Stay at Home Business 101: Get Paid to Click

One of the easiest ways to earn online staying at home is by joining Get Paid To Click (PTC) sites. It's free and it is so easy, sometimes you can get bored doing it.

With PTC sites, you get paid to click and view ads within a time frame. The pay range is from $o.o2 - $0.0001 per ad viewed depending on the view time, the PTC site and your membership level (there are paid upgrades which pay more). After reaching the minimum cashout, you can request your payment through Paypal or Alertpay.

To start with, you need your computer - internet connection with internet security in place, new email account (use Gmail) and Paypal / Alertpay accounts ready. These are bare necessities before you can sign-up for some PTC programs.

Now, join at least 5-10 PTC sites. It would take about 30 minutes to 1 hour to do your daily clicking from these sites. If 1 hour is not enough, you have joined too much. That's alright, if you have plenty of time to spare.

I am listing below some of the PTC sites I joined. These are, in my humble opinion, trusted and paying though some are fairly new. I did some background investigation of these sites by looking at the forums and at other sites that reviews good PTCs. There are many PTCs out there that turnout to be scams also. So, be wary.

I have chosen those which give the best value for your time (meaning $0.01-$0.002 per click for Free members) and with low minimum cashout. I hope you will sign-up through my affiliate links. I get to earn some from referrals and so would you if you refer somebody to the program.

Neobux - Minimum cashout: $2

Mic Promotion - Minimum Cashout: $2
Bux Wiz -Minimum Cashout: $2
TuiBux - Minimum Cashout: $2
Beachbux - Minimum Cashout: $2
Qualitybux - Minimum Cashouut: $2

There are still many trusted PTCs out there, but I'll post them next time plus my payment proofs when I have them.

Potty Training

Yahoo! At last, my 4th child, Janel - 2 yrs 9 months old, is now potty trained. YES!

Janel has not been wearing any diaper during the daytime since 2 years old (she doesn't want to) and even at night time since 2 1/2 years old. What a great savings on money paid to diapers.

The problem is she can pass urine in the potty but she always poops in her underwear. We've been encouraging her to sit down on the potty, when she feels like poops ready. But she always messes up.

About 3 weeks ago, she had very loose bowel movement and made a lot of mess on the bed. She cried that time. But that was a turning point for her. Since then, she has been pooping in the potty. We always praise her for her big accomplishment. Even she praises herself for a job well done.

After having potty trained 4 children, here are some tips on how to potty train your child:
1. Start by giving your child his own potty chair.
2. Let your child see you or his father using the toilet. It was easier for my younger children to be potty trained because they see their older brother or sister doing it.
3. Let him sit on the potty chair fully clothed just to have a feel of it.
4. Gradually, let him sit without a nappy.
5. When he soils or wets his nappy, sit him gently on the chair after cleaning him while you get fresh things.
6. Once he is interested, let him sit 2 or 3 times a day.
7. When I have a hint that he is about to pee or poop, I ask him and sit him on the potty.
8. Lastly, don't pressure or scold the child. Children who are pressured into early training tend to be bedwetters and soiling than those children who develop at their own pace. Praise every success.

Just keep doing these tips and you'll have success at potty training your child.

What Your Hair Says About You

I got short, layered cut hair. It's a bit boyish but I like it because it projects simplicity, which is really me. It makes me move with ease while I work around the house especially when caring for my baby. I don't have to worry about my hair landing on her face.

When is it time to change my hairstyle? I'm not sure, maybe when I feel it's time. Join the conversation at dNeero's about "What Your Hair Says About You?"

When you know it's time to change your style, we bet it's because of how you're feeling ... and don't tell me that that the shaved look in the military doesn't have as much or more to do with fitting in, and it does with functionality. How important is our hair? Do a search for 'hair' in Bing.com (Microsoft's new search engine) and you'll be loaded with 249 million pages ... search for 'shoes' and you'll only get 152 million pages ... it ain't scientific, but it sure is suggestive.

Baby's First Foods

Angeline is now almost 5 months old. She has been eating her first solid foods for the past 3 weeks once a day in small amounts. She had already eaten rice cereal, lugaw (rice congee), pureed camote (sweet potato), and pureed potato. But breastmilk is still her most important primary food.

Here are some tips for feeding the baby her first solids foods according to the Baby and Toddler Food book published by Konemann:

• Rice cereal is the best choice for the first solid food as it is easy to digest. Dilute it with breast milk, cooled boiled water or formula.
  

• The cereal should not be runny and you may have more success by making it quite thick. Half fill a very small spoon and do not give her more than a couple of spoons at these early feeds.

• The best time to try first solids is at the mid-morning feed when the baby is settled and in a cooperative mood.

• Serve food at room temperature. Always check the temperature before serving.
  

• The baby's swallowing has been associated with sucking until now. So she may cough, splutter, spit out at the first try of feeding. Be very patient and give very small amounts each time.

• Do not keep leftover food for the next meal - if any saliva has touched the food, bacteria may grow.

• Once your baby is enjoying cereal, she can try small amounts of pureed fruit and vegetables. Mash the boiled vegetables with a fork or push them through a sieve and then dilute with little boiled water or formula.

• Fresh fish can be given when the baby is over 6 months. Remove the skins and bones carefully.

• Baby has no craving for sugar, salt and cream so think of her future eating habits and don't add extra sweetness or fat.
