Q:  I do not see links in the newsletter only the words "go here" but there is no where to go!

some other things it could be........... PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT WORKS FOR YOU OR DOESNT so that I can help others that may be having the same issue
 
if you are using  Outlook Express  version: 6.00.2800.1158
this is exactly what I am using   click on your TOP menu bar and choose
TOOLS  and then click on OPTIONS  then READ make sure the box is NOT CHECKED that says "read in html"
next click on INTERNATIONAL SETTINGS and make sure the box is NOT CHECKED that says  "use default setting for ALL incoming messages"  this is what I have my settings adjusted to.
 
HERE are some other reasons you may be having trouble
 
TROUBLE WITH LINKS AND OR CLICKING IN NEWSLETTER
Having trouble accessing our links?
If you can not access links on our site, please read on:


Although there could be many factors which can cause this problem, the most common situation is that an ad block program may have changed your "hosts" file in your computer.

Try these steps to solve the problem based on what type of WINDOWS or what VERSION you are running
1, Find the following file:

Windows 95/98/ME: c:\windows\hosts

Windows XP Home/Pro: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Windows NT or 2000: c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts


2, Edit the "host" file by right-clicking the file, then select "open with", select "Notepad".

3, Delete the following lines if any present:
service.bfast.com
click.linksynergy.com
clickserve.cc-dt.com
commission-junction.com
cj.com
www.qksrv.net

4, Save the editted file. You should be able use our links now.

These servers do not generate pop-up ads. They are merely gateways to major online stores, and in many cases they can ensure the money-saving discounts would load.


AD BLOCKER SOLUTION Â (if you must have this)
If the above solution doesn't work, try to close any ad block program or pop-up block program you may be using and see if our links can get through.

Alternatively, you can try to configure any ad-blocker you may be using individually:
Ad Subtract: Select the "Filter" Tab, click "Add", enter "www.freelancebyu.com", leave all the block options unchecked;
Block the Pop: Add freelancebyu.com to the "Allow Domain" list.


NON HTML BROWSER INFO..................


if you are using  Outlook Express  version: 6.00.2800.1158
this is exactly what I am using  click on your TOP menu bar and choose
TOOLS Â and then click on OPTIONS Â then READ make sure the box is NOT CHECKED
that says "read in html"
next click on INTERNATIONAL SETTINGS and make sure the box is NOT CHECKED
that says  "use default setting for ALL incoming messages"  this is what I
have my settings adjusted to.

 

 

SPYWARE / SCUMWARE.......................this is a GROWING problem on the net........This is a program that some UNETHICAL sites use that puts unwelcome information / programs on your computer w/o you knowing about it.  This slows down or bogs down your computer and also TAKES the credit away from our site for sending you to other sites so it looks like the GUILTY site is sending you instead of Freelancebyu.  If a site ASKS you to download like GATOR and some POP UP BLOCKERS that is also SCUMWARE in that it not only loads what you think is GREAT but also downloads other things to your computer that TRACKS your websurfing and also steals my clicks.  there are many articles about it and also some "fixes"   I have in the past promoted a few programs to CLEAN your computer but they have prevented you once completely installed from CLICKING LINKS that you normally would.  SOOO my advice is...........to download SPYBOT BUT do not do the immunization, only run and clean your computer from time to time AVOID the immunization part if you want to click as normal.   

 
DO YOU LIKE GATORS MAIN FUNCTION OF FORM FILLING? but dont want spyware?  DOWNLOAD this program to avoid those problems  FILL FORMS AUTO MATCIALLY!  NO SPYWARE at the time of this writing!
 
 
here is more info on the subject of SPYWARE / SCUMWARE
    http://www.spywareguide.com/   The Spyware Guide was created to provide an all inclusive and updated resource on spy ware applications, what they do and how they’re used. These resources include: which software applications can detect and defeat spyware, an extensive database of all known spy software and adware applications and contact information as well as other privacy related products. As the spy versus spy battle rages on we have decided not to take sides, but to merely document the battlefield.
Spyware Guide has a large frequently asked questions (FAQ) library that’s easily searchable with down to earth terms that will help you better understand the impact of snooping programs.
 
NORTON INFO  AND OR TROUBLE WITH LINKS AND CLICKS
    If you are unable to see Merchant names, view links or click on merchants on our pages, you probably have either Norton or some other type of software with ad blocking software installed. The latest Norton may have this feature automatically turned on, when you installed it. This page is made possible by several sponsored links. Please turn off your ad blocking software to view this page in its entirety, thanks.  If you believe it to be Norton thats causing the problem, Click on your Norton software, and click options, and 1. allow add content, and 2. Enable Cookies.  If you have any type of tool bar you are running, this may also keep our links from being viewed by you. Disable them! Occassionally AOL users may have a problem with our links leading to an error page. If this happens to you, please use Internet Explorer when accessing our pages.

Q:  I receive your newsletter via the DIGEST MODE and noticed that many of your links are not present.  How can I take advantage of all the goodies you offer?

A:  Due to technical issues beyond our control, Yahoo cannot support embedded HTML hot links in DIGEST MODE.  For those of you who subscribe to us via the DIGEST MODE, the temporary work-around is to visit our web site:  http://www.freelancebyu.com/anjie_notes.htm   We apologize for the inconvenience and hope for a quick resolution.

Q.  

 

A.

 

 


CONTESTS how do you get so lucky, I never win anything?
well, first of all, I collect all of the lucky charms I can!  I pick up all of the "pennies from heaven" that I find too!  Seriously, I don't win near as much as some do and that is because I don't have as much time to enter as I did!  The very first clue is : ENTER the second is PATIENCE and the THIRD is enter WISELY.  What I mean by that is DONT ENTER EVERY CONTEST YOU SEE..........Winning Wanda, CRICKETT and I read all of the STUFF so you don't have to.........we pick and choose which contests we print for a reason!  We look for the contests with the best odds.  We are all "seasoned" contestants and you know what to look for.  READ THE TIMES enter the CONTESTS, we publish LEGITIMATE ONES and you will see I ALSO publish WINNING NAMES of many freelancers who like you thought they would NEVER WIN who are WINNING EVERY DAY!  FREELANCERS ROCK THE WINNING WORLD! I don't ONLY put the contests in the CONTEST SECTION if that is the ONLY section you are reading you ARE MISSING OUT!
 
I GOT AN EMAIL FOR XXX DEAL OR FREEBIE.........sounds good..........SHOULD I DO IT?
hard question!  SOMETIMES is the answer.  FORWARD THEM TO ME and I will check out for you if there is a question!
DEALS can usually be duplicated or made better by me if you are interested in them and at the same time I can give you a freelancebyu link to use. If the deal is out there I can duplicate it for sure and most of the time BEAT IT!
 
WHY SHOULD I USE A FREELANCEBYU LINK and not use another or type in the site name?
That is totally and completely up to you!
BUT............I can sometimes benefit from the links in some capacity and turn the benefits over to freelancers in many cases.  I get "extra" links and CODES for better deals the more people that use my links.  I also get monetary reward for links in some cases.  The money that I make pays for the list and site expenses.  I AM CHOOSY about which links I run.  Many many other freebie sites and deal sites just RUN ANYTHING, legit or not just to make the PENNIES for you completing an  offer.............NOT ME..............I only run what is LEGITIMATE and WHAT I DO MYSELF............I am not "just out to make a buck" I am here as a TRUSTED FRIEND that is GOAL ORIENTED to help you and help me toooooooooooo SAVE MONEY and truly get the best deals.  YOU WILL NEVER SEE ANY LINKS that I run that I wouldn't do myself.  If there is a question about a deal or a freebie you will see a note from me to that effect "not verified" or "???????????" is usually a good sign that I have not done something yet!
 
 
 
WORK AT HOME?
There are MANY MANY  SCAMS to entice you to JOIN and OFTEN PAY $$ to work at home.  They want your INFORMATION so they can SELL IT on the NET and SOLICIT YOU.  DO NOT FALL FOR IT.  We could all use a little or a lot of extra $$ and there are many ways to accomplish this.  FIRST OF ALL ............DO SURVEYS the pay is EXCELLENT, often you do surveys for NO PAY to get SCREENED for paying ones.  FOCUS GROUPS are another GREAT PAYING extra income resource. DO THE SURVEYS THEY CALL AND BUG YOU ABOUT on the phone.  I have gotten as much as $150 dollars for 1 hour of my time to participate in a local focus group. 
NEXT: There are many part time jobs that require little out of the home time that pay decently.  1) DEMO WORK  2)MYSTERY SHOPPING  3) MERCHANDISING
all of these jobs require a little common sense, some writing skills and some enthusiasm............there are many opportunities for these jobs out there. CHECK YOUR NEWSPAPER for local opportunities to start.  I can  also publish some internet resources for this if you guys are interested.   NEVER PAY FOR THIS INFORMATION IT IS FREE.  NEXT HINT: do the PAY TO PROGRAMS that I post............like GET PAID FOR YOUR OPINION, GET PAID FOR RECIEVING EMAILS etc..........every penny counts. THE BEST HINT...........SAVE $$ using FREELANCEBYU on your EVERY DAY ITEMS, Switch Credit Cards, Switch telephone companies etc........etc......to have more money in other places.  ALWAYS pick up that "penny from heaven" because it is true that a penny saved is a penny earned! :)  There are opportunities that companies offer for DATA ENTRY and such that you can also do at home.  NEWSPAPER LISTINGS usually have these as well.  DO NOT PAY FOR THIS INFO.  START YOUR OWN BUSINESS: many opportunities out there, but let me say NETWORKING is your BEST FRIEND for any home business. If you have a "creative mind" about how to MARKET your own home business you can be successful.  ONLY do what you believe in.  DONT SELL things that you personally wouldn't buy for a price you wouldn't pay............you will not be successful.  For example: DONT SELL GOBBLE DE GOOK make up just because you can and WEAR REVLON cuz you know you can get CHEAP OR FREE after rebate. :)  DAYCARE is a GREAT way for people to make extra money.  I have done this on and off for years..........you can do daycare thru your local Social Service Agency and be certified easily (provided you have no criminal history) and this also allows you to sign up for many other "perks" I can tell you about if you are interested.  Otherwise, all of this information will be in my book! :)
 
CAN YOU FIND ME A DEAL ON XXXX?
OH how I love to find deals for you guys, only problem is that I usually cannot find a specific item with a click of the fingers at the VERY BEST DEAL.  I did without curtains for 10 years in my living room (i know this is a little long to wait-but a great example) of how PATIENCE PAYS OFF. My philosophy is this, If it is not an EMERGENCY I wait to buy at the best price because it will come along. I NEVER buy something just because I can afford it......I wait until I find the price I want and the QUALITY I want too.  My husband gets very frustrated w/ this theory, but it works.  Example: He wanted to buy me a new stove, SEARS ya know the modern convenience new stove/oven.  I dont want just "any" stove and the one I have works fine, its just old and you have to straighten the grates every time you cook.  I want a stainless steel professional stove.  I want it at the price you pay for the "everyday" stove.  I found THE DEAL once but at that time we could not afford even the deal.  So I wait. I would rather wait and get WHAT I WANT at the PRICE I WANT instead.   A more recent example is the LUGGAGE I want. There are "certain features" I want and a Price I want.  Like Tommi said, "you will get buyers remorse" if you buy what you don't want. AND SHE IS RIGHT! So I do w/ what I have until the DEAL comes along.  NOW sometimes I get very lucky and someone says, "can you find me a deal on XXX and low and behold within the next few days I find it! WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO that is LUCKY!  So if you asked for a deal and I have not given it to ya..........it is not because I "ignored" the request- it is because I haven't found "THE DEAL"  NEW NEW NEW............go to the forum and post your requests under the category HELP ME FIND!  MANY will help you find your deal!
 
 
I GOT XXX NEWSLETTER in my email is it SPAM?
once you start to enter contests and get freebies LOTS of spam mail is inevitable. SORRY..........the freebies and prizes come with this cost........DELETE all of the messages that come from all of the people you don't know. ONE WORD OF CAUTION ...........dont delete your WINNING NOTICES from contests.  I have my mail filtered so that certain WORDS like CONGRATULATIONS or "YOU ARE OUR WINNER" and every combination I can think of go into a specific folder.  DO NOT FALL FOR the words "YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO RECIEVE" that is usually you have been SPAMMED!!!!!!!!! Every day I get notices that I have won something and all I have to do is send $$, jump thru a million hoops and give them my child, or pay S&H.........DELETE THEM ............if they are only asking for information or affidavit feel free to forward to me and I will CHECK IT OUT for you and lyk what I think..............most of the time THOSE are legit.
 
 

Q: SURVEYS???????

Can you tell me about them? Are they legit? What have you gotten from them? What should I expect?
Any ones that are better than others? Thanks,Stephanie
A:   I have gotten plenty of cash from surveys and even more from focus groups that you occasionally get asked to do because of filling them out.  I have won a few small prizes from filling out surveys and I have also been able to test products for free!  ABSOLUTELY do them..........I list the legit. ones that I do on the site.........

Q:  GROCERIES.............How can I save money on my groceries?
