McAfee Site Advisor

I've just installed McAfee Site Advisor as an add-on to my web browser. I believe it's a handy tool to give me added protection while surfing the web. Anyone who surfs the web is at risk of contracting malwares just by visiting malicious websites. Add to that the fake and phishing sites.

When you do a search using popular search engines, browse websites, email, chat or do any transaction online, McAfee Site Advisor displays their safety rating about the website you are visiting. This lets you avoid suspicious sites or any site known to be harboring bad stuff.

McAfee Site Advisor is free, without ads, easy to install and has proven effective for me. It's another layer of protection beyond my firewall, anti-virus and anti-spyware.

Be safe from online threats. Try this free add-on.

It Has Been A Good Month

April was a good month for me at SWATcash. I earned more than $200 for doing offers, clicking ads, being active in the World Map, referring other members and winning contests in the forum.

SWATcash is very generous towards its members. There's never a dull moment at the site and there are always lots of games and contests going on.

For this month of May the big contest is going to be a Scavenger Hunt where iPods, game consoles and other special prizes will be given away. I am hoping to win something, hopefully a Wii.

I am expecting my April payment in the middle of this month. I am going to post a screen shot of it as soon as it gets into my Paypal account.

Extra Cash While Having Fun

There are scores of sites out there that try to combine fun with a chance to earn. There are also gaming sites where players take the action off-line and make real money off their virtual merchandise like Second Life and various MMORPG. Well, I found one that can let you earn extra cash or earn a Nintendo Wii , PSP, PS3, XBox, iPod and a lot more through PTC, cash-back shopping, and participating in offers combined with an interesting RPG-like game. Most offers are for those in the U.S. (so they earn more) but everybody is welcome to join.

I have to admit I enjoy RPG games and this one has turned out to be addicting as well. Most of what I've earned in this site, I used to upgrade my attack and defense ratings which could help me earn more. I could play the game just for fun but then again whatever cash I earn is a nice bonus. Because my work is online, I can play the game whenever I want (and that's all the time).

It's free to join and very entertaining. Check out the site here and let's all have fun and earn as well.

Busy Month

This has been a relatively busy month for me. I had lots of transcription work assignments in addition to my usual forum posting and occasional 'virtual assistant' tasks. My sister gifted me with a noise-cancelling headphone which I use when transcribing audio files and it has been a big help to me. However, I can only transcribe one hour of audio per day as my head starts to pound after that, not to mention my fingers getting tired. Add to that my responsibility to prepare food for my family and take care of my kids.

I'm not complaining. I'm happy to do whatever work God has blessed me with but I did turn down one assignment which required for me to work during weekend. I would have gotten a good pay for it but spending time with my family was more important. I do not regret my decision at all.

I believe I'm improving in my transcription work. I now type faster and more accurately. Here's hoping I'll get more good projects coming my way.

Virtual Assistant

I learned new things as a virtual assistant. This is one type of work that could really exhaust your skills and talents. You are expected to do lots of things -- article writing, copywriting, data entry, transcribe audio files, forum posting and more.

I had a crash course in how to write titles and description tags for web pages for SEO. I did a pretty good work with what was assigned to me, if I may say so myself. Generally, it was not a hard task but keeping the title or description to a desired number of characters could be challenging more so if you are expected to include certain keywords.

One thing I'd like to learn is how to effectively do postings at Craigslist. Most of the virtual assistant work I've come across with seem to require this skill. I really don't know if there's any special technique or whatever that I need to learn for this type of thing. I prefer doing "real" work but I guess to some this is real enough.

New Monitor

I got myself a relatively new (new to me) 17" CRT monitor from a surplus shop. I would have preferred an lcd monitor but I don't have the budget for it right now. It's more fun to view sites with a bigger screen. My kids enjoy the better the graphics in the games they are playing online.

Now, if my 15" monitor will be fixed, as well as my husband's 17" CRT monitor, there will be 2 extra monitors here at home. What are we supposed to do with the extra monitors? They are more likely to end up as dust collectors so we're planning to either sell or give them away to our church.

I'm in a sort of vacation mode right now after acting as a surrogate mother for my niece for a week. I still do some odd jobs here and there but I have more free time now to do some household chores and play Scrabble on the computer. Hopefully by next week I'll land myself a new online job. I don't want to get too lazy.
