How to Make Money on New Marketplace

I'm really excited to be telling you about a recently launched new marketplace that will help your readers save money, and as an affiliate can help you make money whenever your readers make purchases.

Every Day is Black Friday

InfiniteBuyer.com is a revolutionary new marketplace where you get to ‘name your own price’ on any item on the site. Yes, kind of like Priceline…but for everything else other than travel services. Imagine if you could create your own coupon, or discount anytime you want. How much would you offer for a brand new leather jacket? Go there and find out if you can get it at a Black Friday like sale price.

Infinite Buyer is not an auction or reverse auction, but a buyer-offer driven site that enables consumers to negotiate for the prices they want to pay. This is a major improvement to online shopping that could really change online shopping by empowering consumers to get what they want, when they want it, at the price they are willing to pay. Some are saying this could be as large as, or larger, than eBay.

"Empowering Consumers"

Shoppers love Infinite Buyer because when you get to name your own price, you save money and time. Imagine no more driving around town or scouring the internet looking for the best price. You offer a price you’re willing to pay and make your own best deal with each merchant instantly. Why pay fixed price or retail ever again? Read this blog post why this will never be necessary again.

Affiliate Program Details

As a blogger who is interested in being an affiliate, and has an audience who likes to get great deals all the time, this is your chance to make a 10% revenue share on everything that your community buys. And as a special bonus for my readers, for any of your referred readers from your own blog that register at Infinite Buyer by March 30, 2014, your commission period for those consumers doubles from one year to two full years on anything they purchase.


How to Make Money as an Affiliate

It’s pretty easy to make money with our program.

• You promote your unique Infinite Buyer Affiliate link to your readers on your blog, Facebook page, Twitter account, LinkedIn account, and other social media sites or email.

• Then when your readers click on your unique Affiliate link, they are automatically signed up under your name, and anytime they make any purchase over the next 12 months, you get a percentage of their entire transaction.


How is Infinite Buyer Better Than Other Affiliate Programs?

• 12 Months: Most other affiliate programs have a short timeframe from when your referred customer clicks on your affiliate link, and when they make their purchase. For example, Amazon will not pay you if your referred customer takes more than 24 to put the product in their cart. Infinite Buyer pays you on any product your referred customer buys within a year, it doesn’t matter how long it takes to get into the cart.

• Any Product: Many other affiliate programs you have to pick a product that you want to promote and manage a separate link for each product, and even if the customer you refer buys other products at that same website, you may only get paid for the product you promoted. Infinite Buyer pays you on every product your referred customer buys from us.

• Entire Transaction: Most affiliate programs will only pay you on the subtotal of the product costs; however, Infinite Buyer pays on the entire transaction, including shipping costs.


How Do I Get Started as an Infinite Buyer Affiliate?

2. Get Your Affiliate link

3. Promote your affiliate link


How Do I Find My Affiliate link?

• Note: Do not use the “Referral Link” on your main account page – that’s for a different system.

How To Be At Peace With Becoming Empty Nesters When The Kids Move Away

One of the hardest days in the life of a parent is the day that the child leaves home. After spending about two decades caring for the child’s every need, the absence of the child from the home will leave a large void and a happy home may suddenly feel barren. While the transition to becoming an empty nest parent can be difficult, there are many things that parents can do to find peace in this new phase of life.

Start a New Chapter

An adult child leaving home will be beginning a new chapter in his or her life and a parent should do the same. A parent should consider rekindling an interest in old hobbies or look for something new to try. While many people set aside their weekly golf games or dreams of running a marathon when children arrive, there is no reason not to pursue those things now that the child is gone. A parent who left the workforce to raise a child should also consider returning to work, regardless of the financial need to work.

Focus on Relationships

Many marriages fall apart after a child leaves home. This is generally due to the couple neglecting their marriage while raising a child. Once the child is gone, the parents realize that their old feelings for each other are gone or greatly changed. By setting aside some time each week to spend together, empty nest parents can strengthen their relationship and avoid the pitfalls that cause divorce in other marriages. Parents should also reconnect with friends that they may not have had time to visit in the past.

New Role

Regardless of where a child lives, he or she will always have a need for parents. An empty nest parent should not think that their child is gone, but rather that the relationship has changed. In fact, the change in relationship should not be looked upon with sadness; it should be looked upon with pride as an indication that the parent has succeeded in raising a child that is capable of caring for his or her own needs. As a child becomes an adult, a parent will still be a needed friend, confidant and advisor, even if the parent is not needed every minute of the day.

Financial Protection

When a child leaves home he or she will be exposed to financial risks that the parents used to cover. For example, a child living at home has protection against theft of property from a parent’s home insurance policy. However, a child moving away to an apartment or rental house will no longer be covered by a parent’s policy. A parent can work to protect their child and gain peace of mind by educating them on the need for renter’s insurance to cover both personal property and liability concerns. A parent can also help to educate an adult child on keeping an adequate amount of car insurance, life insurance and other needed coverage.

By working to fill the free time in his or her schedule and being supportive of an adult child who has moved away, an empty nest parent can reduce the sadness that many parents face when that car pulls out of the driveway. Rather than looking on the child leaving as the ending of a relationship, it should be looked upon as a beginning of a new life for both the parent and the child.

New Years Resolution: Clean Out That Bulky Handbag!

It's the New Year and with it comes resolutions.  One typical resolution is to get organized.  One are that seems to need constant attention and organization is - my purse.  You can use some of the following strategies to put together an organized purse that has everything neatly in its place.  Put the days of digging around for your keys or lip-gloss be far behind you and become an organization maven!

Dump It All Out - Obviously, you can't get anywhere until you know where you are at.  So, laying it all out on the table is a good first step. Dumping the contents of your purse in its current state can help you access how much needs to be altered, discarded and where you need to make changes. This may seem overwhelming at first, but any organization project always looks most chaotic at the start.

Purge - The next step is to purge.  You may feel that this is the hardest step of all as it means letting go of some items. Of course, some of the items you throw out are truly trash-- like empty mint tins, broken combs and gum wrappers.  Some items, like coin purses or mirrors that don't snap shut - should be thrown out or re-purposed.  Aim to keep the things that are useful and that you enjoy.

Organize - Now we are to the organization part!  This is where you streamline the contents of your purse for easy access. Take inventory and see how you can compartmentalize each item for ease of use. Check out purse organizers like the Pouchee for ideas. Place small items in zipped bags/makeup bags.  Place items like loose cosmetics in these bags.  Slip your phone into a pocket and clip your keys on a ring. Make sure there is a spot for everything in your purse, so that you can always reach each item you need.

Simplify - Simplifying is in the same vein as organizing. Here, you need to cull items in your purse, keeping everything as basic as possible. Do you really need four lip-glosses? Do you need two types of gum? Are there items that have no business in your purse, like scissors or loose jewelry? Put those things where they go - not your purse. Odds and ends are only going to weigh you down, so don't let your purse become a catchall.

Thin Your Wallet - Finally, pay attention to what is going on with your wallet. The wallet is one of the most crucial parts of the purse, as it contains so many important pieces. As such, it can often become over packed, messing up your entire purse organization. Instead, look for thin, sleek wallets, which keep your items maintained and look stylish to boot. This type of wallet can be found at a number of retailers, and is a great way to simplify your purse organization.

Getting organized is easier than it sounds, especially when it comes to the purse, which is a small area that can be easy to control if you have the right strategies. These tricks can help you streamline your handbag and cut down on those stressful moments where you can't find your wallet, phone or keys.

Eight Things You Should Know About Before Selling Your Jewelry

I'm always on the hunt for different ways to bring in extra money.  I routinely go through the house and find items I don't want or don't use - and sell them.  I sell items online and to consignment stores.  The kids and I always come up with a fun plan for the little bit of extra cash we bring in this way.  I've learned that you always need to know the value of what you're selling.  When you decide to sell gold and jewelry, the possible extra money that may come in can be very exciting. However, getting too excited about the prospects and rushing out to sell your jewelry at the nearest store can be a huge mistake that may result in significant financial losses. Hopefully, the following tips will allow you to get the most out of your jewelry and gold so that you know you are making the right decision.

Keep It Local

It can be tempting to use a mail service that sends you a check when you ship them your jewelry.  We've all seen these commercials. They offer many guarantees in addition to a fast turnaround. However, going local is your best bet. You should also avoid single day events housed in hotels and malls. Selling locally gives you the advantage of being able to look into whether or not a vendor is trusted, licensed, and registered in order to ensure that the services are secure.

Do Business in Person

Do not rely on quotes that you receive over the phone from dealers. They may give much higher prices than they are willing to pay just to get customers in the door. Once you are actually attempting to finalize the transaction, the price may be dramatically lower.  If they haven't actually seen the piece - how can they give a fair estimate?

Explore Your Options

As with most major purchases shop the product around before making any final decisions. Visit many different buyers in person with the jewelry in hand so that you can get an accurate price to contrast and compare. You can also get a good idea of their legitimacy based on the amount of pressure that they put on you to sell immediately.

Know Your Jewelry

Do the necessary research to find out the value of relevant metals, stones, gems and weights in gold. Precious metals are bought and sold using troy ounce measurements. The more information you have going into the transaction - the better your chances of getting the absolute best deal possible.

Purity Counts

When dealing with gold jewelry specifically, it is critical to know the pureness of the gold itself. A 24 Karat piece is as pure as possible. If the current market price of gold is $1,400 per ounce, then that should be the price you receive on 24K pieces. As the Karat reduces, so does the price. Note that Karat testing and other evaluations for jewels should all be carried out in front of you!

Be an Observer

According to the laws in most states, a seller must weigh gold and evaluate jewelry directly in front of the customer. The items must also be weighed individually to ensure accuracy. The scales used for weighing must be certified by the state. Certification requires a current sticker that is certified by the Office of Weights and Measurements.

You Can Never Be Too Careful

Even after the transaction is done, get a complete sales recipe from the vendor. This receipt should include detailed information on the transaction in the case of a later dispute. Among the information that should be present is the name and address of the buyer, the date, the metals included, weights, and prices paid.

With this knowledge on your side and a commitment to take the proper precautions, you can sell your jewelry with little worry when it comes to getting the most value out of your precious jewels. The market is good and your payoff can be substantial when you plan ahead of time.

Be Prepared for Winter Weather and Low Temperatures

Though I love winter along with all of the snow and cold that it brings - I wasn't quite ready for it to be so cold. The snow outside is beautiful but the temperatures dropped to below freezing!

This means staying inside where it is warm and foregoing building a snow man. At least for now. The kids aren't exactly happy about that. However, when you have to bundle up to check the mailbox that's attached to your house: it's just too cold! When we heard that temperatures would dip to dangerous levels - we set into action. We prepared our home to deal with the weather. We gathered items that would be necessary if our power and heat source went out. We checked our supply of non-perishable food and made sure that we had plenty of water should the pipes freeze.

“Dangerously low temperatures are in the forecast and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) wants individuals and families to be safe when faced with the hazards of cold temperatures.

“Subfreezing temperatures can be dangerous and even life-threatening for people who don't take the proper precautions,” said Andrew Velasquez III, FEMA Regional Administrator. “It is important for everyone to monitor their local weather reports and take steps now to stay safe during times of extreme cold temperatures.”



During cold weather, you should take the following precautions:

• Stay indoors as much as possible and limit your exposure to the cold;

• Dress in layers and keep dry;

• Keep your devices charged;

• Check on family, friends, and neighbors who are at risk and may need additional assistance;

• Know the symptoms of cold-related health issues such as frostbite and hypothermia and seek medical attention if health conditions are severe;

• Bring your pets indoors or ensure they have a warm shelter area with unfrozen water;

• Make sure your vehicle has an emergency kit that includes an ice scraper, blanket and flashlight – and keep the fuel tank above half full.
