Other ways I shamelessly exploit myself

So, I had my photo shoots. Well, two of them anyway. I have to shower and prepare myself for a third tonight (this one will be with a 50% royalty agreement on the photos - yay!). I have to say, I loved my first shoot. The photographer was open and candid, and even though I was a little nervous and unsure of myself, she helped me determine the mood we were looking for and work with it. I did end up with a splinter in my foot (OW.) but I feel confident that the images will turn out well. The second photographer was working with lighting, and did a good job setting that up, but I had trouble getting a feel for what we were aiming to accomplish in the shoot, and I felt my images didn't turn out as well with the lack of creative direction.

Looking forward to setting up more shoots this week, hopefully Wednesday, and maybe even another one on Saturday if the photographers get back to me. You know creative types though... In the meantime, I'm continuing to use other mediums to pursue extra cash. Checking in on my profile on Sitter City to try and start babysitting again (which is much harder than I remember it being in highschool). It's funny, now that I'm older and more experienced in life, people seem more scared to have my watch their children. I'll probably need to suck it up and fork over the $50 for a background check so parents will trust me, but honestly, what happened to finding sitters through word of mouth? I also created an account on Elance - I'll have to go look in on that in a minute. Yes, it's another freelancing website. Then I downloaded this app onto my phone 'We Reward'. Here's the link:
I signed up for @wereward you can earn cash for local checkins so all my foursquare addict friends start earning cash!http://we.rw/u2BhD

Basically, if you've ever used foursquare or facebooks checking in service, it's the same thing, except you get points for check ins at certain places, or activities (taking a photo with your friday's server for instance) and then can cash out. Bonus - if you refer people (like, if you click on my link and sign up) you get 10% of whatever they do. So they get 100% of their earnings, but you get 10% of their earnings added to yours. Win for everyone.

Lastly, I want to shout out and advocate BzzAgent. You don't get paid, but you get to try out things before they come to market... which I think is pretty awesome. Right now I'm testing this website, Smarterer. It tests your knowledge on anything and everything. I've enjoyed the Photoshop and Facebook quizzes (especially being in the top 50, say what?) so feel free to check that out too. And no, I don't make any money off of this one, I'm just spreading the word.
