ext_5328359 **How to start making money online!?**No one can deny that work from home and laptop lifestyle is much better than 9-5 jobs, in terms of freedoms and being your own boss is a life every one dream of !!Those dreams I mean laptop lifestyle, being your own boss, and have much freedom, a lot of gurus out there take it as a chance to take your money by offering you courses with no value and taking your time without any gain !!That’s happened to me by the way.I try to make money online with many different ways Amazon FBA, e-commerce Shopify, CPA offers, and finally, Affiliate Marketing, the last one is what I recommend!!**Why Affiliate marketing?!**I can see you asking why Affiliate marketing !?First, let me explain what is it, and then you’ll understand why...Affiliate marketing is so simple, We can devise it on 3 big steps:1- find a product to promote2- build landing page3- drive trafficsAnd like that, if you have some sells you’ll earn commissions.So basically in affiliate marketing, our jobs as an affiliate are to find the right product to promote, then build a landing page with our affiliate link on it, then the final step is to drive traffic to that landing page is simple as that.So now why I recommend Affiliate marketing and not the odder ways of making money online ?!All the other ways you have to deal with customers and product stock and services and many other problems as shipping returns product!!In my point of view, that’s problems !!The beauty of Affiliate marketing is that you don’t have to deal with any of those problems!! Our job is to drive people to the offers get sells then earn commissions that's it !!Now the most important question:Where to find offers !?To find offers to promote you must go to places called affiliates platform and there’s a lot of them such as Jvzoo, warrior plus, and many others but my recommended one is Clickbank, all of those platforms that I munched are newbie-friendly.Every business needs some investment whether it’s time, money, health, or all of them at the same time !!What can I do if I want to Learn More ?!If you want to save time and money, in another way if you are a lazy person like me check out The 1st link at the end of the article to learn more about this program.If you have time and you have some money to invest I have 2 recommended programs for you and both of theme are good for you ta start with and not time/money wasting!

9:59 am - Slacking Students Stike Again
cptlbryant What is with the student slackers lately?!I answer the phone for a living for a non-profit. You can imagine some of the phone calls I get. I'd had some real winners especially when I first started here. Anyway...I didn't post about my last experience here, but briefly, a girl called who was doing a project for school. She needed a volunteer opportunity for that day (Friday) or over the weekend related to a non-profit dealing with food (a food pantry giving away food boxes). I explained that we didn't place volunteers, but that I could give her some suggestions. But seriously, who decides on a Friday, Oh I need to do that project! Bad planning for her, I'd say. And I think she was just now deciding she needed to do her term project because classes here are wrapping up and going into finals this week.Today I get another one. Last night at almost 11 someone left a message on my voicemail. She needed some materials from us for a project she was submitting today. We are open 8:30-5 M-F. She wanted to pick up the materials at 9. I returned her call at about 8:15 this morning, but never heard back. She comes in at about 9:15. Again, seriously, who just decides, Oh, I need brochures and posters? What if we hadn't had any? What if we had run out and were waiting on an incoming order? What if we'd purged all of our last year's materials for new ones? She just got lucky that we had massive amounts of extras from our last campaign.current mood: annoyed 1 employee revolted| Join in

mighty_pit Here follows a TL;DR rant, because this is the internet and I can say what I like.6 weeks ago, I took a job (chef) in a new restaurant in Cardiff (Sale Pepe, St Davids 2). The food is fresh Italian food, made from scratch without a microwave in sight. All good, I thinks. Except the owner is the biggest douche on the face of the earth.Examples:1. On my fourth day, 10 hours into a shift on a saturday (in 45 degree heat) I slightly over cook a poached egg. The owner, Simon, turns to me and screams "YOU ARE A CUNT!" into my face. At this time I am unsure whether to stab him or laugh in his face, but then I realise I need the money and do nothing.2. He abuses all the staff routinely for the next month.3. The day before pay day I have had enough of his bullshit, so I start looking for another job. I see on gumtree that the head chefs, the commis chefs and my job are all advertised. We have received no notice of this, nor any disciplinaries. 4. Pay day! Yay! Or not. I worked over 250 hours in a month for this guy, so on my meagre hourly rate I was expecting around £1400 in pay (that's in the region of over 9000 dollars, if my understanding of current exchange rates are correct.)He gives me a cheque for £915.20. (around 7.89)Igo−WTFmate,you′vemissedoff75hoursfrommytimesheet!Hesays"thosearethehoursyou′vegivenme."Igo−No(pullingoutmycopyofmytimesheet)thesearethehoursIgaveyou.Youoweme£500!(7.89) I go- WTF mate, you've missed off 75 hours from my time sheet! He says "those are the hours you've given me." I go- No (pulling out my copy of my timesheet) these are the hours I gave you. You owe me £500! (7.89)IgoWTFmate,youvemissedoff75hoursfrommytimesheet!Hesays"thosearethehoursyouvegivenme."IgoNo(pullingoutmycopyofmytimesheet)thesearethehoursIgaveyou.Youoweme£500!(972349!) He says he'll look into it.5. I try and cash the cheque through Western Union. They tell me they won't, as the company has fuck all credit. I go back to work, and ask for a bank transfer. Simon agrees. I ask for the outstanding money. He refuses. I say, why not? He fires me on the spot. I put the cheque in my bank, and seek legal advice. I notify Simon in writing that he owes me £1400 ($1,000,000) and that he has 7 days to pay me, or I'll be taking him to court.6. Today, the bank inform me the cheque has been returned unpaid. Under UK law, it is illegal to knowingly write a bad cheque- it is also illegal to stop a cheque for wages once it has been presented, as it is an unlawful deduction of wages.7. I present Simon with a notification of legal proceedings, advising him that if I am not paid in full within the next 3 days, I will take him to court. I also ask him whether he's breaking the law for bouncing my cheque, or breaking the law by cancelling the cheque. I ask him where the bank transfer is, if he was paying me that way, I would understand if he had cancelled the cheque. He says "so you want to be paid by bank transfer AND you paid in the cheque?!!?" I say, yes, you needed to pay the balance by bank transfer, obviously less the £915.20 on the cheque. As the cheque has now bounced, you now owe me the full balance. He says "no, I don't owe you that. I'll respond to your letter through my solicitor."Luckily, I now have a new job, where the people are decent. Yay. As it stands, I'm now on the brink of running this guy through the courts and nailing him to the wall for every penny he's got. 2 employees revolted| Join in

froodle Fucking hell, I hate my job. Apparently, Lord o' Leeds Gas has decreed that all advocates (that's House of Gas speak for Helper Monkeys) will do a minimum of three hours 'phone time every day. That's three hours taking meter readings, producing bills and taking card payments. That's three hours of the House's supposedly best and brightest doing a job someone who's been there a month could do, instead of supporting said newcomers and all the other Phone Monkieys with complicated or confusing enquiries that we, the Helper Monkeys, have been specifically fucking trained for.( Read more...Collapse ) 1 employee revolted| Join in

skeptic320 Dear boss:Congratulations. Never before have I met someone who so deftly combines the problems of working for a disinterested, distant, "hands-off" type with the downsides of an obsessively involved manager.If your policy is "I don't want to put any work into this business, I want you lot to earn money for me", fine, I can live with that. I'd prefer to work for someone who loves their business enough to show some dedication to it, but there are advantages to an absentee boss. However, you promptly squished them. The fact that you don't work nearly as hard as your staff means that you automatically lose the moral authority to criticise.You decided that three training shifts per new employee was too expensive so you bumped it down to one - and then grumped that nobody knows what the hell they're doing. You fire people impulsively (for shortcomings like not knowing how to make every drink after two shifts) and wonder why we're understaffed. You pay minimum wage in a town where dishwashers earn two dollars over, pout about giving people their breaks, act as if we should be grateful for the job and then say you don't understand why the turnover rate is so high. You talk about raising morale and take away the employee discount. Meanwhile, you can barely use the till, never brew fresh pots of coffee, haven't a clue how to pull a shot or steam a pitcher of milk, and don't wash dishes or empty garbages - when you're here, which is maybe ten hours a week. Yet somehow, you have time to call us every hour and ask how everything's going, not to mention watching us on your security cameras. You are not helping. When you're present, all you do is stress us out by ordering us around in ways that don't make any sense and actually interfere with productivity. Everybody breathes a sigh of relief when you depart.I've stayed this long for my coworkers. Now, I quit. This used to be a great coffee shop but it's going to be in the toilet within the year thanks to your mismanagement. 2 employees revolted| Join in

wee_woman why does my boss ask me about the one thing I haven't managed to get round to today? And then expects me to get "all those other wee things" done within the 2 and 1/2 hour time slot between her leaving and me leaving so that on Monday I can get that thing that I haven't done..done. How can someone so well educated (apparently) not understand or even guestimate the amount of time it takes for me to do certain tasks............................I've just noticed I'm complaining again.

4:41 pm - Just a Dream?
wee_woman I would love to go to work everyday and enjoy it. At this scary economic time in the world way too many people are unempolyed and dont want to be. These people would love nothing more than a job. And then there is me, I come in to work and aim to do as little as I can, not because the work is hard or particularly boring but because it doesnt interest me and I'm pretty lazy. Instead of taking a little pride in the work and just doing the best job I can. I would love to have the "Do the best job you can regardless" work ethic. I waste too much time complaining and daydreaming and dodging. Maybe it wouldn't be as broing if I applied myself. There is a saying that life is what you make it and i take it that is true for work as well, ok this isnt the job i want to be in for the rest of my life but would it kill me to show a little pride and work ethic when there is so many people out there jobless.Does anyone else enter work and hear themselves complain and hate it? If so how do you be a more positive person? 3 employees revolted| Join in

1:37 pm - Work Angst (What Else?!)
sayga I hope people still read this community, because Oh, I have stories for you! They are so horrible, it's almost unbelieveable, but you really can't make this sh!t up. Back in May, my boss, who we shall call "B" started saying some rather offensive things to my coworker, who we shall call "CW." So B went into CW's office and told CW he was looking fat. (CW is rather plump, but I'd say he's really the norm for an almost-60 year old guy, and it's none of B's business). B went on and on. "CW, you are just puffing right up. You're so puffy! It's killing me!" At that point, I interjected. I said, "It's killing YOU, B?" I couldn't think of anything better to say, but I was upset that B keeps bugging CW about his weight. B even said, "You are so fat, I can't bear to look at you!"B went on about how CW needs to get off his medications (one for diabetes and one for a thyroid condition) and exercise more so that he'll lose the weight. He wouldn’t listen when CW said he needed those medications to LIVE. But no, who cares if you live or die, as long as you are skinny, right?Another day, my boss came in to CW and was talking about a client of ours. "She is one that's worth losing the weight for," my boss told him. "If you lost the weight, you could date her." What the F***?!I passed a post-it note to CW later that said, "CW = puffy. Too puffy to get LAID." He laughed and said "It really isn't true you know. Women don't actually care when you get down to it." I said, "I KNOW they don't, that's why it's hysterical." We are enjoying making fun of my boss and laughing at him together, but it's still maddening. It's like watching someone too drunk to know they're being a complete asshole. On one hand you're disgusted by their behaviour, and on the other hand, you just can't believe that they really continue to insist they're sober despite what an ass they're being. (Yes, we have told him it is inappropriate and yes, we have threatened to sue, but for now we need the money so we're staying here and just trying to laugh it off, which is really why I'm here). So, we get junk emails all the time for seminars and classes in my inbox at work. Usually I just throw them away, but yesterday I was annoyed at my boss and feeling creative, so I went through an email and changed a lot of the text to make it really funny, including lots of "puffy" jokes. I also included stuff about not making sales calls, because the whole business is going under because he refuses to make calls (he's a sales guy, and makes 2-5 calls per 9 hour day, and wonders why we don't get any sales). I also added in a bit about religion/atheism because my boss always makes sure to take a minute to encourage me to go to church (you don't have a regular babysitter? Well, you should join a church. You found a white dove outside? That's a sign you need to go to church!). Seriously!So now you have the back story, and here's the best part:(I didn't see anything in the rules about photos, so I assumed the standard rule: one picture out, the rest behind a cut).( the other 2 pages behind a cutCollapse ) current mood: aggravated 6 employees revolted| Join in
