Why am I addicted to blogging…
I had a thought last night. I resisted Reyna Elena’s invitation for me to blog for a very long time. I remember how excited she gets whenever her ranking among Global Top Blogs or Top Pinoy Blogs would go up. It became a good source of stress-reliever for her. But for me, it was supposed to be a personal diary. I started my first blog way back on October 14, 2005 and I know how tedious and time-consuming it could be so I continued to resist Reyna on her request. I have had Google Adsense for along time as well that is running on my online store but I had nothing to show for it because I only have a few cents earned from that. Nothing exciting. And besides, I am still in school and really didn’t have the time to put into blogging.
Then, one AHA moment happened. I started visiting Reyna’s blog and started providing comments on her hilarious posts. I met some really good friends and I thought, it would be nice for them to get to know me as well so I started Chuvachienes.com.
In just a few weeks, after putting it up – my blog earned $6.43 USD from adsense which got me excited. Writing a blog can earn you money? I had no idea!! So, I started reading blogs after blogs and that’s where I discovered Shoemoney, John Chow, and Problogger. I saw that there was a potential to make this something that can earn me money while doing what I enjoy. I have been blogger ever since. There were lots to learn but I managed through the help of fellow bloggers.
My first revenue stream from blogging was Google Adsense. To date, I have earned $317.67. I am on my way to receiving my THIRD check from Google.
Then I started looking for other ways to create income. Remember, multiple streams of income means relying on many streams and not one sole revenue stream. I discovered Pay Per Post through Reyna’s blog so I applied. That was a very long time ago and I have even forgotten about it. Until, recently Diwa called me and ask me to apply because of the potential that she saw in earning $$ from writing. I tried to apply and it told me that I already have an existing account. I logged in only to find out that I have Opportunities (topics to write about) waiting for me. I chose a $6.00 opportunity and it was approved within days. That was the 8th of June. To date, my total potential earnings is up to approximately $600.00USD. All you need is a paypal account and you can get started today!
As time went on, I didn’t realize all the money-making opportunities I had signed up for when I started blogging. I discovered that I am also approved for Review Me! I have taken campaigns from $5.00 to $20.00 campaigns in the past. I have four of my blogs approved fore review me so I constantly have something to write about. What’s best about them is that they pay you monthly. Any posts that you did within the month that was approved will be paid for before the 4th of each month. That was cool too!
To date, I have been paid a total of $51.00 from Review me.
So, my question is – what are you waiting for? I have a few responses on my poll that says they want to earn money while blogging. Let’s get started peeps!! There are lots of money to be made and I am not kidding!!
Good luck and do leave me comments if you have any questions! Cheers!
