Google Earth team introduced a new survey for the downloadable application that will require the users' answers to improve the program.The "User Experience Research" is quite a short form because it asks only a few questions, most of them being related to the Google Earth features.The most interesting aspect of the survey is that you can get paid as the search giant is offering a certain amount of money for certain feedback formsThe will pay $75 for each time you spend with Google researcher!
The survey asks participants questions related to the frequency of using Google Earth as well as the most used features of the downloadable application.For example, you're required to mention if you're currently using the directions feature, the layers, the placemarks or the polygons.A few days ago, the Mountain View company introduced a Blogger research that was paying also $75 per user.

Seven Tips For Work-At-Home Motivation
Considering a work-from-home business? Clients often say their biggest fear is loss of momentum. Here are ten tips to keep yourself motivated and productive.
(1) Build structure into your day.
Create a schedule and To Do list every evening for the next day, before you sign off for the day. (And yes � it is important to sign off, even if you return later to complete a project.) Include breaks and email reading time.
(2) Define goals by numbers ("write 1000 words") instead of time ("2 hours on Mega account"). One of the joys of working at home is you get to quit when you�re finished ahead of schedule.
(2) Train friends and neighbors to respect your working hours.
Clients tell me about neighbors who say things like, "I told the UPS truck to leave the package at your house since you�re always home." Discourage phone calls with a prepared response, like "I will call you after four o�clock today." You will be tested. Prepare to hang tough.
(3) Get the family on board.
Deal with their concerns before you start and be prepared to show how you are creating a win-win situation. Clarify what counts as an emergency � a valid reason to interrupt while you are working - and what can wait till dinnertime.
(4) Build breaks into your schedule.
When I started my own business, I was warned, "Plan to get out of the house! Otherwise you'll never leave your desk."
Frankly, I didn�t get it.
Why wouldn�t I take breaks? Now as I find myself answering just one more email, or adding two more paragraphs to an article, I see the clock move and realize I must stop if I want to get to the gym or the store before closing time.
Bonus Tip: A dog will force you to get moving, no matter what else is going on in your life.
(5) Make promises you will be motivated to keep.
My weekly ezine motivates me to write at least one article a week. You may be energized by company and client deadlines.
As your responsibilities grow, you will tend to accumulate more and more "real" deadlines and it�s easier to stay motivated. But in the early stages, you�re isolated, you�re working hard and results don�t appear immediately. That�s why some people hire coaches and consultants to create accountability.
(7) Give yourself time to test your commitment.
Not everyone enjoys the work-at-home option. My clients tell me they need six to twelve months to decide how they are responding to this arrangement. You may decide to return to a workplace where you can see real people everyday. Or you may get hooked on having a dog-friendly, gossip-free workplace where you can open the windows all year round.

Making Money From Blogs
Blogs are a relatively new way to make money, but the fact is that your average person could make a good deal of money through blogging. While there are many people that have their own personal web logs or blogs, there are other blogs that are quite informative, fun to read, and even lucrative. If you have a bit of writing talent or a unique point of view you'll likely find that you can make money blogging. Blogging can be a lot of fun, and if you approach it just right it can also make you some money.
There are some very well known blogs that are tied to big newspapers, big cable providers, and television shows. These blogs are generally written by people that have a lot of writing or marketing experience so chances are you won't be able to start off writing such a blog, but it doesn't mean that you can't make money doing it! You can actually make money writing your own personal blog if you set up your blog in the right place. There are blogging websites that help you make money by charging those that want to read and write a membership fee. The membership fee is then split between the bloggers based on how many people that read their blogs over a period of time. Many people can make hundreds of dollars a month through this sort of blogging system and it is simply a rewarding way to get your information, point of view, or stories out there where other people can read them.
More and more websites are finding that blogs are a great way to relate to their readers. There are family websites, arts and crafts websites, and more that have set up numerous blogs so that there is new information being posted to their site blogs every day. Bloggers can be paid either by the word, by the post, or dependent upon the number of visitors that read their blog each day or month. If you are an aspiring writer this is a great way to get started because it will give you publishing credit as well as a “real” job to sort of get you used to writing every day. Blogging gives writers exposure, which is what most writers are looking for!
You can also make money from your blogs if you use Google Adsense or a similar program on your blog site. Not only can you make money through the actual posting of your blogs as was mentioned previously, but you can also make money if visitors click on the advertisements on your website or blog space. If you are affiliated with a company or blogging website you may not be able to put the advertisements on your blog without permission but over the period of a month you can make a lot of money through these programs. The great thing is that Google will only post ads that are relevant to the information on your blog, so your loyal blog fans will be more likely to click, earning you more money.
The great thing about blogging is that you can do it from home, in your pajamas, or just in your free time. You might start out blogging as a hobby, and before long you might be able to pay the bills on what you make. Research blogging and see if there is not some way that you can make it pay your bills! Chances are with a little luck and a computer you can make blogging work for you, so have fun with it.
