One Of Best Free Sample Places Walmart.com (written Feb 15th 2010)
Another wonderful thing about freebies from Walmart. THEY WILL ALWAYS SHOW UP. No wondering IF your free sample will arrive. It will, I have never had a problem. The toilet paper the second time did take almost 6 weeks to get here BUT the important part is it did arrive, funny thing was it arrived on a day that I ran out of toilet paper and had not been stocked up. How lucky is that? Usually the freebies show up in less than 2 weeks. I have had them show up just 4 days after ordering them. So you can feel condifent when filling out the VERY simple forms that you will get your sample without a doubt. (I love the forms too they are really simple not a bunch of hoops to jump through just to get your free sample).
Anyway the point of sharing this with my followers and whomever else likes to hear what is on my mind, what I am doing online to make money, save money or where I am selling, and any advice this every day at home mommy might have is that Walmart.com freebies is a really great place to stop by and check out what they are offering (check often). Hopefully you keep up on it better than I have. I am always doing so much, running in circles I do tend to forget great things like this. Not today though. Today I remembered to go check out Walmart.com and check out the free samples and snag up the freebies that appealed to me. Below I am going to share the freebies they are offering right now (Feb 15th 2010). Don't miss out on these great freebies and keep an eye out for even more to come. I don't think they have any kind of schedule for changing their offers. Its possible when they get to a certain amount offered they cancel that offer and have a new one lined up to go in it's place. IF YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW of any kind of schedule you have noticed if you do the Walmart freebies already OR as you start to do them if you notice any kind of schedule to it, please share in a comment here. Not near enough people comment. I would LOVE to hear from you all. I see you coming. I know people are visiting and reading but to my disapointment comments are rare especially the more I blogged the less comments.
So in addition to sharing the Walmart freebies below I would also like to hear some comments, it can be on any blog I have written. Check back before my surgery for lots of interesting blogs also. Some Bonanzle blogs need a little updating but overall they are still chocked full of great info. Now OFF TO WALMART you go to grab your freebies, and either share them with your family, or fill them out for your family (which I do a lot of times because my family & friends would forget even more than I do ha ha ha).
If there are any problems with ANY links - here in this post or any other please let me know by emailing me at Kim8776@gmail.com (I will be getting an email soon dedicated strictly to my blogging but, since I am going to be starting more blogs in addition to the 2 I have now) but for now that email is find. Or come drop me a message at KimsKorner on Bonanzle as I check those VERY often through the day http://bonanzle.com/kimskorner (as I write this I do not have any items up right now but will soon again,hopefully tonight) still trying to catch up on everything since all the time I have been down after surgery.
Now On to what you REALLY want - the FREE GOODIES! Yeah we know what your here for. To grab some FREE samples, to find out where to grab them and find simple easy links to those free samples to grab them now, fast and simple.
Edit on Feb 16th 2010: I did not manage to get this post up last night. So same samples may not be available. I will try to update this post with the current ones I see this evening tonight at bottom of post. All info about Walmart.com free samples is still the most important part of this blog entry. Thank you
Benefiber Orange Powder Free Sample

Prilosec OTC 24 Hour Protection from Heartburn
http://instoresnow.walmart.com/EnhancedRenderContent.aspx?id=82774
UnderwearJams Night Wear (samples in 2 sizes your choice) (this is offered through Walmart Samples but will take you to fill out the free sample form on the UnderJams site itself - opened in separate window for me as all Walmart samples do as well for me)
http://instoresnow.walmart.com/enhancedrendercontent_ektid83502.aspx
Sometimes there are more samples than others. These were the ones I found this evening. I cannot promise they will not change at any point in time, even tonight.
Also I wanted to note they also have a section called FREE TOOLS where you can find interesting things in there as well.
AND WALMART OFFERS HUNDREDS of PRESCRIPTION Medicines at only $4.00 - so for those of you that do not have inusurance and don't know how you are going to fill that script that can cost you even up to 100.00 or more depending on the medication. Please check out and make sure your script cannot be filled at Walmart for only $4.00. There are other stores that offer things like this as well. I do not know of any that I am positive do it. I have heard Publix & Target and rumors of others that do similar things as well with certain medications for blood pressure, antibiotics, and much more for a low low price. So you might want to check other places if your medication is not on Walmarts $4.00 list OR if you do not have a Walmart near you.
Hope this blog entry tonight was helpful to some out there at least. If anything I write even just helps out one person than I feel it was worth writing it. THANK YOU for reading. Please hit the follow button over on the side of blog, and leave a comment if you have something to add or just want to say hi. PLEASE no advertising other blogs or sites in the comment sections. You can add your website/blog url where it asks when leaving a comment. Thanks again

A Different Kind Of Blog Promoting Bonanzle
Well I headed over to read her blog. What I found was just like Bonanzle. Everything but the ordinary. I would have a hard time even explaining it, but basically it is an ongoing story that she adds a new post to every Tuesday. The booths she features get a picture & link but the blog itself is something very very special. She has found a way to mix her love (and much talented I have to add) for fiction writing with a way for her to help promote Bonanzle.
I found this so new and different I felt I needed to share it with everyone.
http://bonanzlebijou.blogspot.com/
Be sure to follow her and check back on Tuesdays for new and exciting reading.
Very talented person here!
I am proud to see my avatar/booth on her outstanding blog!

Bonanzle Voted Best eBay Alternative Of 2008
Now Bonanzle has been named yet again the Best eBay Alternative site, this time by the readers vote for Best eBay alternative of 2008 at SmallBusinessComputing.
In their words Bonanzle was "The runaway winner in the eBay Alternative category" so as we can see it was not even a close finish. Apparently Bonanzle topped the charts in votes! To me being a seller and buyer on Bonanzle I can see why they are winning the awards and topping the charts as I see it first hand as a user all of the time.
Way to go Bonanzle! Those of us over on Bonanzle already have known from our own experience that they are by far the best alternative, but to win this has to have Bill Harding feeling very proud, as he should be since Bonanzle is his site, and what he has created with his perfect blend of shopping,socializing & simplicity is, well it is simply outstanding.
You can view the results of the Small Business Computing awards here
2009 Awards: Readers Pick the Best Small Business Tech Tools
Thank you to the great minds who have given us all at Bonanzle THE BEST eBay Alternative by far!

Bonanzle: Social Medias Quickly Growing Alternative to eBay
Bonanzle: Social Medias Quickly Growing Alternative to eBay
Saturday, December 27, 2008
Go Bonanzle Go (What You Haven't Heard?) You Are Missing Out Then
First of all I will start by saying this. Taking a chance and setting up a booth on Bonanzle is well worth it and so easy to do. It takes about 2 minutes between filling in the short sign up and confirming the email they send to become a Bonanzle member. The screen name you choose when signing up will be in the url to your booth. Your booth name you can choose later. I however think it is wise to have a matching url to your booth. If you already joined bonanzle and did not think about having matching user name and booth name you can always get a re-direct at http://thebonz.com
Second thing I highly suggest before even moving onto listing items for sale (you will be tempted to just get to listing because it is so simple to do). Fill in your profile. Let others get to know you and what kinds of items you sell etc.
Now in setting up your booth. Click on the sell tab at the top of the screen. It will then give you 3 options to choose from. I advise picking standard. It is the all around universal choice and does not limit. I have 3 booths right now and have chose standard on all of them. My customers can pick up or have items shipped and I choose whichever payment methods I will accept. Now you are taken to the page to list your item you can click on the green box and get to listing in a one page simple listing form that even includes cropping option for your photo's. On this page also first edit your booth name This is what your links when you post in the forums will display. For instance I am KimsKorner but I chose my booth name to read Kims Korner Booth. Or my NEW book shop is KimsKornerBooks But I chose the booth name to read Kims Korner Books for it to read nicer in links. Also edit your payments you accept here as well.
Okay so now you will want to click on the advanced options tab and set up combined discounts, times & days for pick ups, etc. You will see all of the options there and it is all very easy to go through and set it all up.
Really instead of me explaining all of this it is even simpler to just head over, sign up and get going. It is the most simple sign up & listing I have seen to have a booth up and running in only moments with no monthly charge and no fee per item to list. The only fee you will see is a very low final value fee when an item sells.
Okay your all signed up, maybe have some items listed for sale now. Fine tune your listings making sure you have included lots of key words in your titles. Make sure your descriptions are, well are descriptive examples: color, shape, size, condition etc. If your selling clothes remember sizes vary by brand greatly. Pull out that measuring tape and take some measurements for a better chance of your item selling. If you have a charm for a necklace or some buttons maybe take the photo of them next to a quarter or measuring tape so the customer can SEE the size.
Now for the real fun. Bonanzle has it set up so there is a chat room in each booth. You can talk to your customers and answer questions right there on the spot. This is not mandatory but it is such a fun feature to have. There are also forums. You will find all of us truly addicted Bonanzle members in there all of the time pretty much. Click on the People tab, you will see a list of latest topics ALSO from here right above those there is a link that says Discussions, click on this link and you will be brought to a list of forum topics. Find the one Introduce Yourself and head on in. Post a new topic there introducing yourself to the community. Get ready for a big Bonanzle welcome because Bonanzle is just chock full of friendly people who will be happy to see you and head on over and take a peek at your new booth.
Also in the forums you will find TMT which stands for Tickle Me Tuesday. It is a fun game run by members you can sign up for. Its a great way to get to know other Bonanzlers and to be seen and help others be seen as well. You sign up then on Tuesdays between 2pm and 11pm Eastern time you have to tag at least 5 items in other participating booths. Everyone tries to visit and tag as many booths as they can but the minimum is 5. Everyone runs some kind of sale that is participating so it's also a great time to find lots of deals! After you have tagged an item in 5 booths make sure you send a contact message to the tickle me tuesday booth stating simply the 5 booth names and next to each one the item tagged. This enters you into a drawing to win a prize offered from one of the booths that week. So it's a fun friendly game, that gains you exposure while doing it and you can win a prize too!
In the forums you can also find Weekend & Weekday challenges. These are run by AngiesJewerly. Angie works very hard keeping these challenges updated as we go along through each one. To enter a challenge you just sign up in that particular challenge thread going on. Angie will add your booth & sale info to the list. In order to participate you agree you will make a purchase (however small or big of purchase you choose to) from one of the other participating booths. Once you make your purchase you let angie know and she puts a * next to your booth name on the list. When you make a sale to someone in the challenge a $ goes next to your name on the list. During the challenge we all chat in the thread and let each other know when we list new items etc. It's very fun, great way to meet others and yet another great way to get your booth seen even more.
The forums are also a great place to go for help. Now really all you have to do is contact support at Bonanzle and Bill & Mark are just awesome about getting back to you personally quickly to answer any questions you might have. The site is growing very very fast though so whenever possible its great to post your question on the forums. Usually you will get a response within minutes from other helpful Bonanzle members... Giving the Boyz running the site time to work on other things for us :)
Now for the numbers as promised. You want to know if you will see results selling on Bonanzle. Well it's different for everyone. I can't promise you will get sales right away. I can promise you will have fun, its free, and as long as you put effort into it you will see results.
Currently there are 15,941 users on Bonanzle (this will change within minutes of me writing this). Out of those 3091 have booths. So if you are asking yourself "Is it all sellers or are their buyers as well". I think that answers the question right there. The majority of Bonanzle members do not have a booth set up.
For buyers there is a HUGE assortment of items to choose from currently 599904 items are listed on Bonanzle and more being added as I write this. The sellers are able to offer items at a lower price than on sites like eB*y because they are not being charged outrageous fees on Bonanzle. Therefore as a buyer you are likely to find some really out of this world deals. Many sellers also offer OBO on their items. Myself personally I offer OBO on every item in my booth. So if a customer wants to make me an offer on one item or multiple items they can.
My KimsKorner booth. I started on Halloween night 2008. I currently have 252 items listed. Would be more but I have sold a lot since joining. It did take a week or two to start getting sales but since then in just my KimsKorner booth I have sold 92 items. I have had 8097 visits to my booth. In addition to those stats in my "My Bonanzle" it also lists stats for how many times each item was viewed so I can see which ones are getting the most traffic.
I can go on and on forever about the many benefits of Bonanzle, but really in less than 2 minutes signing up and confirming the email you can be on your way to finding it all out instantly and seeing for yourself. There is really no better way then to try something out for yourself as proof. You stand nothing to lose by giving it a try. The only way you can lose out is by sitting there and saying "oh just another eBay alternative" BECAUSE this is not just another alternative. This is new, different and simply the best alternative out there.
You need to find a great deal? Head over to Bonanzle. You want a friendly community on a site to buy & sell? Head on over to Bonanzle. You want free listings? Head on over to Bonanzle. You want simple listing options? Head Over to Bonanzle. You want a site that the owners and staff actually care about their members? Head on over to Bonanzle.
YOU WANT CHANGE? DON'T WAIT! HEAD ON OVER TO BONANZLE NOW!

Secret Santa's On Bonanzle
Thank you all the Secret Santa's out there for brightening my day and so many others!
Thursday, December 11, 2008
A Huge List Of Places To Add Your Link or RSS Feed - Thank You To Everyone Invloved (Updated Frequently)
This list will be updated frequently. Many times on Bonanzle & other sites members share places they have found to either place an add for free, a link or to submit your RSS feed from your site, blog or Bonanzle booth. The list below starts with places to put your links compiled by CabinFever from Bonanzle. Then I will keep adding more under this list that I find and that others find. You might find a few doubles between different lists.
Well today I signed into Bonanzle and found a fellow member had been hard at work compiling a list of sites to promote. I cannot take credit for the list I am adding to my blog today ALL CREDIT for the hard work put into this list GOES TO Cabin Fever. You can see Cabin Fever's Booth on Bonanzle here: http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/CabinFever
Thank you Cabin Fever for all of your hard work. You are truly an awesome person! Now to share here (and for my own selfish reasons of making it easy for me to find the list in a simple click lol).

THANK YOU AGAIN TO CABIN FEVER FOR THE WORK PUT INTO CREATING AND ORGANIZING THIS LIST http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/CabinFever
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Next we have a list shared on the Bonanzle forum by Steve AKA The Jewerly Shack
I put my own notes next to the links as I went through. Not all of them have notes from me but most do. I highly suggest http://millionrss.com and after you submit your RSS url there search for Bonanzle and BUMP your fellow Bonanzlers entries. Remember if you have a blog do one for the your blog and one for your booth (your booth on Bonanzle RSS feed can be found in "My Bonanzle - Promote - Use Blogs To Promote")
http://Feedest.com (one of my favorites so far)
http://Blogoculars.com (one of my favorites so far)
http://2RSS.com
http://FeedsFarm.com
http://RssFeeds.com
http://RSSaround.com
http://Feedbees.com
http://FeedsHoster.com
http://Plazoo.com
http://Page2go2.com
http://Feedooyoo.com
http://RSSmicro.com
http://FeedFury.com
http://Octora.com (one of my favorites so far)
http://FindRSS.net (this one wanted a payment so I skipped them)
http://FeedBase.net (I could not figure this one out, but maybe someone else can)
http://RSSmotron.com (this one was easy too)
http://MoreNews.be (they are looking for things with news, if your blog includes news good place to put it)
http://DayTimeNews.com (I kept getting error)
http://Rss-Feeds-Submission.com (they want a link back. Dont know how well it will work for booths but blogs as long as you add a link to them on sidebar in your blog. Just copy the html they give you to include their link)
http://MillionRSS.com (my favorite so far. When you submit your rss feed make sure you put Bonanzle in the title part so when others search for bonanzle they can BUMP your entry easily)
Yahoo RSS Guide
http://ReadABlog.com (Irony here – I could get my booth rss feed to go through but not my blog lol)
http://GoldenFeed.com (simple, fast and worked great)
http://BlogDigger.com (I had trouble finding where to add feed so here is the link right to the spot http://blogdigger.com/add.jsp )
http://RSSFeeds.com (this one baffles me I can’t figure it out lol)
http://feed24.com (this is another news one, but if you have something on a blog thats fits news would work well)
http://88tem.com (they want a link back to them in order to submit. I added their html code for their link to my blog and entered my blog url where they ask for the link back url)
http://WeBlogAlot.com (they want a link back that you need to place before submitting your rss feed. This would work great for blogs as you can add the html code in your blog for them then submit your rss feed for your blog)
http://FeedBoy.com (this one was easy but could not find where to submit at first if you scroll down to list at top of the list on left side says add your feed link)
http://Chordata.info (at the HOME tab, you select the category that fits your feed suggestion, click on that category, then there is a line that says “suggest a feed” and you can enter the feed you think would fit in that category.)
http://BlogPulse.com (another one I could not find a place to submit, but if you find it let me know lol)
http://DayPop.com (could not get this one to load but not counting it out might be something with my connection)
http://IceRocket.com (easy to submit)
http://RSS-Network.com (a couple people now have said this one wont load)
http://Jordomedia.com (easy and fast on this one)
http://Feeds2read.net (well could not find a place to submit, tried entering in custom feeds, looked neat not sure if it did anything though lol)
http://Feedcycle.com (don’t get this one at all)
http://FeedShark.BrainBliss.com (I added my blog here, seemed to work. They ask you to add a code in your blog too which I did. I can’t see how to tell if it is really working though, but I guess worth a shot)
http://FeedPlex.com (did not see where to enter feed but it did have option to add url so I did that)
These RSS directories require free username registration.
http://FeedCat.net (worked for blog well but you have to put tracking code in your blog for it to stay. Would probably work for booths on a temporary basis I would think)
http://RSSmad.com (you can actually enter feeds here without joining, blue looking box middle right hand side of screen. Pretty easy one too)
http://Feedage.com (doing this one now, looks great and I know it works cause I searched Bonanzle and found some of your booths I will be rating them once I am all signed up there are 2 pages of us there when you search for bonanzle. Open each one and rate with the stars )
http://NewsIsFree.com
http://RSSfeedz.com
http://Syndic8.com
http://NewzAlert.com
MORE SUGGESTED BY OTHER MEMBERS
http://publisher.yahoo.com/rss_guide/submit.php (this one I was able to enter my blog but not my booth. Will have to try again)
http://www.feedbomb.com/ (you have to click on the categories, then when your in the one that fits scroll all the way to bottom and find submit feed link)
