God's Provision

myles@emotera.com (emotera) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 02:38:00 +0000

How are you dear readers? I hope you're in good situation. For those of you who were affected by typhoon Ondoy – I want to tell you that God has a purpose. We might not be able to grasp the reason behind your situation now but He is in control. You just need to put 100% of your trust to Him- without question asked. Be thankful that you are still breathing and that there is still a hope for a brighter future in stored for you if you will not get tired of trusting Him.

Anyway, this is it. God again gave me an opportunity to think it over AGAIN. Remember, I wrote on my previous post that I wont continue with my business anymore? Again an offer presented itself to us. The owner of the targeted biz location have agreed to lower down the rent to P3000/month. She also agreed on letting us pay one month deposit and one month advance as opposed to the previous agreement of one month deposit / two months advance. She also said she would put a mini “lababo” and would repaint the store. It's indeed very convenient location for us as we will just cook the menu @ home and my hubby would just bring it to the store to sell. It would save us a lot of money because we wont have to buy those big kalderos anymore as we already have all the necessary cookwares here at home. I'm still thinking about it though. I think I would ask one last request... if the owner would cut P500 off the rent – I would definitely give it a shot. One last sign Lord and I would go for it. I hope God would lead me to the right path. My hubby already want to have a business of his own and is now soo bored at home and wants something to do. I know having a food business would definitely turn his life around. Meanwhile, here’s the place well gonna rent if our plans would push through. It's not a big store, it's just like a little kiosk where we could display our food. What dya think?

this is the front view, we'll gonna rent the small kiosk beside the internet shop

the side view, it's so small but enough for food display

God bless our plans. Amen.

A Change Of Plan

myles@emotera.com (emotera) — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 05:31:00 +0000

Hi everyone, remember I told you on my earlier posts that I would soon be putting up a small canteen in front of my fathers house? Well, I and my hubby decided to change plans. It's just so happen that just recently, we've found out that a 24 hour food kiosk was built just in front of our target location. I've been fighting for this business for so long now and I guess having this kinds of obstacles along the way is God's way of saying..."I have different plans for you my Child". At first...I don't know how to react. It seems like I've been experiencing failures one after another. I can't understand what He want's me to do as of this moment...things are really getting from bad to worse. Blog review offers are getting scarce, I can't handle our finances well, I don't have my savings anymore...I am trying to be positive but sometimes I guess it's ok to vent out once in a while and share how you feel about things that are negatively affecting your moods. I am really pissed right now. I'm sorry...I guess I just need to let my readers know what's really going on. I guess it's not a mortal sin to admit you fail even if you happen to be an author of a positive money making blog...But I know one thing is for sure...It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong - than to be always right by having no ideas at all. Till next post peeps and I hope in my next venture...you'll hear a success story...

10 Ways to Grow Your Homebased Business

myles@emotera.com (emotera) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 05:31:00 +0000

A thriving one- or two-person service business with no inventory, rent or employees can seem like an easy way to make money at first, but when the phone starts ringing off the hook and customers keep coming back for more, homebased business owners who fail to plan often fall victim to their own success. Either they burn out trying to juggle everything themselves or they spend so much time and money hiring people to help them that their profits go down the drain.
Fortunately, there are some ways to take your homebased business to new heights without sacrificing your business’s profitability or losing your peace of mind. Follow these 10 steps to grow your home based business into the personal and professional success it was meant to be:

1. Focus on a single product or service, and then market it, sell it, promote it, do everything you can to increase sales of that one product or service. While it’s tempting to swing for the fences and try to be all things to all people, it’s often less risky and more profitable to pick a product or two that you can execute really well and just try to get on base.

2. Expand your product line to offer complementary products or services. Once you’ve hit on a product or service that customers really like, don’t miss the opportunity to bring out related items to diversify your product line. Not only does that give your customers a wider selection, but it also makes your products more appealing to retailers who typically like to stock a line of products as opposed to a single item.

3. Find ways to increase sales to your existing customers. It’s a lot cheaper than finding new ones. Even if you can’t expand your product line, you can boost revenues by selling more of your existing product or service to the clients you already have. One easy way to do this is through volume discounts. Especially if your products cost little to produce, offering your customers the chance to buy, say, two T-shirts for the price of one lets you ring up additional sales without sacrificing much profit. Another common practice is to reward loyal customers by giving them a punch card that entitles them to a free product or service for every 10 items they buy. This technique is common at hair salons, car washes and arts-and-crafts stores, but homebased businesses can use it, too.

4. Hire someone to help you out. An employee, a freelancer, an intern, an independent contractor, even your kids. Not only does this free up cash flow by adjusting your expenses to the level of work you bring in, but it also enables you to cultivate a large network of talented people you probably couldn’t afford to hire full time.

5. Create a Web site to advertise your company or sell products online. Thanks to the Internet, it’s no longer necessary to open a store to reach retail customers. For marketers of specialty products like rare books, collectibles and gourmet foods, a Web-based boutique lets you reach millions of shoppers around the world without paying for rent, utilities or garbage collection.

6. Join forces with another business to promote your company. Partnering with a company in a related industry is one of the cheapest and easiest forms of marketing that you can employ. If you make spa products, for example, you may be able to convince a local health club to carry them in its store by offering a discount to its members. Likewise, you can send a free, one-day health club pass to anybody who buys your lotions and scrubs.

7. Target other markets. If you sell to teens, start marketing to college students. If you sell to working moms, maybe your product will work for stay-at-home moms with a few modifications. Another strategy is to take a retail-oriented product or service and sell it wholesale. For example, a homebased catering business that specializes in cakes, pies and other tasty desserts can contact local bakeries to sell its goods on a wholesale basis. While the price you get from the bakeries will be lower (because the bakeries need to mark it up to their customers to make a profit), you’ll sell more products and generate consistent cash flow that you can bank on.

8. Find new and different ways to market your business through e-mail newsletters or by doing guest-speaking gigs or by teaching a class. Marketing your homebased business doesn’t need to involve spending big money on newspaper ads, Yellow Pages listings, or TV or radio spots. Grassroots marketing techniques cost far less and are often much more effective. Most chambers of commerce and community groups are more than happy to provide a forum to a local business owner who’s willing to share his expertise at no charge. Sending out a weekly newsletter is also a great way to get your name out in front of new and potential clients. Thanks to the Internet, you can send out your newsletter via e-mail using online templates and automated delivery systems

9. Expand to another location. That could mean renting “virtual” office space in a business center or by sharing office space with another growing business.

10. Think about turning your business into a franchise or business opportunity. While most homebased businesses remain small, yours may have the potential to hit the big time through franchising, licensing or wholesale distribution. The key question to ask yourself is if your business can be converted into a business format that somebody else could operate (a franchise) or if you have a standardized product or service that someone could resell multiple times (a business opportunity). While you may think that expanding your business requires raising capital, hiring employees, buying equipment and leasing office or warehouse space, it’s often more profitable and less risky to license your product to a big corporation with manufacturing capabilities and an existing sales force to do the work for you.

Final Plan for Our Biz

myles@emotera.com (emotera) — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 06:32:00 +0000

Just last Sunday, Papa came here to get his "payday allowance" from me, its been a tradition that every time I got my paycheck, Papa would personally get his money from me and show me receipts of what medicines he bought for pain relief. He's been complaining about arthritis and back pain most of the time so I, being the good daughter that I am makes sure that he does have all the arthritis pain relief and back pain relief that he needs. I hope I was able to at least help him lessen the pain he is experiencing. Anyways, we had lunch together and I've learned that someone had already put up a small canteen in front of the soon to be "jomis food haus" business that were planning for almost two months now. I really don't find it a "bad news" at all - I think it's more of a "blessing in disguise" because it gave me an idea on what business to really focus on. I just asked my father about renting half of the store space so that he could still use the other half for his sari sari store. In that way, he could still have some source of income. We just thought of putting up a burger and a barbeque kiosk. I've learned from Papa that the used to be "burger stand" located near his place have already closed down and I feel that it is a clear sign that I would need to get that kind of business. My tita would be our assistant and would take over the operations of the business from 3 pm onwards as my hubby will only be available from 9am to 3 pm so he could still get his call center training course at night. I am really so excited to start this business...I feel that this is the start of a wonderful business career that I've been longing to have since I was a child. I hope God would bless my plans and this business venture of ours. I also want to help my hubby revive back his faith to himself, the faith that has been shattered since he lost his job because of me. I promise I would support him this time and I would make sure he makes all the decisions. He would be the manager of the business and I would just be the financier..hehe. Wish me goodluck guys and would update you what happened to our biz on our next posts.

JOMI'S FOOD HAUS

myles@emotera.com (emotera) — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 20:48:00 +0000

This is really is it! Hahaha! We'll finally open another business - this time is has something to do with food! I've always been wanted to be a bussiness woman. I want to have a business that I could say "mine" and Jomi's would definitely make my wish come true. I've been planning about this venture for almost two months now and still - I am having a hard time figuring out how a normal operations would be. The tentative opening date would be on August 18,2009. I know and I pray that this business would be a breakthrough in our lives, I hope I can help many people and I that I may Glorify God through this. Amen.

Finding the Best Nursing Home

myles@emotera.com (emotera) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 03:27:00 +0000

If you are looking for a nursing home that provides the most excellent elderly care for your loved ones...you must consider different factors to make sure that your elderly loved ones would be comfortable in his/her new home. The main reason why facilities such as nursing home are created is because there are a lot of elderly people who needs special care and attention in which some families cannot afford to give due to various reasons..and since most nursing facilities provides round the clock presence by registered nurses...it would be more beneficial for the elders to just go to these nursing homes.

To find a nursing home that would fit into your elders needs... you should check the nursing home services that they provides. Most provides basic needs such as meals, recreational and social opportunities, and transportation, some also provides Medical services, Nursing and personal care, and even Financial management service.

Getting the services of a nursing home for your elders doesnt mean you are leaving them all alone by themselves. If we cant provide them with ample time and care according to their needs we must learn to ask others for help. Just dont forget to always make them feel loved and appreciated and that we will always be with them in every step of the way. Through that, our elders will be able to still enjoy life even in their latter years...

Mange Your Finances Now!

myles@emotera.com (emotera) — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 23:59:00 +0000

I know there comes a time in a consumer’s life that you tend to overspend…especially on special occasions such as Christmas time, New Year and seasons like summer where swimsuits and swimwear are usually sold in discounted price as most shops sell their products almost half the price during those times – who would not want to buy those items? But after splurging on this those items, many tends to overlook the expenses and left with hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars in credit card debts with no savings! (sounds familiar?sigh)…. Then of course with such situation…you will not be able to pay on time since you don’t have enough money and boom! - you are suddenly left with a bad credit history because of those credit card transactions! It feels like it’s the end of your happy shopping spree and you feel like you will never again be able to purchase such expensive stuff without saving for about a year. You thought that because of your bad credit standing, no other credit card company would accept your application because of your previous credit history…well worry no more – all you need to have is a little planning, someone who can help you solve you financial problem and a tough decision to improve your finances.

There are a lot of companies who offers their service to help you consolidate debt. This is like having a fresh start. It's like collating all your credit card debt - getting a loan to pay all of these debts so that you'll just gonna pay loan altogether. You will be given an option on how much you are willing to pay for the "bigger loan" and how long you intend to pay for it. It is called debt consolidation. In this way, you will only focus on paying one debt instead of thinking multiple credit card debts. Through this, you will have a chance to restore your positive credit rating and manage your financial status. Past financial mistakes does’nt mean a future with financial turmoil, check your options and make a fresh start!

WORKING FROM HOME

myles@emotera.com (emotera) — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 02:47:00 +0000

I've always wanted to be a work at home professional. Having the liberty of working at my own phase, at my own time. Not worrying about being late at the office and most importantly - no boss who would scold me every time I was'nt able to cope up with the requirements of the job. I would be able to earn while doing things I love to do. I know everybody wants to have that kind of life. Having the luxury of time while earning and doing things you love to do. Just thinking of the possibilities of being in that state makes me wanna work harder to achieve it. You cannot just jump into being a stay at home professional without knowing the pro's and con's of being one. Working from home is not that easy! Here are some of the pro's and con's of working at home:

Pros:

1. Comfortable Location

Daily commuting from home to office and vice versa is cumbersome and expensive for some people. If there is space enough in ones house to make an office space to maintain some amount of privacy then there is nothing better than that. This way you can share a lot of time with your family which is usually not possible with a regular 12 hour office job.

2. Flexibility

You can figure out your own working hours and do not have to follow a strict nine-to-five schedule. You can take breaks whenever you want and continue working till you are satisfied. There is extreme freedom as far as dress code is concerned. You can be as comfortable as possible and be your own boss.

3. Savings

You can cut down on your fuel expenses and save money by working at home. Car maintenance charges are also reduced as a result. If you are working for a private company from home they will also furnish the equipments required for your work and no question of expenditure on your part.

4. Other Reasons

There are people who experience less stress working from home. They can control and concentrate on their work without the interference of colleagues and the boss. Health problems can also be solved by working at home.

Cons:

1. Isolation from social life - If you are working at home you are dissociated from the rest of your coworkers. Working alone can at times be very boring and time consuming. You might not be able to solve many work problems without helping hands. The lack of social interaction can lead to depression and other psychological problems which would hamper your work.

2. Limited Options - You cannot work if your job does not permit you to do so. For instance, if you are involved in the field of public relations, communication with people is indispensable for you. You cannot choose to work from your home in such a situation.

3. Equipment Expenditure - If your office does not provide you the equipments required for your work at home, it can increase your expenses. This can be problematic for people who do not have enough savings to incur this cost. You need a proper space in your house to set up an office because a minimum privacy is required for work. If that is not available it is even more expensive to set up.

4. No regular Income - If your work is project based then you might not receive monthly pay checks. Your financial condition has to be extremely well to maintain your finances in such a scenario. Unlike if you are working for a certain company, you are uncertain of when youll gonna receive your hard earned money. Bank failures, late check delivery and even the slightest change in weather could potentially get in the way of getting your income.

5. Fraud - You might not be trusted completely by your clients since you are working from home. Your sincererity might be under surveillance. This would hamper your professional image to your clients.

6. Distractions - If you have children they can be the cause of distractions during your working hours. Visitors can also disturb you while you work. You cannot avoid such sources of disturbance.

7. Discipline - You need a great deal of self discipline, energy, dedication and financial stability for this type of endeavor to be successful.

So now that you've learned the advantages and disadvantages of working from home, you must balance your options. Make sure that you don't put 100% of everything in one business. You might want to invest the other part of your money to mutual funds, bonds and other business opportunities as well. Godspeed!

A NEW BUSINESS IDEA

myles@emotera.com (emotera) — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 01:44:00 +0000

Good day everyone!

As I mentioned on my previous post, I would give you some ideas on how to earn extra not just through the net but also some other legitimate "rakets" that we could take just to have an additional source of income. Well, I would like to share with you a new business venture that I together with my partner in life, Jojo - would take just to have another source of income. I would like to get a house of our own next year and having a business like this would definitely help pay the monthly amortization. Anyways, I just recently thought of putting up a small eatery in our previous store space in Sta. Mesa Manila. Yup, we would be back in our former store space which is currently being managed by my father. Well, my father decided to just give back to me all the things I left him for the store because he can't stay the whole day in the store anymore and is also having a hard time managing it. So, I just decided to come back and just use the space to put up a small food house. The original plan was to make a tapsilugan kiosk but I changed my mind as we are still not familiar in the ins and outs of the food business. We might need to start small instead, so I just decided to put up a small eatery. The eatery would sell agahan, tanghalian and hapunan and merienda as well. Agahan would start as early as 5 am till 8 am and would comprise of Filipino favorites such as longsilog, tapsilog, tocilog, hotsilog, sopas, champorado, pancit etc. Lunch would be available as early as 10 am til 2 pm which would normally comprise of 2 fried foods, a veggie and 2 meat viands. I would also open a bbq stall which would be open as early as 12 nn as well which would serve mostly grilled liempo and fish. Merienda would start at 2 pm to 6 pm which would include pancit, banana que, turon, tukneneng, siomai, squidball etc. I would also open a sandwich stall that would serve hotdog, ham, chicken, egg sandwiches. Lastly, dinner will be served at 6 pm till 10 pm - which would comprise of pork bbq's, a meat dish, a fish dish and a veggie dish. Though it's just a small space, I know the preparation would be tough. I am willing to shell out P20,000 for the starting capital plus P10,000 for operational expenses. We would need to hire 3 people to help us Jojo with the operations. We would hire papa to be our cook, Tita - my stepmom to manage the night shift operations and one assistant who would take care of the dishes and run errands for us. We would be giving then a hundred peso a day for that which means I would need to have a profit of more that P300/day so we could continue with the business. We'll gonna rent the store space for P1500/month and Jojo's transpo would cost him around a hundred per day. Well, by faith I know it would be feasible. By faith I know we'll gonna hit the P1000/day profit. Wish us luck!

NEW BLOG EARNER

myles@emotera.com (emotera) — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 03:39:00 +0000

Do you know that I almost lost my hope in earning money online and is on the brink of giving up this blog? This feeling of discouragement started when I lost my PR on my main blog and started getting fewer reviews opps. It's because the main THEME of this site is to show everyone how to earn money through blogging - and I felt, I failed. Well, I still get some review opps but my income is not as high as what I used to get last year. I only get around 4-5 thousand pesos monthly which I feel is just okey but still fall short of my target monthly blogging income. But it's a good thing that I came into realization that this is the perfect time to blog about the ups and downs of a blogger's life. It's not always sunny day and we should always stand to our feet quickly whenever we fall...as one noble man said " ONE WHO FEARS FAILURE LIMITS HIS ACTIVITIES. FAILURE IS THE ONLY OPPORTUNITY TO MORE INTELLIGENTLY BEGIN AGAIN...". And so here I am...taking my chances again and creating 7 more exciting blogs and I hope this time - there would be nowhere to go with my online venture but upward. Amen!

Ive learned so many things about the do's and dont's of writing a niche blog, how to get a high PR and how to maintain it. BALANCE is the key word. I would also show you some articles on how to get extra income, where to get part time jobs and recent job openings especially in the call center industry. Everything about earning and money - BLOGEARNER would have it all.

Hopefully I can make this blog as user friendly as possible as I inted to reach out to Filipino people who wants to earn extra to support their family. I would like to help young people who wasnt able to finish their studies because of poverty, people who lost their jobs, and people who wants to be a stay at home professionals, like me.

Sirs and Mams - I would liek to present to you a new and improved....

Comments and Questions are always welcome!

A Realization

myles@emotera.com (emotera) — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 08:25:00 +0000

Opportunity knocks only once - and if priviledged to have one...never let it fly away. I knew that fully well - only after I missed the chance. I learned about earning money through blogging from my former officemate Joedel and at first...I really earned a lot. Maybe because I already have a PR3 blog at that time before I've learned that I could monetize from my blogs. But things changed when I lost my PR - opportunities became fewer to the point that I am only getting one opp for the whole week. I lost hope...I became lenient and really lost my hope of getting more opps which prompts me to just write whenever needed especially if I won a bid over an opps. I've learned that when things get worse - that's the time you work double time.

Now I'm back. I want to be a better blogger or should I say a better person. I am now willing to get back all the things I've lost. I will work extra hard this time and my goal is to save for my future business venture through my online earnings... I would like to retire within the next three years and I need to have enough savings to start a new life. I promise myself I would work extra hard this time... I wont wait until tomorrow for things I could do today. I hope you could walk with me through this new journey and I hope I could give you better ideas on how to earn money online!

Important Tips and Tricks To Avoid Page Rank Drop

myles@emotera.com (emotera) — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 17:59:00 +0000

Checking on the web about the best way to revive back my page ranks as 3 of my blogs does'nt have any as of the moment. Those are my blogs that have their own domain and has been receiving a lot of review offers before but are now stagnant. Hope the following tips helps would help not only me but hundreds of bloggers who lost their PRs because of reviewing products and services on the net and those who are newbies to the blogging world.

1. Do not become discouraged.
2. Check your PR again with another PR checker. Some online PR Checkers are not accurate.
3. Do your research, and try to figure out the cause of your PR drop.
4. Improving on your site, will increase traffic and PR.
5. Reevaluate and consider a different approach

Some tips to gain pagerank again

* Diversify your traffic. Not only from Blogwalking, try to gain traffic from forum, community or maybe email.

* Provide quality information and free products or services that get ‘good word of mouth’ recommendations from your visitors. Content will always be king.

* Be extremely careful of any out-going links from your site. Don’t link to bad neighborhoods (link farms, banned sites, etc.) Google will penalize you for bad links so always check the PageRank of the sites you’re linking to from your site.

* Onsite SEO factors does have an influence on rankings — make sure your site is dressed to kill. Pay attention to keyword density, title descriptions, meta tags, alt tags and interior linking structure. If you can, optimize your site for all three major search engines: MSN, Yahoo and Google. But don’t stop there, also submit your site to the countless other smaller search engines on the web. It’s the old adage, don’t put all your eggs into the ever-changing Google basket or you’re probably turn your site and yourself into one desperate basket case.

* Keyword rich articles are some of the best examples of this method, placing them on high PR sites will filter Google traffic through these articles onto your site. It will also warm up these visitors before they reach your site and they will be more receptive to any of your site’s offering; never underestimate the power of the Pre-sell. Build enough of these links and a sudden drop in your own Google PR ranking won’t drastically affect your bottom line or the amount of quality traffic you are receiving.

UPs and DOWNs in a BLOGGERS LIFE

myles@emotera.com (emotera) — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 17:30:00 +0000

Good day everyone! Sorry if I was'nt able to post anything for almost 3 weeks now. It's just that there comes a time in a blogger's life that he or she becomes unmotivated. Yeah, I've been through a tough time lately. It's nothing personal but it concerns my money making experiments. Currently, I am managing a total of 4 blogs... all of those have their own .COM domains, things are really working fine but since "the master" slapped my PR and left me with one PR1 blog domain...I started questioning and asked myself if I would continue this money making experiment of mine. I can't see the logic why "the master" punishes paid to post blog as it's just a kind of advertisement for all and I don't understand why paid to post site would only give out opportunities to those high PR blogs. I believe they do have their own explanations for that, I'm kind'a frustrated on how things are going lately. I know this is just a phase I think most of the bloggers experience, there are times when opps are overflowing...there are times, you can't even grab one. I just hope the trend would change and I could revive back my PRs soon. In as much as I want to forget about PR, those paid to post site seems much interested on those sites than those with none. Of course, I still manage to get some opportunities and still manage to post at least one entry a day but it should have been more if my blogs have hight PRs. So, to address this...I started working overtime and created 4 more niche blogs...one is a health site, another is a beauty portal, a food blog and a showbiz portal. I hope my ventures with my 4 new blogs would be as successful as (or even more than) the previous 4 blogs I own. And with regards to my PR's... well I think I need to study about SEO further. If there is any school that offers such course, I would definitely enroll. There are a lot of opportunities on the net and all of these little frustrations and hardships plus some sleepless nights are nothing compared to the amount of money you could earn and the fulfillment it would give you because of doing the thing you love to do- BLOGGING. So to my dear readers... I am back! Now with high hopes and positive outlook to provide you bits and information about how to make money online the "blog earner's" way.

fitth month income report

myles@emotera.com (emotera) — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:49:00 +0000

Hi everyone! I am pleased to show you my fifth month income report. I am by then managing 2 blogs with NO PR! G*@gl3 slapped my first blog because of my numerous sponsored posts..and the second blog I made is still very young by then... I have finished constructing my third blog about cheap and cute items but is still working on my posts there. Still, this post only proves that there's still life after I've lost my precious PR.

APRIL 2008

BLOGGERWAVE - I've made 3 entries for Bloggerwave this month. I almost lost my faith on it because I was'nt able to see any new review offers for almost 3 weeks and I feel it's because of my PR 0 blogs..good thing, I still visit the site once in a while and was lucky to grab 3 reviews for $10.

SPONSORED REVIEWS - this site never left me and continue to provide me with review offers though my blogs have no PRs. My trick is I never fail to go to the site and bid for any opportunity (be it $3.25 for a 200 word post). I always take EVERY as in EVERY opportunity, maybe that's the reason why they love me. hehehe. For the month of March, I was able to earn $78.

BLOG TO PROFIT - once in a while, BTP sends out an email notifiying me of new review offers but I really don't rely so much on this site as I often get 3 review offers in 2 months. It's a good thing though that they don't really mind if you have no PR, as long as there is an available offer that would suit your blog...they would surely let you know. They gave me 3 opps for a total of $20.

I was not able to beat my previous month's earning but I'm still happy that I earned a total of $128 ((exrate: $1=P42.5) which if converted to peso is Php 5,440 because I was able to pay my utility bills such as Meralco, my postpaid globe line and my dsl connection. I was able to save the remaining Php 2,500 and deposit it on my regular bank account. I am really thankful that I was able to know this money making scheme. I admit, I was not very active in my money making experiments this month - I think I need to be more vigilant in looking for some more opportunities on the net. What I really need to work on is to develop my ability to FOCUS. Once online, I never stayed focus on one thing. There's youtube, friendster, multiply and many other sites that distracts my attention. I hope I can find more ways to earn more money online so I can have something to share with you. There are times I am really pressured in earning so much on the net as I have this blog to manage and I have to show all of you the fruit of my hardwork...but sometimes, it's just so hard to stay focused. I hope on the coming months I can develop to have the jive to focus more on this little experiment of mine. Join me though the ups and downs of my blogging "career" - subscribe to my feed now.

2nd Letter From A Reader

myles@emotera.com (emotera) — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 00:10:00 +0000

Hi everyone, sorry I was'nt able to post anything for the last few days because I have been sick. I had a flu which ate up 4 days of my precious vacation leave. Unfortunately, I will be back at work later this evening though I am still not yet fully recovered. Haaay...anyways, I want to share with you a letter I received from another reader who had some inquiries on how to make money online. Here it goes....

hey there.. mztah? btw tnx for linking me in your blog.. i'm jens*** nga pala.. hmmm.. you know what, i'm really interested in earning money through the internet/blog.. haay.. saka wala din kasi akong paypal.. i'm a student pa lang po, 20 yrs and i don't have my own bank account.. sigh.. poor me.. i guess hindi talaga ako pwede kumita through this.. hmmm.. i'm planning to make a new blog that will fit the criteria ng mga sites.. can you help me po? ano po ba dapat ilagay ko dun sa new blog na gagawin ko? sorry kung istorbo ako ha.. pero sana you can give me some tips..

here's my reply:

Hi sis, sorry for 4 days me trangkaso ako ... hindi ako makaupo for a long time kaya hindi ako mkaharap sa computer ko to work. by the way, to address your issue, here's some of my suggesstions.

let me quote you...
". i'm really interested in earning money through the internet/blog kaso hindi naman natatanggap un blog ko laging rejected.. haay.. i once joined the "pay per post" but i was rejected and then i also tried the smorty rejected din..."

i think the first thing you shoud work on is your page rank. For you to increase your page rank, you should get reasonably amount of links from your co bloggers and you should also take time to comment on their blogs once in a while. It would definitely increase your technorati and alexa ranking...btw, having a high technorati and alexa rankings would also help your blog get accepted from those money making sites. It takes time and patience (and timing?) for you to get the slot. Also, one tip I think would be helpful, I really suggest you to get your own blog domain if you are really serious in making money through your blog. It would only cost you $10 for the whole year (domain plus hosting) for that but believe me, once you have been accepted on those money making websites, you'll gonna earn not just 10x more than that, even 100x! Work on your blog for at least 3 months writing good quality posts, exchanging links, and commenting on different blogs to get backlinks and finally resubmit it on those sites..I assure you, you'll get the slot. Sorry, I am also learning here when it comes to optimizing my blogs but from my experience, those 3 factors helped me a lot especially in getting PR's (Page Rank).

"saka wala din kasi akong paypal.. i'm a student pa lang po, 20 yrs and i don't have my own bank account"

getting a paypal account is easy, all you need to do is to go to paypal.com and just sign up. Then the next step na is to apply for an bank account in which you would associate with your paypal - I used Unionbank EON Card , I think that's the fastest way to get one. Just check on my post about How to Apply for an Eon Card and that's it... Once you already got your EON Card (which on my experience took me 1 month), most likely I've already finished my post about how to associate it with your paypal (lol). But don't worry, it's so easy and that's the final step.

" i'm planning to make a new blog that will fit the criteria ng mga sites.. can you help me po? ano po ba dapat ilagay ko dun sa new blog na gagawin ko? "

hmm... i don't know sis if I'm in a position to answer this coz' I'm still experimenting in my new niche blog. Actually, the topic I've selected is about practical soluctions in everyday living..it's a portal that would give out tips to people about everything. In that way, I could tackle anything from home ideas, to food tips, to healthy lifestyle etc. By doing such, my topic would be broad and I could post a wide array of topic. I suggest you try to create a blog in which you could share your personal experiences and somewhat expertise to your readers.

making money online is not an overnight thing. It really takes time and effort to be a successful one. There would be times I get frustrated because things does'nt go my way...but just be strong and don't give up. Don't compare yourself with others who are earning a lot though not doing a lot of works on their blog...everything has a purpose and not everyone is made equal. Just work on with what you have and nurture it...you'll see, in no time, you'll be able to see the fruit of your perseverance. I hope I was able to help you in my own little way. Just keep on reading my posts for more money making experiments from me. God Bless!

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE KEYWORD

myles@emotera.com (emotera) — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 15:09:00 +0000

I've been experimenting on a new opportunity today...creating a niche blog. Actually, I don't really have any idea about SEO (Search Engine Optimization) that's the reason maybe why my other blogs does'nt get as much visitors as my other blogs with targeted keywords. Now I've learned that having a popular keyword that would lead people to your site would give you more visitors. Sorry, I think most of you already know that - but to be honest, only now did I fully understand the real essence of optimizing your website. I thought people who are earning from google adsense are those webmasters that really understand html codes and several programs ... but through browsing the internet and reading other money making blogs, I've learned that even stay-at-home mom who never knew about programming languages are earning from it - and it's all because of simple logic - more targeted keyword, more targeted visitors who would more likely to click on your adsense related to your site. BINGO! So what I'll gonna do is work on my keywords. There are several sites that would help us with that such as Yahoo Buzz and Google Trends. I am currently working on 2 niche sites ... one tackles about health and wellness and another one about cute but cheap gift suggestions. Hope this new money making scheme of mine would work. Would let you know but for now...I'll gonna post some articles related to my chosen topic and will let you know if it will work for google adsense. Furthermore, I am also looking forward to have advertisers that are willing to pay a few bucks for a month exposure to my site. Wow, hmmm...I hope I can make it and I hope I can have the strength to do it asap , my creative juices are not flowing very well these past few days so I need to really need to be inspired to make it good. Good luck to me! lol.

GOT AN EMAIL FROM A READER

myles@emotera.com (emotera) — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 16:47:00 +0000

Just received an email from one of the readers, Sam, who happen to stumble upon my site and he does have some questions regarding how to make easy money online. And because I feel that most of my readers does feel the same way as he does - I've decided to post it here. I know that most bloggers are already fed up with money making schemes that gives them nothing but false promises...BUT believe me - THERE ARE SOME LEGITIMATE MONEY MAKING SITES THAT DEFINITELY PAYS! And I'll be more that happy to show you how was able to find that out. Here's the content of the letter I received and I hope through my response... others would be inspired as well (like Sam) to start anew with their search on how to make money through the net.

*******

"Hi there!

Well, I browsed through your blogsite, http://www..blogearner.net/, and find
your works very interesting. I am not a newbie in the Internet world, but I
think you are more successful than me in terms of
online-making-money-stuffs. I have already joined several PTC and affiliates
programs before but end up in nothing. I got tired of earning cents and
seeing no progress in that online business so I stopped a few months ago.

When I saw your blogsite, I really got excited in going back. Joining
several PTC programs never came to my mind. Right now, I dont want to ask
you several questions because I havent read the entirety of your blogsite.
But I have some basic questions that popped out when I reached your page.

- Are you a Filipino?
- If it is ok with you, can you tell me how far you've reached, in terms of
financial earnings?
- Did you already received the money physically?
- Do you have programs wherein you can guide interested and aspiring
entrepreneurs?
- In short, can you help me out in starting all over again?

I will really appreciate your response to this email so as for me also to
know that you are a real entity and not just some other scammers.. Please do
tell me of your existence. Thank you in advance.""

*******

HERE'S MY RESPONSE TO HIS LETTER

"Dear Sam,

Hi there! I'll be more than happy to help and I thank you for visiting my site blogearner.net - and to address your inquiries...here are my response.

- Are you a Filipino?
*yes I am a Filipina, I'm based here in Manila Philippines and working fulltime in a call center somewhere in Ortigas Pasig

- If it is ok with you, can you tell me how far you've reached, in terms of financial earnings?
*actually if I would sum it all...I have earned around $2000 dollars since December. Well, I am really not paying attention to earning money online until March this year. If I only knew then that there are a lot of earning opportunities on the internet ... I would have started earlier.

- Did you already received the money physically?
*definitely. This is not sort of a scam whatsoever. All my earnings was sent through paypal in which i associated my unionbank eon card. Through Unionbank, I was able to withdraw the money and deposit it on my personal bank account

- Do you have programs wherein you can guide interested and aspiring
entrepreneurs?
*im recently developing a site in which i could put in several business ideas that could help people succeed in business. I myself is a born entrepreneur but I still does'nt have enough money to put up a bigger business venture. Will post about it on my blogearner blog once finished.

- In short, can you help me out in starting all over again?
*of course, that's the reason why I put up a blog. First to help out and inspire others on how to make money online through legitimate sites. Second, I must admit, as a form of referral as well. In every referral I made from those advertisers, I get commissions. So I think I'm hitting two birds with one stone.

Rest assured that whatever I post on my site are legitimate and true. Please continue to read and visit my blog and if there's anything else I could do to assist you...please let me know.

Glad to help,
Myles "

I hope I was able to address all his questions and inquiries. Making money online is a legitimate work but of course, you need to look for those legitimate sites that offers it. I'm really not an expert regarding this and I bet, there are millions of people who earns a thousand more than what I am earning, but I am proud that I was able to learn all of these on my own...and I am sharing my failures and success to my readers. I would really be happy if I would be able to inspire at least one soul. If there's anything I could do to help you, please let me know and email me through myles@emotera.com.

fourth month income report

myles@emotera.com (emotera) — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 03:37:00 +0000

I lost my PR last February and my PR3 blog became PR 0 - most likely because of g*ogl*s punishment for blogs that are writing reviews for a certain products or services for money. Honestly, at first, I was so disappointed as I know that the higher the PR (Page Rank) you have, the more review opportunities will be given to you. That might be true but as for me...I'm so happy that my review offers was not "really" affected by a sudden drop of my page rank...though I must admit, there are "some" paid to post site that really pays very little attention to those blogs with no PR. As of this point, I already have 2 blogs. The old blogspot.com blog that I have has been upgraded to my own .com domain with PR ZERO and I also was able to start to create another blog with its own .com domain at that time as well. The earnings I have accumulated for March was solely for my first .com domain with ZERO PAGE RANK. With the earnings I received from March, it only shows that you don't need to be well loved by master g*og*e to have review opportunities. There is still life after dropping your PR.

MARCH 2008

BLOGSVERTISE - I only had 1 review opportunity for them for $5. Unfortunately, this is a site that really is strict especially with PR. They only give out review tasks to those blog with at least PR2.

SMORTY - was lucky to be given the chance to post 2 reviews for them amounting to $6 each. Though I also feel the effect of having a PR ZERO blog on this site, they gave me a chance to write 2 posts for them. Though I learned from the site's forumn itself that they are having a hard time getting advertisers... I still have faith that they will soon give out more review opportunities for blogs without PR. I earned $12 for my 2 posts.

SPONSORED REVIEWS - I sooo love sponsored reviews! This is indeed a site that gives out opportunities for bloggers to earn though you don't have a very popular blog. I cant thank them enough as I never run out of opportunities even after I lost my PR. This is the site that will never leave you alone through thick and thin (do I sound emotional?lol) Seriously, I thought it's the end of happy days for my as I felt I won't have review offers anymore because of the incident, but sponsored reviews revive back my confidence in myself and my capability to earn extra money online by giving me not just one but several review tasks. I was able to earn $ 150.80 for the month of March.

BLOGGERWAVE - though not so popular...bloggerwave gave me one opportunity for $10. Also a site that does'nt care about PR as long as you have a reasonably number of blog visitors and enough links to have your mark in the blogging world.

PAYPERPOST - I admit, I felt really bad before because I felt that the reason why I lost my PR is because of Payperpost. I was able to read so many articles on the net saying go**gl* punishes blogs that is affiliated with PPP (PAYPERPOST) because PPP is developing real rank, another form of blog ranking tool like page rank, which calculates the importance of a certain website. Since the big G already have PR they don't want PPP to have their own kind of ranking tool so the tendency is that they want to eliminate blogs using PPP by decreasing or even eliminating their PR no matter how popular the site is. I felt I was a victim of that rage. I was kin'da felt bad because after I lost my PR because of PPP - PPP all of a sudden stopped giving me tasks because of my zero PR. I felt that PPP left me hanging. I lost my PR because of them and they left me because I lost my PR... i was left with nothing to hold on to. It's a good thing I was able to verify that it's not just because of PPP. I lost my PR because of multiple entries I've written for certain advertisers. I became so excited to blog for money that I overdid it. That's a lesson learned. Once you're already earning through your blog...don't forget to write non sponsored posts once in a while. Good thing I already changed my isp from smartbro to bayantel dsl which is 3x faster and was able to grab 1 opportunity for $10.

I was able to accumulate a grand total of $187.8 for the month of MARCH (exrate: $1=P42.035) which if converted to Peso amounts to Php 7,894.173! I never touched the money and I intend to save my earnings through online blogging so that so I could invest for small business in the future once I've already accumulated a total or Php 100,000.00 . By faith I am already claiming that I would be able to achieve it come end of this year as I inted to find more ways to earn money online. Join me through this online journey and together let's get our first hundred thousand pesos by the end of 2008! Subscribe to my feed now!

third month income report

myles@emotera.com (emotera) — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 04:36:00 +0000

At this point, my full time job in a call center as a tech support for dsl is on the top of my top priorities. I need to pass my scorecard for three consecutive months so that I could get a quarterly salary increase and this is my third and final month. I'm very fortunate to belong to a company that provides not just yearly but quarterly salary increase especially if you are performing well...so blogging and grabbing reviews tasks is really not on the top of my lists as I need to often go overtime to maintain my stats. Furthermore, Google updated its page rank and guess what - from PAGERANK 3 - I've got a whooping PAGE RANK ZERO overnight (maybe because at that time, master GOOGLE is punishing blogs writing reviews for certain companies. At that time, I really dont care about PR since I'm still getting the same volume of offers like before (but I kind'a feel sad in a way). I'm still happy because though I am not able to give my full attention to my money making scheme this month and was'nt able to beat my last month's earning...I still was able to get some cash... and I got the raise as well. =)

SMORTY - I only grabbed 1 review for Smorty this month...for $6.

BLOGSVERTISE - I made 4 reviews for them, most of them I got from grab bags. $33.5

SPONSORED REVIEWS - I never thought this site would be one my highest generating income site so far. At this time, sponsored reviews accepted my PR ZERO blog and gave me 3 review tasks before the month ends. I earned $ 19.5 in one week.

PAYPERPOST - I was lucky to get at least one opportunity for them for $5. Since I only have one blog with PR Zero, no much opportunity for me. Hope my rank could improve so I can grab more.

February is my month because I was born on February 22 - and I was so happy that I was able to celebrate my birthday through my online income. All in all - I was able to earn $86.75 (exrate: P42 = $1) which is equivalent to P3,643.5. Through this, I was able to treat my mom out and had the chance to celebrate my birthday at home with them and cook some of my favorite food. To God Be the Glory and Thank You Lord for all the blessings! I hope all Filipinos could learn how to make money online...

How to Apply for an EON Card

myles@emotera.com (emotera) — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 14:10:00 +0000

I admit... my experience with Unionbank is not that good... unfortunately, that's the easiest way to get a debit card which is accepted by Paypal. At that time, I really don't have any idea on how it works. Nobody ever guided me or walked me through the process...all I did is I sign up for Payperpost (as instructed by my friend Joedel) and when I've learned that I need to have a paypal account so payperpost could pay me ... I hurriedly signed up for one. Unfortunately there is a part on the registration process in which you need to associate a certain local account to your paypal. I got curious but I don't have anyone to ask as Joedel is most of the time offline (through YM that is) and no one from my few set of friends know anything about these things. I relied on google and online forums that tackles topics about paypal processes. I've learned through different forums that getting an Eon Debit Card is the fastest and easiest way to have a debit card. I hurriedly called Union Bank's Customer Service and asked how to apply for one. The Customer Service Representative informed me that I need to go to one of Union Bank outlets so I could fill out an application. The following day, after my shift - I hurriedly went to their Cubao branch to do as what the representative told me...unfortunately I came too early. I thought most of the banks opens at 9 am but the guard told me I need to wait for an hour more because they opens at 10 am. I am sooo sleepy and tired at that time as my shift ended at 7am. I just told myself that it's okey since I would soon be getting my debit card and would now be able to withdraw my hard earned money (by the way, I already have a hundred dollar on my unverified Paypal account which is equivalent to around php 4000 as $1=P40 at that time). Finally, at 10 am.. I hurriedly went to the counter and asked the representative that I would like to apply for an EON Debit Card...and to my surprise, the guy told me (coldly) that they are not giving out registration forms anymore and the application for an EON Card is done online. I almost collapsed after hearing that but still politely thanked the guy. There's no point in getting mad anymore, he could not help me anyway.

So I did as what the guy from Unionbank Cubao told me...I registered online by going to UnionBank website and registered online. As of this time, I think Union Bank is having some
upgrade (yeah, they should have) so they are requiring those who want to apply for one to go to the nearest branch.

Here's what you'll gonna see in their website.

"To our valued guests,

We apologize for the inconvenience. The Eon online application form is currently being upgraded to provide you with a more improved Eon CyberAccount Card. Watch out for the new Eon CyberAccount. Coming soon.

To apply for an Eon card, kindly visit your nearest UnionBank branch.

Thank you."

Just a tip, I suggest that you take note of your preferred branch's telephone number so you could follow it up. Application process usually takes 3 weeks and you will be notified through email (or mail) that you can now pick up your card. Before you pick it up, I suggest you first call the branch where you applied for the card just to make sure - click here for the list of their branch locations and contact numbers. The processing fee is php 350 and bring along 2 Identification Cards as well. I'll teach you how to associate that with your paypal account on my next post. Till then!

second month income report

myles@emotera.com (emotera) — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 16:27:00 +0000

Remember that I only have one PR3 blogspot blog here. I was not really aware that I have a pagerank until my friend introduced me to this scheme. He told me that I am lucky to have a high PR because it means that my blog is important (hmmm...actually i don't remember his exact term). He said that maybe since my blog is so old (I started blogging since 2004) that's the reason Google gave such high rank. Anyways, here is my 2nd month earnings. I hope I can inspire you to create a blog right now and earn like I do as well.

JANUARY 2008

BLOGSVERTISE - $51

I've written 6 reviews for Blogsvertise this month and most of it are because of grab bags...If you want a detailed information on how it works...see here. As of this point, I am already spending about 2 hours in front of the pc because of those offers, I usually post my reviews after I came home from work which is usually at 7am so instead of reuniting with my pillows - I usually spend those precious two hours of my time researching and writing reviews ... but i never regret a single thing..it's all worth it!

SMORTY - $12

I only posted 2 reviews for $6. I had 3 expired reviews amounting to $6 each so yeah...sayang. It It's because there really come a time in a man's life that you want to relax and you first want to absorb the sudden change that occurs in your life. Being a blogger for money is indeed a life changing thing for me because my routines has been altered. I told you, I am working full time in a call center and my shift is usually from 10pm to 7am...so after office, my body is really crying out for my bed and ut since I have tasks to do...I don't usually get to sleep that much. Maybe I just need some time to adjust to this new scenario and I would definitely would be able to finish all the task assigned to me. Unfortunately for Smorty, they would give you only 3 days to finish the task unlike for Blogsvertise that you can finish the task for 5 days. I'm fortunate to finish these 2 offers for Smorty this month inspite of my laziness. lol.

BLOGGERWAVE - $10

Another paid to post website. I signed up for bloggerwave and after a week they already gave me my first assignment - to write about their site for $10 for only 50 words! Very nice site and they usually pays after a month (that's the downside).

DNEERO - $20

my friend Ruthie of Angelofthewaters told me about Dneero. It's a paid to fill out survey site that requires you to fill out an online survey in which you need to put into your blog. They usually pay once you've reached an accumulated earning of $20. So far, this is one of my top rated
survey site.

PAYPERPOST - $6
at last my blog was approved at Payperpost on the last week of January. I grabbed the first review task that was available for me amounting to $20 unfortunately, I was'nt able to read the FAQ's which shows that I need to post a non-sponsored post before it. Too late, I already sent my review link and as expected, my post was declined. Good thing, I was able to post one opportunity before the month ends.

By the end of January, 2 months after I've learned about how to make money online, I was able to earn $99 (exrate for January : $1 = P41.242) which if converted to peso is P4,059. Slightly higher than my first month. Not that much but having an extra income of P4,000 is a great help especially for an independent woman like me. I could pay my electricity and my dsl connection through my online earnings. Btw, I upgraded my current blogspot.com website to a new .com domain through blogger. It only cost me $10 for a year subscription...I also added a new site with a dot com domain from the current earning. I hope I could find more ways to earn money online.

Sign Up for Paypal Now

myles@emotera.com (emotera) — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 03:25:00 +0000

So, you already created your very first blog. You have chosen the best template for your site and you are writing about the things you love the most - it's time to create a paypal account. It's a good thing Paypal already opened it's doors to its Filipino users. Paypal's official website now shows that Philippines can now send and receive payments through paypal and we are even given the opportunity to withdraw funds to a bank account in the US or to a credit, debit or prepaid card! Most of those money making sites offers payment through Paypal so I
bet you don't want to miss this part.

HOW PAYPAL WORKS?

1) Choose Who to Pay?

* Select PayPal when checking out at online stores worldwide.
* Or use PayPal to send money to friends across town or on another continent.

2) Decide How to Pay?

* Pay directly from your PayPal balance or linked bank account.
* Or charge it to your credit card.

3) Payment Sent

* Stay safer - recipient gets the money without seeing sensitive financial details like your credit card or bank account numbers.
* Keep track of all your transactions on PayPal.

All you need to do is to log in to Paypal and sign up for a new account and you need to fill out an online registration form that would basically ask you about your Contact Information. Make sure that you have an existing email address that you could use to associate with your paypal account. Take note that most pay to blog websites would prompt you to put in your paypal address which is usually the email address you have tagged or associated with your paypal. After filling out all the neccessary information - you will be informed that you have now initially set up your paypal account. The next thing to do is to complete the registration by associating a card supporting paypal transactions. Of course you want to withdraw your hard earned money having your local currency. You won't be able to get your money unless you have one of those paypal supported accounts. You would better know how paypal works and how you can withdraw your money through it by going to paypal helpsite.

I have linked my paypal through my Union Bank EON Card. I guess for those people who does'nt want complications and does'nt want to submit several different documents just to have those paypal supported accounts - I really suggest you get those Paypal supported debit cards. I would teach you how I was able to apply for one and how I was able to successfully widthdraw my money through my EON Card on my next posts.

For now, make sure to subscribe to my feeds through your email and learn more about how I was able to make money even out of the most ordinary blog I have. Till next time!

How to Create a Blog

So you already have a topic in mind and a possible title for your website. It's now time to meet Mr. Blogger. Log on to www.blogger.com and the site would walk you through 3 easy steps on how to make a blog:

1) CREATE AN ACCOUNT - blogger will ask you to fill out a form asking you about your personal information

2) NAME YOUR BLOG - a part in which you need to put a title for your site. Blogger will inform you if the name of the blog you picked is already taken and would give you some title suggestions which is closer to the title you first selected.

3) CHOOSE A TEMPLATE - blogger does have a dozen of templates that you could use. You can select whatever template would suit the website you want to create. You could customize your site by downloading free blogger templates available on the internet but I suggest you first use those default template until such time you are already familiar with blogger software.

after prompting you to select a template...blogger will ask you if you already want to create a post (or blog entry) and once you click the link... you will now be creating your first blog post. I suggest you make your first entry as an introduction page. Tell your readers about yourself and what you want to achieve in making your blog. Through this, readers would know more about you and what drive you to create your website.

Thanks Mr. Blogger!

I would like to show you how I started it all. I admit, I am not so familiar with so many blogging applications (actually I am only familiar with one, haha!) – thanks to Mr. Blogger. There are a lot of free blogging websites available such as wordpress.com , i.ph , vox.com , livejournal.com etc but for novices like me…I really suggest you to use blogger software. Besides, master Google manages this site so you are assured that you are placing your blog in good hands. I have only one complaint about a blogger sponsored blog– it does’nt allow you to add a new page to your existing blog (unlike wordpress). You can add a tab in your blog but you need to link it in a post you’ve made within the blog itself. But generally, its fine. Actually, I think this is the easiest way to learn how to blog as the interface is user friendly. You just need to learn how to identify different functions of each page elements and you’ll be fine. Besides, you can start by getting a blogger blog – your website would have a domain extension blogspot.com – eg: you want to name your site starsareblind – then the url you’ll gonna need to access your website would be "www.starsareblind.blogspot.com" (depending on its availability).

I specifically made this blog for those people who have a little or no idea at all on how to make a blog and how to make money out of it that’s why I am speaking generally in layman’s term or in the simplest term I can. So please bear with me dear readers if I tend to emphasize on certain words that I feel a newbie can’t understand unless I make an example out of it. I am also not very good in English grammar so if there is any grammatically incorrect words or phrases…please bear with me as well.

Ok, first things first – you need to know what topic you’ll gonna use to start a blog. I suggest you write about things that you are knowledgeable of. For example, you’re good in doing beaded accessories…you can post things that would help others on how to make a cute charm bracelet and post pictures of your creation. If you are someone who is very fond of reading books, you could write a blog showing brief summaries of those books and give your recommendations. Or if you are a teacher of music – you can write about things associated with music. You can write Any topic that you feel you are capable of sharing to others, anything that interests you…or if you feel you have nothing to offer or have no specific topic in mind…you can write a personal blog. More like an online diary. It’s not so hard to do as you would only put in things that you have in mind. Anything goes. You can share your happiness, bitterness, anger, excitement and other emotions though it. Just be yourself. I myself started with a personal blog and I’m happy I did. Whenever I read my previous posts on that blog, I remember old memories that most likely I would not remember if I was’nt able to take note of it. So if you have no specific area of interest – stick with a personal blog.

Secondly, you need to think of the perfect title of your blog. Of course, you need to think of a word that would be of relevance to the topic that you would pick. If for example you picked writing about how to make a beaded accessories – you might want to pick “beadmaker” , therefore your website would have a url (or website address) www.beadmaker.blogspot.com (if its still available). I’ve read an article before that the shorter the name of your website, the better. Besides the fact that people would most likely remember a one word website address like www.emotera.com than a three word site with the same title www.iamemotera.com , they said Google will most likely give you a credit for having a shorter one. Any website would want to have the approval of master Google as it is the authority that gives out page rank on a particular site. I’ll gonna tackle all I know about page rank on my next posts. Just remember that a higher pagerank means a higher website credibility at least at Google’s eyes.

So you already have the topic and a name of your website in mind…it’s time to have the ball rolling...
