Proof of payment from Bidvertiser pay per click

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/AOTYv)
I've been a long time affiliate of Bidvertiser, but I finally earned my first affiliate commission from them today through Paypal. It wasn't much, and it took well over a year to earn. But the fact that Bidvertiser is a free way to make money online, I had to go ahead and let you know about my payment proof from Bidvertiser.

If you don't know what Bidvertiser is, it's simply a free affiliate network where you can join as either an advertiser or a publisher. If you join as an advertiser or a publisher, you will be able to do both regardless. I initially joined as an advertiser to get help in promoting my Sign Up and Make Money online affiliate website. Then I realized that I would probably make better use of Bidvertiser if I posted their pay per click ads on my website. Now I am only using Bidvertiser as a publisher because I felt I wasn't getting the results I wanted as an advertiser.

Take a look at my payment proof from Bidvertister below:

A Paypal payment I received from Bidvertiser for $15.94.

Why would you want to join Bidvertiser?

• First off it's free to join, but you have to be manually approved.


• It could be a decent back up in case anything ever happened to your Google Adsense account.


• Bidvertiser has less restrictions than Google Adsense.


• It can compliment your Google Ads by placing them on pages where you need more than 3 content slots.


• Bidvertiser only has a $10.00 minimum in order to get paid.


• Proof of my payment shows that Bidvertiser will not be a waste of time for you.


• I believe Bidvertiser is still giving publisher a free $20.00 sign up bonus in free clicks just for joining.

There you have it. So I ask you this, why wouldn't you join Bidvertiser? I mean, you have nothing to lose!

Shuffilizer advertising network plus a sign up bonus

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/B49p5)
I don't know what kind of quality traffic you'll get when joining Shuffilizer, but at least I know you'll get a $5.00 sign up bonus for joining. The sign up link to join the Shuffilizer program is in the top right hand corner. It doesn't look like the main sign up link. I really don't know why the owners of Shuffilizer decided to design the sign up link that way. I actually had to go through two affiliate links before I could find out where to sign up on the site. That is something to think about before joining as well.

I read the frequently asked questions section and found out you will be automatically paid around the 5th of the month as long as your balance is at least $16.00. Not too bad, they could probably lower the cash out price just a little bit, but that's lower than most advertising sign up bonus sites that pay a $5.00 sign up bonus.

On top of the $5.00 sign up bonus, you should also receive 500 advertising credits for joining that will get your ad rotating on the Shuffilizer home page. After looking at how Shuffilizer works, I would only recommend taking advantage of their free advertising services. In my opinion it doesn't seem viable to upgrade in the Shuffilizer program because you really aren't guaranteed any traffic. I always say, the more places you can promote your website for free, you might as well take advantage of the opportunity no matter how minimal it looks.

It costs $19.99 to upgrade in Shuffilizer. It looks like you can decide to upgrade just for one month and get 5,ooo advertising credits to your ad. This is also supposed to enable you to earn $8.00 off of all the people you referred that also upgrade their account. Once again, I just don't see it being a very profitable venture. That's just my opinion though, what do you think?

As long as you are a free member, like myself, you will get 25 advertising credits towards your ad for every free referral you bring into Shuffilizer. That's not very much, but whatever, it's free. That's pretty much all there is to the Shuffilizer affiliate program. You sign up, put in your ad (which can be altered at anytime), and refer others to get free traffic to that ad while your text ad is randomly rotated on the main home page at Shuffilizer.com.

Augmented triad pattern going down in whole steps

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/iho4s)
Here is a pretty easy whole tone pattern you can use during solo breaks, at the end of Jazz tunes, or pretty much anywhere your mind can hear a good place to put it. It is simply augmented triads going down in whole steps. As simple as that sounds, the actual Jazz lick itself sounds great.



Here is a sound sample played on trumpet:

How to memorize this whole tone pattern in 12 keys:

Since this Jazz pattern is a whole tone pattern, you will only need to memorize the lick in 2 keys because it repeats itself no matter what note you start on. What this whole tone pattern does is starts on the 5th scale degree of the augmented triad, goes down the triad (3 notes), then repeat the process down a whole step each time. That's all there is to it.

Mess around with it a little bit and you'll have this whole tone pattern in your arsenal of Jazz licks in no time at all.

Explosive e-mail advertising sign up bonus from Dynamite Safelist

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/BoaEj)
I don't know about you, but as annoying as Safelists are, I think I'm starting to like them a whole lot. Dynamite Safelist is the latest Safelist I've ran into that is currently offering a $10.00 sign up bonus until they reach 1,000 members.

Why am I starting to like Safelist? I'm starting to like Safelists because they are such a convenient way to build up advertising credits (or should I say hits to my websites). When you feel like you're ready to do a promotion on something, you just go to all the Safelists that you are currently a member of and send out all your ads. Bam, you got instant access to thousands of double opt in members all over the world coming to your website because of the brilliance of Safelists.

I'm not going to lie either, I mean Safelist are what they are. You will get tons of e-mail daily that you will have to go through and delete. If you don't have a good application like Microsoft Outlook, where you can highlight and delete multiple e-mails at a time, Safelists will become a huge hassle for you. What I'm saying is, join with that caution in mind.

Unfortunately, with Dynamite Safelist you will have to contact support in order to receive your $10.00 sign up bonus. Keep that in mind before you decide to sign up. Something I do like about Dynamite Safelist is that they give you anywhere from 500 to 2,000 advertising points just for logging in consistently. I like that, hopefully Dynamite Safelist sticks to that policy. Of course, when you refer other free members, you'll earn advertising credits off that as well.

Dynamite Safelist also has a banner exchange that uses your earned advertising credits. Just by logging into your account every once in awhile will keep your banner rotating in Dynamite Safelist's network. I do like the idea of that.

That's pretty much it, I did take the time to look through Dynamite Safelist's terms to see when you can cash out, it looks like you have to earn $35.00 in commissions to cash out. That's a little bit of a red flag to me, but everything else looks alright. Take a look at some more free traffic sign up bonus sites that will help drive free traffic to your websites.

Wynton Marsalis soloing with Lincoln Center

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/lSFm2)
Here's a nice Jazz trumpet solo by Wynton Marsalis on trumpet with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. There are some very nice Jazz licks that are used in this trumpet solo. It is also just a very enjoyable Jazz trumpet solo all together.

I don't know the name of this tune, if anyone could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. Wynton Marsalis demonstrates how to play trumpet one handed very nicely a couple of times in this Jazz video clip. It is also nice to see how Wynton Marsalis uses a good amount of space between his Jazz licks in this solo.

Deals N Cash proof of payment

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/hPUqh)
Well, I've been a member of Deals N Cash for quite some time now, and I finally received my first payment through Paypal from them. It feels good to know the time I put into the paid to read e-mail site wasn't wasted. Deals N Cash is also affiliated with Hits 4 Pay, which has already paid me multiple times, this is one of the reasons why I wasn't too concerned whether or not Deals N Cash would pay me. I was more concerned on how I was going to earn the money because Deals N Cash didn't have too many paid to read e-mail ads to click on.

Deals N Cash to does pay a $5.00 sign up bonus for joining, so you'll get a little bit of a head start. You earn 2 cents for every 30 second ad you click on and 1 cent off of every 30 second ad your referred affiliates click on up to one level deep. Deals N Cash pretty much has the exact same commission structure that Hits 4 Pay has, except you can only have one level of affiliates below you to earn off of. Deals N Cash also doesn't tell you how many affiliates you have under you. I really don't know why this is the case.

A Paypal payment I received from Deals N Cash for $31.54.

I've been a free member of Deals N Cash for over a year. So you can see that it really took me awhile to earn that measly $30.00. I really didn't put too much time into Deals N Cash though. I put an affiliate link on my sign up bonus website and clicked on ads when I felt like I had time for them. That was it. I've probably only referred about 50 affiliates and my stats are showing that I'm earning off their clicks pretty much daily.

Feel free to take a look at some more paid to read e-mail sites that pay a sign up bonus and let me know what you think of them.

Text Ad Exchange sign up bonus from Inferno Adz

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/y6RSz)
I found yet another text ad exchange that is offering a sign up bonus. There have been so many popping up all over the place. My only hope is that Inferno Adz, like all the others, turns out to be a successful advertising site so there is a win win situation for everyone involved.

Inferno Adz will be giving a $5.00 sign up bonus, 1,000 free credits, and a free pro membership until they reach 1,000 members. Inferno Adz is currently a little under 500 members at the writing of this article.

The way I look at Inferno Adz and other advertising text ad exchanges like it, is to take advantage of the free membership and the free traffic they will provide for you. As far as upgrading or purchasing advertising goes with text ad exchanges, I would definitely stay away from doing so. The only exception to this is if the site is very well established and has a very large membership base with fair advertising prices.

Well, other than the above mentioning, I don't see anything else too special about joining Inferno Adz. If you refer other free members, you will definitely be rewarded for doing so. I believe you'll receive 1,000 points towards free advertising for every referral you bring in.

If you like what inferno Adz has to offer as far as free advertising is concerned, then take a look at some more free advertisement sign up bonus sites and let me know what you think of them. The promotion of your websites is always going to be up to you, so the more free traffic sites you can become a member of, the better.

Iron Offers affiliate network payment proof

(My Original Blog Post: http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/blog/2009/08/iron-offers-affiliate-network-payment-proof/)
I wanted to share with you my very first paycheck that I received from the Iron Offers affiliate program just today. If you're not familiar with Iron Offers, you should be. It's a 100% free to join affiliate network, but you have to be approved by an affiliate manager before you can begin marketing their advertiser's promotions.

One of the biggest reasons I like Iron Offers is because they offer a good amount of cost per action ads (CPA). This is when you get paid per lead versus paid per sale. I've always found CPA promotions to be very profitable for both the advertiser and the affiliate marketer.

I haven't been doing a heavy amount of marketing for Iron Offers as you can see in the payment proof below, but Iron Offers has the option to have a very low payout level of only earning $25.00. All I do is put a few of their advertiser's ads on my website. Nothing more, nothing less.

A Check I received from Iron Offers for $25.85.

Another thing I like about Iron Offers, and this will be the last note I'll end on, is that you can earn a percentage off of referring other free affiliates to Iron Offers. You'll earn every time they get a lead or make a sale. Unfortunately, I can't remember the exact amount you can earn off of your referrals. I tried searching for this information and was unable to find it either.

If you know how much you can earn off your sub affiliates, please comment below.

My Solo Ad Trader sign up bonus

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/1yFpf)
My Solo Ad Trader, yet another traffic sign up bonus site to add to your network of free traffic sites. I have to tell you though, I am kind of getting a little bit concerned with all these generic traffic sites that keep popping up. They all kind of look the same, have the same features, benefits, and they all offer a sign up bonus until so many members are reached. It's just weird, that's all.

This is either do to a certain affiliate script being sold that is a hot buy, or the same webmaster is opening up a bunch of similar sites to test the market out and to see which theme does the best. I'm guessing it's the latter on this one.

Anyway, My Solo Ad Trader is offering its member a free $5.00 sign up bonus until they reach 1,000 members. I think they will probably extend the sign up bonus as I see a lot of these traffic sites doing. Other than that, there really isn't anything too special about My Solo Ad Trader. I'm kidding!! You get the usual free credits for signing up as well. I believe there is 1000 points to take advantage of when you sign up.

These ad networks have proven to be a hassle for me in terms of advertising. In my opinion, I believe Safelists to be much more easier to work with. It's just more convenient to get e-mails sent to you and also knowing that your ads are being sent by e-mail. This takes out the extra step of a member having to log into their back office just to view the ads. My Solo Ad Trader does offer solo ads, but you'll usually have to pay for it. If you read any of my earlier posts, you'll know my opinion of paying for advertising on sites where you can already get it for free isn't a good idea.

Major triad pairs from the Coltrane Matrix

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/gkY2Q)
Here is something you can work on, it's not the easiest pattern to master in all 12 keys, but it's a good Jazz exercise to work. This major triad pair combination from the Coltrane Matrix can be used on a lot of different styles of music, especially modal tunes.



Here is a sound sample played on trumpet:

How to memorize this pattern in all 12 keys:

There really isn't any trick to memorizing this Jazz pattern in 12 keys. The main advice I can give you is that a lot of repetition and hard work will get you there. Basically, all you are doing in the above example is playing the major triad of the fourth and fifth degree of the C major scale. I don't stick to a solid pattern when I work on the lick. I just skip around going through all 12 keys until I find a pattern that sounds really hip, then I lean on that pattern.

Quality traffic and a sign up bonus from Vital Profits

(My Original Blog Post: http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/blog/2009/08/quality-traffic-sign-up-bonus-vital-profits/)
I ran across Vital Profits the other day and saw that they are offering a $5.00 sign up bonus to all free members until they reach a target goal of 2,500 members. Vital Profits is close to 700 members at the writing of this post so if you want that sign up bonus, you got to jump on the wagon and take advantage of some free advertising today.

Just so you know, on top of the $5.00 bonus (which you won't be able to redeem until your total commissions reaches $35.00), you'll also receive these free advertising benefits for joining Vital Profits:

• 2,500 advertising points.


• 2 solo ads.


• 2 banners with 2,000 impressions each.


• 2 mini banners with 1,000 impressions each.


• 2 traffic links with 100 views each.


• 2 billboard ads with 100 views each.


• 2 member ads with 100 views each.


• 1 log in ad with 500 views.


• 100 free advertising points a month just for being a free member.

I don't know about you, but that's a lot of free advertising to hop on top of. I'm going to wait until Vital Profits gets over 2,000 members, then I'll start using a lot of the free ads I got when I signed up.

As I recommend with all free traffic sites, definitely take advantage of the free advertising, but don't put any money into these programs as I foresee you being disappointed. Unless you really do your due diligence and see it fit to invest in these free traffic sites, I usually don't see the point in paying for advertising I can get for free. You know what I mean?

Refer other free members to Vital Ads and you'll be able to earn a whopping 5% off the points they earn through being active as a member. I know it doesn't sound like much, but simply referring other free members can provide you with free traffic in Vital Profits for years to come. That is as long as Vital Profits stays in business for years to come. We can only hope and pray.

Let me know what you think of the free advertising sign up bonus site today, your opinions are greatly appreciated.

Leroy Jones trumpet solo on Bourbon Street Parade

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/ouNAI)
Leroy Jones doesn't start taking his trumpet solo until the 3:15 mark on the video. Craig Klein took a very energetic trombone solo as well but if you want to skip ahead, feel free to do so. Leroy Jones does some circular breathing on a G above the staff, pretty cool if you ask me. I guess I'm writing about Leroy Jones because I recently had the opportunity to see Leroy perform live at the New Orleans 2009 Satchmo Summer Festival. It was a great show. I didn't know that Leroy Jones did a lot of singing.

I always liked Leroy Jones' trumpet sound. He has a very unique trumpet sound that is very light and mellow and easy to pick out among other Jazz trumpet players out there.

Is it just me, or does Harry Connick Jr look really young in this video?

My List Frog includes a list building sign up bonus

(My Original Blog Post: http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/blog/2009/08/my-list-frog-includes-list-building-sign-up-bonus/)
I've never been a big fan of 100% free to join list building websites because I usually build my mailing list through my own efforts, but My List Frog looks like it may have some potential. On top of being a free to join traffic site off the bat, My List Frog will also give you a $5.00 sign up bonus just for joining. I don't know why, but for some reason My List Frog doesn't advertise their $5.00 sign up bonus on their main website. I thought that was really odd because it should really be one of their main selling points.

Of course My List Frog states that you can increase your traffic, sales, and sign ups to over 200%. Don't fall for that. I only see My List Frog as being a free traffic source and nothing more. With only a little over 2,000 members, I don't see how My List Frog could possibly increase your sales that much.

Being a free member of My List Frog, you'll be able to mail 400 members every nine days. It doesn't sound like that big of a deal, but it's almost like increasing your mailing list by 400 people. That's kind of how I envision all these free traffic sites, as adding more members to my referral base almost instantly.

You'll also get 15% commissions off of all the referrals you bring into the traffic company. My List Frog also has a downline builder. I wouldn't rely to heavily on it though as most members you refer will probably never look at it. This is only due to the downline builder being a little bit buried in the site.

My List Frog can also be added to one of the annoying traffic sites that shows you multiple ads before you can make it to your back office. I don't know why this annoys me so much, but it just does. I don't mind getting one ad before I log in, but two, or three ads is just going overboard with the advertising.

Use the teachings of The Secret to build your wealth online

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/yeclf)
Have you heard of The Secret yet? Have you heard of The Secret, but haven't been actively applying The Secret to your life? Either way, as crazy as this theory sounds, in my opinion it really does work. The law of attraction is inevitable and should be taken seriously in your everyday life.

The biggest improvement I've seen in my life since I've started practicing the teachings of The Secret is the increase of cash flow coming to me. I am passionate about making money, I always visualize money coming to me. I just know that I know I'm a money magnet! Some are skeptical, but I'm here to say that I'm not one of them.

I won't go into too much detail on all of this, but I found a good video that introduces the first 20 minutes of The Secret movie. The video gives a good introduction to what The Secret is all about. I have the 4 disc audio set and listen to it when I drive to stay positive.

Fourth pattern going up chromatically you can mess around with

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/Cq53i)
I know you're going to laugh at how simple this fourth pattern is. Simply going up in half steps with a fourth in between doesn't sound too difficult. The reason I posted this fourth pattern as a Jazz lick is because it really can come in handy over modal tunes and Dominant chords that last awhile and you want to take your Jazz solo outside a little bit.



Here is a sound sample played on trumpet:

How to learn this fourth pattern in 12 keys:

Since this Jazz lick goes up chromatically, you'll really only have to learn it once. Just know that the pattern is up a fourth from the first note you start on, then up a half step from the first note you started on. The Jazz lick simply repeats this same pattern over and over again.

The cool thing you can do with this fourth pattern is mess around with it rhythm wise. Find and create different variations of this chromatic fourth pattern that you like best. Since this is music, there are no limits on what creative 4th pattern variations you can come up with.
