Ed Earns

3rd payout! Yey! I got my 3rd payout which is comprised of paid reviews from last week of May to first two weeks of August 2008. Again, this isn’t much to professional bloggers but I do this as a sideline so it’s nice that almost every now and then, I get a bonus from earning online money.

To blog for money or NOT?

I asked myself this question a whole bunch of times before I returned to blogging. Right now, I’m still stuck in that stage where I don’t want to compromise my site in putting too much commercialism in it as I wanted to preserve the essence of blogging.

BOMBCLICK – somebody asked this question in istorya.

As far as I know, bombclick is a slang for the act of constantly and abusively clicking on your ads. Whether it be you, or another person as far as timbuktu, anyone who keeps on clicking on your ads. Google has a way (that I don’t know what type of tool) of finding the number of clicks if it came from the same origin or IP address and can trace that down.

As said in the previous post, we’re going to talk about how soloflighted.com started to gain traffic to my site..

1. Submitted my site to Google

1. Told some of my friends about it to add to the traffic.

1. Blog-hopped, left some comments and exchanged links – the rule is usually i scratch your back, you scratch mine.

I’m running out of topics to write. haha. I can’t believe it came to this point already, this early? I was so sure I had a lot of information I could give to people out there; but right now there’s a drought of data in my head.

Once again, I managed to receive a reply from the same reader, Lorie. And I’m posting my response here as well as her message, with permission of course.

Hi, Ed! It’s Lourie, actually.

I started earning money for extra tasks from the admin during November of 2007. But it’s only now that I started to earn money for my site. Here’s a list of things I did that began my adventures in the blogging business.

I initially wrote “Things to Do” for this list, but since I can’t guarantee that you’ll have the same outcome as I do, I replaced it with “Things I Did”. This mainly serves as a guide for reference.

I created this blog just to chronicle the life of my site: soloflighted.com and how I started earning and making money out of it. Some people may find the idea of blogging money absurd, especially those who are really skeptical. Sure you may laugh at me as I may sound like an email spammer, as if I sell different types of medicines or insurances from Timbuktu. But hey, I’m really earning! I don’t have to get a degree online just to do so. You just need to have a bit of perseverance and a whole lot of patience.
