Blogging For Money

It took an incident like this to actually force me to go out and replace my monitor to a LCD screen at last. Actually I wanted to hold it off until August, where I plan to go out and get a new system along with a LCD screen. But in light of the emergency, I guess it cannot be helped.

And I bought this for RM595.00, all of that came from the money I earned solely from blogging.

What was inside in the box? Well, this is now sitting proudly on my table now.

Congratulations, I knew that you would do it sooner or later. I only wonder why you did not do it earlier, thats all, considering your success as a blogger for the past few months or so. With Hong Kiat, it was not a matter of if and why but when.

Maybe those of us who are going for blogging full-time and earning money from it should form some sort of association. Association of Probloggers?

I went to PayPal just now, thinking of initiating a “funds transfer” withdrawal to my VMI card. Instead, I was greeted with this message:

Sigh, they could have warned us earlier. Now I have to wait until everything goes back up again.

The free WordPress theme that I mentioned previously has been coded and you can see the demo here. The name of the theme is Emporium Business Theme.

The WP theme is 3-columns, widget-ready and works in WP 2.2. It will be released very soon, I hope. You will be able to download the file at this blog as well as other places that will be announced at a later date.

One day, when the time is right for me and I have enough to earn, I would probably buy a real estate property with a beach-front as a “vacation house” if I want to go there with my family. That, plus the fact that it makes good business sense to do so as a long-term investment (renting it out with a high price comes to mind). The coastal real estate market is booming, so Baja Real Estate properties would be a good idea to take a look at. Many beach-front real estate properties are for sale there, specifically in the Baja California area.

Buy a house in Baja and you can use it as a vacation home to take your mind off work. After all, what is there to lose when you take the time off and get away from the stress of regular life? There is a long list of Baja Real Estate Listings that are available for sale, it will no doubt make you be spoilt for choice. Ah, the dream of staying in a beautiful Baja villa sure entices me. I am sure she would like it. If I have more money, I would go for Mexico Real Estate.

Okay, enough daydreaming. Getting back to blogging for money now.

For those who initially take up painkillers regularly, they might think that it is okay to do so because painkillers are over-the-counter “harmless” drugs. Without knowing it, they eventually become addicted to those drugs. Drug abuse is basically an obsession and when obsession strikes, it becomes something more which you cannot solve on your own. Obviously the only solution is to go for counselling and professional guidance in order to end drug abuse but where does one turn to in order to be rehabilitated? You attend a drug addiction treatment at a centre called Cliffside Malibu, of course. Located in Malibu (obviously), Cliffside Malibu is a drug rehab treatment centre which provides patients with a condusive environment and experts that will help them undergo treatment to be cured of their drug addiction.

If you know anyone who requires immediate attention, send them to Cliffside Malibu.

I have been trying out Kontera for a few months now but the result has not exactly been encouraging. Partly my fault, because I only put up the code on one blog (i.e., my blog) although I added several websites and blogs to Kontera! The reason is that sometimes the Kontera ads can be quite intrusive. As a matter of fact, I was forced to remove the Kontera ad from this website after receiving some complaints from the readers.

Since that particular incident, I was too lazy to even bother with the programme.

However, reading this post by LiewCF is giving me second thoughts. Maybe I should put the Kontera codes on my websites/blogs and experiment with the colours and stuff. I’m not really in it for the money since paid blogging is no doubt the most lucrative for me, but it does not hurt to have a little experience with Kontera.
