I am pleased to have a dream job to work at home since February 2004. And I work in my pajamas. There are some of the programs like blogging which pays average amount now and I have accumulated at least USD 300 but still there is no payment to the bloggers like me. I wonder how long it takes before we get our payment by paypal. I have spent countless hours writing blog posts and it does not take more than 5 minutes for the money to be transferred to me by paypal, yet I had to wait for so many months already and the money is still stuck there. Sometimes, it kills the motivation to blog more but I need to update my blogs as well. So I hope the people in charge will read this and make the necessary payment promptly to poor bloggers like us.

It looks good how much we have accumulated, but there is no payment even though it is stated in the website that payments are made on the first every month! And I still don’t see my moolah for the last 2 to 3 months already! I remember seeing on television the cheering teams in action for the various schools in Kuala Lumpur. Some of the members can perform gymnastic tricks and wear cheer shoes with cheerleading bows and gorgeous cheerleading outfits to compete with other teams.

It takes hours of practise and determination to give an impeccable performance during competition and to impress the judges. That is the good thing about subscribing to satellite television locally where we can watch so many different channels like CNN, BBC, CNBC, documentaries, HBO movies, etc. It also saves money from going to the cinemas just to catch a good movie where you can watch so many channels at home in your pajamas and be entertained for hours.

Web directory review

I have been blogging for several years now since late 2006. It started off as a hobby initially and then ventured into money making opportunities from advertisements. To earn money from your site, you need to have decent traffic. You need to get down to the basics of getting higher traffic like using business web directory or business listing where some are paid while others are free of charge. Traffic is key to higher earnings and you cannot neglect this factor. Hence, blogging is now very much a part of my daily activities and I post regularly even while away on a business trip.

That is because I can blog anywhere as long as I bring along my laptop with internet connectivity. While on a business trip locally, I also lug around my broadband modem with the power cable so that I can check emails anytime of the day.
Sometimes I use Social media to promote my blogs. You also need to make use of business web directories for higher exposure so that you will get more visitors to your sites and this means potentially more money into your pockets. A business web directory is a site with many listings of the various business web sites where you can go and check them out. Business web directories are useful tools to get more visitors to your websites or blogs.

Currently I maintain my company web site and own several blogs where I will posts regularly to update them. As long as you have the determination, you will not falter and give up easily. It takes time and effort to have a constant stream of repeat visitors and these are the people who will likely click on the advertiser’s links to generate some revenue for you. You also need to make your blog interesting with some pictures, personal notes, constant updates and stories to tell. I am blessed with a laptop to work in a cozy environment at my home office.

Getting high traffic is the key to the success of your web sites or blogs. That is why webmasters engage search engine optimization company to do the job for them such as to increase website traffic through methods like link building, PPC, video production, web site design overhaul, and social media traffic like Facebook or Twitter, MySpace, Friendster and the list goes on.

The best type of free traffic is organic search engine optimization where you can be found in the top ten listing of Google for a certain keyword. Organic traffic is search engine traffic that is viral and will bring in lots of visitors to your site. These are targeted traffic based on certain keywords that are typed in Google search bar.

You also cannot ignore the power of social media like Facebook, Google Buzz, Twitter, MySpace, Friendster, etc. There are millions of registered users for Facebook which is worth at least 15 billion now. Even the humble Twitter is worth 10 billion in US dollars. There is certainly money to be made if you know programming and can design another social networking site that takes off in a big way. So far, I only have Facebook and Twitter accounts and only check on them now and then.

Video production using Youtube is another way to get mass traffic to your site. When people go to Youtube to search for a particular even that you have shot, they will come and visit your web site which drives more traffic and this will result in more income from your blogs or web site that are monetized to receive revenue.

I have bought a book by Yanik Silver on Moonlighting on the Internet for about $80.00+ or so. So far the book has lots of teasers of successful students of Yanik and it does not exactly tell you what to do to earn so much as claimed by his students. There are free tools here and there as you go along the book and resources to check out in his web site. I have read more than half of the book, but there is nothing new there other than stories of his successful students who follow his methods. From eBay to Yahoo merchant account to Affiliate marketing and blogging, there is nothing new that you cannot find from the internet.

    This blog had some problems with the hosting company in KL some days ago and I could not get it resolved immediately. I could not publish a single post at all, hence the delay and no updates recently until now. I have been hosting with the same company since 2002 and the hosting fees are not cheap either! Which is why I decided not to continue with another blog that has expired as it does not generate any revenue for me. This blog has been around for so many years already and is quite established. When the problem started, I was considering migrating to another hosting company in Penang that is quite dynamic and reliable. Well, when the time comes, I will consider whether to take this action or not as it will require a lot of efforts and time. A reliable hosting company should guarantee 99.9% uptime and working condition of the blogs but with the present company, I don’t see this happening.

    Due to reasons only kept to myself, I have not been blogging here as often as before. Also due to being busy with work that kept me occupied in my home office. From calculating prices to emailing quotations and brochures, I have work every day with my present company. There is also the frequent travelling needed and I bring along my lap top to check new emails and to work online. My parents are now in Jakarta enjoying their holidays, the second within 3 months. In March, they were in Macau under the SAGE group tour. Hence, it has been a while since I last updated this blog which is quite well developed with many links and old pictures uploaded from Flickr. For my own safety and privacy, I no longer put so many photos to boast anymore. Instead I now save money on digital camera batteries which are not cheap either.

    payingpost 2007 was a very good year to make money blogging. But in the last year, it was not as lucrative compared to the previous year. In 2009, there are still some more opportunities to take from paid blogging work with thousands of blogging joining in the ranks and it is more competitive. But to make money blogging is easy. All you need is to open up a blog using WordPress or the free Google’s Blogger web site and post regularly for 1 month with at least 20 posts to be accepted into the program.

    PayingPost also has its own blog for you to check out on updates and the latest information. Many work at home moms and those freelancers and bloggers are jumping on the bandwagon to do paid blogging weekly, earning lucrative, income through their PayPal. This is one the methods to earn money online and does not require hard core critical thinking unlike programming codes in the thousands of lines. You just write what comes to mind and simply put the advertiser’s hyperlink with selected keywords to it. Ain’t it easier than that?

    Paid blogging has earned me some pocket money in the past and I have saved up whatever I earned online for my retirement plan. This is so that I have financial freedom in my golden years, no need to depend on anyone for a living. And I have to make sure I have enough savings to tide me through those golden years of sunset. As I am not married and don’t have children, I cannot depend on them to pay for my expenses when I am old. So make hay while the sun shines and take the opportunity to earn as much as you can while you are able. There are many programs offering paid blogging and PayingPost is one of them.

    Blog Pictures | acobox.com

    Acobox.com helps bloggers make their blog posts sexy with nice images. The site is unique because it allows bloggers to insert image with just a click and Ctr-V, without downloading, resizing, and uploading images using Photoshop or other image editing software. You can even select the size of your images from 100px, 200px, 300px, 400px to 500px which is the biggest size for most blogs either using WordPress or Blogger. The image above here is from Acobox.com. You can sign up as a blogger or photographer in this nifty web site. This will certainly save me time from uploading images from my digital camera to computer and then processing them for upload to Flickr and then copying the links to my blog posts.

    I will now use Acobox more often as they have many beautiful images that can be used for Free. All good things come in free packages. Some of the photos are touched up and look professionally done like the picture of a large red rose with shadows added according to the angle of the light – not your usual default shadow that is added for every image in Photoshop. You no longer have to buy expensive image editing software to touch up your digital photos anymore. I hope Acobox will be a successful company offering more free images with contributions from people the world over for a larger variety of selections.

    They have many image categories like Abstract, Animals, Architecture, Arts Culture & Entertainment, Drawings & Maps, Earth & Space, Engineering & Technology, Landscapes, Monochrome, Panaroma, People, Plants, Urban and Other.

    Twitter I just joined Twitter a few moments ago. This is a Web 2.0 program to help you get in touch with your friends and to know what they are doing currently. That’s provided they have entered short brief information on their goings-on for the day. As it is, I see some familiar faces who have already joined the program from my gmail account. They are liewcf, bernard chan, rajawang and 5xmom. As I am in the quest to promote my blogs to the world wide web, I am finding ways to join Web 2.0 programs to achieve this. Posting comments on high traffic blogs also helps. Have you joined Twitter yet?

    This blog plus my 2 other wordpress blogs have been upgraded to WordPress 2.5, the latest version which came out yesterday. To make it easy, I did not disable the many plugins and ftp the new files over to my blog. Then I encountered an error message linking one of the plugins. After dinner, I had an idea and decided to delete the plugin using WS-FTP directly and voila, the blog appeared and in operating condition again. Thank goodness, I don’t have to spend money asking my hosting programmers to troubleshoot the problem.

    The admin page has a new layout with the WordPress 2.5 version in sky blue theme, and I like it. It makes the admin page look fresh and enticing. Just make sure you don’t overwrite the wp_config.php file but precaution has been taken over this when you upload your files during FTP.
