Ed Earns

I am an HP540 and I was bought by my master some time this year. I was bought by cold blogging money. Yes, Ed really has a lot of earnings (though not as much) when he started venturing into his own website and creating blogs of different sorts. He is really happy to be able to buy a laptop that he could carry wherever he wants. Although he’s not a gamer, he’s a serious blogger and worker. He carries me around almost wherever so he could keep on working on tasks and other opportunities he could get out of blogging.

You can just imagine how many pictures are in my hard drive as well, I have to remind him to get a portable one to back up his files just to be safe. Anyway, I have to get going; it seems like I’m going inside another cafe again to work. What a busy master; definitely a busy blogger.

You want to buy me? HP has some coupon deals that you might want to take advantage of:
$30 stackable site-wide coupon
Suggested messaging: $30 off orders $150 or greater at HP Home Store. Use coupon code SV2132.

Note: Valid through 10/31 or while supplies last. Restrictions and exclusions apply.

I was able to withdraw about a hundred bucks from SocialSpark some time last month. I used the money up for my Manila trip considering that I didn’t bring enough cash. The hundred dollars was actually around 5 months worth of waiting for opportunities in this marketplace. I’m just glad to be able to get some available tasks especially that I’m not really that lucky with PayPerPost or other forms of blogger-advertise networking sites.

What I like about Social Spark is that despite having to wait around 30 days for the payent to arrive, you still have the option to cash out your money. Meaning, it will still be under your account until you wish to cash them out before you can put it to your paypal address. That means more transactions and then you can save more because you have to really take a bit of your time to get your money. Sometimes when it’s a bit of a hassle for you, you just want to put the money in one corner until it all piles up until it becomes big. I wouldn’t have enjoyed the hundred dollars if it weren’t for this feature. Don’t get me wrong, once you cash out your money in Social Spark, it will automatically go in your paypal account; and no, there are NO CHARGES for cashing out. I just like the fact that I have an excuse not to get the money right away. hehe.

I bought a domain already. But it’s a domain for a personal blog that I’m not publicizing much. The reason why I bought one is because of some certain limitations of having a just a blogger or a Wordpress account.

Here’s what happened. I created a personal blog in Wordpress. I posted some entries until it reached a certain number of posts and I made sure that it would be ready to get accepted by paid post sites. I signed up for some accounts already; some sites approved my blog, some didn’t because it’s not yet ranked. But there was one paid post site that informed me that they wouldn’t accept that Wordpress account because Wordpressdoesn’t allow paid posts in its site. My eyes became wide open at that time, being dumbfounded. And I thought Wordpress was all that. According to the TOS (Terms of Service), they really don’t allow paid posts. So I resulted to just buying my own domain and host, that’s what you get for not reading. sheesh.

Because I didn’t want to move all my entries to another account like blogger/blogspot that allows paid posts (since I also have two other accounts here, edearns.blogspot.com and edsnaps.blogspot.com, I suddenly bought a site already. That was the driving factor for leading me to getting my own domain.

Other factors that are still important are that paid post sites would give priority to those sites that have their own domain. So, even if your free blogger account gets approved, advertisers would still hire you if your blog is worthy. It’s just that they’d give more importance to those who aren’t hosted to a free account.

Also, since I didn’t know how to set up my own site. Because of this, I’m able to understand the concept of FTP servers and PHP permissions and plug-ins. This will add to my credibility since I have encountered the many frustrations of building a site; especially that I’m not a technical person. I just like to learn a lot so I won’t look like a fool when people ask me questions on how I did what and where.

In the mean time, just to clarify things, you can still use a free blogger account (I guess blogspot would still be the best choice). As for me, I have to deal with some paid post sites that I’ve already created tasks for. I hope it wouldn’t be back to the drawing board.created tasks for and see how to manage this predicament.

At least the hosting isn’t that expensive, actually it’s quite cheap for me. I don’t even know how to compare it with other hosting services out there. But I got this data from a colleague at work who’s credibility I don’t have any question about. So I tried this host out for myself. If ever you’re interested, you can click the banner below which serves as my referral bonus if some of you might want to purchase an account. I bought the host for a dollar a month, their most affordable package.

Of course, before you can earn some money online thru blogging, you need to have a blog in the first place, which totally makes sense. hehe. I tried looking for some online college courses to gain more information about it but it seemed that you just need to be resourceful in finding the perfect platform for you.

I definitely recommend that you try to set up you blog here in Blogger/Blogspot more than anywhere else. Just to let you know, I used to have a blog in Blog-city, but when it folded up, I wanted to try a place where it’s still simple. I tried using Wordpress, and yes it is simple. However because of Wordpress’ simplicity, it also came with limited features. You can’t customize it as much as what you can do with Blogger when it comes to themes and layouts, making money, Google adsense (since it’s powered by Google), paid posts and mostly everything!

Honestly, I’m not really trying to sell Blogger, it’s just that as of the moment, no one can beat this blog host; which explains why the lack of available user IDs to choose because it’s already congested.

Anyway, you can simply apply online for blogger, that is you need to have a Gmail account. If you don’t have one, then you can let somebody who has one invite you to create one. Every Gmail user has about 50 invitations he/she can send out to anyone. If you wish to have one, just PING me and I’ll invite you.

After you have created a blog, then of course you need to maintain it. You need to update it regularly, it doesn’t have to be everyday though it’s good if you do. The reason why this is so is for you to establish your blog from different search engines to have a mark on the world wide web. Your blog can be whatever you’d like to put in; sports, music, hobbies, personal, etc., there are endless topics to choose from. If you don’t have any specific topic to blog about, then you can just blog about anything! Again, the technique is to leave a mark in the web space.
