Finding your business niche

July 12, 2011 by

I have lots of different businesses.  With only a couple of exceptions, all of my businesses only earn a little bit of money each.  That’s what I like.  Truth is, I have so many different businesses that off the top of my head, I am not even sure how many different businesses I have.  In fact, even if I sat down and started counting, I am not certain which ones I would count as actual businesses, some are so small, and things I do so seldom that I might not even count them.  But, I suppose if they are something I do to earn money, they are businesses, regardless of how small. These small businesses that earn small amounts of money … [Read more...]

My new PC!

June 29, 2011 by 18 Comments
My new USFF PC, sitting on my desk next to my cellular phone

In the past week or so, I purchased a new PC!  It is kind of a departure for me, because this computer is much different than any other computer that I have bought in my lifetime.  And, believe me, in my lifetime I have bought a lot of PCs too!  What is so different about this PC?  Well, a lot of things, and I'll be telling you about that later in the article. It all started out with my old laptop, a Compaq laptop that was only about 18 months old, or so.  I started having problems with it.  The monitor was starting to give out on it.  If I touched the monitor, the screen would go white.  Because I make my living on the Internet, I … [Read more...]

How to make money?

April 7, 2011 by 10 Comments
Philippines

When it comes to blogging, my niche is related to living in the Philippines.  Even when I write on other subjects, the Living in the Philippines niche is still in play.  For instance, when I write on this site, it is about making money.  Primarily, though, it focuses in on how to make money while living in the Philippines.  Because I live in the Philippines, that is just a big part of my life, and it interacts with just about any subject that I write about. One thing that I get a lot of is e-mails from other people who want to live here in the Philippines.  One of the most widely asked questions in those e-mails is - "how can I make … [Read more...]

Stop the treadmill! I think I want to get off!

Wordpress

I'm having one of those days today.  You know the kind of day I am talking about - one of those days when you work hard for the entire day, and at the end of the day, you feel like you didn't do anything.  I don't like those days. I blame Wordpress. "Why Wordpress," you say? Well, I blame Wordpress because it has become like a treadmill that never stops.  First of all, you have a never ending parade of updates to the software.  As soon as you update to a new version and get all the kinks worked out, it seems like there is a new, critical security update that you have to do immediately!  If you don't update on time, it's like … [Read more...]

Beta Testing

About 6 weeks ago, maybe 2 months, I got an e-mail regarding a new advertising program that I could use on my various blogs.  It was from a company that I have been using for over a year now, and they were adding a new type of advertising program.  They invited me to be one of the "beta testers" for the program.  I looked at it, and felt that it may have some merit, so I figured that I'd give it a try.  I am already using two different advertising programs from this company, and have been happy with their service. I added this new advertising service to just one of my websites for testing.  For the first few days, I followed the … [Read more...]

What's up with Chitika?

January 26, 2011 by Leave a Comment
chitika200

One of my monetization tools that I use on many blogs is Chitika, particularly their eMiniMalls product. In particular, I have one website where I earn some nice money through Chitika. Something is not right, though.... Normally, I can log into the Chitika site by around 2 am EST and find out my earnings for the previous day. Yesterday, I logged in at that time, no updates, only earnings reported for the day before. I waited a few hours, it was the same. Before going to bed (that's around 6 am EST), still no update. Just now (about 8pm EST), I went and checked it again, still no update! Very strange, and unusual. Is anybody else … [Read more...]

I've used Paypal a couple of times now

January 9, 2011 by Leave a Comment

As I announced on this blog a few weeks back, Paypal is now available for users in the Philippines. It actually has been allowed to have a Paypal account here for about a year now, but it wasn't very accessible. You could not take money out unless you used a Bank Account in the United States, and there were other limits too. However, in the past month or so, Paypal has made it fairly easy to use various Philippine Accounts to accomplish the use of one of their accounts to the fullest. I have actually used Paypal twice now, since they have started their new policies. So far so good! About 2 weeks ago, somebody wanted to buy something … [Read more...]
