Losing Interest On Monetizing This Blog

I assume you're new here, check out the best posts from this blog. Also you may want to get free lifetime updates from this blog RSS feed. Thanks for visiting and enjoy your stay!

So today marks the last day for about 4 ad placements in this blog and obviously they wouldn’t want to renew anymore. Many people who buy the book I created about monetizing make money online blogs usually ask me how I manage to make that amount of money with this blog. The truth is I do have *other* make money online blogs that have lesser readership, yet makes more money than this one. As always, I do believe this blog is more of a personal blog rather than a niche site so I monetize it depending on my mood. Btw back to those other blogs, I believe I have purchased them a couple of years back (some are last year), and had a great deal with a superb freelancer w/c happened to be also a great friend of mine. To keep it short, I do basically outsource everything as much as I can.

Back to this blog, when I started this I always dreamed of like kinda making $1000 with it someday. But as time goes on I did realize that blogging is more fun when you use it spontaneously rather than pressuring yourself trying to maximize its potential. Luckily, letting the flow go natural still made this blog earn three figures a month. Honestly I really I don’t care that much (unlike before) if this blog earns or what or not. I’m just more elated to have a couple hundred of readers reading this blog everyday, happy to have people commenting, glad spammers keep on spamming me and for me it’s what makes me keep blogging despite all other profitable projects I have currently (and the fucking intern as well).

Anyways just sharing, I know some of you can connect with me. Who knows? Maybe after quite some time, I would realize what direction this blog is going profit wise. And to consider, who doesn’t love passive income?

Is There Such A Thing As Overrated Blogs?

When blogging started almost a decade ago, no one really perceived it as something ‘useful’. Since blogs are just diaries that convey confessions and love stories, a lot of people don’t pay too much attention to it. Fast forward, blogs now have become a source for useful informations, a must-read if you’re going to make a decision or going to do something. Because of its evolution, people are now putting a high expectations in it. If you started a blog the right way, then all of a sudden get stucked with stuffs and started posting those ‘oh so personal’ posts, then people would now call you and your blog OVERRATED. Nowadays, people always EXPECT something.

Over the years a lot of what used to be good blogs are getting started to be labeled as overrated blogs. Name it, techcrunch.com, time.com, icanhazcheeseburger and plenty more others… The criteria for them is simple for ruling out that a blog is overrated. If a blog is well-trafficked, has a ton of good press around the internet yet its not really showing up good content for what it gets, then it’s easy to label the blog as overrated. For example shoemoney.com is a famous blog for this niche. It gets a ton of comments per post, sold out ad spots and humongous rss list. But it hardly (varies for different type of people) gives out helpful tips that are related to internet marketing (maybe except now, because he started the x thing membership).  Does that make it overrated? You judge!

I have a mixed take on these so-called overrated blogs and the whole concept of this overrated thing. After all they are only blogs. And blogs aren’t required at all to post useful/helpful content right? It’s also not their problem that they got famous for posting personal stuffs or pictures of cat.s After all it seems like blogging goes back to what it really is before content-wise. Just play w/the game of blogging… My piece of advice as always is that never ever claim to be an authority. Unless you can commit to it for life..

How bout you? What are the blogs that you think are overrated? You think yours is overrated? or mine?

How to Kill Yourself in Internship

Well probably a lot of you guys know that I have not posted for over a week because I am having an internship for the final school year of my college life. And to be honest it’s so toxic that I cannot even go out and tweet my balls in twitter and do facebook stuffs. To make it worst, I forgot that one of my test campaigns have almost ran for a week, getting me no conversion and over $50 in clicks!

Well if you don’t know, I am taking my intern (surprisingly) here in one of the biggest hospital in the country. I (and a friend named Kat) were associated with the IT-tech department in w/c we do techy stuffs (instead of doing programming w/c is what my course was really about). Actually its kinda scary because its been said that there are a ton of a(h1n1) cases in the hospital. Sometimes we were asked to pullout a computer from an infection control department and sometimes from the ER w/c is sick. But that doesn’t stop there, the hardest and most stressing  part of the intern is the travel. It takes about 3 hours for me to arrive to that place and all in all 6 hours. As I arrived home, the only statement I can express is ”rest”.

GUEST POSTERS

Nuff said, as you see I can’t even make a post in a week so I am looking for quality and quirky guest posts over the week. The requirements are literally almost non-existing. As long as you think your post can please me then go ahead send it to me. Thus far I get 200+ uniques a day and 600 pageviews. I do also get an average of 16 comments per post. For those who are interested kindly save the wordpress html version of your post in notepad, then send it to my email melvin[at]melvinblog.com or by using the contact form. That’s it for now gotta take my rest.
