JANUARY 2010 INCOME

Hello there everyone! I am so blessed that God gave me an opportunity to earn extra doing online work. I know I've been lenient and was too lazy updating my blogs regularly. I had different priorities last year and that's the exact same reason why I was'nt able to find time improving my blogs and search for additional online work. But I'm back, wiser now and have learned that privileges comes with responsibilities so I need to work harder now to get back those opportunities I've lost because of my mistakes.

Anyways, I'm pleased to inform you that though I have been busy with other things and was'nt able to give so much attention to my blogging work - God still gave me several opps to help me pay the bills! I hope I hope I can inspire you to earn money at home through blogging as well.




SPONSORED REVIEWS - they gave me 5 opps this month! Sponsored Reviews never left me. They always give me review opportunities even though I rarely update my blogs. The best money maker I have so far! Got a total of $20.4 this month without much effort.

BLOGSVERTISE - this actually came as a big surprise! They gave me a lot of opps this month though I haven't heard so much from them last year. Would you believe I almost forgot that I had an account with them?! LOL. It really surprised me that I had 2 opps for $10 each for one of my sites who I just later found out got a PR3 from master G*og*e most likely because of the niche. I was so happy that I was able to write 5 reviews for them for a total of $47. I love it!

BUY BLOG REVIEWS - to be honest with you, I never thought that my blogs would be approved for this. If I remembered it right, I once signed up for this before and I never heard anything from them since. One day, I tried signing up for them again, this time with a different paypal account and luckily - they approved one of my blogs. I decided to sign up all of my blogs and hey, they were all approved. So far - since my blog was approved two months ago - they never fail giving me opps each week. Got $23.1 on my first month with them.


All in all, I received $91.5 or 4,209php ($1 = 46 php) from my online work this month! Not bad, enough to pay my electricity, phone, water and DSL bill! As I told you earlier, this is without much effort so I really feel that if I invest my time and energy on this scheme - I know I can do better than that. I intend to find more ways to earn money fast online and I promise this time, I would not fail.

I hope I was able to inspire you guys to try looking for opportunities on how to earn extra online. Feel free to email me if you have any questions in mind. I'm willing to help. God Bless us!

Just A Quick Post.

I am drafting my new sets of money makers, will also keep you updated of how much I already earn from this starting January 2010. I want a fresh start, I hope I can organize my blogging schedule asap. Will keep you posted. Hopefully I can summarize my money making raket within the day. I should learn to close my facebook tab when working online...it distracts me sobra!

On Making College Life Easier

I'm happy to inform you that I am now back on the right track. I think I just need to have some rest so I can refresh my mind and have a motivation to write on my blogs again and I'm happy because I feel I do have some progress here. I'm inspired to blog again!

Anyways, my niece Liezl texted me a while back about what I have written on my other blog for a slimming product. She said she wants me to order one for her and she will just pay me afterwards. I texted her back and told her that it is just a product review I've made for a certain client and that I have'nt tried the product myself. She replied and told me that I was able to summarize the advantages of having that product that she thought I myself is using it. She said if she've only known about my ability in writing before, she would have asked me to help her with her research paper. That made me realize that there are indeed a lot of students out there who are having a hard time finishing their projects and research papers. I myself had a hard time before when I was still studying but that is because I don't have the time to research thoroughly on my project as I work part time during those times. I guess there are also thousands out there like me who needs to work part time just to continue their education, if only those custom writing service companies are available at that time, I could've gotten their service which ould've made my college life easier.

Anyways, Liezl most likely will be dropping by our house anytime next week as I promised to discuss with her another business idea.

A Reunion

My dear friend Maricris texted me earlier to day asking me to attend her son's christening this coming Sunday, January 17 at their residence in Marikina City. Luckily, I don't have a shift that day. It would actually serve two purpose, I would be able to attend her son's christening and I also would be able to see my godchild Frances who is now seven years old. The last time I got to see her was when she was only two years of age and since I left the company where I and her mom worked before. I've been trying to find a way to meet them as I need to give my gift for her as a Christmas present. I actually ordered that online and this is the first time I made a transaction through that site. I got a cute nap mat for her with floral design. It is so cute and handy, she can bring it along anywhere for a sleepover party or picnic. The site where I saw this cute gift is called posylane dot com. There are so many gift choices to choose from for little kiddos. I want to buy Empoy, my nephew, that cute little Ezy Roller when he turns three. It is a three-wheel cart wiout pedals,chain or batteries that glides forward by moving your feet. I also would like to order those cute little personalized pillowcases for myself, lol.

I hope Frances would be happy to see the gift I bought for her and I pray that this reunion will rekindle my relationship with my old friend Maricris.

By the way, with regards to the business I'm trying to put up... I am still undecided. I already have the money at hand but is still hesitant to go for it without having formal education regarding the product we'll gonna sell. My hubby is planning to put up a Fried Chicken stand in front of her sister's house but we're still looking for the best recipe available. We also need to find a supplier of chicken parts, cooking oil as well as chicken breading and flour. We also need to know how to make the best gravy sauce. For the meantime, he will be assisted by her mother and start selling breakfast. He will meet his mom later tonight and they will talk about that. I really want Jojo to have his own business for additional income> Though he is now currently working as a virtual assistant, we still need additional income so we could buy our own house and lot within the next two years. I am also planning to get a second job as an Online English teacher so I could have an experience teaching online as preparation for my future job as a home based employee. I really pray God would lead us to the right path. Amen.

Im Optimistic!

Hello everybody! I hope all of you are in good shape and are as optimistic as I am for the year 2010. I am full of energy and I wanted to share with you all the things the keeps me busy these past few weeks.

I told you before that things are really not going well when it comes to my online raket, well you won't believe it. Just recently, I tried logging in to my account for xxx and I can't believe my eyes as I was given ten review tasks. I also checked xxx and I got 3! It was an overwhelming experience. Just when you feel that everything's falling apart and you're at the end of your rope... things like these happens. I 'm so glad that God did'nt permit me to lose hope and forget about my online job.

I've checked on my PR as I don't know why these companies started giving me review tasks after so many weeks with no opps and I to my surprise, I saw a green bar at the top of my two blogs. Master G gave me PR3 for my personal blog and my health blog, yehey! I also got PR1 for my hobby blog and my advice portal. I just love it! The opportunites are pouring and would you believe that I got myself an assistant writer? Yup, I now have my own assistant as I really can't handle maintaining more than ten blogs with tons of review tasks. Most of the review tasks I have expired just like that as I can't attend to it anymore. So as to make sure that I attend to each and every task that was given to me... I hired Badz, my friend Melai's sister to help me out with some of it. Could you imagine, I now have an employee?! lol. I intend to give her a third of what I was supposed to earn from that task. I also asked her to be a contributor to my five blogs so it could be updated every week. I am still on the testing process so I just hope everything would be just as what I want it to be.

I promise to update you always, I will find time. Goodluck to all of us bloggers!

updates! updates!

Good day! I want to give you some updates on what happened to me those past few weeks and what decisions we've made with regards to our small biz:

1) we just decided to call it off...why? First, the owner did not give in to our request of cutting P500 off the rent. We also studied the feasibility of a food business and surveyed the area where we'll gonna put it up and verified that since it is a residential area and the place is not really crowded with people, we might fail.

2) My SSS salary loan application is still pending and I HATE IT! Thought I already was able to pay in full the remaining balance I have, it took sometime for them to post it on my account... and my first loan application was denied because of that. It was supposed to be an additional capital for the biz.

3) I also does'nt have the time and the energy to start such a strenuous activity. Things are not going really well in the office lately. The company has so many new policies and I really feel kind'a stressed out and it burns out all my energies. I really feel this is not the best time for us to venture into a new business.

4) Last but not the least, my sister who is the owner of the house we live in is coming home for a vacation along with her family. As you all know, my sister is the one paying for the house rent. She asked us to take care of her house and her things and in return, she will be the one to pay for the house rent of P5,500/month. Since she is coming back from Singapore on December... I am not so sure if she is still willing to pay for our house bills as our landlord told us she will increase our rent. If her decision would be to stop paying for the rent, I don't think I would still. Besides the fact that the house is 3 rides away from where I presently work, I think buying my own house would be a more logical option - I would just need to apply for a Pag-ibig Housing Loan.

I know I tend to change my mind so easily. I guess I'm a compulsive type of person and I don't really think very well before I come up to a decision. It's a good thing that I can "think aloud" through this blog. All I plan to do right now is to focus on my blogs and to my online job so I can save enough money and be my own boss in 2012.

I would write about my online job on my next post. Seems everything is back to normal now as I am already receiving a lot of review tasks. Will keep up updated, till next time!

God's Provision

How are you dear readers? I hope you're in good situation. For those of you who were affected by typhoon Ondoy – I want to tell you that God has a purpose. We might not be able to grasp the reason behind your situation now but He is in control. You just need to put 100% of your trust to Him- without question asked. Be thankful that you are still breathing and that there is still a hope for a brighter future in stored for you if you will not get tired of trusting Him.

Anyway, this is it. God again gave me an opportunity to think it over AGAIN. Remember, I wrote on my previous post that I wont continue with my business anymore? Again an offer presented itself to us. The owner of the targeted biz location have agreed to lower down the rent to P3000/month. She also agreed on letting us pay one month deposit and one month advance as opposed to the previous agreement of one month deposit / two months advance. She also said she would put a mini “lababo” and would repaint the store. It's indeed very convenient location for us as we will just cook the menu @ home and my hubby would just bring it to the store to sell. It would save us a lot of money because we wont have to buy those big kalderos anymore as we already have all the necessary cookwares here at home. I'm still thinking about it though. I think I would ask one last request... if the owner would cut P500 off the rent – I would definitely give it a shot. One last sign Lord and I would go for it. I hope God would lead me to the right path. My hubby already want to have a business of his own and is now soo bored at home and wants something to do. I know having a food business would definitely turn his life around. Meanwhile, here’s the place well gonna rent if our plans would push through. It's not a big store, it's just like a little kiosk where we could display our food. What dya think?

this is the front view, we'll gonna rent the small kiosk beside the internet shop

the side view, it's so small but enough for food display

God bless our plans. Amen.

A Change Of Plan

Hi everyone, remember I told you on my earlier posts that I would soon be putting up a small canteen in front of my fathers house? Well, I and my hubby decided to change plans. It's just so happen that just recently, we've found out that a 24 hour food kiosk was built just in front of our target location. I've been fighting for this business for so long now and I guess having this kinds of obstacles along the way is God's way of saying..."I have different plans for you my Child". At first...I don't know how to react. It seems like I've been experiencing failures one after another. I can't understand what He want's me to do as of this moment...things are really getting from bad to worse. Blog review offers are getting scarce, I can't handle our finances well, I don't have my savings anymore...I am trying to be positive but sometimes I guess it's ok to vent out once in a while and share how you feel about things that are negatively affecting your moods. I am really pissed right now. I'm sorry...I guess I just need to let my readers know what's really going on. I guess it's not a mortal sin to admit you fail even if you happen to be an author of a positive money making blog...But I know one thing is for sure...It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong - than to be always right by having no ideas at all. Till next post peeps and I hope in my next venture...you'll hear a success story...

10 Ways to Grow Your Homebased Business

A thriving one- or two-person service business with no inventory, rent or employees can seem like an easy way to make money at first, but when the phone starts ringing off the hook and customers keep coming back for more, homebased business owners who fail to plan often fall victim to their own success. Either they burn out trying to juggle everything themselves or they spend so much time and money hiring people to help them that their profits go down the drain.
Fortunately, there are some ways to take your homebased business to new heights without sacrificing your business’s profitability or losing your peace of mind. Follow these 10 steps to grow your home based business into the personal and professional success it was meant to be:

1. Focus on a single product or service, and then market it, sell it, promote it, do everything you can to increase sales of that one product or service. While it’s tempting to swing for the fences and try to be all things to all people, it’s often less risky and more profitable to pick a product or two that you can execute really well and just try to get on base.

2. Expand your product line to offer complementary products or services. Once you’ve hit on a product or service that customers really like, don’t miss the opportunity to bring out related items to diversify your product line. Not only does that give your customers a wider selection, but it also makes your products more appealing to retailers who typically like to stock a line of products as opposed to a single item.

3. Find ways to increase sales to your existing customers. It’s a lot cheaper than finding new ones. Even if you can’t expand your product line, you can boost revenues by selling more of your existing product or service to the clients you already have. One easy way to do this is through volume discounts. Especially if your products cost little to produce, offering your customers the chance to buy, say, two T-shirts for the price of one lets you ring up additional sales without sacrificing much profit. Another common practice is to reward loyal customers by giving them a punch card that entitles them to a free product or service for every 10 items they buy. This technique is common at hair salons, car washes and arts-and-crafts stores, but homebased businesses can use it, too.

4. Hire someone to help you out. An employee, a freelancer, an intern, an independent contractor, even your kids. Not only does this free up cash flow by adjusting your expenses to the level of work you bring in, but it also enables you to cultivate a large network of talented people you probably couldn’t afford to hire full time.

5. Create a Web site to advertise your company or sell products online. Thanks to the Internet, it’s no longer necessary to open a store to reach retail customers. For marketers of specialty products like rare books, collectibles and gourmet foods, a Web-based boutique lets you reach millions of shoppers around the world without paying for rent, utilities or garbage collection.

6. Join forces with another business to promote your company. Partnering with a company in a related industry is one of the cheapest and easiest forms of marketing that you can employ. If you make spa products, for example, you may be able to convince a local health club to carry them in its store by offering a discount to its members. Likewise, you can send a free, one-day health club pass to anybody who buys your lotions and scrubs.

7. Target other markets. If you sell to teens, start marketing to college students. If you sell to working moms, maybe your product will work for stay-at-home moms with a few modifications. Another strategy is to take a retail-oriented product or service and sell it wholesale. For example, a homebased catering business that specializes in cakes, pies and other tasty desserts can contact local bakeries to sell its goods on a wholesale basis. While the price you get from the bakeries will be lower (because the bakeries need to mark it up to their customers to make a profit), you’ll sell more products and generate consistent cash flow that you can bank on.

8. Find new and different ways to market your business through e-mail newsletters or by doing guest-speaking gigs or by teaching a class. Marketing your homebased business doesn’t need to involve spending big money on newspaper ads, Yellow Pages listings, or TV or radio spots. Grassroots marketing techniques cost far less and are often much more effective. Most chambers of commerce and community groups are more than happy to provide a forum to a local business owner who’s willing to share his expertise at no charge. Sending out a weekly newsletter is also a great way to get your name out in front of new and potential clients. Thanks to the Internet, you can send out your newsletter via e-mail using online templates and automated delivery systems

9. Expand to another location. That could mean renting “virtual” office space in a business center or by sharing office space with another growing business.

10. Think about turning your business into a franchise or business opportunity. While most homebased businesses remain small, yours may have the potential to hit the big time through franchising, licensing or wholesale distribution. The key question to ask yourself is if your business can be converted into a business format that somebody else could operate (a franchise) or if you have a standardized product or service that someone could resell multiple times (a business opportunity). While you may think that expanding your business requires raising capital, hiring employees, buying equipment and leasing office or warehouse space, it’s often more profitable and less risky to license your product to a big corporation with manufacturing capabilities and an existing sales force to do the work for you.

Final Plan for Our Biz

Just last Sunday, Papa came here to get his "payday allowance" from me, its been a tradition that every time I got my paycheck, Papa would personally get his money from me and show me receipts of what medicines he bought for pain relief. He's been complaining about arthritis and back pain most of the time so I, being the good daughter that I am makes sure that he does have all the arthritis pain relief and back pain relief that he needs. I hope I was able to at least help him lessen the pain he is experiencing. Anyways, we had lunch together and I've learned that someone had already put up a small canteen in front of the soon to be "jomis food haus" business that were planning for almost two months now. I really don't find it a "bad news" at all - I think it's more of a "blessing in disguise" because it gave me an idea on what business to really focus on. I just asked my father about renting half of the store space so that he could still use the other half for his sari sari store. In that way, he could still have some source of income. We just thought of putting up a burger and a barbeque kiosk. I've learned from Papa that the used to be "burger stand" located near his place have already closed down and I feel that it is a clear sign that I would need to get that kind of business. My tita would be our assistant and would take over the operations of the business from 3 pm onwards as my hubby will only be available from 9am to 3 pm so he could still get his call center training course at night. I am really so excited to start this business...I feel that this is the start of a wonderful business career that I've been longing to have since I was a child. I hope God would bless my plans and this business venture of ours. I also want to help my hubby revive back his faith to himself, the faith that has been shattered since he lost his job because of me. I promise I would support him this time and I would make sure he makes all the decisions. He would be the manager of the business and I would just be the financier..hehe. Wish me goodluck guys and would update you what happened to our biz on our next posts.

JOMI'S FOOD HAUS

This is really is it! Hahaha! We'll finally open another business - this time is has something to do with food! I've always been wanted to be a bussiness woman. I want to have a business that I could say "mine" and Jomi's would definitely make my wish come true. I've been planning about this venture for almost two months now and still - I am having a hard time figuring out how a normal operations would be. The tentative opening date would be on August 18,2009. I know and I pray that this business would be a breakthrough in our lives, I hope I can help many people and I that I may Glorify God through this. Amen.

WORKING FROM HOME

I've always wanted to be a work at home professional. Having the liberty of working at my own phase, at my own time. Not worrying about being late at the office and most importantly - no boss who would scold me every time I was'nt able to cope up with the requirements of the job. I would be able to earn while doing things I love to do. I know everybody wants to have that kind of life. Having the luxury of time while earning and doing things you love to do. Just thinking of the possibilities of being in that state makes me wanna work harder to achieve it. You cannot just jump into being a stay at home professional without knowing the pro's and con's of being one. Working from home is not that easy! Here are some of the pro's and con's of working at home:

Pros:

1. Comfortable Location

Daily commuting from home to office and vice versa is cumbersome and expensive for some people. If there is space enough in ones house to make an office space to maintain some amount of privacy then there is nothing better than that. This way you can share a lot of time with your family which is usually not possible with a regular 12 hour office job.

2. Flexibility

You can figure out your own working hours and do not have to follow a strict nine-to-five schedule. You can take breaks whenever you want and continue working till you are satisfied. There is extreme freedom as far as dress code is concerned. You can be as comfortable as possible and be your own boss.

3. Savings

You can cut down on your fuel expenses and save money by working at home. Car maintenance charges are also reduced as a result. If you are working for a private company from home they will also furnish the equipments required for your work and no question of expenditure on your part.

4. Other Reasons

There are people who experience less stress working from home. They can control and concentrate on their work without the interference of colleagues and the boss. Health problems can also be solved by working at home.

Cons:

1. Isolation from social life - If you are working at home you are dissociated from the rest of your coworkers. Working alone can at times be very boring and time consuming. You might not be able to solve many work problems without helping hands. The lack of social interaction can lead to depression and other psychological problems which would hamper your work.

2. Limited Options - You cannot work if your job does not permit you to do so. For instance, if you are involved in the field of public relations, communication with people is indispensable for you. You cannot choose to work from your home in such a situation.

3. Equipment Expenditure - If your office does not provide you the equipments required for your work at home, it can increase your expenses. This can be problematic for people who do not have enough savings to incur this cost. You need a proper space in your house to set up an office because a minimum privacy is required for work. If that is not available it is even more expensive to set up.

4. No regular Income - If your work is project based then you might not receive monthly pay checks. Your financial condition has to be extremely well to maintain your finances in such a scenario. Unlike if you are working for a certain company, you are uncertain of when youll gonna receive your hard earned money. Bank failures, late check delivery and even the slightest change in weather could potentially get in the way of getting your income.

5. Fraud - You might not be trusted completely by your clients since you are working from home. Your sincererity might be under surveillance. This would hamper your professional image to your clients.

6. Distractions - If you have children they can be the cause of distractions during your working hours. Visitors can also disturb you while you work. You cannot avoid such sources of disturbance.

7. Discipline - You need a great deal of self discipline, energy, dedication and financial stability for this type of endeavor to be successful.

So now that you've learned the advantages and disadvantages of working from home, you must balance your options. Make sure that you don't put 100% of everything in one business. You might want to invest the other part of your money to mutual funds, bonds and other business opportunities as well. Godspeed!

A NEW BUSINESS IDEA

Good day everyone!

As I mentioned on my previous post, I would give you some ideas on how to earn extra not just through the net but also some other legitimate "rakets" that we could take just to have an additional source of income. Well, I would like to share with you a new business venture that I together with my partner in life, Jojo - would take just to have another source of income. I would like to get a house of our own next year and having a business like this would definitely help pay the monthly amortization. Anyways, I just recently thought of putting up a small eatery in our previous store space in Sta. Mesa Manila. Yup, we would be back in our former store space which is currently being managed by my father. Well, my father decided to just give back to me all the things I left him for the store because he can't stay the whole day in the store anymore and is also having a hard time managing it. So, I just decided to come back and just use the space to put up a small food house. The original plan was to make a tapsilugan kiosk but I changed my mind as we are still not familiar in the ins and outs of the food business. We might need to start small instead, so I just decided to put up a small eatery. The eatery would sell agahan, tanghalian and hapunan and merienda as well. Agahan would start as early as 5 am till 8 am and would comprise of Filipino favorites such as longsilog, tapsilog, tocilog, hotsilog, sopas, champorado, pancit etc. Lunch would be available as early as 10 am til 2 pm which would normally comprise of 2 fried foods, a veggie and 2 meat viands. I would also open a bbq stall which would be open as early as 12 nn as well which would serve mostly grilled liempo and fish. Merienda would start at 2 pm to 6 pm which would include pancit, banana que, turon, tukneneng, siomai, squidball etc. I would also open a sandwich stall that would serve hotdog, ham, chicken, egg sandwiches. Lastly, dinner will be served at 6 pm till 10 pm - which would comprise of pork bbq's, a meat dish, a fish dish and a veggie dish. Though it's just a small space, I know the preparation would be tough. I am willing to shell out P20,000 for the starting capital plus P10,000 for operational expenses. We would need to hire 3 people to help us Jojo with the operations. We would hire papa to be our cook, Tita - my stepmom to manage the night shift operations and one assistant who would take care of the dishes and run errands for us. We would be giving then a hundred peso a day for that which means I would need to have a profit of more that P300/day so we could continue with the business. We'll gonna rent the store space for P1500/month and Jojo's transpo would cost him around a hundred per day. Well, by faith I know it would be feasible. By faith I know we'll gonna hit the P1000/day profit. Wish us luck!

NEW BLOG EARNER

Do you know that I almost lost my hope in earning money online and is on the brink of giving up this blog? This feeling of discouragement started when I lost my PR on my main blog and started getting fewer reviews opps. It's because the main THEME of this site is to show everyone how to earn money through blogging - and I felt, I failed. Well, I still get some review opps but my income is not as high as what I used to get last year. I only get around 4-5 thousand pesos monthly which I feel is just okey but still fall short of my target monthly blogging income. But it's a good thing that I came into realization that this is the perfect time to blog about the ups and downs of a blogger's life. It's not always sunny day and we should always stand to our feet quickly whenever we fall...as one noble man said " ONE WHO FEARS FAILURE LIMITS HIS ACTIVITIES. FAILURE IS THE ONLY OPPORTUNITY TO MORE INTELLIGENTLY BEGIN AGAIN...". And so here I am...taking my chances again and creating 7 more exciting blogs and I hope this time - there would be nowhere to go with my online venture but upward. Amen!

Ive learned so many things about the do's and dont's of writing a niche blog, how to get a high PR and how to maintain it. BALANCE is the key word. I would also show you some articles on how to get extra income, where to get part time jobs and recent job openings especially in the call center industry. Everything about earning and money - BLOGEARNER would have it all.

Hopefully I can make this blog as user friendly as possible as I intend to reach out to Filipino people who wants to earn money fast online to support their family. It is really possible to earn money at home through blogging. I would like to help young people who wasnt able to finish their studies because of poverty, people who lost their jobs, and people who wants to be a stay at home professionals, like me.

Sirs and Mams - I would liek to present to you a new and improved....
