When it comes to citizen's broadcasting Blog Talk Radio ranks number 1 in all categories. There is no way to compare Blog Talk Radio to any other internet broadcasting platform. The quality of the website is among the best I have seen. The professional persona of the owner Alan Levy flows downward throughout the staff of BTR.
Business owners host their shows in their specialized career field which enhances, and increases their business. If you're not a business owner there are other host who enjoy hosting shows focused around their passion.
The best feature I really loved about blog talk radio is the training. The personalized training to teach you what you need to know to host your own show. Being from the ancient days of actually having to be in a studio to broadcast a show I was floored over the idea of operating without physically going anywhere.
One other aspect is the continual improvements of new gadgets to make programming the best it possibly can be.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention the quick service and help. They DO NOT leave you hanging they really respond to whatever questions you have. And we have one of the most cooperative and friendliest groups on yahoo groups.

Making Money On Weekends
Weekend Child Care
Working parents sometimes find themselves scheduled to be out of town for a weekend and for whatever reason cannot take their children and have no one to leave them with. This is a service that can be done in your home or in the client’s home. Determine which would be easier for you and base your price structure on that. Also, determine who will be responsible for providing the food you will prepare for the children. Include this into the fee you charge.
It is important that you are aware of all laws and requirements for child care your are may have. A phone call or two will get you the information you need to avoid fines later on.
Baby Sitting
Here is a job most of us did when we were younger. Today, having a responsible adult available to watch children for an evening is a luxury most parents only dream of. Playing with the children and reading to them as well as being able to prepare a meal allows parents more freedom to do whatever it is that is taking them out for the evening. This job might grow faster than you expect through word of mouth. It is a good idea to consider how many jobs
over a weekend you will want to accept and what limits you might want to have concerning the length of time or number of children and so forth. Once parents discover a reliable sitter the word will spread quickly.

Making Offline Money
Local Tour Guide
If you know your area well and enjoy being with new people consider being a tour guide. You would be responsible for meeting with the client and having an itinerary available of places most people would like to see when they visit. However, you must be willing to alter that and be creative if the client doesn’t want to visit the normal places for tourists. Fees are normally charged for half days and full days. Adjustments are made if clients wish to see things out of town or where long drives are necessary. It would be important to do some research and know the history of the area you will be touring to provide the client with the “color and background” most of us enjoy but never take the time to learn. This type of position would tend to be seasonal in most parts of the country. However, if you are fortunate enough to live in an area that attracts visitors year round this is something to seriously consider.
Conventioneer Aide
Many large cities spend millions of dollars every year to attract conventions for the tourist money they bring in. Many conventioneers will bring a spouse or sometimes the entire family with them. Unfortunately, those family members are often left stranded in a strange city for long periods of time. If you work well with people, you might be able to help both yourself and your city’s convention bureau. Acting as a companion and guide for those people who come with the convention attendee will make the convention experience more pleasant for both the person attending the convention and the spouse or family member. You would be responsible for acting as a local tour guide but also to transport your clients to the local shopping areas, cultural centers and restaurants. If children are involved a trip to the zoo or museums might be in order.
Information about the number and dates of upcoming conventions is available through the convention bureau or the local Chamber of Commerce in your town.

Supplement Your Income - Part 3
Caterer
There are many companies in this market, but most are geared towards large events, not small family gatherings or neighborhood parties. If you enjoy cooking or barbecuing, this is the place for you. If you have that famous recipe for steaks or chicken on the backyard grill, or if everyone always raves about your desserts, consider this a potential gold mine.
Begin by focusing in your own neighborhood. Inexpensive fliers delivered to your neighbors’ doors would be a quick and easy way to start. Word of mouth will be your best advertising in the long run, but a few doorhangers will get your business off the ground.
Concentrate on the type of cooking you like to do best. If you enjoy what you are doing, it will be reflected in your product and that is the quickest way to a very successful business.

Supplement Income - Part 2
Professional Shopper
Most people shop on a weekly basis for groceries. However, busy professional couples, the elderly, busy parents or people with other commitments for a particular weekend may all need someone do their shopping for them. If you are near a retirement community you could build up a regular clientele. Get a list of items to be purchased as well as a store preference. If you have the time, review the food store ads that appear in the local paper each week so that you have an idea of what specials and sales may be going on. Suggest some of these to the customer. Normal fees for this service vary. A percentage of the total bill is normal although you might want to set a fixed price if you are dealing with people on a fixed income.

Ways To Supplement Your Income - Part 1
Contract Cleaning
This is a business that can start very small and grow very quickly. Busy families and small businesses can both use a reasonably priced service. There are several specific markets to consider. Young families are often so busy that weekend cleaning becomes difficult or impossible to do. Having someone on a regular basis has appeal to more and more working adults.
The elderly offer another growing market. This use to be limited to those people who couldn’t do the cleaning. But as seniors become more active and involved in retirement communities they want to spend less and less time doing things that others could do for them. This group also will have several homes and will be part time residents.
This opens up the possibility of including home maintenance when the owners are away as part of the service. Small business owners often do much of their own cleaning. This is not the most productive way for them to use their time. By providing them with reasonably priced weekend cleaning services, you are giving them back time they can use to help their businesses grow.

Revoluntion Money Exchange
The fastest $25 bucks I ever made was over at the RME=Revoluntion Money Exchange. Its real, and legit. It works similar to paypal, and they are in competition with paypal. The company is giving away $25 to anyone who signs up. A friend told me about it, so I said, let me test it out. I only promote a product that I have used, and tested for myself. I signed up in less than 15 minutes, and bang $25 bucks was in my account. Well you know I had to go a step further before I start spreading the word like wild fire. So I transfered the money to my paypal account to see if it was really for real. It's for real the tranfer when through, and I have my money --do you have yours? If you don't just click the button to your right -- and get yours!
