An update of Google Page Rank.

There are a lot of uproar in the blogging world because Google has just updated the page rank of bloggers.

There are some who are sad because their page rank has been decrease and some are happy because their page rank has increased.

I am not sad or happy because my Google page rank has remained one ?

What about you my readers, do you care to share your Google page rank with me ?

A big THANK YOU to payperpost

I have been writing paid post for Payperpost for about a couple of months now. And this freezer is a full paid by the money I gotten from writing paid post for Payperpost.



Am I thankful to Payperpost ? You bet !

I would highly recommend all the bloggers out there to write paid post for Payperpost. In fact, not only you get to pay to write, there are a lot of good products that I have written that I become a consumer of those products.

This is me with my new pacemaker !

I am already feel so much more energetic :).

Feel down ?

I think many of you here can identify with me about "time challenge syndrome" on blogging if you have a full time job, or a full time student, and have a family to take care.

But, this blog cheers me up . This is a blog on Darren's sneeze page titled : When it Feels Like Nobody is Reading Your Blog.

These are the exact words that really uplifted me !

"So my advice to new bloggers who feel like no one is listening is to not give up and see the experience of preaching to the empty pews on your blog as a learning experience.

The things you learn now will shape your future blogging, will grow your understanding of your topic, will grow your character and make you into a better blogger. "

I think we all have gone through that stage during our earlier days of blogging or still going through it now that "no one read our blog". I talked about this feeling here.


Wow, I think my husband would be so encouraged because he feels like that now. He has been blogging on reformed baptist apologetics for quite a number of months, there are not a lot of readers but he still keeps writing :).

So, be passionate of what you are doing, continue to blog !

Cheers !

How many blogs you read daily ?

I know I am a blog addict.
I wish I am more tech savyy where I own a handhold computer where I can blog. But, I don't :)-.
I go to a mortal school to get a real degree but I also spend a lot of times on virtual school getting blogging e-degree.
I talk a lot on the blog but in real life I can be quiet if I want to. In fact, I am quite a loner in life. I travel round the world for 12months all by myself :)-. I traveled to/fro H.K/K.L alone for a number of years. I love companies but I also love solitaire.
This blogging thing has gotten me hooked !
I don't know about you, I read at least 3-5 new blogs every day.
How about you ? Do you read a number of new blogs every day or you stick with your friends blogs ?

My personal review on paid post

This blog is served as an encouragement to new bloggers who want to make some part time income for writing paid post on their blogs.

I have received some $ from bloggerwave for the posts that I wrote for them. The money has long been transfered to my checking account from my paypal account. Since then I have not written new posts for bloggerwave because they have not posted any new post for me.

Today, Smorty emailed me that they are sending $ to my paypal account for the posts that I wrote for them. I was pleasantly surprised because it took a while for Smorty to approve my blog. But since they approved my blog, they have given me posts to write and I can say their payment system is very efficient. It did not take them very long to pay me.

The other company that I have signed up with was Blogitive. So far, Blogitive has not approved my blog yet. I am not too worry about it, when they felt that my blog is good enough for them, I am sure they will notify me.

The other one is CREAMaid. For CREAMaid, you don't have to register, all you do is you pick any conversations that you are interested in, you write and submit your post. They will email you if your post is approved. So far, I have only written one post for them and I have not heard from them yet.

The other company that I have registered longer than the others is payperpost. It takes me a while to get used to payperpost system. I got rejected quite a number of times in the beginning because I forget to link these and that or my post was shorter than the requirement. So far, I have written 7posts for them and they have approved 3 of them. I have not received any money from them yet for the posts they approved. Might be they have a payment system that I should look into it. I have not gotten the time to go about doing it yet.

And the last one that I nearly forget to mention is blogvertise. They did approve my blog long ago but I have never received any assignment from them until recently. I hope they will give me more as my blogging day progress :)-

In terms of money wise, time/$, I don't think writing for pay post is the most profitable kind of money for blogging. To me it is an active job and an active income, it is not a passive income. A passive income is an income that can be generated even when you are sleeping. Might be for Malaysian bloggers, it is a good revenue because of the exchange rate. Every US$100 would translate to RM$300+. But for us American, it is not so. Plus the fact that we have a lot more opportunities here that pay more or less kind of money. To me writing for paid post is a bit like doing medical coding or medical transcript, but in a smaller scale. Home business medical transcript is a US$1.7 billion business. Of course with medical coding and transcript, you need to attend some classes to acquired the skill for coding and transcript. With coding and transcript, there is no limit on the amount of work you want to put in, there are more jobs than people who are available to do it.

So you ask, why are you still doing paid post when you could be doing other things.Well, I enjoy writing, especially writing for travel post, the other thing is writing paid post helped me a lot in writing :). I am more conscious of my tenses and grammar. I am doing a course that required me to write a lot. In fact, blogging and writing paid posts have helped me in my writing for my class. One stone kills two bird. A bargain for me.

I think the very main reason I blog is the ability to connect with Malaysian or ex-Malaysians all over the world. I made a number of good cyber friends over the years of my cyber journey. I can name them here but I do not think it is appropriate for me to do it because I knew with my forgetful mind I tend to miss one or two names and that is not very kind of me to do that.

So I like to encourage everyone who wanted to take up this part time money making hobby, be patience, be persevere , never give up; and I am very sure that one of these days, one of these companies will ask you to write for them. I am no guru in telling you what to do with your content etc. I do not want to sound like some old mamak who think they knew it all by giving you all kind of advices. My only advice is don't worry , be happy even if your blogs have been rejected, rewrite and submit again, no big deal. Life is mean for us to enjoy :).

Don't worry , be happy !!!!!!!!!!!!

With that I am signing off from Sunshine Florida.

To blog or not to blog

My investment guru and his wife visited my family last Saturday night.
He and his wife were surprised that I have not email or call him for a while now. We correspond quite a lot through emails and phones. But since I have been putting a lot of work in my personal blog and started my summer A class, I have stopped writing to him or call him for a while.

He showed me some of the gold stocks he had brought 2 months back. One of them has appreciated 424.50%. It is a junior exploration company with main focus in Indonesia but listed in Canada stock market. Southern Arc Mineral Inc. " Southern Arc Minerals Inc is a junior mineral exploration company with its activities focused on the acquisition, evaluation and advancement of mineral properties in Indonesia, one of the world's most prospective mineralized regions. Southern Arc's intention is to advance properties that hold the potential of becoming one million ounce gold resources or greater to exploitation...."

To tell you the truth, I was a bit depressed about the opportunity lost that I have incurred. With blogging you really need to spend a lot of times if you want to come up with good content and keep a close contact with your readers, especially replying their comments. Plus you have to keep up with the paid post that blogging companies assigned you. So in short, it is not a small job.

I talked to my other guru, this time, it is my tech guru, non other than KuanHong. His advice is if I don't want to do it full time, just do it part time cos no one will reject part time income.

I am still debating to blog or not to blog or just concentrate on my gold investment.
