Generate Google AdSense revenue with Docstoc

My dear, sweet old (old, old... :wink: ) Mom sent me an email this morning with a link to the Hick Chick Meal Planner and a brief but certain commentary: "You need this!" I immediately downloaded the Meal Planner, but what struck me was Docstoc itself.

My initial impression of Docstoc is that it's not only a great source of free and affordable documents "for small businesses and professionals", but had good potential as a nice source of revenue. Apparently there are more ways to earn, but what interested me is the potential to earn from both creating and selling documents, and the AdSense revenue generated by offering them both for sale and for free. According to DocStoc, "Sign up for DocCash and we'll split (50/50) the revenue we generate by displaying advertisements alongside your documents."

Be sure to check out the Why Upload Documents section of the website for more information. There you will find many helpful links, including how to Generate Extra Cash From the Documents You Upload to Docstoc (via Google AdSense), and the FAQs on Selling Documents on Docstoc.

I am not being compensated in any way for this post. I just want you to explore it as a possible source of active and passive income for you and your family. I'm saintly like that.

P.S. If you want to create .pdf files from your Word docs like the Hick Chicks did, a great free tool is CutePDF. Good luck!

Fuzzmail sheds light on what is hidden

I sent Fuzzmail to you via Happymaking this morning. Are you quivering in anticipation? Frothing at the mouth? Couldn't care less? You may view it by clicking the following link:  Heather's Fuzzmail to Happymaking.

Fuzzmail is an internet toy that harbors vast potential for addiction! Here's an excerpt from Fuzzmail dot org:

WHAT IS FUZZMAIL? Fuzzmail records the act of writing and lets you send it as an email. Dynamic changes, typoes, pauses and writeovers are captured and communicated. We created fuzzmail because we wanted a more emotionally expressive alternative to email, so that an emailed love letter does not have to look the same as a business letter.

I implore each and every one of you to send Fuzzmail to a friend or colleague today. It's a riot! If you create one, please include the link in your comment so we can all have a good laugh at your expense with you. If you are shy, you may send a private Fuzzmail to me at makethehappy at gmail dot com. :)

Wordle Up!

I learned about Wordles from Anne of Anne on Life's post Weekend Wordles – Food for the Body & Soul. Thanks for posting about that Anne, because now I'm hooked! I'm about to go blind.

Y'all should check it out for yourself. It's a ton of fun.

From Wordle.com: "Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text."

You can enter words, a web address or RSS Feed, and click submit and then "randomize" to watch the magic for yourself.

Here are a couple I generated based on this blog. Enjoy!
