So I at last come closer to reviving my group ideas, be they cooking, random meet ups, showing visitors around the country or all 3 mixed together with more, they will be fun times indeed. This does include self help and similar group ideas too! I have not been on my forum for a while but I can post updates there again to kick start a group there or on my other sites or a group in spirit but physically (so to speak) visit other domains randomly as a random meeting place while also keeping the idea for physical groups to help with people suffering from illnesses such as Depression but not limited to and also for anyone who just wants to learn about it, get advice, share their ideas, help and so on. Please do get in touch! Attitudes may well of changed but there is still work to be done on some peoples and less mentions is good if it is because there is less people suffering, however we know that is not the case and there are many charities helping and individuals which is just as good but some are still not understanding and some do of course want to learn so that is good. Often people find themself getting involved randomly. Check out www.wix.com/barryvp/ourworld I started some group pages right there! I will add when I can stay tuned and let's all have fun! :) Hi people (I notice this post has had 6 views! So I see you have been reading, thank you). Here is a link- http://barryvp.wix.com/ourworld#!__master-page-45 Oh and forum too- http://portal1.forumotion.co.uk/ I will keep updating, just added some random details for now! Have fun and enjoy your day :) Oh P.S... I am on interpals.net, joined a while ago and have found lovely people there, an international penpal site basically. Have fun! :)

Earn money online. Now often when one hears that online it is the start of a very funny or not very funny scam. But there are however moral and legal ways to do so. Run your own business, selling stuff, selling websites, the list is endless, or so it may seem to some. There are also other ways to boost your income and get some free money and your trusted blogger Barry knows a little about them! Oh yes. I often used to focus on survey sites and so I could perhaps do a blog with lists of all survey and other online related income schemes but here for now is just a brief touch. I stopped doing surveys sort of accidentally.. you see they took up so much time and you are free usually to take surveys whenever you want to or within a certain time upon receiving one via email however I yearned to reach the required amount to withdraw and so ended up spending more time than I would of liked so we just...drifted apart. I still receive emails from some like Valued opinions, so I have not actively quit...but just not actively participated. I have gone through many companies/brands; One Poll YouGov (Nothing to do with the government despite many people thinking so!) Toluna Valued Opinions ..and many more. In the "Final days" One poll was one of my favourite. Yes you did need £40 (wait for it!) to redeem HOWEVER surveys were far more consistent and regular in appearance and so one could spend as much time as I did tangling with other survey sites or less even and yet earn the same amount of money or often more. Surveys had a set price of something like 5p or 10p often and to think I often got around 5-10 surveys a day at some times. However, me and other people suspect as you get nearer to £40 the surveys purposely become less regular and dissappear..but still...I got £80 from them...so all good! I did start to cut down and focus on just 2 survey sites before I stopped doing them altogether and One Poll was one of them but I prefer time above all and wanted more time for other things but if you are able to do say just a few surveys or less a day and not mind waiting a little bit longer to redeem then this is for you! Unfortunately they had a sister site named "Young Poll" for children that was less...generous. My sister had to battle to get her £20 (Naturally their amount needed to redeem was half) and eventually received a cheque...apparently they were stopping the website but people were still able to sign up! Hmmm... One Poll on the other hand were good with a forum that I happened to be invited to trial when they first set it up, unfortunately I have not been on for a while but it had an interesting feel about it being both visually and engagingly bright. There are many other way to earn money online too. Affiliates (That itself branching of into other methods), writing content for money, websites like fiverr.com where you offer a service or a product for £5 or more and also concepts I had only tried more recently such as pay per click. Ah how does that work! No really that is it. Well sorta. Some companies require sign ups and bla bla bla propose to me and I'll give you one cent bla bla bla and other trickery that never seemed to of been stated on the sign up page HOWEVER some website genuinely do pay you money for just providing people with something to touch and not do anything with beyond that. Cash fly and Link bucks are just two of these. If you want 3 billion pounds deposited into your account tonight then I suggest you ignore the rest of this and start emailing back that poor chap who keeps emailing you about the F.B.I. leaving him a large amount of money and you have been ignoring for years or wait for me to become an author and I shall lend you some money :P If you want however perhaps £10/$10 a month or week..who knows (Like most if not all jobs, pay to some extent depends on you, what free time you have, method you use etc)... then this could be for you. And not to belittle £10 at all..give me a penny and I will be happy I am grateful for anything but some people like to search online for "How to make bla bla in 1 day" and well...yes there are ways to. Half of them Illegal. The other half immoral. Take your pick. Plus you can always combine this with other things like say a survey site and keep boosting your income, plus websites like One Poll allow more than one member in a household to sign up! Maybe you are short of a bit of cash for your holiday or want to pay back a friend. So far (I joined Link bucks very recently) I have got a few clicks and expect I was paid under £1 for each click I'll have to check, there is no minimum amount needed to redeem though! So literally, you can play for pennies, perfect for when you want to buy something from Ebay and you have an odd amount of money in Paypal! Ah speaking of scampal (Those words look at home together), you can be paid in Paypal or by cheque, or so that is the UK selection anyway. I am not sure if any transaction fees are taken from Paypal payments, some websites tell you Paypal do but I had one I think a survey site that said they cover the cost which was kind. Of course this could raise concerns, being a highly ethical person some people might spam. Of course that word can be "Hijacked", if not seeking to harm and not accidentally harming and your friend does not mind you posting random messages to them for fun then that is fine but I mean clogging up the internet with spam, emailing random people to say "Click on this link" so you can get more money could be a problem. Of course emailing is a modern form of saying hi and if you want to email a random person it is a shame that sadly your message may be received as spam and ignored, if you have good intent and whether you tell them or not you get paid for sending this link it may not be neccessarily bad, however there is the question of whether people want to receive messages from strangers, otherwise I would say go ahead, who knows what new friends you could make. Perhaps there could be an email version of the Telephone Preference Service? But there are plenty of unquestionable ways to go about this while we debate the questionable ones. You love showing your friends funny pages right? Simply copy the link so Link Bucks can change it an then copy the new link they give you and you could do it every so often if it is a hassle to keep navigating to the site to change links even if the website is already open and you just change tabs. However on that note and perhaps with that in min, Link Bucks have a plugin so you can produce links more swiftly and also not have to have the website open. Cash fly do have a very nice visual interface as well and update your statistices very quickly! Well here are some links! https://cashfly.com/r/bleP http://cf2.me/2IwH
