Giveaways

Thank You Sponsors!

by Melvin · Jul 28, 2008

I have been thinking since last week to have a “thank you sponsor” page and since I have sponsors I think this one really worths it. Besides I think they deserve it because they have trusted this site even when this was with no pr before and a little traffic. So I would like to give them appreciation by making a blog post with a little description w/them.

Ad Blocks

– FreshBooks is an online invoicing and time tracking service that saves you time and makes you look professional – Fortune 500 professional. I have used it before and it’s highly recommended.
– is a site that teaches and gives some starting lessons on internet marketing. The site looks a “get rich quick” site but I think this still worths a look.
– Is a fellow blog that is not a make money online. Instead it focuses on marketing, blog design, blogging tips and SEO. One of the blogs I read before I sleep.
– A incentive site that pays people to complete offers. They also pay 20% for referral commissions

Text Links

Top Pick Work From Home – Basically a site of what its name suggests. There are tons of work from home opportunities there so if you feel lazy about having office then this one worths a look.
Get Paid For Posting – The forum that pays you for posting. It’s a great opportunity for people wanting to earn residual money or startup income.
Seo Services – Seo company that provides SEO services to those who do not know anything about SEO
Website Templates – A startup site that is making and designing templates for your website.
Nursing Board Exam Results – A site with the results of Nursing Board Exams here in Philippines. You might think this one is not related but it is. I am a Filipino and the 4th most country that refers traffic is the Philippines

As you can see not all are advertisers. Some are affiliate links but they are not too many. In the future, I would consider hosting the ads with my own server. I am settinh up Openads now and it should be up by next month. How about you? Do you value your advertisers?

I’m Making Money Online

by Melvin · Jul 7, 2008

Update: I am still accepting sponsors, so if you are godly then you can contact me

Back to the days when I was starting out my venture on making money online, friends usually ask me “What the heck are you doing bro?” I normally respond and say “Im trying to make money online. They didn’t mind and never asked a follow up questions anymore.

So some time early this year and recently I was showing them some checks and moneys from affiliate programs and my records on paypal and that’s the only time they have got interested into what I am doing. Problem is, they ask me now seriously. How did you do it? How are you doing it? How can I do it also? Can I also get rich doing that? I respond by saying “I do affiliate marketing, I promote other people’s product and get paid by commissions”. Then they respond with so many many more follow up questions. Because for them it’s hard to understand technical terms such as CPA, CPL, Adwords, Squeeze page and so. Now I want to ask you guys, how would you explain this to someone who knows literally nothing about internet marketing. I mean when they ask you “How do you make money online and how can I too?” How can you answer them (meaningful answer that would enlighten them and not confuse them) in less than 5 sentences?

Ok, actually this one is a little contest. Everyone is running big contest just to boost their feeds and I don’t want to be the same with them. This one is just a small contest with very small prices (can’t even see them). And here are the prices first:

2 copies of how a newbie could make “$500 a month in affiliate marketing sponsored by Simple Cash Blog.
1 copy of the “Atomic blogging ebook” which I have won in the contest
Mega PLR package hosted by Me… 😉
Update 3 links for 1month free from Zigtur
Adsense Profit Unleashed by Zigtur Again
2 125X125 ads at the sidebar
5 text-links at the sidebar

As you can see I did not even include the price for the prizes. Let the quality do the talking. 😉 You see, just a very little contest that benefits other people and great value of prices. What do you have to do to get points?

Answer the question – Obviously this is what the contest is all about, right? This would not benefit me, but others who have very little knowledge of this one. Only 1 answer please. 5 points + 5 to the best answer.
Stumble this post – Obviously I was getting very little traffic from social media except reddit so maybe you can help me. 3 points
Linkback from this one – 2 points

As you can see I didn’t even include you subscribing to my feed because I know you guys are subscribed. But if you aren’t the best way to give back is to subscribe to my feed. Another way of gaining points also is by signing here (available only to United States and Canada)

Partner With paul – 5 points

That’s it. Everything would be randomized and the higher the points the better the chances of winning. 10 winners will be taken and I will post the result here next week since my exams are pretty close. Goodluck to everyone and happy blogging… 😉

I Forgot The Top Commenters!

by Melvin · Jul 2, 2008

Everyone in the blogosphere seems to be talking about the launch of Blogging Idol. Of course I know everyone is getting themselves ready to launch their attacks to gain rss subscribers. I’m not gonna talk about the competition. Today I am giving something away to the top commentators last month. As you may have remembered I told you that I’m giving something for those people who have commented even w/an almost unseen comment form. So I just feel they deserve to get credited for doing so. So here are the top commenters for last month

As you can see, the criteria of top commenters is based per month. BUT it isn’t just end there. I have an algorithm done by a friend that detects people who are just running up their comments. As I have said before I’m not strict in comments but of course I don’t tolerate trolls. Another thing to add is that I have the editorial decision to remove a commentator who is sporting a spammy keyword. That’s why I always believe that when you put a comment, then you might as well want your name to get credited for it. For winners to claim your prizes shoot me a mail or a comment stating you’re email address. Don’t forget to put [@] to avoid spam on your inbox.

And before I forgot of course, everyone is doing it so do I. I’m not forcing you but see I can say I have something to be proud of my content. You can say I’m great, I’m sloppy, I’m lazy, I’m not ugly, but the best thing you can do is say nothing and subscribe to my feed. 😉
