to have been in business since 1999. You’re telling me 10 years have passed and you don’t even know how to put padding between your text and css backgrounds?

Take a good look at their earner’s recent checks as well in the side bar. $2,000 and $3,000 checks and no real proof. I am an affiliate and since I put my referral link on my sign up bonus list I’ve gotten two clicks. This means I’ve earned 10 cents so far. So it seems all is well so far. By the way, you need to earn at least $50.00 in order to get paid.

Like I say with any sign up bonus site. Take advantage of the free stuff, don’t ever upgrade or buy referrals and focus too much time in any one site because it could disappear at anytime. I believe GJobs Data Service to be very fishy and it could very well possibly be a scam because I’ve seen something similar to this that ended up disappearing. Nonetheless, it is free to join and try, so decide for yourself on whether or not you want to be serious with the Data Service Company.

Take a look at some more affiliate program sign up bonuses and let me know what you think of them.

Now I know this Blog isn’t a diet blog, but it is a money making blog. I’ve found a method that works for me in controlling how much food I eat a day and the quality of that food. So what you’ll learn after reading this article is how to save a little bit of time and money in how you eat, where you eat, and how long it takes out of your day to eat.

Some of what I say you may completely agree with, other stuff you might think to be crap, but you know what they say, take everything with a grain of salt, right? Just a quick disclaimer to make the FTC happy, Subway and Kashi did not pay me in any way to write about them. Everything I say about them is an opinion free of endorsement.

Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get to the point at hand. What is the diet? Well, let me first point out some basic things first that I’ve learned from hardcore dieters. We all know that it is recommended to eat at least 6 times a day. We should eat essentially, 3 meals (about the size of our fist) and 3 snacks a day. You also want to make sure you are getting all the food groups in your daily diet as well. Always drink plenty of water. On top of all this, you want to make sure you are eating only naturally whole foods and that you try your best to stay away from these three ingredients mostly found in processed foods:

• High Fructose Corn Syrup.
• Hydrogenated Oils.
• Trans Fat.

Now that I’ve laid out the basic rules, let’s get to the diet. Starting off with Kashi products. Why do I like Kashi products?

• They are all natural products.
• They usually contain a good amount of fiber and protein.
• They are easy to carry with you at all times.
• They don’t go bad, meaning they won’t expire for awhile.
• You can choose from a whole lot of flavored cereals and granola bars.

OK, so the first meal of the day will be half a bowl of Kashi cereal starting off whenever you wake up, usually around 6-7am on a normal working day.

Then of course, you’ll want to snack around 9-10am. I usually have a Kashi granola bar if I don’t have an apple or other piece of fruit to snack on.

For lunch, as I mentioned earlier, I go to Subway and get only a foot-long sub for the second meal of the day. You’ve probably heard this before, instead of eating the whole sub, I only eat half and save the other half for dinner. Depending on what sub you get, you are essentially getting most of your food groups for the day here. You can get any sub that you’d like to, but I pretty much always get the turkey sub. Here’s what I put on it:

• Foot-long on wheat.
• Turkey (covers the meat family for the day).
• Cheese (covers the milk family for the day).
• Lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, onions, pickles, cucumbers, green peppers (more than covers the vegetable family for the day).
• Then I top if off with mustard and black pepper (this gives it more flavor and mustard isn’t bad for you like dressing is).
• Instead of buying a soda at Subway, I just keep a diet soda either on me or at home to eat with the sub. I’ll also have almonds or another Kashi bar instead of chips as well. I’ll do this for both lunch and dinner. I find that a can of diet soda fills me up more than water, but I drink plenty of water throughout the day.

After that, around 3-4pm, I will eat another snack. Try to get fruit like apple, orange, or grapes, but if those aren’t around you can always have another Kashi bar or nuts.

Of course, the third meal, dinner will be the second half of the Subway sandwich. I keep the other half in my fridge at home wrapped up nicely so it’s good to go. Along with the Subway sandwich I’ll have a can of diet soda and either nuts or another Kashi bar.

You guessed it, the final snack can be fruit, nuts, or another Kashi bar if you don’t have the latter available.

Is this recommended as something to do everyday? Of course not. There is no way this could possibly turn into an everyday diet for anyone. But it can very easily be a routine diet on your normal, standard daily living. This is if you live and work near a Subway, which I do. Otherwise, you might want to make the sandwiches yourself if you’re not lazy like me.

If you do this diet, you are spending about $6.00 a day at Subway. That equals $6 x 30 days = $180.00 a month. What do you need to buy at the grocery store? Here a few suggestions, but you are free to buy to fit your current needs:

• Diet soda.
• Purified water and lowfat milk
• Kashi cereal.
• Kashi granola bars
• Fruit – grapes, strawberries, blue berries, raspberries, apples, oranges, etc..
• Nuts – almonds, non-salted peanuts.

Since you’ll be getting all your meat and vegetables needed for the day with your Subway sandwich, you won’t need to buy any of that at the grocery store. You’ll just need to make sure you get fruit and other protein and fiber rich foods. The above will cost you about another $50.00 to $100.00 a month. Man, it’s not easy or cheap eating healthy. This will keep your monthly eating expenses at around $300.00 a month. Plus you will only have to eat out once a day and go grocery shopping once every two weeks or so which will save you gas money as well.

Wow, that was a lot of writing. To quickly recap, let’s go over the six meals a day:

1. Half bowl of Kashi cereal for breakfast.
2. Fruit, nuts, or Kashi bar for snack.
3. First half of Subway sandwich plus diet beverage and snack for lunch (lunch should be your biggest meal of the day).
4. Fruit, nuts, or Kashi bar for snack.
5. Second half of Subway sandwich plus diet beverage and snack for dinner.
6. Fruit, nuts, or Kashi bar for final snack.

Would love to know your opinion of this diet or any room for improvements you may have to offer.
