Blogging As A Hobby And Making Money Online

Blogging has mainly become my hobby where I express my thoughts, opinions, and share my past/present experiences in life.  In addition, I learned that I can earn extra income thru blogging too.  I joined paid-to-blog companies and affiliate sites to make money online.  There was a time I got scammed.  Not only me but also some of the bloggers I know. I am blogging for three years and counting...still earning too.  With legit PTB sites, my work has guaranteed rewards. Below is the list of the legit PTB sites I joined in.  Besides earning, they also can help bring traffic to your blog or website.

• Blogsvertise
• Online Jobs With Microworkers
• PayPerPost
• LinkVehicle
• BuyBlogReviews
• Review Me
• LinkFromBlog
  
• Social Spark

Blogging requires time and hard work.  Once you learned the basics, everything will be easy.

Yahoo Will Discontinue MyBlogLog

I received an email from Yahoo saying that they will discontinue MyBlogLog. I am one of the subscribers of MyBlogLog and I have built friendships with it. It is kinda surprising. MyBlogLog helped my blogs get visitors.

Maybe it didn't work out for MyBlogLog. I feel sad about it.

Making Money From Blogging Needs Hard Work

I am doing pretty good with making money with my blogs. Though my earnings are a few bucks less than the last year's, I can say it is still makes me happy.

'Been into blogging for more than a year now. I must say it is fun. Sometimes I encounter bad moments online (like bugs from other blogs or website) but I get over it. I am learning new things everyday.

You see, maintaining a blog is not that easy. Dedication, patience and more patience are the primary things needed in executing and sharing the ideals to readers. Fresh ideas should always come out so you have new things to share with people. Money making opportunities follows and you will gain rewards for the hard work.

I know laziness strikes...it is natural. But I do have a time to get incoming traffic to my blog. Yes, they are not high but still I am keeping up. The money I earn from blogging helps me through a lot.

I Figured Out What Happened

After a few posts in the Entrecard forum and asking questions to the fellow bloggers, I got some kind responses about the problem with Entrecard drop widget in my blogs. They said that EC did some system upgrading.

But I figured out what happened, really. The third party cookies was not enabled in my settings. So I did some ticking and then, my EC widgets are back. Now I am enjoying EC drops again :)

What Is Going On With Entrecard?

For some unknown reason, I cannot drop Entrecards this evening. Why is that? Can somebody tell me what is happening??? It makes me mad. Is there any updating going on? I hope this will be handled and solved soon.

Who else is having problems with dropping Entrecards tonight?

I Am In Technorati!

Hey there! If you know about Technorati, maybe you get the chance to visit my Technorati Profile. See, I joined this big Social Networking and added my blog in their directory. This is what I like doing.

Social networking websites help bring traffic to your Websites. You can also submit articles here for everybody to read and enjoy. To start, create an account in Technorati. Add your blogs or websites then blog around :).

Making Money Online Is Doing Pretty Good

It is April. 'Cannot believe how time flies huh? Well when we are busy, we do not notice time's passing by. Before we know it, the week is almost over.

Anyway, I earned a bit again from blogging last month. Though it is not as big as with those full time bloggers' earnings, my extra income online is pretty good. I only do blogging on the side because I have a full time job now. And like what I said, it is doing pretty good.

I just do not know how much tax will I pay for my blogging income last year. If you have something to share, feel free to leave a comment.

Making Money Online With PTC

When I learned about getting paid thru PTC websites, I gave it a try. You know it is difficult to know what earning opportunities online are legit.

I was hesitant before but I joined in Clixsense.com. They give $.01 for every ads clicked. As of now, I am active in Clixsense. Earning with PTCs needs patience. In fact, I already received a payment check (minimum $ 10.00) from them. It is not bad. Now I am waiting for the other PTCs such as Easyhits4u.com and Clicksia.com to send me some bucks on my PayPal account in the next few days. My blogging funds from last year was pretty good too.

Free Online Tools For Bloggers

Blogging is such a time consuming hobby. If a blogger does not have the patience, he or she might suddenly quit after a few months of setting up a blog. When making an entry to post, we do a lot of editing to make it more pleasant to the readers. Checking the grammar and spelling means so much to bloggers like me.

There are online tools that bloggers can use to check grammar and spelling for their entries. One of them is the Spellchecker.net. This is a free online tool where checking the words spelling, grammar, and even looking for related words can be done. Essential tools like this is a big help in enhancing a person's writing skills. I rely on Spellchecker.net to help me correct the errors in my writings.

Spending Money For Traffic

There are some website/blog owners who are spending money for traffic. Others just rely on free service. Of course, if you want to gain decent figure of incoming traffic to your website, an extra effort is needed. That includes paying for directory and search engine submissions.

I am not sure if the idea will work for me but I am not hesitant to try. The concern is, I do not have budget for it right now. I consider myself a newbie to blogging. My writing skills is not that good enough but I am open to improvements. Learning is a part of the process.

How about you? Do you spend money for traffic? If you have a better suggestion, please share.

Earning Online With Your Blog

Making money online is not easy as you think it is. If you have a a website or a blog, for example, you need to work on good ranking by maintaining the incoming traffic. Also, writing unique contents help drive visitors and readers to your blog. This way, getting sponsorship offers will come. The most popular is blog advertising.

Entrepreneurs need to expose their businesses. The Internet is the best place for product and service exposure. So they advertise on blogs to get potential customers. On blog advertising, chances of gaining visitors to a business' website is high. And who knows they will become the prospect customers, right?

Blog owners like me should exert extra effort in marketing our websites too. The higher the rank we get, the higher the chance of earning money online.
