Ed Earns

Been inactive these days. I know I should come up with an entry at least a week but it’s been hard. Different sideline jobs have been filling my clock that I really have difficulty with keeping up. Sleep has been compromised (what’s new?) and I’m still living in a blur with everything going on.

Will update soon.

I’m supposed to create an entry to help out EJ start with odesk but I apologize I’m not able to update as often as I can. But I promise I’ll create an entry out of it.

I’m just upset in a way that money comes and goes so easily. Although it’s good that I know where it’s going, I just wish that it would stay in my hands for a longer period of time before it’s taken away from me for loans and bills.

I withdrew about 500 dollars from Paypal the other day and now it’s all gone. It’s hard to keep it in your hand for awhile. Now I feel like a real adult with families and kids. I’m trying to invest in something and I hope everything will push through. I’m crossing my fingers so give me 2 weeks.

My blogging jobs have become scarce and I’m now relying on odesk and my other employer to give me the extra moolah that I need. However I feel weak in most cases probably because I’m burned out with working too much.

This is the sad thing about Freelance work. If you don’t work, you don’t get paid. But I’m bent on going full time on this racket. I just need to take that big leap of faith. Soon, I’ll be going it though and I’m working on it to make the transition smoother. My options are flailing and I’m still saving. However, I forget that I have a lot of pending payments which includes my brother’s schooling to boot.

Ahh, the expenses don’t seem to add up properly and I’m not even spending a lot on things already. I’ve reduced my costs to be more practical and only spend on the necessities to have more meaning. 

I just need a break.

Yes I am trying to save the money that I’ve earned and I believe I am in a good speed knowing that I’ve been hitting the target amount that I’ve set myself, so far. I have two planned trips outside the country and the budget that I promised is really way bigger than necessary.

But I don’t plan on spending all of it. I just want to make sure I’m prepared. Besides, I was already spending a lot in the previous year.

There was a point in time when I paid at least 16,000 bucks a month for loans and bills. I don’t know how I was able to survive it but I did. Blogging and earning extra income online really did help me. I’d go ballistic figuring out where I was going to get the money if I didn’t have blogging to help me out.

Now, I still have some ongoing debts to work on but I’m more or less, optimistic that I’d be getting somewhere out of this. Now I just need to continue this stride so I may achieve something.

The last post I made was really something, it’s like me announcing to the world that I’m a money-making machine. However, I don’t see where my money has been going. It makes me wonder what I could do if I were to save all of that and just focus on How to Make Money From Passions.

It’s hard to influence people that something you like doing, whether it be photography and the arts or the internet marketing business,  can really earn you some cash. Sure, it may not be stable; but in the long run, what matters is how you are able to plan carefully in achieving the things that you want to achieve.

I’m glad that I am able to earn some extra money through blogging and through some sideline jobs on the net. I never thought I would become this online nomad that can just go anywhere and bring my laptop with me and actually work. But then, I’m still owned by my time considering that I have a full time day job. I know someday I would have to let go of one so I can focus and really establish and go all out on the passion.

It is hard to get the desire to do something you want to do and I’m glad that I’m getting there, I think. I would have to work on the double since I need to pay a lot of debt accumulated through the years. Debt Consolidation has So Many Benefits Why Wait for the chance to pay for so much. I’m turning things around now and I need to keep the passion burning.

I’m glad to be blogging about a lot of things: traveling and just being online. The internet is a crazy world.

Was shocked when I tallied all my earnings from November last year to November this year. I went back to blogging on November so it would be suffice to say that my earnings report should also end in November. Now, why did I just post this today? Because I didn’t have time… it’s always the excuse.

Going back, I was surprised to see that I’ve earned this much because I kept on wondering where the hell the money went after. Sure there were loans I needed to pay and things I needed to buy as well as places I traveled to. I guess I’m trying to liquidate all my expenses but I know I’ll be all the more upset if I think about the money that’s gone; which misses out on the point of creating this entry in the first place.

I am rejoicing because I never thought I could earn this much. I know I should know better than posting my earnings here because people might think that I’m such an airhead to keep on bragging about my money and such (when I don’t have a lot in reality). I know of bloggers who are being attacked by people just because they’ve posted on their blogs that they’ve earned this much.

According to my hosting provider, “There are a lot of baadddd people online” — indeed there are. Attested to the fact that I 3 of my blogs has been hacked this 2009.

Anyway, blogging as a sideline has been great; I’m planning to go full blast in 2010. And again, for first-time bloggers who may want to earn some extra income themselves, please read through my disclaimer again that what works for me may not work for you. But this is how I did it and it’s just my report so please don’t blame me if your blog doesn’t turn out to be what you expected because of me.

Peace out!

Had another Paypal Cashout Transaction. This was a hurried cashout since I needed the money to pay off some school debts for my brother as well as some pending loans I needed to settle. So much for the withdrawal.

I will most likely work on my yearly accounting report to show how much I’ve earned this year. Will be posting it soon.

Indeed it was, I’ve been looking for some good themes available so I can revive this old blog again. I’ve settled for this one but I still need to tweak some more settings in order to make it look the way I want it to look.

The malware that infected this site was pretty sick – the things that people do to grab attention. This site ain’t even worth it. It gave me some headache too, since I had to finish other responsibilities but my mind kept wandering off to this blog because I couldn’t let it all crash on me.

This served as a lesson for me to keep backing my files up in case another loser wants to degrade their standards and go for smaller sites like this one to invade.

So this is a bit upsetting. It feels like I am starting from scratch when I am trying to bring back my old entries to this site. I just have so many things going on this blog that a hacker thought it was such a treat to finally get into this blog and put some good codes in it.

Being a tech noob, I haven’t been able to work properly due to the frustrations of figuring out a way to bring back my old files minus the malicious data in it. Now I have to start over. Darn it.

It’s really bugging me that I’ve been contacting my hosting provider to keep on asking things about my backup. I don’t know what happened as to why I am not able to log in to my account and I have to make do with whatever support is available. I want to change to another h0sting company if I only have a better budget. Unfortunately I am currently swamped with other tasks that I can’t concentrate on reviving this blog. It will have to take more time.
