After almost 3 months of displaying the I serve Nuffnang ads banner on our blog’s right sidebar, I am now removing it because not even one ad appeared there and not a single cent was earned during the last 3 months.
I know, some bloggers are earning from Nuffnang. It looks, though, like there are specific niches that appeal more to Nuffnang advertisers and our blog’s niche is not one of those.
It’s been exactly one week since I applied for an Infolinks account and used it as additional money-maker for the PMT site. I know, I’ve been late to join because thousands of bloggers have already joined this since early this year. Anyway, here’s what I have to say about Infolinks after using it for 1 week.
If you REALLY want to make a lot of money from blogging, here’s our tip: DON’T BLOG — the usual way.
“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 a lot definitely. The problem is that the stories they share 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.
You have been blogging for months now. Almost everyday, you come up with at least one blog post. And yet, your site’s traffic is not increasing and, worst, your online income is still close to zero. What’s wrong?
You are not alone. Several PMT Forum members who have been blogging for some time now have reached the same conclusion: Mahirap pala kumita sa blogging.
We recently noticed that a lot our of visitors are coming to the site using Conduit Search. Curious, I researched what Conduit is and apparently, one can create a toolbar for free with it. 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? 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.
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.
What’s wrong with Google Adsense recently?
That’s the question my friend who runs an entertainment portal emailed me to ask. He is wondering why the performance of his Adsense income has been “weird and erratic” during the first three days of March.
For instance, his double-digit daily earnings dropped considerably to just one digit during March 2 and 3. And yet, the number of ad clicks “strangely increased” with no corresponding increase in ad income.
Yesterday, I got my Google Adsense earnings via Western Union. For a change, though, I opted to pick up my payment at a branch of the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI).
Yes, for those who do not know it yet, you can go to BPI or any other local bank to get your Western Union payments.
