Ed Earns

Been talking to EJ of focalglass.com and we were discussing about branding your website/personal blog in order to market yourself in a more effective way that would catch your reader’s attention.

Like I said before, I’m posting all of my sites here just for reference and so I have something to blog about. hehe. I have 5 personal blogs in total and I don’t know what’s wrong with me if I have soe sort of multiple-personality disorder or something because all of them are personal blogs. haha. Usually, there’s a slight difference that’s why I post whatever I can in each one. I try to develop my own niche in each but sometimes my ,mind is too scattered that I just write whatever I want to write in each.

Through soloflighted.com, I earned my fourth payout! It’s nice cause again, I’ve been referring to this payouts my quarterly bonus. It’s great knowing that there’s some extra moolah that I can get out of blogging. People understand why I blog for money anyway.

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.

I feel guilty that I haven’t been able to update this blog as much. Maybe because I haven’t been earning as much? hehe. Ever since my Page Rank dropped, sheesh, I’ve been getting lesser opportunities from paid post sites.

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.

So I guess I won’t be able to update this site over the weekend. I’ll be off somewhere. That’s why while I’m gone (as if I’ll be gone for how many weeks), I’ll think about some proper topics to discuss when I get back.

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’m so glad that somebody took the time to email me when I posted a topic in istorya. With her permission, I’m putting her response here since she’s interested with how I’m able to earn online; so in turn, people who are interested with the idea may also find some useful tips in return.

I just got my first payout for the month of April from the admin. $110, not bad for somebody who’s just starting out. Not some mba programs could give me this money in such a short span.
