Yoggie have launched a new method of Wireless Security which as we all know is very important today, with hacking and internet fraud a very common occurence these days. They’ve got a range of products to ensure your online information is protected and secure. Most of these are aimed at wireless internet laptop users, but they also offer server management products among other devices. A good video review can be found here, but I’ll give a brief overview of the product for those of you too lazy to click that link 
The main product of theirs is the Pico Personal, which seems at first to be simply a usb key, but it is infact a full computer system running Linux. You plug the product into your computer and after a few seconds it runs thirteen security processes to protect your computer, without affecting performance. Benefits of it are that you can set download limits, or simply ban certain websites or IP addresses, and it will warn you before downloading potentially harmful files, while also stopping spam and phishing. It will at most use up 15% of your CPU. This is a huge benefit as most security programs tend to slow down your system and you end up uninstalling them.

Today every man and his dog are starting their own hosting companies, and it’s difficult to filter out the good ones. I myself have struggled to find decent hosting, and found the only solution to be to stop going for the cheapest looking plans and get a reliable service. This post is about a new Web Design and Hosting company called Anaheim Web Design.
The unique aspect of their company is that they offer you hosting and other online service all from one place. A breakdown of some of the service they provide is as follows :
That’s a decent list, covering pretty much all the basic aspects involved in creating a new website. Their services appear to be pretty affordable too, with hosting plans priced around the $9.95 a month mark, and they claim that no job is too small or too big for their team, which is always good to know.
Were I a part of the Anaheim team, I would consider a new header for the site, and perhaps more info about their pricing on the site.
However there is easy to find contact information on the site which could be used to ask the staff anything you need, and they do seem more than willing to accommodate to your needs. I’m also liking the simple but effective navigation on the site, makes it much easier to find what you’re looking for.
I’d advise anyone looking for some online jobs to be done to head on over to Anaheim and check out what they have to offer, what’s there to lose?

I’ve been learning about and using TNX.net over the past few days, and my impression thus far is the same as it was at the beginning. I’m impressed. I first came across this site on Digital Point forums, with an impressively brandable domain and image, it’s hard not to notice this site. Seeing them on DP displayed a close realtionship with their users, something I rarely see in other successful companies.
Basically this site is somewhere for webmasters to sign up and sell links on their sites through the TNX marketplace, and obviously then it’s a place for advertisers to go on and buy links at an affordable rate. The systems benefits all parties, since advertisers can get cheaper advertising, promoting hundreds of keywords in a matter of seconds, and webmasters can earn more from link sales as TNX has the added option of being able to sell links on every page of your site, rather than just the main page, as offered by others. This alone sets apart TNX from other competitors such as Text Link Ads. I once signed up with TLA and wasn’t impressed really, it was dead, and thus, I didn’t bother mentioning it on here
With TNX, I was impressed at first by the sexy look of the site, and then the fact that signing up was dead easy, with no hassle or time wasting. That’s what I want.
The setting up ads is simple too, thanks to great coding on the site and a very user-friendly interface. You know you’re dealing with a professionally made website and system here, but it’s not completely impersonal as you would expect.
They’re friendly too, giving away some free points in this thread on DP, along with free tools and guides to getting #1 rank on google so have a read on there and get yourself something for nothing. As you would expect, there’s an affiliate program too, which you can access by clicking here. I like the site enough that I used my affiliate link and put up their banner at the top of this page. So there goes my banner virginity.
TNX has grown hugely over it’s short life, and it will continue to do so. So click that banner at the top of the page there and sign up

For the record, this is a short sponsored post.
Everyone wants to try make money online these days. Unfortunately the majority of those people don’t want to take the risk of spending their own money, for fear of not being successful, and thus wasting their money. Well I was recently shown a site (click here) that offers a free method to try earn online. The site also completely clarifies copyright laws, which is something I’ve had trouble understanding, what with people stealing my ebook content in recent months. The main site discusses methods of money making using the vast amounts of unprotected material out there, so check that out in this article. Be sure to give the site a look if you’re looking for some concise information on profiting from free public domain material.

My good friend and of course business partner Stephen Lynam has released his new project, Start Your Enterprise, and being the good friend that I am, I’m giving him a free review on here.
Start Your Enterprise is the new program out that tells you all you need to know about how to make money online. It’s got great info on making some new income online, including selling goods and services on ebay/amazon (and where to find the goods at wholesale price), how to use Google’s business programs such as Adwords/Adsense to your advantage, making your own informational products, foreign exchange markets, making money from online commodities such as gold and silver and more.
I recommend to any aspiring entrepreneur to give this program a shot, as it’s only $37 and you are guaranteed to make your money back. There is also an affiliate program viewable here which pays you 50% commission per sale made, payments are made daily into your Paypal account.

A fellow blogger, Thomas Sinfield has written an ebook on how to make money from blogging. I recieved a free copy from him in exchange for a review on this blog.
Some readers of this may know I’ve been planning on writing an ebook about making money from wordpress, which is essentially making money from blogging. So obviously this is competition for me, and in terms of online status, this guy is around the same level as me. I have to admit, this guy did a damn good job. His book is detailed without being full of waffle, and guides the reader on how to set up the blog and make it top notch, and how to then monetise correctly. He gives direct links to the things he talks about, along with explanations and his own personal advice from his experiences. He’s selling for the cheap price of $10, and you can order here. I do recommend anyone new to blogging and looking to make some money from it buys a copy. This simple $10 investment will bring you much more future income in return.
There’s way too many similarties for my liking between this book and the plan for my ebook. I wrote my plan about two weeks ago, and haven’t started the ebook, so I’ve only got myself to blame. Well done to Thomas on the ebook. I’m going to have to either forget my ebook or do some serious research and work if I want to add anything that isn’t covered in Thomas’ one.

As regular readers may know, I’ve wanted to join PayPerPost.com’s service for quite a while now, and having finally been accepted, I get to review their services. It takes longer to get your blog approved on here, but then again that means they’re busy with so many people joining them, which is a good sign in itself. My desire to join them was so strong due to seeing so many other bloggers I like using them and making some money from blogging.
The site is a place for bloggers to join up and get paid to do sponsored reviews, and a place for advertisers to buy blog posts. As I said above, they’re extremely popular, and as soon as I logged in for the first time there was a lot of open blogging opportunities for me, which is a very good sign. The overall layout of the site is very attractive, very slick web 2.0 and easy to use.
Quite possibly the best part of PayPerPost is the easy $20 you’ll make as soon as you join up. Anyone who’s been accepted into the blogger network can get $20 just for reviewing PayPerPost itself (like I’m doing here). They keep a sharp eye on blog ethics though, so ensure nobody is abusing the system and doing a blog of purely paid reviews. I advise any of you bloggers looking to get some paid reviews to join up and see how you get on. You’re pretty much guaranteed $20 for a simple review once you’re accepted, so why not?

The following is a paid review, written by someone else for the blog.
Nowadays in the time of modern technologies nobody will be impressed
with the spy cameras around some house or office. But as a rule, not
every person decides to buy such a device for his own purposes. Though, it
is rather easy nowadays. Just search through the various offers in the
Internet and make your life safer. The other thing is that it is
necessary to choose the most appropriate spy camera systems.
Wireless or wired, dome or mini… In any case, you should notice
that it is better to purchase a selection of complete camera and video
recording systems. Mini spy cameras
just transmit a video signal to a
receiver. You also can record a video using your own DVD or special
computer program. The latter is the best choice just because it allows
you to keep all the information on your computer. But such types of spy
cameras are appropriate only for those who want to know what is going
on within the house. For example, such a type of spy cameras allows to
watch the child and be sure that everything is fine when you can’t be
with him.
Dome spy cameras are the best choice for those who want to protect his
house from thieves or hooligans. Such cameras are made of durable
material, so it is not so easy to break them. If you decide to buy such
a type of spy cameras, choose only waterproof models, because doom
cameras should be placed outside.

Smorty.com is yet another blog reviewing/advertising company, or as they put it themselves, a service “connecting advertisers with bloggers”. It’s definitely one of the most popular out there, and from what I can see so far, deservedly. They have strict enough rules as to if your blog will qualify or not. This is necessary however, as advertisers are hardly going to go to a company employing substandard bloggers. I got accepted into the network within just one day of submitting it, which is a very good response time, particularly in comparison to the long waiting times I find myself getting on PayPerPost.com
This is a way to blog for money for me, and get paid for reviews. It’s also good for companies/people looking to advertise on blogs and spread the word of their product or service. When I logged into the site for the first time after being approved, I was happy to see four blogging opportunities waiting for me, so they do deliver. I like the name of the site too, a six letter brandable name, and a play on “Smarty”. A D4 version of the word if you will
I’m also loving the web 2.0 design on the page, and even want to incorporate something similar into some of my future projects. So far so good for this one, but time will tell how good it really is. I’m still not sure how quickly/slowly I will be paid, so that remains to be seen. If you’ve got a blog with PR and some readers, it’d be worth your while submitting to smorty and making a feq quid for doing what you do everyday anyway

As my readers will know, I love making my money online, and come on here to tell you how I’m doing all the time. But now I’ve found ways to make some money on this blog itself, via paid reviews. This is my first one, and though I’m being paid for this, I’ll keep my views honest.
This review is for the
bloggerwave website. The site is a great way for bloggers to monetise their blogs, and for advertisers to get cheap reviews accross a wide range of blogs. I’ve just signed up, and have been pretty impressed so far. The site has a nice web 2.0 look and I received a response from them very quickly when I submitted this blog.
Though the site is not as popular as others such as ReviewMe or PayPerPost, they’re a nice alternative, and I should also note I’m still waiting on a reply from PPP, despite signing up for them long before
BloggerWave
If you’re a blogger looking to earn a bit of cash, give this a go. Some people make huge amounts from these type of companies, such as
John Chow, who charges $400 for a review on his blog
