Blogging as source of passive income
December 1, 2009
It feels weird making a new blog post after almost three weeks of resting. Yes, it’s been almost three weeks since I made my last post (see Free magazines for Filipinos posted on November 15).
This posting hiatus happened for two reasons. One, I went to Singapore and Indonesia from November 17 to 23 and I hadn’t got the time to make any new blog post while I was away.
The second, more important reason was that the posting break was actually an experiment of mine. I was trying to check if blogging can indeed give passive income, and this I did by comparing my Google Adsense income before and after my last blog post.
Here are the results of this experiment.

7 easy-to-make blogs that can make you money
May 26, 2009
Pardon the delay of this article, but we have recently been distracted (read: engrossed) by the Katrina Halili – Hayden Kho sex video scandal that we forgot to finish writing this. Anyway, that issue has already peaked so we now focus on the next best thing after sex. Money that, is.
Our first make money from blogging tip: if you want to earn from blogging, don’t “blog.”
To make money, don’t blog?
“Blogging,” for most people, is about writing stories they want to tell – be it about the latest trip to Boracay, a review of the Star Trek movie, or just plain ranting about the boss or the work.
Several bloggers who write these things do make money from blogging. But not all of them earn a lot from it. The problem is that the stories they are sharing usually have a limited audience. On the internet, if you can’t attract a good number of visitors, you can’t expect to earn a lot from your blog or site.
Free toolbar, free money, more blog visitors
April 12, 2009
While looking at this site’s visitor logs, I noticed that a lot of visitors are using Conduit Search. Curious, I researched what this is and I ended up with the site Conduit.com.
Apparently, one can create a toolbar for free using Conduit. A toolbar is a group of icons on top of one’s browser that provides a shortcut to a site or blog.
How does one benefit from the toolbar? Well, because it rests on the browser, the toolbar provides an easy way for a visitor to visit his or her favorite blog or site. With just one click, the visitor can immediately access a site or read real-time content from a blog.
How to make money online with Clickbank
March 30, 2009
A lot of people have been writing us in the past asking why we don’t recently feature a lot of “make money online” opportunities. The simple answer is that we can’t find a lot of genuine online income opportunities.
Most of the money-making schemes found on the internet, especially those which ask for an “investment” in exchange for future “profits”, are scams.
There are some, like Paid to Click (PTC) or other Get-Paid-To programs, that pay but a lot of time is needed in return for meager cents.
Genuine programs like Google Adsense are starting to show a decline in earnings so those starting out may now have to double their efforts to earn a few dollars.
Fortunately, a genuine make-money-online program has been recently introduced for Filipinos. Last week, Clickbank has started accepting affiliates from the Philippines.
How blogging provides passive income
October 28, 2008
Blogging is now a certified way to make money online. Many bloggers around the world have relied — and are still relying on blogging — to provide them with a regular stream of income, which they use to buy a car, house, laptop, or LCD TV.
For the lucky few, blogging has become a source of passive income. Passive, because they don’t have to write articles or update their blog every single day and yet they continue to earn money.
Take, for example, this PinoyMoneyTalk.com blog.

If you’ve been following our posts about Paypal, you’ll see that there really is a way to make money using Paypal. In May 2008, we wrote about the $30 and $85 bonus we got from Paypal.

How do Filipinos make money online? Let us count the ways.
- 1. Google Adsense and other Advertising Networks
The most basic way to make money online is to create a site or blog and monetize it by having advertising networks serve ads to the site. Learn here how to start a blog then pepper it with content.
