Woohoo, I'm doing a little money dance! I do believe the invitation I received today to participate in the HammeRuler conversation will put me over the $20.00 mark. So, I am excited about the possibility of being paid within the next five days and doing a little dancing. I have no reason to believe that I won't be paid but I just want to make it clear to anyone reading my dNeero postings and earnings that I have not been officially paid as of yet! I'm still excited though! I'm am so close to answering the big question? Does dNeero pay or is it a SCAM! I'm sure all my readers are as anxious as I am. Today's conversation was about the HammeRuler. I have never heard of it before today. Just looking at the picture and reading a very brief description, "The HammeRuler is built on the notion of Short-Measure Acceleration (SMA). By cutting down on tool switching time when doing short measures, the HammeRuler makes you more efficient. You probably don't realize how much time you spend putting down your hammer to pick up your ruler." The idea seems good enough but the first question that popped into my head is how long could the markings possibly remain visible on the hammer? I decided to see if I could find out more about the HammeRuler because it was driving me crazy! My one question make me ponder quite a few more. I wanted to know does it come with a protective sleeve or it super laminated? How much does it cost? I couldn't find a thing about it, other than other dNeero conversationalists sharing their results. So, I guess I will have to wait and wonder when I will see this product shown on tv!

Last but not least are my stats, like I mentioned at the beginning of the post, the conversation should be the last one I need to complete and share before I receive a payment. My current balance $19.13 and I have a pending balance of $0.97. It will bring my total to $20.10 in about five days. Definitely enough to get paid! Woohoo! Yes, I am still dancing with excitement and anticipation.

The conversation about customer service initiated on Dneero True Social Currency is still ongoing. Today I receive the invitation for the third part. It's exciting and fun! I'm really liking the new change from plain old surveys to conversations. It's interesting to see what other people are asking about customer service.Last time I shared a customer service story when I posted the results of my last dNeero customer service conversation. Today, I thought I would share a funny customer service story. One evening an elderly gentleman came in and needed assistance finding toenail clippers. I walked him over to the nail care products and showed him the selection of toenail clippers we had. Well, he said he already tried cutting his nails with those kinds of toenail clippers. He said the toenail clippers broke when he tried cutting his nails. I found this a little strange but kept my composure as I listened to this man describe his toenail cutting dilemma. I have been using toenail clippers for years and I couldn't fathom the thought of breaking a toenail clipper in the process! So, after hearing his story and his inability to cut his toenails without breaking the toenail clippers, I suggested he try using the toenail cutters instead. I explained the toenail clippers seemed much sturdier and looked similar to wire cutters. At this point, he said, "No ma'am, I already tried cutting my toenails with those and even tried the wire cutters and they both broke! There I stood staring at this man about ready to burst out in laughter. I didn't want to be rude and I really did want him to be able cut his toenails without breaking anything....but the more he described the condition of his toenails and what pains he went through to cut them, I found it more and more difficult not to laugh. I didn't make it because he told me in a nice slow Southern drawl, "ma'am, I do apologize for taking up your time, but I think you better just send in the direction of your hardware section and see what I kind find over there to get these toenails cut. I started laughing, I couldn't help it. I apologized of course, but he realized how funny the situation was. I suggested instead of just sitting down and cutting his toenails, he should soak his feet in a bucket of hot water and a teaspoon of olive oil for about 20 minutes. This would soften his toenails and make them much easier to cut. He was a very nice guy and he started to laugh when I told him, if he was looking for a something other than toenail clippers or wire cutters to cut his nails, he might want to check out the selection of pruning shears in the gardening department! He was impressed with my idea and headed off to the garden shop. He stopped by again on his way out to say thanks for help, it had been a pleasure and he was pretty certain the pruning shears would work! Customer service is a breeze if you can remember to treat people with courtesy and respect. I always loved working in the retail industry because it gave me the opportunity to meet new people on a daily basis. I always found my job entertaining because I never knew what kind of person I would be meeting and every once in awhile I would meet someone who I found totally amusing. Here's the latest results of my customer service conversation, enjoy and feel free to join in the conversation.

Every time you participate in a conversation, you have the potential to earn some money or donate your earnings to charity. So far, I have accumulated $16.47 and I have a pending balance of $0.97 which will be added to my account as soon as I received the requirement of receiving impressions on my surveys for at least 5 of 10 days. I'm trying something a little different with sharing my results. Instead of leaving a MYSPACE comment on my friends profile, I am leaving the results of my latest dNeero conversation. Join in the conversation and start having fun and make some money! Hope to see you there. Any questions or comments be sure to drop me a comment!

Over the last couple of months I have been using my social networking profile pages to promote my affiliate programs and my blogs. I have always viewed my profile page as an absolutely free and permanent piece of advertising space on the internet. It works well, I do manage to get some visitors to my blogs and people signing up in my affiliate programs. My problem is my earnings in the Google AdSense revenue sharing social networks have really diminished lately with the exception of one, Dada. What's interesting about Dada is even with out logging in on a daily basis, I still earn daily with Google AdSense. Guaranteed, the Dada social network has a lot of members but it also has a lot of content. My Dada profile made me realize I was ignoring the earning potential on my other Google AdSense revenue sharing programs. Here's a few profiles of some of my friends in the Lazzeo business social networking community. If you can spare a minute, please visit their profiles. Please pay close attention to the Google ads and the content appearing on their profile page.

In most of the profiles above, you will notice the majority of Google ads appearing are basically all the same. Most of ads appearing are for other social networks or dating services. What I found interesting is WiseWilliam's tag line appearing above his photo, it simply says "I'm Building A Website To Sell Nursing Scrubs, Medical Scrubs, Medical Uniforms, College Scrubs, NFL Scrubs,". Interesting because this one tag line changed his google ads into something other than social networking and dating sites. CatAnna has done something very interesting with her profile. Not only has she added some content to the various sections on her profile page, but she also added some links within her content sending people to her other websites. What I am sure you noticed is the huge amount of banners present on most of these profiles and very limited content, just like mine was and still is kind of.
My Tweaking Plan
Step 1 - Create a new tag line. The tag line should represent you or your interests. Choosing the right words can have a definite effect on the ads appearing on your profile page. Experiment and find the best tag line for. My status -Already completed but I may change it. Step 2 - Eliminate a large portion of the banners currently appearing on most of the sections of my profile page and replace it with a few paragraphs. Make it a point to add some referral links within the content. My status- Almost completed, still have a few more sections to change. I'm really not sure if I am going to eliminate all my banners. I will definitely be experimenting and see what happens. Step 3 - Sign up to AdBrite, set up an ad to run on my profile page. There are currently four spots to embed your sponsored ads. However, according to Google's TOS (terms of service) you can only run 3 Google ads on any website. Some other options you have for the fourth ad spot would be any banner from an affiliate program, a google referral ad, or an ad from another network. I decided to use AdBrite in my fourth ad space. I also chose the full page ad option. My status- completed this step. Step 4 - Post a bulletin or a blog at least once a week. My status - have not completed. Step 5 - Make it a point to visit a least 10 profiles a day and leave a comment. This shouldn't require too much time. My status - haven't left any comments on St. Patrick's Day but I will be dropping comments all this week to get some Lazzeo volunteers to help with this experiment and get some feed back. Step 6 - Create a Lazzeo Tweak Group - the purpose is to involve other members, ask them to participate and share their ideas and opinions as well as their personal results.
Lazzeo Community - Where the users EARN! Get Involved!
This plan is only a theory at this point in time. There is absolutely no guarantee my earnings will increase by implementing the steps I listed above. I am basing my hopes of earning more on the simple fact that everything I have read states "content is king". If that's the case, then increasing the amount of content on my website instead of the number of banners, my chances of getting better quality ads should increase too or not! This is phase one, getting my idea out there and putting the wheels in motion. Now, I'm off to finish tweaking my profile page at Lazzeo, create my group and find myself some volunteers.

If you have been following my blog posts, you know I have been completing and sharing the results of the dNeero social surveys. In order to earn money for completing these surveys, I have to complete the entire survey and I must share my results with others. I actually have 10 days to qualify for payment. The way it works is simple. I complete the survey, post my results and over the next 10 days, I need to receive impressions on at least 5 of the days. I am happy to report, I have been able to qualify for payment for every survey I have completed because I was able to get impressions on all my surveys for 5 days during the 10 day time frame. It's really easy for me to get the impressions because I post my results on this blog, Blogslanding and usually a few of the social networks I belong to. All it takes is a few impressions to qualify. This really is a simple and easy way to earn money online. Today's survey was about Haircuts. I'm not a fan of haircuts. When I lived in New Jersey I had the absolute best hair dresser. She knew my hair and I was always happy when I left. Since I have lived in Florida, I haven't been so happy. It seems every time I go for a haircut lately, they cut my hair the way they want to and not what I want. I have actually walked out and refused to pay for a haircut on more than one occasion. The problem is my hair is extremely straight and fine and if someone CHOPS my hair, it's quite noticeable. I just don't understand why a hair dresser would insist on chopping when I know what the results will be. Here's a picture of a haircut I have been trying to get for the past 5 years. I have gone to about 6 different hairdressers and no one has been able to successfully cut it like that. I don't think it's an impossible cut. After all my current hair cut is somewhat similar. I'm not knocking hair dressers, some of them actually do an amazing job, unfortunately, I haven't found the right hairdresser for me. My girls both found a great hairdresser for their hair and their style and so have my boys. Maybe, I'm just too picky. (LOL) If you have a minute, be sure to check out my latest survey results below. As you can see, the surveys is short and sweet and the best part, it's making me money!

This morning I completed another survey opportunity from dNeero social surveys. I get paid every time I complete a survey and share the results. Today's survey consisted of a few questions about my commute. Where are you going? How are you getting there? What would you change? What's your ideal commute?

My current balance for completing the dNeero surveys is $13.76 and I have a total of $1.02 pending. All I need is $20 to cashout via paypal. This is by far the easiest and fastest paid survey opportunity I have participated in so far.
