Today's post is sort of a difficult one for me. ZNZ or Zip Nada Zilch is a company I have been asked about multiple times. While I never really considered it a scam- I was definitely quick to file it away under the 'not worth your time' category. ZNZ is an affiliate marketing company. They pay you for bringing new customers to try out their client's products. Many ZNZ affiliates can be slimy about how they advertise the ZNZ products and gain new referrals. Which is why I was quick to brush off ZNZ. But, it seemed every time I turned a corner there was another person I … [Read more...]

5 Tips for Finding Work on Elance
A few months ago I decided to try my hand at Elance again, since I had been doing this writing thing for a while.

A Very Honest and Balanced Review of CloudCrowd
