New tougher rules. Google also announced that during exams, a live proctor will monitor the activity of participants via a webcam, as well as screen-sharing software. If the proctor notices any unauthorized behaviour, they will pause the exam and send you a message. You will also be recorded during the exam for review purposes. These are the exam guidelines:

  • You are not allowed to have open books.
  • You are not allowed to have notes.
  • You are not allowed to use scratch paper.
  • You are not allowed to take restroom breaks.
  • You are not allowed to use a handheld calculator, you will have a calculator built into your test screen.
  • You are not allowed to use headphones.
  • You are not allowed to wear hats.
  • You can take your exam in a public area, without any people in the background.
  • Moderate background noise is allowed.

Why we care. The new requirements Google is asking of marketers to simply undertake its exams have been deemed unreasonable and extreme by some. Meanwhile, given the sharp rise of automation in PPC, marketers are questioning the value of acquiring additional certifications, let alone the justification for the associated costs.

‘Ridiculous!’ The PPC has been reacting to Google’s new certification requirements on X and it appears they are not impressed. Paid Search Director Melissa L Mackey, posted:

  • “This is so crazy. “Without any people in the background.” No headphones. WTF. Some of us work from home with other people around and wear headphones so we don’t bug others. Completely ridiculous.”

Global Paid Search Lead, Fraser Andrews, added:

  • “This is actually crazy!”

Michael Costin, founder of digital marketing agency Local Digital, wrote:

  • “The same company that manipulates bids to thieve more money from advertisers now demands that you send them your ID in order to take a test that shows you know how to use their platform properly… that they then manipulate any way.”

National Recycling Week: Things you didn’t know you could recycle for money

Sometimes you find yourself in a financial pickle with no quick fix on the horizon. Don’t worry, it happens to all of us at some point. The good news is the answer you’re looking for could be lurking in your trash can. Or the back of your wardrobe. Or maybe in your bathroom cabinet.

Here are 10 items you might not know that you can recycle for money:

 

Clothes

One of the reasons you may find yourself in said financial pickle is the fact you can’t resist a good old fashion sale. Once again – we’re not judging you!

But how many of the items in your wardrobe do you actually love to wear, if at all?

Instead of just hoarding a whole bunch of perfectly good clothes, you can recycle them and even make a quick little buck.

There are two main ways to do this:

Set up a second-hand online shop

There’s a huge market on eBay, Instagram and Etsy for second-hand clothes. Spend some time browsing through other online stores to see what other people ask for items then set up your own!

Read this article for a few tips on how to get started.

Cash in on in-store recycling plans

In an effort to up their sustainability ante, many large clothing retailers have launched recycling schemes.

H&M, Monki and Marks & Spencer allow customers to drop off bags old clothes – any brand is acceptable – in store. In return, they offer discount vouchers you can put toward your next purchase. Okay, so you’re not making money, but this is a great way to build up some credit for an occasion that absolutely calls for a new dress.

 

Ink Cartridges

Every year an estimated 57 million ink cartridges find their way into UK landfills, rubbish dumps and incinerators. Considering it can take just one cartridge up to 1,000 years to decompose, these figures are very alarming. It’s easy to recycle cartridges so don’t contribute to the problem – sell them to a recycling company and you’ll also make yourself some money.

There are a whole host of companies that will pay up to £4.50 per empty cartridge! Here are a few you can check out:

 

Wine Corks

recycle corks

Unless you’re fond of arts and crafts, you’ve probably never given a second thought to throwing the cork away after polishing off a bottle of chardonnay.

Well, best stop doing that and recycle them for cash instead.

Believe it or not, wine corks are a super hot commodity among crafty folks. In fact, there is a whole section dedicated to used wine corks on eBay where bundles of between 50 and 100 go for up to £8.00.

 

Hair

We know this may sound slightly creepy, but recycling your hair is – in fact – a thing. But, it’s also mostly for a good cause.

Hair Harvest is one of the companies that buys human hair and then turns it into wigs for vulnerable patients who have lost their own hair for one reason or another.

The amount they pay depends on the length of hair you are able to part with. Here’s a rough guide:

14-15 inches – £25 – £60
16-18 inches – £50 – £150
19 inches and above- £60 – £200

You can visit the Hair Harvest website for the rules and regulations around the process of recycling your hair.

Read our article to find out more about selling your hair.

 

Mobile phones

Make anything from £5-£600 for your old, battered phone.

Did you know there are over 80 million mobiles in the UK just lying around doing nothing?

So if you’ve got a few languishing in a drawer or under your bed, now is the time to opt for recycling and get some cash in return!

Visit the Compare and Recycle website for comparisons on how much you can make selling your phone on different platforms.

While you can get around £600 for an iPhone XS with 64g memory, you will probably be more willing to sell an older model. According to the site, you can get up to £194 for an iPhone 6 and up to £350 for an iPhone 7 Plus.

 

Beauty product containers

Still have mascara from two years ago tucked away in the bottom of your make-up bag? Or that lipstick you thought you’d rock on nights out, but were never brave enough to wear? Perhaps it’s time you let go.

Fortunately, John Lewis & Partners recently launched a beauty recycling trial, called BeautyCycle, which offers members of its loyalty programme the chance to recycle empty makeup and skincare beauty products from any brand.

The programme offers members £5 off a beauty purchase when they bring empty beauty products and packaging from any brand into a shop. While it’s not cold, hard cash, it will definitely help you save!

 

Broken crockery

Like wine bottle corks, broken plates, saucers, cups, tiles and even mirrors are popular items amongst crafters. Especially those who like making mosaics.

If you have a pile of defunct crockery or building materials, make up ‘surprise’ hampers of between 20 and 150 pieces and sell them on eBay or Etsy.

Boxes of 20 pieces can go for about £8, while boxes of 150 can get you up to £15.

 

Loo roll

Oh, and another thing popular with crafters is old toilet rolls.

They often need more toilet rolls than they can produce, so are willing to pay for them on sites such as eBay and Gumtree.

Okay, you won’t make a fortune, but £7 for 50 rolls is better than just throwing them away!

Find out more about making money selling your loo roll here. 

 

Lego

recycle lego

If your child has outgrown their love of Lego, don’t even think about letting those colourful little blocks gather dust on some nursery room shelf. Instead, you can make a decent bit of pocket money by selling them on eBay!

Currently, 1kg bundles of average blocks can go for up to £20. Of course, if you have limited release figurines, you can make quite a bit more.

Read more about making money with Lego!

 

Underwear

Yes, there are people out there (well, mostly men) who are willing to pay for your used knickers!

It’s weird, you might find it a bit distasteful, but it can be quite lucrative.

There are whole sites set up to help you offer this service, such as:

Sites such as

  • PantyDeal
  • The Kinky Boutique
  • Sofia Gray

You can sell your knickers from about £12 to a couple of hundred quid. One of our readers actually made over £4,500 doing this, so there is real money to be made.

Tips to Help Your DIY Renovation Project Run Smoothly

Home Business Magazine Online

Renovating your home can be an excellent way to improve your living space and doing it DIY can be a cost-effective solution to help turn your house into a dream home. However, it will require planning and preparation to ensure you do your home DIY project excellently. Whether you’re looking to refresh a tired room, increase the value of your property, or indulge your creative side, a DIY renovation project can be a fantastic opportunity. Below are some tips to help you plan your renovation project and ensure you will be delighted with the results.

Define Your Goals & Set Your Budget

The first thing you will need to do is define the goals of your renovation project and set a suitable budget that will allow you to complete the work to a high standard. You want to create a list to prioritise the work you want to do and use your budget to determine what is achievable. You want to do everything you can to stick to your budget but ensure a contingency is available in case unexpected problems arise. Once your goals and budget are defined, you can move on to the research phase of your project.

Research Your Options

You can now start looking at different options of things you can do with your DIY renovation project, and you can find inspiration online. You can get ideas of things you can do, materials you can use, and techniques to do the work when you search online. It can help you formulate a plan for your work and ensure you select something that will look fantastic when finished. However, depending on your DIY skills, you may not want to tackle jobs that are too big and outside your skillset. Once you have completed this, you can create a timeline for the work.

Create a Timeline

Now that you have confirmed the project you will undertake, you can create a timeline for the job, which can also help you source the materials and tools you need. You want to create separate stages for the work and ensure you allow enough time to complete each stage of the project. Doing this can help you manage your time effectively and help you avoid unnecessary delays.

Create Yourself a Shopping List

You can now take the stages you have made for the project and create a shopping list of the tools and materials needed to complete it. For each project stage, list all the tools, materials, and equipment you will require, giving you a comprehensive list of everything needed to complete the job. You will likely have some of the things on your list already, so you can remove them, leaving you with a shopping list of the things you must purchase before starting your renovation project.

Shop for Supplies

Now that you have a list of everything you require, you can start sourcing everything before you start your project. You may have friends or family members that you can borrow the tools from, which can save you money, but you must ensure you take excellent care of them, and if you break or lose them, you must replace them. You can start looking for everything else you need online, such as drylining, timber, paint, nails, screws, and other items, and where possible, you will want to get as much as you can from one supplier, which can help reduce delivery charges. Ensure you shop around and try to find the best deal possible, and you can also consider hiring tools and equipment you need, which can be much cheaper than buying them. Once you have everything you need in place, you can take some time to brush up on your skills before you get your renovation project underway.

Brush Up on Your Skills

Before tackling your renovation project, you will want to brush up on the skills needed to complete the task. There are plenty of tutorial videos you can find online on platforms such as YouTube that can teach you the skills you need and give you lots of handy tips. Whether installing plasterboard, laminate flooring, or anything else, you can get lots of help online when you look. Take the time to ensure you are sufficiently prepared for the task at hand, and you will now be ready to get things underway.

Take Your Time

When you start your project, you do not want to rush things, and taking your time can help ensure you complete the task to your desired standard. Taking your time and not rushing things can help prevent costly mistakes, and if you do come unstuck, do not be afraid to ask for help. You will hopefully complete your project within your chosen timeframe and budget and transform how your home looks and feels without spending too much money. It may also give you the DIY bug and the confidence to tackle bigger and better projects.

Different Options Available When Installing a Suspended Ceiling in Your Workplace

Home Business Magazine Online

When you plan to install a suspended ceiling in your workplace, there are many options you must consider that can ensure you select the best option. Choosing a suitable dropped ceiling can help create a comfortable and productive working environment that benefits your business and its employees. You must look at all the available options carefully and weigh which one is the best for your office space, and once decided, find a suitable company to install it for you. Below are some options you can consider for the suspended ceiling in your office space and some tips to help you along the way.

The Role of Your Suspended Ceiling

First, you must consider the role you need your suspended ceiling to play in your workplace. You can use a suspended ceiling to tidy the office by hiding cabling and ducting, have additional insulation to regulate the temperature in the space, reflect light into gloomy offices, or help control sound. You must consider what role your ceiling needs to play in your office, which can be dictated by the type of work your business does. ‘Once you have considered the role your dropped ceiling will play in your office design, you can start looking at the options available.

Different Ceiling Tile Materials

You can use various materials for the ceiling tiles in your suspended ceiling, each with different properties and benefits. Some of the various suspended ceiling tiles are as follows:

1. Gypsum Ceiling Tiles

One of the most common materials for suspended ceiling tiles is made with Gypsum board, a versatile material. Gypsum ceiling tiles can be adapted to different styles, from classic to contemporary, and they are visually appealing. The ceiling tiles can be prone to moisture damage, so they must be sealed correctly, and they do not have very good acoustic insulation properties. However, they are versatile, fire-resistant, and a cost-effective solution for your ceiling that will look fantastic when installed.

2. Wooden Ceiling Tiles

If you want something elegant for your office space, consider installing wooden tiles in your suspended ceiling. Wooden ceiling tiles offer class and style, and you can opt for natural wood or ceiling tiles with a wooden veneer. These ceiling tiles can help create a welcoming and sophisticated atmosphere, and you will often find these tiles used in upscale offices, hotels, and restaurants to add some luxury to the aesthetics. Wooden ceiling tiles also offer excellent thermal insulation, and you can customise them with the different types of wood you can use. However, wooden ceiling tiles are expensive, and you must maintain them to keep them in excellent condition. They are also not suitable for areas with high humidity.

3. Acoustic Ceiling Tiles

Consider installing acoustic ceiling tiles in your suspended ceiling when you have a busty office that can get noisy. Improving the acoustics in a room is one of the most common reasons for installing a suspended ceiling, and adding acoustic ceiling tiles can help you control the noise in a busy workplace. The ceiling tiles absorb and dampen sound, reducing the overall noise level and preventing sound from travelling from one room to another. The ceiling tiles are often made with mineral wool or fibreglass and are available in various styles and designs. They can be more expensive than other ceiling tile options, but the improved noise control can help make a more comfortable working environment for your employees and boost their productivity.

4. Metal Ceiling Tiles

When you are looking for a sleek and futuristic option for your suspended ceiling, metal suspended ceiling tiles are an option you can consider. They are highly durable and will last for a long time, and this ceiling tile style is common in offices, restaurants, and retail stores. You can purchase metal ceiling tiles in various finishes and styles with different colour options. These ceiling tiles are easy to clean and are resistant to damage and moisture. However, their installation can be complex, and you will require a suitable suspended ceiling installation guide. They can also reflect noise and increase the echo in a space, so they may not be ideal for busy and loud office spaces.

5. Fibre Optic Ceiling Tiles

Another option is fibre optic ceiling tiles, which light up and help you create a bold statement. These ceiling tiles can help you create a unique atmosphere and are common in places like restaurants, theatres, or art galleries. The ceiling tiles are embedded with fibre optic strands that can emit a soft and ambient light, helping to create a visually striking environment. However, these ceiling tiles are one of the most expensive options and may not be suitable for a regular office. They will require professional installation, but they are ideal for creating a sense of drama or spectacle in a space.

Essential Aspects to Consider When Purchasing Furnace Filters

Home Business Magazine Online

Could you be in need of a new furnace filter for your home? Here are important aspects to consider when buying one. Everyone today wants a healthy environment for their families in their homes, and that is why the HVAC system plays a significant role. An HVAC system collects the air from your residential or commercial indoor places by a blower motor. Then, it recirculates throughout your house.

A furnace filter absorbs dust and other particles from the air and helps you to keep a healthy environment for your family. Changing your furnace filters will improve the air quality and your health and remove dangerous particles from the air. However, there is a wide range of furnace filters available in the market with a wide variety of quality and discount furnace filter coupons. So, we must consider certain things before purchasing a good quality filter. Here, we will discuss the five essential factors to consider when buying furnace filters. So, let’s get started.

The Price of the Furnace Filter

Whether you are purchasing your furnace filter online or in a physical marketplace, you will see original and aftermarket products. Both will work fine, but they have different features. The brand manufacturers manufacture authentic products. That is why it seems costly. On the other hand, aftermarket products are manufactured by individual manufacturers.

Aftermarket products can be used in your existing air system. They are relatively cheaper than the original products. However, we recommend that you choose authentic products. Choosing a low-cost filter might provide you with the same quality in the beginning, but in the long term, you need to change it frequently.

The Size

When shopping for a new filter, you need to give careful consideration to the size options. If you buy a filter that is the incorrect size, it will not fit on your furnace, and it will not be able to give pure air to your home. Therefore, before you go out and get a new filter, you should measure the right size of your current filter.

The Quality

When we talk about quality, there are two rating systems. They are the MERV Rating and CADR Rating. Merv Rating is more efficient than CADR Rating. Merv Rating is something that helps you to measure the quality of your furnace filter. If you purchase a good quality filter based on the Merv rating, it will absorb the microscopic particles from the air.

The Types

Nowadays, there are different types of filters available in the market. They are HEPA (High-efficiency particulate air), carbon filters, electronic filters, and so on. These filters have been designed based on customer needs. If you are looking for a price-saving filter, you can choose a flat panel or pleated filter. On the other hand, if you have allergy issues, you can go for a High-efficiency particulate air filter.

Life Expectancy

It is necessary to change furnace filters regularly since they have a finite lifetime. When making your purchase, it is important to consider how long the filter is expected to last so that you can keep it the same.

Final Thoughts

You might be thinking about which furnace filter would be the right fit for you. Right? Well, it depends on your needs. Everyone has different needs and health issues. Make sure that you find out your needs and then consider the things mentioned above. Make sure that this content will help you select the right product for you.

YouTube launches new feature to enhance product ad targeting

YouTube is rolling out a new feature that enables creators to add timestamps to tagged products in their videos.

When the timestamp is added, a shopping cart button will appear at an optimal moment when there is an anticipated increased chance of engagement.

Why we care. Precision in targeting potential customers during strategic moments, coupled with improvements in the shopping experience, could result in increased engagement and conversions.

Why now. The move will give back some control to creators and sponsors ahead of YouTube’s decision to sunset some ad controls for newly uploaded videos next month for the following ad types:

  • Pre-roll
  • Post-roll
  • Skippable
  • Non-skippable

New shopping features. In addition to the new timestamps, YouTube is rolling out further features to improve the shopping experience. For example, it is going to enable creators to bulk tag affiliate products in video libraries. A spokesperson told The Verge that this tool could:

  • “Help you earn revenue from older content that still gets high traffic.”
