The topic of employee rights is hotter than ever, and you don’t want to find yourself in the sights of a big time labor lawsuit because you kept your employees in the dark. Unfortunately, there are so many labor laws out there right now that it’s hard to keep track of them all yourself, let alone keeping your employees informed. However, there is a convenient solution to this dilemma: Posters.

There’s nothing worse than putting a great presentation together, then going to print it out and getting that deadly message Out of Toner. Another classic scenario is that you go to copy it and find that you’re all out of copy paper. Hopefully, you’re audience doesn’t mind sharing. The point is this: You can’t underestimate the importance of having office supplies in-stock and available. From toner to copy paper, there are tons of basic supplies that play a role in keeping the modern office up and running. However, it can be a real pain to go to the store and lug around all of the supplies you might need. That’s why online ordering of these supplies has become so popular. A great example of this is Supplies USA.

*Note: This specific review applies only to those readers in the UK, or who are looking to start a business in the UK.

Finding the right place to house your company can be a rough task. There are so many options out there, it’s hard to figure out where to begin. The paper? An agent? Word of mouth? With so many options to choose from, it may seem like finding a needle in a haystack. However, luckily for those in the UK, there’s an online service out there that provides some great tools to make your search that much easier: London Office Space.

Blogs are quickly becoming a legitimate business. Before you scoff at this statement, let me make two observations:

1.) No longer are blogs just considered “diaries”, or a collection of random thoughts that only the author really cares about. While these kinds of blogs do exist, there is a rising number of blogs that are aimed at a specific niche and provide informative articles that are well targeted for their audience.

2.) More and more bloggers are learning how to profit from their blogs. It doesn’t have to be a million dollars, but it can make a significant difference. Some ethically, some unethically, but that is the nature of any business.

Accessing your computer files has become easier than ever these days. It seems that anywhere you go, there is some tool or technology that will allow you to have instant access to all your files with little hassle. One such service that provides this kind of accessibility is provided by IBackup. I’ve written about these guys before for their file backup services, and I think they’ve hit the mark again with their online storage service.

Taking a look at their online storage features page, they provide a number of options for online storage. Here are a few that I found particularly interesting:

Reality Television. It seems like you can’t change the channel these days without running into a reality tv show. American Idol, Survivor, The Surreal Life, they run rampant on almost every channel. The problem is that only a handful of these shows are on a topic that I even remotely care about, making their existence more annoying than anything. However, by skipping the medium of television entirely, I’ve found a reality series that is both entertaining and on a subject that I’m very interested. This reality show is called RockStartup.

PayPerPost (one way you can grow blog traffic) is at again, this time promising some big news that will be released in the next few weeks. The question is: What could it be? A new mind control device? The answer to cold fusion? Perhaps a new race of super beings that are the next step in human evolution? Who knows, however I do have my own theory which I shall now subject you too: I think they are expanding their network. This is a little vague, but I think they could do it in one of the following ways:

As you may know, I’ve started trying out PayPerPost, a new blog marketing service. One of my main questions going into it was: How profitable is this going to be for me? It takes a good amount of time for me to write a post on average, and my standards are pretty high for which opps I’ll take from PPP. Based on these two facts, I was concerned about how much return I could get from the program. My starting out goal was to average $10.00 a day. So how did it turn out so far?

You may have noticed that some of my posts lately have had “This is a sponsored post” at the end of them. This is because I’m trying out a new system called PayPerPost, a company that specializes in blog marketing. At PayPerPost, advertisers pay bloggers to write about a certain topic. However, the bloggers have complete control over whether or not they want to take on a commission from an advertiser, and full disclosure is required by PayPerPost on these posts (In my case, “This is a sponsored post.”). The commissions are pretty good, as they only charge a small service fee compared to other similar sites. In fact, if you have a high traffic blog you can earn some serious commissions (I’ve seen some for $50 or more, up to a $1,000). Even if you don’t have a high traffic site, you can still earn some nice commissions.

I like this system because it allows me to keep the integrity of my site intact. For example, some advertisers specify that they want a positive review. Personally, I don’t agree with that so I only take commissions where I can be completely objective about the subject matter and I always check out the site first before I write about it. This has worked out well for me. Also, it has allowed me to remove the Google ads from the individual posts, which is a nice bonus.

Overall, it’s working out great for me, I’ll keep you posted as time goes on.

The Product Reviews category is a new addition to the site, and I think this is a great first entry.

You’ve probably noticed the red banner next to the search box at the top of the page. This is my affiliate banner for Adsense Videos by Michael Cheney. Yes, because it’s an affiliate banner I get a percentage when they make a sale through it. However, I wouldn’t use an affiliate that I hadn’t used myself and thought was a good quality product, and that’s exactly what these videos are.
