With new STEP-BY-STEP instructions, this is a very simple way to receive $45 for each member of your family! 

ShareBuilder is an online investment tool that’s built for individuals across all income levels.  You simply deposit money into your ShareBuilder account, purchase a stock, and then track your success.  They also regularly hold promotions that deposit extra money into new accounts.  (Never open an account without a promotion!)  The ShareBuilder promotion with the highest yield is currently a $50 Web Channel Offer…ShareBuilder will deposit $50 into each new account opened (and you can even open an account for your kids!).  The minimum investment is $5, and within 4-6 weeks, you’ll receive a $50 deposit into your ShareBuilder account.  At that point, you have the option of purchasing more stock, or simply withdrawing the money.

Below are the step-by-step instructions for opening a ShareBuilder account, and receiving $45 for each family member.  (It looks scary, but only because I over-simplified .)

1.)   Click HERE to visit ShareBuilder’s site and click the Open an Account tab
2.)   Select Individual Account
3.)   Select the box next to “I’m responding to a promotion“, enter the SHARE50 Promotion Code, and click Next
4.)   From the Your Information page, select No (indicating you do not have another ShareBuilder account)
5.)   Complete all required fields for Contact Information, then click Next
6.)   Complete all required fields for Investor Identification, then click Next
7.)   Complete all required fields for Employment, then click Next
8.)   Select the Agreement box directly above “Review Your Account Information”
9.)   Click Create Account
10.)  From the Welcome Page, you should see your Account Number, Account Type, Promotion, and message reading, “Thank you, your promotion code has been accepted. You will receive a $50 account bonus approximately 4 weeks after your first transaction.”
11.)  Click Continue
12.)  Select Basic Program, then click Next
13.)  Select Build my account over time with an Automatic Investment Plan, then click Next
14.)  Select Create your own Automatic Investment Plan, then click Next
15.)  Click HERE to open a separate window to search for stocks (do not close the window from Step 14)
16.)  Locate a stock whose shares are priced under $1, note the stock symbol, and close the window
17.)  In the original ShareBuilder account window, enter the stock symbol from Step 16 into the Symbol field
18.)  Enter 5 ($5.00) in the Amount window, then click Add to Plan
19.)  The window will refresh with the selected stock displayed in Your Automatic Investments - click Next
20.)  Set your investment schedule frequency to One-Time, select an investment day, then click Next
21.)  Select Automatically fund via electronic funds transfer (Free), enter your checking/savings account information, then click Next
22.)  Authorize the transfer by entering the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number - click Next
23.)  Review the information entered, then select Create Plan
24.)  Check your Email Inbox for 2 emails:
      a.) Welcome to ShareBuilder
      b.) Your Promotion Code has been Accepted 
25.)  Receive $50 (added to your ShareBuilder account) within 4-6 weeks
26.)  Either transfer the $50 to your bank account and let the $1 stocks remain…or continue buying and selling stocks to earn even more!
27.)  Repeat steps 1-26 for each member of your family!

Win tickets to the premiere opening events in Cleveland, Ohio and Washington, DC!
 

I am the mother of three kiddos, two boys who are 13 and 4, and a little girl who is 19 months. My family has lived in the Cleveland area for going on 3 years.  I was a paralegal before I became a SAHM.  I love throwing parties, organizing events and my morning coffee. Laundry is my least favorite chore!  My hope is to stay home with the kids until the youngest is in kindergarten and I’m excited to see what life brings me in the next 3-5 years.   

 
I am the mother of a 20-month old girl. We have been living in the DC area for 6 years now. We are always working on our 60-year old house and feel the “project” may never be finished, but that is half the fun of a vintage home. I love Mocha Frappucinos from Starbucks and I’m an insane craft nerd.  Laundry is my least favorite chore! I work outside of the home, in addition to this new venture and can’t wait until our debut Rock-n-Tot events!

This month’s sessions each last approximately two hours, and participants will be paid in cash at the conclusion of the session.

I read this “recipe” on another site last week, and CANNOT find the site again…but someone out there deserves credit for this amazingly simple, inexpensive, and powerful cleaner!  Thinking a simple search should uncover the mystery, I googled the terms and ended up with thousands of articles and websites…which means I apparently live under a rock!

As part of the industry-wide “Rediscover Rotisserie” initiative, Tyson has published an online PDF coupon to market their rotisserie pork loin.  Seasoned in the Tyson plants, and cooked fresh in most grocery store delis, the suggested retail price for Tyson’s Rotisserie is set at $7.99, though most major food chains have it regularly priced between $5.99 and $6.99.

Through December 31, 2008, the online PDF coupon can be redeemed at any store that accepts internet coupons to take $3 off of the purchase price.  A great deal now, but this is definitely a coupon to keep on hand throughout the year.
