Printer Ink Cartridges

2008-02-02T00:10:00.000+08:00

I got a printer at home. I do my printing job very often. When I found something useful on the Internet, Wikipedia and so on, I'll print it out for my reference and to study about it. I can take to school and file it. It's easier for me to make references when I want to do project next time. However, the sad things of the whole printing work is the cartridge ink is very expensive. Sometimes, the cartridges may cost as the same price of the printer machine itself.

Yeah, I am serious. My HP printer is 39$ and both my inkjet cartridges for Black and Color is already 45$ in total for 2. HP inkjet cartridges is always expensive. But I like HP because of the quality of the printout and the nice looking design of the printer.

After doing some research on the net, there's actually alternative on buying original HP C6656AN cartridge. It's the same thing as the original cartridge, but cheaper price, same quality too! I believe most of the people use the printer to print documents only, not much people print photos. The cheap carrot ink sure will help you.

Carrot ink even has the ISO 9001/9002 standards so you got no worry that the ink is cheap quality. Best part is I no need drive myself to the store to get my ink. Turn on the computer, click on the site, type in credit card number, address and click buy. Wait for it, *ding dong*, your ink for printer arrive. Save cost on petrol too! Shopping online for ink cartridges is fun and efficient.

I'm going to order one and try out myself. Since it's cheap, who cares how much I print. Now I can no need worry about what to and not to print.

2007-08-16T20:54:00.000+08:00

In the clothing industry, you can get your bulk supplies from wholesale liquidator. Why not getting the brand new stocks? It's always the same getting from Merchadize Liquidators as the things are still new from some of the closeout or maybe it's overstock. You'll find truckloads of clothing, electronics tools and more. From there, you can MAKE MONEY! And also cut down costs for getting brand new supplies from the supplier.

Basically, www.merchandizeliquidators.com is a leading wholesale liquidator and distributor in the closeout industry, offering wholesale prices for used merchandise, furniture liquidators, apparel liquidation, closeout merchandise and many more. For you information, they are one of the leading liquidators out there.

iNicholas.Com NO!

2007-08-15T23:56:00.000+08:00

What the heck, I thought the owner of iNicholas.com won't be renewing the domain but then he renewed it the day after it expired. Sigh, I don't have the chance to own a cool professional dot com looking site but on a dot net. Anyway, I think it doesn't bother me much as long as I can make money online then it's good. Dot net might look cheaper than dot com, but many many pro sites use dot net too, so why should I go crazy for a dot com.

Some little update on making money online :
It has been 3 weeks I didn't write PayPerPost, I login login and login, but I don't find new opportunity, PayPerPost hate me? My sites is low PR, I need to do something to increase PR, help me anybody?

I am so so sorry that this blog will be going hiatus. I will try to update when I am free. This is all because that my PMR Form 3 school exam is coming, and it's getting near and near.

Official Earning Report : Month 1

2007-08-04T21:06:00.000+08:00

So, recently I had decided to change my earning report to monthly basis. Well, below will be a total of how much I made online and with which service. I am happy with what I have earned although it is not a big number. The money are all in PayPal and some still waiting for payout. I am going to use to get my self a hosting and move my blogs to Wordpress. I have already successfully earned to money I need to pay for web hosting. Very happy. However, I don't have much time on doing this thing as my school exam is around the corner. Sigh, I hate exams, haha.

Total earning in month July (includes week 1 and week 2):

$22.80 from Smorty.

$36.01 from PayPerPost.

$7.50 from Blogsvertise.

$6.50 from SponsoredReviews.com.

$36.33 from Advertlets.

$48.62 from Linkworth.

Money talks !

Smorty is not making money with me! You know why? I didn't receive writing opportunity for month. I grabbed the first 3 opportunities then later no more I can find. Even though I did receive opportunity from email, but then when I login that time, no more. It says all opportunity have been taken. I login only after 10 minutes I received my mail, but then nothing one. Sucks!

Payperpost, I love you. Because I have successfully made $36.01 and still have $15 haven't payout, going to payout. But the bad is my blogs are PR0, so I can hardly find new opportunities to write. That's a down point, if you have a blog more than PR3 then Payperpost is definitely a yes yes for you. You can enjoy making money by writing some short sponsored post.

Blogsvertise, another paid post service on the Internet. At first, I received to request on paid post. I wrote one and the other one I abandoned it because I don't have time that time, I was busy with school work. So I just received $7.50 from 1 advertiser. Until now, I still got nothing to write. Maybe my blog is PR0? I also don't know why.

SponsoredReviews. I have tried to bid for some post. I got 3 bid rejected. Most probably because my blog is not highly rank yet. But then I manage to bid for 2 post which is $5 and get paid $6.50. You guys might say I am a cheap blogger, but then I am new to make money online business, so even little money, I will never let go the chance.

Advertlets, my only ads space on my blogs besides Nuffnang which is not ready yet. For your information, Advertlets is currently available to Malaysia and Singapore. It's coming to your country very soon. At first, I made some money everyday, but then it's getting lower and lower everyday. Need to draw more visitors to my blog in order to maintain the earning level. So far so good, I kinda like Advertlets.

Linkworth is great. But then I don't know how it's paying system is. Last month an advertiser bought a text link on my blog. He paid for last month, and then this month comes and he pays again. Then there is something call Affiliate Payout, I don't really understand what is it but I will be getting $30 from that thing. Unpaid balance is $48.63, looking forward to paycheck day.

Big money maker for big blog : Google Adsense.

Everytime, I will recommend Google Adsense to you all, but it's not for small blog. It's for big blog, not very big, you must have lots of visitors to your site. Then you can expect money coming down from the sky real soon. Problogger out there are using it, since I am not pro enough, so I am not ready for it yet. But small blog can try out too. Sign up for AdSense.

Total (Including haven't payout):

$157.76

Free Wifi In Bangkok Airport

2007-07-31T21:09:00.000+08:00

Actually, you can't find free wireless Internet connection at Bangkok's Airport. You can find a lot of open network, but you need to have a login id and password, so meaning that most of it is paid service. Not fun man! Airport should have provide free Wifi to travelers and anyone.

Thanks stickman guides on helping me accessing the "free" wifi at Bangkok Airport.

When you are at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport, you will find a lot of wifi network, one of them is aotwifi.

Connect yourself into the network.

Start your web browser, I recommend Mozilla Firefox. Get Firefox with Google Toolbar for more secure browsing.

You will now land on a page where you are require to key in your login username and password.

Just type test for username and test for password.

You are now ready to surf the Internet. =) Happy surfing.

Something Wrong With My Photoshop

2007-07-31T21:05:00.000+08:00

I am now getting fed up on running Photoshop. I don't know what had happened to my PC, few days ago, it can't power up, everytime I turn on, nothing show on screen. Now even though it can start, I can run my photoshop, when I try using Magic Wand/Lasso or Crop, my whole PC goes hang or shut down. Something wrong with my hardware I think, I definitely need to power up my PC with more rams or maybe a new PC. But I am sure my dad won't get me a new PC because my PC is still running fine. =( All the upgrades work only can start after my school exam ends which at October. Let's hope the time goes faster then "It's Upgrade Time!". I need 1 stick of 1GB ram and a AGP DirectX10 GPU. Wonder how much will it be .

I Just Came Back From Thailand

2007-07-31T20:15:00.000+08:00

Add Search Bar For Blogger MistyLook

2007-07-25T21:25:00.000+08:00

In my previous templetes, there isn't a search bar or navibar on top for people to search through my blog. I was looking at my blog, and wanted to find some old articles that I wrote, I realised that I should have a search area for people to make a search, so it will be easier.

When I changed my templates to MistyLook yesterday, I saw that this MistyLook ported to Blogger version by Blogcrowds is not 100% the same as the one on Wordpress. This Blogger version don't have the search bar on top right corner of the page and the feed icon below the navigation tab area.

I thought of adding the search bar into this template. I copied the search bar code from Wordpress based blog using MistyLook. No luck, I have the search bar on, but I got no result when I search.

So, I added search widget to the sidebar.

From that, I made some tweaks to the search bar above, and it's now working like a charm. Just like the original Wordpress MistyLook theme with the search bar on top.

If you are using the MistyLook Blogger template, then look for this lines (navigation tabs) :

Then add this lines of code after the next tab :

<li class='search'><form action='/search' id='searchThis' method='get' style='display:inline;'><input class='textbox' id='s' name='q' type='text' value=''/><input id='searchsubmit' type='submit' value='Search'/></form></li>

If you are not using MistyLook, you can try too.

For adding Search Widget on the sidebar, just click here and scroll down the page for Search Widget.

In conclusion, a blog should have a search bar so that reader can search through posts they wanted to find easily.

A New Look Again

2007-07-25T00:08:00.000+08:00

I was doing my revision for my coming school exam and I was feeling bored of it, so I decided to check out some templates site to see any new blogger template uploaded. Oh gosh, I found a very popular Wordpress based template, MisyLook at BlogCrowds. BlogCrowds is famous for porting Wordpress theme to a Blogger version and they just update their site with new look and more templates for download.

If you reads John Chow, then you know I am using the same templates as him, almost the same yet still Wordpress one have additional features. I haven't have time to edit my blog banner yet. I always hate to start Photoshop in my computer because it will causes my system to run very slow due to lag of ram. I need a stick of 1GB ram! Currently my computer have only 512MB of ram, and most of the time, my Mozilla Firefox suck most of the memory.

I think this will be a better template at the moment and I will stick with it. 2 column might be hard for me to categorize my sidebar, but I'll try to figure it out later. See ya!

Weekly Earning Report Has Become MONTHLY Earning Report

2007-07-24T17:43:00.000+08:00

Hello, I didn't do the weekly earning report with you guys this week. I had decided to make a detail report by the end of the month and it will be monthly basis from now onwards. Well, this is because that the earning is not much, and you can't really see the different of amount of money I earned, the number is small. Maybe with a month time, I can earn more, then every month, I will get different amount of earning. Being a new blogger making money online is hard, need to do a lot of research, reading and writings. Let's wait and see how much will I earn by the end of the month.

For previous earning report you can see here :

I Use Gmail, How About You?

2007-07-20T18:27:00.000+08:00

What free email service are you using? I am using Gmail.

I believe a lot people out there also uses Gmail. As for me, I think Gmail is the best free email service. Best of the best. I don't really set up Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook or any other email program to read my email. I just point my web browser to Gmail because it's fast and smooth. The UI is very simple, easy to use and navigate.

My first email was Hotmail, I don't like it though even though they just upgraded to Live Mail, it's not as smooth as Gmail. When composing mail with Hotmail, they place ads at the signature area. That sucks man although nobody would every bother it. I am still using Hotmail, as my Windows Live Messenger account, but I don't ask people email anything to me to that account.

Then I have tried Yahoo Mail, at least it's better than Hotmail. Quite fast too. Though, Yahoo also have a line of ads at the signature area like Hotmail. Not fun lah. Some more, Yahoo wants you to pay for a Pro account for larger attachment and pop access. Boo!

Gmail is the best. POP access for free, 20mb sending attachment, 2.8GB storage and counting, Gtalk build in, simple, easy to navigate around. =)

How about you?

Sell Things Online, Make Money Too!

2007-07-20T18:03:00.000+08:00

In school, I don't really talk to my friend about making money online. If I tell them about it, they sure will tell me it's impossible unless you sell thing in eBay. They know eBay! Thanks Transformers, a lot of my classmate know about eBay now.

Last time, they don't even know about site that can sell or buy things, they only know you can BUY things on the net but don't know what site. Many of them still actually don't know how these very big, extremely big company like MSN, Yahoo!, Google make money online.

I was noob also, when my teacher ask about what is the most popular online store in the net, I said eBay. I was wrong, actually it is Amazon! Now I know what's a eBay is, eBay is a place that allow you to set up your own stalls, sell and buy stuff.

Well, besides writing paid post, delivering great contents, selling ads space in your site/blog, clicking on ads, you can sell things online and make some money.

What things can you sell online?
Those all junks in your bedroom lying under your bed which are still in good conditions, like toys, video games, decorative items, teddy bears, unwanted usable computer hardware. Since you don't use it, don't throw away, try selling online, maybe someone get attracted by your item.

Besides that, if you know a supplier of anything, try to get a little stock from him and sell them online. Nowadays, people do like this because they no need to open a shop to sell things. Just set up your little online store at ebay or Yahoo Auction, then start selling.

Where can you sell those?
Very popular eBay. You watch Transformers, then you'll know.
Yahoo! Auction. My brother uses it in Singapore. Too bad, Yahoo! Malaysia don't have it's own Yahoo! Auction.
For local Malaysian, most popular one is Lelong.com.my, better than eBay Malaysia.

Have I sold anything online?
Seriously, no. I really got nothing to sell. I love my video games collection, don't want to sell it out or give it away. I can't really find any junk in my bedroom. maybe if I do, I'll definitely will sell it. Who don't want to make money? =D

So, I just want to tell you that you can make money online by setting up your own online stores too!

How to run your own Justin.TV in Malaysia or Any Country

2007-07-19T20:41:00.000+08:00

Heard of Justin.TV before? I wrote about it before long long time ago, er, not very long. I am fan of Justin.tv, very cool.

Well, I have think about how to run your own Justin.tv in Malaysia. We don't have EVDO wireless broadband here, but we do have 3G. Edge too, but Edge might bit too slow. It will be best with HSPDA.

First of all, you must get yourself a portable laptop with high capacity battery. A very light one and feel comfortable when carry around and also a web camera with build in microphone.

Then, get yourself subscribe to 3G/HSPDA unlimited data plan, either via Maxis or Celcom. I myself would recommend Maxis because my area have HSPDA for speed as fast as 1.8mbps, but Celcom have more coverage over other states.

AFAIK, only a few states in Malaysia have HSPDA service, Penang and Kuala Lumpur. There are many states have 3G coverage already, like Kuching, Johor, Perak, Kedah, Penang and Kuala Lumpur.

Now, get a cell phone which last longer when 3G connection on OR best with a HSPDA adapter for your laptop. Why it's best using HSPDA adapter? Because most phones suck a lot of battery usage when 3G on, so like standby time can go until 3-5 days but with 3G on, I think is half to a day.

Last part, set up the Internet connection, wear your cam over your head or anywhere, start broadcasting at blogtv.com or request invitataion at Justin.tv then start your broadcasting. Pack everything into your bag and start moving =D.

NOTE : Not only Malaysian can do this, if you are from other country and have 3G connection or EVDO then you can have YOURS.TV broadcast on the net and show the world your interesting 24/7 life.

Well, you can make money with it as long as there are viewers that watching you. Sponsors will come and look for you very soon. Look at Justin, he is making money from his sponsors.

That's all and it's a simple guide for you to make your own Justin.TV, hope you will like it.

Well, today is my birthday and I am truly 15 now. So which mean that I am eligible to sign up for Nuffnang. Previously, I am not allow to sign up for Nuffnang because I was underage. Now I isn't underage anymore. Hehe.

Well, Nuffnang is an online blog advertising company in Malaysia. A local Problogger here, 5xmom admire their service and she have been paid $$. I am still playing with it. Ads will not show when I inserted the code, but a real ads will only shown after 3 days after the ad campaign is completed.

You can track your blog traffic besides making money online. It's only simple site traffic tracking like how many unique user visits, and where they come from. I like this feature which Advertlets don't provide.

The make money thing starts 3 days later, so let's wait and see. Their minimum payout is at RM50 via check.

And lastly, Nuffnang is currently available for Malaysian and Singaporean.

Besides just making money, Nuffnang do sponsor bloggers get-together event in Malaysia. Read their blog for more.

AdBux Is A Scam

2007-07-16T16:57:00.000+08:00

Oh my god! AdBux.org is actually a scam on making money online. I didn't do a research on it. adbuxtruth.blogspot.com have just made a new website call adbuxscam.com and write about it on the scam, go there to read the detail on Adbux's scam. I didn't bother it much as it's not making money online for me. However, I have see 1 friend of mine made $10 with Adbux. Even though if you can make money online with it, it will be very slow. So if you were reading my blog about Make Easy Money Online with AdBux, then I am wrong. Try other stuff, don't falls into the trap of Adbux. You can always make money online with Payperpost. =)

Official Earning Report : Week 2

2007-07-15T23:10:00.000+08:00

It's the time again. I skipped blogging a day, yesterday I was quite busy and went to the cinema. Well, another week has gone, and seriously, I want to tell you that my earning is not that good. I can hardly find paid review to write about and no earning on AdSense. Cool things is there's new source of my online income. Let's get straight into the point. As below, all I mention is in total value, I haven't touch any of the money yet. So little, I can't buy anything also.

Previous earning :
$16.80 from Smorty. (No opportunity for a few weeks already, I received opportunities via email, but when I signed in that time, it had been taken).
RM100.43 ($29.19) from Advertlets. (I wonder why it stop earning this few days. I am eligible for paycheck).
$6 from Payperpost. (Will be paid $40.26 soon, I have 0PR, so I can hardly get new opportunities).

Week 2 earnings :
$6 from Smorty.
$5 from Payperpost.
RM2 ($0.58) from Advertlets. =(
$8.13 from LinkWorth. (Haven't paid yet.)

What should be earning but not?
My Advertlets should be earning, 2 weeks ago, I get around $3-5 everyday without clicks but with high CPM, but then last week, I got like few cents a day after Advertlets fix their server even though I got almost the same amount of visitors a day but low CPM.

How about paid reviews?
Well, now I realise that a low PR or 0PR blog can hardly find opportunity to write in Payperpost. I manage to get 2 last week, when I signed in to Payperpost, I quickly take up the 2 opportunity. Until now, I still see 0 opportunity for me.

As for Smorty and Bloggerwave, I still see no opportunity for me for a LONG time already. I do receive email from Smorty about a campaign to write about, 2 days ago at 7.30pm, I was AFK for 10 minutes, then when I login to Smorty, I don't see the campaign. I think I need to install the email notifier for me so I can quickly grab that Smorty campaign.

Newly added.
Linkworth is my new source of my online income. So far, I have 1 advertiser bought a text link on my other blog (Nicholas Chan's Blog). Their payout is at $25 via check. If I successfully earn >$25 with LinkWorth then I'll use payment by check, if not, I will change to PayPal.

Get Notified

2007-07-12T19:57:00.000+08:00

If you don't feel like logging into you web-based email account every time you want to check mail at your desk, a notifier program can tell you at a glance if you've got new mail by alerting you straight from you desktop or taskbar.

Notifier come in many forms, from shareware to desktop widgets for both Windows and Mac OS X.

Two good options are Yahoo! Widgets offers a free Yahoo! Mail Check and Google has a free Gmail Notifier program. - New York Times Special Features.

I think that Widget is cool looking on desktop, just like the Mac OS X's dashboard. However, if your computer have little ram like me (512mb of ram only), then I don't recommend you to use widgets, my Firefox alone already used up 18xmb of ram. I don't like lagness. So, have at least a GB of ram in your computer.

As for now, I don't have a lot of email received, not a businessman or anything, so I don't need a email notifier, I can always check my email when I want to.

Widgets will be cool as you can access your main account straight from your desktop, have a to do list, calendar and more. =)

Review me and get added into the sidebar

2007-07-12T19:44:00.000+08:00

Hola, I realize that some friends out there already have a Payperpost account and so they can't get paid. If you don't have, you can be the first one to make $7.50 from Payperpost via iNicholas. So, I give a little benefits to them that can't make the $7.50, if you do a review about my blog, iNicholas, I will link you in the sidebar. So, your link are on the main page.

As for those who want to link exchange, you can contact me then I will then add you in the Link page. =)

And lastly, for those who review me for making money online purpose, or not, I'll write a post with your link on it.

I Am Now A Pownce User

2007-07-11T20:52:00.000+08:00

First of all, I need to thanks Aidan for inviting me to join Pownce. I just wrote about Pownce recently. While, currently you can't sign up for Pownce yet as it is in beta. You need to get a invitation from a Pownce user like me =D or drop your email at the main page and wait for Pownce team to invite you.

I think Pownce is pretty cool. It's like MySpace/Facebook, I have my own Pownce page and I post all my short messages there. Besides that, I can also post links, upload file and events to share with my friends on my network at Pownce.

There is a Pro account which requires you to pay $20 for a year for these features :

Send files up to 100 MB
No advertisements

Well, I am not going to waste my money on that. I am ok with ads but sending files up to 100MB? I haven't try sending a file yet. =) Maybe someone want to sponsor me a Pro account, then I'll give it a try. Hehe

Like Twitters, there is a program for you to download into your computer. Mac OS and Windows supported. The program is quite nice looking. Before you install, you need to have Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) only you can install the little software on your computer for you to post message, links, events, and files. If you don't have AIR, you can download from their site.

However, Pownce doesn't have a widget for your website like Twitter. I believe maybe they will make one in the future.

Newly updated : Pownce is more likely like a social networking site like MySpace and Facebook with Twiiters. =D

VISIT MY POWNCE PUBLIC SITE

Watch E3 Live

2007-07-11T11:21:00.000+08:00

Do you know E3? The Electronic Entertainment Expo? This year has been downsized to E3 Business and Media Submit and not open to public. However, you still get to catch the Live Press Conference of Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo on the Internet. Still remember last year I stay up until 1am to watch the Nintendo Press Conference Live. Guess I have to do it again tomorrow. But for Microsoft Press Conference, I am lucky, it's going to start in 5 minutes time here in the morning. Here are a few sites that you can watch the press conference live from the scene at Santa Monica.

Gamespot.com - One of the more reliable choices around, GameSpot always has great coverage of these events.
G4TV - Not available on the site itself, G4TV will be airing the conference via television. That means you can DVR any wacky mishaps!
1UP.com - Team Ziff will be broadcasting through 1UP of course! Which means only half of you will be able to load it.
GameTap.com - Surprisingly, GameTap will be airing the conference as well through their video portal.

Well, as for me I am watching through GameSpot because my broadband speed is not stable. If you want to get a clearer video, choose 1UP, it's much more clearer than GameSpot. However, if you are a subsriber to Gamespot Premium, you can watch HD format. If you have cable tv at home, just tune into G4TV, sadly here in my place don't have G4TV. Last time used to have Tech TV but later don't know why they removed it.

Here are also some sites that you can view live coverage of E3 events :

LinkWorth Make Money Too

2007-07-09T22:23:00.000+08:00

Have you heard about LinkWorth before? I just started trying LinkWorth recently. LinkWorth is a Internet Advertising company like Google Adsense, Text Link Ads and PayPerPost. You can choose from different format of ads to place on your site, you can sell text link, write paid post and their affiliate service which allow you to make money online by refering LinkWorth to others.

Well, so far, I have submitted 2 blogs into LinkWorth, my personal weblog and iNicholas. An advertiser already bought a link to be place on my personal website. Yay, it will be another source of my online income.

[image] a link space bought by advertisers at my blog.

It's payment system is like this, if you sell text link on your blog, you set your own price and LinkWorth will pay you 70% of the price you set. You know, I have my blog approved at Text Link Ads for months but no advertiser want to buy links at my site, most probably because 0PR (It used to be PR3 but after getting a domain, it become 0PR again), but with LinkWorth, after a few weeks, I sold a link at my blog. Happy of course.

The more visitors to your blog, the more you sells. As with LinkWorth, they don't care about PageRank, Technorati Ranking so much, but care about how many Visits per month, the more the better.

Besides that, if you have multiple blogs and submit all, you get a chance to earn more. I haven't install the ads code yet, may try in the future. LinkWorth pays you via PayPal Check or direct deposit (US Banks Only) and its minimum payout rate for check is $25 which is get paid faster than Google AdSense.

Basically, LinkWorth consist all kinds of ads publishing format from contextual ads, paid post, and text link. I think it's kinda cool and worth it to give it a try as it will be another source of your online income. Sign up for LinkWorth now! It's very easy to make money online.

FeedBurned Pro Now FreeBurner

2007-07-08T23:02:00.000+08:00

Last time, before Google bought FeedBurner, there are 2 service that require an amount of money in order to use its feature which is the FeedBurner Stats Pro and MyBrand. Now, you can use the 2 PRO feature for FREE. Well, before that I also don't notice more about the pro feature, but now since it's free, I'll give it a shot.

FeedBurner Stats PRO

PRO is feed analytics taken to the next level. You will now have access to the number of people who have viewed or clicked individual content items in your feed and “Reach,” which estimates the daily number of subscribers who interacted with your feed content. You can turn this on by signing in to your account, navigating to the Analyze tab and heading to the FeedBurner Stats PRO section. Click the "Item Views" checkbox to activate these PRO features.

This feature is cool, but I don't have much reader yet. Well, if you stumble across my blog, why not subscribe to my feed for your reading pleasure? =)

MyBrand

Another Pro feature, this one is like having your feed address to me customize. For example, you use feeds.inicholas.net/(feed name). [note : iNicholas dot Net is not ready yet] If didn't use my brand, it will be feeds.feedburner.com/inicholas. Nothing much fancy me, but might be cool because it match your domain. FYI, you need to have a hosted website's domain in order to use this feature.

I still haven't try it yet, but I will give it a try soon when I am free. =) Have a great great day!

Moo, Dot Com Mogul Has A Brother Call John Cow

2007-07-08T17:31:00.001+08:00

If Izwan never tell me about John Cow, I never know that it exist. Some one out there created a parody blog about John Chow the Dot Com Mogul call John Cow Dot Com. At first, i thought it was a fake, but the site really exist and have lots of interesting post about making mooney.

JohnCow.com was initially planned as a parody on the popular blog JohnChow.com. In the process of acquiring the domain an idea came to life. Why not adapt the winning formula and amplify it’s achievements? Using the platform John Chow uses as a tribute to his marketing skills? We will keep an eye out on the Internet’s biggest moooney-makers and publish their best ideas, projects and work. All so that you have a one-stop-shop for your entrepreneur’s needs. Hope you’ll enjoy JohnCow.com as much as we do. And don’t forget: Milk is good for you!

Somehow, that site is getting more and more popular and have 58 feed reader compare to my noob blog =( which only has 6 feed readers. Why I at first didn't think of making John Cow Dot Com? Haha, just kidding. Some people hate John Chow because he makes lot of money online. Well to me, I think John Chow is another site for me to learn how to make money online.

John Cow also provides tips on making money online, cool huh? So, mooo, anyone?

Official Earning Report : Week 1

2007-07-08T00:19:00.000+08:00

Wow, it's 12.21am right now. Anyway, this is my First Official Earning Report. The previous one, is UNofficial. I decided to make a official one to share with you guys how much I have earned. So far I have not make much money online, because I am a starter, newbie to this "make money online" thing. =] For your information, this earning report is based on my 2 blogs, so the earning is not basically on this blog. If this blog is doing good, then I'll just share my earning report mainly on this blog only.

$16.80 from Smorty. (No opportunity for a few weeks already, I received opportunities via email, but when I signed in that time, it had been taken).
RM100.43 ($29.19) from Advertlets. (I wonder why it stop earning this few days. I am eligible for paycheck).
$6 from Payperpost. (Will be paid $40.26 soon, I have 0PR, so I can hardly get new opportunities).

That's all. Although it is not a big amount, I am happy that I make a little money online. Where is AdSense? I didnt write about AdSense because it is very low, $11.xx, and the earning is not increasing, everyday I login and see $0.00, so I don't want to talk much about AdSense here in the report.

Biggest earning is from Advertlets. Well, I recomment Payperpost for easy money as you just need to write a short post and get paid.

You can also make money online too!

Cool People Do Cool Contest

2007-07-08T00:04:00.000+08:00

Seems like everyone starts to have contest in their blog to attract more visitors and make them stay. I need to have a black paper bag to cover my face because I don't have a contest for you guys. I promise I will have one when I make more money online. Don't forget, you can also make money online too.

Hey, don't you making money online now?
Yes I do, with paid post, but I am saving for hosting and domain. So, I can't touch the money first. After the hosting and domain thing settle, I try to save up and get you guys something.

Talking about contest, I noticed that recently, more and more contest appear on many problogger's blog. Make Money Wtih 13 Years Old just ended his contest, John Chow seems like addicted into contest, always have contest for his reader, Blogging Secret and iCalvyn are giving out free domain and many more, I don't remember that much.

I have noticed that their winner of the contest are chosen randomly, lucky draw. You need to be lucky so that you are the chosen one. Besides that, sometimes, you are require to drop a comment to get a ticket, blog about it and get a few tickets, then do something else to get another more tickets. After you got MANY tickets, you will stand higher chance to win or get to join the LUCKY DRAW.

So, I believe having a contest will have more people to post comment, make them stay to see if any other contest coming soon, they will also then blog about your contest at their blog, eventually you get new visitors to join your contest. It's a new way to gain traffic and make your blog more popular. Cheer! Hope you have a contest, very soon! =D

Pownce Pwn Twitter

2007-07-07T22:51:00.000+08:00

Creator and the man behind Digg, Kevin Rose just started a new Twitter-liked thing call Pownce.Why Kevin so creative? Why he have a good brain to start a new thing up? Digg.com is one of the Google AdSense top paid site, 6 figure income per month. I want to be like him one day!!

Let's get back. I have Twitter account but I didn't use it much. Hehe. Don't know why, but now I am waiting for Pownce invitation. As for now, Pownce is only open to invited members. You can submit a request for invitation at the site or ask someone who have Pownce account to invite you.

What you do with Pownce is, it's like Twitter, you post a short message saying what you are doing now and share it with the world, your friend, your fans. You can also send files, links and events to your friends, create a network of the people you know and then share stuff with them. There are different theme to set for your Pownce page.

What I think is, it's kinda cool because the site is better looking than Twitter. HAHAHA. Twitter is very popular now, guess I shall add Twitter here, SOON. =)

I have found out why the removal of "nofollow" won't work

2007-07-06T22:47:00.000+08:00

That's a long title. Let's get into the topic. I have just found out why I said my blog still can't "dofollow" with comment. Now it can, 100% do follow now.

The problem is because I uses the iframe comment hack which installed the comment window into the same page of a post with iframe. With that kind of commenting system, even though the nofollow tag is removed, the comment shown in the iframe comment window is still nofollow because that iframe window is actually the popup of the comment window. I remove the "nofollow" tag in my blog, BUT not in the popup window. It's impossible to edit the html code for the popup window.

If without using the iframe hack, your comment will be show on the same page of the post not in the iframe window. So if shown in the same page of the post, the comment will "follow" because "nofollow" tag is removed in my whole blog template.

Now, it's back to the normal comment system which require you to type in a popup window. After submiting your comment, your comment will appear in the post page, then any link in the comment, or link of your name will get a linkback from here.

Still looking a solution to post comment straight from the page without popup so that it will be easier for my lovely readers. But if want to use the previous comment hack, then it will be nofollow, I better choose the hard way so that it benefits you guys.

Let's spam my comment box and get lots of linkback! Just kidding, haha.

What is a Favicon?

2007-07-06T22:36:00.000+08:00

If you look at your address bar or at the tab area, you will see a little icon with my initial "N" on it besides my site name/address. That is the favicon.

What is a favicon?
Favicon (pronounced fav-eye-con) is short for 'Favorites Icon.' A Favicon is a multi-resolution image included on nearly all professional developed sites. Within Internet Explorer the Favicon is displayed on the Address line and in the Favorites menu. The Favicon allows the webmaster to further promote their site, and to create a more customized appearance within a visitor's browser. Often, the Favicon reflects the look and feel of the web site or the organization's logo.
from favicon.com

iNicholas definition of Favicon : The little icon that locate beside your sitename/address in the web browser.

Having a Favicon looks cool and make your sites more pretty. Besides that, a cool favicon attracts visitors, as it is also a great way to "brand" your blog which give you more recognition in the Internet world and feel professional.

I have found out a cool tutorial that teach you how to add/change favicon to your Blogger blog. Check it out.

A New Look at iNicholas

2007-07-06T22:27:00.000+08:00

Thanks Jack for uploading this great template for blogger. I just change my template to a 3 column template and I love it so much. With 3 column and navigation tab above, it is easy for me to sort things out. The theme is call Garland, original is from Wordpress, then someone coded it into Blogger format. It's hard to find nice template for blogger but easy for Wordpress.

Though, problogger like Kumiko, John Chow uses 2 column blog to make money. They are so pro, but I feel that 3 column will look neater. Unless your blog is clean and less stuff at the sidebar there, then a 3 column template is good for you.

Well, I also added Favicon into this blog. A simple initial of my name "N". By the way, this blog is best viewed in a widescreen resolution.

Do you like my new blog template?

What Am I Waiting For To Get A Domain?

2007-07-05T19:50:00.000+08:00

YOU MUST GET A DOMAIN IF YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE!
YOU MUST GET A DOMAIN IF YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE!
YOU MUST GET A DOMAIN IF YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE!

That is what I always tell my friend or people who want to make money online with their blog. However I did not do it. =( Actually there's a lame excuse behind this, because I am lazy and I precious my earning. Well, sometimes you guys will say, get a domain, then earn back the money for the domain name. Yes, I did think of it before. My money in my PayPal bank is enough to get a few domain name, but I didn't use it to buy it.

What am I waiting for?
As for now, I want to earn more first until it reach 100USD, then I promise I'll get myself a domain, plus WEB HOSTING for porting this blog to Wordpress. My mom don't want to sponsor me web hosting fee, she say waste money only. I find a lot of cheap web hosting, server hosted in the local Malaysia here. Although it is cheap, it only allow to host 1 domain. I have 3 blogs (iNicholas, Nicholas Chan's Blog, Made In Penang) and I want 3 to share a hosting. So, now what I have in mind is hosting with GoDaddy.

I think still have a long way to go, not so long if I put all myself into this blogging world.

Why I want to use Wordpress?
Well, Wordpress looks more professional and fierce. Haha. money maker John Chow, Kumiko, Dosh Dosh, LiewCF, 5xMom, all these probloggers uses Wordpress. Besides that, with Wordpress, I can find a lot of very very nice blog templates and plugins. While for Blogger, I can hardly find nice template. Well, I believe there are many hacks out there for Blogger, so do Wordpress. =]

I now I can buy domain first but then getting a domain with hosting is cheaper. XD It's $1.99/domain while getting a single domain without hosting is $7.99/domain.

Well, if you have some cash and plan to start a blog to make money, then you must get a domain for your blog. Because I got no cash at starting, so I need to make my own cash out of this blog. =D

For people who want to get a domain, you can try Namecheap.com. This month coupon code is BOTTLEROCKET.

There's A Problem In The Removing of "nofollow" tag In iNicholas

2007-07-05T18:52:00.000+08:00

Now I have a problem with the "nofollow" do follow thingy. I have already remove the rel="nofollow" tag in my blog template HTML but somehow at the comment area, the nofollow tag still appear. I don't understand why. I am still looking for a solution so solve this problem. Feel free to guide me by writing at the comment area or contact me at the Email tab above at the navigation area there. So sorry that I give the wrong information before this! I will have the nofollow thing fix soon, but it's free to drop a comment you know? Hehe

Added Blogrolls

2007-07-04T22:03:00.000+08:00

I added Do Follow Blogrolls and Link Exchange Blogrolls into the Link tab above. So if you want to Link Exchange with me, your like will be appear at the Link tab above. As for Do Follow bloggers, you can also find the blogrolls of blogger who has "nofollow" tag remove there.

With a additional page for Links, this will be easy for sorting out and will look tidy on page or else all the Links at the sidebar will be very long and ugly.

Why I Dump HaloScan Comment in Blogger?

2007-07-04T18:32:00.001+08:00

I am a bad boy. First, I use the iframe feature for adding the comment window into the same page as a post.

Then I change to HaloScan comment system for it look.

Now, I change back to the first one again. I received an email from Tricia who make the Do Follow blogroll and get to know that HaloScan actually have the "no follow" tag on even you have deleted it in Blogger's HTML page.

That's sucks man. Sorry guys that I told you guys the wrong information. I have deleted the HaloScan commenting system in my blog and installed back the original commenting system in the same page as the post.

Don't worry of the popup comment windows, now you can write your comment in the same page you are reading and besides that, dropping a comment here gets you a linkback. The remove of "no follow" tag works with Blogger commenting system.

Besides remove of "no follow" tag not working in HaloScan, another bad thing about HaloScan is it doesn't tells you which post your reader has comment in. But with Blogger, when someone commented on a post, you will receive an email about which post and what your reader has write a comment on.

HaloScan comment only look nice as it look like commenting in a Wordpress blog. I definitely don't recommend HaloScan to you unless HaloScan improves their feature like removing "no follow", tell you which post you reader has commented in.

2007-07-03T23:30:00.000+08:00

Dell New Laptops Release In Malaysia, XPS M1330, Inspiron 1520

2007-07-03T21:00:00.000+08:00

Today, I read in Malaysia's local newspaper, The Star and surprisingly found out the Dell advertisement showing the latest upcoming model Dell XPS M1330. Before that I thought that it will be as expensive as the Sony SZ and MacBook Pro, but the price is shockingly cheaper than both of the model.

At Dell's Malaysia Website, it shows that the price start from RM3,999 but in the paper is RM5k. Actually the RM5k model include 3 Years XPS Premium Service and with higher end processor. It's quite a good deal as it is light (only 1.8kg), thin, DirectX 10 graphic processing unit and with HDMI output for HDTV and more!

Besides the classy looking XPS M1330, Dell also releases new Inspiron laptop with improved design, upgraded RAM, processor and intergrated 2.0 megapixels webcam into the LCD screen. So it's basically on par with the MacBook and with a cheaper price and better looking to previous model. There are 8 colors for you to choose from and to me, I like White, Black, Blue and Red one. But Black and White is the best.

Check out Dell Website now for more offers.

Google Adsense Now Rounder

2007-07-03T20:48:00.000+08:00

Google AdSense has just introduced an option which lets you cuztomize the look of your ad with rounded edges. You can choose from ads with slightly rounded corners, very rounded corners or the original square corner.

With rounded corner, I think it will somehow look better on some blog templates. Thus, attracting reader to take a look at the Google Ads, then when they visit the site in Google Ads, walla, you earned.
Well, people out there have been trying out with the new rounded corner Google Ads, you can also try blending the ads with your blog templates color.

There is only 1 Google ads here in this blog which is on your right at the sidebar area. I will find a suitable Google ads format only then I'll install here in this blog.

Check out Google's Official AdSense blog for more information of this new changes on the AdSense.

Generate revenue from your website. Google AdSense.

Leave Comments and Get Linkbacks for FREE

2007-07-02T20:14:00.000+08:00

I need to create some writer-reader interactions here. So Hi readers, for your information, leaving a comment here benefits you. Why? Because I have "nofollow" tag remove here in this blog - iNicholas.

Basically it works like that, you submit a comment here, at the any link that appear at the comment area like you typed in your blog site or website at the Homepage area or inside the comment box, it will consider a blog reaction in Technorati. Meaning you gain a linkback from here, thus increasing your Technorati Blog Authority, Technorati Rank and Google Pagerank.

This is a win-win situation as I gain interaction between me and my lovely fellow reader while you gain a linkback, you know, it's free to leave a comment here. Hehe.

I believe having "nofollow" tag remove in your blog can attract more reader to leave a comment.

I Love Advertlets

2007-07-02T19:15:00.000+08:00

Ok, this is not a sponsored post. Continue reading why I love Advertlets. Maybe for foreigners out there, not from Malaysia may not like Advertlets because the pay out currency is in RM. Whatever it is, it's part of my money making source.

Advertlets.com is an Asian blog/weblog advertising network that offers the remarkably sensible proposition of targeted, unintrusive advertising that benefits the online advertising and blogger community, as well as their readers. With Web 2.0, the Ads is prettier and cooler than other Internet ads.

Looking back at my Day 39 : Earning Report, my Advertlets earning was only RM50.81, RM50 was me doing a review for Advertlets, can say a paid post then the RM0.81 was page impressions. No click. Now I realise that if you get, lets say thousand of visitors a day to your blog, just a click you will earn a lot because your page impression is high.

Guess how much I earned now? I am near to cashout amount which is RM100. Make your guess, I will tell at my next earning report maybe by this weekend. Maybe at that time, my Advertlets earning is already over RM100 and eligible for cashout. Let me tell you, you just guess 1 number, RM9x.00, what is X number?

Besides placing ads on blog with Advertlets, sometimes they pay for reviews. Currently the ads are Malaysia and Singapore based, so you have to wait until Advertlets expand their service to other country. But note : You can signed up for Advertlets wherever you are at, and get pay. For Asia blogger, I recommends you to use Advertlets as it is easy to make money online.

Note again :
RM is Malaysia Ringgit (MYR) Use XE converter to convert RM to your local currency.

A Little Traffic Increase in iNicholas

2007-07-02T18:55:00.000+08:00

I am smiling for the for past 2 days, because there is a little traffic increase in this blog - iNicholas. So from a normal 25-50 visits per day boost to 100+ visits. Even though it is not a big number, I am happy with that.

However, I still don' see reader writing comment here. FYI, dropping a comment here will get you a linkback. ^^ I am not kidding, because I have the "nofollow" tag remove, but no spam allow.

The secret behind this little increase in traffic is some work done by me like submitting latest post in to social bookmarking site like del.icio.us for people to check it out (stay tune as I will guide you on how to attract more visitors to your blog with this method), reading Do Follow blog and write a comment there, ask my friends to read my site.

I hope the traffic of this blog will continue like this, constant, like 100+ visitors everyday. Then later, if I really get 100+ visitors per day to this blog, then I shall set a higher target to achieve.

I just signed up for Google Analytics for more detail traffic report, so I get my site stat from BumpZEE and MyBlogLog, both are social community for blogger.

If you have BumpZEE widget installed in your blog, a site counter at the widget will be visible by you only. So with this, you can get to know how many visitor has visits your blog today and yesterday.

OnlyWire Helps Increase Traffic To Your Site

2007-07-01T00:31:00.000+08:00

So how does this works? You first need to sign up for accounts at all of the social bookmarking site listed in OnlyWire. Be patience, take your time and sign up slowly. Then you key in your username and password.

It is because that when you submit a site or post onto Social Bookmarking site like Del.icio.us, Digg and more, people will come and check it out your post. There are many Social Bookmarking site out there but it takes time for you to submit one by one.

So with OnlyWire, you can submit a post to many social bookmarking site with just one click and fast loading. It helps me increase visitor to my blog and I kinda love that service. So it's another method to draw new visitors and share information with other Internet user.

Check it out now. Yay, tomorrow I am going to watch Transfomers. Haha

Make a Contact Form For Your Blog

2007-06-30T18:12:00.000+08:00

I realize many problogger's blog have a "Contact Me" link in their site. When you click it, it will bring you to a contact form which allow you to send a message to the owner of the blog.

I think it is a must to have a contact page in your blog so that whenever your reader have question or anything want to talk to you, they can just drop their message at the contact form.

This enable you to stealth your original email address and also speed up time. As to me, whenever I click an email link, my Microsoft Outlook will load very slow and make my computer laggy.

For Blogger user, there isn't a contact page for blogger. What you can do is sign up for Contactify which creates a contact page for you. When you click on the Email Me at the navigation area above, it will bring you to a new page which allows you to type in your message then send to me.

So if you got any question, you can just email me and I hope I can help you. =]

iNicholas Do Follow You

2007-06-29T17:29:00.000+08:00

I just made some tweaks to my blog and now my blog follow you. You can get a linkback when you drop me a comment. =]

Almost all blog platforms by default have nofollow tag. No Follow is probably to fight spam as when you post a link on a comment area where that blog have No Follow, your link will not count as a linkback from that blog. Thus, does not increase Technorati Authority.

Benefits :
If remove the "nofollow" tag from your blog, whenever someone write a comment, he or she gets a linkback from this blog. It's also a win-win situation as this encourage reader to drop me a comment and he gets a linkback, which then increase Pagerank and Technorati rank.

Read here on how to remove "nofollow" tag on your blog.

After removing "nofollow" tag, your blog is now "Do Follow". ^^

Technorati Ranking and Authority is Working Now

2007-06-29T17:10:00.000+08:00

Recently, I wrote about my Technorati ranking and authority problem. Now it's working now and back online. Thanks to the effective support forum in Technorati. I tried to email them last time but didn't get their reply, so I decided to post my problem at their forum. Very fast, now my ranking and authority is working again. Cheer for me =]

Wordpress Liked Commenting System in Blogger

2007-06-29T16:57:00.000+08:00

Yesterday I wrote about writing comment in the same page for blogger blog which is intergrating iframe for comment window in a the same page of a blog post. I now found out a new way to make your commenting system looks like Wordpress commenting system which doesn't requires iframe and you can just type your comment in the comment form.

You can now do this easily with Haloscan. Sign up an account at Haloscan and then click install at the submenu. Choose the blog service you use which is Blogger (New Version) then follow instruction on screen, you will have your comment form in your post very soon.

With this, your blog will look more professional and will not annoyed by popup comment.

However, I am still figuring which code to edit because at my homepage, whenever someone click on the comment a popup still appear, I need to link the comment to my post area, anybody know how to?

2007-06-28T19:56:00.000+08:00

With AdesClrPicker, you can do the same much faster. With their small and fast color picker tool, you don't have to wait for Photoshop to load just to capture one color from the screen and the software is not expensive too, only at $9.99. Easy right?

By the way, Ades from Ades Design has a blog located at AdesBlog.com, you can find news and updates about web technologies and web development there.

PayPerPost Paid Me!

2007-06-28T19:35:00.000+08:00

Now I only know the payment system of PayPerPost is in monthly basis. Yesterday night, before I went to bed, I check my Gmail inbox then surprisingly found out that they sent me an email saying that they have credited money into my PayPal account. I excited but I was too sleepy and just went to bed. Just now when came back from school, I straight go check out my PayPal account and YES! They sent me my first payment. $6, although it is quite a small amount, at least it's better than nothing right?

Comment In The Same Page for Blogger Blog

2007-06-28T19:04:00.000+08:00

I need to thank Jack for exploring this feature. Now you can comment within post on a Blogger blog. Usually, when you want to comment in a post, you click on the Post A Comment link then a new window will pop-up or bring you into a new site which is mainly for your comment. This is one of the disadvantage of using FREE Blogger blogging service.

Reader sometimes lazy to click or dislike the popup window, thus you get less feedbacks.

While in Wordpress, user can just simply type in their name, URL and email and message at the comment box which appear in the same page of a post then hit a button, his comment will then appear.

CLICK HERE FOR TUTORIAL

With this tutorial by Jack, you can now post comment within the post page. This uses iframe, so below this post, you will find a little box showing the comment page which should be popup. After posting your comment, you will see it immediately. Isn't that cool?

If you have any problem, you can drop me a message at the comment area or contact me via the contact link tab above.

My Windows Live Messenger Problem

2007-06-27T22:02:00.000+08:00

Ok last time I had a problem with my Windows Live Messenger. It always sign in sign out sign in sign out. So annoying and make my computer so laggy. Last Friday, I scan my PC with Spyware Doctor and clear all the stupid spyware, surprisingly on that night, my WLM didn't sign out. Happy of course, but now the problem come back again. I somemore scan virus, 0 threats, don't know why I got this problem! I can't chat with my friend smoothly already, it will separate us for a few minutes then only can chat back. Sigh.

Hongkiat.com Was Hacked

2007-06-27T21:57:00.000+08:00

Scary. 2 days ago, Hongkiat.com was hacked. The site that I read often about making money online and technology. So what he advise people out there who uses Wordpress always upgrade your Wordpress to the latest version.

Anyway, the site is back online. Luckily I am using Blogger service, there are disadvantages and sounds so unprofessional, but I will soon ported this blog to Wordpress when I save enough money for hosting.

Blog Hopping Helps You Gain Traffic?

2007-06-27T21:41:00.000+08:00

One of the method that will help you gain a little traffic and draw some new visitor to your website is by Blog Hopping. Blog Hopping is actually that you goes around blog, then you leave a message at someone's tagboard or comment area. From this blog, you click on the link to another blog then click on link from another blog to ANOTHER blog. You hop here hop there.

When you leave a message at someone's tagboard, somehow the owner of the blog will check out your blog. I don't have a tagboard here. Will install soon. Or if don't have tagboard, you hop to other blog, then you didn't even read the content you hop to another blog again, then your little avatar will appear on the Blog Social Service like BumpZee, BlogCatalog, MyBlogLog.

Does doing these really help you gain traffic?
I think is yes BUT.
Ok, let's talk about yes. When you tag somebody, curiosity of someone will make him come to your site and take a look. If he is a avid blogger, he somehow will read your post and comment you. Then you gain a new visitor. If keep doing this, more and more curious people will come to your site. But this take a lot of times, don't be lazy, make money online need patience, haha.

BUT, when you do these - tagging, hopping, comment unrelated to topic. People will just think that you are trying to gain traffic. Message like this : Cool blog, visit mine too! or You got a nice site. Check out mine :), people sure think you are drawing traffic and not really reading his blog.

Try leaving different message. Read his post, discuss about it or say your opinion on it, then only in the end ask him to visit your blog, or don't, because there is a link on your name when your post a comment/tag.

I do blog hopping and it works, but I always lazy. Haha. Hey I shouldn't be lazy. But it's the best to deliver good content rather than non-updated blog and then do blog hopping just for gaining traffic.

My Technorati Problems

2007-06-27T21:25:00.000+08:00

Do you use Technorati? I have 5 blog register with Technorati. If you don't know what is Technorati, then I'll tell you what it is now. Very simple, Technorati is one of the blog ranking site like Alexa or Google Page Rank, and then it's also a blog directories where you can find lots of cool blog, a blog search. Higher Technorati rank means easier to get accept for ad publisher account and higher pay post.

Even one of my very old retired blog have 3 authority.

I don't why I have this problems. I have blogs link to this site, but at Technorati it shows "No authority yet" although they show 134 blog reactions which mean 134 blog link to this site.

I tried contact Technorati but no reply from them. Now I just submit a post regarding the problem at their forum and waiting for people's help and reply. If I my authority doesn't gain, my Technorati rank will be low and I will be rejected when signing up ad publisher service.

Do you face this problem too? Or you know any solution that can help me?

Make Money Online List

2007-06-26T17:48:00.000+08:00

I now come up with a list advertising service, sponsored review and other source that can help you make money online. FYI, all of this is safe.

1. Google Adsense
The very popular, used by many user in many site and blogs. You place the contextual ads on your site then when someone click on it, you earn. You can also earn by referring products when like Firefox, Google Pack, when people download and install the program, you will earn $1. After you accumulate $100, you are ready to cash out, your payment will be send by check via post.

2. Text Link Ads / TLA
If you have a new blog, you will probably be rejected unless your blog got real GOOD traffic. So, if you got a blog that always have readers and new visitors, it's good to sign up for TLA. When your blog is approved, you place the link code in your blog. Then wait for Advertiser to buy link on it, no click is require. You get payment every end of the month. Rejected? Nevermind, try their Affiliates program.

3. Advertlets
Advertlets is a Malaysia based Internet advertising company. It's not contexual ads, but it need visitor to do a poll on the poll+ads area which user place on his site. Then according to the poll, Advertlets will decide which ads to show on the site. This is more for Asian user as the advertisement still more for Malaysian. Not a good choice because the payout currency is in Ringgit Malaysia (RM) which is lower than US$. Anyway, you can give it a try.

4. Nuffnang
Like Advertlets, it is made in Malaysia. It's only for Malaysian and Singapore. Nuffnang promised to extend their network to other country in the future. Their payout rate is RM50/S$50. They often organize event like special movie screening, bloggers gathering for bloggers here.

5. Adbrite
Ok, I didn't use this before. According to KUMIKO, this is not recommended. However, I see many sites using this ad service. Maybe you can give it a try then let me know whether it's good or not.

6. Friend Finder
Looking for chat partner or life partner? Join Friend Finder now. You will think, HUH? How to make money with Friend Finder? It's easy, just invite your friend to join FriendFinder, and every woman signed up you'll get $2 while man $1. So good right? Can meet new friends and make money at the same time.

7. PayPerPost
The kinda famous paid post website. I used this too. Earning some money from it. For blog with 0 pagerank, you can find opportunity for as low as $5 to write about, then with that money at least you can get yourself a domain for you blog. 5xmom earned $9k from writing paid post. So why don't you start making money online with it? So easy, write, submit, wait for payout. This is good for bloggers, as you can blog while earning money just with some writings.

8. Smorty
Another paid post company. Still got many paid post company below. This is one of it. I tried Smorty a few weeks ago, and Smorty is the first one to pay me. I earned my first dollar online with Smorty. They payout very fast, weekly based and not monthly.

9. Bloggerwave
Paid post service. A kinda new service and I got 2 post approved already. Can't wait for the payout by the end of the month.

10. Blogsvertise
Not much to say. Another paid post service. Got paid by them.

11. Sponsored Review
Although it is a paid post service, it works like this, you look for an advertiser than you place your bid on the post. When the advertiser approve your bid, you ready to blog then submit then wait for approval and payout again.

12. Adbux
You don't need to place any code on your site. What you are require to do is click on ads and refer your friend to join. It's the easiest way to make money online

13. ClickForCents
Similar with Adbux, but each click is different $ instead of all ads in Adbux is $0.01.

14. Xpango
Not making money online but it is getting free gift online. You invite your friend to sign up, every sign up helps you earn a credit. You need the credit to get your free gift like Xbox 360, PS3, Nintendo Wii, LG Prada, Nokia mobile phone, PSP, iPod and more.

15. LinkWorth (thanks Stoddart)
It's like combination of Adsense and PayPerPost. You sign up and you can choose from a few service they offered like paid post, ads on your site. From the site, it says that you earn 70% of ad revenue. Pretty cool.

16. BidVertiser
You place contexual ads in your blog according to the topic you write. So almost similar to Adsense, PPC (Pay per Click), so when people click on it, you get $. You are required to choose a category for you blog, then BidVertiser will shows ads related to the category of your blog. It pays using PayPal.

17. Chitika
If you have a site or blog that review product like gaming peripherals, computer hardware, gadgets or others. This is good for you, you can use Chitika eMiniMalls. The eMiniMalls is a CPC (Cost per Click) ads service for you site. It display products related to your sites and when people click on it, it bring them straight to the online stores.

18. Oxado (thanks TerryG)
Now you can have think of other contexual ads network besides Google Adsense. It's completely free and high revenue thanks to exclusive parnerships with the lasget Cost per Click and Cost per Acquisition network in the world like Yahoo! Search Marketing. The good is no traffic minimum and monthly payments. Sign up now!

That's all for what I know. If you know any, you can contribute to the list here, I'll add your link here. Drop me a commend or send me an email. Cheer

Help Me Get A Xbox 360 or Wii

iPhone, 3 More Days.

2007-06-26T17:13:00.000+08:00

Apple very anticipating iPhone will be releasing on 29 June. Which mean 3/4 more days later. Er, not here in Malaysia but in the States. Why not ASIA?!! Don't know why, my phone just spoiled and I need a new phone. However, iPhone is too expensive is way out of my budget.

So basically what iPhone can do is :
-Touch screen keypad, which your thumb not stylus.
-Full HTML Email
-Wifi
-2 megapixel camera
-Google Maps
-You Tube
-Web Browser
-iPod + Video

What I don't like about the iPhone is :
-No 3G.
-Capacity too low, need more like 15GB, 30 GB.
-That's all I think.

Apple release the phone on a special time, not on 0000 hours 29 June but at 6pm, 29 June. So people, geeks, freaks, Apple fanboy will get it after working hour.

If I got a chance to own that phone, I would love to. =)

Why I am NOT Using PayPerPost Here?

2007-06-23T18:58:00.001+08:00

There are some readers email me to use PayPerPost to make money. FYI, I am using PayPerPost, but not on this blog. I do write sponsored post on my personal weblog. According to PayPerPost, a blog must be 90 days old only can sign up for it. So how old is this blog? 39 days, 51 days to go until I can do paid post here. So if you are new to making money online, you can try PayPerPost, and write a short review on the advertiser's product, then you get paid. Easy right? Sign up now!

Day 39 : My Earning Report

2007-06-23T18:39:00.000+08:00

Hi, most of my earning is not from this blog. I own 3 blogs and I want to fully utilize the Internet and blog. So my earning is mostly from paid post and sponsored post. My Ads on my site are earning very SLOW! Like Google Adsense and Adverlets on my personal weblog. I kinda in love in paid post. I don't write a lot of paid post as I don't want people/advertiser to think of my blog is a blog that full of sponsored post.

It had been 39 days since I started making money online. Although I installed Adsense in my blog for a long time, but the earning is very very slow, and always 0 click. So the first dollar I made online is from Smorty.

So far so good. I have earned :
$16.80 from Smorty.
Although I earned some dollar from Adsense, I don't want to list it here as the earning is darn low and not at payout level yet.
RM50.81 from Advertlets. (RM50 very easy to get just by reviewing them and 0.81 is via clicks)

And I will be paid :
$10 by Bloggerwave
$16 by PayPerPost

I am happy with it because at least there is some money in my PayPal. Have a nice day!

How Malaysians Withdraw Money From PayPal

2007-06-23T18:25:00.000+08:00

Hi all, I am a newbie to make money online. So I just found out that Hong Kiat wrote a good post on how a Malaysian can withdraw money directly from Paypal.

FYI, Paypal do not accept Malaysia Bank Account, so you can't withdraw your money straight to your Malaysia's bank. What you can do is sign up for a Virtual Money ATM cards and then follow some steps, walla, you will got your cash in no time.

Check out the tutorial here, need to thanks Hong Kiat for this great tutorial.

I am still not ready to withdraw money yet as my earning is still low. HOWEVER, at least I earned. Cheer!

My Ubuntu CD Kit Arrived!

2007-06-23T17:41:00.000+08:00

Few weeks ago, I signed up for the free installation CD of Ubuntu online. On the site stated there the kit will arrived like 3 or more weeks. I think it took 2 weeks plus to arrive at my mailbox. I haven't install it yet, but I try live booting it. The UI is not bad, and very simple function. So if you get a new laptop and with FreeDOS, you can try to install Linux first which is free first before getting a original Windows Vista.

Ah! Right, or other saying, you don't have $$ to buy an original copy of Windows, then you use Ubuntu first, then blog for money. When you got enough money, you then buy yourself a Windows. Fun right?

Although I can download from the net for free, I just lazy to wait. I more like to install from a CD. Ubuntu Website.

Apple released Safari browser for Windows

2007-06-12T22:59:00.000+08:00

There a new software for download at Apple website which is Safari 3 Beta for Mac and PC. Now Windows user like me can use Safari web browser for surfing the web. You must remember that it is still in Beta phase so, it might be buggy and not perfect yet.

This was announced on the recent WWDC 07. The keynote was shown live last night at 1am Malaysian Time, because today I have school so I could not watch it last night.

I of course downloaded this browser to try out and see how good it is. I never used the previous Safari before as I am on Windows. Poor me, don't have $ to get a Mac.

Before and now, I am always using Mozilla Firefox. Althought there is Internet Explorer 7 in my PC, I hate to use it because of it is very slow to load and lag of plug-ins. What so special about the Safari 3? Nothing much I feel, it uses different font type, better looking User Interface than IE and Firefox, you know Mac is always very nice. All the other feature is just same as Firefox.

The Down Side?
It uses more memory than Firefox. Safari uses 121k MB while Firefox uses 61k MB while 2 running together at the same time. Sometimes my Firefox can go quite high. I need more RAM! I think that nowadays, most program uses a lot of memory so need at least 1GB RAM.

Apple's site claim that Safari is the world's best browser. So is it real? I don't know, I think people are starting to migrate from Internet Explorer to Firefox, but now comes another one GOOD browser, I would say, why not give it a try? Firefox still win Safari yet because of various plugins and skins for download which you give you try out new features.

Just now I tried Safari, the page load is kinda slow. Maybe is my Internet connection was slow, or maybe not, haha.

In conclusion, I like the UI, looks like iTunes for Windows, it's tabbed browsing feature, but I will still sticked with Firefox. :)

Download Safari 3 Beta
Get Firefox with Google Toolbar

Make Easy Money With Text Link Ads

2007-06-11T20:23:00.000+08:00

Do you know Text Link Ads? Text Link Ads maybe a better way to earn some $ from your blog. If you have a blog that have lots of traffic but reader don't seems to click on your Adsense or other advertisement on your blog, then Text Link Ads will help you. No click will required, BUT your blog need to have good traffic, high page and Alexa rank, so advertiser will buy links on your blog.

What does buying link on your blog means?
After TLA accepted your blog, advertiser will surf through TLA site and look for a good blog with high traffic to place their link. You will need to reserve an area for TLA to add links of advertiser into it. It more likely to look like a link to other nice page rather than an advertisement. Then TLA will pay you on how many sold link that place on your blog monthly via check.

TLA pays 50% of the he sale price with you. No clicks and no page impression required. Cool right? Somemore, you can place TLA on your blog even though if you already have other contextual ad like Google Adsense.

High Google Page Rank Site and Alexa Rank will sell more links. My blog is not eligible for Text Link Ads yet as it is still a new site and very low traffic. However, why not try out their Affiliates program or get $100 in FREE links first?

So easy, sign up Text Link Ads NOW! Highly recommend it to you guys.

Windows Live Messenger 8.5 BETA

2007-06-10T15:02:00.001+08:00

I know it is available if download via BT, but I was just lazy to do so. Haha, but anyway, after a few days, the official BETA version release on the net. So what is so special about the new one?

Review Back

2007-06-08T00:03:00.000+08:00

Check this out, I found a new method to make your blog more popular, it's Review Back. I haven't try it yet, but I guess it will help you do more link exchange. As this time, you don't pay for people to review you, it's exchanging blog review for FREE.

You register yourself, then submit your blog. Then, look for review to exchange, just like looking for opportunity in PayPerPost. You review someone's blog, then he or she review back. Like this, readers will read the review on your blog and somehow he will click on it, then walla, you will get new reader and gain another link exchange. Like this, it improved your Technorati rank as your link count increases.

I will try it out soon then tell you guys whether it works or not. You guys can try it out too, and if you guys are user or Review Back, please share your experience. Cheer.

Something you should know that Lowyat is the name of a shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and you can find computer parts, hardware, electronics and video games there. If you are looking for computer stuff, you should go there, Lowyat Plaza at Bukit Bintang. That is why tech enthusiast created this site for geeks to gather around on the Internet.

Dell XPS m1330

2007-06-05T14:46:00.001+08:00

I am blogging on my desktop and I have always wanted a laptop for myself so that I can blog on the go or when I go somewhere else. I am just a student, I can't afford my own laptop, I need to get good results in school so that my dad can reward me a laptop. A small, affordable, mid specs laptop will be enough for me like the MacBook, but dad want to get me a cool one will be good. Hehe.

Like this cool laptop, the Dell XPS m1330. The design is very nice and classy. Can fight with Sony SZ and have a quite high-end specs.

[image from Engadget.com] The design quite cool right?

Check out the specs, darn cool :

13.3" screen is good enough as it is not big but not small and also the laptop I like, MacBook is also only 13.3" :). This laptop lack wireless N if have, it will be perfect. Some more, this have HDMI output and DirectX 10 GPU so you can get High Definition pictures on your monitor or TV.

Let's just hope the price will not be very expensive.

iPhone releasing on 29th June

2007-06-05T00:59:00.000+08:00

[image from Engadget.com]

From Engadget.com, so it is confirmed that this iPhone will be releasing on 29th June, so it's like 3 more weeks to go until it release and ready to use by geeks. One more thing is the ads are up on Apple's site, you can check it out.

Hey! It's only US, what about us in Asia?
Still remember last time when iPhone was announced during the keynote? It is stated that will be hit Asia shores in 2007. So let's wait and see.

To me, only iPhone's design and multitouch screen attracted me, other than that is boring, I want more capacity, WiFi and 3G.

Do you want an iPhone? Do you like it?

Use Google Reader to Read Feeds

2007-06-05T00:15:00.000+08:00

I read feeds with Google Reader everyday so I recommend it to you guys. I feel it's better to read feed in browser than in a feed reader software. I've tried a couple of feed reader software, but none of it is nice, the UI sucks and I hate the load time.

Google Reader UI and Expanded Post View.

Why I loves Google Reader?
Google Reader is very easy to use. Just point yourself to Google Reader website and you can start reading the news and also it load very fast and smoothly. It is because that when you sign in to Google account, Google stay you login to it and no need type your username and password again. No double click, everything is done with a click and there is a number beside the title to shows that how many item is new which you haven't read it.

List View, read the title of the post first before going into the post.

Bookmarked Google Reader, put a shortcut on your desktop, so every time you start up your computer or your browser, you can quickly get into Google Reader and enjoy reading the feed you have subscribe.

Bookmarked!

I will soon come up with how to subscribe to feed for newbie and why you should subscribe to feed. :) Cheer. I bet it's easier to read blog via RSS, meaning that reading a blog on feed aggregator like Google Reader.

Go to Google Reader Now.

PayPerPost Accepted My 2nd Post

2007-06-04T18:13:00.000+08:00

Previously, PayPerPost rejected my post because I did not disclose my post. However, this time I do, and they accepted my post but still not yet pay out yet. I now need to wait for PayPerPost to pay me through PayPal.

From the day I post, I check my email everyday to wait for this mail. They took 1 day to reject my post but took them 4 days to approve my post. Haha. Anyway, I feel happy because they have approved my post. Because PayPerPost haven't pay me yet, so I still not yet make my first dollar online. Let's try something else. :)

Another Source Of Making Money Online - smorty

2007-05-30T23:49:00.000+08:00

I've forgotten where I read about SMORTY. Anyway, I just found another PayPerPost-liked service, it is Smorty. I don't know much about Smorty, I am new to it. Their service is like PayPerPost but the pay is quite low. Why am I talking about but? I shouldn't talking the but yet. I tell you, being a newcomer to Making Money Online should not think of how low they pay is. The most important thing for me now is make my first dollar online. When your blog become more popular and you make more money that time, then you can think of further plan and make more $$. =D

Ok, let's back to smorty. I signed up Smorty with my personal blog. So there are only 4 opportunities for me and I have submit 1 review. I found out that there is a advertiser that can be found in PayPerPost and Smorty, but he offer $6 with PayPerPost while Smorty offer $4.80, I don't care, I just want to make my first dollar online! :) I still not getting used to Smorty so I think that maybe a higher ranking blog get higher pay opportunity (smorty user please share your experience).

Now you got another source of making money $$ online. Happy making $$ !

Boost Your Site Traffic With MyBlogLog

2007-05-30T19:26:00.000+08:00

I didn't write a how to boost traffic before. This is one way that I found out how to boost traffic to your blog. Do you ever heard of MyBlogLog? It's a very popular social networking site for blogger. It's like MySpace, Facebook and Friendster. When you view someone's profile or site, eventually the little avatar of you will appear on the widget. Automatically, when the owner saw it, she will click it and definitely she'll check out your blog. It works for me, I tried it and I get some unique visitor to my site. Did I said some? Yes, some only, so I still need to work hard to change some to LOT.

Besides just boosting site traffic, making more visitor to your site, MyBlogLog monitors your blog and tell you about your blog stats of the previous day. But the free account only limited to Top 10 of : What people click? Where do readers come from? and What reader viewed? You have to sign up for MyBlogLog Pro in order to do more that. I don't think it's necessary to spend on this, rather you can use free site monitor tool like Google Webmaster Tools, Stat Counter. I haven't sign up for Stat Counter yet, but my friend recommend it to me. With Google Webmaster Tools, you can check your pagerank, site that link to you in Google and more.

I still don't get a lot of visitor to my site yet, so I am good with just Top 10 stats by MyBlogLog free account.

Boosting traffic and viewing site stats is boring, why not join other people's blog community? And then and meet some new friends, just like Friendster Group :).

Kumiko said that you need to have a catchy and interesting avatar in order to attract people. I don't know about that, maybe I should make a VERY INTERESTING and eye cathing avatar for myself. However, I like my current picture of me posting happily at the hill top of Penang Hill. :D

Happy boosting your traffic, viewing your blog stats and making new friends with MyBlogLog!

If you wish to know more about boosting site traffic, subscribe to my feed to get latest updates. ^^

Surface is Microsoft Secret Product

2007-05-30T16:16:00.001+08:00

The secret product that Microsoft going to release which I had mentioned earlier is Microsoft's Surface before that it's call Project Milan. Surface is a multitouch computer having the similar concept as the Apple iPhone. Microsoft calls "surface computers" which use touch as the sole method of input.

Photo resizing and stacking works much like the iPhone's zoom gestures. Also cool is the capacity for multiple users. Drawing and painting with your fingers acting like dipping into paint and paint your own Monalisa sounds fun.

This very cool tech comes at a high price, $10,000. Why so high? Because it's a cool gadget, mah(Malaysian slang)! However, Microsoft expects prices to plummet over the next few years to the point they'll be in your homes. And I read that you are able to play with them at the T-Mobile stores. Sad, no T-Mobile in Malaysia.

So, what I predicted was wrong! Haha, I thought it was a phone. This thing kinda cool to have it, but without a keyboard will be hard to type. Having it in the car and on the table in the living room will be nice.

Check out Microsoft Surface site!

Make Money Online Must Have : Own Domain Name

2007-05-30T15:37:00.000+08:00

After doing some research online, I found out that most "How To Make Money Online/SEO" site have their own domain.

However, there are site making money online on a hosted domain ect blogspot.com, wordpress.com, popular site hosted on these free domain are BloggingSecret, How To Make It Work, Digital Inspiration and former Kumiko CashQuest. It doesn't mean that you should not have your own domain. Even Louiss Lim of Blogging Secret and Kumiko of CashQuests said that it's a mistake not having a domain at first. BUT, if your site is as popular as Cashquests, when switching to a new domain from a free domain, you won't be worry of losing your pagerank and Alexa ranking but the problem is on Technorati ranking, Kumiko just changed his domain in this month and just wrote a post on why he loves his new domain. This is because that you need other people to re-link to your new domain.

Why am I not hosted on a domain?
I am trying to make my first $10 with PayPerPost. After they approved my post, and I will have $6 in PayPal. Then, I will buy my domain. I don't have a credit card, my age not eligiable for a credit card and also I have no income. I just bought www.nickchan.net for my personal weblog with my mom's credit card and I don't want to spend 2nd time for it.
Not I don't want to get a domain, I am waiting for my $$$.

Why you should get a domain?
If you use PayPerPost, you'll know that some opportunity (offer) are available for you to write, but not all you can write to earn $$$, some advertiser need your blog to have high page rank etc. page rank 5,6,7, high Alexa rank, and high Technorati rank and lastly, some advertiser only limit their offer to own domain name (*.com, *.net, *.org, [dot]blablabla) but not free domain like (*.wordpress.com, *.blogspot.com, *.blogsome.com, or myspace). If you have your own domain, you get a wide range of opportunity to write and they get paid!
Click Here To Get Paid By Blogging

If you don't have PayPerPost, having own domain is good because it's more easy to tell people your website. Like when you meet someone, you want to tell them your site, you'll say "Hey buddy, check out my site at NICKCHAN DOT NET", if you tell them "Hey buddy, visit my blog at NICKCHAN DOT BLOGSPOT DOT COM", they might remember at first but when they get home, they may forget it and thinking about "Just now what site did he tell me? NICKCHAN DOT WHAT ALREADY ?"

So, get yourself a domain now! =)
1 Domain isn't very expensive, registering your domain at 1&1 is only $5.99 while NAMECHEAP is at $7.98 after key in coupon. I used NAMECHEAP for my nickchan.ne t.

If you don't like to use Blogger, get yourself a webhosting plan and use Wordpress. The down side for Blogger is the feature is still limited, but there's a lot of hacks and tweak out there. :)

Links

2007-05-30T15:24:00.000+08:00

Link exchange is a good way to boost Technorati ranking and Google Pagerank. In Technorati, we will get the information on how many blog has link to us. Other way to check who is linking you is you type "link:i-nicholas.blogspot.com" without the inverted coma. If you have a lot of link, eventually this will boost your Google Pagerank and Technorati rank.

So, I would love to exchange link with you and share nice links with you guys. This post is specially made for link exchange. To add your link here, please email me at yikyeou[at]gmail[dot]com (click here) or leave your site URL at the comment section here.

I read this in MacRumors and according to Gizmodo, it says that at 12.01am EST, meaning later at 12.01noon Malaysia, Singapore, Beijing Time (GMT+8), Microsoft will be launching something very special.

It's described as "something totally new coming out of the Entertainment and Devices division, and it's going to change the way people interact with technology" and "you really have to see it to believe it"

So, what do you think it is?
I think maybe is the mPhone, Microsoft's cell phone to fight with Apple's iPhone, or new Zune+Phone concept? Microsoft TV?

iPod Recycle Bin Spotted At Microsoft

2007-05-30T10:17:00.000+08:00

Rex Sogratz from MSNBC.com recently visited Microsoft Zune HQ and spotted this little bin at their entrance to Zune HQ. This bin is for employees to dump their iPods. The company is apparently offering amnesty to employees at Zune HQ who give up their iPods in favor of using Zune.

No joke man! If Apple's employees see the iPod in the bin sure on fire. But will we see Zune Amnesty Bin at Apple HQ? HAHA

How to repair scratched discs?

2007-05-30T10:03:00.000+08:00

I stumble across the net and found this little guide on how to repair your scratched discs. I don't know whether it really works or not as I haven't try it. Don't dare to try it on my original scratched CDs. Maybe on some unwanted CD-R. What you need is stuff that can find in your house, toothpaste.

You no need to buy expensive liquid or foam to repair scratched discs. All you need is just toothpaste. Yes, I said toothpaste. With the toothpaste, you can fix the scratches on the discs and get the shiny back.

Here how you can do it by yourself to repair the scratched discs.

Put toothpaste on the disc surface.
Apply the toothpaste all over the scratches.
Rinse with water.
Dry it with clean cloth.
Done!

[image removed, scared google ban me, haha]

I like this song Long Way To Go by Cassie. See my Google Adsense!! I only earned $10.59 in total and today's earning is only $0.0x. Man, this is a newbie income, so LONG WAY TO GO to paycheck. Any ideas to improve my earning? Comments are welcome.

On the other hand, I still waiting PayPerPost to approve my post. If it is approved, then that will be my first $6.00 that I earn online. Already one day already! Still wating for their email.

Let's make money online together, shall we?
