Chicago Diva On A Dime

     As some of you know I'm a Twitter addict. Yes, I'll admit it! I feel free to say what I want there...In 140 characters or less. Lol! That's an amazing feat for me. As you may know I tend to talk a lot. Or as I call it Beba babble (Beba is my nickname fyi)      So this week I decided to try my hand at Twitter parties. Sounds like a great idea. I interact and answer questions for major companies and earn prizes. I was so excited. My goal was 2 parties. I liles them so much I did 5. I am out of work and have the time.I won't mention the companies I did them for. But they were of a varied subject matter. I did technology, skin care, family, and household products.  However, I didn't win a prize. Maybe I went into it thinking I'm for sure to win a prize. Which was a bad idea! I'm there for the interaction, fun, helpful tips and meeting new Tweeps. Yes I call my twitter friends Tweeps.lol... I'm gonna continue to try these Twitter parties and...

     First if I didn't say it before get yourself a Klout account. You link all of your social media accounts to it. Personally my Klout score is pretty good. I do tweet a lot. I have about 1000 followers and do try and interact with people and companies...      Klout also issues "perks" to people depending on their score. I think over 55 and your in perkable territory. Is perkable a word? I'm not sure but it works for me. Anyway, this is where you wanna be gaining perks. So far I've gained 2 bottles of Veev Vita Frute, cocktails. Samples of Blowfish for hangovers. Hmmm maybe they were afraid id over do it on the free cocktails? Also I'm waiting on a makeup brush set from Real Techniques to host a mini girls night in and try. So when I say try klout I mean it. And no I don't work for them. I'm just excited about the free stuff and wanna share the wealth.      Lastly when you see those send a tweet and you'll win a prize if yo...

Ok so we all want free stuff! I mean if you don't, that's cool...More free for me. Yay!  *happy dance* I am currently out of work and can't do much as far as sitting at a computer. So in my spare time, I've been searching for things to do via my smartphone. I have a Samsung s3 at the moment. Anywho I've found a ton of sites that I've signed up for samples and to be a product tester...As soon as I get a few in the mail I will post a new blog with links to sites that have worked for me...So far the best thing I've done, is get an account with Klout. There you link all your social media accounts to and can earn perks. Just this week I've earned 2 bottles of cocktail from Veev called Vita Frute. Hopefully my other ventures will be just as fruitful. 

     For those who don't know me and just stumbled across my blog. I am an average woman who got into social media to help a friend promote their business...Now three years later I no longer promote much but I still Tweet my butt off. Why is Twitter so addicting to me? Well I can babble about whatever I choose. I feel if I did that on Facebook my family and close friends would think I'm nuts. Lol!..But they know I never shut up.      So now about the cool things that come to those who tweet. However, I dont just Tweet. I also have a Foursquare, Tumbler, Instagram and this blogger account. YES I don't shut up. Because of having all these accounts I have a high Klout number. For those who dont know Klout measures your influence online. Its a website you link all your social media accounts to and and they come up with a figure..Personally I think I'm a normal person and wouldn't have much influence. But I was wrong or at least Klout says I do? :) Be...
