Goody is looking for people who are interested in becoming a product tester!

Head over to this site: http://contentm.mkt2106.com/mson/2012/02/20/l3zwQdDEvGZw/index.html, click on “CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP” and you will be taken to a survey so they could determine if you’re qualified. Not everyone who signs up will be selected to become a product tester. Goody will choose from among those who qualified initially from the survey. Then we’ll probably just hear from them through email.

I just took the survey and I think I qualified to be a product tester of a hair blower, curling iron and a brush styler. I hope I get picked! Crossing my fingers!

Thanks to Always Searching For Savings for the info!

I am planning to write a couple of posts about making money online by blogging so that I could somehow help those of you who aren’t bloggers but are interested in becoming one. I know a couple of you have expressed your interest about blogging so let me tell you about Blogelina.

Blogelina is a site that talks about blogging. It has lots of tips and tricks for both beginners and experts in blogging. I started blogging when I chanced upon Blogelina’s offer for a free 4-week online class on Profitable Blogging. And now she’s offering it again!

She usually charges $10 for this weekly class which is already a great deal considering that when you enroll, you also get 1 free year of web hosting from GoDaddy.com (worth around $80).

So head over to Blogelina to check out more details about this!

This is exciting! You could be the first to win an iPad 3, or test Carbona’s Color & Dirt Grabber for free (and possibly win a $200 gift card)!

Giveaway and product testing is managed by StainTalk, powered by Carbona: America’s oldest household cleaning brand.

The Highly Likely iPad 3 Giveaway marks the third time StainTalk has given away one of the popular gadgets. Should Apple not release it by April 15, 2012, the winner will alternatively receive a $499 gift card to the Apple online store.

In conjunction with the Highly Likely iPad 3 Giveaway, Carbona is seeking new product testers for the Color & Dirt Grabber. Washing colored clothes together often results in thousands of stray color and dirt molecules becoming attached, rendering bright garments dull in appearance.

Color & Dirt Grabber sheets are made from a special ultra-absorbent material to trap those molecules, which keeps clothing bright and vibrant. Carbona Color & Dirt Grabber saves customers time and money. It can even help reduce energy usage and is an affordable solution to one of laundry’s most common time-wasters: separating loads by color. Check out Carbona’s Youtube video to see a demo.

Head over to StainTalk’s Facebook page to get started and choose your starting point!
