Www.Chevrolet.com/CMASweeps – Chevrolet CMA Music Festival Sweepstakes

Www.Chevrolet.com/CMASweeps – Chevrolet CMA Music Festival Sweepstakes

If you want a five night trip to Nashville to the CMA Music festival for two people, then you should definitely go to the www.chevrolet.com/cmasweeps site and enter in the Chevrolet CMA Music Festival Sweepstakes. Your free trip includes hotel stay and airfare. What a fantastic trip this could be. You will have to enter some personal information in order to complete your entry.

I would suggest that you read the official rules first before you enter. You may find out that you are not eligible or that you may not like the prize after all. You must be at least 18 years old in order to be eligible to win the price. You must also live in the United States. The sweepstakes actually started on April 29. The end of the promotional period is May 20, 2013. So this means that you will not be able to enter the Chevrolet CMA Music Festival Sweepstakes at www.chevrolet.com/cmasweeps site after that date. There are two ways that you can enter. One of them is online of course. I usually go for this option however this time I am hesitant. The reason is because when you enter online, you basically are agreeing to getting emails that are commercial in nature from GM or GM dealers. So if you do not want to get these emails, then you should mail in your entry.

I know that is much more of a pain but all you need is a  3×5 card. Just write your name, your street address, your phone number and mail it in an envelope to the address provided. You will be able to find the address in the official rules. You can only put one card per envelope. If you want to send in multiple entries, then they will have to be in separate envelopes. However, there can only be one entry per person. This is true no matter which method you used to enter – it could be online or  via regular mail.

So there will be a random drawing around May 24, 2013. The more entries there are, the smaller your chance of winning. I know the chances are slim but I also like the saying that if you do not enter, then you cannot win. There will be zero chances of winning. So why not enter? It just take a few minutes of your time and if you love country music, it just might be your lucky day and you could win. I know it sounds crazy but I usually buy lottery tickets even though I know my chances are so slim. I figure that somebody has to win at some point. Why could it not be me?

Even though I have never won the lottery or any sweepstakes for that matter, I am always hopeful. I guess that is because I see so many people winning that I am hoping that one day it will be my turn. When that turn comes, I hope I am not too old the enjoy what I have won. I of course want to win the lottery – who doesn’t? But I will take a sweepstake or two any day. The funny thing is that a lot of people think about the prize they are going to win but forget that they have to pay taxes on whatever it is that they have won.

I remember this lady who actually won a house. However when she got it, she realized that she would have to pay taxes for the house and did not have the money to do that. So she was trying to sell the house. I guess that is very good because you will still get some money. So if you were to win this sweepstakes, you will get the airfare, the 5 nights stay at a hotel in Nashville, TN and you will also get 2 CMA Music Festival tickets. And what is great is that you get to enjoy this with another person. I am always glad they include air fare and tickets for another person as it is not fun going by yourself. However, finding someone to go with sometimes can be a problem because if you have a lot of friends and family, everyone will want to go.

How To Earn an Extra Income – Up To $1,000 A Month

How To Earn an Extra Income – Up To $1,000 A Month

Most of us work hard during the day at our regular jobs. However, many still find it difficult to make ends meets. There are some easy ways that you can make an extra income of $1,000 or more each month. So what is the secret? Do you need to get a second job? I just shudder to even think of it. So how else can you make some extra income without flipping burgers? The first way is to look around your house for something to sell on Craigslist. You will be surprised at how many things that you will find that you no longer use. The only question that you have to answer is are you willing to part with that item. That usually is my biggest hurdle. I cannot seem able to part with something that I have not touched for years. Maybe you can give yourself a time limit. For example, if it is an item that you have not used for 5 years, then it should definitely go.

Secondly, how about flipping items on Craigslist. I know you have heard of flipping houses but this is much more affordable. Keep looking through Craigslist in your area for items that are being sold way cheaper than they should be. You can buy these items and then resell them for a higher price. You will be amazed at how quickly you can make money this way.

If you have great ideas but do not have the funds to start your own company or business, try a website called Kickstarter. It does not matter what kind of project you have. It can be games, or music or art or technology. It also does not matter how big or small your project is. So if you have a project, what you do is set a goal for how much you need and then you set a deadline. If people get to the website and read about your project and they like what you want to do, they can pledge money to help you. However, remember that this is just a pledge. You will have to reach your goal within your deadline in order to get all the money. So far, about 44% of projects have been funded this way. You may get lucky too.

Another great way that you can make money is to do something that you love and change it into a business. For example if you like hiking, then you can maybe put together hiking packages. Get a website or through word of mouth get people to sign up for short hiking tours. Eventually you can convert this into a company. This may take some time but eventually this could turn into your full time job.

Another great way that you can make money is to rent out a room in your house. In fact there is a website that you can go to where you can advertise your place. You will be able to list your space here and people who are looking for a place to stay may just rent your place. This place is known as airbnb.com. You will have to enter some property details. Make sure you describe the place well so that people know exactly what they are getting. Also take some great pictures as the pictures will be what people will use to judge your space. I looked at a few places and was fascinated with the locations and the reviews. So if you have a great room in a great location, this just might be a place you can advertise for daily rentals.

A colleague of mind is retiring at the end of the month. He is flying by the seat of his pants because he does not have another job lined up and is not sure if he can live off his retirement. When I talked to him, he mentioned that he was thinking about freelancing. I think that is a great idea and something that you can look into if you wish to make some extra money. If you have a skill that others can use, then you should freelance. I think one that would be a big hit is a personal cook. In fact I am looking for one myself. I find that when I come home from work, the last thing I want to do is cook. So that would definitely come in handy.

How To Make Money Recycling Scrap Metal

Filed under Uncategorized by on 2013/05/13 at 8:55 pm {no comments}

How To Make Money Recycling Scrap Metal

Many people these days recycle. We usually recycle things like newspapers, paper, plastic bottles, cardboard containers. Some even recycle clothes by sending them to thrift shops and other charities and places like Goodwill. However, very few people think about recycling scarp metal. Did you know that you can even make money recycling scrap metal? Now some of you may even be wondering what is meant by scrap metal. Scrap metal is in fact any metal that is left over from jobs that you or others may have done. These will include copper, iron, aluminum and steel. You can also include brass and wires too.

It is amazing that many people will just throw out these pieces of scrap metal not thinking for a second that they could make money from what they are throwing away. If you can not only keep the earth green by doing this type of recycling but you can also put some green in your pocket. So the first thing you need to do is figure out where you can find scrap metal. First of all you will need a truck to put the scrap metal in. Next you need to load it up with scrap metal. Where would you even find them?

One suggestion is to put out flyers in your neighborhood telling your neighbors that you would be happy to haul away their junk for free. Always look for some metal pieces in their junk. You may just be surprised at how many people may want to get rid of some old exercise equipment or bicycle or lamps that they no longer need. They would love it if you were to take it off their hands. So that is a good start. Another way you can get some scrap metal is to go to the home improvement stores and asking them if they have any scraps left over that nobody wants. They may even be able to sell them to you for really cheap.

You can also look around construction sites. There are many pieces that you may be allowed to take but do ask permission. You do not want to be accused of stealing. They may even be using what you thought was scrap metal. You can also scout around on Craigslist to see if anyone wants to get rid of junk. Also go to machine shops. There may be lots of left over pieces that may be too small to be made use of. Ask the shop owners if you can have them for free or for a small price. You can even go to the junkyards to look for the scrap metals. You may be surprised at what you find. You can even use wires. You will just have to get rid of the plastic outer layer to get to the metal.

The next step is to sell the scrap metal that you have found. So where do you go to sell scrap metal? You can go to a scrap yard that is close to you. Most of these places take scrap metal from construction companies, plumbers and even other industries. However, you can still sell your scrap metal to them even though you are not affiliated with a company. One good thing to do when you go to the scrap yards to sell your scrap metal is to separate the ferrous metals from the non-ferrous metals. So what is the difference? Get a magnet and you will be able to separate the piles quickly and easily.

Anything that is magnetic is considered ferrous. If you do not have a magnet, look on your refrigerator door. Anything that you find sticking to that door is a magnet. You may have a magnetic business card there that you may be able to use. I know that I have tons of magnets on my refrigerator door.  So if the magnet does not stick then it is considered non-ferrous.

It is also a good thing to call the scrap yard before going there. They may not take certain metals and you should find that out so that you can remove the metals from your two piles. If you do not know what your metals are, there is an easy way to figure it out. Just look at the color. Copper is of course reddish in color. Copper will bring you the most money. Aluminum is silverish in color. Some gutters and siding are aluminum. Brass is of course yellowish in color. Keys and door handles can be made of brass.  Steel is silverish and magnetic. It can also be rusty. Once you have done this, you are ready to make money recycling your scrap metal. The more you have the more money you will make.

Www.Parade.com/WW – Enter PARADE Weight Watchers Sweepstakes

Www.Parade.com/WW – Enter PARADE Weight Watchers Sweepstakes

If you enjoy reading the online publication that provides you with news on celebrities, recipes, health information, games and lots more and you are also a weight watcher, then you will be excited to know that there is a sweepstakes that you will want to enter. The prize is a Weight Watcher’s Cookbook. Apparently Weight Watchers turns 50 and so they are giving away 50 copies of the book to those who enter. It is really easy to enter. Just go to the www.parade.com/ww site and it will take you directly to the website itself and you will be able to enter your name, state and email address. I did enter and I got the information that the winner will be notified in one or two weeks. Oh boy. I can’t wait to find out.

I have entered many sweepstakes and have never won one yet. I do not know how some people are so lucky that they win many times. I need to have to a talk with Lady Luck. She sure does not like me too much. However, that never stops me from entering. You never know. One day Lady Luck will take pity on me and say Hey it is time this person who keeps entering all these sweepstakes and never winning won.

Anyway, if you do want to get a free copy of the cookbook do enter at the www.parade.com/ww site. I have joined many weight loss programs with not much success. Initially I thought counting calories was for the birds. However I saw a friend of mine who was on the program drop weight and keep losing weight. I finally asked him what diet he was on. He said he and his wife were on weight watchers and they had both lost tons of weight. I asked him what had made it successful for him. And he told me something that was surprising to me. He said he counted calories and exercised. Those are two words I never wanted to hear in the same sentence. So I asked him what he did exactly. He told me the meetings were important but that kept you on track. A strict regiment of making sure you ate the right amount of calories and exercised did make a world of difference.

For me, cooking at home was a challenge because I work long hours. In fact, I work 2 jobs. So finding the time and energy to cook healthy meals was not always a possibility. So I eat out a lot. I would try to eat food that I thought was healthy but they were apparently not. Just yesterday I went to a restaurant that listed the calorie count of every item on their menu. I almost fell off my chair and I saw how high some of the calories were for some of the foods that I eat on a regular basis. No wonder I could never lose any weight. I never thought they would be so high. So I tried to find the item on the menu that had the least amount of calories. It was not very tasty but at least I did not consume an extra 1000 calories that I did not need.

Well, I am excited to get this cookbook. Even though I usually do not have time to cook, if the recipes are simple enough, I may be able to cook at home more often. Losing some weight will give me that incentive. If you have not checked out the Weight Watchers program you can go to the www.weightwatchers.com website to learn more about this. I think another things that works here is the support that you get. You can get this support online too. I think that is the key to getting to a healthy weight. You should look into the monthly pass. You get access to unlimited meetings and free etools to help you achieve your weight loss goals. I guess if you really do not want to join the program, at least start watching what you eat. Figure out how many calories you take in and how much you should take in to maintain a healthy weight. If you have that in mind at all times, then you will be successful if you add moderate exercise to that.
