earnings update

Hey, it's been a long, long time since I last visited this site. Hmmm....I am going to give you an update of the earnings I have from my online activities here. It's not much, but it's something that you might want to also do during your free time:

Helium ---- $20.69 (payout is $25.00 via Paypal)

Mylot ---- $ 2.28 (mini payout is $10.00 via Paypal every 15th of
each month)

Google Adsense-- $ 52.04 (payout is $100 via Western Union or Check)

Clixsense ---- $0.75 (pays at $10 by check)

I know that there are a lot of other moneymaking sites there but I haven't explored them yet. In the meantime, I'm doing some discussions now at Mylot.

Mylot gives me more than Adsense

Google adsense today is not very good. There are days when there are no clicks. Mylot is a lot, lot better because for only a few discussions you're sure to get something a lot better than a cent. Those who wish to sign up with Mylot,you may do so anytime.

economic crunch

They say it's the worst economic depression in the US and maybe just of the many in poorer countries like the Philippines. We'd always been in depression since time immemorial. Was there ever a time when the Philippines climbed a notch higher from its usual economic perch? No, it's always been down there, there seems to be no place else for falling. So when rich countries start ranting about their bad economies, we're like "really"? We seem not to tell the difference. We'd always been there, so it's like, "Crunch? Okey."

a New Year and a zero

What a way to start the New Year. I checked adsense and found that not a click, not even a cent was added to my account during the New Year. Oh boy.

not even halfway near Google payout

Ho-hum...seems like this is the longest wait for us. Visitors clicking ads are as rare as my grampa's teeth. Like in my most visited site, I get sometimes over a hundred visitors a day but nobody clicks the ads or rare are the times when a cent or two is added to one's Google earnings. One's site needs to be really popular to have something like passive income from adsense.

thanks for the pat

A visitor recently left a message which inspired me to make this post. Thanks for that much-needed pat on the back. Really, of the four blogs I maintain, this is the one which is getting the least number of visitors. LOL. Anyway, my most visited blog to date is no longer my www. offbeatmom.blogspot.com but my www.coolkidsparty.blogspot.com I already get more than a hundred visits there a day. To me, this is something.

really surprising

For the past couple of days I'd been wondering why I got zero clicks from Google adsense. This is really surprising since I would usually get some cents in a day and never got zero earnings in a row. I had visitors on these days so it is really disheartening to know that Google earnings these days have really become very little or nothing.

Poker?

I got an invitation to join this site that hosts poker. I must be the dumbest person not to know how this game is played, but to be honest, I really don't know of any gambling games so that makes me weird to some who are into this kind of "recreation" or preoccupation. I am so sorry that I should be the last person you should ask about gambling.MInd you, I am not saying this with a poker face.

check coming from clixsense

Hey! Guess what? When I logged in to my http://www.clixsense.com/?2144411 account I was surprised to see that my earnings there had been mailed and they're coming my way! It is not much but I am not also doing much here, right? All I need to do is click the ads sent to me and I get paid. Finally, I am going to receive my first check from http://www.clixsense.com/?21444411 If you are interested, please get the link I have just given and be a member.

oil price in the world market drops

It is good to hear that the price of oil per barrel has continued to drop significantly over the past several months. This, after the prices of commodities have shot up and it seems like there is no going back or going down for all the price increases of basic goods. While it is true that the price of gas has gone down, it still has not gone down to the level of its original price before the crazy increases. Why? This is really hurting the consumers because businessmen who jacked the prices indiscriminately as a result of the oil price increases, are no longer willing to go down despite the dramatic drop of oil price in the world market.

the dollalr is getting stronger everyday

We notice that recently the dollar has consistently climbed against the peso. To dollar-earners, this is good news but to those earning the lowly peso, it means that the buying power of the peso is dropping. It is time to do some real dollar-earning tasks here. I hope google will also up its adsense payouts.

google earning is so darn slowwww.....

I don't know when we are going to get the next google payout since earnings are so so so slow. Visitors, hits, traffic. I know that these are the main ingredients to the success of the game. But how, how, how in the world do we get people to visit and bring in the hits? Of course, a good and worthwhile site matters a lot here, so.

global food crisis

There is global food crisis. It means that only those with money can afford to buy the sky-high priced food. Those with very little or even nothing will have to struggle finding food to put on the table.

In our country though the crisis is primarily focused on rice shortage. Why? For one, there's overpopulation. More mouths to feed against poor rice production. What a shame. If you look around you in the Philippines especially in rural areas you will find vast tracts of idle lands. Yes, acres and acres of idle lands are lying there unplanted, unproductive, not doing anything. It's a shame that we should be having rice crisis. What is the government doing to make sure that these unproductive lands are made useful for the benefit of the Filipino people. CARP is not the answer because we are talking about IDLE lands, lands lying around with only useless bushes and grasses. We're not talking about lands already tilled by farmers but big lands that are untouched and thus wasted while we complain of not having enough rice and importing rice from other countries. What a shame! We are so poor, lazy and stupid!

the rice crisis

The rice crisis in the Philippines has caused panic especially among the "have nots". So everybody's talking about it now. Media have nothing in them but the rice crisis and nothing more! So what happened to the ZTE deal now? All forgotten? Everybody's attention is on the rice crisis. Is this real or just another tactic to divert people's attention away from the hot graft and corruption issue involving billions of dollars. Why can't we see the connection between this rice crisis and the ZTE and other deals? We as a people always have the tendency to look at fragments. We usually fail to look at the bigger picture and the possible connections between this problem and that problem.

I was at the wet market this morning and witnessed for the first time the seriousness of the "problem". A long, long line of people were lined up to buy rice from government-subsidized rice outlets. At the moment the beings in power seem to probably feel so powerful for being able to "save" majority of the population from hunger by providing the only cheap rice available. Again, my question remains: Is the President involved in the many corrupt "deals"?

Come on, let us not be confused. There is rice and food for those who labor. But let us finish what we have started---to search for truth until we get it.

I don't think so...

When the dollar's value against the peso depreciates, our president would always say this is a good sign for our economy. I don't think so. HOw can we feel that when we are only in the Philippines and not using dollars to buy goods? Maybe when we go out and have our money changed into dollars so we can buy stuff there, then we can say our money is indeed getting stronger. But to ordinary pinoys like the rest of us, the devaluation of the dollar against the peso does not really improve anything. It only makes life harder for many Filipinos who only depend on family members sending them dollars every month. I am not an economist or a financial expert but it does not need much common sense to put two and two together.

Money vs. happiness

Would you rather have much money but depressed for no reason? Or one with barely enough to get by everyday but always has a smile for everybody?

I bet I know your answer. For there comes a time in a person's life when he'd wish to give up all his material possessions in favor of one thing---be it health or family.

We are living in a very complicated world that we oftentimes mistake the tree for the forest. We think that we are looking at the big picture when we have actually narrowed our vision to what we can only get by means of material possession.

Happiness is something that money can't buy. You can have the fattest bank account in the whole world but if you have your health to worry about everyday, then it'd make you wish you didn't have a single penny if only to have the best of health. Money has its own strange way of finding an outlet. Think about that.

alleluiah!

At last, finally, reached it! You probably know what I mean.....hmmmmm...after many months of waiting....we have finally reached the minimum payout.

The sad thing is, we'll have to labor many more months for the next payout. Yikes! Waiting can be the most unwelcome thing in the world. How does one accelerate one's Google earnings?

almost there

Hooooo...waiting for it to reach payout is like eternity, but we're almost there----after many months! Hooooh...it's just a matter of a few cents now before payout so we hope to make it this month.

Really. Google earnings aren't easy to come by. There is a lot of waiting and patience involved. Hmmmm....how do we move this thing fast? Suggestions please?

all because of money

Funny how our political leaders are now in hot water because of money. I am talking about the ZTE broadband deal in the Philippines which was supposed to rake in a pool of money for those political leaders involved in this scam and which now is bringing nightmares and shame to them and their family.

Imagine one political leader getting so angry because he said he was only protecting his $4-$5 million commissions! Commissions in millions of dollars for a single deal? Won't you fry in hell because of this? Picture the billions of people who are hungry and who could not get decent meals a day and these people want to only enrich themselves and swim in a pool of money! It's a shame.

so damn ignorant, it's so sad

How come people are so damn ignorant regarding the value of advertising? Not in your part of the world but in this blessed town where I'm at, advertising for most of these people who need it is just like something that had to be forced on them because they don't need it. Huh? That is why our economy is moving so slow. That is why we're not improving nor getting anywhere. If our business people do not understand that advertising is a part and segment of marketing, then it's the end of the entertainment industry. It's a good thing that there are those who know and are now enjoying the fruits of having their businesses engraved in their consumers' consciousness and subconscious via advertising.
