Setting Up Goals

Monday, July 7th, 2008

I’ve nearly passed my 9th month of blogging and trying to make money from blogging. As you may also observe from my monthly earnings reports I’ve managed the get my first AdSense cheque after six months and I’m expecting to achieve second AdSense cheque at the end of this month. So I will be receiving the cheque after three months.

bullseyeI remembered the milestones I was thinking of at the beginning of this road and I was planning to be receiving a cheque each month by the end of 2009. While my journey I’ve managed to find ways of earning money from blogging and I’ve also saw that the best way to keep a good consistent earning for beginners was writing articles (Hubs) for Hubpages. Up to day I’ve written 32 Hubs. Considering that this is my main source of money I should be writing more Hubs and I should do this by setting my self goals. So I decided to write 6 Hubs of different topics each month. So starting from this month I should have nearly 70 Hubs and that should bring me double times the money I make now.

Also I’m very close to finishing my Technology Toy Amazon Store and when I’m done with the store I’m expecting a consistent Amazon earnings and an increase of the AdSense earnings. I should be finishing the design by this week and start to produce some content for the TechToyBoy store so I’d be glad if you check out the link and share your ideas here.

Goals for July:

-Write 6 quality articles for Hubpages.

-Finish the TechToyBoy store and start marketing of the store.

Google PageRank Increase

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

After 5 months of BloggerDollar’s birth Google Gods have awarded BloggerDollar with a PageRank of two. This blog has been built from scratch and I don’t have any previous blogging or online money making experience and seeing that this blog has been given a PageRank in such a short time is great inspiration. The Pagerank doesn’t stand for any value itself because it doesn’t just boost up the traffic. It’s just a rating of your blog in terms of number but people believe in numbers so high PR usually returns as more traffic and more ads.

I am making the most of my money from Hubpages and this blog stands for logging and sharing the ways of making money from Internet. The PageRank increase is a good award and I hope the good effort converts as more online bucks.

How to Create More Time for Blogging

Friday, December 14th, 2007

I’ve been working at my day job which requires many travelling and I haven’t been able to find time for blogging lately. I was thinking of buying a laptop for using those times I spend on roads. I am spending at least 3 hours a day from my house to job and job to house and instead of sleeping all the time I got this laptop to create something. Actually I didn’t buy the laptop (don’t worry I didn’t steal it), my boss gave me one so I didn’t have to spend any money for my blogging actions. My boss is funding my blogging from now on. (Although he doesn’t know it:) Yes, Day jobs can be good sometimes.

If you are living in a crowded city like I do, most of your time is spent for nothing. I have a writing passion and I’m happy that I will turn that time into something I like doing. My first road project is a Hub about the top ten science-fiction movies, which was a topic I was craving to write for but I couldn’t find the time. If you spend so much time in traffic or travelling like I do look out for being a mobile blogger like I do. I will publish my hub soon (If I spend some more time at traffic it will be finished). If you are a science fiction fan like I am, keep an eye on my Hubpages.

Drafts for Blogging

Monday, November 12th, 2007

Do you use drafts for developing your posts or is it just a tool for you to save your work just in a case of computer malfunction ??
Most writers sit down, write a post till the end, read the post (many of them even don’t) and publish.  I guess this is killing bloggers creativity in a way. When we start writing and focus on one subject we can’t get our head up and look from a different angle. I think working with drafts is great for this reason. Instead of publishing a post and editing every time a new idea pops up, it’s better to save a draft and let some time pass and look at the subject from a new point. Our post will worth more like a wine waiting in the vault. (You don’t have to wait 22 years to get the taste of 1985 Bordeaux, Don’t worry:) Actually it’s natural process of writing; to take down notes, develop ideas and make a final writing but most of bloggers are amateur writers and just typing down as they feel.

I got this draft about importance of drafts (which is actually published now) and today I saw a fellow blogger (I don’t want to give names) with a Title :”Earn more with adsense” and the content was : “I will tell you ways of earning more with adsense by placing ads in different positions”.  There was one brief comment from a reader : “So Will you tell??”.

It’s shameful for a blogger to share such raw ideas. Get yourself a notebook (moleskine is a great draft book) or use drafts in your blog as a notebook.
