Online Money Matters

Advertisement

I have used the internet and I have known about blogs for many years but it was only during the first few months of this year that I became interested in earning money online. I started my first blog last February because of two reasons: first, I wanted to see if money could really come through it; second, I wanted to have a website of my own where I could make use of my writing. Back then the only way I knew about earning money online was through Google Adsense and Adbrite so I filled my blog with ads. After two months my blog averaged $0.02 a day in income. This was bad news. All the effort I exerted for two months only gave me that trickle. So I read a lot of books about how to make the most out of Adsense but to no avail. The highest that I got in daily earnings was $0.26 in one day. I realized that Adsense and Adbrite are for bloggers who get thousands of hits a day. New bloggers struggling to make it to at least 35 hits a day would have to find other means of making money online. Then I stumbled upon Berry Blog and there I learned about paid posts. It so happened that the author of this blog was very much open about sharing what she knew about it. He enthusiam in blogging and earning through it was infectious. I learned about SocialSpark and PayPerPost from her. I found out later that I came quiet late into this thing, PPP started two years earlier. Where was I when this thing started? Why haven't I heard about it when it first came out? Fortunately the blogs I submitted to PPP and SocialSpark were accepted and I started to really feel the dollars coming in. I enjoyed it a lot because I like writing about things that are of interest to me. Most of the paid post I did for SocialSpark happened to be in the area of my interests so it was easy writing for me. I was happy to type away 200 to 300 words in about 15 minutes and get $5 to $15 for it a month later. There were good days when I get three opportunities from SocialSpark and it fetched me $20. It was easy money. My earnings mostly came from SocialSpark. I soon discovered other paid to post sites like SponsoredReviews.com and BuyBlogReviews.com .

So I have proven to my self that a blogger could really harvest money from the net. I told my officemates about it but their ignorance got them. They did not believe what I was babbling about. They listen politely while I excitedly shared to them how I earned online but I saw it in their eyes that they did not believe me. They view the internet as a dangerous place to connect your credit card to. So I stopped telling them and enjoyed silently the money that came in every two weeks.

Now I am starting this blog to chronicle my journey deeper into the world of internet money harvesting. As of now I am exploring other online money making possibilities other than having paid posts. Every time I learn about a new way of earning money online I will post it here so that people like me would learn about it and earn their share too. If you are a very novice blogger I am sure that you already got something in this first post. I am sure that as soon as you finish reading this paragraph you will head directly to the links I have supplied above. Here's a tip: SocialSpark is best for newbies with blogs that are at least three months old. Your PageRank could be n/a or PR0 but still you would have a fair chance of snatching an opp from them and writing about it. Another tip: with PayPerpost and SponsoredReviews and BuyBlogReviews you will have an edge if your blog has a domain of its own, there are more opportunityies for blogs with own domain. I have posted an article about the best webhosting and domain name registrars in my other blog so you can read about it. Domain registration is very cheap, I both domain names for this blog and my other blog from 1and1.
