Oh, my hubby tie is placed there cos I am too lazy to pixelate out the address using computer software.
So, how’s your income from Nuffnang? Are you still making money? Have you signed up for Churp-Churp dot com? I don’t know exactly how it works, how much it pays etc but I had signed up and was suppose to tweet something.
Oh ya, if you are a making money blogger and you still don’t have a Twitter account, then, you are missing out a lot. Don’t live in the dinosaur age, go get a Twitter account already! RSS is like so yesterday already.
You may ask, “Do I get that much money from Nuffnang every month?” Well…lucky no. Cos if it is, then, I have to pay income tax, a lot! I just cashed out another RM2K just now. So, maybe it is not a monthly thing but a little bit longer than that.
5xmom SEO roxs while P1 Wimax suxs
It has been a while since I bother to check my blog stats. I have been busy with citizen journalism and especially video journalism. Sometimes, I have to spend four to five hours on location just to wait for something to take place.
It is not rewarding in terms of monetary wise but the satisfaction is knowing that I have been able to report news as they happened. So many times, I have noticed how some mainstream media tend to ‘miss out’ certain parts in their reporting.
Right now, I am busy following through with some eviction issue that has taken so many twists and turns. I want to see a closure before I can finally reduce my involvement in citizen journalism.
To those of you who do not read my personal blog, maybe I should share what citizen journalism is. It is part of the new media whereby citizens like me report news based on journalism ethics. The above video is an exclusive interview I had with the Chief Minister of Penang on his thoughts on citizen journalism.
Now, what about P1 Wimax? Well, apparently, the speed at my place suxs. I blogged about it and didn’t think too much about that post. I just discovered that my post is now on the first page of Google. Not good….not good at all…..muahahar….It’s not my fault, ok? Google just lurveeeeee me!
Are you a full-time make money blogger?
I have just withdrawn USD500 from Paypal. Phew….at least I still have money to withdraw. Lately, my income drops because I have blogged less. The interest to make money blogging seems to take second place nowadays. Maybe it is because my income is more a buffer than the main one so it doesn’t really matter if I am making money or not.
The funny thing about being a full-time blogger who makes money is the lack of respect I get. Or at the other extreme, the kind of ‘I want to leech on you’ kind of interest. Sometimes, I know I am making more than those people who looked with disdain or disbelief when I say I make money blogging. They give me that, “HUH? Don’t try to bullshit. How many pennies can you make from those ads?”
People just don’t believe that we can make money from blogging. I wonder how those professionals who make a living out of online work feel? For me, it doesn’t matter because I am not exactly a full-time blogger as I didn’t sacrifice a ‘real profession’ to stay at home making money. But I would feel terribly discouraged if I am to tell the world I am a full-time blogger because no one believes. They probably think we are ‘good for nothing, too lazy to find a proper job, too stupid to make it in the corporate world, must be some scammer at work’ kind of citizens.
Anyway, I am still on my sabbath and did not really keep up with the latest development in make money blogging. In fact, I almost getting too lazy. Yesterday, I tried changing my personal blog theme but midway, I dropped the idea because I suddenly realised I don’t care about SEO optimised, good ads positioning or care about inserting tracking codes etc. Looking at PHP codes suddenly become too tedious and mind numbing for me.
I wonder what will happen to me in another month or two but never mind…I shall place my trust in God. If I need the money, I will work hard and earn more. If not, I will enjoy doing other things. BTW, did you listen to Darren Rowse’s sharing about the Christian’s faith? I was like, ‘Oh wow…the problogger talking Jesus is just so glorious. It is nice to know that he is not only a blogger but a God loving man. God bless him.
Good riddance to bad WP plugins
I haven’t been tampering with my blogs much. I don’t post, I don’t update the plugins and didn’t touch any of them except for a couple like my personal and faith blog. It is good to just take a breather sometimes.
However, there is one very, very annoying Wordpress plugin that I finally get rid off. I am not sure if the developer is an attention seeker or a real genius who must get everyone to update his plugins every few days. I seriously do not see any improvement in any SEO after using the plugin. But since I have installed it, I let it stays.
Finally, I have enough of the plugin. I just deleted off the All in one SEO pack. It is one of the most cumbersome, annoying plugin because I need to update it like very few days.
What about you? Do you find the plugin helpful?
Do you have a Yahoo Geocities site somewhere?
For the longest time, I have been meaning to move my Yahoo Geocities site to either a Wordpress.com, Blogger.com or even my own hosting. However, the sites I have are not exactly the most cheerful site. So, I never do anything about them.
Some of my Yahoo Geocities sites are more than six years old and they are my very first venture into web building. It is like the beginning of my online adventure. From someone who doesn’t know html, I managed to grasp it after learning to make websites using Yahoo page builder.
Then, through the years, I advanced to where I am now. I know a bit of web mastering, web hosting, own several sites, has a virtual private server and make lots of money online.
Now, the end is near. Yahoo Geocities is going to close down all Yahoo Geocities sites. Here is a notice I get :
Important notice: GeoCities is closing.
Dear Yahoo! GeoCities customer,
We’re writing to let you know that Yahoo! GeoCities, our free web site building service and community, is closing on October 26, 2009.
On October 26, 2009, your GeoCities site will no longer appear on the Web, and you will no longer be able to access your GeoCities account and files.
My first Yahoo Geocities site was made by a lady from Texas, USA for me. The second one was made by me. Back then, midi files were like the most awesome thing on earth. Now, we have advanced to videos and even live tv.
Yet, the song ‘Winds Beneath My Wings’ still breaks my heart. So, I won’t be moving anytime soon. I shall wait till September 24th is over before I do that.
Hiaks…Celebrating my first RM30K
If you recognise where this screenshot is taken from, good.
If you don’t, you probably missed one of the best place to make money online in Malaysia.
A cool RM3K is coming this month and also the next. I have made it a point to spend one third of my local income on me, myself, I every month. And I notice I have under-pampered myself because the credit card bill just arrived and I only spent RM1.3K on my credit card bills and most of them are purchases I made for groceries, books and stuffs for my sons.
So, must make it a point to spend more on myself so that I have more motivation to make more money.
I think I could make twice the amount if I have lived in KL because all the goodies go to KL bloggers. Penang bloggers are often passed over because we are not the cool and happening crowd. Another thing is some local advertisers hate me for my political stand. Not that I care, doh…..I won’t change the tune of my blog, everrrr to suit advertisers. Take it or leave it, I don’t really care.
So how much have you made from this company?
Do you 666 or 755?
I have upgraded several blogs to Wordpress 2.8. It is pretty easy when you just need to press the Upgrade button from your Dashboard and leave the whole thing to upgrade itself.
However, my webhost is rather strict with security nowadays because I am too obnoxious LOL. So, I can’t upgrade some of my blogs using the easy way.
So, do you 666 or 755 or even worst 777?
If you don’t know the meaning of these numbers, you are probably :
1) A gambler who only see numbers as lucky numbers that can strike the jackpot
2) You are a good Christian and good Christians don’t like 666
3) You probably own your own domains and hostings but clueless about these numbers and deserve to get hack one of these days
