Squidoo : Lenses by Janet21

Are you a Stay at Home Mom (or Dad) Interested in Earning a Monthly Income?

Mon, 13 Feb 2012 10:01:40 -0600

Okay, I am sure you are all thinking, "What's the catch?" Don't worry, there isn't one. I promise. I am a stay at home mom and I will show you how Squidoo is helping me earn a monthly income while still being home to take care of my children. What is Squidoo? Squidoo was founded by Seth Godin, well-known author and marketing guru. It is a free Internet platform that allows people {called lensmasters} to write about topics they enjoy and make money in the process. If that is not enough, it is fun, too! But, be careful, creating pages {called lenses} can also be very addicting. So, don't say I didn't warn you. :) Oh, and there is one more thing. Squidoo and it's lensmasters also contribute thousands of dollars annually to various charities. Isn't that great? Is Squidoo a fly by night, get rich quick scheme? Absolutely not! It does not promise you millions, but if you work hard, you can make extra money for yourself and for your family. All while writing about things you love and staying home with your kids. So, if you are a stay at home mom or dad or someone just looking to supplement their income, then you have come to the right place. I will use this lens to talk more about myself and how I got here, provide my actual earnings figures {not just some hype} and direct you to some other great lenses that can help you get started.

Mobile Cupcakes

Sat, 11 Feb 2012 11:20:29 -0600

Move over hot dogs carts, sayonara ice cream trucks. There is a new food in town that is taking the country by storm! I am referring to the latest craze in Mobile Cupcakes. Over the last six months, Mobile Cupcake vendors have popped up in many cities across the nation including New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Washington D.C. There doesn't appear to be an end in sight. Have an sudden attack of the sweet tooth? No fear. There may just be a Cupcake Truck waiting for you around the next corner ready to satisfy your craving. Many Mobile Cupcake companies utiilize the social networking site Twitter to keep their customers up-to-date on their daily locations and their cupcake flavors of the day. Some of these companies have over 10,000 followers! This wave in Mobile Cupcake vendors is understandable actually. Cupcakes make the perfect food on the go treat. They are small enough to carry with you and truly make the perfect snack. Ask Suri Cruise, she knows. The popularity of cupcakes has boomed over the past year or so. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that a new venture featuring these miniature desserts would surface. And it has. The Mobile Cupcake truck. What a great idea. This page will feature Mobile Cupcake companies I came across after doing some research on the topic. If you have a Mobile Cupcake business and would like to be listed on this page, please sign the Guestbook at the bottom of the page. Cupake Stop Truck photo: Scott Beale / Laughing Squid

Michael Jackson: The King of Pop

Fri, 29 Apr 2011 07:59:58 -0600

When I made the decision to write this lens on Michael Jackson, I honestly didn't know where to start. I wondered how I would possibly be able to cover the life of such a unique person; a musical icon. A man so talented that he is a legend in his own time. Regardless of your feelings towards Michael and your opinions of his personal life, you cannot deny the fact that his talent and achievements are exceptional. No other performer in history has won more awards than Michael Jackson and he is considered THE most successful entertainer of all time. He tops a prestigious list of musical legends. 1.) Michael Jackson 2.) Elvis 3.) The Beatles 4.) Frank Sinatra. That's impressive! Michael Jackson will always be sort of a mystery to us. We may catch a glimpse of him in an interview or on stage, but the true Michael, well, that is someone we may never really know or understand. Perhaps that is part of what makes him so intriguing. "I wish we could all spend some time in his world," Steven Spielberg once said of his friend. While this lens will touch on some aspects of Michael's personal life, the main purpose of this page is to celebrate the body of work and achievements of a musical genius.

Mascot Costumes for Children's Theme Parties

Sat, 19 Nov 2011 12:26:21 -0600

Mascot Costumes would make a wonderful addition to your child's birthday party celebration. Can you imagine the look on their face when their favorite character shows up at their party? These mascot costumes look so much like the real characters that your child and their party guests will not believe their eyes! Mascot costumes are the norm at places like Disney World and Sesame Place. Why not bring that same magic to your child on their special day? Mascot costumes are perfect for toddlers and preschoolers since they will actually believe that it really IS Elmo or Dora or Mickey Mouse. They have wonderful, innocent imaginations. Older kids may not be as easily convinced. I would say that ages 1-5 would be the perfect age for a child to receive a visit from their favorite character. There are a few different ways in which you can have your child's favorite character come to life. You could purchase or rent a Mascot costume and have someone (a family member, friend or a hired entertainer) wear it to your child's party. Generally, mascot costumes are one size fits most and will fit a person between 5'4" and 6'0" tall. Another option would be to hire an entertainer who will provide the mascot costume. If you decide to have a character show up at your child's party, you will not believe all the different characters available. When I first started putting this page together, I had no idea that some of these Mascot costumes even existed.

Jon Bon Jovi: The Sexiest Musician Ever

Thu, 13 Oct 2011 22:07:44 -0600

Jon Bon Jovi looks as good as he did back in the 80's when he first blasted onto the music scene. His hair may be A LOT shorter, but my goodness he is still hot! I will never forgot the first time I set my eyes on Jon. It was 1983 and I was 14. I live in New York and Jon is from New Jersey. They aired a segment on my local news about him with a short clip of the video for 'Runaway' along with a small interview. It was love at first sight! I immediately bought the album. I spent countless hours in my room with this cassette tape in my black Panasonic tape recorder listening to 'Runaway' over and over again. You know, back in the old days you had to actually rewind the tape to hear a song again! My other favorite song on that album was "She Don't Know Me'. 25 years later I still think he is the best and sexiest! I have been to many of his concerts and they are awesome! The first time I saw Jon's short hair was at a Def Leppard concert. Near the end of the concert, Joe Elliot of Def Leppard announced they had a special guest. Onto the stage walks a handsome man with short, blonde hair. My sister and I are like, "Is that Bon Jovi?" We just could not believe it. Of course we had nose bleed seats so we could only get a good look at him in the video screen. It was not until he actually started singing that we believed it was indeed Jon himself, WITHOUT the big hair.

New York State Sales Tax Negatively Impacts NY Affiliates

Tue, 10 Jan 2012 11:45:39 -0600

The New York State legislature has included a provision in their $122 billion budget. About $50 million of this is meant to come from a tax on some online retailers. The law sets a June 1 deadline for out-of-state sellers to register with the state and start collecting taxes. The state is threatening that those companies that don't comply could be subject to audits and bills for back taxes. One aspect of New York state's argument is that online retailers that utilize affiliates based in New York have a 'physical' presence in New York, therefore, should register as a business in that state and collect taxes on all purchases shipped to New York residents. This Internet tax debate has been ongoing since the 1990's. In the 1992 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, Quill v. North Dakota, the court held that a retailer must have a "physical presence" within the state in order to be responsible for collecting sales taxes. New York State is claiming that affiliates give online retailers a "physical presence" or nexus {a means of connection; a link or tie} within the state. New York residents are supposed to report sales tax from online purchases on their tax returns. Since the majority of people do not do this, the state is trying to tackle it from another angle and force the online retailers to collect the taxes for them. Two Online Retailing Giants Respond: Overstock: Drops 3,400 NY Affiliates May 30th: Overstock.com sues New York Amazon: States they will begin collecting taxes on June 1st as required and has filed a lawsuit against New York State. The final ruling in this lawsuit will impact the future of online selling. Added 6/24: Cafepress drops New York affiliates. Random Thoughts Whose lead will other merchants take, Overstocks or Amazons? If this law passes, how many of the remaining 49 states will follow? How does this law affect eBay affiliate sales, or does it? Squidoo is based in NY, what are the implications, if any? How will New York State be able to enforce this new law?

Earn Free Money for Your Child's College Education

Sat, 05 Mar 2011 17:10:27 -0600

Upromise can help! Do you purchase baby food at the grocery store, pump your gas at the local Exxon Mobil station or shop online? If you do, why not earn FREE money for college in the process? Upromise is a free service that helps you save money for college while doing the things you normally do - shopping, dining, filling your gas tank, buying groceries, etc. They do this by partnering up with 100's of companies that pay 1%-25% towards your college savings when you purchase their products. You can even invite Family & Friends (a grandparent, Aunt, Friend, etc.) to help contribute towards your child's college savings by joining Upromise. I have been a member of Upromise since 2002 and have saved over $2,100! Keep in mind, this amount does not include the interest that has accumulated on these contributions since I have deposited it into my kid's 529 accounts. The college savings is actually much higher! I am constantly telling all of my friends about this service because it is something I truly believe in. My feeling is that if you are going to spend the money on a certain product and that company is willing to PAY YOU to purchase it, why not take them up on it? Upromise is a fantastic way to supplement your child's college savings. Every little bit counts! For many parents who had not yet set up college savings account for their child, joining Upromise helped them get on the right track and start saving even more! Oh, and did I tell you it was FREE.

Who in the World is Janet21?

Thu, 30 Dec 2010 15:46:40 -0600

We'll, I have heard that creating a lensography is the hip thing to do on Squidoo these days and that everyone is doing it. I know, I know, you shouldn't do something just because 'everyone else is doing it', (my mom taught me better) but in this case I think it should be okay. I am just creating a lensography afterall. What harm could that do? Plus, I certainly don't want to be considered "un-cool" by not having one. I want to be a part of the Squidoo in-crowd. I want to fit in. Geez, what am I back in highschool? Get a grip on yourself girl! :)
