So “What are Promotional codes” well simply, when you shop online and during checkout with some online stores there is normally an area for promotional codes, promo codes or coupons, by inserting a code you can get a discount. The online store distrubutes these codes online, through newletters, emails to entice repeat sales. There promotional codes can be hard to find so that is why the below list is so important. If you shop online, make sure you refer to this list before purchasing anything as there maybe a discount available. Never pay full price for anything online again.

So it can be simple to make money online with coupons right?, well the below article makes it the simplest it can be, you need to know three things “basic affiliate marketing”, “where to get coupons” and “how to use CodePROMO.com.au”, I will help the best I can in such a small article. The biggest thing is that you don’t need a website and instead use CodePROMO’s.

STEP 1: Identify an Affiliate Program

The first thing you need to do is join a merchant affiliate program or Affiliate Network like ClixGalore. If your using ClixGalore then browse through the thousands of online stores that are offering a percentage of a sale and identify one you like.

STEP 2: Find a Coupon Code

Next, you need to go looking for a coupon that matches the store you want to earn commissions from. Write it down. Easy way to find coupons issearch “coupons + store” in Google.

STEP 3: Join Affiliate Program and get the “Affiliate Link” (tracking code).

Go back to ClixGalore or the merchant affiliate program and sign up for the affiliate program. Once signed up (some are instant others take days to accept) you will be given a text link. What you need is the affiliate tracking URL from the link (http://….), this is the tracking code and will credit you with a commission if someone purchases from the store using the link. By the way, you can use other affiliate networks e.g. clickbank, we just used ClixGalore as an example.

STEP 4: Visit CodePROMO.com.au

Okay so you have got your affiliate link and Coupon code, next go to CodePROMO.com.au and hit the “submit coupon” button. You will be required to sign up, once signed up you can submit coupons. Once in the submit coupon area and fill out the form. Now, follow closely, you are going to enter the Affiliate link in the box that asks for it (don’t mean to be obvious).

Next select how long you would like the code and affiliate link to be active, this is up to you as there is a fee involved. The fee is not really a factor as you will make it back within a few hours anyway. Go through the process and your coupon will be displayed on the CodePROMO website. Don’t worry if you get it wrong as the guys at CodePROMO will correct any errors as your submission filters through.

So what has just happened and how will I make money? Okay, so the affiliate link is now attributed to that coupon on CodePromo and whenever someone clicks on the code to activate it, the affiliate link will be activated, then if they purchase you will make a commission. You can log into your ClixGalore account or merchant login and see the stats and how much you have made, most programs will pay your commission at the end of every month.

There is no limit to how many coupons with affiliate links you can put on CodePROMO so the potential to make money is limitless.

CodePROMO Tips: Also it’s a good idea to promote your coupon through linking (use the url from your browser), forums, social networking etc as the more people that click on it and go to the shop and purchase the more money you will make. Some coupons are more rare than others and hence gain more attention so if you can track them down will be more profitable.

Why does it work? This method attracts high conversion rates as the traffic is geared to buy and maybe simply at checkout looking for a coupon or promo code (same thing) before entering payment details. Also note: CodePROMO cloaks affiliate links so no one will know what you are up to.

Please don’t consider this a get rich scheme as it’s not, affiliate marketing is a legit way to make money online and this is simply combining the two together.

CodePROMO has approved this article and it does not breach any terms of use. CodePROMO is the only site in the world to offer affiliate links in submitted coupons so please don’t abuse it and do the wrong thing.

Whenever your shopping online and at checkout you see an area to enter “promo code”, “promotional code” or “coupon code” then you know somewhere someone is offering a discount and one maybe available. Just so you know  Promo Code, Promotional Code and Coupon Code are the same thing as many websites call them different names.

So where do you find coupon codes online? Well there are many great websites but the best is definitely CodePromo it has a huge selection of Australian Coupons that are release  solely through their website. Discounts range from cash off your purchase to Free Gifts from the store.  Some  of the stores are every well known aswell, we has have asked Code Promo for their top 3 coupons:

1. Apple Shop Coupon
2. Rebel Sport Coupon
   
3. QT Girl Coupon
   

The savings from the coupons available can be quite substanial and you will find yourself looking or a discount before you buy anything online. We  recommend you visit Code Promo the next time you are looking for coupons, promotional codes and Vouchers as you never know the discount you may find and the saving you will make. Don’t miss out!

Visit CodePROMO.com.au for more information about coupon savings.

The first place I thought of selling it was Ebay, then I quickly changed my mind. Why? Well because Ebay commissions are actually quite steep on items that are expensive. I was thinking of listing my wedding dress for $2000 and therefore ebay would have charged $87.00, I don’t think so.

Next I tried to use the trading post, I was just about to list it and got to the price and let out an almighty “bull****”. Way to expensive for items of this price range, again like Ebay. I was starting to run out of places that I could sell my wedding dress  online. After much searching around I found SellWeddingDress.com.au, a classified website that is specific to the online sale of wedding dress. I did some looking around and found this website to be the pick, the website was easy to list on, they are getting lots of traffic and the price is the cheapest at $15.95 AUD. It ticked  all the boxes, I listed my wedding dress and that day I had a buyer. A few days later the money hit my PayPal account and the Wedding Dress was sold.

I was really impressed by Sell Wedding Dress and would reccommend them to anyone that is looking to sell their wedding dress quickly and with minimal fuss. Visit Website

Best Australia Wide Job Site - SEEK

No surprises here, SEEK is a Job Site that has reached “household  name”  status with the Australian Public. The main reason we chose SEEK was due to the fact that most employers use it and it is easy to use. However it does have some downfalls. The application process is non-communicative, the jobs are often outdated and since you can’t  contact the employer you can’t follow up on your application (unless they put there details onto the advert. For advertisers it is also a we bit expensive compared with competitors, however they do hold a massive market share so you really don’t have a lot of choice.

Visit the SEEK website

Best Community/Local Job Site - Sunshine Coast Jobs (with a “z”)

I was actually quite surprised with this website as local community based Job Sites have a real problem in a highly competitive  industry. Sunshine Coast Jobs sets it’s self apart from  the others by offering a direct contact with the employer, it’s easy to use and you can search for a particular skill in an advert. Best of all it’s free to everyone. The website caters for jobs throughout the entire Sunshine Coast QLD region, and you can even pinpoint which area like “Maroochydore”. The website is undergoing a makeover at the moment (Aug 09) but should be back up and running by the end of September 09. I would use a community job site over a national job site anytime, they are far more personalized approach to job searching and you will find you have greater success at finding employment.

Best Specialist Job Site - Gurus IT Jobs

Personally I have been using this site since I began working in IT years ago. I have had  great success obtaining work with this Job Site due partly to the fact that is just for IT people and IT employers. The site works on the simple notion that employers will seek employees from a website that is just for their industry. Straight forward, the site is easy to use is always full of Jobs. Take a look.

Generally, the guidelines we recommend for making this determination are related to two things:

1. The serverity of the disability or medical condition.
2. Your level of social confidence.

If the severity of your condition is such that it would have little bearing upon your ability to perform the job in question, our advice is clear: Don’t bring the subject up until the job interview.

In a job interview you will at least gain the opportunity to present your credentials and convince the employer that you can be a valuable contribution despite your disability or medical condition. If you are successful in marketing your overall qualifications and capabilities during the interview, perhaps the conversation can then turn to providing the necessary support and accommodations you need to sustain your job performance at a consistently high level.

Another important consideration when deciding whether to mention your disability or medical condition is your social comfort. If you are fairly comfortable with your disability and will not be embarrassed by the interviewer’s potential surprise or awkwardness, by all means, wait until the job interview.

On the other hand if you have a severe disability or medical condition and feel compelled to advise that employer during application, then do so. Should you elect to advise of your disability or medical condition during application (cover letter or resume), be sure to provide sufficient information. Don’t keep the employer guessing about you ability to perform the job.

The information you provide in your cover letter or resume should give a detailed and accurate description of your physical limitations and how they relate to your ability to function. Don’t overdo it, however. Remember, the employer is really interested in your job qualifications. It is important therefore, that you offer a convincing presentation of your qualifications and your interest in the job. First generate interest in your candidacy, and then, having accomplished this, introduce the subject if your disability, along with a frank description of your limitations and some convincing evidence showing your disability or medical condition will not effect your ability to perform the duties of the role (you may choose to do this at interview).

Some employers will ask in their application paperwork/online form if you have any disability that will prevent you from performing the position. This is a question that is designed to prompt a person with a disability to think over their application and you are not required to answer “yes” unless you feel your disability would have complications in your ability to perform the role. Physical changes to a work place is not a reason that you cannot perform a position, an employer can seek finanical assistance from the Government to make that required alterations.

This matter is rather delicate and I hope this article has answered the readers question.

In the western world, which generally operates according to the principle of supply and demand (either real or artificially created), the following factors determine how much we get paid:

• the demand for the type of job we do;
• how well we do our jobs;
• how difficult it would be to replace us.

As one of the results of the rapid changes in the way modern companies operate in the harsh ecomonic climates, long-term employment is disapearing, leaving those unprepared for such a change in confusion. We simply cannot rely on our employers to take care of us until we retire.

Therefore, the only security you can count on has come from within yourself. It is based in your knowledge, skills and know-how. In order to succeed in life you have to take time and make the effort to improve your education and acquire skills that are in demand by employers. In todays business climate on point should be emphasised.

“There is no such thing as a secure job”

Some naive players in the job game think their jobs are “for life”. The sense off security that existed in the past. They Falsely presume that:

• their jobs won’t change
• their jobs will always exist;
• the employers will feel grateful for their (employee) achievements in the past;
• the employers will take care of their careers, promote them and reward them for a job well done;
• if they lose their jobs , the employer will employ them back as soon as the hard times are over;

The reality is very different. In todays corporate world “Big Business” is interested only in their profits and the return to their shareholders and investors. They are too busy to think about you and your family. If things start to go wrong, for whatever reason, you will given two weeks notice (or a month, if you are lucky).

For us, ordinary mortal souls, the only comforting thought in the whole story is the fact that everybody is in the same boat, from cleaners to CEOs. Whole lines of management are disapearing, professionals (engineers, lawyers, accountants) are being retrenched; the axe falls on all layers of the corporate structure. No one can escape it.

So, like it or not, you had better start to like living dangerously as the ecomonic climate is not going to get any better until at least 2011. If you don’t already enjoy it, force yourself to accept challenge and uncertainty. Try to conquer the symptoms of the “Ostrich Syndrome”. Don’t bury your head in the sand. You can use it for better purposes - to observe the job market around you, not the trends, make conclusions and plan your actions.

There are however things that you can do the improve how you fell about your job search, and yourself.

• Take Charge! Accept responsibility for your life and your job search.

• Talk positive about yourself and your abilities.

• Let go of regrets about the past.

• Focus on the long term future and try not to get bogged down in your immediate situation.

• Rarely is there ever a “perfect” job, so avoid getting all your hopes pinned on the one “perfect” position that you have discovered. If you are unsuccessful, there will always be an equal, or even better position around the corner for you to try again.

• The job search is no time to be humble. Read every complimentary thing about yourself that you can find. Letters of praise, past awards, prizes, recognitions, references, performance appraisals, and any other positive things you have are always good ways to remind yourself of your worth and talents.

• The start of your day will set the tempo for everything that follows. Do something every morning that will put you in a good mood, whether that is taking  walk, listening to music, doing a crossword, or just relaxing with a good coffee.

• Get Physical! You’ve heard the saying, “healthy body, healthy mind.” Keeping yourself healthy and in good physical shape will boost your energy levels and make it easier to maintain a positive mental attitude.

• It is helpful to have somebody else to share ideas with and to review your progress on a regular basis.

• Set a time limit (3o  minutes, for example) on how long you will allow yourself to stay down when you feel a little depressed.

• Join a professional group for association. If you are looking for a job in a certain profession, joining an association can be an excellent way to keep up to date on developments and trends. It will help you develop your network and put you in contact with people who may be able to help you locate suitable vacancies. Read more about job networking >>>

• Keep growing. Continue to develop your skills and knowledge while looking for work. Read more about upskilling and training >>>

• Very few people land the very first job they apply for. You can see a job rejection as personal attack on your abilities or character, or you can see it as an opportunity to grow and learn more about yourself.

• Procrastination is a sure way to lower your self esteem.

• Surround yourself with supportive, positive people.

• Talk to someone. you might fell really burned out, angry or frustrated after a long, unsuccessful job search. Or you might reach a stage where you want to give up looking for work all together. At this point it might be a good idea to talk to a trained professional, such as a consellor, psychologist or religious leader that can help you to sort our your feelings.

Don’t give up, if you do you will never get a job.

“Don’t be afraid of rejection it’s part of cold canvassing”

Benefits of cold canvassing:

• You will create a stronger relationship with the employer , compared with phone/email canvassing.
• If a job comes up, they will remember you. Our brains remember faces and physical interaction far better than voices or text.
• 70% of the job market is hidden, they may need someone just haven’t advertised it. You just might walk in at the right time.
• Employers will be impressed by your enthusiasm and effort to obtain work. They will relate this to your work ethic.
• If the employer has time you can quickly go over your resume and stamp out any assumptions they may make about you.
• Now we’ve gone through the benefits, let’s take a look how you can make your cold canvassing efforts a success.

How to Cold Canvas:

• Always ask for the manager - they make the decisions not the workers.
• Dress in business attire  - it’s important you make a good first impression.
• Have a well written resume prepared - indentify any concerns the employer may have and if you have time stamp them out. e.g. Gaps in employment, maybe your where just travelling overseas instead employers may assume you are a unreliable worker.
• Be polite and accept they maybe having a bad day or be busy. If they’re busy just leave your resume and give them a follow up call in a few days time.
• Don’t oversell yourself as you may come across as being “cocky” or over confident. As the saying goes “less is often best”.
• If it’s a small business include a genuine complement about their business. This will appeal to the owners ego and pride.
• Try not to leave the business without some sort of information that will get you closer to getting work. Ask questions like: “Do you know of anyone looking for staff” or “Do you have any positions that maybe coming up”.
• Do waste their time, plan your approach and have a backup questions. The last thing you want to do is stand there with nothing to say looking like an idiot. For example: Computer Shop - Ask about the “diagnostic  tools” they use and discuss it. This not only keeps the conversation flowing but allows you to showcase your knowledge on the subject.
• Take their Business Card. This will allow you to have the managers name and contact details.

Follow up

Always follow up - this step is often forgotten about but is imperative  to your cold canvassing success. However be sure not to follow up too often as you may annoy the potential employer. The best way to follow up is with a phone call, remind them about your meeting and she if they have had time to read your resume.

Lastly - be confident! The worst that can happen is you get a “No” but imagine if you get a “Yes”.

Good Luck!
