Can You Really Earn from Blogging?

Like I always said, I am new to blogging. Here are things that I have learn from the few months of trying to earn extra money.

The reason why I wanted to continue blogging is that I can write possibly anything. I do restrict myself to blog only those that I think would be helpful. Through blogging, I have earned a little. Here's a tip. Normally a typical Filipino would love to earn big over night. That's is what I call Super Lotto Big Winner. In blogging, you have to write in the most honest way as possible. You could not just copy and paste someone else's blog on your blog. It is a no-no according to my friend Boink. In blogging, you have to write with emotions. No matter how attractive your Title Posts are, still nobody would like to read it. Again, you have to take a look at where you are and what you do so that it can have a connection to the blog that you are trying to make.

Let me give an example to that. I am a marketing assistant and every time I write a post for my blog I have to make it in line with what I am good at and that's how to market. I am proud to be a Filipino so I write things which can be helpful to Filipinos. I could not write about Singaporeans or other Asians nor Americans. Also, I have to consider that blogging in the Philippines is not that popular as to blogging in the United States of America. Although there are a lot of Filipino internet users but still not all have heard of blogging or at least understand blogging.

Can you really earn from blogging? Yes, you can earn from blogging. You just got to get it started and start with sense and emotions. I have earned that little because I am starting and I am positive I can earn more if I do continue to blog and not to expect to earn that big soon. Blogging is an art. For me, it is an abstract that needs a careful thinking.

I Signed Up for PPP!

I work for a business process outsource company and as part of the marketing team, I am tasked to establish the company's web presence. I gladly took this on since it allowed me to do one of the things I enjoy doing: blogging. I've subscribed to various blogs and I came upon topics on how to earn from blogging. These blogs keeps recommending one site: PayPerPost . I decided to give PayPerPost a try.

The first thing that impressed me with PayPerPost is the clean interface that's very easy to navigate. Registration was hassle-free and within a few minutes I was good to go. PayPerPost has made it very easy to find the opportunities that's best suited for me.

What I like about PPP is that I was able to meet some Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) and it is nice to know that they are online, making blogs and at the same time earning extra. In my previous posts I have mentioned that my Mother used to be an OFW and she died in Taiwan. It was so hard to communicate with her and Mom would always find a way to earn extra. If only PPP is available when my Mom is still alive, she could be like my good friend Reyna Elena who is blogging and earning at the same time.

I love blogging and PayPerPost has given me the chance to take a crack at earning while blogging. I already have referred some of my friends to use PayPerPost as a means to monetize their own blogs.

I signed up for PPP hoping to reach out for more Filipinos abroad. I am also wishing that I earn extra like them. Who wouldn't want money anyway? For those who wouldn’t like to earn extra money, then why are you reading this post?

If I get lucky I would probably be an advertiser and not just a blogger with PayPerPost.

Make Money in Blogging

I know that you can write anything in your blog. You can write some personal stuff, some travel pictures with some notes on it, write about food, write about how corrupt someone is, write about anything under the sun.

This is my first blog and I do not know exactly if I am making the right one where in I can attract others to read my posts. I do not follow formats as like others would recommend; "Talk about one topic." I can' talk about one topic. I know I can make another blog of another topic but I would prefer my first blog to have all what I wanted to write.

Making money through blogging is not an ordinary thing today. A lot of people have tried and some were lucky to earn through Adsense, PayPerPost, Adverlets and other services available. Whether you are required to do a blog of a product or you simply write what is on your mind.

I do not intend to simply ask you to copy and paste some post on the internet. Although you can give comments on to someone else's blog. Instead of writing a short comment why not make it a post.

Like I always tell myself, "No Pain No Gain". Happy blogging everyone.

How do People Get Paid When They Do Blogging?

Always wanted to earn extra with what I have at home. What do I have at home? Well, I have a complete set of computer and I spend more than 5 hours in the internet. If you wanna count how much you are spending, let me count it to you.

(Davao Setting)
1. Electricity - 1,000 a month
2. Internet Usage - 999 a month
3. Computer or Equipment Depreciation - 100 a month
4. Hours spent - 4 hours no income (not so productive hours)

Total = 2,099 monthly

8,000 monthly income - 2,099 expenses (for internet surfing) = 5,001 gross income (because I have to pay taxes and SSS and Philhealth and Pag-ibig Contribution)

I would spend 26% of my salary on internet usage alone. Imagine that as a big spender. I don't spend much time shopping but I am actually like shopping every pay day.

A lot of Filipinos are thinking of ways on how to earn extra. I do hope I am helping you through this post.

Using your very own internet connection and your computer at home, you can earn extra through blogging. Create your account with Blogger or with Wordpress. You can join BlogRush or PayperPost service. Join Google Adsense or at least browse and read blogs that offers help on how to monetize your blog online.

It is not simple. It took me 3 months to study and do research on my own. Remember, there is no harm in trying.

I got BlogRush in my Blog Vein

Like I always say, I am new to blogging. Just today I came across BlogRush. Another new blog service launched by John Reese, a content syndication network that claims to be capable of sending free, targeted traffic to your blog. It is like show what's mine and I'll show what's yours kinda thing. You can see the widget at the left bottom part of my blog and you can see five feeds of different blogs.

However, I could not tell you how effective this is but you can try it out. No one knows BlogRush would be big someday.

For those who wants to try it register here.

My All Time Favorite Song

This is for my cousin Marjorie! And for my Teddy Bear

I NEVER DREAMED SOMEONE LIKE YOU

Could it be that the lady is me in this photograph
I'm afraid coz it feels so good and I want it too bad
It's just not true couldn't asked for any more than you
Because you looked at me as though I'm beautiful
Could it be that you want me?

I never dreamed someone like you could want someone like me.

I'm not sure that the more that it's real the more it's a lie?
Oh one lie is it though we've been lovers all of our life
There must be a god could it be that he's heard me now
Because you looked at me as though I'm beautiful
Could it be the lady is me?

I never dreamed someone like you could want someone like me.

All the pain and the pleasure so seem it goes so fast
I'm the girl with the strawberry hair in the photograph
So come on lets dance... Let me have it while I have a chance
Coz there's another world where there are other girls
But tonight there's only me

I never dreamed someone like you could want someone like me.

How do You Make Big Bucks?

Are you Robert Kayosaki? or Bill Gates? or Juan Tamad?

Whoever you want to be like, I wanna know how you make big bucks. Did you earn that millions through your fathers bank account? You were the only son so when he died he left everything to you. Did you earn that millions because you trick 100 people to join multilevel marketing? Did you worked for 50 years to earn that millions? Or all of what I've just written were old school technique?

My friend says, he has been to blogging since last year. He have adsense in all his blogs but he did not earn anything. What could have happened? I started blogging last May 2007 and recently have adsense in my blog and I got 1.33$. What did I do? Honestly, I don't know.

Do you know? Share some tips on how to make money online. Post it here. Would love to hear from you.

Un-Bearable

Where art thou my Teddy Bear?

Hope to hear from you soon Teddy. I love you Jerry
