Blogging For Money

I’m starting to do paid blogging for PayPerPost again at full power after a month’s absence (no thanks to that lousy ISP we all love to hate). I lost nearly USD 800 worth of income last month from paid blogging with PPP but I think I can mitigate the loss if I fill up the PayPerPost alloted slots to each of my blogs for the whole month. Theoretically, that would mean that since I have six blogs accepted into PayPerPost, and if I were able to grab USD5 posts for all the slots, that would mean 6 blogs x 3 slots x USD 5 = USD 90 per day, which would amount to 90 x 30 days = USD 2700 a month.

See how much money I am sitting on now?

Theoretically speaking lah. Since I am not a machine and I certainly won’t be able to fill up the slots in the blogs, I would be lucky if I could even get half of that amount.

I entered Bismika Allahuma for the Webmaster Malaysia Website Awards for good design and quality content sometime ago, and the results show that the site has won the Platinum Award.

So voila, here it is.

I will place this in the Bismika Allahuma website very soon. Its an honour to have been considered for the award, and I thank the panel of judges for choosing it. We will strive to bring quality comparative religion material to the masses and in the process, bring about the eventual destruction of that pseudo-monotheist religion.

I was really worried that they would think that my transactions are invalid or anything of the sort but it looks like PayPal has accepted the fact that I am not a fraudster and that I conduct honest transactions online. I received this email in my inbox a few minutes ago.

Dear Mohd Elfie Nieshaem Juferi,

Our review is complete and we have restored your account.

We appreciate your patience and thank you for your help in making PayPal the safest and most trusted online payment solution.

Sincerely,
PayPal

I am going to do the isthikaraah prayers thanking God Almighty for this.

Either TMNet is really, really incompetant, or Allah Almighty wants to test my patience, or I must be cursed or something. Or it could be all three at once, who knows.

In any case, the DSL light to my modem is off. For the upteenth time, again. Of course I reported the problem to Streamyx TMNet Centre, but since it will only be attended to “within two working days”, it looks like it is going to be the cybercafe for me this weekend.

It seems that the WordPress index.php file on the www.menj.org is causing the CPU quota to exceed 20 seconds and overloading the host. I’ve already upgraded the WordPress files but the problem still persist.
