SocialSpark is really cool!

I am loving the new SocialSpark and i am sticking it out with them.  I have been with SocialSpark when it started years back until it started as new.  If you are blogging for pay and with SocialSpark before, you need to sign up again with this new site because the old account is considered gone. There are quite a few changes but you will love it, trust me!  Sign up now and start earning money.  If you have a blog, why not use it for some extra bucks?  Check out the new SocialSpark and let me know if you need some help. I will be happy to be of help, anytime.

Blogging tips ....

If you are blogging for pay, always spell check your post and review your grammar. If you are not sure about the right term to use, then look for another word with similar meaning which you are comfortable to use. Before accepting or grabbing a paid opportunity, read first the requirements. I know I am guilty of this. Just because it was offered to you to be written in one of your blogs, doesn't mean your blog is qualified. Just last week, i grabbed two opps that were offered in two of my blogs (a PR2 and a PR3). I chose to write it for my other blog that is PR2 to balance the number of paid posts in my blogs. I thought the other blog that is PR3 has more than enough posts already. I did the task, submitted it and was later rejected because one of the requirements which I overlooked was: blog should be a PR3. I did not pay attention to that so I wasted two opps and lost money. I tell you, blogging for pay is sometimes stressful especially when you are beating a deadline. Happy blogging!

To keep this domain or not.....

If you notice, this blog has never been updated since December. I am still debating whether to keep this domain and continue paying for it or go back to the freebie blogspot. I created this blog mainly to share what i learned about making money online, which i did great in the past. Unfortunately, the past months, i have been slacking on this part because i haven't been inspired to do something simply because there is really nothing significant to write about making money. I am not making money for the past months online and that de-motivated me to do anything nor to talk about it. I got paid by some PTCs and blogging but the amount i earned is not even worth writing about.

On the blogging part, PPP has taken off all freebie blogs and that of course included my bravejournal blog which also lost its PR from 2 to zero. If you also notice, PPP's opps tremendously decreased its offers to as low as 50 cents! You think it is still worth writing blog posts for 50 cents each? Even if PPP changed its policies or TOS to give more opps for bloggers to earn more by increasing the number of opps that they can write each day per blog from 3 to 7 and taking off the requirement for interim posts in between each paid posts, to me it doesn't make any difference at all.

I guess the economic depression is being felt all over the world and has affected all aspects of life, including blogging. I hope someday, the blogging industry will go back up and normalize as it used to be. To all bloggers who blog for money, good luck to you all!

No more easy money from blogging …..

PayPerPost (PPP), the biggest paid blogging site that I am with has been doing some cleaning up on each blog that members submitted at PPP. I believe they have every right to reject any blog they find that doesn’t meet the basic requirements of the site. It is business, you know. I feel sorry for those whose blogs were already taken off their list. I just hope that at least one of my three blogs that I submitted with them will be retained. But if don’t get lucky enough, I guess I just have to find other means to earn extra money online. I believe everything happens for a reason. As long as they are clear about their reasons why they reject a blog, I guess that is fair enough. Good luck to all PPP bloggers out there!
