Recent Activity
The following list is comprised off 50 ways to make money from home. All you need is a computer, patience, and an Internet connection. There's enough websites to go around for everyone to find their flavor in the money making venture known as the world wide web. Hope you enjoy and pick carefully.
50 Ways To Make Money
Most people with the privilege to turn on a computer have dreams to make money from home. Despite the large amount of Internet users, very few know how to legitimate earn some cash from their time spent web surfing. I decided to learn how to generate some extra cash so I began searching for ways to make good money online. Sure, there are ways to make money on the Internet, but what about "good money"? Although there are many ways to make money from home, many people do not know these ways. I present to you 50 ways to get paid from home.
There are different types of ways to make money. What that means is that not all money making opportunities have to be the same. It's in different genres so to speak. If you like what you are doing, and then you are naturally going to put your all into the project. That's why I have compiled of list of ways based on the genre that people could make money doing. Think about it this way. Ever had a job that paid good but you absolutely hated it? That hate may have caused you lots of money because you might have called out a lot and didn't want to show up. The pain is unbearable. Now if you can find something that you love and has the potential to make you a millionaire, then you wouldn't hesitate to jump into action. The following information is divided into groups/genres to give you an option of what you may want to do.
Options are everything in this world. If you have many options then you will be able to make a good choice. Without options, there are no choices. Maybe you know one way to make money, but you want to do something else. You may just find your passion in here.
1. Freelance Writing- Freelance writing has become popular over the past few years. People are able to use their hobbies as ways to obtaining money online. If you love to write as much as myself, then you will love what I have to offer you here. The following list is a list of web sites that allow you to freely write for them and earn money in the process.
· Associatedcontent.com-Associated content allows you to write for them like any other freelance writing site. The thing about this site that is different from others is that many are that the articles presented have price tags on them. Say for instance, you are writing about a movie and the article that you are writing for is worth $20, you will get $20 for the article that you have written. Basically, you are writing responses to article titles. Some articles require you to have a good performance, meaning that your article needs to be good. The better your article, the more you will get paid.
· Demand Studios.com- Demand Studios posts articles that it's registered users write on web sites such as Ehow.com. Typically, they pay $15 for each article you write. The good thing about this site is that they pay you quickly, at the end of each week. The articles that are needed to be written are easy to write, and the pay rate is good. The only thing about this web site is that you are only allowed to accept 10 assignments at a time, which could put your writing on hold as you wait for them to accept your articles.
· About.com- While about.com doesn't hire just anybody to write for their web site, those that do get accepted are able to make great money writing articls, as answers to questions that people may have been asking. First, you have to go through 3 weeks of training with this web site. At the end of the training, they will decide if you are eligible for their site or not. You do not get paid for the training but its well worth it. The average minimum monthly payments earned from this site are about $700 for the first 2 years and $500 after that. Some people make up to $2,000 a month working for about.com.
· Dailyarticle.com- Daily article is a new article web site. It shows many similarities to Constantcontent.com. Unlike Constant content, they take out 20% of your earnings compared to constant content's 35%. One thing about this web site is that you give away the full rights to articles or writing material that you have created. That means once you sell your writing, you can't resell it again because you have no copyright over it anymore.
· Reviewstream.com- On this site, you get paid to basically write reviews. Essentially, you can review anything that you feel like reviewing. They have three rates. The regular rate varies due to performance. It's usually $1.50 per review, but it could vary depending on how well your review is. The minimum payout through paypal is $50.
· Families.com- This site usually pays people $3 per 300 word blog/post for beginners and $4 per post after completion of the 90 day probationary period. That's a really easy way to make money. You can write about anything that you put your heart to. Nothing gets excluded at this web site. This is the easiest way to earn money online because there aren't any set topics available here.
· Methodshop.com- This web site uses blogs for income. You make a blog and you place it to this web site. Not sure how it works but the posts that you place on that blog could be worth in between $20 and $200 per post.
· Suite101.com- Suite101 is a professional writing web site for the experienced writers. Mistakes are not tolerated here, so for those who aren't good at writing shouldn't come to this web site. You are required to offer a sample article as a little taste of what you can do for them.
· Helium.com- This is a site based on knowledge. If you know a lot about a particular subject, then you should come here to try and earn some money. They allow you to request topics to write about, so if you do not want to write about something that this web site may offer, you can request a topic that's more suitable for you. They also allow you to win journalism rewards, making you more recognizable in the writing community. They offer writing competitions that offer cash prizes ranging from $10 to $120. It's a great way for someone to earn a good amount of money.
· Rentaghostwriter.com- As the name of this web site suggests, you are a ghostwriter who is waiting for someone to purchase your writing. Besides the fact that the web site is surrounded by Google Adsense ads, it's a pretty good way to earn money online.
· Wordfirm.com- Word firm is one of those experienced web sites that have been around for years. This web site is looking for experienced writers, copyeditors, and graphic designers. The writing for this web site is very strict and could be troublesome for those who haven't mastered the art of writing.
· Hubpages.com- Hubpages is my personal favorite site to write for. There are different types of writers (they call us hubbers). There are regular writers, and then there are flagship writers. A regular writer doesn't get paid to write, but earn money based on page impressions and affiliate programs. Flagship writers get paid in between $25 and $40 per article (hub) they publish. They also get to use affiliate programs like any other writer on the site. Flagship writers have a limit of 30 flagship hubs per month. There are four different available affiliate programs that work with Hubpages. You could use Amazon, Ebay, Kontera, and Google Adsense. That's 4 different strings of income, not to mention the money earned from Hubpages itself. The article writing is very creative. They allow you to place images, news, rss feeds, and videos into your written content to better explain yourself.
· Triond.com- Triond allows you to write articles and earn money based on page impressions. You do not get a flat payment for every article you publish. The more impressions you get, the more money you will make.
· Xomba.com- xomba is a free community where you can earn money to write. It's a free community. Something like a forum site mixed with a chat site. You make friends, write, and make comments, share ideas, and get paid, that simple.
· Squidoo.com- This site is similar to hubpages. It offers capsules that allow you to post images, videos, and written content on pages and earn money from page impressions.
2. Answering Questions-Believe it or not, people are being paid online just for answering questions. You'd be surprised at how much money people are willing to pay to get the information that they want. There are web sites online that allow you to give out your knowledge for profit. Some of these sites even allow you to bid on how much money your knowledge is worth. This is a great way to earn money online and the following information is based on web sites that allow you to earn money online.
· Expertbee.com- Expert bee is a web site where people ask questions and pay a certain amount of money to the lucky person who has been chosen to answer that question. Many people are beginning to use this web site because it's very useful and a good way to make money online. Bids usually range from $1 to $100. There are some bids that may exceed $100, depending on the severity of the question. The public is desperate for answers and you are desperate for money. A match made in heaven.
· Justanswer.com- Another one of those web sites that allows you to earn money answering questions. Not as sophisticated as Expert Bee, but it could still generate a great deal of income for those hard working, intelligent people who sign up for this web site.
· ChaCha.com- Chacha is a web site that allows you to become an online guide. An online guide is someone who answers questions. It's sort of like a search engine, but with humans. You can answer questions received either from the computer or through the phone. It's a great way to generate some extra income
· Iwantyouranswers.com- This web site is…..shall I say, strange. It's a place for those with high tech questions and those who have those high tech answers. The web site is for those who have experience with technology. This is a very strange site to anyone who doesn't have much technological knowledge.
· Qunu.com- This web site is one of those NOW web sites. Live experts online help people with questions they may have. You can sign up for this web site, but it isn't like other sites. You have to be available at all times to receive a requested question or you will miss out on it. They offer software for your computer that allows you to receive requests when you are asked a question by a customer.
· Guruza.com- Guruza is a new web site that allows people to answer questions and receive payments. The questions are "relatively stupid" a lot of the time. It should be easy for most people to earn money using this site.
3. Affiliate Marketing Programs- Affiliate marketing is one of the most profitable ways to make money online for anyone. There are many companies to suggest. I won't be naming the obvious programs, such as Google Adsense, but this is a great list. There are now more trusted companies making affiliate marketing apart of their business. Companies are matching popular content that people prefer to view. Here is a handsome list of affiliate programs:
· Admob.com- Admob is a company that specializes in mobile content. If you have a mobile web site, you can use this program to advertise on your site. Although Google has this feature as well, some mobile web sites are not compatible with Google, so Admob is a great alternative to making money online. Admob works with majority of the mobile sites. It even works with subdomain sites.
· Clickbank.com- Clickbank is a web site that allows you to become an affiliate marketer and sell your items. You must have your own web site and domain name to be able to sell your items (particularly ebooks), but you could use any type of site to use the affiliate program. People have made beautiful income using this web site. I myself make at least $2,000 at the most every month. That's because I spend most of my time with Google, but it's worth a shot. $2,000 for someone who uses 4 different affiliate programs is great. Imagine if this were my only program I was using. The income would skyrocket. But if you love money, use this site. There are 2 different ways to earn, take advantage of it.
· Gamestop.com- Yes, you seeing this correctly. Gamestop now has an affiliate program. The most trusted gaming company has opened an affiliate program. I also use this site. Although I don't earn as much as my other affiliate programs, I do earn enough. When people see the gamestop logo, they are going to click because the trust this company has built with the public is unparallel.
· Maxbounty.com- Affiliates with Maxbounty earn money from advertising sponsors on a pay for performance basis. This site has both in house managed campaigns for you to advertiste, and merchants wanting direct relationships with you. Beyond one of the industry's best and unique reporting systems.
· Friendfinder.com- An affiliate program with a porn site. Want to know how much money that could generate. Considering that 1/3 of Americans watch pornography, chances of getting paid from this site are damn near 100%.
· Leadermarket.com- Leader market is an affiliate program that allows you to earn a little side money. By little side money, I mean a little side money. This site isn't as good as sites like Yahoo publisher or Google Adsense, but it could bring a little money to your pockets.
· Liquidweb.com- Liquid web has an affiliate program. The ads that are displayed aren't as "creative" as other sites, but they pay a good amount of money for advertising them.
· Adbrite.com- Adbrite is basically the normal alternative to Adsense. Everyone seems to enjoy using this site. The text link ads are very attractive and draw in clicks easily. Although the adbrite revenue is sometimes half that of Adsense, it's a great company for larget business web sites. Adbrite is a great program if you have an adult web site (which Adsense doesn't allow).
· Kontera.com- Kontera is an affiliate program that earns revenue for impressions and clicks. The ads can be popped up if hovered over, easily getting more clicks and generating more revenue. This is one of the powerhouse affiliate programs. Usually powerhouse programs generate powerhouse money, and that's exactly what it does.
· Amazon.com- Amazon has an affiliate program that allows you to sell items from their site. You have the choice to choose what you want to sell to the public. Just by choosing a keyword, items related to that keyword will show up and be available to the public. You also get a little revenue due to page impressions.
· Ebay.com- Ebay is the same way that Amazon is, except that Ebay doesn't just hire anyone. They have turned down a lot of people. I've been turned down 4 times, but it can generate excellent income.
4. Porn Affiliate Programs- Statistics show that pornography is one of the most (if not the single most) popular subject on the internet to date. It's a sure way to draw in traffic and make great sells, earning lots of money from commission per sell. The following list below is sites that offer porn affiliate programs to its members.
· Nicheshop.com- Nicheshop has three different types of porn stores that you are able to advertise. You earn up to 55% of commission for every sell that you get. They specialize in attracting customers of all different sexual attractions. The products are priced low, meaning that you are more likely to have a constant stream of customers coming in. All you do is advertise products, so they can sell, and you earn commission every item you sell.
· JoannaAngelBucks.com- Offering pornographic material to those who enjoy punk/alternative rock girls. Just like any other porn program, you get paid to sell items.
· Markethealth.com- Market health is an affiliate program that sells health products. Using the same money making method as any other get paid to sell affiliate program, you sell products online and get paid a certain amount of commission to use these programs. This program allows you to advertise products such as herbs and medicines, appealing to the health community.
· Buydvdporn.com- Buy DVD porn is a web site that allows you to create your own online pornography store, selling products offered by their company. Once your store is finished, you can sell products from your web site.
· Hunkmoney.com- As the name may suggest, it is a gay porn site. This homosexual site allows affiliates to earn 60% commission per sell you make.
5. Stock market- The stock market is a great place to earn money. Using the internet to buy and sell stock is great also. What if I were to tell you that you can play in the stock market for free? That's right, no risk at all. Matter of fact, what if I told you that you could earn money playing a risk free stock market game? Yeah, sounds too good to be true, but it's possible. It started with me using virtual simulations of the stock market to learn some things before I decide to invest my hard earned money into the market, but I found out that I can earn money just for playing a virtual simulation. It isn't that many legit sites out there, but I will show two sites that I know are worthy.
· Wallstreetsurvivor.com- Wall Street survivor is a fantasy wall street stock market game, offering a virtual simulation of the real stock market with all the real rules and regulations. Learning how to use the stock market is a great way to earn great money in the future. But for now, you can earn a little extra side money by using this virtual simulation to learn how to use the stock market while you earn a few extra dollars in your pocket when you meet the game requirements in this battle of the stocks game.
· Updown.com- Another virtual stock market game with the same rules as the real stock market. The payment plans are similar to wallstreetsurvivor.com. You have to meet certain criteria to get paid and win prizes, just as you would on wallstreetsurvivor.com.
6. Video Advertisement- Videos are a great way to make money online. You make money by placing ads on your videos and when people click those ads, you earn money and get a certain percentage of the earnings.
· YouTube- Youtube lets you utilize Google Adsense for video when you are a regular uploader to the site and have thousands of views of your videos. So upload regularly and you could be generating a large size income from the number one video site in the world.
· Ulinkx.com- Ulinkx is a website that allows you to utilize Google Adsense without meeting the criteria that YouTube requires. You can upload videos from YouTube, metacafe, myspace, and more. When you place ads on your videos, you gain revenue from clicks
· Break.com- A site where people upload videos. If your video shows up on the home page, you could earn up to $2,000.
· Lulu.com- You can publish things on this site and sell it. Videos, audio, ebooks, etc. Revenue sharing program.
· Blip.tv- Blip allows you to post videos on their site and earn money from them. There are many different ways to advertise your videos on their site with a variety of different options.
· Vuze.com- Vuze allows you to make content with ads so that you can generate revenue, or make it free with no ads at all.
7. Other Ways to make money online- These following ways don't really fall into a category, but they could generate good revenue.
· Expotv.com- You get to upload a product review to this site. You can earn up to $10.00 per review
· Blogtalkradio.com- This site is a place where everyone with podcasts and those who are interested to make money with their podcasts.
· Odiogo.com- Odiogo is a free site that also allows you to generate advertising revenue. You may qualify if your listenership level reaches a higher level.
· We7.com- We7 shares money that's made from the sites ads with downloaded music. Revenue sharing program.
Additional Money Making
People can make money creating ebooks and selling them on popular directories. The information that you place into an ebook must be accurate and legal, showing all of your best knowledge of the subject that your book obtains to. Using falsified knowledge could sum up to you being sued by angry customers or other legal actions being pursued. You must allow some area where you are able to write down, in plain english, that the information given may not be able to be duplicated. You must tell them that the information presented is not guaranteed to work, and results may vary depending on special circumstances. Guaranteed success to customers almost certainly means guaranteed failure.
Contracts are necessary to making sure that the content you present to customers does not get duplicated or stolen and used to sell as their own. People do these things on the internet a lot, so it would be wise to make these people sign contracts before you sell them your product. Making sure that you get paid is what its all about. If someone uploads your ebook onto a file directory and it gets sold or downloaded free, you can sue that person for breaching the contract and sue them for every single download that has taken place with that piece of information. Depending on the price that you were selling the piece for, you could generate an outstanding amount of income by making sure that people don't use your information freely.
Although there are no laws that state that you can't make a contract of your own in the United States, it would be wise to get someone more involved in the legal system to review your contract, letting you know if there are any errors in your contract and making sure that the contract that you are presenting is completely legal. An illegal contract could mean that you will lose every single dime that the person you were going to sue costed you.
There are many sites online that offer free contract templates. The better web sites are those that explain the proper way to create your very own contract. Check out ask.com for more information on how to make a legal contract to protect your business.
Great hub again :) , haven't checked all of them (that will take a while!) but thanks.
Thanks, for the info.
There are starting to be a lot of sites out there to make money.

Ecxelent work, thanks to take the time for to made this work and share with us. A work like this is very useful specially on times like the present economical international economy, in wich one too many people has lose their jobs.
This is a great way you showed.Many sites are really useful.
I have been thinking of dabbling with some of my money in the stock market. The wallstreetsurvivor sounds perfect for me to get my feet wet. At this time I figure if you are willing to do long term investing there are some great deals out there.
awesome list, thanks for the resources.
Thanks, this is great! I will try to visit some of these website when I have time.
Thanks, this info is very helpful.
How many of these have you successfully used to make money? Thanks for the list!
I really like this hub, gonna bookmark it. There's a lot to try here. Thanks :)
Just because it's affordable doesn't mean it's for the lazy, or the dim witted, they can't handle it. www.googlefriendlybiz.info
Perfect Hub, Keep it up dude "Thump Up"

Great Hub, will be signing up for some of these things soon
Excellent hub mr williams! You have mentioned really efficient sites, i have experienced a few myself. However I must add that making money through such expeditions take a very long time thus requires a fair amount of patience & hardwork at the same time. Good luck to all :)
It seems like you have some credible information on these sites; however, there is an exception. lulu.com is the new name of poetry.com (which is a poetry site that will print any horrible poem for publication in their anthology books and then encourage you to purchase the books). They have been bad-mouthed by vast other sites as their poetry contests are not more than scams. You are not allowed to sell anything on their site either. You might want to go back and double-check that name, but thanks for the other info. There are some good leads; however, it does take time to make any real money.
Wow, great article! I knew of some of these, but had no idea that there were so many ways. I'll be spending some serioius time visiting a lot of those sites to see what they have in store for me! Thanks again!
$86900 free ebooks!
You have quite a few there that I was not aware of! How many of these have you used yourself?
Some good ideas in here that I will try. Thanks man. I had no idea about most of those sites.
very nice good hub.
Great Hub Page thanks!!!
great stuff.just what I needed.thanks
A great list. But why include porn which is banned by many countries, though they may be great money makers. For affiliate marketing too there are some good sites not included here.
You have the opportunity to make it a list of 100 sites.
This is great advice. Thank you so much for writing this!

There is a really good dropship company where you can have your own website and sell their products online. You can even post the items on ebay and you never have to hold any inventory.
Or go to http://www.the-online-warehouse.com and check out what one of the websites looks like. If you order something you get signed up as a dropshipper for free. Over One Million items being sold at prices far below retail
Interesting blog. I didn't realize there were so many different options for making money on line.
Reallay interesting
Wish you all success
Wow that must have taken some time to write.

Very nice hub, congrats :)
I also like that you chose to include porn as well. It may not be everyones taste to make money with that, but when you are listing online money making opportunities, it would be hypocritical to leave it out.
I have never even heard of most of the links you listed. Thanks for providing them. I can't wait to scope them out!
Freelance writing is always good and lets you work from home and sometime you get to write about what you like so its a win win.
Thanks for sharing. I' d add a few MLM new companies who work online. Mlm is going online...It looks like distributors and companies are now discovering the power of the web to reach the people who are interested in their business
Good research. Thanks for the info.
Great Information. Thank you for sharing!
That's a lot of information to process. I guess you could use it as more of a reference, but maybe you could suggest one or two ways that you consider the best.
Some good information!
Yuck! What a turn off! Advertising with porn? Have you no class?
Excellent Hub, I've been researching similar information in the past few weeks but this article tops every single one...and best of all its free!
Great hub. Found three different methods that I had never thought of and am going to try right now.
Thanks you for such quality information. I did not know that is was so profitable to write content. Thanks alot.
maybe you could suggest one or two ways that you consider the best.
I object to your listing a porn site. Let's try to promote positive things that do as little harm as possible, shall we?
promote positive

This is a great list. Obviously well researched. Thank you for sharing it. To the people who mention the porn sites: How silly. This is a list of ways to make money and that certainly qualifies.
Grace, "have you no class"?? Would it be at all possible for you to get over yourself? Just wondering.

It's a good idea to have a few of these streams of income going at once, as there is definitely an ebb and flow to the market, and things can change quickly.
If one drops off in revenue, another one can pick things up.
We also need to be careful on the other side of it as well, as too many irons in the fire can burn you out and drop the quality off.
Great options and post.
One of the best inmvestment program that someone can increase his income.
This is a really great opportunity.

different ways to make money
I'm a mother of 2 boys and have been looking for work for almost a year now...don't need any "get rich quick schemes" (just need to make enough to pay the bills). I am excited about checking out some of these sites....wish me luck!
Great Article. Another great way to make money.
Very interesting stuff. I had never realized how many options there are out there. However, if you are good enough to write published content I would suggest that rather than working for the man, make your own website and try promoting it yourself.
It's not easy, but I'm well on my way myself.
What a fantastic Hub. Great Job!
Very informative... i will visit these sites and i thank you for writing this. great hub, keep em coming.
Like the Hub a lot, you are giving people something for nothing, this will pay off bigtime eventually for you in the long run, well done.
Fantastic! Squidoo is better tha hub pages for freedom of links.. but hubpages seems to attract more traffic..
Great hub full of useful ideas. Have checked out some of them. Sadly, one of them is not available to UK citizens:(
Your list was great. It was so unique.
But you forgot Google Adsense.
Great hub! A lot of great options for anyone to make money online.
Most def. this is an excellent hub....i think i will try more of these ways soon when i get a chance....
Mr. Williams I commend you on taking the time to create this info-rich hub. It is indeed a great service to us Hubbers - as well as to the Web in general. Thank You.
mr. williams, this is an excellent hub... but most of these sites are paying only US-based writers..can you suggest money-making sites for non-US citizens?
great hub
Wow! I didn't realize they were so many paid to write sites. Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful article. A very useful Hub; can't wait to check them all out.
A nice article, it is very US orientated and not all sites will pay for those unable to work in US. Are there any U.K. sites of this style people use?
What a really nice nice nice collection. I think I'll try "Amazon" this weekend. You list so many that I didn't know about.
nice hub
I am a true believer things happen for a reason and I know I stumbled upon your Hub for a reason! I've been searching, with no luck, for some time now to find legit ways to earn money while working from home. Thanks to you I believe I will be able to continue staying at home with my two boys. We need more people like you in the world!
Your suggestions are great, however I find that many of your recommended/suggested sites just cater for the US and ONLY the US and as there is a world outside the 'good-old' US where many more people live, like me in France, then I wondered if you could be a little more 'worldwide' in your suggestions !

Very good article.

This Hub was very clear and precise when it came to the information being passed on. Thank you for the insightful hub and I look forward to more of your work. I am in the process of trying a bunch of stuff you suggested on this hub, I'll let you know about my progress as time goes.
Wow, you provided such an extensive list. I am sure there are a lot of people that will benefit from it. Even if you don't want to make a full time income online, you can still use some of these sites to make some extra money in your spare time.
This is one of the most detailed list of places to make money online that I have come across. Making money from home and online has become more and more popular and people are always looking for ways to supplement their income. Great job on this hub!
Great resources and very detailed explanation. Nice research.
You have a lot of new places I have never heard of in the past. You do a great job of showing us places outside the box. There are definitely a few that I will be taking a look at and asking my hubbie to take a look at.
Thanks for a great hub

I make money online by blogging and using Hubpages. Of course, Google Adsense is my money maker.
Very informative.
great tool, let all retire
This is one hub that surely suits the 100 hubscore. Thanks for the great sharing.
Great Hub.
Interesting and useful. So many opportunities out there.
I am thinking of relaunching the CV writing business I closed decade ago when I went into IT, and also looking to make money selling photographs.
It's hard for me to believe all these ways are legitimate. It was probably a lot of work coming up with all that much less trying each one to see if they pay. Try resell (resale) rights and good affiliate programs. http://generatemoneyathome.com/
Problem is most ot these places are only for US Citizens. Gets me really narked.
Great job! Articles is very resourceful and informative. You can also check out my blog at http://7dollarsecretsfast.blogspot.com
I never realized how many great sites there were to write and make money from. I'm a sr. level computer technician and a writer, so I can see where I could profit from many of these sites. Thank you. :)
wow you have a long list of information here and long list of comments.. good job!
In my case, I do affiliate marketing, I have a website.. most purchases made thru my website are electronics (laptops), travel ticket/package (travelocity, cheapoair), amazon products (magic jack, cd, books, etc.), drugstore, dick's, babies 'r us, and others.
u will surely earn .NO-WAY ...just visit only way .
Wow, this is great!! But it saddens me because most of these sites are only for US residents.
fantastic hub. great effort. hats off to you mate.

Photographers are always looking for ways on how to make money selling photos online. There has been few successes in this field. One of the most successful microstock photographer is Yuri Arcurs who is dubbed to be the "world's best microstock photographer". You can try to emulate the methods he used to make money selling photos online. You can also sell your images on Getty Images, Corbis Images or Istockphoto.

Door mirror issue (not the usual reverse question ;) )

Right, I finally got of my backside and investigated the problem.
Had a dig around inside the door as already mentioned but nothing was out of place, so after yet more googling I saw a few images of how the cabling ran from the wing mirror through to the door connectors and wasn't too impressed.
So off came the wing mirror and I didn't even have to meter the cabling, I could see water had got into the cable and corroded the copper. So after weighing up the options of spending £200+ on a new wing mirror or a morning being 'creative', I have plenty of beer money to show for my efforts
Essentially I cut the corroded section out and soldered a length of cat5 in place. covered the solder joints in silicon snot and I now have electric memory folding mirrors.
\o/ go me!!!!

There is something so retro-irresistible about platform wedding shoes! And it seems we women are not wishy-washy about how we feel about them either. We love them or we hate them. One thing is for sure, you better have some serious confidence in your swagger to wear them. Although more comfortable than other stilettos, it's still a looong way down from atop these 4 inch heels. What do you think of these six attitude-inducing options?
Love them or hate them?

Stephanie Pratt formally charged with DUI
Seen here conveniently riding a bike yesterday because attention whoring is in her blood, Stephanie Pratt has been formally charged with DUI despite her protests that she was barely drunk. TMZ reports:
Pratt's two breathalyzer tests registered .08 and .09 — the legal limit is .08 — so she was arrested and held on $5,000 bail.
If convicted, Pratt could face up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
As someone who has driven home many times thinking the glove box was the steering wheel, I feel for Stephanie Pratt because she just hit the legal limit. Then again, kids, you roll the dice anytime you get behind the wheel after drinking, and sometimes you lose. (Except in my case because I stick to the cornfields.)

|County's milk output up 7 percent
Per-farm production has doubled since 1996
|Bruce Alsobrook | News-Telegram Editor
Dec. 5, 2006 - In the mid 1990s, the lament was heard 'round the county: The dairy industry was on its last legs, lying on its deathbed, about to go out without a whimper, much less a bang.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the funeral — the patient stabilized.
This year, the dairy industry in Hopkins County has not only shown signs of stability, but even improvement, with production a full 7 percent ahead of last year's pace.
Through October, the county's dairy farmers had marketed almost 489 million pounds of milk, or about 30 million pounds more than through the first 10 months of 2005. Even at the low Class IV milk price of $11.51, that's an additional $345,300 in revenue this year, or about $2,600 per farm.
Hopkins County is no longer the land of 500 dairies — the latest count is at 134 — but the ones that remain are bigger, stronger, and putting out a lot more milk than their counterparts of yesteryear.
It wasn't that many years ago, Hopkins County Agriculture Extension Agent Spradlin recalled, when getting 40 pounds of milk a day from one cow was a pretty good yield.
�Nowadays, if a farmer�s not getting an 80-pound average, they�re thinking something�s wrong,� Spradlin said.
But how could an industry that based its success largely on the ability to grow its own forage in this area survive, even thrive, after such a prolongued drought? Blame it on science, especially free-stall barns.
�It appears the open stall barns and cooling systems are working,� Spradlin said. �The genetics have improved and the nutrition has improved, but keeping the cows cool has really helped production.�
Free-stall barns, which house dairy cattle in pens but in a covered, ventilated area, are hardly a new concept but have gained in popularity in the region in recent years.
The drawback to the concept is obvious — it costs more to build a free-stall barn than to let cattle roam on the open range.
But the benefit is greater comfort for the cow, including less stress from heat and humidity, one of the killers of milk production.
�We�ve probably got more cows in open cooling barns than anyplace else,� Spradlin said.
Increasing cow comfort also goes a long way toward keeping cows healthy. A study in Central Texas by a Texas A&M University Extension Dairy Specialist found culling rates decreased about 12 percentage points after moving into freestall facilities, while body weight of culled cows increased as much as 10 percent.
The gains in production this year aren't the only sign of a more stable dairy industry.
Even though the number of farms has fallen dramatically over the past decade, the production decline hasn't been nearly as severe. In fact, per-farm production has more than doubled.
The 342 dairies operating in Hopkins County in October 1996 pumped out 55 million pounds of milk that month, an average of 161,671 pounds per farm. In October of this year, 134 farms produced 45 million pounds, or an average of 337,521 pounds per farm.
Translation: Fewer farms operating with more cows at increased efficiency.
�It�s a different kind of look these days,� said Spradlin, referring to the time when farms with less than 100 head were the norm, adding that while there are fewer farms today, �the numbers of cows have remained relatively steady.�

Brandeis students screen Islam critic's film
BOSTON — A student group at Brandeis University has hosted a screening of a film produced by a women's rights advocate the university decided not to honor with a degree after concerns were raised about her comments on Islam.
"Honor Diaries," focuses on gender inequality and gender-based violence in Muslim-majority societies through the eyes of Muslim women as well as Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
Senior Daniel Mael helped organize Wednesday's screening. He says the event drew about 100 people including the president of the university, Frederick Lawrence.

Downloads for the current zfcp HBA API library packages
2008-11-25 zfcp HBA API library 2.0 ("Development stream")
This zfcp HBA API library 2.0 is new for the 'Development stream'.
If you download any software from this web site please be aware of the Warranty Disclaimer and Limitation of Liabilities.
lib-zfcp-hbaapi-2.0.tar.gz / MD5 recommended (2008-11-25)
This is lib-zfcp-hbaapi ('zfcp HBA API library') Version 2.0. It is part of an implementation of FC-HBA for the zfcp device driver.
The zfcp device driver is a FCP device driver for Linux on System z. The whole implementation of FC-HBA for the zfcp device driver is called 'zfcp HBA API'. It is a shared library which provides the API defined in FC-HBA.
Version 2.0 is a complete re-implementation.
Version 1.4 of lib-zfcp-hbaapi did not have a shared version of the library; libzfcphbaapi was linked statically against the san_disc tool. With Version 2, the shared version of the library is available again.
The device file for the communication with the zfcp kernel module is not needed any more. The only interfaces utilized now are the sysfs and the generic scsi devices.
- libsysfs 2.1 (or later)
- libsgutils
- doxygen for developer documentation
- Linux Kernel 2.6.27 (or later)
- The zfcp HBA API support was first available on IBM eServer zSeries 990 processors with a microcode level (MCL) that includes the enhancements of October 31, 2003. Please ensure to use the latest available microcode level.
- All newer System z models are supported.
For more information refer to the README in the package and to the 'Device Drivers, Features, and Commands' manual on the Development stream - Documentation page.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The restaurant was pretty good. The chef definitely has some amazing ideas that he or she puts together, but some of the choices in terms of cuts of meat were not the greatest. We spent $23.95 on a ribeye that was mostly grizzle. My dogs ate more of it than I did. Oh and did I mention I could bring my dogs? Best part was having the kids when we got back to the room after going snowboarding and get all fuckered up without needing to drive 2 to 3 hours home. Well, I spent over $200 on my room that looked like it was a part of the Motel 6. The blankets were not especially warm and our a/c unit was out. Cold at night and hot during the day... I called them the day before and told them that I was bringing my pets and they said that was ok with a fee. No problem. So I went to see if I could check in and with a surprising "yes' as an answer, it was quickly diverted to a "no" because they never updated their log saying that I had my animals with me. Not only that, they said they would call when the room we were moved to was ready and never go the phone call. Whatever, I guess it's not so bad as the couple next door to us who were fighting at 2:45 in the morning that the cops needed to come and arrest at 3:30am. Yea I heard the whole thing. Over priced for a stay that was less than 24 hours. I would not do them again. If you are a family with kids - great spot but a nice romantic get away = NO!
The location is perfect! The view of the slopes was great, the shuttle was easy, having the ski shop in the lodge was convenient! we considered staying at a place with "efficiency unit" but with spacious room, fridge and micro in room, and shopping in town, we had everything we needed (and for a lot less than an efficiency). The pub is great (food, craft beer, great staff) and is all you could ask you! The place shows some signs of wear and tear but if you are fine with "not brand new", it is great! The staff is constantly cleaning and working on keeping the place nice. There is a lot of "unused space" (undergoing renovation?) in the older section of the lodge. It would be nice to have a fitness room (free weights, cardio machines) in some of this un-used space.
The design of the hotel made it a little weird to find the rooms. But overall, the location is prime.
The Hotel was real clean and the game room was a hit for my daughter. We had a Great time. The road was a little loud.
Staff was awesome. Liked it so much stayed an extra night. Parking sucked. Walls are a little thin.
Fresh cookies!
The location was great The parking is TIGHT so if you have a suv it may be a bit tough. The place is old. All stairs and not very clean. There was gum in the shower. No AC. Which in the winter is no big deal. But for the summer it can get stuffy in the room with just one open window and no cross Breeze
Quite,bed were comfortable Took over an hour to get mac and cheese for 22 dollars and came out cold. Bar workers rude and couldnt keep up.took 20 mins to order 2 drinks
Location. Prices for food in the restaurant was very high for very low quality food. Bartender was lazy and rude. The hotel has gone through a renovation, but they did not put any money into the beds. They appeared to be very cheap were very uncomfortable.
Pools nice, locations nice....that's about it Old TVs, thin walls that can't even block out tv noise, trash left in room, and hairs found in bed...Oh did I mention the 100 dollar credit card fee that was not mentioned we would have to pay in full for potential "damages"? I will never stay here again!
Great location to winter sport activities. All staff were very nice and helpful. Would definitely recommend.
Very comfortable beds. Both hot tubs were not working. Ice machine on our floor not working.
Everything about The Vintage Hotel was great. Friendly, helpful staff, excellent pool area, the beds were confortable, it was clean, great sized room and kitchenette, and we lived the gondola. They are in the process of updating some very out of date aspects of the hotel. We had new furniture and appliances.
the vintage is a good value for the money. the staff is excellent and always helpful. it also has good proximity to the slopes via the cabriolet. the only downside is having to run the gauntlet of shops, especially after a day of skiing, carrying ski gear. lack of electrical outlets and very little light. the wifi was inadequate in our room on the 3rd floor.
easy access from interstate easy access to ski resort nice, large room very comfortable bed great staff!!
The room was well equiped and furnished nicely, incluidng the fireplace! The bathroom was a bit small with slightly challenging space for more than 1 person to use it at a time. The draw space was minimal and located in the TV stand. The location of the room was directly across from the vending/ice machines and at the hallway intersection, but was only occasionally noisy. The cabriolette service hours should be longer through dinner hours since the shuttle service is not as reliable (on time) and walking back to the hotel in the colder weather at night is not fun.
ski locker was nice the room was very outdated and the bathroom was very small. it was difficult to get to the village after the cabriolet closed. The shuttle bus was confusing and unreliable
The hotel was clean and the staff were super nice! That I couldn't stay longer!
The best hot tub, but the swimming pool was closed. We booked a room at the Vintage Hotel on Kayak recently and received a big shock when we returned home. The hotel charged us for the room on top of what we paid at getaroom.com. The person at the check-in desk seemed clueless after we informed him that the room was already paid for. After calling the manager he informed us this also happened to another party. I'm still waiting for a refund and after calling the customer service at getaroom.com they said I will have to wait nine days for the refund. We will never use this travel site again and the Vintage hotel needs to work on improving their customer service. We also found out that we could have booked the room through Winter Park and saved $20.00 over what Kayak charged.
Staff was awesome, free bike storage was a very nice plus! Hotel was good for a group of guys, probably needs a good upgrade in the next year or so if I was going to take my wife there on a trip. Overall the value of the Vintage was good for the summer rate we paid, probably would look elsewhere if going there in winter.
Loved this hotel! Wonderful friendly helpfulstaff! Nice rooms with easy access to the mountain, shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again!
Room was really great. Like the little kitchen area.
Out Door Hot Tub and Pool Sort of out dated. Needs some remodeling.

location and friendly staff no
The location is very handy and the staff is kind and professional.
The staff were very nice. No
We liked the proximity to Winter Park. The hotel is walking distance to eateries, shopping center,and shuttle pick up/drop off area. The staff, especially , was extremely helpful. The hospitality we received from the hotel staff was exceptional. The parking area is limited and a bit crowded.
Within walking distance to everything we did in Winter Park.
Staff Helpfulness
Very close to Blues venue
The pool and hot tub were wonderful! Loved the area. The building was very hot, we had to ask for a second fan to be comfortable. Nobody likes the cooking pans that always burn on the bottom! The code pads are very cumbersome.
Location. I was excited that the hot tub penned at 8am, but then they were putting in chemicals and it was closed until after 9...couldn't use it before we checked out...seems they could do that service before it opened.

large clean room not enough cable channels (no espn, fox, cartoon channel)
Basic motel. Nice. As expected or slightly better. We had a second floor room. If it's a factor for you, the stairs are challenging.
Easy access on main street. Shuttle Bus to the ski area is 1/2 block away. Location is very close to many resteraunts. Friendly manager. Not a chain. Locally run.

Close to the slopes and right in town. Couldn't get ahold of anyone for an hour after their normal business hours to check in.
The staff is very upbeat and cheerful. We arrived at 4 pm (which is check in time) but didn't get to go to our room until 4:40. We had a wedding to go to so we had to rush to get ready. When we came back to the hotel, there was no parking left and we had to park in a dark parking area behind the motel. The beds were rock hard and made us all sore the next morning.
Good location very clean and super nice staff A little dated
Wonderful, clean room with thoughtful and accommodating staff. Continental breakfast was filling and free hot chocolate and apple cider in abundance all day long. Highly recommend.
Close to the ski area. The room was quiet. Didn't need a car, as the motel was close to restaurants and free shuttle stop. For an old motel: the $/night was very high. Plumbing fixtures in bathroom sink needed replacement. Mouse in the room.
When I checked in the attendant wrote down my credit card number and information on the check in receipt. I asked for that receipt to be torn up upon checking out and was told to forget about it. This despite the fact that these paper receipts are kept in slots behind the desk unsecured. This is credit card fraud waiting to happen and the owner was quite rude when I asked for my credit card receipt to be torn up. Credit card numbers should always be kept secured and shredded upon check out.
Close to the ski areas. Walls between rooms are pretty thin. We could hear our neighbors next door. Seemed at times we were all in the same room.
Used my credit card to charge the stay and it was later see for fraudulent charges.
Location was great Most prison cells are more comfortable
I found this place online and it was PERFECT. I come to Winter Park to ski and take in the town with my Dog, not hang out in the room. It has all you need to sleep and clean up. It is all clean and comfortable and a great price for a tourist town. The lockers for ski's and boots are placed on the way in/out, very convenient! If you are going to hang out in the room all weekend it is probably not the place for you, but if you want a great place to base from within walking distance to all Winter Park has to offer and the ski bus pick up is literally in front of the place, then you want to stay here. This place is perfect and affordable. This will be my "go to" place from now on!! The access to the loft beds is a steep ladder that was hard to climb up. Especially with a bag. A spiral staircase would be much safer and still small footprint.
Great place to lay your head for the evening! Make sure you read the description because it is exactly as said and you can't beat the price. There is a shuttle that picks you up from the parking lot also to get you directly to the lifts. Super convenient!
For a location so close to Winter Park, the value of the Viking Lodge can't be beat. It isn't the most luxurious place, but it is clean and the staff is very friendly. If you are looking for a 5-star hotel, you should go elsewhere. But if you are looking for a fun, inexpensive trip to Winter Park, this is your place! And don't forget the free shuttles that pick you up at the Viking Lodge and take you straight to Winter Park!
I was in Winter Park to do some mountain biking. I needed just a room to sleep so I didn't have to drive up in the morning. It's right across the parking lot from great shopping and within walking distance of so many great restaurants and bars. It was quiet and rustically charming. There is no staff. To check in you have to go to the t-shirt shop downstairs. That in itself isn't the problem, the problem is it feels like a total lack of security. Plus, it allows dogs, you always have to question the cleanliness of a place that allows dogs.

After two years of dealing with the Euro crisis, it appears that European policymakers are facing yet another year of economic woes. Only recently, the United Nations "World Economic Situation and Prospects 2012" report estimated growth in the EU to stay around 0.7%. Will this be enough to fend off increasing skepticism of the financial markets that Merkel, Sarkozy and Co. can still avert a Greek default and a collapse of the Euro zone?
European controversy on higher education
Meanwhile, a number of governments are moving towards consolidating their budgets. Especially higher education funds are a popular target. Only recently, Halbe Zijlstra, Dutch Junior Minister for Education, stated that the current inflow of international students creates an unjustified burden on Dutch taxpayers.
According to Zijlstra, every year the Netherlands loses around €90 million due to uncontrolled internationalization. While the Dutch government is actively promoting internationalization, they have run into a situation where most of these international students come from Germany. The Junior Minister therefore calls upon the German government to help financing them by creating a cross-board funding mechanism.
More extreme measures are currently envisioned by the Hungarian government which faces an especially dire budget situation. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán wants to cut 50% of the publicly funded student places. Those students that do get state scholarships would furthermore be obliged to stay 10 years in Hungary after they graduate. Primary target of the higher education cuts are the humanities and social sciences which Orbán believes not to contribute much to the economy.
ScienceGuide talked with Allan Päll, Chairman of the European Students' Union (ESU), about the recent developments in European higher education. According to Päll, the European countries need to create a European funding mechanism to make the mobility of international students more sustainable. He believes that this should primarily come in the form of a multilateral agreement of transfers or grants.
Only recently, Jan Anthonie Bruijn, chairman of the Dutch Advisory Council for Science and Technology, suggested a similar measure. Given the rise of international student mobility, higher education funding should also be dealt with on a European level.
Junior Minister Halbe Zijlstra wants the German government to help funding the costs German students create for Dutch universities. Do you believe this is the right approach?
I believe that over the last couple of years sentiment has changed in the European Union. Governments and people have become more Eurosceptic. Policymakers are convinced that they have to fight for their national interests by protecting their taxpayers. From this perspective, Zijlstra's initiative looks to me like a rather populist move.
At the same time, it is true that more and more students want to get a full degree abroad. I think this is a great development because it adds value to the individual, the host country and Europe as a whole. Still, this has also created imbalances between countries since funding systems are still widely different and most host countries subsidize higher education of international EU students. That is why we have to talk about ways to make international mobility sustainable while avoiding populism. The Dutch/German issue is only one example of this.
Is this a Dutch/German phenomenon or are there other countries facing a similar situation?
Yes, indeed there are others. Austria and Switzerland have voiced concerns similar to those of the Dutch regarding German students. Meanwhile, Belgium is very popular with Dutch students and Scottish universities fear being flooded with international students now that English institutes tripled their fees.
So what can be done about it?
Well, first of all I believe that if the Dutch government is so worried about losing money on international students, they should think about ways of integrating them into their society and economy. Talented international students are valuable assets and able to contribute a lot. With its English taught programs Dutch universities attract a lot of talented students, this is a good thing!
Nevertheless, I believe that these imbalances should also be tackled on a European level. For the moment, bilateral funding treaties between countries could work out. Finland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden have already reached an agreement.
But my forecast is that these international student flows will only grow bigger. With Erasmus, there is a funding mechanism for exchange students. Why don't we create a European scheme or treaty that finances full degree students studying abroad as well? We need this to make the funding of international student mobility more sustainable! And over here, I think intergovernmental efforts are needed rather than giving the initiative to the European Commission alone.
Bringing this discussion on a European level is essential. Right now, it is just a political issue between the Netherlands and Germany. But the real problem of internationalization causing populist sentiment is much more fundamental and affects the European Union as a whole. In a way, I believe that it is good that Zijlstra started this discussion.
The Hungarian government also believes that students can contribute to their economy. That is why Prime Minister Orbán wants to force university graduates that received public scholarships to stay in the country for at least 10 years.
I am happy Orbán acknowledges the value of students, but this is the completely wrong step. It infringes the right of free movement. The solution cannot be to force students to stay in the country and pay taxes. Instead, Hungary should think about ways of making its own country more attractive.
Of course there are disciplines that are expensive to teach. It costs a lot of money to train students to become doctors. Still you cannot restrict them in this way. I believe that this new policy of Orbán is simply nationalistic and anti-European.
Hungary also wants to cut funding specifically for subjects from the humanities and social sciences. How do you think will this impact the country, its economy and society?
I think this policy is foolish. When we talk about the value of education, we cannot only talk about the value for the labor market. Humanities, arts and social sciences are beneficial for the whole society and anyone could benefit from them. They sharpen the individual's point of view, empowering him to be critical about certain developments.
I believe that a university is a place where you can build yourself freely as a person. A place where you develop yourself and dedicate time to the pursuit of truth. This should be valued by the society as how else will we avert another financial crisis if we don't make people think critically enough.
Instead, Orbán wants to exclusively foster STEM (Sciences, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects…
…which shows again that his policies are short-sighted. We need a more general knowledge base which is not provided for by STEM subjects alone. The shift from manufacturing to the service sector will continue in the future. This also means that the demand for manufacturing and technician skills is limited and they need to be complemented by modern skills oriented on human contacts and communication. That is why it is a wrong statement to say "the government funds only areas where there is a certain economic output".
Given these sweeping changes to higher education, do you believe that Hungarian students will opt for studying abroad instead?
That could happen, yes. Still, the currently rising sentiment of anti-Europeanism might work against that. Also, we have to keep in mind that the general knowledge level of a secondary language is problematic among Hungarian students. Instead of locking his citizens up in his own country, Orbán should tackle these fundamental issues.

It is common knowledge that filing accident at work claims is a tedious and long process. However, it can become a stress-free one if you engage the services of the appropriate injury claims solicitor to handle your case. You can make an injury claim, (both mental and physical) if it was as a result of your employer's negligence, workmate or some other individual at your place of work, or due to absence of workplace safety measures.
When you sustain an injury at your place of work, on holiday, on public transport or wherever it happens, you should always deal with it as though you are going to make a injury claim for damages payout. If you decide to take no action after making the appropriate reports as well as medical treatments, then no harm is done. However, if you change your mind later on and decide to look for financial compensation, it will be practically impossible to get any compensation if your accident is not properly documented.
So when any kind of accident or personal injury occurs at work for example, you should immediately inform your supervisor about it, and seek medical attention. Your HR manager might ask you to provide a comprehensive account of the event so that it can be recorded in the accident book. Make sure you go through the log entry before you sign it. After that, if there is a union representative in your workplace, inform him or her about the accident. Where possible, all relevant parties should also be informed about the accident on the day it happened. This will help the keep the details fresh.
If you have to take some days off from your work as a result of the injury, let your employer know about it. UK law stipulates that firms file a report with the health and safety executive if three or more days are taken off because of an accident within the workplace. Even though this is your employer's legal duty, you should be aware that filing accident at work claims is much more difficult, if there is no public record of the accident.
The accident at work claim helps to provide compensation for physical suffering and pain, lost salary as well as any later constraints on employment because of the injuries. Work injury compensation amounts are dependent upon the type of claim as well as the type of injury sustained at the place of work. Your lawyer will handle your case on a no win no fee basis. What this means is that if you are not successful, there will be no need for you to pay anything whatsoever.
Accident claims can be filed for a broad variety of workplace accidents where the worker's injuries could have been prevented if the employers had established reasonable preventive measures. If you have sustained a workplace injury, as a result of your employer's negligence, you should get in touch with an employment law attorney for a competent assistance in filing your claim. Recent statistics show that falls, trips and slips make up about forty percent of injury claims within the United Kingdom, which includes England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
If you visit this accident claims website you will find there is a great deal more helpful advice on making accident and injury claims.

Dan Miller, Macworld.com - If you have a Macbook Air (or any other laptop, for that matter) with a solid-state drive, you can increase its battery life by forcing it to hibernate instead of sleep.
[ How to Upgrade Your Laptop's Hard Drive to an SSD ]
Generally, Macs only hibernate (which means they store the existing system state to disk and then power off) when the battery is almost completely drained. At all other times, they sleep--meaning the system state is stored in RAM, and the machine goes into a low-power mode. Waking from sleep takes less time than restarting and restoring from hibernation.
But having the machine go fully off instead of just to sleep really can improve battery life. And because solid state drives start up exceptionally fast, restoring from hibernation is quick (five or so seconds, in my experience) compared to restoring from a standard drive.
There are several utilities available (such as Jinx's Smart Sleep, which installs as a preference pane and is Snow Leopard compatible) that will cause your Mac to hibernate instead of merely sleeping. Remember that when you want your Mac to emerge from hibernation, you must press the power button, rather than tapping any key on the keyboard.

Bio-composite coatings consisting of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and tyrosinase (Ty) were successfully electrodeposited on conventional size gold (Au) disk electrodes and microelectrode arrays using sinusoidal voltages. Electrochemical polymerization of the corresponding monomer was carried out in the presence of various Ty amounts in aqueous buffered solutions. The bio-composite coatings prepared using sinusoidal voltages and potentiostatic electrodeposition methods were compared in terms of morphology, electrochemical properties, and biocatalytic activity towards various analytes. The amperometric biosensors were tested in dopamine (DA) and catechol (CT) electroanalysis in aqueous buffered solutions. The analytical performance of the developed biosensors was investigated in terms of linear response range, detection limit, sensitivity, and repeatability. A semi-quantitative multi-analyte procedure for simultaneous determination of DA and CT was developed. The amperometric biosensor prepared using sinusoidal voltages showed much better analytical performance. The Au disk biosensor obtained by 50 mV alternating voltage amplitude displayed a linear response for DA concentrations ranging from 10 to 300 μM, with a detection limit of 4.18 μM.
New analytical devices for monitoring the quality of the environment and (bio)industrial processes are currently at the forefront of research. Electrochemical sensors and biosensors have rapidly emerged in recent decades as sensitive, reliable, and robust analytical devices [
The PEDOT-Ty bio-composite materials were characterized by infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), to investigate their chemical structure and morphology. The optimized biosensor was then used in electroanalysis of dopamine (DA) and catechol (CT) in aqueous buffered solutions. A multi-analyte detection protocol, based on a bipotentiostatic technique, and the intrinsic properties of the Au microelectrode array, was also developed. The linear response range, sensitivity, repeatability, and stability were finally investigated.
All chemicals,
Electrochemical experiments were carried out at room temperature with an Autolab potentiostat/galvanostat 302N (Ecochemie, Utrecht, The Netherlands) coupled to a PC running the GPES software, using a single-compartment three electrode cell. The working electrode was a 2 mm diameter gold disk. Two microelectrode arrays were alternatively used as the working electrodes, comprising 816 microelectrodes with a 10 μm radius. Arranged in a 24 × 34 square lattice, they exhibit a center-to-center separation of 100 μm along the x- and y-axes. These microelectrode arrays were fabricated on silicon chips using standard microfabrication techniques, as described in previous works [
PEDOT-Ty bio-composite coatings were electrodeposited onto the Au disk electrodes or the two separate microelectrode arrays present on a single chip, from a solution containing 0.05 M EDOT, various amounts of Ty ranging from 0.1 to 3 mg/mL, and a 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.5) using the following procedures:
sinusoidal voltages at a frequency within the 100 kHz–0.1 Hz range, with an excitation amplitude (ΔEac) of 50 and 100 mV, were applied at a fixed dc potential value of +0.95 V to one of the chip arrays. Deposition time was 270 s. The resulting modified electrode was referred to as Au/PEDOT-Ty-SV; reference is given for Au disk electrode ( the PEDOT-Ty coating was deposited onto the second array of the same chip using the potentiostatic method,
sinusoidal voltages at a frequency within the 100 kHz–0.1 Hz range, with an excitation amplitude (ΔEac) of 50 and 100 mV, were applied at a fixed dc potential value of +0.95 V to one of the chip arrays. Deposition time was 270 s. The resulting modified electrode was referred to as Au/PEDOT-Ty-SV; reference is given for Au disk electrode (
the PEDOT-Ty coating was deposited onto the second array of the same chip using the potentiostatic method,
The surface characterization of the coatings was performed on gold layers deposited on silicon. 100 nm-thick gold layers were deposited by sputtering, onto a silicon wafer (100-oriented standard 4" silicon wafers from Siltronix (Archamps, France), B-doped, resistivity: 0.015 ± 0.005 Ω·cm, thickness: 250 ± 10 μm). PEDOT and PEDOT-Ty samples were investigated by InfraRed Reflection Absorption Spectroscopy (IRRAS) in reflection geometry at a grazing-incidence angle of 65°. The infrared spectrometer used was a Vertex 70 FT-IR spectrometer (Ettlingen, Germany) equipped with a DTGS detector. For each sample, 128 infrared scans were performed at a resolution of 4 cm−1.
Imaging of the surface topographies took place with a commercial atomic force microscope (AFM PicoSPM from Molecular Imaging, Ann Arbor, MI, USA), in contact mode with aluminum coated silicon tip. The Si rectangular AFM cantilever was 450 μm–long, with a stiffness of 0.27 N·m−1. Experiments were conducted in air and at room temperature. The morphological features of all coatings were studied using a high resolution SEM (Quanta 450 W, FEI, Eindhoven, The Netherlands) with an electron beam energy of 10 keV.
Analytical detection measurements were taken in an air saturated aqueous buffer solution at T = 294 ± 1 K. The chronoamperometric responses were recorded in continuous mode during addition of the analyte, while stirring. The multi-analyte detection protocol consists in simultaneously polarizing both microelectrode arrays from one chip using the bipot module in
Optimization of the procedure for electrodeposition of the bio-composite coating was based on preliminary results concerning electrodeposition of pure PEDOT on both Au disk electrode and microelectrode arrays [
The morphology of the PEDOT matrix obtained by modulation of the applied potential is compared with that of the polymer coating grown under potentiostatic conditions (
The morphology of the PEDOT-Ty bio-composite coatings prepared by both methods was also investigated using AFM.
We must be aware of the fact that the microscopic and morphologic images are indicative, though not definitive in concluding about the higher number of Ty molecules in contact with the solution when an alternating voltage is superimposed to the continuous one. They are, however, in agreement with the indirect datum given by the higher effectiveness in biosensing of the composite obtained under sinusoidal polarization. Indeed, the homogeneous PEDOT-Ty coating prepared by sinusoidal voltages proved to exhibit superior analytical performance with respect to the same coating obtained via the potentiostatic procedure, as it will be shown below.
The chemical nature of the bio-composite coatings was investigated using the IRRAS technique. The IRRAS spectra of both PEDOT and PEDOT-Ty coatings are depicted in
The spectrum of PEDOT shows the characteristic peak vibrations at 1,490 cm−1 and 1,350 cm−1, which are attributed to stretching modes of C=C and C−C in the thiophene ring [
Influence of pH on the amperometric biosensor response was investigated within the pH range 6.0–8.0, with a 0.5 pH unit interval, in an air saturated aqueous buffer solution containing a fixed analyte concentration (see
This study was conducted for all types of biosensors prepared either by superimposed sinusoidal voltage or by potentiostatic method, on both Au disk electrode and microelectrode arrays. The optimum pH value was found to be 7.5, which is close to the value of physiological samples. At such a pH the amperometric biosensor displays the most useful responses, linearly dependent in height on the analyte concentration over wide linear range.
The concentration of Ty in the deposition solution is a key operational parameter in the design of the amperometric biosensor. Therefore, the dependence of the biosensor response on Ty concentration was investigated within the range 0.1–3 mg/mL. This range was chosen for all types of biosensors prepared by sinusoidal voltage and potentiostatic procedure, on both Au disk electrode and microelectrode arrays. Biosensor responses were recorded in an air saturated aqueous buffer solution of pH 7.5 at various dopamine concentrations. Use of air saturated aqueous solution was dictated by the intrinsic functioning of Ty in amperometric biosensors and also fits the conditions in which the sensing system is actually employed. No net response was observed for enzyme concentration up to 0.4 mg/mL, while for Ty concentration up to 2 mg/mL the response increased significantly in height (see
Since the proposed biosensors are based on amperometric detection, the working potential is, of course, another key parameter in optimizing the analytical performance. In this context, the influence of the working potential on the sensitivity of the amperometric biosensor was investigated at various values (100 mV interval) between −0.30 and +0.10 V
In this paper, a multianalyte detection protocol is developed. This protocol is based on the use of the
Bipotentiostatic measurements at microelectrode arrays allowed the simultaneous monitoring of DA and CT. One electrode of the chip was modified by a PEDOT-Ty bio-composite coating, while a pure PEDOT coating was electrodeposited on the second electrode of the chip. Deposition of these two coatings, with and without enzyme, aimed at highlighting the sensing abilities of each one of the two systems towards the DA and CT present simultaneously in the solution. Therefore, composition of the coatings was driven to provide information about selectivity of the overall response of the chip towards two analytes.
The second electrode modified with PEDOT only was polarized at a potential value of +0.30 V
In this work, amperometric biosensors based on gold disk electrode and microelectrode arrays modified with PEDOT-Ty coatings and pure PEDOT were prepared and used in DA and CT electroanalysis. Biosensors were prepared via a classical method, chosen as a reference one, and via an original preparation procedure, respectively. The amperometric biosensors prepared using sinusoidal voltages exhibited enhanced analytical performance towards DA detection. The gold disk electrode based biosensor obtained by 50 mV amplitude displayed a linear response for DA concentrations ranging from 10 to 300 μM, with a detection limit of 4.18 μM. The microelectrode arrays based biosensor was used for simultaneous monitoring of DA and CT in
