~~I am "BLOG BROKE"~~

No more paid reviews to do for the last.... err....let me recall.. maybe around 3 weeks. Since this blog of mine turned PR0, advertisers also stopped coming...My "business" season has dwindled down to almost NIL this month. That is why I said "blog broke" but thankful that I am not really broke since I still have an office to go to. :)

No more paid reviews means no more extra pocket money to enjoy spending. I remember the first time I received payment of $30, i made a huhuhaha. After that, it gradually increased and I said to myself, "if one month I can earn $150 monthly, i m very satisfied." :)

Well, with the "extra income", it is a extra blessing... Without, it is also a blessing, now I can still blog leisurely without feeling pressured to finish within a target time and date. But I cannot deny that it is also very thrilling to write paid posts and feeling the money increasing each day ... :)

Though nowadays "empty", I still feel the "fulfillment" whenever I do a post and published it in my blog, the feeling of "contentment" too when you, my fellow bloggers come by to read and comment.

Money or No Money, it is still Blissful Blogging for me! How about U?

Mr. G doesnt like paid posts, u didnt do at all, so he likes u.. hey, i m not joking, it works that way..as for mine, i will just keep on blogging, with or without page ranking. If got showers of blessings, it is a bonus, that is all.. hehee..

  12. That is the downside of taking paid post. I try not to get involve in those thing to maintain my PR, which I think is important to get traffic

  13. Paid or not, I will blog.. it is the contentment to have readers and to know you're sharing your happiness, sadness, anger, or any other information to the friends in cyber world.

    Of course to get money out of blogging is good, but the most important is the feeling that we feel. :)

  18. claire, PPP is really for those who got PR , but if you have 0 rank in PR there is another way

    Try to check if your RR REAL RANK by Social Spark is really working. If you have lower like below 1,500 RR, you still can get more opps even your PR is zero.

    You know very well that my PR is zero right? But, my RR is okay . I need to get back to 800.

    Just check your rank in IZEARANKS.com okay? Goodluck Claire.

    try Reviewme.com too

  24. ha ha ha, i've been approached to do reviews specially by restaurants because i write AND i take my own pictures, but so far i haven't really given it serious thought and i don't know how to ask them to pay me for it. so how did you start? maybe one day i'll think about it seriously. ha ha ha
