Share-a-Pic, Earn $$$ at Wednesday, October 22, 2008

I've heard of getting paid by posting some comments and earning by socializing online. A few months ago, I found a program that lets you earn by simply sharing a picture on your blog! It works just like PhotoBucket or Flickr but way cooler because every time a person views the picture, you earn.

ShareaPic lets you share pictures and earn for views.The pay is smaller though and you may need to have more people clicking to enlarge your photos but it's definitely worth to try. I'll see if this works for me.

If you're interested, you can sign up here.

WidgetBucks is a good alternative too! at Wednesday, October 22, 2008

I've been seeing a lot of bloggers complain about Google Adsense kicking them out. That's sad. Adsense is a good revenue source for most bloggers. However, they have strict rules you should follow. Like not inserting the ads anywhere near other programs.

Good thing is that you have other alternatives for Adsense like WidgetBucks! They have super cool widgets - it's not just the banner ad you see above. They really do have cooler widgets. You get to pick the design and the ads that will be displayed on them. Pick the ones for your target audience.

They currently have a $25 sign-up bonus. Don't hesitate and sign up here now!

10 Reasons Why You're not financially healthy at Tuesday, October 14, 2008

Wow, I am taking some serious lessons from Yahoo! Finance. I'm currently taking a break from my blogging 'business' and will focus more on finances and budgeting since it's one of the major concerns we have today. According to an article on the site, here are the top ten reasons why you are not going anywhere with your finances. I admit I am guilty about some of these. Let's have a look at some of the reasons I picked:

1. You care what your car looks like. While I don't own a car [yet], I can safely say this is a valid reason. Some people spend thousands just to pimp their ride.

2. You feel entitlement. Some people think that you deserve all the nice things in the world even if you cannot afford them. So the only way to get them is to collect debt.

3. You started too late. Some people are excited about a huge paycheck that they forget to save up. It's better to start early than be sorry.

4. You buy what you don't use. Some people like to show off and some are just addicted to spending. People should try to go to the gym or learn a new hobby to stop this disease.

5. You don't understand value. Sometimes, shopping on the 10% off aisle can be an eye-opener.

Where do I keep my money? at Tuesday, October 14, 2008

There's been a lot going on in the financial district lately. Companies are being bought and banks are being merged. Wachovia was bought by Citigroup. Times like these, you'd ask, where is the best place to keep my money?

The answer may be an easy chest in the attic. But it seems that bank deposits are still safe as long as you play your cards right. For example, in the US and same in the Philippines, bank deposits are insured to a certain amount by the Depository Insurance Company. Just don't go over that limit and you should be safe.

According to Yahoo! Finance:

Even though one prominent money fund just broke the buck, Uncle Sam has recently stepped to shore up confidence in these popular cash vehicles. On Sept. 19, the Treasury Department put in placea new guarantee for money funds - essentially a type of FDIC insurance - promising that investors will get $1 back for every $1 invested, with no dollar limit.

The so-called Temporary Guarantee Program will last only three months but can be extended into 2009 if needed. Because it only applies to cash that was in money funds as of Sept. 19 - and since not all money funds will choose to sign up - you still have to do to some homework to stay safe.

So call your money funds to see if they intend to purchase this government insurance. Also, stick with financial firms such as Vanguard, Fidelity and American Funds that have the financial resources to preserve the $1 share value in their funds.

And don't "stretch" for yield. The average yield for taxable money funds is 1.9%. If you see one whose yield is much higher, that could be a sign that it's taking too many risks.

Withdraw to bank option for PayPal at Wednesday, September 17, 2008

My first PayPal withdrawal was no doubt successful. It took exactly 5 business days to transfer $200 to my bank account. My second withdrawal was also a success. I transferred $55 and it took the same amount of time for it to get to my bank. After using PayPal for quite sometime now, I totally forgot that I have been using a more expensive way of transferring money. I have been using their transfer to card option, which charges me $5 per transfer. I should have been using the Withdraw to Bank option instead as it charges a lower fee of PHP50.

The best part is that it only takes three days to transfer the money! I am guessing it's one business day for PayPal and two business days for my bank. It's much faster and costs less.

Simple SEO tip: Keyword Suggestion Tool at Monday, September 15, 2008

If you want to get massive hits, there's a science that's called Search Engine Optimization or SEO. I am personally not adept at this. I've read a lot of things about it and how people have made thousands of dollars because of it. Unfortunately, I haven't had enough time and inspiration to study SEO tips and tricks. I think some of the videos I've watched online are too geeky -- they need to break it down for some folks like me who don't know a thing about it.

Luckily, there are some bloggers out there who know a thing or two about SEO. One of them is Mike from Mike's Money-Making Mission. He shared with his readers this site which allows you to search for the most searched keywords online.

For example: (Click the photos to enlarge) These screenshots show you how I searched for the keywords for 'make money'. It shows us that 'ways for teens to make money' is the most searched phrase online today. You can start using this so if people google this phrase, there is a big chance that your blog will come up and the hits will follow.

Easy right?

LinkWorth - Oh, I'm a Member? at Friday, September 12, 2008

It's fun when you log into your account and find numerous opportunities to tale. But IMHO, it's more fun when they contact you because an advertiser is interested in hiring your services! That's the kind of email I got from LinkWorth. I didn't even realize I was still a member until they emailed me last week about writing for an advertiser.

Luckily, this was what I would consider a high-dollar post. And it got approved only hours after I posted it!

LinkWorth is very much similar to PayPerPost or Blogvertise. The only difference is that they have a wider variety of money-making avenues - they have textlink ads, sponsored posts, and many more. You should check them out here. They pay through PayPal but there is a minimum payout amount. It's definitely another way for teens to make money.

The best things in life are free! at Monday, August 25, 2008

While I am busy making money through several online money-making schemes, my good friend Iwene is busy helping others through her blogsite. It's called For Free.. or close to it! where people can find out how to get some stuff for free! Yes, it's true. You can still get some freebies despite this time of the decade.


A lot of people are thanking her for putting up such site. In a small amount of time, she was able to increase the number of members in her MyBlogLog community! Talk about finding your niche in the blogosphere.

There are a lot of offers to choose from. All you need to do is find time to participate because it doesn't mean that the free stuff will just be handed over to you just like that. Some would require you to answer surveys or take part in some online activity. It won't take much of your time and if you are serious about getting the stuff for free, you'll do whatever it takes to get them.

SnapBomb just remembered to pay me =) at Sunday, August 24, 2008

This is pretty exciting. Two months ago, I took the risk and signed up for SnapBomb even though the terms and conditions clearly state I will get paid after 60 days. Yes, no kidding. While most programs would pay twice a week or after 30 days, Snapbomb paid me after two freaking months. I almost did not work on the opportunities they sent me but I said what the heck. And here it is:
