Bodog Online Sports Betting

Sunday, December 24th, 2006 by Ash Gilpin

I just signed up the other day with Bodog.com, an online gambling site that lets you place bets on sports teams, casino games or whatever your fancy.  I have a few friends that have been using the service for some time now - one with fairly moderate success and the other - well, it has been the equivalent of a year’s salary.

I started off today by doing several parlay bets.  Now, I have never been much of a sports fan, but when you get money on the line - oh boy!  I was yelling at the TV and cursing at the refs.  Good stuff.  Unfortunately, I didn’t do well in my bets for today; however, I only risked $5.  So, not like I am out much.  On the bright side, I could have been up $125 off a $5 bet (greater the risk, greater the reward).

Anywho, if you have ever been interested in applying your sports knowledge to supplement your income - Bodog.com could be the place for you.  They will even pay you 10% on any deposit you make for extra incentive.  I started with $300 and then they gave me $30 deposit bonus (10%).  Not a bad deal.

If you would like to set up an account and get a 10% deposit bonus, you can do so by clicking here.  Enjoy!

John Chow Dot Com

Friday, December 22nd, 2006 by Ash Gilpin

Now here is a true blogger.  On www.johnchow.com you will find many interesting articles on investing, technology and the internet in general.  Many of his posts offer some pretty insightful material into the Dot Com industry.  You will find useful information on making money from the internet, new web sites getting a lot of buzz in the industry, computer product reviews and much more.

I personally have gained a lot of experience in overall internet marketing from posts found on www.johnchow.com.  An example would be how John will review a new service that may be getting a lot of a buzz and then he will take you step by step through the process of signing up to making money.  He will also compare and contrast that service with others in the industry to give you an idea of how it ranks amongst the competition along with his two cents on whether it is worth pursuing.

If you are like me and would like to learn how to start making money off the internet, be sure to check out some of these postings that I came across on John’s site:

Stock Market Blog.com - One Man’s Journey To Make A Million Dollars

Monday, December 11th, 2006 by Ash Gilpin

A friend of mine told me about this site, www.stockmarketblog.com.  I really likes the publisher’s overall objective of blogging about his daily stock investing habits and his goal of turning $20,000 into $1,000,000.  Going through some of his archived postings, I see he is currently up.  I find that his approach is not really all that aggressive.  He buys a stock and waits for it to go up 15-20 cents and then sells.  This isn’t his approach on every stock; however, I have seen a consistency.  Anyways, he’s up and his method apparently seems to be working for him; however, a little slower than I’d like to see.  I, myself, am quite the beginner at stock trading.  I started investing heavily in Movie Gallery (MOVI) months back while the stock was gaining ground only to see it slip out from under my fingers from the reportings of a poor quarter.  However, the stock is back on the rise.  Let’s hope I can recoup what I’ve put into it.  And maybe, just maybe I’ll come out on top with some profit.

Anyways, I plan on keeping my eye on Stock Market Blog to see if I can repeat a steady consistency of stock market earnings like I have seen exhibited on that blog.

Getting Paid To Surf The Web - Update On AGLOCO

Friday, December 8th, 2006 by Ash Gilpin

There has been some mention on the internet about how AGLOCO’s upcoming Viewbar is spyware. AGLOCO’s chief internet privacy officer recently discussed at length about these comments, a couple of which we want to reiterate here:

Spyware entails the following characteristics: 1) It’s installed without your permission; 2) It surreptitiously tracks you; 3) it is difficult if not impossible to turn off or remove; and, 4) it sends your information to an unknown and untrustworthy entity where you have no control over what happens to it.

Simply put, AGLOCO’s Viewbar does none of the above. Why?

1) You have to actively install the Viewbar; 2) You have to turn it on in order for it to track your surfing habits and earn your hours; 3) You can easily turn it off and uninstall it at will; and, 4) your info is backed up by perhaps the best Privacy Policy out on the net, which gives you explicit information about what happens with your data and how you can delete it from our system if you desire.

There are a lot of questions about when the Viewbar will be released. The Viewbar is currently in closed beta testing to make absolutely sure that it is fully functioning before its release to all Members. However, it will be released to people in the order they have signed up, so the earlier your referrals sign up the earlier you will start earning when the Viewbar is released. So best to have your friends sign up early :)

Give AGLOCO a try, you can sign up here - it’s completely FREE.
