Pros and cons of cash advance loans

There are many positives and negatives about taking out a cash advance loan. It is not an option that people often consider, but under the right circumstances, it might be a good idea to help you weather a financial storm.

Pros of cash advance loans:

- If you have a bill that you have to pay, then a cash advance loan might be a good idea. For example, if you are going to get evicted, and your only alternative is to pay it with a cash advance loan, then that might be the smart move. Also, cash advance loans do not require you to get a credit check, so it won't hurt your credit score any, leaving your credit score untouched.

Debt settlement tips and tricks

For the majority of the people in the United States today, debt is probably the biggest factor of stress, and money problems in generals are probably the biggest strain on marriages. Simply put, we do not know how to stay out of debt very well, and we especially don't know how to get out of debt once we get caught in its grasp. You probably know of many people that have gotten in over their heads in debt, and it seems like there is no way out.

You might be in this situation yourself. This feeling often leads people to not even try to eliminate the debt, thinking that whatever they do, they will not be able to escape from their debt and live their lives with financial freedom.

Helium Tip: Write in High Paying Channels

Logically, if you write articles about topics that generate the most money, you are more likely to make money. If all of your articles are in channels for religion, or storytelling, or something of that nature, you might not be as successful making money. However, it can be a big boost to your earnings if you write to high-paying channels.

So what are the highest paying channels? Courtesy of helium, they are:

Personal Finance > Loans > Loans (Other)
Health & Fitness > Pharmaceuticals > Medicine Development
Style & Beauty > Skin & Body > Cosmetic Procedures
Personal Finance > Managing Credit & Debt > Credit Cards
Personal Finance > Loans > Personal Loans
Health & Fitness > Pharmaceuticals > Pharmaceuticals (Other)
Personal Finance > Managing Credit & Debt
Personal Finance > Loans > Loan Basics
Personal Finance > Loans > Student Loans
Autos > Buying Cars

There you have it! Obviously you still need to write about what you know, but it helps if you are able to get some articles written in these topic areas!

Games kids can play outside in spring weather

When I was younger, my favorite games to play outside in the spring weather were most of the conventional sports. Playing basketball, baseball, or football outside in the sun are some of the best memories of my childhood.

The games they can play are obviously in some ways dependent on the type of sporting equipment you have and the number of people you have, but you can usually find something to do. My favorite game was always basketball, because all it takes is a hoop and a ball, and you can play it either alone or with a group of people. It was versatile, which was nice.

Financial Accounting versus Management Accounting

Many times, when people think of the profession of accounting and what accountants do on a day-to-day basis, they think all accountants do the same thing and have the same goals. This is not always the case. Accounting can be broken down many different ways, but one of the main ways involves looking at the differences between financial accounting and management accounting. Both have different purposes and uses, and as a result they have different rules and emphases.

Comments: A really nice day for me, though I'm not exactly sure why. Part of the reason is my article, Should credit card companies be targeting credit card companies? did pretty well, but that was only part of it. Maybe StumbleUpon is really working well? Either way, I was pleasantly surprised, and that is always a good thing.

Proof of Helium Payment

Not that there was any doubt since I've gotten paid, but I just got my earnings paypal'd to me... I'm almost embarrassed to show the meager amount, but I'll post it just to quell any doubts you might have that you won't get paid.

Day 3 Recap

Things picked up a little bit today... let's check the numbers.

Total Earnings: $158.38

Top 5 articles this month:
1. Fantasy Football RB Rankings
2. Comparing Facebook and Myspace
3. Paying for college through work study
4. Pittsburgh Steelers Predictions
5. 401(k) contribution limits

Comments: My earnings were helped by a couple of different things. One, I did a little promoting of articles elsewhere. Second, I started to use StumbleUpon, and that had an immediate effect. I just hope that it continues to have a positive effect on my earnings.

Indianapolis Colts Predictions

Coming off a Super Bowl victory last season, a lot of things are expected from the Colts, and despite some roster losses, they still have the talent to deliver on these big expectations.

For one thing, they still have Peyton Manning. He is the best QB in the game today and slowly moving up the ranks as one of the best QBs ever. He makes everyone in the offense better. Teamed up with perhaps the best set of receivers in the NFL (with Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, and rookie Anthony Gonzalez), the passing attack should be as good as any in the game.

Denver Broncos Predictions

The 2007 Denver Broncos look to be a very successful team, at least on paper. They have a strong and balanced offense to go along with one of the best defenses in the NFL. With these these ingredients, they will be contenders with San Diego to win the AFC West, and might even be able to compete for the AFC Title.

But everything starts with 2nd year QB Jay Cutler. He is extremely talented, but only played in 5 games in his rookie season. If he matures quickly, the sky is the limit both in terms of his potential, and of the potential of the 2007 Broncos. He has all of the physical tools that you look for in a QB... arm strength, accuracy, athleticism, etc... he just has to put it all together. He has a solid receiving corps, led by Javon Walker, which should help his maturity as an NFL Quarterback.

Day 1 Recap

Every day (hopefully) I will recap my earnings. I use day 1 here not because this is the first day I have used Helium (because it is not), but because it is the first day that I will record these.

Also I want to note that I requested payment a couple of days ago, so that is why my current balance is very low.

Total Earnings: $157.53
Invite Earnings: $0.05
Account Balance: $0.74

Again, I just requested payment a couple of days ago, which is why the account balance is very low.

1. Fantasy Football RB Rankings
2. How to improve your ACT score
