PayPal Earnings Report #3 at Sunday, March 29, 2009

It has been absolutely crazy in the blogging industry (yes - it has become an industry whether you like it or not). First of all, I lost my PR some months ago and the opportunities online just disappeared. It made me kinda depressed. I used to lose sleep over articles not being finished and payments not being sent to my PayPal account. Good thing my blogs are back in the game and so is my PayPal account. I am happy to report that I still earned some bucks in March 2009:


I know it's not much but hey - it still pays for my cellphone bills (which reminds me I need to pay that next week) plus maybe a couple of other bills and a nice dinner. To date, I have proven that I can really make a lot of money online. The key is to keep blogging and keep accepting opportunities. Here's a breakdown of all the earnings I received through my PayPal account since I started monetizing my blogs:

See what blogging has done to my life? It paid for a lot of bills, bought milk for a couple of babies, paid for my little sister's tuition, and still allowed me to enjoy a few blockbuster movies. Wow! I am looking forward to earning more PikaBucks!

My First PayPal Withdrawal: SUCCESS at Friday, July 18, 2008

I am happy to report that my first PayPal withdrawal to my UnionBank EON card was a success! I withdrew the amount of 204USD on Friday, 11 July. PayPal took out their 5USD withdrawal fee. I was hoping that the money would come in Tuesday or Wednesday because I've read from other blogs that they received their withdrawals after only two business days. Sad for me, it took 5 business days for it to be transferred to my EON account.



I was checking my online account every single day, waiting for the amount to come in. I even checked through the ATM this afternoon and it still wasn't there. As per PayPal's website, the standard withdrawal timeframs is 5-7 business day which means you cannot report a missing withdrawal until after the 7th working day. I was starting to worry but again, it was a success.


Some things I learned from this:

1. You can withdraw the amount even if you have not finished the Expanded Use Process. I did this and what happened was they just deducted the amount I withdrew from my daily withdrawal limit. I do, however, recommend immediate confirmation of your card after you add them to your PayPal account.

2. Stick to the timeframe. The other bloggers might have just been lucky.

PayPal Earnings Report 8 July 2008 at Tuesday, July 08, 2008

Since this is my online journal about making money online, I figured I should have an honest and accurate report on my earnings. Hence, I will start this PayPal Earnings Report this month. To track my earnings, I keep an excel sheet so I will know who paid me, when I'm going to get paid, who hasn't paid yet and how much I've earned from each program I signed up for.

As you can see, my biggest money-making engine is Blogvertise. In fact, I received three payments from them today alone. I am expecting more. To date, I've made almost 400USD and that from writing the first sponsored content in May. I earned my first payment through PayPal the following month.

SocialSpark is my second biggest money-making engine. The reason why I haven't written about it is because I decided to write about these money-making sites once they've paid me through PayPal. Until then, you can read my other post about SocialSpark and IZEA on Boink.

HITS4PAY: Read Emails, Get Paid! at Tuesday, July 08, 2008

When I first heard about getting paid to read emails, I thought it's ludicrous! Who pays to read emails! I looked at my [old] email account with tons of spam emails and said who would pay me to read all of these? Apparently, someone does.

Hits4Pay is one of the legit sites which pay us to read emails. They'll even give you a $10USD sign up bonus! They have a minimum payout requirement of $25USD and they pay through PayPal. The way it works is they'll send you a notification saying you've got mail. When you click on the link, it will redirect you to their site where you need to log into your account and click on some ads. It takes only 30 seconds before they credit $0.02 (US) to your account.

There you go again... Did I just hear you say 2 cents is too freaking small for you? Well, think of it this way: you get to do whatever you want in your life, blog about your life or about any of the opps displayed on PayPerPost, Blogvertise, ReviewMe, or SocialSpark AND you can still have this. It's still another way to earn a few bucks.

First: A Disclaimer at Saturday, June 21, 2008

Hi, my name is Pika. I've been blogging since 2000. I've used other blogging formats like livejournal, blogger, bravejournal, easyjournal, even wordpress. Over the years, I've abandoned my other journals and focused on only two. This will be my 3rd 'active' journal and it is here that I will share my money-making adventure online: the search for the golden nugget.

I'd like to begin with a disclaimer: like I said, I am sharing MY own experience. It'll be great if you'll learn from any of the posts but let me tell you that I'm also new to this kind of business. I don't want to call myself an expert but let's just say I've already earned my first dollar (wink wink) and so I'd like to share how I got my second, third and nth.

My other blogs are BoobooStrider and Boink. Feel free to visit these blogs while I begin writing my posts for this blog.

As for the sponsors you see on this blog, I will talk about each and every one of them really soon.
