I already earned roughly about $1000 just by blogging (inconsistently) in a span of a year and a half not to mention the cash prizes I won in blog contests/giveaways I joined. It's just now that I realized that I could earn MORE if only I have MORE TIME. This amount is already BIG for me but it's just a dime compared to other bloggers who earned this figure for a month and a nickel to those earning a thousand dollar in just a day!
If my hubby and my little bro happen to read this, they maybe flushing with excitement coz this may mean a pair of Dapper sneakers and 5 lbs GNC Whey protein for my sweetie and the guitar accessories my bro has been asking me for a couple of months now. As much as I love to give them what they desire, how could I when that $1000 has already been withdrawn and spent bit by bit.
How I wish I didn't know yet how to verify my paypal account. In that way I would be forced to just leave that money there and wait for it to reach into six figures (after a century, maybe)...Har har!
I started withdrawing my first $100 from paypal during my sis-in-law's birthday last year. I wanted to surprise her with large boxes of Crunchy Bacon Cheese Pizza .The next sweet taste of my blogging earning was last october when my parents came to visit us. I brought my mom to Swensen's Ice cream parlour and ordered the largest serving they could offer! Our next stop was at Tesco Lotus women's department where I let my mom chose blouses and dresses she likes and tried them all in the fitting room! We bought about 4 or 5 blouses on that day.
A portion of my blogging money were spent at FQ and L Fashion Store. It was my first time spending lavishly for clothes. It was my first time handing the store's clerk a thousand baht for just a pair of pants ! If you knew me , my favorite shopping center is the flea market where I could buy pants for only a hundred baht and 3 Tops for 100 baht! It was my first time to spend 900 baht for a soft-muted tops and 800 baht worth of shorts too. It was my hubby who encouraged me to shop something expensive for myself without feeling guilty.
For the past two months, no cash flows into my paypal account. How do you expect someone with a full-time work, no netbook on her own (if I have I could blog on my free time between classes coz we have Wi-fi) and disconnected from internet service (hopefully, they'll connect us this week coz I already received the telephone number assigned to us) to blog? My paypal account flashed $0.00 on its dashboard for so long already . How I wish I could see figures on it soon. I do have some pending payout from SocialSpark but I couldn't withdraw it unless it reaches the $50 threshold. I'm only $2.50 short but it's impossible to grab opportunities these days. I always received notification that I'm qualified for a certain writing task but when I grabbed it, I'm always placed in the waiting list. In Inpostlinks, I temporarily stopped reserving opportunities because the amount they offer are depressing. Imagine writing 200 words for only 0.50-$1.00 and some topics like welch allyn medical devices, Ferrari brut or car spoilers needs an hour or more for me to be able to come up with a post that relates them to my fashion blog or to my parenting blog. If I have enough understanding or good knowledge of a certain topic then I could write for 30 minutes (at maximum).
Before I am disappointed when Payu2blog failed to give me tasks for the week but since we moved and with no internet I just felt alright even I don't have tasks from them in consecutive weeks. It's better that way than failing to submit my entry before the due date. It could mar my reputation and may lead to lesser opportunities in the future.
When I could get back online (hopefully soon as I expected), I hope to grab more writing opportunities and earn more for a cause. I will not disclose my project yet. I can be pertinacious and single-minded in the pursuit of this goal though it may mean waking up again as early as 3:00 am!
Wishing to see my next $1000 in less than a year.
