Blogging is a very popular topic nowadays, young and once young are doing this thing. So, what really is a Blog, and what does blogging mean? A blog is a type of website maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video (source: en.wikipedia.org).

A blogsite is like an individuals online diary, it's the place where he writes his thoughts, or discuss about anything relevant to him.

Blogging has now become and indemand topic, not just because its the people way of sharing his ideas, but also it is now the main source of income for a lot of people. How does it work? Simple. It's the same concept as displaying an item on a shopping mall, and waiting for the consumers to buy it. It's all about advertising. Most bloggers has signed up and teamed with Google Adsense. For those who are not familiar with it, Google Adsense is an advertisement application run by Google. Website owners can enroll in this program to enable text, image, and more recently, video (source: en.wikipedia.org). In return, the blogsite owners earns a percentage each time the ads has been clicked. But, then again, for you to be able to start earning a reasonable income, we must first know how to create a blog.

It's very user friendly, and right after you register, you can then right away blog your first article and publish it so other people from all over the world can read it. 

I would like to share to you a video about creating a blog. It is very informative. View it and start blogging right away. Happy Blogging! 

Sell your stuff at multiply. com.

Multiply.com is a website where you can meet new friends, share your photos, experiences, and it can even be your income generating machine. Yes, you have heared it right. Multiply.com is not just a place where you can keep in touch with the people who matters to you, but it can also be your online store. I have come acrossed to this site before, and I decided to post the pictures of my stuff there, and sell it. I posted my contact number, and guess what? somebody browsed through my page, got interested with my stuff, and bought it. Easy money, right? So, if I were you, i'd grab this chance, and sell your stuff at multiply.com.

First, you need to go www.multiply.com, and register. It is for free. Once you become a registered member, you can then personalized yaour page, and create your own profile. Make it as eye catching as possible so that people will visit your page.

Upload and post your stuff in there, it's as easy as uploading a usual photo of yours. You can sell just anything, used clothes, shoes, bags, jewelries or even houses and cars! Just a tip, make sure to indicate the price as well so people will no longer ask you for the price. Leave your contact numbers as wel just incase a potential buyer will inquire about the product.

You can customized the URL of your site. You can use your own name so people will easily remember it (yourname.multiply.com).

You can also upload not just pictures but also videos and music.

I should say that multiply.com is one of my favorite site, it's a good place to find new friends, keep the old ones, and most of all earn money!!!

Odesk.com This is a real job and legit!

I have come acrossed odesk.com a few months back, and I should say it is very reliable, and really a legitimate site. You get to meet real clients who will pay you as much as $1000 depending on the weight of the job. You can find a lot of job being offered such sa data entry, virtual assistance, progammer, copy and paste jobs, transcriber and a lot more. Clients are what we call the buyer. They will post job they need to get done, and they are looking for providers. Providers are the ones who will do and complete the job for the buyer. There is no money or fee involve, so that means you will not spend even a single centavos.

Before you can apply for any jobs available, you first need to meet their requirements.

1. Take exams. You will have to take a test and you should be able to pass it. You can choose which subject or category you would like to take, there is English profiency test, customer service and others.

2. Install odesk ready program on your computer. It is a software that will take a screen shot of what you are doing on your computer. It is an evidence if you are really doing the task given to you by the buyer or not.

In odesk.com, you get to bid for the said project. But, as a beginner, I suggest you start with a small amount so you can attract buyers. Also, make sure to impress your buyers because they have the option to write a review or comment regarding your performance, so it is always safe to receive a good feeback. Providers can also provide feedback to their buyers.

In applying for a project, take it seriously. It is like applying for a real job because you still have to send your cover letter to the buyer. Once you are choosen, he will invite you for an interview either through Skype, Yahoo Messenger or E-mail.

If you have not found a buyer yet, be patient. Keep on applying and never loose hope.

Update on taketheglobe.com

I just checked the site, and sad to say it is still under maintenance. They said it will be up and running by next week. I'll update you guys if the site is back!

Hello Ciao!

Another online earning opportunity I joined is the website called Ciao.com. It is a site where you will be paid for reviewing products, movies or just by sharing anything. Before, they pay their member $1 per review, however it has decreased to $0.25, and now I am not sure if they are still paying for any reviews. Every monday, they will post a new topic, and the member which has the best article or review will receive a cash reward. Also, you can earn a few cents just by rating other member's reviews. Also, the more friends you have, the bigger your chance of earning more.

Below is my current balance. It is $21, not that big though, but not that bad too. It's still money, right?

If I were you, join this site so you too can voice out your own opinion, and at the same time, you are earning. All it takes is a little hardwork.

Who took taketheglobe?

I have been a taketheglobe.com member for many months now. It is a paid to click opportunity where you will be paid 0.0010 per click, that's in dollars though. I like it because there are a lot of ads to click on. You just have to open the ad for 20 seconds, and that's it, you will be paid for doing so. I have made a research aboout this site, and most of the people say that it is legit, and that they are really paying. We'll I have not reached the minimum payout as of yet, but I am almost there (crossing my fingers). I have earned referrals too. But these few days as I am about to open the site to check my earnings, instead of logging in, I was routed to a different site with their message on it saying that the site is down at the moment, and that they are currently implementing version 2 of the website. Nevertheless, I find it kind enough that they have let their members know the exact reason why the site was down. They explained that their system was hacked by dishonest members, and that is why they have decided to shut off version 1 and implement version 2. Good thing they have made it clear that the accounts from the previous site which is the version 1 will still be credited to version 2. Wheew!! That was a relief. Anyway, once version 2 will be ready, I will still continue to become an active member because I want to receive my hard earned money.
