My Favorite Online Tools

Posted by jacquelynrose as Random things, Running a Home Business, Uncategorized

I had been meaning to do a post about my favorite online tools for a long time, ever since I read the Top 25 sites we cannot live without on Time Magazine. My list is a group of things that help me get around the internet, whether I am blogging, purchasing, etc…

1) PhotoBucket.com - I LOVE PhotoBucket. In fact, I am thinking about upgrading soon, because I use their online image codes for a lot of my images, which I use mostly for blogging. I personally think it is the best service all around and they give you a lot to work with. I noticed that Photobucket has turned a lot into a photo networking type site now but I just use it to get my image coding.

2) PayPal.com - Sending and Receiving money via PayPal is great. I love the option that we send money by email and it can come directly from our Checking account and into our purchases. I also love getting PayPal emails saying I had received money.

3) Random.org - This is an actual new site to me. You add your list, whether it be emails or names or numbers and it puts it in random order for you, which is great if you do contests. I had just recently learned about it on another blog, thanks JimKarter.com

4) eBay.com - I think this auction site will always do well, it will always go through changes (some controversial I heard) but you can always use eBay. They have over a million and one things you can buy and sell. I love the mystery boxes on eBay. I have always wanted to buy one.

5) iStockPhoto.com - I had also just learned about this, this year but when your a blogger, you need images to get your point across sometimes and also to entertain your readers. IStockPhoto.com has pictures for only $1, which is the perfect size for your blog and other random images.

6) Blingo.com - A Search Engine powered by Google.com. You basically when Prizes for doing your normal searches. I had previously won $5 Amazon.com and now I am obsessively trying to win a Dell Notebook (although I already have a PC and Laptop) .

7) WebMD.com - My Favorite site when I am sick or if I think I am coming down with something I can kind of figure out what I have here.

Amazon.com - I LOVE Amazon! I mostly buy books and dvds. A lot of incentives I make online I turn into Amazon gift certificates so I can buy MORE books and dvds.
