April 2, 2015 is World Autism Awareness Day now going on their 8th year. Everyone is encouraged to wear blue to help bring awareness about autism. Many different organizations around the world will be celebrating with fundraisers and awareness-raising events.

7. To show those in the autism community they're not alone.
8. For people like me.
9. 500,000 individuals with autism will reach adulthood within the next decade.

April Has Begun

It is the beginning of a new month, April is finally here! Hopefully, April will be a better month for everyone and will bring plenty of opportunities as well. 

Today is April 1 which is known as April Fool's Day. This is a day where people can get away with pulling pranks on other people without it having a negative effect. I am staying at home so I will not get a prank pulled on me. Thankfully my son hasn't given it any thought as well. Here is a video with some great pranks:

Be on the lookout for those pranksters unless of course you are the prankster yourself. Just remember to keep it clean. 

Bubblews Received an 'F' Rating

While on Facebook earlier today I noticed that there is a picture floating around stating that Bubblews has received an 'F' rating from the Califonia Better Bussiness Bureau (BBB). Of course, being the person I am I had to check for myself. Bubblews went from having an 'A-' rating to a flat out 'F'. The BBB is also warning all users to stay away from this site. So far, they have over 78 confirmed complaints with many more still coming in. I personally know of three people that filed today, that were honest users, that never received their money from before November. Arvind has gotten greedy and now he has been caught with his hands in the cookie jar by the BBB. It surprises me that people are still writing and acting like the site has done no wrong. A change is coming and it might not be a good one.

Your Word

Your Word is unlike any other survey site on the internet. This survey site pays you for every single survey, even if you don't qualify for the survey. You can get anywhere from $0.10-$0.25 just for clicking on the survey. Some of the surveys ask the same questions repetitively, but these are just normal questions to make sure you qualify for the survey. 

Your Word Gift Card Choices

There are four different award levels that a person can reach, it all depends on the person on which award they want to achieve. The awards as seen above starts at $5 and goes up to $25. There are several different gift card options available. 

YourWord Dashboard

When looking at your dashboard on YourWord you will be able to see if you have any available surveys waiting for you and how many, this is called your views. Your rewards are where you find the gift card information and it tells you how much you have and how much is needed for the next reward. 

YourRewards confirmation of Reward

Once you have reached the desired amount that you want, you click on the gift card and enter your information. I know from personal experience that the Amazon gift card is sent through e-mail. I am uncertain of how the other gift cards are sent but more than likely it is sent the same way. Once you are done entering your information you are shown this Congratulations page and you should receive your email shortly afterwards containing your gift card. 

This is a good way to earn free gift cards by simply answering a few questions that don't take longer than 10 minutes sometimes shorter than that. I love the site and would recommend it to others. 

Best Writers is Still Alive

Yes, you have read correctly, Best Writers is still alive and is still operating, although the site had to make some minor changes that I personally think should have been made when it was first created. Anyone that has any business knowledge knows that it takes time for that company to build any income where ever that income may be coming from. It takes longer than three weeks or a month to build up this income to start paying anyone, who may be working on that site. Ads that pay are strange and the rates need to be set to according how the ads pay. In some places, the ads pay more than others, this has nothing to do with the site but the ads themselves and the people they represent. 

I personally think Best Writers has what it takes to be one of the best paying sites once the ads start paying and the money start coming in. I believe we have some great writers and we are looking for more great writers to join us. 

Free AcneFree Thanks to Smiley360

AcneFree 24 Hour Acne Cleaning System 

I received an email stating that my son was eligible to try a product called AcneFree. Today I got that package in the mail that contain my free AcneFree thanks to Smiley360. This product is for my son Andre' to try for two weeks. It is the full product and not a sample version of the product.

Andre'

There are a few things that I have to do with this free product. I have to show a before selfie that is filtered free and before AcneFree. My son has to report to me how he likes the product and any problems he may have had with it. After two weeks, I have to take another selfie showing any improvements if any at all.

I also received 10 coupons for the product as well that are valued at $10 off each. The coupons are a way of showing off the product and spreading the word.

There are 3-steps in using this product. Each step is designed to help treat and prevent acne by the user.
Step 1: The oil-free Purifying Cleanser is to wash your face either at night or first thing in the morning. This can also be used on the back and chest. Make sure you rinse it real good.
Step 2: The renewing toner is to apply after washing your face with the Purifying cleanser. This can be used on the back and chest.
Step 3: The repair lotion is what needs to be applied before going to bed or when you leave the house. This can also be used on the chest and back.

This product is supposed to be better than Proactiv, in which you do not need a credit card subscription to order it. You can find this great product at stores like Walmart, Target, Walgreens, RiteAid, and CVS.


I can just imagine how much this product costs in the store. It has to be a pretty good amount if they sent me $10 off coupons. Okay, on Walmart.com they are $17.97, so with the $10 coupon you will only have to pay $7.97 plus tax. That’s not really bad.

Best Writers

BestWriters.net was created on February 23, 2014 and was once known as Elite Visitors. One of the previous owners decided he wanted to commit a serious crime to the members of Elite Visitors by taking all of their hard earned money and even tried to have the site closed for good. The other owner partnered up with the CSM of the site and with the computer engineer of the site and they opened what is now Best Writers. These three guys made sure that the members articles and information were safe and made sure we had a place to go to continue our writing. 

It has been over a month since Best Writers has opened its door and created a new Adsense account, but it hasn't slowed down yet. The site went into a minor reconstruction and came out looking better than before. 

Only minor changes occurred in the payout schedule and rates which everyone agreed upon. The new rates for the site are:  rate per views is $0.008 and comments are: $0.014. The payout date is at the end of the month now. 

Best Writers also continued with the point system that was previously in place and renamed it to Best Points. The more active a member is the more points they can receive. There will be a store open in the future for members to exchange their Best Points for. 

I am personally enjoying the site more now that it has changed over to Best Writers and I have increased both my Best Points and my cash balance as well. I would recommend this site over any other site that deals with writing online. The owners/admins are wonderful and are quick to fix things when there is a problem. I have to give props to Brad Josh, Kisser, and Rex Trulove with keeping the site running smoothly.
