I come up with this idea because this is what I’ve got in this last few days. As a full time blogger, everyday is my work day and every day is my holiday. There’s no doubt about it because I work for myself with my own blogs at my own time. Eventhough I have my routine schedule, but sometimes I can’t get it done on time.

So what happened to me in this last few days really makes me exhausted. I have a fever, then muntah-muntah and also a bad headache. I’m not sure what is the reason but it never happen to me before in the fasting month. It is not a gastric or such thing like that. Then, I was told that it is about a poisonous food! Sigh** maybe it come from the bazaar Ramadhan’s food or maybe not.

The only meal that I’ve taken is some pills, cookies and few glass of tea for berbuka and my sahur. No wonder I’m feel so suffer because I still with my fasting. No drink and no food in a day time. I have to go through the whole day with “sleepy” and sleep. I’ve got no choice to do because the effect of that pills was pretty strong.

Basically, not much I can do each time I switch on my computer in the last few days. I’ve got no mood to write anything and that’s why I try my luck with Linkpost and Sponsoredreviews. Why?

That’s a good question.
Actually, Linkpost and Sponsoredreviews can give us a choice to put a price for our review service. We also have a few days to complete the review and this can give us an extra time to do other things. For me, I will use that the extra time for my own rest time. Untill I fully recovered, I hope I can get more approval assignment request along that period. One more thing, Linkpost and Sponsoredreviews can give me average $35.00 to $50.00 per review. Blogsvertise also good but it has the maximum of $10.00. Anyway, I still reserved few assignments from them. But, I’m not take many opportunities at Payperpost marketplace. I feel tired to write all the qualified opportunity. Just have mood to submit 2 assignment only. However, I’m very happy to see many opportunities comes in.

So this afternoon, I am so surprised to read my emails. I’ve got many Sponsoredreviews and Linkpost request to do. What make me more surprise is I just “mark up” my Linkpost value and that’s mean more money per review for my. Praise be to God because I still can earn few hundreds more eventhought I’m “on leave”. So if you think you will get busy or you don’t have much time to do your blogging job, make sure you always check your Blogsvertise, Linkpost and Sponsoredreviews account.

If you look at my previous post, you will notice that there is a picture of 2 men standing proudly. If you think that the picture is my picture, you are wrong. That is totally not me!

Maybe some of you feel a little bit of confuse about that post. How come this blog can have an entry about attorney?
Actually, that is a sponsored post from Linkpost-Linkworth. At first, I’m also confuse about this. Why the advertiser choose this blog for their services?

So after I checked my blog’s setting at my Linkworth account, then only I know why they interested with this blog. Hah…hah…hah….I still not make a proper setting for this blog’s category. No wonder I got this attorney assignment. See…. you still can make money with Linkworth eventhough you’re doing a mistake!

Anyway, if you think that Payperpost makes your life suffer, why not you sign up with Linkworth?
It’s worth to sign up with Linkworth. The concept is simple. You sign up, put your blogs in the marketplace and share the earning. Linkworth will give you an option. There is a 50/50 and 70/30 earnings share. You know what, I never put any hope from Linkworth at first but when I received more assignment for another blog of mine, I don’t want to look back anymore. More money to come…

As for last moth, I managed to earn around $43.00 dollar. Not bad for 1 blog. So this month, I already submitted all my blogs (add 6 blogs more) and let’s see how it goes. This is a screenshot of my earnings with Linkworth in case you don’t believe it..

What are you waiting for?

Sign up now and let me help you to choose either you want to take a 50/50 share or 70/30.

“Don’t drink and drive….”
Everybody knows that because this is one of the famous warning for all the drivers. Is it true that this is just only a warning but if there’s any accident happened because or your DWI, people will always blame you and in this case, you have to do something to help yourself.

Just came back from Costa’s blog. After I read his latest post, I think I want to share my own about that topic here. Maybe it’s not as what you think (based on the title) , but it just gave me some idea to discuss more about blogging and traffic.

Actually, Costa just said the truth facts about a blog and blogging (you have to read the post first, then only you will understand what I’m gonna say in this post). The question is how serious we are with our blogging job? Is it something that we really aim for? Or is it something that we don’t know how it gonna be in the future? Or perhaps, this is our un-real life?

As a Malaysian, this is a subjective topic that need a further explanation because most of us still do not know what is blogger. Even my neighbours also still said that I’m a jobless. But the fact is there’s thousand of bloggers out there that happy making money just from their blog. Bear in mind, there’s thousand of blogs is borned everyday.

Some of the blog is like a punch card where they just punch in and out just to show to their Boss (readers) that they came to work that day by making “whatever” entry. But some of the blog really good “kaw kaw punya” like goreng pisang panas because it has all the spicy and hot stuff as part of their ingredients like Bob’s blog. Bob is now become one of the most famous blogger that have thousand of fans at Weblogtoolscollection just because of his expertise and knowledge in building Wordpress template. Seriously, I am proud to him as a Malaysian.

So how serious are we in blogosphere like what Costa’s said?

Costa, your post really hit me. It’s a good post indeed because since I turned myself to a full-time blogger since April 2007, I think my effort was too little than it should be. You just open my eyes and from now onwards, I will monetize myself and my blogging job so that I will keep survive as a full-time blogger like Liewcf. Liew, your latest post just make me realised how important for me to serious in blogging. In fact, Jenny’s old post about Should You Blog If Your English Sucks? also is good for a person like me.

So my conclusion is, maintaining a successful blog can be key to getting traffic to our blog, provided it is updated frequently and uses quality information to attract visitors. This included our own experience from the day first we started our blogging job. So are you ready to get more serious for your blogging job?

It’s noon already and I still reading my emails. I don’t know why those spammer still keep spam thru my Contact Form. I really hate that. By the way, I have one email that caught my attention. I don’t know her actually but she insist me to teach her how to earn more money from Google Adsense. Sorry to say lady, I can’t teach you because I’m still not qualified for that. All I can do is jusy share my experience on this.

Frankly, she has bought many e-books about how to make money from adsense but at the end of the day, nothing she got. She can’t earn the money as the e-books said. Man…. I feel so pity about her because she forgot to do the basic thing or maybe we also forgot to do the basic thing that is READING.

Basically, many of adsense publisher always skip the step that have been provided by Google. They always feel that adsense is a kind of magic from Google and once they put the adsense code in their site, they will got the money. For me, if you think adsense is like that, then it’s a MYTH! Adsense need CLICKS, and every click is come from our visitors. When we talk about visitor, that’s mean traffic.

So far, what is our efforts to create more traffic to our site?
Don’t mind to share?

Me myself also still in the learning curve. All I can say, I already tired to read all the tips, e-book or even an article about “how to make money from adsense” because this kind of crap is a copy and paste contents that already existed since few years ago. It’s a bullshit because those crap e-book will make your life more suffer than before.

So why you should worry about your adsense?

Google not pay you to worry about them. All you have to worry is how to get more traffic to your site. Either you want to create a bullshit content or an unique content, it’s depend on you. As long as you can create more traffic or perhaps, more returning visitors… that’s the target that you should aim. Just be yourself and don’t lie by making a cheap publisity.

Me myself also still need a big effort to attract more readers. If every 100 visitors can give me about USD5.00 dollar per day, that’s mean I have to do something to increase my traffic to reach my target USD50.00 per day. Remember, don’t ever worry about your adsense, just give your concentration and priority to your content and traffic.

After I published my entry about “Is it hard to earn RM4500.00 from your blogs?“, there’s one blogger from Malaysia has emailed me regarding paid to blog programmes that I have joined. He really want to know which one of those programmes that really good for Malaysian blogger.

Well, that’s sound very particular for me because it’s too common to be answered. I don’t even know what kind of blog that he run and what type of content that he had for his blog. I want to help him but all I can say, he need to read more about paid to blog programme in this blog because there’s a big different between one programme compared to the rest.

So in order to answer his question, I will start with Smorty programme. I know that many of Malaysian bloggers still not know about Smorty.com. The concept of Smorty.com is quiet similar like others paid to blog programme. Nothing more, nothing less. Bloggers get paid on a weekly basis and posts should be a minimum of 150 words. About “Smorty”, personally I like the dashboard because it is not confused me to look for the opps (assignment/opportunity).

What are some of the requirements to be an approved blogger?
There are over 25 criteria for each blog to be approved, however here are a few examples:

* Your blog must be indexed by Google and Yahoo
* Your blog must be older than 3 months
* Your blog must not contain any violent, hate related or adult content
* Your blog must be active and have a history of minimum average 2 new posts per week
* The blog must not have duplicate posts or excessive duplicate content

For your information, this is a programme where there is no segmentation terms like what you have in your Payperpost account. So wherever you are, you are FREE to sign up and submit your blogs for approval. Each blog that submit will be appraise by the Smorty’s team and once it done, you will know how much they will pay you. What I mean is each post will bring you a minimum of US$6 and the Pagerank of your blog along with a high Smorty smart score determines whether you receive higher paid ad campaigns, bringing you up to even USD100 per post.

What?
USD100 per post?
Yup, this is true. That’s why you can see some of our Malaysian bloggers can earned many,many, many thousands every month. They will not tell you how much they will get for each post that they have submitted.

Smorty’s also has a unique blogger ranking system. There are two factors affecting your income:

a) Firstly, if you have a higher Google Page Rank you will be offered higher paying campaigns. I guess you know about pagerank and how it works.

b) Secondly, Smorty’s calculates it’s own smart score system, it’s created by combining the following factors:
1) Googles PageRank.
2) Alexa Rankings.
3) Return rate of given tasks.
4) Approval/Decline ratio of completed tasks and.
5) Number of completed tasks.

If you have a higher Smorty score, you are more likely to receive more campaign offers and more higher priced campaigns. You can earn up to even $100 per article. That’s why I never reject any campaign from Smorty so far because I don’t want my “rate” going down.

For me, the best part with Smorty is I can have as many blogs as you can manage. The sky is the limit. The more blogs I have, the more opinion posts I can write and the more money I make!

Perhaps, this simple explanation will help you on how to make money with Smorty. Simply said, don’t waste your time by playing games 24 hours a day. Make some money for your pocket. Who knows, you can earn for 5 figures every month in the future. All Smorty’s link in this post is my affiliate link. If you think this post can give a big benefit for you, you may sign up under me to show your support. You support me, and I will do the same thing in my next post.

This is something that I have never expected from my blogging job. From the first day I started my job as a blogger, I never expect I can reach this kind of amount because this is my ex-boss monthly salary. I still remember how he cursed me with his own way: “what the FUCK are you’re doing as a young people if you can’t earn that kind of amount? Go find some drug dealer lah and be their dog!? “Shit!” That’s what I said to myself because he is more younger than me.

But things getting better now because I’ve made a right decision to be a full time blogger. Eventhough my parent and my siblings not recommend me to quit my former job, but I have a confidence to makemoney from this job and I’m willing to take a risk to be a full time blogger.

Why?
Because I have made my own testimonial on myself. 2 months before I quit my job, I have earned more than RM500 just from 1 blog. Then I think maybe it will be great if I can make money from all my blogs. So what I did, I try to submit another blogs of mine and guess what? I’ve managed to earned more than RM2000.00 for that month.

Last month is the best month for me because I managed to earn more that RM4500.00 from ALL my blogs. Yup, I already submit all my blogs for money making programmes (look at My Money Sense section at my right sidebar) and this is what I’ve got.

Now I can FUCK back my ex-boss and I really want to say this:
“What the FUCk you’re doing here boss?
Monitor all your staff..?
Hey boss, look at me. I just stay at home and making money freely without any stress and NO staff to monitor you know.. some more, I can do whatever I want without any phone call!
Opsss boss, I also know that sometimes you also even miss your lunch! So now who is the boss, you or your staff???!!!!!!”

And I really want to show him my previous figure from my Paypal account. This is all the the transactions where I sell my Paypal to my broker.

What am I doing as a full time blogger actually?
Hah…hah… hah… if you want to ask me that kind of question, that’s mean you have to read the my entries in this blog. All I can say, my job is quite same like 5xmom.com, my friend Doris, Samm, Menj, Papajoneh and many bloggers that you always see in Petalingstreet.org. But if you really want to know how you can make money from your home, here are some facts that maybe will help you:

1. You can make money from your blog if your blog got a huge traffic. Adsense will be great for this kind of blog.
2. You have many blogs and a good AVERAGE pagerank (3 and 4) but you don’t have a good traffic, paid to blog programmes really can give you money for this kind of blogs.
3. You have a powerful niche content, traffic and SEO, text link ads definitely will make your PAYPAL look beauty every month.
4. If your blog got no pagerank, not so good traffic .. you still can earn online money from paid to blog programme.
5. You have a very good PR skills (not pagerank, it’s a “public relation”) and a very good consult on a certain knowledge, the affiliate programme is the right choice for you.
6. You have blogs, you still on your current job, you don’t want to quit from your daily job, you just blog whenever you have a time, you want to make your blogging job as your hobby, but you still want to make money from your blogs, just do the paid to blog programmes because it’s really paying… that’s it!!!!

Anyway, I am so satisfied with my blogging job right now. Praise to God because this is a rezeki HALAL. You also can be like me and others blogger in this world. All you need is your blogs, your time and your MINAT. Remember, blogging is not about money, it’s a lifestyle. If you don’t believe with my earnings, go find and calculate my paid posts, text link ads, affiliates and all My Money Sense in my blog network.

Now, is it hard to earn RM4500 from your blogs?
The answer is never look down on yourself. Go and grab all opportunities in front of you.

This is something good to share. As we know, many of us have our own Mybloglog account but some of us now don’t need it anymore. If you still have the Myblogblog tool on your site, congratulations because you are a generous blogger. Yup, you are a generous blogger because you are helping other bloggers by giving them more traffic. Hey, I’m not say some of you not generous ehhh… I just want to give a credit to the blogger who still got Myblogblog tool in their site.

1. How to get a maximum traffic to your blog by using Myblogblog?

Frankly, Myblogblog is a good platform to get a traffic rather than give a comment to other’s people site. To get a maximum exposure from Myblogblog, you must put your own real picture as your avatar in your Myblogblog account. If you want to attract more visitors, you can try to highlight your avatar by put some “good impact”. What I’m trying to say is make your avatar more attractive. Don’t use a hanky panky logo or weird picture or fancy name. Trust me, they don’t want to know you thru your ‘hamster” avatar. I had tried many pictures for my avatar before but this “blue” avatar really worth for me because clearly, it can attract more “cursor” to click on it.

2. How to make your face invisible from Myblogblog account.
(well, actually it’s not like what you read. it is how to visit other’s blog without telling anybody that you’re there…)

Tadaaaa… this is something that you really want to know right?
For those who had kicked out your Myblogblog tool from your site, you don’t need to do it anymore. Copy back your Myblogblog code and paste it on your sidebar or where it should be. I know many of us “afraid” to see our own face in other’s people site because it’s like a peek here, peek there. For those content theft, you also don’t use your Myblogblog avatar right? You “afraid” if the owner of the blog see your post. I wish this post will not be read by you!

Another reason is of course about EGO. Ohhh… come on, don’t be like that because last time, I’ve seen Johnchow’s face in my blog! (beware of scam avatar).

So, how to make your face invisible from Myblogblog account?
If you’re really want to know how to do it, make sure you put your email in the comment box because the first 30 comments will get the tips FREE via their email. Hurry!

Sorry, I prefer to give this tip via email because it’s more safe (from the content theft)

Have you ever visit a blog that have a very damn powerful description like “the only blog that teach you how make money online’ or “helping other bloggers become pro” or “the best blog on how to make your blog success!”?

That’s what I’ve found and I’m not sure why there’s many blog like this lately. Frankly, I don’t believe to this kind of blog because all the contents from this blog are really irritating and annoying. By telling us about on “how to…”, “the best way…”, “5 steps…”, “successfull way to… ” and that kind of craps, certainly will make a visitor like me curse them back!

Hey, you just start you blog for a three months and still don’t have any pagerank, no Alexa Rank, no killer content, no comments, no here… no there… no people know your blog, now you want to teach other people how to be a problogger? Wake up man! Don’t try to make a publicity in front of us and don’t try to show off. We know that you’re not that good.

I’m not trying to be a hero but why must you do that?
Just be yourself and tell the world who you are. If you think that you need a big exposure, just be honest to your readers and no need to lie. I think it will be good if you just “straight to the point”. Putting a description like “A journal about stupid blogger from ………” is not a bad choice because people will know that you are willing to learn on the spot. After that, if you want to share all your daily experiences in your blog, that will be more great and this is the right way how you can attract more visitors to your blog.

Don’t just use the damn good powerful description but the content is sucks!

I think many of us always facing this kind of situation. When this happened, there is one “phenomenon” that most of us don’t like. Yup, we will see our own face in other’s blog via Myblogblog right? We will visit other’s blog to read their posts or maybe we will have a little peek here and a little peek there. Yeah, this is true and that’s why we can see many bloggers has kicked out their Myblogblog tool from their site.

Allright, let’s get back to the main topic. How do you find an idea to post an entry without nothing story to tell? If you have it, why not you share it here because I’m willing to share my tips too. This is my personal tips and normally, I will practise all these tips each time when I am too tired or busy with my daily job.

1) I will go to the bookshop.

I will buy a few magazines that’s related with internet and blogging stuff. There’s many magazines that you can found lately but I will not list them here because this is not a sponsored post….hah…hah….hah…\0/. For your information, reading a magazine is a good way to find an idea for your next entry. I noticed that many of my friends (bloggers) now are “very lazy” to read magazine because they think internet is where they can found all the info that they need. Again, this is wrong because magazines can provides you many official reports about what happenings around us, but blog is not. In fact, reading a magazines is more relevant with my current job. After that, I have a lot of story to post in my blogs.

2) I like to compile all the latest info that I’ve got.

Yup, I’ve got it from the forum that I have joined. Maybe some of you have your own favorite forums and I also know many of you will read all of it. But for me, I only concentrate with my 2 favorite forums that is Digitalpoint and V7N. After I’ve got my own favorite topic that I want, then only I will post it in my blogs. But in order to pick which one is the best, I need to ask myself so that it will give a benefit to my readers like this blogging job post.

3) I will quote any hot topic from my favorite blogs.

The good example is 5xmom’s blog. Even I never met him personally, but I like to read her posts because she is my idol. Like in her latest post, I will make special entry about this phenomenon because it really caught my attention. One more thing that I’d like to tell you here is I never subscribe to any of my favorite blogs. Why?
Because I said so…. (I prefer to visit their blogs daily and “manually”)

So how do you find an idea for your next entry?
Don’t mind to share?
