Ed Earns

I have yet to post my earnings for this year. Supposedly, I was to post the total amount the first week of December when I’ve tallied all the money that I’ve earned through blogging and other online opportunities. I guess you can say I got caught up with a lot of activities that even updating my blogs has been a hassle for me; even if I constantly update.

I’ve been a member of Social Spark for about 2 years already, I think. Nowadays, this is where I earn through my blog opportunities. I’m not active in PayPerpost.com or other Sponsored Review sites anymore which is just okay because I’m also working on my freelance work.

Well actually, she bought the laptop herself due to the hassles of shipping overseas and other complications that arise in sending out a device to the Philippines. But that’s beside the point already; she got a laptop as a bonus for the services she’s been doing for an employer of hers.

Was shocked when I tallied all my earnings from November last year to November this year. I went back to blogging on November so suffice to say, 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.

I withdrew my other earnings from Social Spark which is 314.50  dollars. I think this has got to be the biggest cash out that I have made in this money making website. I am really glad as this is probably the only marketplace that I am getting some good earning. I don’t think I could reach this high with all the other places that I am earning some income.

My phone was cracking up whenever I would receive a message from one of my contacts that I knew I had to buy a new phone. So I bought a new T700 which I liked since I wanted my new phone to be from Sony Ericcson. I chose this one as this was the cheapest among the items on promo, anyway I’m not that big on cellphones. At least I’d have something to listen to whenever I’d like to play some music and such.

I cashed out some funds from SocialSpark! I withdrew 201 dollars from my account which is the amount accumulated ever since I became active in looking for opportunities some time last June 2009. Now I can put them in my paypal account so I could just accumulate the money to pay off old debts. I’m glad, really really glad of SocialSpark as it’s the only big money-making opportunity that I’ve been getting these months (can’t stress this as much as I can). At least there’s a somewhat steady stream of tasks that I get to write for my blogs and the amounts are big (least is $5 per post and would reach $25). Even if all my sites’ Page Ranks are 0, I still got to be competitive because of RealRank. Thanks SocialSpark!

I’m still waiting for my money to reach a certain amount but it’s almost time for another cashout and I’m glad that somehow I’m able to come up with another payout. I wasn’t expecting that I’d be getting it sooner than I thought. Right now, here are the major sites that send me some extra money.

People might wonder what I’ve been doing with the money I’ve earned while blogging. For one, I travel a lot. No, I don’t travel extravagantly, I still stick to a budget but the opportunity to go to places I only dreamed about is very much accessible. Aside from my work salary (which is used for my daily expenses as well as helping out my family), I use my blog earnings for these out of town trips to get the much-needed rest and relaxation from the city as well as satisfying my adventuresome side. But it doesn’t mean that these outings are for outing’s sake alone, I also use these to help put more information on my blog as I also document my trips online for other people to read and scan. So in the end, it’s not more on luxury but it also adds to the entries that I talk about in because of these experiences and blogging trips.

My hp bebe came with a twin! And it’s all because of blogging, again!

A week after I got my laptop, I was able to purchase another passion gadget, my DSLR camera. I was too high to tweak the former that’s why I never had much time to talk about the latter. I’m still on a high about having both these gadgets in February (there’s something about this month) but I know I should be able to find my return of investment.
