Yup. I just received my October earnings today via Paypal. What a good way to start my day. Here is the payment screen shot:

I went to Ponciana’s Kitchen at Timog Ave. corner Sct. Torillo, QC to attend the awards night of the Filipina Writing Project organized by Ms. Janette Toral. I’m so lucky I won the following:

Eversince I posted my Kontera check, I’ve received several questions about it from fellow bloggers via YM and e-mail. I’ve answered them one by one, of course, but to make it easier for me in the future, here are their questions and my answers:

I’ve been running Adbrite ads on my text messages blog for more than a year now. I just put the ad code there, checked the earnings from time to time on the first few months, and after seeing that it’s not giving me much money, I just forgot about it. But I did not remove [...]

I just received my first Kontera check last Saturday. It is an accumulated earnings from February up to September. Yeah, the earnings are not that big that it took 8 months before I reached the minimum payout amount of $100. Anyway, $100 is still $100. If you’re curious of what a Kontera check looks like, [...]

I was actually planning to say goodbye to Widgetbucks next month after my earnings decreased dramatically when they implemented their new policy. What used to be a $20+ per week earnings dropped to $3+ per week!

Build traffic, optimize ads. That’s the formula for success as stated by John Chow.
Let me use some pictures to show you how I did it …

Widgetbucks just announced that as a means to make their advertisers happy, they will no longer credit clicks coming from countries other than USA and Canada!
Let me quote their official blog post:

I was about to make a blog post last night about getting one-way links. I already finished the draft, everything was setup, all I have to do is to open my Wordpress account and copy-paste the article when suddenly, my internet connection was gone. I called Smart Bro and the woman on the other line [...]

Checking my Widgetbucks account today, I could see that they made great changes on the account reporting page. Now, I could see how much my referrals are earning and how much commission I’m getting from them in real time.

Since I already have 29 Widgetbucks referral, I think, it’s best for me to share what I’m doing that despite having a non-shopping niche blogs, I am still earning from Widgetbucks. So far, I already earned $54 on this since I joined, excluding the $25 signing bonus. So, that’s already $79 in total. One of [...]

Since Widgetbucks only started this month, nobody received a payment yet. According to their Terms Of Use Article 6. b, “Mpire will pay Publisher Payment for the previous month’s activity within forty-five (45) days of the end of each month, subject to a monthly minimum of U.S. $50.00.” So, what does this mean?

Aside from Google Adsense, I joined the following program and already earned some decent amount from them.

After a week of putting Widgetbucks on my blogs, I can finally conclude that the switch I made from Amazon to Widgetbucks is the right decision.

The traffic was light on EDSA during the Pacquiao-Barrera fight. On the contrary, the traffic on this blog quadrupled during that fight night. I got 4000+ unique visitors on October 6 (US Time) and 3000+ on the next day.

After more than a year of having Amazon ads all over my blogs, I finally concluded that it is not worth the ad space. People are clicking on the ads, but no one is buying, so, how could I earn from them? Yes, I really suck at pay-per-action programs.

Yes, I agree, the Mel and Joey report regarding blogging is hyped. You cannot really earn that much money from blogging overnight. It took months and even years before the featured bloggers got their truckloads of dollars.

I just saw the Mel And Joey commercial today. It seems that the interview with Yuga and Angelo will be finally aired this coming Sunday (August 19, around 7:30PM on GMA 7).

BlogToProfit usually gives bloggers 10 link assignments to be accomplished within one week. The cost of each link varies depending on the value of your blog. For this blog, each link costs Php 200.
Now, how do you accomplish your link assignments? How much time does it take you to finish all of those links? One [...]

It’s final, unlike TLA and Reviewme, Auction Ads pay via Paypal only, and they didn’t entertain my petition for payment via Xoom using Paypal.
